Incredible Things

He's also a complete mess. You can tell the life he's lived in order to keep his family safe ever since he was a child, in that he doesn't give a shit before doing something absolutely insane in order to fix things. Throw all social decorum out the window in order to get close to yichan and fulfill his dreams? Absolutely. Try to woo an ahjumma-he-doesn't-know-is-eunyu in order to salvage his parents relationship? Absolutely. Of course the stakes are high but he chooses the most insane ways to help. Like I would at least hesitate before jumping off a cliff.

Speaking of the cliff scene- that might be my favorite scene of the show. You feel his desperation. You feel how scared he is. And you see that he's still just a kid. The one thing this show did amazingly is show that despite his mature facade, despite the multitudes of burdens he takes on, despite how reliable he is, he's just a kid. He breaks down, he misses his parents, he misses the protection and guidance they offered. Eungyeol crying as he held on to yichan at the beach broke me. It was such a stark reminder that oh this boy is 18 and lost and has to carry all this by himself. How many other dramas show vulnerability like this? Or depict teenage characters as teenagers, who do stupid, insane things, and who at the end of the day are still figuring out life as they go, no matter how mature they may seem. It makes eungyeol seem human, and not just the typical teenage character in dramas. And it's not just eungyeol that's shown this way, all of the teenage cast feel like high schoolers - a bit immature and lost, but still trying their best

So I'm glad he gets to enjoy moments of youth he didn't exactly get in his own life. I'm glad he has all those memories with the band. I'm glad he meets eunyu who brings out the kid in him, who breaks through the mature side of him, till they're bickering and laughing and finally looking like the kids they are.

"Dad is singing with my great-grandma who passed away when I was little.I heard my great-grandma checked multiple times a day whether or not I responded to sounds when I was a baby.Then…when I was old enough to communicate with adults…Then she finally breathed her last, as if she could put her worries to rest."

" I didn't know that my dad laughed this much and was so chatty and loud when he was 18. So how did Dad become deaf?Great-grandma must've been utterly heartbroken…when she saw that happen to her dear grandson. What really happened to Dad? "
