The way his eyes glitter when he sees her, and he lowers himself to match her eye level and the way he softly teased her and tentatively listens to what she says >>>

Honestly they nailed the cast, both of their presence complements each other and they match so well🥹💖

It is better than readding them both as siblings, and their son is also cute too

First season alone had enough character presence and they had the mains and their love interests, thats 8 characters beside the side characters that also left an impression and I didn’t even continue s2🫡

romantic dr1 also had better character buildup, and that changed their mains in s2

I wonder if they’ll have a grandson and he’ll be a PBG lookalike for the 2000s arc

Just how the villagers almost all hid their kindness, it was a luxury to be kind honestly, to give what you barely have, to look after others not related to you when you could barely look after your own
And they gave their kids everything they couldn’t have, but they never complained losing their dreams
It takes one person to break a generational trauma, and they raised such well aware kids, grateful yet also felt the burden of the hardships

They should’ve added a bit more of the happiness and normalcy before the ep6 things happened, eventho the message was heartbreaking and heartwarming, it felt a bit rushed

Actingwise tho, both of them excelled, even the kids😭
I am a huge fan of IU and having seen her side bel ami, she more than improved, she secured her place as a top actress, I hope she gets a daesang for this
I’m not a fan fan of PBG, but his character here is that “silent type”, watching variety shows Koreans always describe their older men as the “silent type” that don’t show emotions, and that’s how he is, he’s not silent, slow or uncaring, he can’t express his emotions, but his actions always carried his love and pain

Ep5, beside iu being so cute as aesun, I love her contrast and obvious differences as guemmyeong

Ironically in here I feel like he looks a bit like EXO’s chen now 🤣

I don’t mind it here since they meet as student/teacher, so even if she found him attractive as an adult, it shatters when she thinks he’s a kid
But ✨childhood connection✨ means destiny and thus her affections were “out of her hands”🤣

She also changed her name so when her mom called her real name, he realized it’s his bff

they’d recognize each other faster, since here both changed their names and obv don’t look the same
But kids barely even have a personality to be unforgettable 1st loves🤣🤣🤣🤣

“It’s them? Then those vibes I got must’ve been LOVE”

I do like that she crushed on him when she first saw him. But I wished he showed a bit more interest before he realized it’s her

Childhood connections be like “hmm this stranger I don’t particularly have a crush on but vibe with reminds me of my bff when I was 6 that I never saw again”

I actually see many edits on TikTok and insta and all have high views and likes ✨

I first saw woo dohwan in save me and my first impression was that he looked similar to seo kangjoon, so I’d love to see them act together as brothers 🤞🏻🙄

She’s a kid after all, for them they’re the center of their world🤣

She also sees how “cool” haeseong is and how even her mom worries for him, meanwhile they expect her to have it all figured out, she doesn’t want to show her weakness and she knows she’s being used by her supposed friends but she was outcasted so she “cowardly” chose to ignore their bullying to not be alone

It’s good, more like a “Nancy drew” type, there’s a hidden treasure they’re trying to find by following clues mixed with comedy and school drama

It’s also sad to see poor parents try to give their kids the world and not being able to

From the first scene we see her alone, but I hope it doesn’t happen too early😭

Maybe it’s also to reflect how they really wanted to become like Seoul ppl and seem “trendy”

“Feminism” is just woman wanting to have a worth and a place they deserve but Koreans act like it’s a man hating word🤡
