strongtower Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 It was downhill for me starting around ep 7-8. Good thing ep 10 happened or else I was dropping the drama. A lot has happened in Ep10. At least we got some storybits of what happened 14 yrs ago. Spoiler My share of predictions before of what happened during the rainy scene 14 yrs ago was almost accurate. Lol. Hahahah And basing from ep10's ending, it's 80% positive that ODO is HN's father. The remaining 20% is for a possibility of another dad identity who is not among the 4 male cast. WIL fighting!

herina_90 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 @strongtower I'm almost 100% positive it's DO! He finally knows! How awkward for RJ though lol. and AJ has been soooo tight lipped until her own mum never knew who HN's dad was either. I'm glad the show is giving us some backstory on how the DO-AJ relationship got so shaky - DO wasn't that attentive as a boyfriend and he didn't do much to explain himself either. I'm relieved it wasn't just because of that one scene AJ saw, because that would be super foolish. That said, I don't think AJ had the right to be so snarky to DO about AR being in his house late at night. You two aren't in any relationship now after all, although she was probably shaken learning that AR knew DO 14 years ago too, setting off yet another misunderstanding (yet part truth as it was def AR that night 14 years ago). All the little things built up, things that DO never thought was a problem but AJ was still hurt by, leading to a lack of trust.... Preview seems to indicate she tried to contact DO after that rainy night, maybe to ask about what she saw, but RJ got in the way, breaking the trust for good and leading to heartbreaks all around. On the less heavy side awww I felt bad for HN for temporarily losing her only friend but poor DC moping around thinking they might be siblings hahahaha. Actually the backstory of PD x DC has been almost as elusive as who is HN's dad story. They've been beating around the bush of telling DC for a number of eps already, so let it out alr! Maybe the next 2 eps will be their time to shine. I don't see much point with YW's scenes with his mum (she was in hospital again but the stress seemed more real this time) because AJ's already shot him down. Why does he still think there's a chance, I don't understand?? I could do with less of that side story - because I'm not sure what its meant to achieve - to progress the main. Sookhee is still hands down best side character. Her constantly hinting to HN that DC doesn't hate her was hilarious, with how many times HN still didn't get it hahahaha. Much better episode but still the beating around the bush needs to go soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodame Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 @herina_90 and @strongtower Bless you angels for the updates. YESHHHHHHH. Oh I am glad to know that it was NOT something that AJ saw but inattentive ODO. YEAH. Awww I was smelling it a mile away that DC thinking HN might be his sis. The poor guy and AJ does look like doppelganger to each other. I agree YW and his mom, so this time it REALLY is stress. Well I was right guessing she was AR boss. But though I love puppy YW, AJ never was someone who looked at you that way. No matter how cute, athletic and sweet you are, she doesn't feel that way for you. Plus her strong feelings and having HN with ODO, that definitely is a LIFELONG bond to each other due to HN. Aww AJ and ODO shaky relationship and RJ not helping matters. Yup the guilt is real on his part when he realized AJ had a kid. Yeah no wonder he thought he had a chance and then forced apart two people due to his selfishness. Sigh. I cannot wait to watch it. Considering watching it during my lunch break. LOL But appreciate you both for telling us the goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie12 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Finally some plot development. I knew RJ was not HN's dad. Finally she said it to him. Thanks to her mom, it was about time, i was getting really annoyed. (.with him) But what miss Song was going to tell the reporters? Was she bluffing? HN was eating icecubes just like ODO. Now i hope ODO is really the father. He is finally connecting the pieces. Hopefully the last 6 episodes will be worth watching like today. Damn RJ for his part in splitting the couple. YW is out of the picture, i dont know why mentioning to his mom that he is ready to be a father (unless he was speaking in general and not about HN). Clearly AJ does not feel the same way. This annoys me as well, he is being pushy and nobody is putting him back to his place. (Although if he finds someone else to love i woyld be ok) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodame Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Ok watched latest episode during LUNCH . I couldn't wait. @naori87 Dang so it was true RJ did make them NOT talk but deleting AJ's text to ODO. Despicable! We knew it was something RJ did and that is horrible. So we also guessed she saw something. So it was AR forcing herself onto ODO. Though ODO was not attentive he loved AJ. Even with AR, he never was inappropriate. The fact this episode showed a bit more why she liked him. She must have been surrounded by people who did not believe in her or encourage. Even ODO, the words of comfort saying you cannot burn the report card I know the work you put and you HAVE to show your mom. (I was ticked at the teacher judging her and not believing her. He did not even try to ask how she got it right. Cheating to get 98 is not easy and frankly how could she do it? Really bad on the teachers fault. She