For the son's power: I don't think we can really understand how it works completely but to me it works this way. His power is to find "lost thing" and bring them back to his present self. So it find is dad when he was "lost", 18y ago when he save teenager Do Da-Hae just before the lab blew up. Seeing him completely fine, I don't think he went to the past per se. More like a summon ?

It's also why Gwi-Joo "disappeared". For him, being with his son his like it was yesterday when he saved Do Da-Hae. Time travel logic here.

you suggest in your initial comment that those of us shipping Grace and Dong Hee are merely misinterpreting friendly feelings for romantic feelings, that we must not know what friendship looks like. And I'm saying shipping generally doesn't give two flying fucks about what canon actually says. People ship characters who've never even spoken to each other, lol. It's about seeing two characters who's vibes you like and mashing them together like barbie dolls.

so I read an explanation, basically the kid can summon any missing thing from any time if he sees a picture of it, and gwijoo didn't exist in the present time as he was supposed to die in the present fire so he had no time to come back to and basically didn't exist, just wandering through the past. the child summons him from the last moment he existed, during the fire. it had taken that many years for him to come back because that was the age at which the children develop their powers. if I didn't explain it well enough to understand I can send the link of the explanation tweet too lol

Not the Noble Idiociy plot (self sacrifice) in ep 10 😭

One trope that needs to be forever BANNED from dramas!

my heart wouldn't be able to handle it, I'm so invested 😂

you're not totally wrong lol, I get you. many older women/younger men dramas always have a break up episode. but what I'm praying for is for this to be a matured romance where it gets sorted out easily and very quickly.

You said everything i was thinking tbh

❤❤❤

Yeah when u finally convince stubborn person to try doing something they didn't wanna do and open them to the idea only for that to end up failing and making them feel like they were right in the first place and shouldn't listen to others it's kinda hard to open them up to the idea of them changing.

So when she heard that news from grand daughter she instantly went to her old trusty ways.

I asume she will just go along and try to make her son happy in next episodes while still believing he will die.

nooo don't be sorryyy i lovee your writing!!!

The next dialogue is what hits me.
“you told me to do what you can’t? I can’t lose you either.”

I know. That was funny to watch. Even if it was something small, I liked him doing that to both Ming and Tong. It was his revenge a little bit

I dislike the plots where one lead thinks they are doing something to make it better/ easier for the other lead. The unwarranted, unfounded break-ups, the mean words to make them walk away, the self sacrifice.... It bothers me. It always makes it worse and everyone is miserable in the meantime. My opinion. I just dislike those type of plots. I'll watch them, obviously, but I don't like them.

Ik its a faux pas on mdl to criticize 'fun' 'silly romcoms because youre ruining it for everybody or whatever but i dont care and im gonna do it anyways so if you dont wanna engage with Actual criticism just scroll.
It is actively ableist to start a story with a disabled main lead and by the end of the show, through plot machinations, shes not disabled anymore.
Its even more of an affront because in the original story, she is not actually disabled. They have inserted disability to raise the stakes, to make sure the only stakes arent he dies or she dies but also that she might have to 'go back' to being disabled.
Sol has been disabled her entire adult life, the show does not care about that. They dont want to engage with it or how it affects her so she can never be well rounded.
The very concept of 'curing' a disabled chara and making them no longer have that fisability, returning them back to their 'essence' is actively harmful.
It is disappointing and frustrating, and completely robs me of any enjoyment i couldve had in this show. These showrunners used disability as a plot device and week after week ive had to see fans discuss how scared they are for sol to 'end up' anything but abled and back to her 'normal' life. Those are the conversations and fears that this kind of narrative stokes.
It plops you into the story showing you some of the worst ableism, how sol cant even get a job because theres zero accessability in the world around her, and then promptly ignores it.
Anytime ive brought this up to anybody the response has been 'well this isnt that kind of show'. What kind of show do you mean? Is there a reason this show couldnt have engaged with her disabled experience? Is there a reason she couldnt just have been disabled from birth? Is it about the show or is it about how people dont WANT to see that and theyre using the show as an excuse?
And above all else, THIS WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL STORY. THEY MADE HER A DISABLED CHARACTER. Just to IGNORE that part of her.
The fact that everybody has been so accepting of this, that so many criticisms have been shut down and that so much ableist rhetoric has been passed around week after week has completely ruined any and all enjoyment i couldve had from this show.

Random thought but I just think Dahee looks so cute when she cries, because she allows herself to be vulnerable for once and it's like she goes back to being that lonely kid from her past, because we all know she never overcame her fear of being left behind. The scene where Gwijoo said he would never come back to her and she cries but then sees "future" Gwijoo right in front of her and she allows herself to cry in front of him, that was just so 🥺
