“Crash Landing on You” (CLOY) crashed in as the highest rated drama in TVN history, surpassing “Goblin” with a viewership rate of 23.249% for the final episode. It ended on an all-time high note, rendered viewers with mixed emotions of happy, poignant moments & “Post Drama Withdrawal Syndromes”.

A team of delectable stellar cast, star scriptwriter Park Ji-eun, North Korean Defector consultant, Kwak Moon Wan, make what is seemingly “impossible” into a “fantasy drama”.

Other than heartthrobs Hyun Bin & Son Ye Jin’s impeccable chemistry, the intense story line that causes you to grapple with fear of losing any of the characters, Se Ri’s self-exploration and healing journey with the accidental landing, Jeong Hyuk’s determination to not lose another person that he loves again, the wise quotes by Seung Joon that led to food-for-thought moments, Seo Dan’s 敢爱敢恨, the many hilarious and heart wrenching moments with the supporting characters, made the drama so much more captivating.

It isn’t merely the romance that melts your heart, but to a great extent how the relationships forged and 浓浓的人情味 that’s heartwarming.

CLOY’s theme revolves around “LOVE”.

It teaches one the meaning of self-love and loving others, to forget hurt and only remember people you love (and vice versa). There’s self-reflection on what is important to us, learn how to appreciate simple things in life and to show more care & concern to the ones we love.

No matter how tough life is, there is always a reason to smile. This smile is the answer to why we are pressing on. When there’s love, there’s hope.

While most would swoon over Jeong Hyuk & Se Ri’s love line, the budding romance between Seung Joon & Seo Dan grows on you over time.

It isn’t just about finding true love in times of adversity, but also forging unforgettable friendships with people they would never have known otherwise. We should all live each day to the fullest as if it is the last & tell the people we love how we really feel.

This drama has received much rave, but also backlash over sensitive political issues. North Korean defectors have complimented on how close the settings are to North Korea in reality, from frequent electricity cut off, kimchi caves, costumes, furnishings down right to the North Korean accent.

We could see the contrast in the leads’ respective lives, the environment they grew up and the circumstances which shaped their personality.

There is an interesting “role reversal” when they went to South Korea, where Jeong Hyuk became her “bodyguard”, with the 5th Infantry soldiers trying to adapt to cosmopolitan life. One would fondly recall the Jjimjilbang scenes and them trying to dress up like South Koreans with fake branded clothing.

We meet the people we meet for a reason. They found true love and healed each other in the process.

What we learnt from Jeong Hyuk is that we should always 从日常生活中，寻找那些小小的幸福。

Karma goes one round to teach Se Ri a life lesson about love, sacrifice, friendships and not to take simple things for granted. She never knew how fortunate she was before this predicament.

The love line between a conman & a proud, rich girl is not unheard of, but we love the 2nd love line so much that we wished they had more screen time together.

You will undeniably grow fonder of Seung Joon , so much so that you might have teared a little after knowing what he has gone through.

He’s one with the wits and wisdom, especially when it comes to giving love advice to Seo Dan. Seung joon reassured that she is a capable & attractive lady who is deserving of love no less, even if Jeong Hyuk loves another. We should remember, that we are all worthy to be loved.

Good things don’t come easy. You will learn to fight for it and appreciate them more. We witnessed how they gradually opened up to each other, with Seung Joon wanting to become a better person, in order to be worthy of her.

CLOY is no doubt a big scale production, from overseas filming in Switzerland and Mongolia, to having so many supporting actors. Be it the villains, 5th Infantry guys, village ajummas, Seo Dan and Se Ri’s comical family members, big name cameos like Kim Soo Hyun and Choi Ji Woo, the drama would not be as intense, exciting and “flavourful” without them.

The village ajummas did a great job in throwing us into fits of laughter. They may seem mean at first, but they are kind-hearted and would help anyone in need.

While the ending for some characters is less than satisfying, these 16 ep of “paragliding” experience with Se Ri, all cast and crew involved in “Crash Landing On You” have brought us an emotional roller coaster ride filled with much joy, warmth, solace and some tear-jerking, heartbreaking moments.

We learn that we need to be strong and believe in ourselves. If we have enough faith, we will ultimately meet the people we wish to meet again, someday.

