COMMENTS
I wonder what the tipping point will be, to make them seriously consider divorce. They have to split up rather soon, if the point is for them to work their way back to each other after spending time apart. I wonder if Hyung-woo’s first love will be a catalyst for the split rather than just an opportunist. (The bartender I foresee being the latter, once they’re separated, though he might help fuel the misunderstandings.)
The thing I like is that in each moment, I feel for a different character. Sometimes I side with Eun-jae and sometimes with Hyung-woo, because neither is completely right or wrong, and they both make their share of mistakes. The setup in their fundamental differences is great because it’s laid into everything, from where they come from to how they take their tea.
Everything, down to which baseball team they like, is in opposition. It’s taking the opposites attract motif and testing it in practical terms, past the rose-colored lovey-dovey stage. And as Hyung-woo pointed out, marriage has a way of turning things you used to find charming into big gaping flaws.
There are crucial character details, like Hyung-woo coming from a wealthy household. It explains why he feels no pressure whatsoever to scrape together a living, and why he can be so cavalier about giving away his time for free. He just hasn’t quite put it together that his mother providing for him is not the same as his wife providing for him, because he’s the idealistic and impractical type. It’s infuriating, but also really sweet and heroic too.
I like that this kind of setup is sort of like two traditional rom-coms in one. They already went through the meet-cute and bickering romance, only they went too quickly and skipped to the end, without going through the proper steps. So they have to go back to square one to get it right. Perhaps with enough distance from the yelling and the housefires, they’ll find their way back, and actually get to know each other in the process. |
