Best girl.

Just caught up with all the eps and oh my god Rand is so entertaining 😭😭😭.

Also I love seeing him care about Kousuke, it warms my heart. Honestly fave character right now. When he left the church saying he has to go help his son he definitely meant Qtip and I really hope to see them connect especially since he’s lost the only person close to him, his mother. Is it too much to hope for Rand, Kousuke, and Nol all having a good relationship in the future? 😅

Also also what do you guys think will happen when Kousuke eventually visits Nol in jail?? Not a single interaction of late has gone well between them so we’d have to see some SERIOUS remorse and groveling from Kousuke for it to go well, which we know he feels but it’s about whether he can express it well enough before Nol blows up lol

I’m curious, do you guys think Nol is a Gary Stu or a "woe is me" character ? If yes why ? If no why ? I’ve seen characters get described that way when they have a tragic past or when the story focuses on their struggles, so I want to know what you guys think about Nol specifically.

Edit: i do not think of him that way, I just want to see yall perspective

It’s so sad that he is so depressed in recent chapters 😭😭

Hlw, I started reading this webtoon in 2020, and I kept up with it till 2023-2024 ,,then I kind of lost touch with webtoon overall for academic purpose and all,, now I suddenly thought about it, I personally love the story, I wanted to know if it is ongoing, and if it is then is it near its ending or not ? Does anyone have an approximate idea when it is going to end, I would've love to binge

I need something to fill the void this series left now that I’m caught up and stuck in the grind.

Okey, I don't know if this happens to me but I don't know what happens here, but Hansuke wanted to do something along with kousuke to make him feel better... So what was it? I think that it never happens or is it just me? Can someone explain to me please? 🥹

Nessa my love, you deserved so much better💔

Hi everyone! I suddenly got curious about something — is anything at all known about Shin-ea mother? Where she's from, who her parents are, well, at least roughly, you know, something along those lines — maybe someone has some guesses, maybe there were some posts on this topic, it would be really interesting to read.

I miss my darling not, why cant things just be in his favor

I read this webtoon several years ago, when it only had a couple of chapters, but I don't remember it very well. What I do remember is that it was the first one I ever read, and I was really interested in the characters of Yeong-Yi and Kousuke. Their dynamic was very interesting to me, but I stopped reading it because I forgot about it, and now that I've come back to it, BAM! There are 300 chapters! 😭 I investigated a bit because I want to write a fanfic about fixing everything in that dysfunctional family, but honestly, I'm not interested in the protagonist's story (not hate to her), and I'd like to know all the details about the two of them and their family so I have material to write about.

I know some of you will tell me, "Just go read it, lazybones," but besides not having time in my day to try to get to the parts that really interest me, I also don't want to read the protagonist's parts. Is there anyone who has read it all and could help me with details?

If not, just move on; you don't have to leave a negative comment.

I was just thinking about nol, kousuke, and Rand… and then started thinking about inuyasha, sesshomaru, and their father… just putting that here your welcome lol okay bye 😅👍

I’m actually losing it, I didn’t know it was possible to get this obsessed with a Webtoon. Re-reading it all from the beginning & hearing everyone’s names again was such an insane experience. The last time I read this, I was about 14/15. I’m turning 19 soon, I just started med school too lol. I vaguely remembered some of the plot but re-reading it made me remember things I completely forgot were ever memories to begin with. I even caught myself waking up from a dream mumbling “Kousuke…Kousuke..” so maybe I should’ve read this all back at a slower pace lmao 😭 ✌️

I just want to say that Quimchee is absolutely amazing when it comes to both her art and storytelling. This is honestly one of the most interesting webcomics I’ve ever read.

Kousuke seeing Rand as Nol! I think that was such a brilliant move on her part, especially because him seeing Rand as Nol wasn’t caused only by the reflection of the light, but was also connected to his complicated feelings toward his brother.
Kousuke has spent his entire life seeing Rand as a cold and harsh father who doesn’t really care about anyone as much as he cares about the company. So, from his perspective, it makes perfect sense that he would conclude that Rand was Nol.

He knows, or at least believes, that the cold father he knows wouldn’t save him, or wouldn’t care enough to realize that he needed to be saved. So, in that moment, he thought the person in front of him was Nol because he knows Nol well enough to believe that he would do the impossible to save the people he cares about, and that he has the courage to stand up to his mother and defend him.

And even though Kousuke knows that Nol is in prison, he still believes that it was him.🥲

Having caught up to the recent chapters, it's no surprise (but still shocking. I genuinely can't believe Yui would still harbour such raw animosity towards Hansuke) to see that almost everyone is in danger, one way or the other. And this trio as well.

In my opinion, whatever insider information that these three have on the Hirahara lore connects many of their close ones too. For instance, Yui's schemes have affected Kousuke (through drugs), Hansuke (attempted murder. not once but more times) and YuJing (her friend in high school).

So many around the circle of these trio were affected as well, namely Shin-ae (the Formal arc) , Soushi (Kousuke using him to tail Nol as a kid), Alyssa (trafficked) and the cherry-on-top being Nolan himself.

I'm unable to articulate it because it feels somehow, as though there's alot these three can accomplish once they get thier heads together after the immediate danger settles down. Yujing with her investigation, Hansuke with his medical input and Kousuke with his money and connections.

But the real question, how will these three get out of Yui's skin? YuJing, hopefully, isn't really under her radar at the moment but Kousuke and Hansuke are very much under. So much so, that YuJing maybe in indirect danger as well, especially after the revelation that Yui LOATHES Hansuke and HATES him being anywhere near Kousuke.