It is a wonderful drama that has crashed deep right into our hearts and will remain deeply embedded in the many years to come.Read More →

“比起抓着不放， 放手需要更大的决心。” – 小编最喜欢的经典名言

德鲁纳酒店，散发着一股浓郁的神秘气息，令人想一层一层窥探其中的奥秘。

除了期待IU的百变造型(133套装发 – 应该是史上最多) 和时尚风, 观众也可以期待特效制造出来的惊悚元素, 主角和配角们精湛的演技，扣人心弦的故事情节和细腻的情感呈现。IU & 吕珍九的好人缘也令许多大咖级人马的客串演出，让这部剧集更加星光璀璨。

这部电视剧已打破了TVN有史以来的收视记录，平均每集的收视率是12%。

Audience can expect a world of fantasy & horror, waiting to be unraveled. It is a concoction of “The Master’s Sun”, “Goblin” and “第八号当铺”。 You would be intrigued to discover more about the sad stories that everyone brings.

While there are times when the better good such as forgiving and letting go, better appreciating and cherishing who and what we have in our lives would warm us, the ugly side of human nature such as resentment, hate, greed and selfishness would manifest themselves in many ways. Some short stories would be etched in your mind, but none would be as captivating as the strong bond of the hotel cast.

There are many “food for thought” moments, such as looking into societal problems like how cyber bullying can lead to dire consequences, how the suffering of sex tape victims remind us of the recent sex tape saga and how what we see may not be the reality.

Like some would put it, “Hotel Del Luna” is not so much about life and death and what happens in the afterlife. It is more about embracing the good, the bad, evil side of human nature, about finding love, peace, seeking forgiveness, cherishing people around you and living life to the fullest.

The Hong Sisters make a very good linkage between the mini stories to the bigger events or moral of the story till the very last scene. 整部剧集很有连贯性，而这类拍摄手法能够把观众带回之前的集数, 再重新思考一次。

每集都会有不同的小故事，但这些故事的寓意会持续地在剧集里联集着，就算到了最后一集也是如此。这就代表了编剧们放进了许多小巧思和连贯性。有些故事很感人，例如为孩子延续生命线的父母，为了不让爱人跟着自己离去而剪断了两人间的红线的鬼新娘。

他们的相遇，早已注定了结局。

因为早已预知结局，他们的爱情慢慢地因为了解而萌芽。因为早已有共识，所以也不会过于煽情。有些爱，无法长相思守, 但会永存在你心里。

原本已枯萎千年的月之树，因为粲星细心的照顾，呵护和灌溉，重新开枝散叶，满月也似乎拥有重生的机会。

They part with the belief that they would meet again.

It’s this faith that keeps the audience going too and approving that this would be the most apt ending for both Man Wol and Chan Sung, in this lifetime at least.

大致上，演员们都能掌握自己角色的细腻情感。这的确是很适合 IU 的角色，吕珍九也很能抓住观众的心。他从童星到现在，演技一天比一天纯熟。他们之间的眼神交流也是很有 Feel。

How fascinating the world of Del Luna is to a human like Chan Sung. He’s like “Alice in Wonderland” , having new things to explore everyday and plays a huge part in unraveling Man Wol’s past, which also intrigues him to want to know more about her.

From the scary makeup of the various ghosts to how the hotel transformed from a torn-down building to a castle-like building at night, looks like one that belongs to a Disney Princess. 每一集都会有一段酒店宾客的”小故事”。有些会令你额外有印象，因为它们特别引人深思，让你感慨万千。整部剧集想带过的一点就是，要放过自己，就要懂得如何宽恕他人，原谅自己。

What we see, what we thought we knew and reality can be very different.

放手比抓着不放才是真正的王道。

念力是股强大的力量。You attract what you Think”. 强烈的怨念能够毁灭一个人，也能伤害许多周遭无辜的人。这也是现今社会问题。许多人在面对生活压力无处发泄，就会在网路的世界寻找一些慰寄。但有许多网民很多时候不负责任的胡乱谩骂，也导致了许多人踏上自杀的不归路。

结局篇的节奏其实有点”赶”, 因为要送走酒店的所有职员，满月和让粲星有个 Closure. 客房主管&满月带来无数的安慰，所以她们两的离别戏会比较动人。终于理解，并不是报仇雪恨就能令自己过得更加快乐。真正放下才是对自己最大的宽恕。把所有的员工都送走之后，空无一人的酒店，有种空荡荡，凄凉的忧伤。

