Btw the names of the children, Geummyeong, Eunmyeong & Dongmyeong translate to Gold, Silver & Bronze. They named the boat after all their children, GeumEunDong.

I pity them. - I don't even blame Ae-sun's uncle here because it's true: when you're already swimming in debt yourself, it's extremely difficult to help someone else as well. - „Is everyone else adulting just fine?“ Certainly not. We're all just struggling to get by. But I completely understand her because I also feel like that at times. Like I'm doing something wrong while everyone else just gets it, you know? - Yeah, Gwan-sik gets it. - Okay, grandma coming in clutch! - The flashback scene with Ae-sun's mum really got to me. Yeom Hye-ran just continues to impress me. What an actress. - The unlikablity of some of these characters is actually the reason why they feel so real to me. Because people really are like that. Not necessarily out of malice but because of their circumstances. - The madlad actually went and bought her mum's house. Hell yeah - But this also reminds me that back in those days a fisherman was able to buy a whole damn house whilst also providing for his wife and two children, all on one single income. If only that were still possible today... - Is that woman capable of saying anything other than „Your daughter-in-law is indeed a cut above mine“? Like, girl, get some other topics to talk about 👁👄👁 - Ugh, that fucker is still around. Good to see him ridiculed. - I'm not entirely sure what exactly is going on here. Is dancing prohibited or what? - Gorgeous scenes out at sea ✨ As someone who inherited a home, I can tell you, ownership is a pain in the ass. I don't live there myself, so I have a tenant. Thing is, as a landlord, you're responsible for everything. And last year, the toilet decided to leak. Set me back almost 6k. Which I, as a college student, do not have. Like, owning assets is one thing, but actually having liquid capital is another story entirely. The rent I get is nice but a third of that goes right back to property management. Which I also would have to pay if I lived there myself. I just wouldn't be getting rent then. And the monthly property management fee isn't even that much lower than the actual rent I pay for the place I actually live in. So I'd still have big monthly costs, on top of having to pay for all my own repairs and everything. When something breaks here (rented apartment where I live), I just call my housing company and they take care of everything. No such luxuries with ownership. I'm not even gonna get into the hell that is German bureaucracy. And that's all just for a small apartment. My grandparents own a big house and it's been causing them so much headache over the years. Unless you're RICH rich, renting is actually better imo. Just more convenient, less shit to worry about. Even if you can theoretically afford to buy. I actually have been considering selling the apartment but wtf would I even do with all that money then, if I don't invest it into another property again 😅 True first world problems right here.

2025-08-23 23:44:19 +0000 UTCJust wanted to add one thing regarding Ae-Sun's uncle.. people are generally way more complex than just "good" and "bad". Everytime he interacts with his mother (Ae-sun's grandmother) it's like I hear a child begging for more attention. I feel like, as the younger son, he always felt that his older brother was the favorite.. after he died, he tried to step up and into the shoes of the head of the family, yet, could never compete with the love of a grieving mothers heart. I can't imagine the resentment and also jeallousy, inside that man's heart, who probably believes his whole life, that his mom would trade him for her late eldest anytime. And now he has a son, who apparently is a gambler and causing trouble, which must make everything so much worse. I don't believe for a second that he dislikes Ae-sun.. I just think, he sees his brother in her, and just like his mom favored Ae-Sun's dad over him, he's watching her, again, favoring Ae-Sun over his son, repeating the cycle. I honestly believe, it's more about him and his desire to be loved and taken seriously by his mother, than it is about just wanting to be a jerk.
