I feel every pain of Yeonsoo struggle from staying above the water line. The sting when she had to give up the luxury of having friends. The frustration for not making the end meet. The agony from being jealous to see her closest person dream of living normal life while she is suffering for tomorrow. I could see her frightening, feeling that nothing is worthwhile after she accomplished paying a debt.She is still running and I hope soon for Woong to tell her she has worked hard and it is time to take things slowly. I know her breaking up reason was more deep than a pride. Imma hug her in my mind. (╥_╥)
I love ep 10 so much, the bonding scenes between the characters are so heartwarming to me, from Solyi and Yeonsoo chit chat night, zucchini dinner with Grandma, and Ung Jiwoong's story time before bed since they were teenager. Their scenes made me certain that this drama is also about balance between friends, lovers, and family. Especially between 2woong, they deeply cared for each other and love wasn't the only thing they had in mind. Everyone had other problem too aside romance, this also goes for Yeonsoo when she decided to let go Woong in the past. Her only family which is grandma, came as first priority for her back then. The only thing that is out of place was NJ narrative for me, she is practically outsider from all the plot, i guess writer made her as a character that comes and goes in life? I don't want to hate NJ but the story thread already massive enough without her. Please forget Woong and just be a likeable character that befriend w everyone, im begging lol.
This is the real beginning of the second half which is a whole arc for Woong & Yeonsoo trying to rebuild a strong relationship that can stand the test of time. Back then, Woong needed someone to look after him and Yeonsoo was the one. Now 5 years after, it is like a mirror and the role is reversed. Yeonsoo has become softer and she needs someone who can be there for her aside her grandma. Woong has learnt to be tougher by overcoming his trauma and it is his time to protect her.