人都是孤独的来，也是孤独的离开，只是带了很多牵挂和放不下的。

Yeo Jin Goo has never disappointed the audience since he was a child actor. 粲星不管对待任何人都是那么的亲切友善。也因为他的真诚，温暖，爱，对满月起了好的作用。月之树开始花开花谢，满月也渐渐被她感化，展现柔弱和好的一面。

观众也很爱看满月和粲星斗嘴的画面。从起初的主仆关系，满月经常作弄怕鬼的粲星，到两人慢慢互相了解，坠入爱河后的甜蜜与即将分开的恐惧，真是令许多观众觉得他们的爱情既是那么美丽，却带点悲伤。粲星会因为满月不停地陷入危险，而满月也得不断地拯救他。他们就是这种互相依靠，分不开的缘分。

从来并不觉得IU是演技派，但这部剧能说是让她散发自然演技的机会。或许就像洪氏姐妹说的，张满月一角似乎是为她量身而定做，非她莫属。From 傲慢，刁蛮，小气，霸气十足 to the look of angst and hate in her eyes, blooming with love and sorrow at the same time, were some of the complicated emotions that she successfully portrayed.

Lee Do Hyun’s another young actor with potential. We have seen him in “30 but 17” & “Cleaning with Passion”, but he only garnered audience’s attention in “Hotel Del Luna”. 虽然P.O的演技备受争议，但贤重和宥娜的甜蜜爱情的萌芽，会让人想起初恋的时刻。观众也很清楚他们之间的爱情无法长久，但就是这种酸甜的滋味才称得上是两小无猜的初恋情怀。

所谓”不是冤家不聚头”，延宇和美羅在今世成了情侣。时常吵闹的原因也因为前世是”冤家”。或许这对他们两是个可以弥补对方的机会。在戏里的麻姑神以许多不同的面貌出现。有时候会帮人牵姻缘线，有时会帮助灵魂解开心中的结再上路，但有些时候又会无情似地消灭一些亡魂。

粲星问为何麻姑神就不能以好的面貌出现来帮助需要的灵魂? 她的答复是，如果以大家想要的面貌出现，又有谁会真正在意呢?

人生不一定会完全公平，神明在戏里也对每件事情和人类有着不同的见解。

开放式的结局或许会让观众看得意犹未尽，但也正因如此，才是现下最妥善的安排。观众可以凭自己的想像，来刻画出心里的结局。

虽然观众都敲碗希望金秀贤会演出续集，但洪氏姐妹并没有开拍续集的念头。这就是见好就收的道理。就让一切那么的有点缺憾美，有点悲伤，但庆幸的落幕。有时候，有些缺憾反而更加圆满。

Hotel Del Luna 不仅仅是部悬疑，惊悚，喜剧爱情偶像剧。

它之所以那么成功，是因为故事情节能让我们更清楚地认清一些事情，和开始探讨和珍惜我们在短暂生命里所遇到的人们，和想完成的事情。千万不要等到一切都太迟了才来后悔或感到惋惜。

Start living your life now, if you haven’t.

Hotel Del Luna may have ended its chapter, but its legacy will be etched in our hearts.

相信大家对香港的医疗剧集如”妙手仁心”，”仁心解码”，”On Call 36 小时”系列等，并不会感到陌生。

“白色强人”也程搭了和医护人员息息相关的列车。那这部剧和以上剧集有什么不同呢?

“白色强人”之所以收视率超高和深受观众欢迎，除了描述医护人员的日常，手术的逼真程度和血腥指数，不拖泥带水的感情线，也道出了人性的真，善，美，贪婪与丑陋的不同面貌。故事剧情的写实感更让大众产生共鸣，息息相关的社会议题，甚至影响所有港民的医疗改革和政治问题，也能让大家进行讨论和自我检讨，可谓是部有教育意义和扣人心弦的电视剧。

这部剧集的演员阵容甚之强大。除了看”老戏骨”姜大卫和郭晋安在戏里大飙演技，你争我夺之外，这也是郭晋安在TVB的告别之作。另一个吸睛点就是大家都想看马国明和唐诗咏在戏里能不能擦出爱的火花。

“白色强人”覆盖的范围很广，除了讲述香港的医疗构架，政治课题，民众能不能负担就医的问题，让观众更了解医护人员每天面对的”十万火急”工作的情况。

这是个分秒必争的工作，医护人员必须果断，而不能优柔寡断。在面临难题时，该如何取舍才是对病患最大的利益?

