5 minutes in and I'm again impressed by the writing as I could see why BOTH sides were hurt, Chaebol Dad and Chaebol Mom.

Only 20 min in. The ML's mother, I have no sympathy for at the moment. May change as I see more of her backstory.....but a greed to the extent that you'd potentially ruin your family's future is hard to understand.

But the FL's family that is interesting. I can understand all sides. Though I do think mom or Da Rim should of called a family meeting, would it still be impossible? Maybe, but more people problem solving is better than two.

This was a painful episode, in a sense we saw pain and hurt of some of our protagonists. There were arguments, shouting and even a slap, but unlike the previous weekenders when I was just annoyed or frustrated, here I felt sympathy for all sides of the arguments, even Divorcing Aunt. Mom is so focused on her visually impaired daughter and now so desperately searching for the funding of the miraculous cure that she is hurting everyone around her. Luckily we had Halmoni and Haraboji to lift up the mood a bit. 🙂 (I also loved how Darim was sneaking in their bedroom to sleep with them. 😊)

Q: Are we heading to the donation direction and some health care funding by Chaebol? Or is this just a red herring?

Interesting episode. I liked the argument between ML's mum & dad. Kim Hye-eun makes a small moment feel so heavy as she really sells Ji-yeon's hurt at her husband's coldness. Cha-rim and Mu-rim, as children traumatised by poverty, are sympathetic; Aunty, not so much, though I do understand where she's coming from. I wonder if any of them would be comfortable saying to Da-rim, what they've said to Bong-hee. They're targeting the easiest mark - an aging widow with no one on her side. In a twisted way, I'm low-key hoping smth like an affair plays out between her and ML's dad. Cheating sucks ofc, but it would be nice to see her be selfish about her own happiness for once.

I'm still uncomfortable with the way our ML talks to Da-rim, but she gives as good as she gets. I like her prickliness and resentment, and the way he becomes a space for her to vent in this episode. I hope at some point tho, she aims that resentment at her siblings. I think they need to reconnect with each other and draw strength from that - they run into the arms of their (potential) romantic partners, because they want to evade "family". Mu-rim even goes as far as refusing to spend the evening with his fiancé's family. The final scene where the grandparents and Da-rim talk about their dreams, with money falling from the sky, was a bittersweet ending.

EPISODE 5
Wow.
This episode was sad and stressful.

I didn't know what to do or think because I could understand all the characters' POV. This is just an unfair situation, and there's no right answer. No matter what, someone will get hurt.
Tbh, at this point, even if Da Rim had the surgery I don't think she would feel too great about it given how getting the money is tearing the family apart and just seconds.

I'm glad mom gave aunt the money back and I hope she gives the money back to Mu Jin's mother in law too. And I know she's desperate, but I wish her conclusion to everythig people said to her wasn't "selfish bastards", because there's obviously more than that there. She probably can't listen to anyone right now, but if she keeps acting like this she will hurt more people than she thinks. Including Da Rim.
I wonder how things would've gone if she had taken a different approach to this situation. The way she talks is not helping her case. I wish she just asked for help instead of telling people they "have to" otherwise they're bad, and act like their situations don't matter that much.

I liked the fight between Crosswalk's parents too. I couldn't understand the mom, at all, but when her eyes lingered on her husband for a couple of seconds, I felt the disappoiment and sadness.
Something that makes me a bit sad tho, is how dad raised Crosswalk for the past 15 years, but the distance between them is so palpable. The poor boy seems like he's scared of being kicked out at any moment.

And I already had guess that mom and Crosswalk's dad know each other, but I really wanted to be on denial about a future love arc between them till the end. I really don't want it to happen. I just want the moms to be friends and uri omma to get her own man.

Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode. Watching all the characters just... be people. Aigoo. I just want them all to be happy.

Eps 5 is painful to watch, exactly because I can understand every side of the arguments Darim's family made. They are all validly hurt by what other family members did to them, and in return they also hurt other family members to alleviate that feelings. It was a painful circle of hurt with no easy fix. Especially since financial condition was in play here.

At first from the previous flashback, we saw how the poverty tied them into a stronger unit, banding together to get through the difficult situation. But they are stuck in that poverty for years now, with even more urgent concern that pushed them for more money, and eventually it drained them. We saw how their relationship was strained now, and this most recent situation about "new hope" about Darim's condition could be the trigger to either turn the situation around or make everthing worsen.

I wonder how the writer will tie this up to Darim's narration in eps 1 about how "hope" has become the biggest burden in her family. This $800.000 shot for Darim's eyesight could be another dreadful "Dad passed the preliminary round test in the 1st place" situation. Though I do hope they all learnt something from the past "empty hope" to better handle this newest development.

