In all fairness 99% of Kdrama will not have fluff ending until at most last 20 minutes of final episode.
Yeah & at the same time 99% of kdramas do not deserve a rating above 7.
Fluff is just a part of it, mostly it's just the insanely written complications. Sad events can be good as well of course.
(Also it's often sus when the writer has no other drama to her name & yet appears to be an industry veteran. Those ppl tend to not be good at the final episodes & that's why their real name is hidden from the public)
Yes & it's a relatively strong one until e10. The second ML is very annoying. (and we have no idea what's to come in the last episodes, I can totally imagine second ML to go completely off the rails ignoring the rejection & doing insane stuf)
I agree with everything you said up to the last 3 lines. >they didn't explain why the father or mother couldn't…
>Cheong Ah didn't carry the notebook/paper
Yeah maybe. I'm just thinking she did not care, because up until recently she had no one she wanted to communicate with.
>They were always considered the second after Japan in Asia in many things back then.
I strongly disagree in this context. They had an amazing economic bloom, but in terms of the treatment of women or especially the treatment of people with disabilities, they were awful & to lesser extent that is the same today. The Korean society had & has a huge problem with a societal chain of abuse & the bullying of people outside the norm as well. (fat shaming is big as well) If I had to pick a place to live as a person of disability, nineties Korea only wouldn't be near the bottom of the list, because at some places of the world they would have killed me in infancy :-)
I agree with most part of your review. As a person who has been living in the 90's (that actually around the same…

>they didn't explain why the father or mother couldn't use hearing aid. Hearing aids don't work on the completely deaf, It's reasonable that the mom couldn't use them. How the dad has gotten there is indeed a big stretch & what's an even bigger stretch is that he learned how to talk, so it makes 0 sense that he wouldn't talk later in life. (though I barely remember the details of how the damage occurred)
>saying 90's was so stone-age that disable people suffered throughout the period?
I think that part is actually depicted better and I mean far far better than the reality. Being a disabled person in 90' Korea must have been a god awful experience for a variety of reasons. Even today it's unimaginably worse than in the US or pretty much all EU countries. Though the modern gadgets certainly help.

Is this drama watchable if I FF button him indiscriminately?
Yeah maybe. I'm just thinking she did not care, because up until recently she had no one she wanted to communicate with.

*gives 7 points re-watch value* lool :D
(sorry for double posting, MDL lagged & for some reason cannot delete the second one)

That could be due to your age, then again most kdramas are rather slow paced objectively..