故事节奏方面不会太快或散漫，也没有拖泥带水的感情纠葛。就算隔个一两天再继续，还是可以促进你的兴趣 follow 下去。可以看得出演员们都很努力的背下所有有关医疗用语和揣摩如何动手术的手法。

演员们都没以往戏剧里的那种太过”直接了当”的脸部表情或特别高潮起伏的情绪。或许是我们太习惯戏剧那种较为夸大的表情和情绪，而忽略了现实生活中会是什么样子的。但一到了故事的结尾倒数阶段，剧情更紧凑，也看得到两位主角的爆发力。戏里的其他主角与配角，甚至”奸角”都演得不错。

“白色强人”所讨论的课题:

1) 程序重要还是救人重要?
2) 权力会使人腐化量权利
3) “医疗改革”究竟是对民有益还是有害的政策?

4) 应变能力和医术同等重要

医护人员时时刻刻都得做好准备，以应对任何突发情况。就算医术再高超，如果不能及时做决定，也会带来沉重的后果。

5) 现今社会的精神压力和息息相关的社会议题

戏里出现的社会问题其实有很多，例如青少年堕胎案，流浪汉因没钱就医而拒绝医治，模范生因为压力而吸毒，但父母却不知情，父母因离异问题，大吵大闹而导致孩子酿成车祸，等。

6) 白色强人并不是超人

医生也是人，尽管他们竭尽全力医治病患，但他们并不能确保能够救每一条人命。他们虽然天天都面对生死，但当病人失救时，他们也会额外难过。

只要是人类，都会有私心。例如，并不想医治犯人，让他们在世上继续伤害其他人，或有想过如果病患不幸逝世，就能把器官留给需要器官移植的家人或朋友。

7) 医不自治

所有医生面对病人时，能够做及时的判断，但对于自己或亲人，就没了那份果断，因为会有所顾虑。

8) 感情纠纷

唐明&Zoe & Kennis, 这一组”三角恋”应是大家最关注和期待的感情线。现实生活中以”兄妹”相称，但观众都觉得马明和诗泳郎才女貌，很想把他们凑在一块儿。他们在戏里是一对离婚夫妻。虽然因为无法充分理解唐明长期不能陪伴在身边而导致离婚，但 Zoe 也因为和唐明在同家医院工作，而开始更了解对方。唐明也学着多花时间配 Zoe聊天。大家也因为理解而复合。

当Zoe 发现闺密 Kennis 爱上同一个男人时，我们并没有看到撒狗血淋似的尔虞我诈，或在背后搞小动作，而是以诚实和成熟的态度来面对。

YT为了利益，而任由两个喜欢他的女生在他身边默默守候，为他付出。你可以说 YT 很自私，也很会”摆布”这两个爱他的女人。虽然我们清楚知道他对康桥没什么非分之想，但却看不出他只是把 Ah Yan当成可以威胁吕院长的筹码，爱惜的徒弟，还是不敢表态。

德仔& Ceci 这一对应该是最”两小无猜”的欢喜冤家，而且大家都会觉得他们很 sweet. 有些时候，日久生情就是那么简单的一回事。

这部剧集虽然也有些不完美的部分，但能够把如此多题材浓缩在25集里，又不让观众觉得拖泥带水，把现实成面赤裸地摆在观众面前，让大家多多思考社会议题，已经是很成功的了。

续集的呼声很高，小编也希望能够如愿以偿。毕竟好的剧本，好的剧情，好的演员，好的默契是多难得的一个 Package.

如果能够回到1999年，那美好的年代。。

你会试图改变些什么? 最想做的又是什么?

I may be slow to jump onto this journey to the past with “Go Back Couple”, but it’s better late than never. It’s a 温馨小品 that you should watch, or even re-watch since it relates so closely to our daily lives.

A trip back to 18 years ago could be nostalgic, but it also brings back bittersweet memories.

This drama is not just about dealing with marriages, but all your interpersonal relationships. It’s about every aspect of life, the rationale behind your decisions and their consequences, youth, first loves, growing up, dreams, passion, etc. It makes you reflect and laugh at the same time. 充满感触和感慨。

I’m not a fan of drama themes with going back to the past or future, for the ending is definitely about parting and returning to where they belong. You can relate well to the drama because of real life struggles that we face in our 30s, the many regrets and “What If”s in life. Traveling back in time allows the leads to revisit, mend or rekindle relationships with their family members and friends in the past.