Ep 5: Wow! This show is delivering. It’s impossible to take sides. Everyone is hurting. But I could see where mom is coming from. She is giving more attention to the child who needs her more.
Grandparents are just adorable. My heart hurt for Da Rim when she said she was living in hell. And the way she went and slept by their side at night. I want to see more of them together.

And our leads were absolutely charming in the drunk interaction scene.

Ok let’s talk about money. So we have one more avenue. I thought grandparents will go back and take some money since they left their baskets in that location. But now looks like the ML might be able to help her.

Also, kudos to beanies who guessed FL mom and ML dad as a pair!! Wow. I was surprised with all the slo mo 🙃

Episode 6
- the siblings' relationships are... complicated.
- I quite like the leads together and I don't think there is any pity from Lighter Writer, he is clearly interested and attracted to Darim.
- you go Halmoni and Haraboji! The money is waiting for you! Haja! 💪🙂

Chaebol Mom is a complete idiot.

Is it odd to say I really enjoyed episode 5? All the fighting feels so real, as all sides have a point. It was a good catharsis for me, especially the scene at the end where the grandparents and FL laughing over dreams about hard things. Life is hard often, and sometimes all you can do is laugh.

Oddly I have the same eye condition as the FL, except that I have a very slow progression and at middle age am still sighted enough to live normally. I am just very trip/bump prone. There is no miracle cure, of course; there is no cure at all. It has been interesting to see how they handle the FL, in many ways showing her as normal. Sometimes I want her to be less whiny, but she is a 20 year old, and maybe that is unfair of me. I am not sure how I will feel about her regaining her sight. Part of me wants her to find empowerment in her condition, but maybe that is just from facing the condition myself.

EPISODE 6
1. I love this drama.

2. HARABOJI AND HALMONI LET'S GOOOOO!!!

3. I really want aunt's full story, because I need to know how and when and why this mess started.

4. DA RIM YOU NAUGHTY GAL. She tricked him, guys. LMAO Now she unlocked something on uri secretly rich oppa... Maybe that was her plan all along?

5. Crosswalk mom insulting her and laughing at him with no reservations. "I hate guys like the ML. He's literally you, btw" ROFL

6. Okay... So mom was ready to not only take their money (equally to their independence), but she was also planning on having them pay the debt for the rest of their lives?

I totally forgot about the part where, no matter what they do, it still wouldn't be enough money and they would have to borrow it from someone who wasn't family.
She seriously thinks taking their money, making them pay the debt, and having everyone resent each other for the rest of their lives while they're all imprisoned in the same house, is the way to go? Like, Da Rim's hell would change visuals, but it would be the same concept.

7. The scene with Cha-Da was my favorite!
I loved how Cha Rim panicked when Da Rin asked her if she was ashamed of having her as her sister. LOL

It's obvious that Cha Rim isn't ashamed of her family, not even one bit. She's just hurt. She wants her family to understand her, and to give her the affection and attention she deserves.
She wants them to acknowledge that struggles she went through. And she doesn't want to apologize for doing what's best for her, given that no one else would put her first and do it for her.

I'm liking more and more this character and her complexity.

8. Mu Rim's fiance rocks. She's so cute.
I want to see more of them, but especially more of Mu Rim. I can't figure him out.
He was so sweet with his grandparents, tho, he even laughed! That was strange (in a good way).

9. I love this show.

Again only part way through.
I understand her siblings not wanting to take on the debt of her medical bills and even the resentment they feel towards the mom.
However, I don't like how they are treating her like a burden or the physical manifestation of what they are trying to leave behind.
Has either of them actually acted like an older sibling? Just ask your little sister if she is happy at home? What her dreams are? Does she want to be a wife or mother or hold a job? I seriously wanted her to hit her oppa where it hurts for the way he seems to want her to just put a smile on her face so he doesn't have to feel guilty. Those are his misplaced feelings and not her responsibility. He could learn a lot from his fiancé like healthy boundaries and seeing his little sister as an actual person that is worth getting to know.

Finally finished episode 6 and so far, I like what I am seeing.

OK, so the robber who was on the loose apparently had an accident and died. Convenient for our plot but it does mean that our Grandparents now feel OK about retrieving the money.

Our Aunt and her husband had an ugly scene. But it is an ugly situation, so I guess it is to be expected.

ML's airhead mom did not impress me. In fact, it left me wondering what his stepfather ever saw in her.

FL's mom brilliant idea? We will all move in with Unni! That will free up half the money needed! Yikes.

Our FL telling her doctor that she did wrong in revealing the situation to her mom was absolutely spot on correct not just technically but in actually demonstrating the importance of patient confidentiality.

I think that I fell in love with our FL's future sister-in-law when she told her mom that it was Oppa's pride and integrity which is why she liked him. I strongly suspect that her mom likes him for that too. But things will get complicated when the grandparents bring home the money. Remember that our FL's Oppa, his bride and his mother-in-law- who is also his boss- are all police officers.

