The actress playing the older Jye Ha was superb.
Her name is Kim HyeJa (the same as her character in the drama). The whole drama was a tribute to her. Lots of little references about her career scattered throughout the drama... the ads she did when she was younger, the friends she had (has).SpoilerYes to her “father”(son). If I recall right, when we were watching live, quite a few got mad at him for being so unresponsive to her plight after her “transformation”. Everyone else seemed to just go along with it and make do but he seemed so distant. It all made sense after the big reveal. Why he was so awkward around her. He was devastated that his mother couldn’t recognize him as her son. And yes when it dawned on him how she did care all these years, it was a cry fest..
.
Yes to the 2 ahjussis that she thought were con men. I had a friend whose mother (with dementia) thought the staff in the Aged Care were out to poison her so getting her to take her tablets was a daily struggle.

@triplem it was SO clever wasn’t it?
Last few eps did a lot more explaining and resolution. It was beautiful right to the end. So hopeful 710

Kinda was taken aback at the scene where LJ went to Libya to see LK and looked like he genuinely cared for him...? Did anybody else notice this...?
Yes I noticed that. I don’t believe Jun actually hates Kang. He just always feels like he needs to measure up to his grandmother...no thanks to his Super pushy parents. and a grandmother who thinks that pitting the boys against each other gives them a “competitive edge” . Jun can’t get angry with his parents or his grandmother so all that pent up frustration from being constantly pressured to excel has to be directed somewhere...and he directs it at Kang. Same with the dog. He was an angry little boy with nowhere to direct that anger. When a child is constantly seeking approval from his parents who only dishes out “love” when that child performs to a certain level, it makes them very insecure and angry. Kang is a “threat” to Jun. So I don’t think he actually wants to dislike Kang. It’s just that every time Kang surfaces, Jun feels horribly insecure and lashes out to prove his worth. So I am waiting for him to have an awakening. -

Hmm...isn’t Cho SeungWoo in Sisyphus The Myth with Park Shin Hye too? How will that affect the filming schedule? But that one has no confirmed air date yet, so he’ll probably do SF2 first?

After watching the 2 episodes, I think MS-CY-LK triangle was in 2013. And then after summer 2018 onwards the triangle will be between LK-CY-LJ.
It might be that MS knows or suspected the reason on why CY left for Greece and that as his last act of love for his bff LK, he told LK that he wants CY’s dumpling stew knowing that LK will go to Greece to look for CY personally.
He knows that LK will be all alone once he died so he sent him to CY because he’s aware or suspected that LK is the one that CY loves all along.
That would fit with his personality thus far. He’s always been the supportive friend for Kang.-

Kang appears to me to have..amnesia??
See I am not so sure about this. He seemed fine around his friend? He doesn’t remember her as the little girl at his mother’s restaurant. She made that link herself because she went back to look for him and found out his name. He knows nothing about her as the little girl...no name. She looks familiar because he met her back at the hospital. But he’s a doctor, and it’s not like she’s one of his patients (she didn’t have neurological problems that he had to perform surgery on) and their meeting at the hospital was brief. Doctors are always tired and they meet lots of people fleetingly so he probably hasn’t made any of those links yet unlike her?But yes I agree, she left because she had residual feelings for Kang.

Ahahah I like the bit where she told Min Seong that she's unattractive 'cause of her belly fat
Yeah that was my fav line from her.. I mean...there’s a saying that goes, “never trust a skinny cook”? More power to her for admitting to it. She’s a real woman.
QuoteX'mas or not, Cha Young should've told him.. It'd only cause misunderstandings after.
I think she was working towards it and she would’ve said it eventually had it not been for Kang breaking her reverie. She was just stunned that he had “come back to life”. And I believe she did tell him before she packed up and went to Greece? Or was I mistaken? That’s why Kang was aghast when MS said he wanted to eat her dumplings? He was mad that she left MS after presumably saying “yes” that night to MS’s advances.-

@nrlleeI like LDW back then in old drama The Partner, before he turn into a guy who never see sunshine for whole year
He seriously need to go beach , lie there and got some sun tan!
I agree. And he’s always so gaunt. He looks positively anorexic. The man needs to eat and get some sun to get some colour on his face. He looks ill. When he showed up in stills as a Dentist in Strangers From Hell I thought he looked the part. As a doctor running around in Life, I thought he looked sicker than some of the patients which isn’t great.

”He definitely was in my suspects list! God I was suspicious of everybody on the show!
”
Human rights lawyer was my top suspect (because he kept popping up right through the drama). The other lawyer with the tattoo was kinda left field. Especially when they didn’t reveal the whole backstory with the kid till so much later.

