I seldom watch a drama while it's airing and this drama is one of them. I never thought I will be that much invested in eun hee and han soo's story but their youth have added a lot of layers to their story. Eun hee hopefully realize that it is not about earning money and supporting her family. She needs to also love herself more. In episode 4, han ji min is so beautiful, she is not aging. Looking forward to her love story with joung joon. I wonder who constantly text her who is making her uncomfortable.

The scene in the hotel room when Eun-hee confronts Han-soo was raw and powerful. But it was hard to watch. My heart broke for both of them. It’s hard to see the dreams/memories of your youth come crashing down around you. Especially when you’ve held onto those memories, as imperfect as they were, rather than face your current reality. I too hope this is a new beginning for Eun-hee and Han-soo and their respective lives.
I’m really curious to learn more about Min Sun-Ah’s story.
At this point in the drama, I do not care for Young-ok. I’m sure she’ll have some backstory of abuse that’s supposed to garner our sympathy, but I’ve never cared for people who live their lives carelessly without regard for others. And I don’t find her character charming at all. “Jung-joon, RUN! Run away from her! Get off the island and find a kind, pretty girl!!” I bet he won’t listen to me. 🤦🏻‍♀️

HAN SOO & EUN HEE
I really liked their story. For Eun Hee, Han Soo was a representation of youth, love, joy and freedom, that's why she wanted to protect the image she had of him. When Han Soo came back and all those wonderful memories did too. Maybe even those memories were special for her because of the person she was back then, she was proud of who she used to be and believed she deserved love. That's something that made me a little sad with the ending. I think Eun Hui deserves a happy ending where she realizes that she's a great person and deserves love.

Well, like you said, let's hope that "maybe this closure will help her accept herself not as a jaded and cynical person incapable of love, but a woman who is worthy of the finer things in life."

YOUNG OK & JUNG-JOON
Jeong Joon writing down his thoughts was cute. It would be nice to read his diary and get to know him a little bit better. I know we won't get much info about him from talking lol.

We don't know much about Yeong Ok either, but it seems like she really doesn't want to talk about her life and people keep asking those kind of questions, so I guess that's why she just answers whatever they want to hear. And those women talk crap about her all the time, so I'm kinda glad she didn't tell them anything real.
Being late wasn't cool, tho. I can't defend her for that, even I got a little scared.

SOON AH
I'm curious about Soon Ah and her story. When her husband was yelling at her I was like "dude, she's actually doing a lot, more than you can imagine, give her a break."
I wonder if they don't have enough money to hire some help while Soon Ah gets better or if they don't get the help for other reasons. Seeing her trying her best to put a smile on her face and be with her kid just to get yelled at was horrible. And seeing her trying to do the things she needs to do but struggling so hard that she use all her time only washing her hair and ended up dissapointing her husband once again, almost made me cry.

Han-Soo & Eun-Hee :

My favourite scenes of the drama for now were their scenes as teenagers. I want a drama just of them (without the bitterness of the adulhood). As adult, I'm kinda happy they could keep this memory intact at the end.

Young-Ok & Jung-Joon :

I thought I would be excited to watch their love story and I wasn't... Young-Ok's behavior is really misleading and she knows what she's doing. Now, for the dive part, in the teaser of the episode, they showed her caught in a net, but they didn't mention it in the episode. So it wasn't very clear : either she didn't respect her team, either it was an accident, but why she didn't say anything? Or they messed up with the teaser.

Min Sun-Ah :

I want to judge her husband for being so insentive but in the same time we know nothing. I just think he shouldn't talk about this in front of his son but should try to protect him.

I was also a little shocked at how much the end of this arc got me. I was REALLY not a fan of Han Soo manipulating Eun Hee, but by the end of it I was less angry at him for sure. I definitely still feel bad for his siblings though as his sister had every right to vent. I am glad to be moving on to our next duo. Their dynamic, and at least her character seems interesting. He seems like a blank slate we haven’t really gotten any info on.

I expected a drama lot better but now I have watched it, expectations have gone way too low....I mean really you found your first love and right after agreed to go on a trip.... come on how can you accuse him for using your feelings, you allowed him first. what have you on your mind when you agreed for trip? And then there is young ok no matter how sad you are you dont say everybody that you love him or flirt with him. And jung joon dont fall for someone who just wave at you and smile. finally not a fan of byung hun never finished any of his drama...actually not able to. And lastly trouble causing kids..wow

I am glad they were able to have some more good memories. I like to think that he wouldn't have gone through in the end. I hope Eun Hee finds the happiness she deserves.

I was rolling my eyes every time Han-su was on screen but I dropped tears at the end of that episode despite not liking the character. Eun-Hui should be protected at all cost, she's such a gem and I hope she finds happiness.

I just love young Han-su and I wouldn't mind a special episode with just them 😅. I'll be on the look out for that actor.