人生就是一段旅程。能够回到过去，或许就像戏里说的”也许我们只是暂时去了一趟旅行，而所有的旅行终究是为了回归。是为了更爱惜自己的所有，才选择出发的。 ”

If you like 那些年 or 我的少女时代, you should like this too. I like how they go back to the past and look the same as they were in their 20s but with a more matured mind set of a 38-year old. You would laugh at yourself for all the silly things you did when you were in your 20s.

The breaking point of their relationship is the death of Jin Joo’s mother. It is a painful void that cannot be erased from their hearts.

我们常听说”时间是最好的良药”，但并非所有的情况都是如此。有些事情放在心里不说，以为时间会冲淡一切。但其实只会让彼此间的疙瘩越来越多，像雪球一样滚。

I like how the story started with the wedding ceremony that was so sweet & comical, for we know the “happily ever after” in romance comedies don’t exist in reality.

接下来的画面就是14年后离婚，摧残的模样，形成了强烈的对比。结了婚之后, 爱情会由农转淡，渐渐转换成亲情，感情和责任。这是种相呼应的关系。或许小时候童话故事看多了，听多了，人们都会对婚礼和婚姻有着不切实际的憧憬，但慢慢长大之后，许多人都会对婚姻有莫名的恐惧。

婚姻是爱情的结晶，终点。。还是坟墓?

之前浪漫的二人世界，被现实狠狠不断冲击着。天天只为了赚钱养家，照顾家人和孩子，几乎没了原有一个人时的自由和自我。所谓的”梦想”更是不复存在。开始埋怨对方，厌倦彼此，有了倦怠感，互相折磨。

夫妻之前少了沟通，也就变得很少会体恤对方，站在对方的角度思考。

Jang Nara still looks quite pretty and youthful, though she made herself look like a shagged housewife. She portrayed the agonizing parts about being a mid 30s housewife vs a 20-year old college student very well. Son Ho Jun is very comical but he can also make you tear with some of his more somber moments.

They both experienced heart thumping moments again when they met their first loves back in varsity days. Well, it does take you on a memory lane.
Their chemistry is very much on point, not overly dramatic or lacking. They are definitely a “make-believe” couple that we see in our daily lives.

After being together for 18 years, they lost the passion and took things for granted. They tried to avoid each other at all costs when they returned to the past, but they eventually realized they still love and care for each other.

Jang Ki Young did a pretty good job too. It’s a 10 yrs difference between him & Jang Nara. You fully understand why Jang Nara thanked him at the awards for being able to look at her like a college girl.
Love is never about the conditions or how well someone treats you. It has to be something reciprocal.

故事策划方面还挺 detailed 的，例如90年代发生的大件事和许多90年代流行的发型和服饰，还有当年的 Pager, Flip hand phones, cassette, video tapes, movie DVDs.里头也看到了”阿飞正转”的 DVD, 听见红极一时的”Titanic”主题曲”My Heart Will Go On”，还有1999年的”世界末日”论。

回到1999年在念大学时，珍珠变年轻，肌肤紧绷，没了鱼尾纹，恢复纤细的身材，应该是所有女人都向往的。但看见已逝去的亲人的那份悸动。。会令人感觉既温馨又心酸。

那些念大学时的校庆和 Open House，还真的让人仿佛回到了学生时代。他们当时最想做的是即兴旅行。The carefree days when you could just go BBQ, camping and have fun with your friends. 顿时，好想脱离只有还贷款的年代。

It’s a chance for them to regain those feelings they had when they were younger, so that they understand why they did what they did.

这也算是上天想给他们重新认识彼此，也更了解自己的机会。

他们两人都很勇于地争取自己想要的。但这一切也会连带地影响到其他人的未来。

我想除了半岛和珍珠的感情线，最感人的就是珍珠和妈妈的感情线。

The scenes on how she tried to make up for the lost time and cherished every single moment and create more memories with her mum, would grip your hearts. The final scene when they bade farewell and her mum finding out that she came from the future, was heart breaking enough to make me tear nonstop at 3am.

