"See, what did I say? I told you you they got back together. And this isn't a first. Fifteen years ago at Samdal's place ... They were dating and being all lovey-dovey back then too."

i love how well sam-dal and yong-pil's relationship is set up, them being exes truly feels so secondary to everything else that they are, to the point you might even forget they ever dated. the feeling of watching an old childhood friend who you don't talk to simply because you live a different life from is so poignant.

Welcome to Samdalri

This... what do I even say.

I am glad to see these small flash backs and clips of the friends. This series is so heartwarming but also thought provoking.

Cho Sam-dal, thinking that because of her or something that she did actually might have led someone to end their life. It is a huge burden and guilt to carry around.

It made me also reflect on my actions, the way I talk to people and how I can improve.

Dramas like these do help you gain some perspective, laying a seed of thought.

WHICH MATTERS, more then you think.

ANSJSHSSJAI SAMDAL AND YONGPIL </33

Sleepy babies

[khaotunng]

About Songdo, yes, he is very out of line by referring to Samdal as something that Yongpil stole from him, 🚩 behaviour, but honestly this kind of resentment towards Yongpil was coming from miles away and Samdal is just the tip of the iceberg. AND the situation is more nuanced than one may think.

Since the beginning of the series everyone casually mentions Songdo as someone who was poor and everyone was so nice to him, see: Samdal commenting many times how she always defended him, his own mother saying Yongpil always gave him his toys to play. His now favourable economic position, symbolised by the expensive car, is sometimes lightly made fun of, (which is fine! They’re friends) and Samdal is quick to say with the familiarity of old friendship “give me a ride remember how I was always there for you”. And let’s be honest, Yongpil is rightfully, (deservedly!) the town’s most beloved son, everyone loves him and wishes the best for him. I can imagine Songdo’s mother treating Yongpil especially nice ever since his mother died. … but let’s see it from Songdo’s eyes. Everyone was so nice to you, and you had to be fine with being the only one who didn’t leave the island in hopes for a better future. Your hard work is appreciated, yes, but taken from granted by your own family because you have a brother who’s selfish and terrible for the both of you. You did the best with the cards you were given, but deep down you think everyone prefers Yongpil, who is so talented, he should have gone to work in Seoul, who is so sad, he lost the girl he loved. Everyone seems to cheer for Yongpil to the point you wonder if it’s okay for you to wish for things, and the one time you tell yourself “no, this time I’ll try, I won’t be nice”, the universe and your mum tell you you stand no chance, it was always going to be Yongpil. Come on, you guys really think it’s only about Samdal, or only about the best toys and being class president? It’s the culmination of all the tiny hurts he received because he always had to settle and he was never praised like Yongpil for, for example, staying in samdal. His behaviour is not correct, and Yongpil doesn’t deserve the resentment, but Songdo’s actions are very much understandable, his character is well-written. And I think he deserves some slack for being a bit of an asshole for the first time in 30 years of being a devoted son/friend

I still have more tags to add. No but for real. Park Hyung sik supremacy for bringing us this brand of loser men.

I am so glad the new kdramas are bringing back the specific brand of loser men. You know which brand I'm talking about. The Ahn "min min" Minhyuk brand of loser men and I'm loving it. The "I worship this goddess and I'm so in love with her and I can't believe I get to love her. Oh my gods I love her so much" brand of loser men. And we're being fed so well with lovely runner, love next door, no gain no love, my demon, Cinderella at 2am, Hierarchy, Midnight Romance in Hagwon, Queen of tears, welcome to samdal-ri and even good partner (yes it's one sided but the dedication and yuri's couple too).

We need more fictional loser men who worship women to satiate our eldest independent daughter desires.

“It was those scumbags who cheated and betrayed you. What I'm saying is, you're the victim here. So you shouldn't be ashamed. The victim shouldn’t be embarrassed. You were wronged. They should be embarrassed, not you.” Cho Yong Pil.

Sometimes watching a tv show or a movie can heal you in ways you wouldn’t have thought of.

Last week was hell and I found a Kdrama where the female lead was going through a similar situation and then it became so cathartic when I saw her grow, love and come out happy despite everything.
