    Sorry to cut your post, but this stood out to me. I even created an account just to ask a question. 

     

    I don't mean to be rude or anything. I also don't know if it's okay to talk about this issue here. I'm a huuuuuuuuuge fan of this series. However, may I ask what happened with LMK's case? It's because whenever I look it up, there are only a few details about that case. It concerns me because I'm a fan, I want to to know that I'm supporting someone who has integrity. In light of all the issues being revealed in Hollywood, I just want to make sure that I'm okay supporting him or being a fan of his work. I really love them.

     

    I've seen most of his work except for the dramas. I've seen almost all his films. I started watching his work when I became a fan of Kim Go Eun, then I watched her films including Monster. Then I became a fan of LMK because of Monster then started watching his other works, including Spellbound, Very Ordinary Couple, Hauendae, and Quick. Now, I'm loving BTIMFL. I also thought that maybe it was better for him to have done this drama instead of doing Tomorrow With You in the past. I think he suits this Se Hee character better. :) When I read the news about the case vs. him I was really shocked. Anybody know details about this? 

     

    That was the weirdest case of Celebrity Sexual Assault I have ever seen.

     

    Apparently the dude went clubbing in Busan, a poor lady there got raped the same night and told the police officers that he was the assaulter. But! Immediately after, she said she was mistaken and retracted her accusation.

     

    And I was like: "Aaaaahhhhh.........??????"

     

    You know, the Korean Enforcement can be a bit... biased... when it comes to assault and women. And usually you can tell when something really happened even though the "victim dropped the case and the accused is innocent due to 'insufficient evidence'". That's just Korean for "he assulted her but induced her to drop charges".

     

    But this case, I really caught no ball. There was no "insufficient evidence" in this case. My mouth just hung. And I'm like, "so, mistaken identity?" "or she didn't get raped?" "She forgot?" "He's lying?" "But he didn't say anything though?" "But there's no details other than that." (If there were, you can be 80% sure the lady was raped by the guy accused.) "No he said she said."

     

    It just closed so fast with no details and no follow up drama afterwards. So I just thought of it as an unfortunate 'Incident', the end. There's nothing there to indicate he assaulted anyone. And I really hope that lady just got super drunk and mistakenly assumed she got raped because I'd rather that kind of terrible thing not fall upon her.

    I know right.. i thought i'm the only one who feel the same way as you. 

    I dont like her long-term thinking about marriage even tho i know her age is not young anymore. but the reality kills her imagination. 

    Wooseok just got a decent job and he want HoRang to be patient for another year yet its for their future. Wooseok do not want Ho Rang to be sad over financial thing and want her to be a happy wife without thinking about affliction. as he said at the rooftop with See Hee that he wants to see Ho Rang smile. 

     

    Hopefully their break-up can be their self learn about how to not obtrude each other.

     

    Nice to meet you @hmmmgood <3 Finally found someone that having the same thoughts! x

     

    It's not a year but 5 whole years though. That's difficult for anyone to swallow, especially a lady who's been looking forward to it for the longest time and thought she had it when he put a ring on it. It's like he brought her to heaven and pushed her to hell.

     

    If he'd kept their side of the financial promise to put $500 aside each month, they'd have an okay sum to start with by now but he didn't and didn't even tell her.

     

    Like JiHo's mom said, it's hard enough to be happy on your own, how can you be responsible for other people's happiness as well? HE wants her to be happy. HE wants to see her smile. HE doesn't want her to be sad over finances. But the method which he'll achieve that for her may be very different from how she may want that achieved herself. WonSeok is putting too many obligations on himself. She of course wants to be happy, but that doesn't mean that she's demanding that she be happy 24/7. She might be okay and may actually prefer enduring some unhappiness for later, more important happiness. She won't be smiling 24/7, no one can. There will be times when they'll stress over finances and she may be okay with that because there are things bigger than that that she holds dearer. This break down is not solely her fault. But it's not WonSeok's fault alone either. Like JiHo said, life happens and what happens is not anybody's fault (specifically). It's timing, the people and the situation.