What is the deal with Young-ok? I'm sure there's a back story but I just want to tell Jeong-hun to run because he will most definitely get hurt 🥺.
I was having anxiety just watching Young-ok receiving that series of one word texts in episode 3. Ughhhh

Shin Min A's character... That felt so real. I wonder if it's postpartum depression.

Ho-shik and In-kwon are busy fighting when a teen pregnancy is heading their way🙄🙄. It's going to be such a shit show when they find out and start blaming each other's kid

There's just something weird about those texts that Young-ok receives. She certainly seems uncomfortable receiving them and it's apparent it causes her distress. Yet, she responded and agreed to visit the text sender. I don't know if that's going to end well, but it's interesting that she's willing to do that.

Min Sun-ah's situation. You can't help but wonder what happened. She's clearly not in a good place and there's a lot to unravel there.

Still really loving this show!

fI agree that the Han-soo and Eun-hee arc was very well done, but many of those scenes were hard to watch. Eun-hee's hope and idealism in the face of Han-soo's desperate deceit made me feel for her so strongly. The scene where she calls him out was satisfying, but I was even more impressed with her turnaround the next day. Although I still don't think she should have sent Han-soo the money (and I'm glad he gave it back), her anger at the friend group for not actually having Han-soo's back was fair and something I hadn't even considered because like the rest of the friends, I was so frustrated with him. I'm glad Han-soo is back with his family; I'm not sure if that pension would really be enough to pay off his debts and fund a road trip, but I'll suspend disbelief on that one.

The brief glimpse of Min Sun-ah's life was also extremely affecting, especially to me, someone who has struggled with depression. The portrayal was very accurate, from not wanting to get out of bed, to having to go through the motions of emotional connections, to losing the whole day without realizing it. Very poignant and sad. I was glad to see the husband urge her to go to the hospital and actually get treated rather than telling her to get over it already. At the same time, he clearly doesn't really understand what she's going through or how to help her.

Young-ok and Jung-joon are intriguing together, and it strikes me that his very straightforwardness is the thing that Young-ok finds herself most drawn to about him. Doesn't hurt that he's super hot, either, I'm sure.

I think this drama is going to break my heart to million pieces as each arc folds. Been wondering how the omnibus format would work but it’s a turbocharging run if the HS-EH arc is the template for the rest. Fast moving but succinct with tons of heart, as with all other Noh’s drama.

I'm really enjoying this drama. Eun-hee confronting Han-su was intense, but I liked how the arc was resolved. I hope Eun-hee treats herself more and finds happiness. I'm glad Han-su reunited with his family even though his future was uncertain.

When someone tells you they will hurt you, believe them. Young-ok is a walking red flag.

I'm interested in seeing the drama tackle teen pregnancy. It's going to be a mess when the dads find out.

I thought they did a good job showing Soon-ah's struggle with depression in that brief scene. Her husband was insensitive, but at the same time, we don't know much about the situation.

Lee Jing Eun is brilliant as always but it was Cha Seung Won who stole the show for these 3 episodes. His guilt, desperateness, remorse and embarassment was just on another level. Plus this is the first time I've seen him in a completely serious role so that's a new discovery. Though, he's pretty good in the non serious roles too. That said, I loved how all of it was resolved. Eun Hee realizing that they weren't good friends to him was the icing on the cake. I'm having a feeling not every story will end this optimistically, especially the next one. People with no dating experience may want to blabber about how they are hard to please or how they'll hurt you but not someone who already has enough experience to know how they are when they date someone. Young ok is legitimately warning JJ but I guess he's too blinded by love right now to see through. Though I actually like YO.
It was really hard to see Seon Ah. I'm guessing it's either postpartum depression or she went through a miscarriage. For one second there, I could see how the husband hesistated before saying sth as if he understands what pain she's going through. But he definitely isn't conveying any of this appropriately. He's only hurting her more. And they probably need therapy together. When your partner is depressed, I guess it gets hard for you too but it felt like for the husband it's not about her well being but how she isn't playing her part in their home life. Not cleaning the house, washing clothes or cooking dinner. The husband said he and their son will go eat out and the only thing I could think was, she's hungry too. She had no idea the entire day has passed alteast comfort her a little.

Han-Soo & Eun-Hee are my favorite character from 1-3 I was scared thinking their argument will be the end of their friendship. Seeing how they handle it shows they will meet again as happy friends

Episode 3 ends the Hansu arc in a very bittersweet but appropriate way. Eun hee is smarter than the rest of the market crew, except when it comes to love. They were looking out for her, but in the end she scolded them about what it truly means to be real friends. She keeps the door open for Hansu to return, but that is highly doubtful. It seems Eun hee does not like to eliminate people from her life.

Episode 4 starts with a new couple, Captain Joon and flirty Young Ok. Personality opposites are drawn together. OK, but she has a back story; I wonder if it parallel’s the young teens sudden adult crisis.
Seon-Ah’s catatonic depression does not answer why she went to Jeju to see peddler Dong Seok. Was their past the cause for her current condition?

I think the main focus, one couple episode blocks will help in the story telling.
