Life in itself can be a rollercoaster of emotions at any time. Whether happy or sad, there are always different moments people have to go through, especially while growing up. For Yoon Ju Won (Jung Chaeyeon), Kim San Ha (Hwang In Youp), and Kang Hae Jun (Bae Hyeon Seong), the saddest point of their lives is arriving right now. We’ve been watching how this trio bravely faces each struggle that has come their way, but unfortunately, some things will break their hearts in the near future.
Warning: spoilers from episodes 7-8 ahead!
After his mother returns to pay her debt to Yoon Ju Won’s father, Kang Hae Jun is left heartbroken when he knows his mother does not intend to keep her promise of going back for him. Even worse, the hopes he had for their reunion and his wish of being the one to pay back the money to the family that has cherished him vanish in an instant, making it one of the most heart-wrenching moments to watch in last week’s episodes. Despite having everyone’s support and understanding, it is clear a cloud of sadness and grief still overshadows his heart, making his already wounded spirit all the more miserable.
But his mother’s disappearance isn’t the only thing that conflicts Hae Jun. He also has to deal with the constant threat of his biological father’s presence. Although he isn’t exactly trying to harm Hae Jun, his insistence on taking him to North America makes Hae Jun so uneasy that he starts to drift apart from his true family, since he doesn’t want to cause any inconvenience to them. Hae Jun is always aware of the constant sacrifice his father makes for him and Ju Won, and after all that’s been happening to him, it is understandable that he comes to the reasonable conclusion that his time with the Yoon family might be coming to an end.
Kim San Ha has already gone through so much that I wish we could see him only walking along the flowery path. Sadly, that is far from happening. Although he still carries a lot of guilt for his sister’s passing, he found a way to make peace with it and continue with his life. The only thorn in his life is his toxic relationship with his mother. However, in a tragic and cruel turn of events, an accident puts her and him in a new position in their relationship, something that nobody could have ever predicted. Admittedly, as selfish and superficial as his mother is, seeing her losing her life in the blink of an eye is too hard to watch for anybody.
Being the way San Ha is, he immediately starts to shoulder everything on his own, from looking after his younger sister and his mother in the hospital to being apart from Ju Won and the support of his family. His heart, which was already confused with his feelings for Ju Won, seems to get clear and reach a conclusion about what she means to him after being forced to stay away from her. Nonetheless, he is still unable to even word this out due to the difficult situation he is in. Ultimately, the most painful thing to watch is the moment he can go back home, only to realize that soon his world and life will change forever.
While her two brothers are undergoing this turmoil of emotions and situations, Ju Won remains the only sunshine that can bring a bit of light into their lives. She does her best to cheer up and help everyone around her, from her family to her friends. Her unwavering personality makes her always look for a way to brighten up the mood of San Ha and Hae Jun, even if she doesn’t always understand what is happening to them. So when she is unable to be around San Ha, especially when she knows he needs her the most, she starts to feel restless and insecure.
Unfortunately, her worst fears come to a reality when she learns that San Ha and Hae Jun will leave her behind. She hears the news that the two kids, who lived with her as a family for almost 10 years, will be going away to be with their biological parents. And it shakes her to her very core. Though both of them have valid reasons and try to do what’s best for everyone, the affliction is inevitable. She will have to learn to live on her own, and they also will have to be apart from the comfort and love of the only family they’ve ever known. So you cannot miss the upcoming episodes of this show, where we will surely get to see a whole brand new face of this beloved family.
