  I really liked it. Am I allowed to say that? Not having a happy ending doesn’t make it less of a good drama. Good doesnt have to mean happy. It brought me to tears and I’d say that if a drama can make you cry ugly tears it’s doing it’s job as are the actors. It made me feel so deeply for the tragicness of it all. Of course I would have liked happy but there are plenty of other dramas for that. I started it not knowing where it was going and I’m glad I didn’t.
  Jin Kook May have hated Moo Young because he knew deep down who he was and he just felt so guilty that he couldn’t find him when he was little. Maybe he feels responsible that he ended up the way he did?
  Not a monster. He just needed love. As soon as he murdered that Noona I knew it couldn’t end well. But let’s all admit it. That Noona has it coming. I just wish he hadn’t crossed that line.
  The ending was what it needed to be. They did end up together forever so you can look at it that way if it helps. I cried more in this than any other drama. I thought Sacred Heart and Goblin were as tear jerking as it could get but this was just painful. It took several episodes of Shopping King Louis to recover!

    Thank you so much for this discussion space 💗
    Here goes My answers to the Questions above, please pardon me for such a lengthy comments because this drama left me With so much emotions😭💔

    Thank you for this discussion thread💗
    1. Do i like this drama? Oh I love it alright, it has all the recipe for a melodrama. I cried, i laughed, My heart fluttered, i felt fear worry, it shattered into pieces all at once. I wanted to scream at JG for stabbing MY, i wanted To hug Jin kang and comfort her when She was sobbing desperately infront of mooyoung’s door, i wanted To shout at Mooyoung to not be triggered By that crazy seran and Tell him that Yoo jin kang is not your sister!!! Why are you believing that snake!?

    Gahhhh writing all of this is making me cry Again because of The what ifs that could have happened in the drama. All that roller coaster of feelings are surging back💔😭 i wanted Them To have a Happy ending but The moment mooyoung pulled that trigger its for certain a Happy ending wont be possible and They Would follow through With the kind of ending of The original drama.

    Frankly because of how far, in My opinion, They had went astray With The potrayal of The characters from The original one i was really hoping They Would make The drama be totally different and that a redemption arc Would have been possible. Mooyoung was so humanize in My eyes that i cant seem To see him as evil even when he killed seran IT wasnt because he was pissed of her he felt like he needed To protect jin kang from going through The same hurt like him. IT was different from The original Ryo Who killed The woman just because he was angered By her teasing him about him and his sister.

    Also There were some plot holes that i noticed after rewatching that Made me think ya what was that about. I think what i love most about The drama is how mooyoung is struggling To feel human again after all The wrongs he Did and how jin kang passionately never gives up on him right till The end, its really their love that draws me to The drama and i have No regrets watching IT. In The final scene i sobbed so hard when mooyoung was looking at The stars and dreaming that Jin kang was next To him, seriously when her figure dissapeared i cried so hard because of how lonely Mooyoung look at that scene and broken Without jin kang By his Side. So when They died i was crying but not as bad as when he was looking at The stars because i was glad they were next To Each other and her hands was holding his face and They were together at The end💔🌺💗😭

