I’m keeping a running tally of how many screencaps I can stuff into these, like an overflowing emotion sandwich. Such a glutton for these eps which bring squishy joy together with the crunch of regret, wrapped around the burger of all the things we wish we’d done differently 😭
Thank you so much for this beautiful review. You articulated my exact thoughts as I was watching these episodes. The unfolding of Dae-young’s story, his unseen sacrifices for his family and realization he turned into a version of his father he never wanted to be, is so impeccably done. I am so glad him and his father had the chance to forgive each other. The basketball court scene left me a blubbering mess.
You picked up on all the little moments I loved in these episodes: the conversation between Da-jung and her mom, Dae-young and Ja-sung. UGH. This show is such a gem!!