     

    This couple actually can marry now. Marriage isn't only for the rich. You just sign a piece of paper, that's it, and go on with your life. House? Car? Wedding? In-laws? Kids? Holidays? Responsibilites? Etc etc. The first three you don't need to have, the rest can be dealt together and overcome. Because that's married life. To have a desire is not a bad thing. But the problem is that their idea of marriage is that one fixed whole-hog too expensive one that they can't afford and they're refusing to communicate and therefore can't compromise. What kills me is that they're both running away and giving it all up without even giving compromise a try. 

     

    Like, where is the "this is what I want" but "this is only what I can do/ give" and "I'm okay if I don't have this" or even "I'm okay if we can wait for this but not this"? Where is the "can we start our marriage humble and work together upwards?" instead of just pushing the whole thing away?

     

    You know what, they should break up. Not because they see their futures as something very different, but because they CANNOT communicate. And that's just a death sentence for any marriage brought on by both sides.

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! WooTak-ie doesn't have parents who care about him!!!! They just divorced and he's like, "they probably won't say much when they know I've lost this job."

     

    But now he has a Mom (HongJoo's mom now has three sons, hee!) who'll cook for him and call him Han Lawyer. Guess WooTak's true calling was higher up the law enforcement ladder!

     

    Bye bye While You Were Sleeping. You were fun while it lasted!

    it would be so much fun if their company launches a marriage app. marriage as in the complete works. diapers. kids. soccer. the antithesis to their dating not marriage app just to expand their market access. then se hee gets to head it with won seok. lol

     

    Actually, OMG, this is a very good app. I need that app.

     

    Dating just takes love, hence it's enough for their app to just help you meet people you might like.

     

    But Marriage takes lots of planning with all the little bits taken into account for. An app where you can log in all your little expenses, events - both family and personal, little personal notes about what works with the other person and what does not and share it with the entire family so that everyone knows what their obligations are (like, "day to meet grammie. gotta be free." Oh! A family calendar!)... Anybody an app designer here? I'm ready to be a CEO. Let's have a partnership.

    Does the Myers-Briggs test result change depending on your mood? Because mine changes all the time. Sometimes I'm an INTJ, sometimes and INTP, sometimes and INFP, INFJ... it just always changes for me. The only one that stays consistent is I and N (realised that even this changes! Sometimes I'm an S.). Right now, I'm an INTP. Long ago, I used to frequently log in as an INTJ.

     

    Last time I used to be a SeHee (you'll have to fight me to pry cold hard cash out of my fingers for darts if I don't like you!), but now, I'm like a chill SeHee. LOL. I have a feeling SeHee is going to turn out that way too. His expressions are hilariously obvious - when he's caught off guard, his feelings are all written on his face - SO. CLEARLY. That, to me, just shows that he's been pushing all his emotions down. Maybe when it comes to kitty and his future family with JiHo, he'll be an INTP but with everyone else he doesn't care about, a cold hard INTJ. Hehehehe. But that's so weird. INTP and INTJs, even though differ by just one letter, think very differently and their motivators are very different too.

     

    In any case, when both types decide that someone's important to them, both profiles take it very personally, to the end. It like, all or nothing when it comes to relationships - mostly because it's hard to find people who understand us? Maybe?

    That song is "Etude of Memory" a classic and I wonder if it is a remake version by DBSK. I dont know the original singer. It's one of my favourite Korean songs.

    It's very appropriately used indeed for that scene.:blush:

     

    Etude of Memory - OST for the movie Architecture 101 that shot Suzy to blockbuster fame, sung by singer Kim DongRyul, produced by Shin HaeChul.

    Rather than trust SeHee not to be a noble idiot, I'm trusting in JiHo to stand her ground and find out why. Rather than trusting that JiHo won't misunderstand, I'm trusting in SeHee to clear the air whenever he realises she's got it wrong. I trust them both to read each others actions rather than rely only on words. And I trust them both to never truely lie (the occasional obvious passive-aggressiveness aside). I trust them both to protect their own hearts without purposely deeply hurting the other. I trust that they'll always bother to soothe whatever hurt they might have given each other without losing themselves.

     

    Every couple's got their own language. Some like things loud. Some acknowledge quietly. Some talk it out all the time. Some reflect more. Some just get it. Some take more. Some accept less. Some take equally and give equally. The best couples are not those who demand equality all the time though, but those who accept that sometimes one partner's needs is a greater priority... but not all the time.

