[mslee's thoughts] My Spring Days Episodes 5 and 6 Screen caps Review

Thoughts 

I love the pacing of this drama. I think a lot more will unravel and it's good that the writer is not dragging the story or the love triangle. It's still the early part of the story but the two brothers already talked about their feelings openly, although the younger brother had made his hyung knew his fears of losing his girlfriend to him again. There is tension between two brothers but I think it is good that they are open about it even though it is making each one awkward and feel like the other one is a threat.

Is there really an explanation about having affinity or attachments to the people around the donor when one received a heart transplant? I have read a book and watched movies talking about this kind of dilemma that's why patients and donors or family of the donors are not allowed to meet each other to avoid this kind of situations. I am not an expert about this kind of things so maybe I will just leave my thoughts about this. I just shared what I think because basically, this is what is being implied in this drama. That because Bom Yi had received the heart of Kang Dong Ha's wife, she has been having a special feelings for his family. 

I think I can understand where Kang Dong Wook is coming from. He felt the betrayal before when he lost his childhood friend to his brother, but then he did not really lost her because she was not his in the beginning. He was just too late to express his feelings or maybe his brother already had her attention and Dong Wook really had no chance after all. But that pain remained and became his fears, thinking that his brother is better or superior than him. But I like how Dong Ha is really understanding his younger brother. There are some moments that I feel that Dong Wook is being arrogant just because he is a doctor just to show that he has good educational background than his brother. I feel annoyed with Dong Wook whenever he speaks coldly towards his hyung. 

I like how the writer has made Bom Yi an outspoken person. She has been true to her feelings whatever they are and this makes her honest somehow. She can't hide her thoughts and emotions which makes her character refreshing. She shows when she is confused. She shows when she is hurt. She does not mind if either Dong Wook or his brother Dong Ha is in front of her, she just speaks her mind and tells them what she thinks even if she sounded ignorant or innocent of how she honestly feels. Of course, it only made the brothers feel burdened or scared of what will be the outcome of the situations they are all in.

I think destiny is playing with them especially with Bom Yi and Dong Ha. Their world has become small. Bom Yi has come to love the children. Dong Ha came to like her. And if their accidental meetings are to be interpreted, Bom Yi is getting attached to Dong Ha and not finding it weird or questionable. She enjoys his company. She finds herself thinking  of him. Which is so opposite when she was with Dong Wook during their picnic with the children. She was happy while taking care of the children but when she was alone with Dong Wook, her face was not happy. She could not smile the way she smiled when she looks at the children.

The story showed how Dong Ha understands Bom Yi and her passions and dreams. When the incident at the kitchen happened, when Dong Ha got wounded while trying to pacify the intruder [the former supplier gone wild in the kitchen] the management has decided to bring a new company that would manage the foods in the hospital, in this case, Dong Ha's company got the rights to operate. Bom Yi was one of the previous staffs that got fired. Every one around her, even her parents and Dong Wook told her it is time to stop working and just focus on their coming wedding. No one even bothered to ask how she feels. Dong Ha knew that's why he was disappointed when she rejected his offer to work again. Well, the reason she rejected was because she does not want to ask favors or received anything from him after he rejected her soup and told her to stop meeting him.

But in the end, she felt grateful that he understands her. I think this is the moment when she started to realized that she has to live her own life and not listen to what others want her to do. She will make her own decisions. She might have felt suffocated of her mother's continuous interference on her affairs or how Dong Wook is treating his brother. She wore the bracelet which Dong Ha gave his wife. The bracelet that the wife gave her as a thank you gift when she found the daughter a long time ago. Bom Yi slid the box containing the necklace on the table towards Dong Wook. She is returning the engagement gift.

The story has covered a lot in this back to back episodes showing the viewers where Bom Yi's heart is leaning to. By the end of episode 6, the secret is finally out. Dong Wook told Dong Ha why Bom Yi is feeling that way towards them. She received the heart of his wife's.

Will this revelation turn around the story?