    What can I say about this couple. I was interested in this drama mainly because of somin and seo inguk because I like somin in BTLIOF so i was curious about her new project and also i havent seen seo in guk for Awhile in a drama those two peak my curiousity. I thought i was just going to watch one episode first but then MOokang had their first meeting, and since then i was shipping Them The main couple already 😂
    Personally I think mooyoung’s interest towards Jin kang was Already in The beginning when She started asking him about The beers and that She doesn’t seem To be swayed when he gives her The beer that She wants. Then his interest got a Lot more deeper when he listened to her conversation With chorong, but I think what really Made him like her is how She is different from The rest when they instantly like him because of his coolness and slyness, jin kang treated him Naturally not because She was amaze By his coolness and what not. I think jin kang got interested towards him when She saw him Taking The cat, but She must have fell for him when She realised that moment when he sent seung ah Home and then She doesn’t allow jin kang to meet seung ah mum because She slapped jin kang before this, and jin kang Said To him” you do all The nice things afterall but why do you pretend To be mean” IT must have dawn on her that his coldness is him putting up a front. She must have known that She has feelings for him when She couldnt find him and feeling so horrible not knowing whether he was alived or not, and She got so worried and fearful when She heard mooyoung wanted to work for seran, She was so scared that She might lose him that She pluck up The courage To finally accept him in her arms❤️ never once She turned her back from mooyoung after that, She keeps on believing in him and gives him The strength that he so much needs😭❤️
    The scenes that is My most favourite must have been mostly all The mookangs moments. Although i also love The moments when She bickers Lovingly With JG but My fav goodnes Theres so many!❤️Like when mooyoung confronted jin kang about her feelings that he’d rather not feel anything than not knowing what you feel when She keeps on denying was so LIT! Its The iconic dialogue from mooyoung” Tell me have you not thought about me?” “Have you not missed me?” Have you not have any feelings towards me” And she answered With “opseo” i was literally flailing because She obviously has feelings for him By Then!
    ❤️Also The scene when She told him She doesn’t want him To be astray and Asked him To promise her that he Will be a good person and he answered”Teach me” omg feels😭❤
    ❤️️
    The moment when She comforted him on The couch when She Asked him” are you scared that your dream might Come true?” And just hugs him was just so soothing to watch.
    ❤️The part when mooyoung came back from haesan and Asked her ” are you really ok With me knowing Who i Am?” And She Said “of course” and he cried saying” i want To be reborn again” and She Runs and hug him! Omg that was sooooooo sad.
    ❤️also The part when he had a tif With JG and when he returned Home and saw JK waiting for him and Then he lied down beside her and She Said ” you are here” he replied With “I’m here” and They smiled at Each other and he shyly lean towards her omg The feels.
    ❤️lastly that scene where They were Cooking rice together and Their VoiceOver came on narrating their wishes and Promises those were some of My fav moments. They are still so many but this Will do for now😂🌺
    Although I must admit that upon rawatching the drama, I have some Questions about some plots that Didnt have any answers for It. I also think that its largely because The writers wanted to follow The original so although some parts of it i was thinking Would not have been necessary To follow like JG hating mooyoung, and have him stabbed mooyoung, It’s because JG knows or at least suspected that MY was The kid he was looking for and how much he meant to jin kang and to think that he could hurt MY was kinda confusing. Especially during that last conversation which he had With MY he knows how much MY meant to JK when She was younger and to think that he stabbed MY. Like why he hated Mooyoung so much and Then when mooyoung had really became a murderer he was suddenly all nice to mooyoung, when really he kind of contributed to this mess whats With him Killing MY dad and stabbing MY in The pretense of it being for Jin kang i mean seriously mooyoung must have felt his decision To kill seran a justified one. I Dont understand JG on this bit Too him hating mooyoung so much.
    Was Mooyoung a monster To me? Obviously no, I’ve always seen mooyoung With a blinded biasness through The eyes of Jin kang, if jin kang doesn’t see him as a monster i believe that To be true. That moment when She was screaming to JG”he gets hurt too, he gets hurt By people like you!” ” he had a much harder experience growing up than i do💔” The fact that She Knows moo young so well that he is not a monster like how everyone wants To believe, he never was to her🌺She aknowledged his wrong but She knows deep down mooyoung had good in him and he can be good🌺
    I think The ending was so sad but personally Would have change The plot By not making mooyoung a murderer but was Only framed for murder that way There can be a possibility for redemption but oh well, They had To Stick To The original drama so The drama have to go out With a bang!

    Overall i love The drama but i love The pairing more for this drama. seo inguk and jung somin Made The mookang character so believable. It’s like They are totally a different entity from The main actors. Its like mookang has a soul of its own. Kudos to Both actors for The great potrayal of their characters i almost forgot they were not real😅❤️

    Thank you once again for this space and im Sorry that i rant so much🙏🌺