It sucks that Chaebol Mom's money was stolen, but I don't understand why she's so upset that her husband didn't coddle her. If she looked beyond her "woe is me" feelings for just one minute, she'd have seen that the chairman is well within his rights to be pissed because the money ~she lied about~ could put the company in trouble if discovered.

All she has done is whine and cry about the money, but it was the chairman who invented a cover story when the detectives came to investigate the theft. This week, he attended the cross-examination to align his story with Thief Driver, and forked out a precautionary donation to cover for her in the event that her tax evasion comes to light. The chairman is out there trying to protect her from facing the consequences of her actions. But what exactly has she done to protect herself or recover the money — apart from visiting the driver in prison and trying to scale over a glass partition? 🤷‍♀️

I know the FL's mom's approach and way of handling things is totally wrong. But the FL's Oppa and Unni are coming across as actively taking their resentment out on their younger sister. As if it's her fault that their lives and childhood turned out the way they did and her being blind is her punishment she should suffer.

I love every single scene with our main couple. he's one of the few people who treats her like a person, talking to her about other things beoynd her blindess, even when he's being annoying or rude. the two actors have amazing chemistry and perfect tiktak, I look forward to see them every week.

the grandparents are just too cute lol I love how he always call her noona

cant stand the two siblings. they don't give all their hard money to their little sister surgery, I can understand their point of their family just not being able to afford that debt in any way, but they could have said all of this in tons of different ways, shown at least a little bit of empathy for what his sister might be going through. she knows there's a solution but she cant afford it. that is a huge thing to deal with and they have shown no mercy at all for her. I can understand their argument with their mom, but they could have been more nice when they talked with their young sister ffs.

Ep 5 and Ep 6 can’t be more contrasting in vibe and tone. Ep 5 gave us all the “both sides now” heartaches whereas Ep 6 is tears and laughters. Ep 6 also answered a lot of questions Beanies asked from Ep 5.

Grandpa and Grandma really stole the show for me in Ep 6 - so adorable and so many LOL moments. The Q&A with the cop grandson is certainly the episode’s highlight. Not sure if the money is totally safe to take. I rewinded Ep 4 and 5 but can’t find anything about how the stocky burglar died. The question remains as to anyone gets hold of his mobile phone with money location marked.

While I can totally understand Cha-rim’s frustration but her treatment of Da-rim at her office is really hard to watch. The scene of her not even buying lunch for her poor sister gave me tears, despite lunch time up is a valid reason but you can surely get her something.

I am in love of Da-rim’s character. She is daring and “seeing” things clearly, not afraid to tackle things head on and say what she thinks. Her talking to the two siblings in Ep 6 is understated on the surface with so much raw emotion beneath.

I also like how the ML falls deeper for the FL as we move along. The fact that they apparently met at a writing club and Cha-rim got her crush due to loving his writing is beyond cute. This may just be our very first writing couple.

I wish they could show us more scenes about the police couple and the future MIL. The mother and daughter are indeed two awesome women. It’s a lovely family in the making only if Mu-rim could loosen himself. He may be too stoic but I can’t fault him as a son and brother.

As the poor behavior of ML’s mom stacks up (including not offering a helping penny when the husband’s company was in financial trouble), I’m keenly awaiting next week’s episodes when mom seeks to meet ML’s dad (presumably asking donation for Da-rim’s surgery).
.

Ep 6: Da Rim is so well written. I loved her conversation with the siblings. She was making peace but yet she was sharp throwing back their words at them.

I hated Cha Rim. She was unnecessarily cruel with her words. She makes it all about her. Really?? Sharing a room made your life so miserable that you can’t see your blind sisters suffering even once. I think she was guilty and had to tip toe around her sister so she doesn’t feel bad about being blind. I kinda get her still don’t like her.

Is SOBO oppa with a hot bod getting into a love triangle. Actually (I can’t believe I am saying it) I want him to slightly fall for Da Rim just to piss off Cha rim. lol. I am petty like that.

The plot twist with the gangster was hilarious.

How adorable are grand parents. So cute. I love their conversations and the way they made sure that their family won’t get into trouble before doing something dangerous made me love them more.

OTTOKE !! Kim Jung Hyun is so freaking adorable!! His face. His happy proud face. Loving the leads interaction so much.

Is it really bad to secretly wish our elderly duo dig up the money? 🙈🙈🙈

I keep thinking about how the ML said it was pity but he still thought she was living a full life. That she was writing and had a bf or even a string of lovers she goes dutch with, lol.
So different than the siblings who expect her to stay home happy living off of pocket money???? Also, maybe a good bday present would be to have chipped in and get her a nice laptop she could dictate her writing into.

Maybe all of them need to confront how much dad's actions hurt them.
