sai

No they said he "looked familiar", not that he reminded them of the Eungyeol that they knew. They basically forgot about their bandmate. And even if it's been 28 years, if they're reminiscing about their band while watching Spine9, wouldn't they remember the band member that was so vital to the team?

yup:(

I can't stop thinking about how Cheongah and the band doesn't remember Eungyeol & everything he did for them :( Like i know it wouldnt make sense for them if they remembered but at the same time he did so much for his parents it's a shame only one person remembers. Without Eungyeol, Cheongah would've learned sign language much later, and would be living with that abusive lady until the day she moves out & cuts off relations with the entire family. He literally built the bridge between Cheongah and the rest of the world and helped her have a relationship with her father. Hyunyul & the other 2 only agreed to be part of the band if Eungyeol was there. But of all people to remember him, Yichan obviously makes the most sense as he spent the most time with him & made such an impact.

The closest to this plot-wise and vibe wise is probably the cdrama 'I don't want to be friends with you'. The FL goes back in time after an argument with her mother to when her mother was a teenager and, almost exactly like Eunyu, tries to stop her mother from dating her father so that the mum could have a better life in the present. The twist is different from this drama tho :) Highly recommend, it's a very heartwarming drama with two cute couples

i guess maybe it hurt mentally for him to speak? he's used to being loud and hearing his voice but now he can't hear a single thing he says which would have affected him emotionally. so he probably just gave up and used it less and less over the years

I assumed what she did in the past with reconciling Sekyung and her father, that must've fixed their relationship in the present since she's no longer trying to live through her child she's found peace in her life.

Ik everyone's saying the ending was rushed and yeah I'd like a couple more minutes in the present time but honestly it wasn't that bad, almost everything was addressed and it was a very satisfying closure. gonna miss this drama :(

Man I started this show thinking I'd be fine because even though it's quite transparent about mental health and really exposes you to the most uncomfortable parts, I can usually deal with them to a certain extent. But it did end up showing my one trigger that I'd completely forgotten I had, self harm. There is a scene where the patient actually cuts herself instead of just showing us the resulting scars which made me pause the drama and step out for some air.

So beware, to anyone who has triggers, I suggest you try to look up the content just so that you can be a bit mentally prepared beforehand.

The preview for next week is making me emotional seeing how Mokha and Kiho are again in the same roles they were 15 years ago. Mokha singing, Kiho recording. Except now Mokha will be on a stage in front of hundreds and Kiho is one of the lead producers of a famous network.

I thought this too but remember how someone (Daewoong i think) said Kiho had become unrecognizable after he ran away and grew up? I imagine it's the same idea with Woohak, Bad Dad only saw him as a teen and not as an adult so he doesnt know what he looks like, that's if he even thinks he's alive. Plus Woohak probably had his name changed as well so the whole family could stay in hiding.

I noticed that a little too. I guess she's trying to play into the fact that Mokha is still mentally a 16 year old since she never had social interaction or education in those 15 years. But yeah, some of her WYW acting has rubbed off into Mokha.

i'd love to know the extra bits!!

Good point, but idk it still wouldn't make sense why he'd only put Kiho's name in the life insurance. Wouldn't Woohak also be a "bad son" then because he stayed with his mother instead of leaving with him? He's not purposely seeking out the two other family members when they undoubtedly got on his bad side too.

I think after today's episode it's pretty much 100% confirmed that Bogeol is Kiho. In the family picture the boy next to Kiho looks older than him, so that obviously has to be Woohak. Bogeol knew Mokha would be at the station, and said the exact same words Kiho told Mokha.

Luckily they don't seem to be dragging the Kiho situation that much since almost everything was revealed today. We just need the final story that connects all the events together. After seeing the comments, I think what happened was that all 4 of them lived in Seoul together in that apartment, and the father started getting very violent, leaving the mother with the limp and Woohak with the head injury. I think the mum then runs away with Woohak to get him help and Kiho offers to stay behind & hold back the father so they can escape, and then is forced to move to Chunsam island with him for some reason. Afterwards, Kiho gets enough money to leave Chunsam and return to his family.

The father doesn't seem to recognize that he has another son. For the life insurance thing, he only put Kiho. And he's so intent on finding Kiho, no one else. This makes me think that when they lived in Seoul, the father hit Woohak so hard that he believed he died. That makes the most sense atm. He thought he killed someone, so he takes his only remaining son and runs away to Chunsam island.

exactly how i feel! friendship is so underappreciated

i'm not really a big pby fan either after her previous works and that was lowkey one of the reasons i hesitated starting this but she's actually fine in here to me. she suits this type of character a lot.

on ep5 and for once the romance/love triangle (of the main leads) is my least favorite part of this drama, but at least it's not a big part of it. i like the second couple more but even they aren't really giving me butterflies or anything because of the doctor's inability to take a no

well mental health can be uncomfortable for many, even if they do understand it. by showing us what mental illness/disorders is really like, they know we WILL inevitably be uncomfortable with it, at least initially. we may even be uncomfortable afterwards but that is the truth of psychiatry. it is not comfortable or relaxing.

plus everything with Chungah's family & Sekyung's real dad/Eungyeol's mentor but that looks like it'll be addressed tomorrow

I'm pretty sure Eungyeol said he was an 11th grader. So he'd be 16/17 internationally. Same age as his father in 1995.
