@quirkycase thank you for the weecap.

It really was Gyeorye’s growth this week. Not sure about the relationship between Gyeorye and Yeonjoo after fighting to get him back into the found family. I get she is probably shy and unsure of herself so is putting on a show but they could at least hold hands, having got so into the kissing last time it’s like it never happened.

On the other hand I was laughing out loud with the piggy back scene and the feeling betrayed comments. I was a bit worried about him going in to chat to a child in the bath house scene I noticed they kept the door open on one hand this was a safety element on the other I was concerned about the child being cold. I am sure they could have chosen another setting for the conversation. I also wanted to know where the social worker for the elders was as he would have coordinated with children’s social workers to find a short term solution so the children would have been properly supervised and sorted with school and being fed etc. The random ‘relatives’ how did they even know where to come or what was going on?

Sad storyline re the late apology. I know they were implying the woman was a foreigner so could have been a mail order brides but she still looked young enough to have been his daughter rather than wife.

It’s going to be busy next week. Seokjoon seemed to be more human when he finally got his dream date but was brought back to the harsh reality of her perception of his role in her life. I am hopeful his conscious will prevent him from going down the road of no return and that he can find an alternative family to the gang he was probably groomed into joining as a lost youth from the orphanage.

Throughout this series we have been shown how limited options can lead to poor choices being made which result in unfortunate long term consequences. I wonder if there will be a reconciliation with Gyeorye and his dad who is playing some serious games at the moment. I want to know what happened with Deokja’s hair.

Re the move to the dementia village I wonder what it will be like for Deokja as it’s a foreign country so the food, weather, language and appearance of the people will all be unfamiliar so I am not sure it will be the healing experience that everyone thinks it will be. If only the planned equivalent village he was planning in the drama Devilish Joy was a reality that would be a much better fit for her.

While I still had some sympathy for Joon-kyung in the last episodes, by now there is really only dismay and contempt left. How utterly inhuman and despicable is it to ask a friend or close acquaintance to kill her and Gyeo-rye? I hope that Seok-joon somehow still manages to get out of this. Joon-kyung belongs in a psychiatric ward where she is treated and has as little contact with other people as possible so that she cannot drag them down with her.

The Netherlands dementia village wish doesn't make amy sense to me unless there is a Korean section. She doesn't speak their language, seeing so many foreigners will startle her all the time, the food isn't the same. She will be worse off than before. It is a weird wish.

The little kids were so precious. I felt so bad for the older sister, you could tell she was utterly overwhelmed. I'm glad GR took care of them.

Dear Show,

Please spend more time doing what you do well: granting wishes and helping YGR start a new life. Please wrap up all gangster plotlines and JK and her death wish ASAP, taking as little time as possible. Goodbye, miserable old life. Hello, new home, new confidence, new community, new love.

Thank you!

Frustrating, but not unexpected I guess, that GR is reverting to type trying to deal with things on his own. It's looking like it will lead to a more serious situation as a result. And I agree with other comments too, did the kiss not happen? Can we see more interaction between the main couple please!
I'm so over his ex...

To say the least, it was totally nerve racking to see Gyeo Rye going back to the apartment where he used to share Joon Kyung. Probably with some prompting from Yeon-joo, he went with the cookies trying to make amend Joon Kyung. Oh no 🤦🏽‍♀️ Are they both crazy? Both were naive in thinking that Joon Kyung could be coerced into leaving Gyeo Rye in peace? I was holding my breath the whole time he was in that apartment, fearing that Joon Kyung would suddenly appear with that scary smirk on her face 🤣

Nice of @reply1988 and @kafiyah-bello to point out the absurdity with the dementia village because I did not think of the difficulties sje will face in getting accustomed to a foreign land. Maybe the drama team thought viewers would not dwell too much on it like me 😅😅

I am really frustrated with the Room 403 arc because it is not heartwarming or engaging and if anything, it just highlights the impending angst which I really, do not want to watch. There is no necessity for Gyeo Rye or Tae Shik to face their fears and get a closure to their past sufferings.

Give us more of the cute kids and smiling and fumbling Gyeo Rye.

Ep 11 was pretty decent (love the trio, loved GR's reaction and processing, and love how Supervisor Kang and YJ dealt with it). But ep 12 was a filler ep in a drama that is starting to look like my childhood trick-or-treat bucket: a lot of Tootsie Rolls and Necco Wafers with the occasional fun size Butterfinger (my faves). Too many gangsters, too much amnesia, too many sideshows, too much JK (and now SJ) going 1,000% off the rails into darkness, too little Team Genie and too little OTP. The best moments are when Team Genie are making wishes come true, or at least hanging out. Wookie and Sooyoung are in turns hilarious and heartwarming when they're given scenes that last more than 30 seconds, likewise Wookie and Supervisor Kang (heck, all three together). This whole subplot with Deok-ja and the village has me rubbing my temples for all the reasons beanies mention: how will that not be more distressing for her being in a place where she doesn't speak the language and isn't familiar with the lifestyle? Is this a Hogwarts Village, where everyone gets sorted into their own "house?" Wouldn't deciding to create that kind of village in Korea make for a much more coherent storyline?

The kids were cute, but their plotline feels redundant (I get it, GR sees himself in them and wants to protect them, but it just feels unnecessary) and has now added even more people into this already crowded drama that we are supposed to care about. (Sidenote: they were VERY cute and the performances were excellent, especially the little girl).

I feel like this drama has veered from a slow but steady beat of healing and self-discovery which is where it has been strongest. And I admit that at least some of my irritability right now is because I was told there would be ramyeon in the preview and that was a lie.

But joking aside, I want to see more of our main cast being together and doing good. I hope these next four episodes come back stronger.

Will the cook become the guardian for the kids?
