[razledgoose]

@dramaninja we are all waiting since we dont exactly know what's  going to happen... unless you are good friends with the writer or you have some unforseen foresight to know ahead of everybody that the outcome is the same as STIR

May be i am trying to console myself lol but anyway if (only if) ending is bad with them not getting back together then what was the whole point of jiho-jung in falling in love,them trying to fight together for their happiness, acceptance of eunwoo,showing there is nothing wrong with jiho being a single dad and now  we have moms consoling each other(i am guessing by clips).Hoping for best.

 

P.s  This drama may appear slow paced and boring for few people but "Typical" its far  away from that .The reality in this show just hits you hard make you feel frustrated cause this kind of issues take place in REAL LIFE "Unoriginal" there are only few kdramas(in marriage contract we have seen single mother) which has shown how its difficult for people with flaw to survive in society as young ju said - They are the perfect target for people to gossip.Anyway opinions are welcomed here cause each have their perspective of seeing things.

I agree with you. OSN has surpassed template if kdrama in all quarters - Story, writing, acting, addressing subtle social issues, screenplay, romance etc, etc.

I think the topic of EU's mother is super necessary to the plot. So far JH has been very understanding, even with JI going back and forth and even suggesting her to be considerate of her ex. The story would have been incomplete if we did not see JH grappling with his difficult past, and how it has affected his son, (he has never seen his mom) and to live in fear that she might come back one day and stake her claim. This must be the nightmare that JH must have lived everyday. He is keenly aware of his situation even from the beginning, therefore not even dating anyone and avoiding feeling anything for JI in the onset. I hope the next episodes helps JI understand the underlying fear that JH lives with everyday and behind this kind person, there is a past that will always lurk. This is their final hurdle in this 16 episode show and with only two episodes left it would be good to see the writer address this. Angsty or not, I am in. Bring it on last week of OSN! 

Bang On! Thanku for mentioning this

This is where I get accused of not having a sense of humor . . . whatever

 

I don't speak Korean so I don't fully know what is going one, but . . . 

 

Whenever I see actors working out physical stuff between themselves I just think how unprofessional it is.

 

That scene of JH practicing picking up JI looks cute until you think he has no idea what he's doing and as a result to hurt himself or hurt the other actor. 

 

And this:

 

Han Jimin said, "Come here fast, I'm embarrassed," in which Jung Haein replied, "Why are you embarrassed? I'm not embarrassed at all." 

 

The director then caused laughter on the set with his comment, "Why are you embarrassed? It's a blessing (to be able to shoot a bed scene with Jung Haein)"

 

That is never an appropriate  response.

The women in this show are *not typical k drama ladies* they are neither totally whitewashed nor evil.Each of them has flaws but they always comes out as strong and the happiness that i feel  when they root for each other I really appreciate the writer for showing us this side.

[Real_noona]

One more point before going to bed, loved the silent conversation between the two moms. I think it worked out better for JI's mom to overhear JH's mom's concerns instead of meeting JH at the pharmacy - awkward because it's his workplace and surprise because he did not expect to see her there. To hear about him from his mom was such a great plot writing ...I am impressed how this show uses characters, all the minor ones to make a point.

Previews can be misleadings too, so hang on everyone.

 

I'm not giving up.  I believe that the ending will be happy.  It just has to be.  The writer has crafted the script so beautifully, as though she is making up for all of the sins of SITR.  Certainly this show makes me forgive her.

 

But I can't do angst, especially with a drama that is as good as this one because I get so attached to the story and the characters.  It's just spoilers for me until next Thursday--this is my version of common sense.  When you know you're susceptible, it's wise to pay attention to that so that the rest of life can continue without undue interruption.

 

With two of my favorite dramas, (spoiler tagging in case this is too Off Topic)

Spoiler

I quit watching Just Between Lovers somewhere around episode 9.  Worse, I quit watching Come Here and Hug Me after only episode 2!  But I never left those dramas and I kept up with spoilers, knowing that I would watch when the Drama Drama was done.

 

Now, I have since watched and re-watched both several times.  They are absolutely the best dramas I've ever seen, and I have watched a raft-load of dramas.  But I could NOT watch them unspoiled and I absolutely had to wait until they were completed. 

 

The fact that I had to leave them is actually evidence of how very good they are because I was really feeling the atmosphere both of them projected.  And I think they resonated with me especially since the characters also suffer from trauma.  Maybe that's why I think JI and JH also touch a cord--they have been harmed by life but they are healing with one another.

 

 

editing.....just still thinking about this and wanted to add one thing: this is not the only drama I'm watching.  I'm also watching Angel Last Mission and Search WWW, as well as several JDoramas.  While I am enjoying all of them, I am merely entertained by the other shows and I don't turn away because they aren't all that meaningful to me.  It's only when something actually matters that it hurts.  One Spring Night matters.

@hushhh  What I like about this Korean drama is how it is embracing differences in perspectives, difference in opinions,  learning societal issues and either accepting it or not:  issues such as marital rape, marital abuse, single dad, break ups, dating , etc.  It forces very "conservative" countries such like Korea ... or maybe yours to start learning different perspectives and this  maybe an opportunity to learn and embrace other societal demands and issues.

Hi,

 

I can't respond to the post because I'm not sure what this is response to, if anything.

