Wow all the praises for the pilot episode... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 maybe I need to check this out... but can I stand watching YP being a jerk character? 🤔😣

Yes yes... I didn’t know he’s already married and has such adorable girl! 😃

😂 I am so glad I didn’t continue watching Nevertheless after ep.1... Agree latest thriller seems more interesting, but I still don’t think I can get into the coupling. Why can’t they just have a no-romance workplace drama?

I am excited about this drama because I love all the 6 main leads!! That’s not easy 😆

I thought about it too. But maybe the romantic scenes will not be too overwhelming, as in lots of kisses and skinship 🤔 It will be kinda awkward actually watching her drama with another guy and then she marrying a different guy in RL 😆 Let’s see how it goes...

Wow, the PS skill is crazy good! 😃 They kinda have to... since it cannot wait until after the drama, hahaa... Good timing, I thought. People will be excited and then move on to drama, instead of affecting the drama viewing experience if announced halfway through the drama.

I just saw the news as well 🎉🎉🎉

Hang in there... ep.15 is good with the title "The Color of Heaven" ~ prepare your tissues though. Ep.16 sub is already out for me, but I think I will watch it tomorrow. Enough crying for today, because I think there will be quite a bit of crying for the finale as well. I agree it gets draggy in the middle. I too think a 12-episode format will work better for the story. The whole running away arc seems unnecessary for me. I wonder what happened to that tall detective earlier on. He really is just gone from the story. I thought he was away only temporarily.... Kinda odd, or maybe something happened in RL that he had to be written out of the story...

It is indeed interesting to know that those feelings do exist and there are real people who can relate to them. I guess even in Korea many elderly viewers are able to relate and support the parents but we just don’t get to hear about it because those commenting on the internet are younger generations. I guess I now can be more forgiving of the writing then... I can never understand his reasoning. He didn’t want DD to find out and become sad/devastated because of it. But he couldn’t see that DD was already so broken and been crying so much about this matter. In order to “protect” her, he was doing exactly things that hurt her the same 🙄

I heard about TTD, so will only start it like 2 weeks from now haha... Am gonna be busy for 3 months ahead as well due to a new responsibility I took up. That’s why I am keeping the list minimal for now.

you and me the same... look at the list of what I'm currently watching... After 2 days, it will be just one drama left there

Another frustrating episode as the elders tried all their might to control their adult children's life/future. I kinda get it that it's in the Korean/Asian culture that parents still feel that they have quite a bit of say in their children's life, but the length that DD's parents go to in order to separate DD from YG is really too much! I cried along with them when they have to decide to separate I'm just glad that the secret of AK being DD's mother is known by YG at the end of the episode, and next episode by YS. It's time to grab some popcorn and enjoy the show

Trailer for Season 3

It seems that they're going to make her mother accept Gun better than YG because he showed devotion to her. Not sure which episode are you at. There is a scene where she invited him in and "interrogated" him, and seemed to be pleased with his answer. Agree that Sara probably feeling she is unworthy of Gun. I know she will be redeemed, just because she is Se Jong's mother. I can only hope the redemption be made believable and acceptable for us viewers. If only Sara's focus is on Se Jong alone, it's easier for me to accept her wanting to marry into the family. But time and time again, we were shown how hung up she is with YG, who made it so clear he doesn't love her at all, in fact despised her... She cared about his affection. I wish it's made that she doesn't care for his affection, as long as she could be with her child. I dunno, that seems easier for me to accept her "mission".

Urgh! I really hate the police team in this drama, except for the detective who was sacked, and his female team leader. So in the course of arresting a suspect, it's okay for the police to be rude and shove dying patients of the hospice? This is the second time already they're causing unrest at the hospice. And not allowing In Sook to take her medicine, just because she is being arrested? What about basic human rights? Might as well just shoot her dead there and then *rolleyes* I really am so upset with the police force.

Yeah, yeah... Maybe I forgot all the earlier angst already Should plan a rewatch.

I will just change the title of this thread. Thanks for reminding...

On a scale of 1-10, only 1... imo, lol.... @abs-oluteM? There are quite a lot of touching and heart warming scenes too...

He's really good... so natural... This is one of the other "back" acting scenes. One of my favourite scenes. PP's talk with Grandpa about death. Love his acting, and the senior actor Zhang Chen Kuang as NDY. Both are so natural!

Last call to @Tofu to watch this great drama! My closing argument ~ We both love Rattan, whereas @SilverMoonTea would not give it a chance. So we actually share quite similar taste for dramas, no? Come, come...