liked her tutor and that helped her study more because she wanted to look good to him. LOL) Glad she told clueless ODO that she likes him. She went to him and it was NOT ODO taking advantage of her but her wanting to be with him. Even ODO did say lets not be here or somewhere else. AR nixed it saying we should be in your place instead.) Poor HN losing her friend DC really not getting it that he likes her. Sook Hee is so cool and telling it like it is to both Mother and Daughter. Awww. Funny how even clueless ODO sees DC interest (maybe cause he did the same too with AJ?). I hope that PD tells the truth about his mom to DC. Get the poor boy out of his misery. The one friend and crush to leave his side due to his misinformation about his mom (due to not knowing his past. Makes it more sad how PD found him hiding in the closet. OMG poor DC.) Then telling mom to not like RJ when she doesn't have the facts straight about her birth dad. Dang mom never wanted to know HN true dad? Really? All these years? Glad HN had the talk with ODO and now he is a known entity to HN. The key word "dead" to me and how HN said my dad exists but is "dead" to us. She said that repeatedly to ODO --can you stay "dead in my heart" and then to add the distrust conversation---their chat after AR left was NOT helpful. ODO pushing back I never cheated on you and AJ saying she cannot trust him. I can understand his lack of attention and AJ liking him more later (the imbalance) definitely didn't help. Plus with AJ confirming to RJ (he is not the dad) I am glad ODO asked if he was. Come on if ODO knows HN is 14 yrs old, who else could it be? YW I love you but AJ has been clear to you she doesn't like you in that way. To continue to be wanting to be her partner and father to HN is not admirable anymore but fool hardy. Sigh. RJ must have been not feeling good to realize that he is not the dad and now he left Jennifer Song. Oh My. Three more weeks left of the drama. AJ stop pushing ODO away and just come clean. (I know then the drama would end faster). I want HN to have a dad she can rely on. I want ODO to be able to get to know HN. So all our theories about AJ feeling for ODO and him being father WERE spot on. Writer nim was not pulling any weird side stories out of no where. Hope that DC can learn of his parentage and reconcile with HN, these two crazy kids are the cutest. We see that ODO learns alot about HN and AJ thanks to every helpful HJ. I am ticked and wondering how they find out about the deleted text from AJ to ODO, I am guessing he tells ODO over AJ? (DESPICABLE sunbae. I was so right it was his guilt for his actions.) ODO --both she and him had pain being away and both loved deeply. The fact she was overcome and upset though she was getting what she wanted, of course the burden in her heart would stay. You still care and have not told the father of your child the truth. You have been living a "lie" of peace all these years. He has been upset and pining, you have been too but the reality of living and raising your lovely Hani and living with your mom doesn't allow you the luxury to dwell on the pain/lack of partner or want to date. You are everything to HN and she is everything to AJ. Just solidified more when she was drunk and got fried chicken and pizza to HN who complained she reeked of alcohol. Ok back to work but DANG DANG though predictable for some of old time Kdrama fans, I still am enjoying the ride and discourse with other fans here. Thanks for keeping me sane as now wait for next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev11O Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The misunderstanding ...13 yrs worth of agony was because of this...u got to be kidding me ...OD was definitely drunk when he was kissed by AR and that is what AJ saw.. I don't think OD remembers the kiss as he was too drunk.. AJ didn't want to confront him so she left .The problem with their so called love story is that there was no trust . A little misunderstanding was enough to break them apart .. Now I think OD and AJ are better off without each other . HN deserves some closure about her dad and OD should make it upto her for their lost time. I don't know if they are going to drag this plot for the remaining 6 episodes. RJ also caused some problems and this will probably sorted out by the next episode ...I think he deleted some important message from AJ to OD from OD's Mobile , And this caused more misunderstanding between them. OD and AJ are just victims .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennster Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I'm in the middle of watching ep 10 and so far much better than. 9, I am only annoyed at RJ and AR. And while I get her going there to confess her feelings and trying to get together with ODO I must say that RJ is a total creep! I didn't even think I could dislike the guy more. Following AJ like that, showing up at the house at this time? No, sorry, he is a pathetic creep. I haven't finished the episode yet but thanks to spoilers here (I looooove spoilers, thank you guys!) I got the idea of the episode. And I know he did something despicable, he is a horrible friend, absolutely disgusting - nevermind your own feelings, what about the feelings of your friends you tore apart like that? Why didn't you have the guts to say what you feel BEFORE? Ah, I just hope there will be some suffering for him and I really, really hope neither of them is going to forgive him. He doesn't deserve it. Either say how you feel or move on, grow a pair! Ok, rant over, sorry. I'm moving on with the episode now @herina_90 Sookhee is the best I'm shipping her with PD - they will make a dashing couple, sexy