so cheolyong is that childhood friend of eunmyeong's - i'm not sure if you remember, but when hyunsuk was first introduced to the parents, and they found her inside the wardrobe, they initially thought it was going to be cheolyong hiding in there. they only realized it wasn't because they realized the one hiding was a girl. they kind of showed glimpses in the past that cheolyong was not a very exemplary kid. there were comments about him running away from home and getting the worst grades in the class, but i don't think there were any scenes with him in it. cheolyong is also eunmyeong's business partner in the "business plan" (pawn shop) that eunmyeong mentioned in this episode.

thank you for your reaction. I really like the relationships between husband and wife, father and daughter, and mother and daughter. BUT that fact that the parents loved their children diffrently and didn't even hide it kills me. Maybe I'm more sensitive because it reminds me of my own life, but it feels like he was just left out while th parents were busy raising Geum Myeong. She is the eldest and the spoiled daughter, all the attention, support and love were givin to her, Meanwhile Eun Myeong had to deal with constant criticism and comparisons to his sis. That's why it's hard for me to see them as a "perfect family". And it makes me sad that people call out EM when he's rude to his parents, but not GM (even though she didn't have any reason to be rude, other than her own emotions).

we're almost done with this drama, so I would love to recommend another super sweet one called Reply 1988. It is one of the best (If not the best) korean dramas out there. It's such a heartwarming and nostalgic drama, full of love, frienship and everyday moments. What's really cool about this drama is that every character feels like a main character and you'll get to see all of their stories. And you might even spot a familiar face there hehe

Familia I get that it might be annoying for military ex boyfriend to come to the wedding but i think it was supposed to be an emotional closure scene for him. His intention was to come congratulate her thats why he brought her the flowers but then once he got there he realized that he got enough closure seeing her one more time (happy) and thats why he left. I feel bad for him.