     

    I trust these two to find their own language. That's it.

     

    These three episodes, SeHee's been moving very fast. But I'd like to think that it's because he now feels more couragous as JiHo showed that she'll catch him if he falls emotionally. She showed him that he's stronger than he thought he could be and she won't die because of a bit of hurt. Do whatever he wants, because she's not gonna die, not gonna break apart just like that, no sirree!

     

    It's not that he never had it in him. It's just that he had it under padlock and she's the key that unlocks it all out of him and the feels and desire are all bursting out now.

    Mostly i do agree with your comments. I would add that many things can be sexual or attract desire. It is not for no reason that in many countries/religion women have or had to cover their hair to be less attractive. Depending on places or time periods, there always has been talks on how a women should properly dress to address mens' desires/pulsions. In some countries flashing a bit of richard simmons is more illegal that carrying a weapon. Indeed, perception can also depend on the country you live in. I have seen women without bras and usually people do not give richard simmons about it. Jane Birkin who lives here is someone known to have worn clothes without bras and that has not impacted how respectful she is. Frankly, French people do not care...

    Whether it comes from my country of origin or my personality, I just do not get the fuss and the insults that a woman can get because she does not wear a bra and i do not consider womens' breasts more sexually arousing than mens' ones. 

     

    Anyway, that's not the topic of this thread so to come back to the drama (while putting some logic with above comments), I am curious on how conservative the writer is going to be. Maybe for the sake of Wonderbra, the conclusion will be that nowadays there are bras so amazing that even tiny breasts can't live without them!

     

    Hm... for the sake of this show, bras are uncomfortable things. They are for SuJi because her chest is different compared to others and that makes bras uncomfortable for her (something about the armpits, I forgot what she said). And the point made at the tailor's this episode is that everyone's chest is different. But not many people know about that, thinking that just because the size and width fits, the bra is perfect for the individual. It's not. It's like clothes or shoes... there are mass-made ones, but the best ones are those tailored.

     

    But fixing a bra costs a damn $250. What is this travesty. 

     

    The tailor-lady knows a lot about bras and lingerie fitting, but she has no business sense at all nor is she interested in that. JiHo suggested that SuJi become CEO of a bra-tailoring business then. Since whenever she talks about being a CEO, her eyes sparkle. But SuJi apparently has people depending on her - her job is not just hers. Hmm.

    It's so funny how SeHee's the one who gives WonSeok the clearest answers regarding marriage - when he's the one in a fake marriage (that's slowly becoming real, heh). Because he takes emotions out of the question and sees it logically for what it is, everything is easily black and white and the consequences are easily obviously arrived at because the variables... are taken away. With things so straightforward, it's easy for an engineer like WonSeok to solve and decide what he must do.

     

    It's like SeHee is making it his mission to dislocate my jaw all this week, what with the kiss yesterday and then the invitation to sleep together today that totally came out of the left field. I agree that he probably just meant sleeping on one bed, side by side, and nothing like SuJi's version (that girl is a fox-rabbit, lol), but even then, for a guy who planned on never getting married, never loving again and dying alone in his own house, that's a huge thing.

     

    SeHee overthinks a lot. And he's been a lonely guy who couldn't rely and refused to rely on anyone. It's kind of saddening how scared he is of hurting another person, it's like it's to the extent of a trauma. And JiHo's just the antidote to that, running in, telling him that it's okay to try new things or try again, because nothing's ever exactly the same, even if you unexpectedly hurt someone a little because people are strong and becoming a shield(!) for him. She was so cool when she took that Ajae's makgeolli and growled at him not to harass her man, HAHAHA.

     

    It's like SeHee was a shell-less snail before (does that make him a slug?), always hiding under rocks and sneering at anyone else that comes close because otherwise he's too exposed. But then he found JiHo, his emotional house, and started venturing out into the world, because he has his home with him all the time where he can hide anytime if it gets too tough after all. JiHo's strong, that's why SeHee's coming out. He's ready to be selfish... because he knows she can take it? (What's a bit of passive aggressiveness, lol.)

    What did SeHee's dad do to JeongMin? Because it sounds brutal!

     

    JeongMin:

    "I've removed all my things. Except for this."

    "In front of me, don't talk about your father."