with a hint of danger Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel22 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 6 hours ago, Nodame said: @mel22 Spoilers please! For those of us who CANNOT watch it and I am at work. We are ok with recaps! i figured that ep 10 would have more "meatier" plot line movement (hopefully) based on ep 11 previews anyways. So SPOIL away. We don't have any dedicated recappers here so PLEASE share away. So sorry @Nodame. I slept soon after watching & posting. But am sure that by now, you've already satisfied your curiosity with the recaps the others posted, if not with the episode itself. Making some more wild guesses based on the preview -- I think the message RJ erased had something to do with her pregnancy, that's why ODO never found out about HN. On the other hand, AJ assumed that the message got sent and ODO just ignored it. She thus felt betrayed and abandoned. I also think YW would somehow help HN and ODO connect with each other and get closer. That's the only reason why I think the writer keeps him hanging around after getting jilted by AJ. As for Ms. Song, I really don't see her value in the drama. Anyways, however things progress next week, I wish to see HN and DC reconcile asap. They are the cutest when they're together. In the meantime, happy weekend everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatterbox22 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Thank you guys so much for all spoilers and opinions! I couldn't watch the episode earlier and I enjoyed reading your posts @Nodame @herina_90 @Dev11O @Brennster @Annie12 Now I can understand why Ae Jung was holding back all this time. From her perspective Dae O didn't love her as much as she loved him. He was treating her dismissively. I can't blame her for feeling that something wasn't right between them. I can totally understand being busy. But all he had to do is say that he was busy and it’s not like he didn’t care. Why act so suspiciously. Especially when he grabbed that book. She just wanted to hide a gift in his backpack. When she saw him with another girl, it was just too much for her. @mel22 You may be right that the message was about pregnancy. This way it makes sense why Ae Jung left and stopped trying to contract him. It looks like Dae O and Ryu Jin were her only close people on the campus and that's why she didn't know about whole mess Dae O caused. Because the only person who could tell her that was Ryu Jin. Who, as we now know, betrayed both of them. Oh my gosh, Ryu Jin, how could you do this? To your best friends. I just can't. That's horrible. As for Ha Nee and Dong Chan. Our poor girl. Her heart is broken because she thinks that her dad abandoned her and now Dong Chan is doing the same. She must feel so lonely right now. I am happy that her aunt is always there for her. Sook Hee totally rocks as a friend and as an aunt. Honestly, Jennifer Song is annoying and has obsession when it comes to Ryu Jin. Their relationship is unhealthy. You can tell that Ryu Jin feels suffocated by her actions. A Rin probably doesn't know that you can't force another person into loving you. It just doesn't work like that. I can totally see why she liked Dae O, he believed in her and cared for her, but hey girl, he had a girlfriend he loved so much. Ryu Jin and A Rin's selfishness is just on another level. I am not saying that Dae O and Ae Jung are not at fault. Because their lack of trust in each other and miscommunication didn't help at all. There is going to be a lot of heartbreak in upcoming episodes. Have a nice weekend guys and let's hope that our characters will start to heal sooner that later. I am looking forward to reading your theories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! If he had at least looked her in the eye and told her he wanted to finish this then let's go eat, I think things could have been wayyyy better. Instead he was practically ignoring her and even said she distracted him. Who wouldn't feel hurt? @Brennster totally agree!! I hope SookHee and PD get more scenes together so at least there's a chance of some of the other 3 guys getting a different happy ending! @Nodame I never realised DO knew HN was 14 yo until ep 10 and I'm still wondering why he never thought himself as a possible dad then? Did he really think AJ got together with another guy so quickly after leaving him?? AJ definitely was in the wrong too in not telling DO of her pregnancy 14 years ago, but it remains to be seen if she did try but was thwarted by that deleted text. @mel22 interesting theory of YW being there to help HN and DO connect - will he the bigger man, or will he use HN's ideas of revenge to try and get her to hate her unknown dad more? @kysy thank you for the written preview! thumb film's chief is coming back and I can imagine the movie going on hiatus with potentially Jennifer Song and YW's mum also out to make AJ's life miserable. @Dev11O hmm if DO was drunk and thats why he forgot about that kiss with AR 14 years ago, that paints him in a bad light too. How are you drinking with a girl who is still in high school alone late at night, when you have a girlfriend? kinda hope it's not that but we shall see! Think the show is trying to show how it takes 2 hands to clap in a relationship and also 2 hands to take it apart, so both AJ and DO are contributing in their own wrong ways. DO looks so broken in the preview that I hope all of them (DO-AJ-HN) get a proper heart to heart talk in the next 2 episodes to resolve all these misunderstandings. I don't know how they can still be RJ's friend after all this, but it is a k-drama, I guess it will somehow be forgiven in the last episode.