But I'm not sure Korean drama is embracing of different societal perspective, per se, but like artist everywhere kdramas examine/interrogate their own societal norms and expectation and how those norms/restriction affect individuals.

 

I think forums responding to kdramas tend to be more embracing of/curious about difference in perspective. That's what I like about these forum it allows me to engage with different perspectives in what I hope is a respectful way.

 

BTW while I consider myself a centrist, most people in North America where I live would see me as liberal or progressive.  I just see myself as someone who believes all human being as deserving the rights.

I think you misunderstood I was not talking about the whole drama!  I thought that was obvious.

 

I mean yall can disagree thats fine but it does not mean that I have to like these late game  setups dramas tend to break for.

@hushhhcomment was for you

I think they still haven't broken up (there is no mention in the preview)yet yes there are issues arising but may be they will try to overcome it and give each other space and time to think over it so rather than assuming I would wait and see.

Thanku for clearing it.

 

P.s it's okay if you don't like it as I said everyone's opinion is welcome here (+ or -)

[tok-soompi]

Hahaha!  I cant help it but finish watching with subs.. sooo sleepy now.  Anyhow JH's ex girlfriend will never appear.  She is married and even has a child for herself.

 

It is just that JH gotten too emotional and upset that he started drinking himself silly.  Then he started to confuse himself and ask whether Jeong In will leave them at the end of the episode... next week we will know what other hurtful things he might say.  I guess it probably hurt JI.  Cos he already show no confidence with the relationship...

 

Regarding the woman voice in preview, i think it is JI... i guess it is conveying the conversation to GS.  I have full faith that she will not take GS back.  I hope JH quickly compose himself and grabbed JI and never let her go.

[USAFarmgirl]

 

I too am hoping for that happy ending mainly for a little boy who could and should have it all.  A family.   And yet a part of me is thankful that this writer not only showed but highlighted the realistic struggles of falling in love and how it effects every part of ones life.  Not only between the two falling in love but all those relationships that surround them... 

 

Judgements, greed, abuse, and selfishness and pure lack of faith in ones self in being able to stand up for yourself and your happiness.   Those choices that seem so simple, that is unless its giving in and giving up.  For if one makes the wrong one no matter if it's to protect or submit  it can and will change everything and there may be no second chance...

 

Still my heart says if you were told you could fall in love and it would be magical but brief.  Playful, laughing, holding, surrendering yourself like never before and feeling that other person and them feeling and understanding the real you. 

How could one not choose to experience that...

I cried so much during the moms' scenes at a coffee shop and the bus stop. I enjoyed this episode more than I thought - not depressing like previous preview indicated.

 

I thought it was understandable that JH got drunk after he learned his ex is married and had a child now. I think he was more hurt for EW to get abandon than for himself; and betrayed for EW's mom had another kid and not bother to look for her other child.  I also think as much as JH loves JI and trust her but his self confidence never fully restore since his ex left him.

 

 

Ep 13 is the best so far for me. So many cute scenes and the moment that Jae In stood up to her sorry piece of brother in laws.  I hope we get to see how they resolve the oldest sister's story.  

 

I still don't get GS's dad at all. 

 

 

 

 

[sal2]

I did entertain the thought that JH ex was maybe married, but wow could not belive that she was and even have a kid with her now husband. can totally understand why it hurt JH for his son. But at the same time this give hope for JH and JI staying together. at the moment what JH need is for JI to show him with action that she would stay with him and EW for the long run. To me I think next episode gonna senter around this and JH healing from his past trauma. To me JI have showed her strong personality so I do think she gonna be there to drag JH out of his mind fog. I think it is important to show his struggle to as most of this drama have been about JI taking control over her life and happiness. Now it is time for JH to find his happiness and work true his trauma  

[razledgoose]

@sal2  you are right ---  i didn't even think about closing the loop between EW mom and her possibly moving on to have another family.  Its normal to feel upset upon hearing that the mother of your son is remarried and with another child...  

 

good point

[Kooslee]

"Until we die, we will remember each other!" 

 

This drama has some coolest quotes especially  from JH. I hope this is not forshadowing something.

[Latte_Anyday]

Oh my LORD. In next ep. preview, is Jeong-In having doubts NOW??!! WHY--- WTF. WTH. Yea I'm confused, she was like so proactive and then 1 mention of his ex & now she reconsiders goin' back to that cocky loser Gi-Seok!!! AAAARGGGGHHHHH--------

 

This drama is even crazier than Something in the Rain

 

Gi-Seok thinks he's in a competition LoL! "There has to be a winner" he said sheesh. I like how both the moms bonded... and Ji-Ho's "Are you goin' to leave us too....??" just breaks my heart.... 

 

Personally I much prefer Something in the Rain (yea even with all the crazy adults interfering - mostly the women) still that drama struck me more 'cause of the winning and natural chemistry between Ye-Jin & Hae-In. In here I feel like the writers tried to top by adding more angst LoL & I'm sort of not feelin' it between Ji-Ho/Jeong-In #JustSayin   

[tomo74]

I think next episode has a lot of misunderstanding;

-JI thinks that JH still thinks (has feeling) of his ex.

-Jh might say something (unintentionally) that makes JI question herself.

-GS thinks JI might come back to him (maybe he knows that JI and JH had a big fight or something).

But that's just my guess.