珍珠20岁时是”校花”类型，但成了 ahjuma 后，别人都只是为了卖保险而靠近她。

崔半岛年轻时血气方刚，脾气火爆，容易闯祸，长大后却得看别人颜色受人凌辱来谋生。

其实踏入社会多年后，我们都只是忙着赚钱，而忽略了自己和深爱的感受，也变得不那么经常沟通。有些时候，放慢脚步，试着从不同角度看事情，会让我们变得没那么暴躁，也更懂得体恤别人。

大家对初恋的定义都不一样。是第一个令你怦然心动，第一个接吻，或第一个交往的人呢?看到主角们在争论自己那最美丽的初恋时, 嘴角会不禁的上扬。

一个想要的是陪着她，不是守护她的人,不是顾着赚钱而是陪她一起吃饭，一起哭和悲伤的人。另一个则只想让她笑, 再也不想看见她哭。

两人都以自以为是为了对方好的方式来相处，却不知这却渐渐地加深恋人之间的磨擦。
Communication is the key to any relationship.

世界上没有什么是理所当然的。我们往往对于习惯的事物，别人对我们的好，都习以为常。不是所有事情都 comes in a package.

这戏想带给大家最大的message 就是人与人之间最重要的就是沟通，不要把一切都当作理所当然，要珍惜现在和眼前人。

This is a heartwarming drama, which gives us some important life lesson. The script is meaningful; the main and supporting cast delivered their roles well with good chemistry. It gives you a warm feeling after watching the entire drama.

希望大家都有所领悟和收获，也能把受益的运用在各自的生活里。Read More →

观赏了这部剧集， 你会深刻地体会到”平凡既是甘苦，也是甜蜜”。

除了那命运作弄人的相遇和悲惨的13年改变了许多人的人生，其他都是一些生活里的琐碎大小事。剧集里没有所谓的”奸角”。原以为这种”平凡无奇”的剧情，很难让观众感兴趣。但就因剧情写实，也很励志，收视率才能截截上升。

除了有可爱”小鲜肉”和昏迷了13年后醒来，仍然是17岁心智的30岁”少女”的搞笑甘苦爱情故事外，还有许多关于亲情，友情，和平凡人在现实社会里跌跌撞撞的机遇。你会看见这社会的冷酷与市侩，例如光靠有实力但没有文凭，或者是年纪大了一点，就很难找到工作。看剧里的主人翁们如何从不相识，到互扶持，交心，信任和一起走过人生重要的里程碑。我更爱的是戏剧里许多很有人生哲学的”金句”。

每个人物(即便是配角)也有着自己一段不为人知的故事。

虽没什么大起大落，但就是琐碎的平凡小事才会让你心里的涟漪波澜。我们都是心里住着长不大的小孩的，佯装成是大人的小孩。

They are strangers living under one roof, who grow to be like a family. However, there is a point of connection that is unknown to all till the ending – the accident on that fateful day.

Woo Jin 和 Seo Ri 两人在剧中起了微妙的互补作用。

一个为了好心帮助人而变成”害死”人，从此封闭自己，再也不对任何人或事，抱有热忱。另一个原有大好前途的”未来小提琴家”，一夕之间失去了家人，朋友，梦想，甚至自己的青春和13年的宝贵时间。

Seo Ri 虽因昏迷了13年，有点难适应一下子就是30岁的心态，但她却关关难关，关关过。

Shin Hye Sun 把这个角色掌握得非常优异。在苏醒后惊觉她的世界都变了，还在努力复健，寻回亲人和朋友之时，也显露了和这个时代格格不入的尴尬。她的表情动作也许会令人爆笑，但如果我们也一下子到了13年后的未来，也会显得那么突兀。

去应征侍应生被嫌太老, 去当小提琴助教又被嫌没正式文凭。虽尝尽了世间冷暖，但她仍然不放弃。即便没有文凭，她也没有气馁，想靠自己的双手养活自己。因手指头僵硬的关系，她需要克服许多障碍才能练回小提琴，只是无法回到之前的水准。她常告诉自己，那是她人生的”中场休息”。

Woo Jin 一直是 Seo Ri 的支柱，努力隐藏自己心里的恐慌和不安，也导致他也一直活在”17岁”的阴影里, 裹足不前。

严格说起来，他们都是外貌老成了，但内心深处还是属于那17岁的状态。所以两人的相处都帮助对方一起成长。

很多时候，是我们一味地觉得事情就是如此。但每件事情都是有两面性的。

虽然他把自己伪装的非常冷漠，事不关己的模样，但一旦 Seo Ri 遇到苦难或遭人欺负，他都会挺身而出。过了些许时间，大家都看得到他的转变。笑容变多了，做事也很积极，渐渐地释放封锁已久的真实个性。

