Loved the preview! It might be so cliche of me but I love that Joonyoung's going to do the pursuing now while Songah's guarding her heart. Thank goodnesss there's another episode tomorrow. I kept crying throughout this episode.
We're definitely getting plenty of confessions tomorrow, so this week's eps are all about confessions and revelations I guess.

Wow. I was really surprised with this episode. The parents really came through. I thought the grandma and the dad were uncaring, but grandma especially loves the kids. I love the part about the wounds you give lasting longer than the wounds you receive by JK's dad. I guess the show's really pointing out that sometimes a relationship starts taking on a lot of strain and without properly resolving those issues, we tend to make the hurt deeper (even just when we think negatively about the other person) and so it progresses to something none of the parties planned for. I cried when Songah was having that drink with her dad. That dad is awesome. I also love Hyeonho hugging his mom for comfort. I love Hyeonho's acting, I felt so sad for him. Jungkyung admitted it was a lie but he said what does it matter now, he understood why she said it. Then he admitted that he wanted to be a professor so that he could stay with her and that she wouldn't be embarrassed. I feel a tiny bit okay seeing how Jungkyung is hurting because of her actions too. She isn't straight up villainous, and I hope she changes her ways soon enough. Honestly, Hyeonho seems good for her. Even when she was admitting her lie, she was saying it in a very intimate way. I know she doesn't deserve him right now, but if the show somehow puts them back together, I'll be fine with it. It's something that happens more often than we think in long relationships, and in many cases the relationship can mend.

In the preview, I think he denied that they were dating because his professor talked badly about Songah. How people would think she's sticking to him for the benefits, since he's a popular and talented musician. But I don't think Songah would necessarily be harmed by their dating. Sure people would gossip about her, but in the end it may actually be helpful for her. I mean, if the professor was saying "people are gonna say she's with you for the benefits" then that means there should be benefits lol. I don't know if I am explaining it well, but the negative of people knowing = gossip, the positive = whatever benefits those gossiping people think she'd get. So he could concentrate on the good things his presence could bring for her (number one is her happiness!), since they both know the gossip isn't true. I always thought his sensitivity was what made him such a great guy, too bad he unintentionally gets her hurt because of misunderstandings.
I did not expect for the gossip guy worker to give Songah some hope with his insight. Songah actually didn't say the guy always thought of her friend, she said that there was a guy and he said he wants to see her friend whenever he's sad, but once they're together he doesn't share the troubles that he had. So she says that doesn't seem like a some relationship right? The man says, it doesn't. Instead it seems like the guy truly likes her friend, that's why she always comes to his mind, etc.

Is the story between Brahms and Clara true? I am not a musical person although i do love music. Hence, I am thinking Brahms/Shrumman (sorry. I know I misspelled the second name) was a composer on the level of Beethoven and Mozart. I find this backstory of Brahms very interesting and enduring. If it is based on a true story, it is indeed a very sad one. And if this is to allude to JY, I hope he finds a Clara that will be his (SA).
It's a fictionalized version. Clara was the best musician out of the three, so like JK she was a prodigy. Schumann started learning the piano late but his hand was partially crippled when he was just 20 so that killed his chances of being a performer, he became a composer instead. The couple were like mentors or supporters of Brahms' work. Honestly, I think both men owe a lot to Clara haha, she popularized their work through her concerts.
As for the drama's use of the love triangle aspect... This is actually the part that irks me the most in the drama, when Joonyoung said the theme between the three is "unattainable love". Songah's right that it's more friendship between three people. If Brahms was in love with her, it was hardly unattained, it was more reciprocated and lengthy. I say IF he was in love because he confirmed to friends that his last love was someone else, and he also had feelings for one of the Schumann children so maybe it started off as romantic love but changed to brotherly love (that would be more like Joonyoung)... For their history though, Brahms initially formed a closer bond with Clara because he was visiting Schumann in the asylum, in part on her behalf because she wasn't allowed to go. Schumann wasn't a big hindrance because he wasn't in a proper state of mind (he didn't even see or communicate with Clara then) and he died less than 2 years after. So Clara and Brahms were free to remarry but they didn't by choice. They did stay close - never married anyone else, spent their summers together, wrote tons of "love letters" - until their deaths. I think Clara was married less than 20 years to Schumann, she was close to Brahms more than double that time. After Clara died, Brahms died soon after.

Oh I also noticed in the MV for Chen's Your Moonlight OST that they showed a lot of parallel scenes between Joonyoung-Jungkyung and Joonyoung-Songah. But all the scenes for JJ happened when they were kids, while for JS they're happening now.

