I haven’t seen Jang Na-ra in anything prior to Go Back Couple, and boy, did she break my heart in this “taxi” scene.

Also, I love that this show knows how to be heart-wrenching and funny at the same time, like when Jin-joo honked her nose or when she handed over her credit card and Nam-gil slowly handed it back to her, as if he still couldn’t quite process what was happening.

And, as much as I’m curious about how Jin-joo and Ban-do will find their way back to each other, I can feel the beginnings of SLS like a cold that you know is coming but can’t stop 😣

    Love the comparison of SLS to a cold that can’t be stopped 😂

      Same here. I supported Bando and Jinjoo from the start. And I like how both 2nd leads were portrayed in GBC. They were matured and stepped back, they did not push and became nasty. All characters in GBC were great including the bad doctor ☺.

        That’s nice to hear! About the doctor I mean. Because so far he is one unredeemable jerk.

          He stays one unredeemable jerk! 😄
          I guess @katakwasabi means that he has a great characterization and ending like everybody else.

          Actually I like the actor very much so I mostly enjoyed him rather than hating him 😄

            Yes2. That is what I meant @midnight 🤣. He remains unredeemable, his characterization was great. And I’m glad for the lady who was his wife, she had a happy ending too.

      As much as Ban-do is immature and lets the weight of his 14-year-marriage dictate how he treats Jin-joo, the little signs that he still cares for her matters to me. So even if I get SLS and feel that objectively, Jin-joo is better off with Nam-gil, I’ll still be rooting for her with Ban-do, as long as that’s what she wants. How compatible a couple is isn’t quite as important as the fact that in spite of the odds, they want to be together. Looking forward to see that journey play out!

        Honestly? Jin-joo doesn’t deserve Ban-do. But I totally agree with you on how compatible a couple is isn’t quite as important as the fact that in spite of the odds, they want to be together.

          Did you mean Jin-joo doesn’t deserve Nam-gil? I’m only on ep4, so my comment was more of a supposition than a supported opinion. I think I might see what you mean soon, as I watch on!

            No, I meant JJ doesn’t deserve BD. And it is a matter of personal opinion. In my opinion BD is a very good and kind hearted man. He deserves the best. But if he loves and wants JJ, then so be it.

            @midnight Hmm, it’s true that he endures a lot of hardship and humiliation in the present day as a salesman for the sake of his family. Unfortunately, because Jin-joo doesn’t know about it, she doesn’t realise what lengths he’s going for her.

    I LOVE THIS SHOW!! I haven’t cried so much for a show in a long time. Both leads broke my heart when they cried. 💔

      Hijinks and all, it has a lot of heart! I keep finding myself wanting to watch the next episode, and yet hesitating because that means it’ll end sooner >.<