The names “Yeom Byeong-cheol” and “Na Min-ok,” which appear in the early scenes, refer to Aesoon’s stepfather and his wife. Although they do not appear again after the family moves, when Geum-myeong becomes an adult and hides Chulseob at a boarding house, the landlady recalls Na Min-ok, saying that Min-ok’s grandmother once mentioned her — suggesting that Aesoon’s connection with them was not completely severed after the move. At Eun-myeong’s son Jeil’s first birthday party, they gave a gold toad as a gift. They run a rice cake shop that is so successful that it’s said they drive a Benz with the money they make from selling rice cakes. It is said that Yeom Byeong-cheol and Na Min-ok told Aesoon to go to college when they gave her the gold toad. They probably still felt guilty for not being able to send her to college when she was young. For reference, to reiterate, in the early 1950s, the high school enrollment rate was only around 30%, and for women, it was merely in the 20% range. During Aesoon’s later years, when she served as section chief and deputy chief, even having a “high school dropout” education was considered relatively well-educated for that time period. Hyeon-suk (Eun-myeong’s wife) said “nunkkal” (“eyeball” in a rough or slangy way) in front of the adults, so Aesoon corrected her by saying “nunal” (the proper word for “eyeball”). IMF Crisis (The 1997 Financial Crisis) In late 1997, South Korea experienced a major economic crisis known as the IMF Crisis (or the Asian Financial Crisis). At the time, many large corporations had overexpanded and were unable to repay their debts, leading to a wave of bankruptcies. The country also ran short of U.S. dollars needed to pay off its foreign debts. As a result, the Korean government had to request a bailout from the IMF (International Monetary Fund). For Koreans, this period is remembered not just as an economic issue, but as a time when the entire nation was shaken. After the IMF crisis, many companies shut down or drastically reduced their workforce. Consequently, it became common for people who had already passed job interviews or were waiting for one to have their interviews or job offers canceled, since companies could no longer afford to hire new employees. This context is reflected in a scene where Geum-myeong tears and folds a memo on the bus. The note contains the interview date, time, location, and the word “canceled.” During that time, many well-known major companies went bankrupt — for example, Hanbo Steel, Kia Motors (which went bankrupt and was later acquired by Hyundai), and Daewoo Group (then the second-largest conglomerate in Korea, and the company where Geum-myeong worked before losing his job in the drama). These events caused mass unemployment and severe financial hardship for many families. In the following years, words like “restructuring,” “unemployment,” and “frugality” became deeply embedded in Korean society. The scene with the man selling toothpaste on the bus is heartbreaking. He’s in a situation where he has to do anything he can to make a living because he has a family to support. He used to work for a large company but suddenly lost his job overnight. The tears welling up in his eyes and the tremor in his voice are incredibly sorrowful. During the 1997 IMF financial crisis, the Korean government lacked enough U.S. dollars to repay its foreign debts. At that time, many Koreans voluntarily participated in a nationwide campaign to help the country by donating the gold they owned. People brought items such as wedding rings, necklaces, gold bars, and medals to the Bank of Korea, where the gold was converted into dollars to support the national economy. In total, more than 200 tons of gold were collected. This campaign became a symbolic event representing how the Korean people came together in unity to overcome a national crisis, and it is still remembered today as one of the most remarkable examples of national solidarity. That’s why Aesoon also seems to take out the gold toad she had received as a gift, intending to donate it. In that scene, you can see the newspaper headline mentioning the “Gold Collection Campaign.” People said that the restaurant scene felt especially realistic because IU actually has a younger brother. lol Judging from the line, “What if Yang likes him more than he likes her? Why the hell is that punk so stiff? No, what if my sister! is making a fuss over nothing--”, it seems that Eun-myung was also concerned about Geum-myung having been deeply hurt after breaking off her engagement with her first love (Young-beom, the soldier). He didn’t show it openly, but he seemed worried that his sister might get hurt in love again, or that she might be falling for someone on her own without realizing it. At first, I thought Eun-myung was sleeping in the living room with Chulseob because a guest had come and there weren’t enough rooms, but it turns out Eun-myung was also keeping an eye on Chulseob, just like Gwansik lol. It’s funny how he gets startled by any noise and immediately asks what’s going on. Dried persimmons (gotgam) are made by peeling astringent persimmons and hanging them in a well-ventilated place to dry slowly throughout the winter season. After waiting for a long time, a white layer of natural sugar appears on the surface, and the inside becomes chewy and sweet. It’s a beautiful line that says Chulseob’s mother thought of Geum-myeong throughout the entire season (about two to three months) while making the dried persimmons. On the way to the wedding, Geum-myung says to Ae-sun, “Listen to me. I’ll still be Yang Geum-myung, not Park Geum-myung.” It’s ironic because Park Geum-myung is the name of her ex-boyfriend Young-beom’s father. The elderly man who attends the wedding is the owner of the Dodong-ri General Store and also the landlord of the small room where Gwansik and Aesoon once lived in Dodong-ri. He was born in 1907. When Aesoon and Gwansik were struggling financially due to Busang-gil’s interference in their fishing village business, he secretly helped them out. Later, during the village election for head of the fishing cooperative, he also supported Aesoon as a behind-the-scenes campaigner. Although he was usually a quiet man who didn’t speak unnecessarily, it is mentioned that he spread the scandal between Sang-gil and Mi-sook throughout the village. His wife is the owner of the Dodong-ri General Store. She is the one who later revealed that Busang-gil’s father had been one of the very first people in Jeju to adopt a Japanese-style name during the colonial era’s name-change policy (called Sōshi-kaimei). Both the elderly man and his wife appear again at Geum-myeong’s wedding. While their exact ages are not clearly stated, given that they already appeared to be well into their seventies or even eighties in the 1960s, their presence at a wedding set in the 1990s seems to be a dramatic allowance made for the sake of creating a warm and touching wedding scene. The person taking photos at Geum-myeong’s wedding and the one assisting beside him are Geum-myeong’s college friends. The College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), known in Korea as “Suneung,” is a very long exam that lasts the entire day. It starts early in the morning and ends in the late afternoon, so students have to bring their own lunch boxes to eat during the lunch break. The test usually includes subjects such as Korean, math, English, social studies or science, and a second foreign language. There are short breaks between each section. On exam day, schools are filled with a tense and quiet atmosphere as students take their tests. Because this day is so important nationwide, even workplaces delay their start times, and airplanes temporarily stop taking off and landing during the English listening section — showing how much the entire society accommodates test-takers. In Korea, on the morning of the college entrance exam day (called Suneung), it’s a tradition for family and friends to cheer for test-takers by sticking taffy (yeot) or paper notes on the school gate. The yeot is very sticky, so it symbolizes the wish for students to “stick well to the exam,” which is a play on words — since the Korean word butda (붙다) means both “to stick” and “to pass (an exam).” In other words, it’s a way of wishing them success, hoping they’ll “stick to” and “pass” the test just like the sticky candy. The papers usually have encouraging messages written on them, such as “Good luck on the exam!” or “You can do it!” That’s why on the morning of the exam, school gates are often covered with yeot and colorful notes filled with messages of support. Korea’s College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), known as Suneung, is held every year on the third Thursday of November. When Geum-myung walked down the aisle, one of the haenyeo aunts (Yang-im) said "When Ae-sun walked down the aisle holding her uncle's hand, I thought I'd just die from heartache." In Korea, at weddings, the honju—that is, the parents of the bride and groom—traditionally sit in the front as the hosts of the ceremony. However, if the parents have passed away, are estranged, or cannot attend for other reasons, a close relative often sits in their place. For example, an uncle, aunt, or another elder family member may take on the role of honju, serving symbolically as a parental figure offering blessings. Some families choose instead to leave the seats empty in remembrance of the parents, sometimes placing flowers, photos, white ribbons, or a small note saying “in memory” on the chair. This choice depends on the family’s situation and the couple’s wishes. When Ae-sun got married, I think her uncle sat in her father’s place. He used to say things that hurt her when she was young, but deep down, I think he really cared for her.
