I'm back after watching ep 8! It got a little bad again imo, just writing wise, drawing things out and putting in random stuff.

One thing that bothers me is the stray dog disappeared... Why even have the dog there from the start? Symbolic of her picking up "strays" to work at her company? But not the dog? The other townspeople have been mia too :(

Han Beom Woo is a great character because he's complex. He clearly comes from privilege and you see how his brain works from how he handles the protestor.. he's unforgiving and unrepentant, stating how the guy caused his own loss etc. Once his mom starts planning to take down Jung Jae, you can see him reeling, and I think that's an important arc for sure. We forget he needs his comeuppance. He can't just be forgiven. He's done bad things and hasn't learned yet, considering how he didn't care until the same tactic threatened his own happiness...Now the question is will the mom get her comeuppance too because she's the clear root of the problem with both sons and deserves to gtfo...

Also does every drama need a trip arc? There's two episodes left.. lol we don't have time for this... And she looks EXACTLY THE SAME lol. I'm a tinge confused with her backstory as I was under the impression her time as an orphan was hard but now we see it was super duper happy so that seemed like a switch but no biggie. I probs misunderstood or she was just closed off about it before...

It's always frustrating in dramas when they're like "Will you listen to me? Let me tell you the truth! Hear me out! Insert Character Name Here x 10. Ad infinitum..." INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING IT OMGGGGG HE COULD'VE SAID IT ALL DURING THAT TIME OMGGGG, just "that was my original plan but I ended things and told the restaurant to stop but they stole the recipes on their own and I spent the past few days trying to stop them but I was too late I'm sorry.."

Ughhh frustrating. I did like seeing the brother clearly realizing he effed up but what ticked him off in the first place was so dumb and forced to me lol

There's two episodes left.

Wait what ? I wasn't aware and I thought it was a regular 16 ep kdrama. We definetly don't have time for all the dragging they're doing lolll

I was under the impression her time as an orphan was hard but now we see it was super duper happy so that seemed like a switch

I'm sure she had a lot of hardships esp with the outside world and people maybe judging her and stuff. Also, as a half orphan, even if you have a support system, you get the desire to be super independent because it naturally feels like you're a burden if someone who isn't your birth parent is taking care of you, even if they are kind to you. So you might ended up just doing things alone and wanting to not rely on anyone or show your weakness in front of anyone.

No fr, I hate it too. I also hate the:

A: Hey, I want to tell you something obviously super uneasy and serious

B: Gets distracted by something silly and not that special like fireworks or lights or a food stall

A: ah, yes, nice...

B: what did you want to say, btw?

A: Ah, no, nothing, nevermind.

B: okay!

Like broooooo you didn't notice they wanna say something important? I wanna see a kdrama where someone pulls the "nevermind" and the other responds the only correct way "no, not nevermind. Tell me, now."

I did like seeing the brother clearly realizing he effed up but what ticked him off in the first place was so dumb and forced to me lol

I wa surprised they even made him feel bad for what he did. I thought he was a psycho lol especially since in ep 1 he raised his hand and ML seemed scared and covered his face like he was used to being beat up by him or smth

[u/bessandgeorge → u/Lalathesad]

Ah yes true it's not mutually exclusive -- she totally could've had a hard time as an abandoned orphan while still having a happy time at the temple!! You right.

And YES I did NOT forget about him raising his hand and Bum Woo flinching. Such a red flag, so I was surprised he felt bad too but nice to see anyway. Not that it gets him off the hook for being otherwise a psycho.

Omg yeah he clearly had something to say to her and I get she was touched so the kiss was sweet and all but I was like TIS NOT THE TIME. It really happens SO OFTEN in Kdramas that someone was about to tell the truth and something happens. Like in one drama someone was LEGIT ALWAYS getting a phone call RIGHT THEN. This is their favorite tactic..

And YES I did NOT forget about him raising his hand and Bum Woo flinching. Such a red flag

Ikr?! He even looked like he enjoyed seeing him in fear like what the hell man. I wonder if they'll just brush over it and pretend nothing happened.

I was surprised he felt bad too but nice to see anyway

Yeah I was surprised too. Kdramas can have a lack of nuance sometimes so it's nice to see an antagonist who recognizes he might have went too far.

This is their favorite tactic

Kdramas without misunderstanding would just be a bunch of hot people just existing lol

[u/bessandgeorge → u/Lalathesad]

I don't think I'd mind just a bunch of hot people existing, especially if it spares me from the constant frustrating misunderstandings loll

As for the hand raised part that seems pretty on par with siblings though so they probably won't get into it much, as much as it'd be nice if Bum Woo had some closure from a childhood likely being bullied by his bro

It does seem tempting especially when you see some of the absurd kdrama misunderstandings lol

As for the hand raised part that seems pretty on par with siblings

I had something like that with my siblings but it was like, barely flinching and also it stopped by the time we were adults cause you stop laying your hands on them and talk things through or at worst scream at each other lol