他成了 Seo Ri 的朋友，知己和家人。

虽然 Seo Ri 成长的比较快,但要看 Woo Jin 因为”毁了” Seo Ri 的人生而深深自责的痛处，还真令人心疼。

他最终懂得逃避不是办法，选择留下来面对问题，做个有担当的成年人。

这两人的相处到相恋，充满欢笑泪水，和满满的感动。

Yoo Chan 是个非常乐于助人的阳光少年。除了偶尔流露出来17岁少年的懵懂模样，因为还在摸索着成长的过程，但他其实心智上比许多同龄人还要来得成熟。

他是第一个对 Seo Ri 敞开心扉，接纳她的朋友，让她在这即陌生又熟悉的家里，感到无比的温暖。

他和舅舅 Woo Jin 感情堪好, 但最担心是舅舅一遇到难题，就会”离家出走”，流浪个几年。

Jennifer 是大家最坚实的后盾，为他们打点日常的种种，也在他们遇到困难时及于安慰和开导，加上行动上的支持。感觉比较像”妈妈”，而不是帮佣的角色。但没人知道她的”木纳”是为了惩罚自己，因为不想让自己过得快乐或过于悲伤，而是要在中间取得平衡点

我喜欢 Woo Jin 和 Jennifer 在家后院的互动。他们其实都很关心彼此，也把他们各自所经历的种种都看在眼里。 平时不大会讨论，都会用”金玉良言”来开导或鼓励对方。

这是她对 Woo Jin 的忠告: “伤心和痛苦的事情，都会随着时间的流逝而慢慢被冲淡。但是如果选择逃避，只会往往让人错过那些正在发生的好的事情。到时候后悔的话，也改变不了任何事情，因为已是于事无补。”

其实她的这番话很有道理。我们往往都会在发生许多事情后, 认为不去触碰它, 事情就会慢慢淡化。但其实，有些事情乘早摊开来说，会比较有帮助。
Jennifer’s quote for Woo-jin: “The only cure for sadness is to do something, by J.H. Lewis.”
On Jennifer’s last day, Woo Jin said to her: “”I hope you smile when you’re happy and cry when you’re sad from now on. I hope you don’t live with your eyes closed anymore.””

大家都希望 Jennifer 能真正的快乐，也不希望她一只因为过去而惩罚自己。

As we age, we learn that dreams may get further from reality. Just like Seo Ri’s case, she didn’t get to be a violinist but she could still play violin for those who appreciate and need music therapy.

Similarly, Yoo Chan could have joined an adult coach team but he chose to remain with his school team.

It is not always about going for the best opportunities that would make you successful, but going for what suits you best.

Kim Tae Rin is a manifestation of our most inert insecurities.

她虽然已是世界顶级的小提琴家，但内心一直处在不安之中。从小就把 Seo Ri 当成是威胁，拉小提琴对她来说只是个责任，而非出于真正的喜欢和享受。

戏里最”凄惨”的是 Hyung Tae 吧? 从17岁就喜欢 Seo Ri, 就算在她昏迷的这13年都细心照料她, 可惜最后换来的并未如他所愿。

这世界是不会因为我们要它变得怎样，而能一一如愿。

There are not so many “What Ifs” in life. IF he was the one she saw the moment she woke, how different it might have been?

“Don’t think, Feel!”

这是在剧里听到最多的”金句”。的确，许多时候会因为我们把事情想得太复杂，有太多顾虑，而裹足不前。若试着跟着心里的声音迈步向前的话，或许就能成功。

有一幕是 Seo Ri 对 Hee Soo 说她其实很羡慕她，因为她就是 Seo Ri 心里想象30 岁该有的模样。而 Hee Soo 的解答是”其实很多人的心智和念书时是一样的，只是按照世上想要的30岁，活成”30岁”该有的模样。”

其实，我们都是披着大人外皮的小孩。或许心智还像个小孩，但行动却需要附和所谓的大人该有的担当。

“人生的 intermission 就是等着精彩的下一次演出，暂时停止的时间。 不是结束，而是暂时休息。”

休息是为了走更长远的路，适当的放慢脚步，让自己有喘气和沉淀的机会，未尝不是件好事?

很多时候，我们往往都过于死心眼，所以才会一直沉浸在过去种种的不幸, 而没发现其实有很多扇门正为我们打开着。

该看这部剧，因为它会让你在短短的16小时里，获益良多。Read More →
