Day 8: OTP You Didn«t Think You’ll Adore – Ye Ji & Hwan
Day 9: Drama You Watched Just Because And Ended Up Loving – When I Was the Most Beautiful

I loved Hwan’s confession of love to Ye Ji (and Jin). He finally opened up about his feelings to his brother and Ye Ji. This scene – and the whole drama, in fact – put me in a melancholy mood. They showed that profound quiet love is a very valuable thing, it is the most enduring and can survive any harsh times. I’m glad to have watched this show despite its flaws and its open ending.



„She was the first person to repay me. for my kindness. Even when I had brought kimchi all
the way to Seoul for Mom, she only complained. Dad was only worried about you. And you were never interested in me. Ms. Oh thanked me and gave me flowers. She said it was the first time
someone had ever shown her kindness. It was a good thing. But she was sad, not happy. And I could understand her. I know the loneliness one feels when one always gives but never receives. She didn’t buy those flowers. She went to a field and picked up yellow wild flowers one by one. Then she gave them to me with both hands. I had never seen anyone who looked so grateful because of me. When I told her I was studying architecture, she took photos of nice buildings. She even made drawings and created a scrapbook. While searching for you, I had to check dead bodies. She knew how hard that job was even though I hadn’t told her so. She just knew after reading my reports. She cried for me. She knew I was struggling and in pain. She understood my feelings before anyone else could. I didn’t know that understanding each other could make me feel so whole.”
