usually when people see a movie/tv show or read a book they take the situation the writter give us and interpret…
I guess we can imagine HJP quickly became successful. He got married with his secretary It did not work because he was a workaholic. He got divorced and his ex wife took his kid so he is alone again and depressed. Then he finds an AI to talk with him and his colleague books him for a lecture at Sand box's premises.
These letters were not between HJP and SDM. They were between a fake penfriend called NDS that HJP and Grandma…
These letters were not from HJP. They were from a fake NDS. A penfriend made up by Grandma and HJP.
These letters are fake. It is the reason why Grandma never told the truth to Dal Mi. If they were true she would have nothing to fear and no need to hide anything to Dal Mi. She would invite HJP for diner to talk about the letters and good old time together and have fun. But they are fake.
Grandma is afraid that Dal Mi knows these letters she takes for the most important and helped building her life for 15 years are a lie. It would destroy her.
This is exactly the issue. If the letters are not fake there's no issue.
Do San loves her so I don't think he disregarded her feelings. But to each one his own opinion on that matter.
I agree he is doing a great job portraying a very interesting and endearing character. I have nothing against supporting or loving him or his character. The casualties I am talking about are just the ones who would only see what they want to see.
Let me just say this, its been 8 episodes already and NDS still doesnt understand the significance of the letters…
These letters were not between HJP and SDM. They were between a fake penfriend called NDS that HJP and Grandma invented using the identity of another boy in the newspaper.
HJP considered these letters a chore and called them "stupid". He found "stupid" the idea of making him write…
HJP himself said the letters were written by him and grandma together and he alone won't take responsibility for them. But some people here want to believe mordicus it is not true he wrote the letters by himself but he can't acknowledge he has feelings for her.
No chance she goes on a date with HJP. She is not so fickle. If she goes back and forth between the two, I will…
The one who has been on her mind is not HJP. He is a fake NDS who was made up by Grandma and HJP. She is smart enough to sort things out.
If HJP has some decency and honesty, he would tell her that he is not that NDS like he said to Grandma they made him up together. If Grandma cares about SDM, once she has found the truth, she should tell her everything that she was the one who invented fake NDS and the letters and the words were hers.
I think SDM is too realistic to be pinned down by the fantasy of an ideal first love when she was 9 or 10.
ok two main theories i have for the next 2 eps she'll def find out about the lie either in ep 9 or at the most…
No chance she goes on a date with HJP. She is not so fickle. If she goes back and forth between the two, I will rate this 0.5 overall. I'll go for option 1 but excluding the "right away".
yeah, i don't know why so many people assume that they didn't mean anything to him and that he didn't care about…
Keep your facts right.
- When they play go stop and HJP smiles. It is not because of the souvenir of him copying the wish from the TV. It is because SDM talked about the fact that depending of the persons, this wish can be actually special or very trivial if they used to do it or never had the chance to do it. He smiles because she is so understanding she can picture these different possibilites and he can relate to one. But it absolutely does not mean that 15 years ago, that wish was his when he wrote it. To assume it based on his smile when playing go stop is a strech. He wrote it 15 years ago because it was on TV. He could not have wished he wanted to play Go stop with his family because he had no family to start with. It's like You saying you wish to win the marathon when you have no legs anymore.
- "writing and reading it by himself." NO, not AND: OR. They show him writing one letter the one in which he copies the idea from the TV and twice he receives a letter and looks annoyed the first time and looks up wondering the second time.
- I see you read my previous comment. HJP did not explained to NDS why it meant something to SDM to make a wish in front of a rainbow. He just said to NDS "Can you understand written korean language? If not what am I going to do with you?". Because NDS could not understand the figure of speech used by that girl.
- HJP is not in denial. He is a perfectly written character with his qualities and flaws and very consistent in his attitude, behavior and reactions. It is the ones with Second Lead Syndrome who are in denial of who he really is. But ok, you enjoy it the way you like it.
HJP considered these letters a chore and called them "stupid". He found "stupid" the idea of making him write…
Like I said to you, it is too bad to not understand the intention of the writer, director and actors just because you understand the events of the drama in a way to fit your own wishes... HJP never liked or cared about SDM during their youth. You trying to build you own drama of "childhood lovebirds meet again 15 years later" is your own miss. But ok, eveyone enjoys it his own way.
Now that the truth about the letters and fake NDS are about to be revealed, I am reflecting about one thing. Why 15 years? Why the lie is lasting 15 years? I mean, if grandma made Ji Pyeong write a few letters and he wrote the rest on his own pouring his heart and his feelings... She could have told Dal Mi some time later. Why 15 years with Dal Mi reminding Grandma about how great her Do San from the letters is and she never told her anything?
She could have told her: "I asked him to be you penfriend under another name and I gave him some hints at the beginning because he did not know where to start". And later she could have said "He went to Seoul for his studies but one day if you both were sincere about your friendship you both will surely meet again. His real name is HJP". Why not? That way, if SDM and HJP meet again they only have to rekindle their past natural complicity and friendship and tell each other about the good old time and read the letters together and laugh and explain to each other why they wrote this or that...
Why not? Why15 years of lies?
The only plausible reason is that all the letters are just full of lies that HJP cannot take as his own and Grandma cannot afford Dal Mi to know that they are hers.
HJP considered these letters a chore and called them "stupid". He found "stupid" the idea of making him write…
You said yourself "eventually" but that's your assumption only. You said "I am guessing" well it is just your guess. You said he was excited to read the letter. I don't see him excited at all like Dal Mi was giggling and opened the letter immediately. He sat down and read the letter and looked up. Why he did not ran home to reply?
You are right we have our own understanding of things based on our own experience and logic but still a cat should be a cat.
The question is not '' Are the letters fake or genuine ''? The question is '' What will happen to Dal Mi when she will know the letters ARE fake''.
No fake letters no drama. Simple as that.
These letters are fake. It is the reason why Grandma never told the truth to Dal Mi. If they were true she would have nothing to fear and no need to hide anything to Dal Mi. She would invite HJP for diner to talk about the letters and good old time together and have fun. But they are fake.
Grandma is afraid that Dal Mi knows these letters she takes for the most important and helped building her life for 15 years are a lie. It would destroy her.
This is exactly the issue. If the letters are not fake there's no issue.
Do San loves her so I don't think he disregarded her feelings. But to each one his own opinion on that matter.
So who is interpreting? Surely not me.
If HJP has some decency and honesty, he would tell her that he is not that NDS like he said to Grandma they made him up together. If Grandma cares about SDM, once she has found the truth, she should tell her everything that she was the one who invented fake NDS and the letters and the words were hers.