Hi, I'm new here!
Just wanted to weigh in on the 4 episodes.
The love line's progressing faster than I expected. I love how you'd expect two introverted people who have both been in one-sided loves (where they kept quiet about their feelings for the sake of their friends) to be less vocal about how they are feeling. But because they connect, they just get each other, they're much more open with each other than they are with their best friends. This shows that deep down they know that this person will understand their feelings without judgment. There were a lot of moments where I went "they say Joonyoung's not comfortable with words, but he's such a sweet-talker with Songah!" But it's the sincere kind of sweet - when he opened up about about his childhood, the answers to the interview (that he couldn't honestly say to the HS kids but could say to Songah), and thinking he'd be happy if he were with her, and he wanted to see her. He's a keeper! All the little things he's done for her are wonderful. I've personally never met a guy who's that gentlemanly and sensitive to feelings haha.
I don't think he really loves JK now, I think it's like he said in an earlier episode, he's confused about whether his feelings are romantic love, sympathy, etc. There's also that difficulty of letting go of what you considered your first love when it hasn't been given a chance. You keep thinking what if... But now he's experiencing happy moments with someone else, so he's learning that a new love is possible. I also find the initial awkwardness between Songah and Joonyoung telling. It's because they're aware of each other as man and woman, for me it's attraction simmering below the surface. But because they have to work together professionally, it's not easy to let it out and flirt a bit. But now that they're friends and getting a lot closer, we'll see it more yeay!
As for Minseong and Dongyoon. I think the scene of Minseong crying to Songah about Dongyoon is ironic (maybe on purpose?)... She hates on Dongyoon for not being aware of her feelings and treating their night as a simple mistake, but she herself was not able to catch on that her friend had feelings for the guy for years. I mean, Joonyoung caught on after seeing them together like 2 times? Just goes to show, we can be very good at hiding things from those closest to us... or that those close to us can sometimes ignore things they don't want to see about us. For the situation between MS and DY, I think they both share blame. Minseong knew she had feelings for him and she also knew that he did not share the same feelings, which is why she was asking Songah to not mention it to Dongyoon. They got drunk and did the deed together. To him, it was just a mistake, he wasn't aware of her feelings. To her, she likes him so she expected something else... Maybe that they could start dating again? Because if something happened between them, then he might like her right? Even though it happened when they were super drunk?... So she got disappointed by the opposite response... but that's the risk you take when you aren't aboveboard/straightforward about your feelings and then you take risks. If she didn't have feelings for him, they'd BOTH have the same reaction and none of them would mind. It would just be an embarrassing mistake. I wonder why there's a preview scene showing another "clearing things up" talk between them... I would have thought the day Joonyoung saw them, they would have had that talk already. Wonder what they talked about then...
Lastly, I love all the OSTs. Punch, Chen, and then when I heard Taeyeon's happier song. Love.

Hmm. I’m just going to imagine that there’s a time jump where JH’s parents have retired or died (sorry but it will happen in the future, right?) and he voluntarily moves to SK. Aren’t his parents the only ties greater than seri that are keeping him there? He gave up his military career already and his current one was probably thought of so he could meet seri in switzerland. Of course, it’s sad thinking he can’t see the ducklings... but seri... or else, i’ll think of a time jump where NK begins opening its borders and allowing its citizens to go abroad in this lifetime.

The abandonment of a child when the b mother pursues a new life with a new husband seems to be a common trope in k dramas...
Yeap. This is the theory I am supporting too. Often, the new husband is portrayed as unwilling to be a second father to a child from another man. I just can't remember the drama dang, but it was so similar. Ah! I think it was The Rose of Sharon Has Bloomed with Do Ji Han and Im Soo Hyang. Do Ji Han's mom left them to be the mistress to a rich man and the stepmom to his kids. Then, decades after she wanted to be in their lives again and started using her wealthy status now to get back in their good graces. Someone commented that a mom who willingly abandoned his son wouldn't look sad while watching the mother and child... but they often are, even when they go through the legal process of getting a child adopted by another couple, birth mothers often find themselves wanting to know their child or have some kind of relationship with them when initially they did not want to have one. We have a lot of western movies that show this too.
So my guess is that they all were simply neighbors. DM had a brother that died. Ryan's mom is SiAn's mom who was a single parent and artist who abandoned him and continued her life and had a family of her own. When she had SiAn, that's probably the time when she felt the most regretful about abandoning her first child. Treating one child better than another often gets to your conscience. I think if they got separated by accident, she would have found him sooner. I think ShiAn knows he has a brother (kids find these things out all the time, lol parents think they're great at discretion - I myself know a lot about my parents that they don't think I know). I don't think this drama will go through too much angst at all, seems out of character.