I don't think so, Cha Young did hug him so he wasn't coercing, its just Cha Young took a baby step toward him and Kang showed up.....bad, bad timing......I think Min Sung still is in love with her.
Did she? She merely came out, put gloves on his hands. She made no moves to hug him. He hugged her? And when he did, she didn’t exactly return in kind? Her hands were still rigid on her side. And then he mentioned seeing someone watching them holding a bunch of flowers.So in my mind she never said yes. She didn’t outright refuse him. But she gave him lots of excuses NOT to go out with her. I think in her mind she was swayed but still unconvinced. And then when Kang showed up it made it even worse because MS just took the fact that she didn’t say “No” as silent assent and announced to Kang that she was now his gf.
QuoteStill I find him sort of presumptuous for declaring outright that Cha Young was his woman when she practically rejected him countless times.
yeah. I think he was so infatuated with her that the fact that she didn’t rebuff him straight up sent him delirious with joy...and with all that Christmas goodwill floating around, he convinced himself that she had come around this time. Christmas does that to you.-

oh if SF2 is gonna be shown in Feb 2020...how’s he gonna juggle this?
That was my first thought? I thought it was a big no-no to do 2 running dramas at the same time? I mean what about the promos? SF2 he’s not main though so maybe that can be managed. Frankly I would rather see him in the main role in 365...at least he’s hopefully more “likeable”. His character in SF2 is slimy at best, cowardly at worst. He nearly killed his colleague? Strangled her? I was sorta incredulous that she would just let that slide and act normal in front of him again at work. Only in KDrama...-

I must be in the mood for Makjang...it’s an easy watch, not too taxing on the brain...and there’s a lot of nice food involved.
Actually it’s quite gratifying watching HJM eat cake, chocolate and look like she’s really enjoying it. There are so few dramas where I have watched actresses eat like normal people. There’s been a few time jumps already which sort of surprised me. I am staying for a bit.
644 (I think)
EDIT - btw does anyone think Lee DongWook is like a real life vampire? I am watching Life now and of all the characters, his is the one I can’t relate with the most. I wish he wasn’t so gaunt. It makes him look even more vampire like.

Also by the time that came, Crash landing on you still hasnt finished yet ( they finish on 2nd february ) so if Forest season 2 Replace crash landing on you then they will be premiere on 8th of february.
Didn’t baseball stuff up all the drama scheduling? I recall a lot were pushed back because normal screening time was interrupted by sport. So it could be a projected date which isn’t set in stone and it might be give or take a few weeks later.-

O
. They totally copied Love Actually in that scene where MinSeong used the tablet to express his feelings to ChaYoung. But it was still sweet. I am slightly surprised by the rapid pace of this drama...Lots of time jumps all within 2 episodes.
. The acting is good though. I like the characters. And the scenes in Greece is just gorgeous. I actually find it quite satisfying to see an actress eat indulgent food. . Most of them are rake thin and hardly eat anything. There’s something very liberating to see CY eating chocolate, cake and other delicacies. And she talks about her “belly fat” when she was trying to stave off MinSeong’s advances. Seriously though, her assent to being his gf (?) was presumed? I never actually heard her say, “yes”? It was all implied because she didn’t give him an outright, “no”?

He’s not my oppa anymore.
He fell off the top of the list due to missteps... I still will watch him but he was booted off the top by Do KyungSoo .
Currently started Chocolate. It’s pretty good. Only problem is...it should come with the warning NOT to watch on an empty stomach...the cooking and baking just makes me hungry

I am a bit confused? The original character chart is this
There was no love line between Lee Jun and Cha Young? It’s Kang’s friend (?) who is in love with her?
But the one @andra3 posted (see below) says there is? Maybe they changed it? I haven’t watched Ep2 yet. Will have to do so tonight.

True. I also hope he gains his memory half way through and not at the end of the drama because that would suck
.
Although, if the amnesia carries through right to the end, and he falls in love with her regardless, wouldn’t it be lovely as well? They would start off on a clean slate and fall in love with the person presented before them and not some figment of their nostalgia? It would be grounded in reality and not just memory? Actually I would much prefer that. Humans tend to have a nasty habit of romanticising “what could bes”...that old flame, that first love...forgetting that the person in front of them could be vastly different from the person they remember.It is brutally apparent that Kang is not cut out to be a Doctor, especially not a neurosurgeon. Let’s hope he goes back to doing what he loves doing - cooking.

Lee Kyu Hyung. In fact I loved him in Life as well . He & Lee Dong Wook are brothers. Did he have a good role in Ji Sung’s drama ?
he played a prosecutor. He was out to get JiSung for “aiding” a patient end his life. His character had a terminal illness too though...so it was personal.
That drama brought up good issues but somehow it just never quite delivered the punch required at the end. It was well received, mainly because of JiSung and Lee SeYoung but it just seemed to skirt around the issue and touch on it but never really probed far enough.
Yes to LIYE. The characters sing.

Looking forward to S2 But I will miss Yoo Jae Myung . What an actor .
Yeah. Saw that coming...swan dive from construction site. I felt sorry for him. He took one bad step and never recovered. Slippery slope down and out. EunSoo (SHS’s character) was cringey because of her crush. I tried really hard to imagine that she did what she did solely to get her father’s name cleared (and how she related to SiMok was totally above board) but she was just making it far too obvious that she was crushing on him. So that sort of put me off her character altogether. I went to the thread and read a bit and I can see why you said what you said about her fans being dissatisfied about her untimely exit.S2 should be good. I may watch Life (same writer yeah?). She writes well.

for the longest time always thought that weightlifting & strong woman is the same drama 
whoops
and a grandmother who thinks that pitting the boys against each other gives them a “competitive edge” 
. The acting is good though. I like the characters. And the scenes in Greece is just gorgeous. I actually find it quite satisfying to see an actress eat indulgent food.

yeah I am trying to figure that out too? Is it revenge (he wants to take them down before he leaves)? Or is it because he needs to earn enough capital so he can walk away and start a restaurant of his own? Did I miss something?