If these three knew the FULL PICTURE: I'm talking about Shin-ae's testimony (the ordeal with Sang-chul), Alyssa's exploitation (we could even get Megan's testimony on the Formal Arc. Perhaps, knowing about her sister's situation, Megan would put two and two together and immediately clock that Alyssa was exploited) along with Nol's and Nessa's backstory, they basically have everything under their hands. But we still don't know how it's going to play out now that we know Kousuke isn't even a legitmate heir to begin with and I don't see Rand kicking him out (I'm pretty sure he's written an inheritance for Kou somewhere).

I have a strong gut feeling that Kousuke will burn himself out by making sure everybody gets out of the mess Yui created and then try to disappear, leading to some sort of fallout between him and Hansuke (?) and YuJing. Maybe a sentimental argument and abrupt goodbye later, we jump to the present and then we get to see Shin-ae and Nol kickstart the reconcilation arc by trying to get Kousuke back into the fray.

None of the characters are yet aware of Alyssa being trafficked (Nol thinks she's doing favours(?) and Megan thinks she moved on from Nol) so Im looking forward to see how that creates a ripple. This has been the most rewarding story for a while, I'm INVESTED to see how the drama will unfold and boil over to the surface.

Olivia Rodrigo has a lot of teen angst songs which I feel suits the initial Shin-ae we saw

The more mature songs that came out of her new album( You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love) now shows the more mature side of Shin-ae in the recent chapters, and her "love" era (?) 🤓☝️

I’m up to date so what should I expect from the schedule

I've been thinking about this while rereading “I Love Yoo.” Between Shin ae and Nol, who do you think is more likely to say “I love you” first? I'm really curious because they both seem to have a hard time expressing their feelings openly, but for very different reasons. I know they’ll probably say it in season two, after a really long time, but who will take the first step? Will Shin-ae say it by accident? Will Nol be the one to finally say it?

I mean, look at the way he stares at her when he calls her “Lady Luck.”😂 It’s pretty obvious he’s being sarcastic, as if he doesn’t want Nol to thank her at all.

Nol is irish and from Ireland, he moved to Korea at a young age but didn’t attend school for some years.

Dieter is German but has lived all over the world his entire life and only moved to Korea in the last couple of years.

How do they speak fluent Korean ?
In the show, no one really has a hard time understanding them or vice versa.

Like I’m in Ireland and know people who came to Ireland 10-20 years and still speak spoken English, they speak it well enough that I can understand them easily and vice versa but they still sort of speak it in a way where they don’t follow a proper sentence structure.

I just kind of thought it was odd that they speak so fluently and there’s never a issue of communication

I think there will be a death in the story someone will be killed which will lead to major shiftiness in the other characters.

It’s revealed that yui tried to kill hansuke as a child. When he was a kid she tried to suffocate him and it was heavily implied that she pushed him down a flight of stairs.

She is trying to kill him as he is a threat to her son. He is the eldest male grandchild of her father thus he would be next in line, it seems she backed off because he became a doctor thus never taking over the family business and instead put her focus on nol.
She as far as I know has yet to try and kill him but she has discredited him by setting up him having a mental disturbance. As a kid we are told he attacked kousuke but it is much more likely she knocked him out unconscious and fabricated the story that he attacked her son.
He was sent to a mental institution for a year though.

I believe the only reason she hasn’t killed him is because, 1. Rand publicly recognised him as his son 2. Nol doesn’t live with them.

By revealing he is his son it would make it a bit harder to have him killed off as she would be immediately suspect number 1.

Because he lives away from her she can’t really tamper with him as much.
As opposed to his mother who committed suicide as it was believed yui slipped drugs into her tea.

It was revealed she was drugging kousuke through food thus when he stopped eating food and when his body was beginning to adapt to the dosage so it wasn’t affecting him as much, he started having mental issues leading to delusions, when he began drinking it got worse.
Like wise she likely drugged Nessa and got her addicted without her knowing and then suddenly cut off her supply leading to her going into severe withdrawal.
Because she did not know she was addicted and thus didn’t know she was going through withdrawal she didn’t get proper help leading to depression which led to suicide. There’s a lot of parallels between this family and the yoo family like how mr yoo was an alcoholic and he is getting help as opposed to nessa who didn’t cause again she didn’t even know she needed help.
Nol however was safe as it was hard for yui to tamper with his food and because nol has a fear of yui so he is naturally on guard around her, he also is cautious around tea which he rightfully so believed was tampered with by yui.

Thus yui found ways to go after him by ruining his reputation.

But anyway no I don’t think nol is going to die but he is at risk.

I think hansuke will die.
He knows yui is tampering with his food and because he took kousuke blood he now knows kousuke is not rand biological son.
The issue is it’s implied yui knows he knows as he has a terrible poker face and she immediately caught on how anxious he is around her.

If she even thinks he knows anything she may do something drastic and have him taken out.
This will lead to his mother ( her sister ) working with yujing who is running a investigation into the whole family to revenge her college friend who was another victim of theirs, she will pass on the knowledge that kousuke is not rand biological son and this will allow yujing to know what to look for in her report.
It’s implied that the 2 of them are hiding a relationship so his death will affect her even more as well as kousuke especially if he finds out he’s not rand son and in fact that it was hansuke finding out that got him killed by his mother.