I wonder who gave the idea to DM that no man wud falls for a hardcore fangirl?
I think this is just something that a hardcore fangirl, especially an older one, feels because of the ridicule/jokes you hear from people nearby. Like the mom thinks it's way past the time she gave that up, EG also ridicules it in his own way, the TV docu obv makes it into something scandalous (fans of idol groups are called basooni and it's an insulting term I think), her old boss also made it clear in the interview when she didn't hire the other one because she was a fan girl. So everyone around her has contributed to the idea in one way or another. Sure there are people who are accepting, but isn't it always the case that a sprinkle of negative makes a bit more of a splash in one's unconscious compared to the good things? It's a survival instinct to prepare for the worst.
I'm also a big kpop fan and have been since before my 20s (I'm 28 now)... but no one in my work, graduate program, and only a very few friends are aware of this. Why? Well, because people think it's ridiculous when someone is so passionate about a stranger and before you can even share this trait of yours you already hear a joke about the whole thing in a general sense. I'm quite good at my job and my graduate studies, people tend to think I'm very serious, and whenever they find out that I like kpop or even just when I mention watching a local soap opera, they say "oh that's so surprising! I thought you were the type who didn't waste time on dramas." And it truly feels as if there was judgment passed. My family knows that I'm a fangirl but I certainly do not watch the vids in front of them because they can sometimes say mean things without thinking (and the attachment is higher so if they say "this guy you are watching is ugly" it kind of hurts more than when I say "that actor in this show you are watching is so wooden"). But on my end, I really don't get why it's less acceptable than watching local daily soap operas or a series on Netflix.

Kind of agree on Da In's styling. I saw this actress in The Liar and His Lover but I had to think about whether it was her because she looks a lot bigger in this one... I think... maybe they're trying to make her look older? She's 24 in real life I think. In that drama, well she was very green there too.

I also like the fact that the Writer has manage to resolved most issues in the most uncomplicated manner. I was worried that the issues might get to tangled up to the point we will be frustrated but I was surprised how "simple" the solution was for this drama.
I also like that things get wrapped up without high drama and maturely. It's simple but it keeps things more interesting for me than say how Touch Your Heart did. That one seemed to lose steam because the conflict got nipped quickly, but this one is even more slice of life but it touches your heartstrings so much because it's a kind of love and relationship that everyone wants to have.

When I am not gushing over the OTP, I am enamoured with Geon Woo and his mushroom hair and his spot-on comedic timing. When will Ryan Gold meet Geon Woo (he who says the darndest things)?
Gosh I always forget to comment about this because so many other squeal-worthy stuff suddenly happens... but Gunwoo is the most adorable child actor I have ever seen haha. And he is so talented, he sings, he dances, he drops to the floor hahaha

No preview?! I take it back. I don't think the other one in the group of 4 kids playing is ShiAn. ShiAn is around 10-12 yrs younger than them right? So who's the other boy? hmm... But yeah everything's just been revealed as we've thought. Maybe it's the semi-common trope of a single mom abandoning children from a first marriage when she meets someone new and plans to marry. There's another drama with such a premise right? I can't remember right now what the title is...

DM comforts Ryan again. Ryan holds DM's hand. he put his head on DM's shoulder. the episode ends here.
no next episode preview
ShiAn said don't be surprised when she sees his home. She asks why. He says it's because he's got some paintings, and they're her paintings as Lee Seol.

Ahaha Ryan plays so dirty! Unbuttoning his shirt in front of Deokmi while she's trying to say something...Ryan please do that in front of me too!
I must say, Ryan is always gorgeous but he's a whole lot more gorgeous when he's staring at Deokmi and not at a Lee Sol painting. Too much of painting-staring in this one. I love that Deokmi is so affectionate with Ryan in this episode. More of that please! (Oh, and @fangirldeokjil94, this was the scene you saw! )
Ryan trying to tempt her because she said the fan code is that you have to be happy with just seeing someone from afar. No touching hahaha. She gave up that rule after he took off the watch. I love how she knew exactly what he was doing and was a bit sulky.

I can't tell Ryan's reaction to her room lol. But now she's telling stories about how she got everything and they're being happy and cute. Think Ryan is critiquing SA's photos lol. Ryan is really the best guy being so sweet about it all!!
Oh no the crying scene is coming up!! It's night time and Ryan is dreaming about his mom dropping him off at the orphanage I guess and baby Ryan is crying and adult Ryan wakes up crying. My heart!!
Ahahaha actually he was displeased because he thought her fanart was just things like caricatures (simple stuff) not full blown artworks that show how passionate and affectionate she is towards Shi An.
By the way, when DM's mom first found out they were dating she tried to say that she was the fangirl but because her husband hated it she kept it in DM's house hahahaha how funny. I love DM and her mom's relationship. I wonder how you end up with such a loving relationship even as an adult... I've never had that with my mom... we're more a ball of awkwardness...