    "In front of me, don't talk about your family."

    "In front of me, don't mention 'us'."

    "Don't be happy."

    "Don't love."

     

    And SeHee was there sobbing, telling her that he'll explain to his dad.

    What happened man? What did that yangban do?!

     

    And JiHo had resorted to calling SeHee a "(19)80 Ajae." And recited for him how he was in middle school when she was in elementary, and was a "Soldier Ajae" when she was in high school. HAHAHAHA. 

     

    *Ajae = Charming Ahjusshi.

    JiHo: Ah for someone who declines so well normally, why did you... there...? ... Why?

    SeHee: So it felt like this huh, when you were at my house for the memorial rites. This kind of... disappointing feeling. (Seob-seob is a hard word to translate...)

     

    SeHee: It's good, huh, the sea. It's really been a long time.

    JiHo: Me too. (This) sea... is the first. Being with someone other than friend or family. WIth a man... looking at it. It's the first.

    SeHee: Unexpectedly, there's a lot that you haven't tried, huh, JiHo-ssi.

    JiHo: That's right. I was always busy, when I was in my 20s. So I haven't tried out a lot of things. Therefore, there's a lot that I don't know either.

    SeHee: I liked my twenties though. Looking (back) at it, this comes to mind: "The thing about a person coming, is that he/she comes with a whole life. It's easy to break... so his heart that comes is fragile too. In reality when I didn't know what it meant, it was a poem that I liked. But now that I know what it means, I can't come to like it. Once you know, there's a lot that you can't do in life. That's why, I, am envious of JiHo-ssi. Not knowing... is a good thing after all. Therefore, don't be too worried.

    JiHo: Then SeHee-ssi too. Regardless of what seas you received in the past, today, this sea is the first time you know. Even if you know everything, even if you've tried everything. That moment with that person... it's all the first after all you know. Like... our marriage. Like our kiss at the bus stop. After that moment passes, when the next day comes, (I think that) it's nobody's fault. It's just... something that happened. (?)In the middle of that, some people just let it pass and some people are like fragile.(?) That's just something that happens. Therefore, SeHee-ssi too, don't be too worried. Whatever happened yesterday, it's not that you know everything about today after all.

    WHAT?! MY JAW IS DROPPING OMG, SEHEE IS SUPER SMOOTH.

     

    Yeah, Ma SangGu is his best friend. He knew that SeHee knows that JiHo likes him (SuJi let that slip) but when prodded if SeHee likes JiHo, he changed the subject, muttering that because SeHee knew what love was, he's scared of it. And SeHee said just as much on their little talk at the beach - he envies JiHo for not knowing a lot, because then things that she doesn't know about are good things. And JiHo tells him that just because yesterday turned out like that, it doesn't mean that he knows everything about today. So don't worry. 

     

    Huh, SeHee must have melted at that. He must just have wanted someone to tell him that it's okay to let loose.

     

    SeHee's most scared of hurting someone. T_T SeHee ya...

    Title: Today's Ocean is the first.

     

    HAHAHAHAHAHA, so JiHo was super passive-aggressive this morning, so much that my own mother would be so proud... then she went out and praised herself for having the perfect poker face.

     

    SeHee: She's properly pissed this morning isn't she?

     

    There's a competitor in their circles and they're all discussing why their slogan is "dating not marriage". Turns out, it was SeHee who came up with it and WonSeok almost managed to convince everyone else to change it until SeHee announced that he's taking time off to go make kim-jang. And while they were discussing about the rival app, SeHee was praising it's "awesome" design. Pfft.

    Ok Just wondering, why did JH tell SH not to lock the door anymore??? I mean what's the intent or meaning behind that?? 

     

    "Don't guard against me so much. Trust that I won't harm you."

     

    Anyway, JiHo took SeHee locking his room door personally, thinking as though SeHee thought of her as a nefarious presence he has to be wary of. And she didn't like that, because she isn't like that.

    As for the other woman, I just realized that SH put that marriage certificate in 2005 which meant he was just 18 yo. 

    Is this first love case?

     

    SeHee is now 38. Which means that in 2005, he was 26, which is young, but... definitely not 18...

     

    Nevertheless, since he said it was enough to only love once in a lifetime, that must have been his first love.