Yup... kinda guessed it will play a role, but the way it was used was unexpected for me. And that condition tied well to PP’s absence due to earlier health emergency. Also the eulogy NYS gave was touching and heartfelt too. Very natural and real.

See the detail they added with the plush toy... PP included his Jun Daddy in the family picture.

Yes, I appreciate seeing she warned NYS about Mark. So it’s clear whose side she is on and who she trusts more. Regarding the transfer of PP’s shares, it got me worried for a minute there, whether she was swayed or not. I am so glad she made the right decision. He was a good man. I cried too, especially when TJ was trying to hold back her tears when she found their family pictures in his room. TJ and PP wouldn’t have made it this far this well if not for him around, although he did bring his share of problems home. Hats off to her. She remained her cool awesome self. I salute her for going through the wedding and for breaking off later on. I guess like what she told TJ, that although she has her reservation about Mark, she still want to marry him. Wayne Wang is charming, but I have no pity and compassion for Mark. He was too absorbed in his revenge that he used people and even threw away his chance for happiness with a super great gal. Yet at the end, he blamed people for abandoning him. Well, you keep people at arm’s length, what do you expect? The OST playing in the background as he sat on the Chairman’s seat looking blankly ahead was just so apt in describing his condition. Do you get to see the lyrics? Are you watching on Viki? Another thing I love about this director - Mark’s loneliness being at the top was clearly shown through his scenes. There’s one thing I wish was written in for Mark at the end.

Full of spoilers for those who have not watched... Ep.22 - Love to see NYS in his "younger" self having no reservation expressing his love and affection to TJ - NYS also get to tell his father what his dream is, while NDY willing to listen patiently this time. I imagine in the past he would just cut NYS off. He is a loving father, just that typical patriarchal figure that we all love to hate. - NDY humbling himself by going to TJ's house and requesting her to help NYS with his mental regression goes to emphasise his love for his son. - Love the going back and forth of the past and current NYS-TJ during their scenes together. - When TJ brought NYS to his apartment unit, it's funny to see NYS praising the taste of his own apartment, haha... Ep.23 - Again, the flashback interspersing with present is done well as they were visiting their old hometown. - The letters in time capsule gave TJ a deeper understanding of NYS's love for her. - SFT being drunk and telling Vicky how he felt about her, about their relationship was a great step for them. - The mental regression turned out to be blessing in disguise. NYS finally gets to tell his father that he and TJ had said their marriage vows in Belgium. The look of shock on his face, a new understanding why these two are so tortured now because of the separation he caused in the past. - Little PP missing NYS again. He remembered NYS often visited him when he was sick, and he wanted to be able to do the same for NYS now that he is "sick". Love the child actor. Ep.24 - In the prologue, we get a more complete dialogue from that rainy night years ago. - The tension in the car as NDY and TJ talked about how to help NYS. Both love this man so much, but they have their different perspectives and ways to approach the problem for a solution. - Love the short chat of TJ and her BFF at the balcony. We finally get to hear more about TJ's feelings and thoughts at that time which led to what she did, to what she is today. She knew that she is the only one who can take out the "knife" that's still in NYS's heart. I love to see TJ doing her "homework" at the laptop to learn more about whatever problem she is facing and needs to solve. - The reenactment of that rainy night, with different words and assurance from TJ, finally drew NYS out of his mental regression. Love that part so much. The image of a train stopping at the station was also a great way to illustrate NYS "coming back"/"reaching his destination" safely. - NDY wanted to celebrate the occasion as a family, but NYS tried to stop it considering TJ might not feel comfortable. Very unexpectedly TJ agreed to go pick up PP for the meal. - I love that TJ accepted NDY's gratitude for helping NYS, but she stood her ground and politely refused to accept his apologies for what happened in the past. Like she said, it's not something that can be forgiven and be forgotten with just a toast. What happened back then was still clouded in mystery. - Loving the family time that NYS-TJ-PP are having as they plan for his school. A bit sad seeing SZJ looking at them from the outside though. This director likes showing how a person feel from the back. It happened a few times. This is one of them. Unusual way of portrayal, but I appreciate it. Just watching his back when he stopped for a moment, yet you can feel his sadness and resignation. - Second best part of this episode was when PP spontaneously cheered to TJ that he won against "daddy". No further explanation needed. Both parents were happy. This little boy is so natural in his acting. Especially when he tried to show his hesitation about playing against both mom and dad. - SFT bought an apartment unit with a full view of Dong Yuan Group building. Wow, talk about obsession...! The proposal was quite unique, haha... over a text message, in the presence of each other. That is a first.