tuffygarcia Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hello! Sorry for being MIA, got really tangled up with work. I just watched Ep 10. ODO finally linked all the puzzles that led him to questioning NAJ about Hanee's father. I am now 99.9%sure ODO is the father. Another shocking revelation to me was the identity of Tan Zi Yi, the woman KPD loved from the past. So, now DC's father is not KPD? I wonder who. Could TZY be related to NAJ? And DC the sweet boy seems to be having a crush on Hanee that he ends up avoiding her, fearing they could be siblings. I agree Jennifer Song seems to be obsessed with RJ. She thinks he is indebted to her for making him the superstar he is now, but also she seems to have a one-sided love for him. I am curious on the next ep how RJ will defend NAJ against Ms Song. On the side note, I watched almost all the behind the scenes/making videos on JTBC drama YouTube channel. Although some weren't subbed, I feel happy to see the chemistry off-screen. Shy Son Ho Jun has became much closer to my forever bias Song Ji Hyo. I sincerely hope they will become and stay friends even after the drama ends. And Um Chae Young is just adorable. I especially enjoy her father-daughter scenes on-screen, and off-screen. Wednesday is 5 days away. Cheers! One more thing, Ep 10 has solidify my stance of KPD as the best among the four suitors. He took care of Dong Chan as his own son and rushed to the island fearing for her safety (while the other suitors were just trying to block each other from getting close to NAJ). His screen time is the least, but I hope next episodes we will have more KPD - NAJ moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC's biological father must have been a triad boss who also had TZY killed. Triad henchmen want DC back because he is the heir to the triad. (Sorry, too redundant. Triad. ) I am also a NAJ-KPD shipper. I find him most interesting. From the preview, it looks like they will have more interactions next episode. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Annie12 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Ok we saw a flashback of AJ being ignored by ODO, but this is her flashback, her side of the story. Maybe there is something more to his behaviour. After all after AJ dissapeared ODO was devastated. He said that this almost killed him. He liked her so hard, why did he have to act like that then. Perhaps someone told him that if he acts cool/cold around her she would like it? I refuse to accept that he was ignoring her just like that.

In my opinion, when you feel ignored or slighted in a relationship, the core problem often is not ignorance itself interpreted as "my partner is losing interest in me" but rather "miscommunication". If only she had explained to him that she feels he is losing interest in her, or not paying attention to their relationship instead of getting angry over a book or if he had been more vocal as to why he needs to work for the next few days instead of acting all mysterious- then maybe their relationship wouldn't have reached a stage where she just had to leave him. From what I see- in their age, they were probably just immature in sustaining that relationship- let's not forget they were quite young when they started. So basically the minor everyday misunderstandings (fuelled by miscommunication) leading upto the major misunderstanding on that rainy day is what caused the breakup. Hopefully their present selves know the value of keeping aside anger, distrust etc for later and just start by communicating and solving any misunderstanding.

Im trying really hard to sympathise with AJ but her behaviour makes it difficult. Again she blames ODO but she does not give any explanations or gives half explanations like in ep. 10 in his house when trying to explain to ODO what happened in the past. As a viewer i hardly understand, and i am seeing the flashback. Imagine him, he struggles to understand what she is trying to tell him. Uggg!!! That made me so mad. And also in the last scene with RJ. "No it was not you" just like that? What about nothing ever happened between us, so dont assume that. She acted like she is not involved in that situation. Anyway i am expecting the next episode just to see what she will say to RJ, Another immature character. I find it so weirdly stupid that it did not even occured to him to run DNA test. He just assume tha HN is his daughter and was ready to treat her like that. I mean that at the time they supposedly slept together AJ was with ODO. So why HN could be his daughter and not ODO's. I dont know what is going through his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
