The screenshot of RJH's passport? Where is that scene? I did not remember seeing it in ep. 13?

I became fond of Ha Ji-won and her expressive eyes after watching "Chocolate". I don't watch dramas very often, so although I have known her name for a long time, but "Chocolate" was actually my 1st drama of hers.
Hope to see her in a new drama soon.

Adding an additional comment: I found the birthday party kisses between CY&LK quite memorable. It was sudden yet casual. It did not feel lustful, in contrast, it felt healing, assuring, and protective. It characterized the deeper love shared between the two characters. Don't know the exact words to describe, but it felt different in a good way.

I thought there were quite some memorable dialogues during the last 2 episodes.
Overall, to me, this was a good drama with nuances and depth of life. It's not solely just about the two main characters and their love story. But each detail and character (whether it's small of large) serves their purpose. I remember reading a comment from someone (I apologize for not remember their username) comparing this drama to a fine wine and I share similar sentiment. There is not anything extraordinary or unexpected that you make you go "Wow" about the storyline, but its depth slowly seeps into you as the story unfolds. And by the end of the drama, you (or at least to me) go "If I can live and treat everyone around me with such depth and a good heart, I could have contributed a bit more beauty to this life".
I am not someone who likes to nitpicking every little unnecessary detail in a drama (ex: pointing out this particular character/scene is so unrealistic and whatnot). What I look for is the "bigger picture", whether I see some meaning after watching it. I'm glad this drama gave me a good feeling and that I did not waste my time at all.
PS: Watching this drama also made me fond of Ha Ji-won and her expressive/electrified eyes.

My initial impression of this drama was that I found it to be quite funny and entertaining during the first 6 episodes, but had not thought much of the storyline. But the last couple of episodes are getting quite interesting. I'm waiting patiently to see Seri returns to South Korea and getting some actions there.

I hate one thing though....why is Cha Young paying her mother's husband money....I liked that she finally let go but seconds later she was trying pay for her mother's sin....I know that she has heart of Gold but that irked me....her mother is a criminal, she should pay for her wrongdoing by going to jail...Cha Young should not step in to take responsibility here...sometimes you need to cut toxicity completely out....she should have walked away...its not her guilt nor her burden to bear...we know she is a kind heroine....writers don't need to bend over backwords to hammer that in...that was excessive..
My personal thought: Cha-Young's mother might be a criminal, but she is still CY's mother. I think the writer is putting in a "morality" issue here. No matter how wrong the parents can be (to their own children or anyone else), but children always owe their parents the responsibility of having giving birth and raised them.
So CY paying back her mother's "debt" to that husband is a way for CY to (1) help her mother lessen the crimes that she might have committed (2) also able to "payback" (being filial) to her mother, as a result.
Now, how many of us love their parents "enough" to do that in real life? I don't know.
But I see the writer's depth in putting in that detail.

I started noticing Ha Ji-won's expressive eyes very expressively during the last few recent episodes.

[I said this before, a couple weeks ago, but feel like repeating myself again, as watching the latest episodes has confirmed my initial thoughts.]
I find this drama very likable, not because it has anything special nor extraordinary, but it gives off quite a heartwarming feeling and has a subtle depth.

There is something likeable about this drama for me. It's not about the cliches or how tragic the characters/storyline can be. But I see nuances and depth in the small details.

I admire Kim Hyun-joo's gentle beauty. She ages beautifully.
The pictures below are from a magazine photoshoot she did recently I think

Welcome to this thread chinggu.
Well it's okay, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and aside from time & self-management (i'e. skincare & excercise) enhancing her looks, her flaws as she said are still there as she hadn't gone under the knife. But many like me find her getting more beautiful as time passes by.
Well, what I meant to say is rather than liking pretty-looking actors, I prefer those who exude mature-elegant vibes with superb acting. I think PSH is growing to become one like that.
An actor does not have to be extremely pretty/handsome, but they ought to have that likability factor, and with a natural acting ability, they will easily draw the viewers in.

Shinhye was very different in MOA. She effectively displayed a mature lover and motherly vibe. Highschool & college days are so over. Her voice, acting and nuances are subtle, more controlled and man, those kisses are passionately HOT!!!
She grew leaps and bounds in MoA. To top it all, I love seeing Shinhye in suspense fantasy romance, another breakout from her usual type of drama.
Yes, I feel the same way while watching MoA.

"Memories of Alhambra" has officially turned me into a Park Shin-hye's fan. I have stopped watching dramas regularly for more than a decade already and only occasionally watch a drama here and there spontaneously. MoA caught my eyes due to its broadcast with Netflix and seemed to be a heavily-invested drama. I watched a couple of PSH's dramas before (The Heirs and Doctors), but only had a neutral feeling about her.
In MoA, I thought her portrayal was quite elegant and mature, in both acting and appearance. To be honest, I've never thought PSH was "that pretty", but she has that likability factor, which draws me in. I wish she continues to grow into a mature, elegant actress with superb acting. Will continue to look forward to her future works.

My thought: The end is meant to be an uninterpreted "happy ending". Jinwoo technically was not a murderer. However, he indirectly caused the death of Mr. Cha; and thus, that was how the story lead on. This also lead to the death of the other two characters. Therefore, if the drama was to show Jin-woo having happy ending scenes with Hee-joo, I personally think that would make his character too guilt-less. For all the troubles, he was not the one to blame, yet he was also the one to blame.
By having an open-ended happy ending, the audience can interpret that Jinwoo and Hee-joo will eventually see each other again, without having to show it expressively.
About any loose-ends, it's just a drama and the main purpose is entertaining, so sometimes, we just have to let go of some minor details.
Overall, I find this drama to be very interestingly entertaining. The scenery is beautiful and the acting is superb as well. It gives a good message to those addicted gamers out there.

So I just finished watching "Miracle That We Met". Kim Hyun-joo was superb in that drama as well. While both her characters in "I Have A Lover" and "Miracle That We Met" share a similarity that they were in deep pain relating to their marriage problems, the portrayals were completely different. Do Hae-kang/Dokgo Yong-ki were more expressive while Sun Hye-jin was a lot more restraint.
Looking forward to her next drama.

I only occasionally watch dramas, but recently stumbled upon "I Have a Lover" and realized how superb of an actress Kim Hyun-joo is. I remember watching her in "Glass Slippers" and "Twinkle Twinkle" back in the days, but I was too young then. She also has a gentle kind of beauty that attracts you in a kindly way.
Wanting to watch "Miracle that we met" but feels like saving it for now, because I will miss her acting when I finish it.

Can someone tell me how's Hong Jong-hyun's (Wang Yo) acting in this drama? I know he plays an antagonist.

Park Shin Hye's acting is good, but somehow, when I look at her, I think she still looks a lot like a kid (baby-faced) when compare to other female co-stars (although Ji-won and Krystal are younger). Does anyone else have the same feeling or is it just me?
I have a baby face too although I'm quite old now LOL
She grew leaps and bounds in MoA. To top it all, I love seeing Shinhye in suspense fantasy romance, another breakout from her usual type of drama

This drama reminds me of "Memories of Alhambra" due to its fantasy, supernatural aspect. Was hard to understand in the beginning but I began to get a grip after 4th episode. Will see how the drama unfolds.
