Yeah, yeah, I know it is just a drama, but boy did this make me MAD!

The “after accident” Kang Seok gained a lot more memory-space if you want to put it like this, but kept most of his previous traits, minus the horrible memories.

And that, my dear is definitely not a dummy-genius transition.
PS. I know I sound like I’m grilling you with this comment, but I’m in a sour mood atm, apologies for that. Oh, and the only thing I’m grilling here is the word “dummy” attached to such a character, even Jae-In didn’t manage to redeem herself from such an atrocity, I don’t care how cutely she said it.

It’s a reasonable assumption- he’s found as an older teen, not an infant, but his hands are soft and he’s obviously lived well in spite of recent hardships, and his first word was Mom. He knows he didn’t hatch from an egg nearly full grown, so he must have had parents at some point, and it’s not all that far fetched to assume he had them recently.

I actually do know somebody who suffered from ‘selective amnesia.’ It was an illness with a high fever and possibly something like a stroke- they were never completely sure. He had married kids and grandkids in their teens and younger, but when he woke up in the hospital he didn’t know who he was nor did he remember any of them. He could talk, and he remembered songs and he could read and do math and drive a car, etc. He remembered that he was a Christian. He basically could do all the same things he could do before, he just didn’t know his name or who anybody was.

Seems like he gradually remembered his parents and siblings, but the last I heard (five years later), he still didn’t remember anything that had happened after something like 17 years of age.

He stayed married to his wife, and they traveled around reintroducing him to his kids (the kids all served in the military and were scattered. one of the sons was a friend of mine, which is how I knew about it).

So while I find the amnesia plots overdone frequency wise, I don’t often find them all that farfetched.

That’s true.

Well, what I meant was that it was a bit weird to have that time leap all of a sudden. The main character changed loads but all the others seem just the same. So I would have preferred to have that time leap at the end of the episode so there would have been a little break to adjust to it.

But well, after watching episode it doesn’t really matter anymore xD

I hope Park Sang Min will show his full potential in this drama as well. I haven’t seen Giant.

You don’t have to take literally everything I write…

I think it’s Se Kwang’s personality so far that hasn’t allowed that. He’s been pretty steady on his frankly-my-dear-I-don’t-give-a-damn attitude and he’s supposed to be seen as a cold villain.

His character in ‘Giant’ was a good guy, so Park used his poker face very well for the front the character had to put up for the bad guys, while emoting wonderfully during the moments the character was being himself.

The team knows his capabilities and I do think they will use him well once again. It’s too early right now.

As for looking the same after all that time, a lot of the characters are old enough to have some gray hair in the past already, so everyone going gray would be trying too hard. If they all dye their hair for their image, they’d dye it 10 years later as well. I do think it will happen, but maybe in the next time skip.

On the contrary I am really happy Oh Ji Hwan is finally out! I love him and when he finally appeared I almost squealed, no matter how freaky that sounds xD His character is so adorable once again. And he can even pull that stupid hairstyle xD

I love it how Se Kwang gets to raise his tiger after all. This is a perfect revenge for his evil deeds. One day Cha Don will find everything out but I guess that day is far faaar away.

The time leap was kind of freaky for me. They should have done it at the end of the episode and given some time for the viewers to adjust. Now then, some 10 years passed and everyone kinda looks the say, no gray hair?

Kim Soo Mi is doing great job as a fierce loan shark mother^^