Wow when he was about to leave after saying that he's going home now that he's seen her face and recharged... I don't think I've ever watched a drama and started chanting "RAMEN RAMEN RAMEN" (as in ask him to stay over for ramen) before haha. This was such a great episode that it felt so short. They are such a great couple. It's one of those shows that will make it hard for single people to date because you want a great relationship like this one. Felt bad about SeonJoo but I think it's right that they talk about why the husband just didn't open up and share what he needed with her. As for EunGi, he was crushed not just because they were dating but because he was holding on to the thought that he was the one who could accept DeokMi as she is, but then Ryan came and showed that he also accepts her.
So it's confirmed that Lee Seol is his mom. I see tomorrow we're getting his real name (what DM called him at the end of the preview) and I think that place they visited was the orphanage he was left at. I really like Hyo Jin now. She seems to just want love and comfort but her mom sets her own standards for acceptance...

Haha when she's showing off her fangirl stuff. I love it. It's like after feeling ashamed about it for a long time she's finally had freedom to be herself with someone else who isn't a co-fan.

And Ryan remains to be the perfect boyfriend! He gets jealous but is never possessive. He's straightforward with his apologies, doesn't let pride get in the way of what's important, and very understanding. I love how he handled the situation by keeping cool and pointing out that her being the fansite master was something that DM was keeping a secret and that she could have also told him about her identity once they were in a relationship. It was a dilemma for the both of them. She didn't want it known so when they were just colleagues it was definitely right that he respect that and not make her uncomfortable with his knowledge, once they were in a relationship it would be very tricky for both of them to confess (his knowledge, her identity). Nicely done for this show. I love how he said it didn't make him dislike her.

In the preview he said something like "i want deokmi to fall deeply for me now" something like that. He meant it in a way that meant he was replacing her idol haha. Oh or maybe it was the other way around, can't remember. Maybe he meant he wanted to fall into DeokMi

OMG did DM really think Ryan cant see her....(*forehead slap)
No she knew he could see her. That's why Eun Gi was saying that Deok Mi doesn't want Ryan to see her in her current state. He said she didn't wash or something... but that makes it worse for me lol. You're using another guy as a shield and the excuse he's being given is just that you don't want to be seen that way... The boyfriend would feel so mad not just because it's immature, but also because that means you trust this other guy more and you're more comfortable showing him your unmade up state...
Tbh, if I were Deok Mi, I would not be mad at Ryan... I would be happy that he knows and it didn't mean anything bad to him. It was her secret, he wouldn't have come out with it and it wasn't his place to reveal that he knew since she obviously didn't want it known. One of the reasons I think this will be easily resolved is because Deok Mi will remember all the times Ryan has looked out for her while she was on Sinagilnim duty and all the times he's given her an excuse to see Shian. This boyfriend is a good guy.

Don't worry. If you watch carefully they resolve the issue from today on the same day with that end of the preview where he's opening some buttons. I think his crying has to do with Lee Sol, the painter.

Preview oh I don't even know. Face off between Ryan and DM that could turn sexy. More EG and DI getting in the way! Someone was crying in bed but not sure who it was, SJ or DM ? Need to see again. It looks like any angst with Ryan and DM will be "light" angst but wish we could get rid of DI and EG as second leads. It's really pointless since we know they won't end up together ....
Ryan was crying in bed. I'm guessing he recovers some of his memories about his mom. I think EG and DI will end up together hahahaha (although I hope not). I don't really like them much at this moment...
Gunwoo is SO adorable! And I never got to watch what the husband got in trouble for. Did he make a docu about sasaeng fans and called them/the fan page a sasaeng?

@Jillia yes I noticed it too. I took it out of my comment because I saw your translation already said it.
If that's not going to be a confession I'll be so sad. How can you stick to her like that, obv asking for attention like a puppy, and echo her words (that carry her feelings), and then not tell her that her feelings are reciprocated? But I noticed that she's wearing the same clothes as when she talked to Dongyoon, and she was crying. I hope that has nothing to do with the main couple. I just want a happier episode. Minseong though... I don't know why it isn't obvious to her that he's not really into her?... They dated for a month(?), then something happened when they were drunk, then she confessed, and he rejected her. If I were in such a situation I would think he doesn't like me that way or even that there's someone else in the picture.
