Ratings can you hear my heart

And his step sister has a crush on him. On a side note, I loved how this doomed relationship carried over perfectly into adulthood. They were in that awkward no-where zone between siblings and lovers. And even as adults, he seemed to grasp the situation better than our little adorable lady.

She tended to simplify things and he saw how complex they were. But how naive is that? People ARE complex. See, this is what happens when you try to date someone below your intelligence level. It sucks for both parties. You gotta find your people, people. But I digress….

After the marriage of the mentally disabled man and the deaf woman, grandma starts harassing them about having babies. Which is delusional, as Ma-Ru is in no way related to either of these people… but grandma seems to have forgotten that in her drunken stupor. When tragedy strikes and the deaf stepmother meets a tragic end for doing something really, really stupid again… Ma-Ru is surrounded by dumb people.

Ma-Ru is indignant. To him its just another perfect example of how terrible his fate is surrounded by these kind but ultimately, in his eyes, pathetic people. And so he exits stage left. Because as fate and the drama gods would have it — at that same moment, another accident happened. Her reasons were twofold. One, to keep as a comfort to her own son who was now struggling with a disability due to an accident. Because though his new brother had a disability, he was otherwise on the same level.

He was smart, he was educated, and he was goal oriented — they could communicate and share life in a way that he could not share life with his real family. The rich heir had a seemingly wonderful childhood, with a stepfather and mother who doted on him, as well as a loving and kind grandfather. This was shattered after he witnessed his stepfather murder his grandfather — and fell off a ladder, injuring himself and loosing his hearing.

After that, his step father lost all affection for the boy, or perhaps he never had any and just dropped the pretense of affection. They needed each other desperately. They were strangely close because of these secrets they kept, not letting others into their small world.

Basically, she was a master schemer playing the long-con. His mother, unfortunately, though selfish and horrible, is terribly, terribly foolish above all else. Her plans are NOT thought out. Her actions are brash, harried, and short sighted. I know we are supposed to think that the happy home of the grandma, the mentally disabled man, the sweet step daughter, and the two goofy downstairs neighbors are some idealistic paradise.

But did you? I thought… Jesus, that is hell. To have to sing the same song, over and over and over again. To have to play the same games, to run through the same routines.

And grandma is a drunk. And life is a daily struggle and a repeating loop of same-ness. Rice bowl, repeat. If I were Ma-Ru, I would have never come home. Though… I would have helped out my family.

Storyline Edit. Dong Joo played by Kim Jae Won suffers from deafness, but in his pursuit of the lovely and brilliant Bong Woo Ri Hwang Jung Eum , he pretends that he can hear as well as anyone else to win her heart. However, Bong Woo Ri also deceives a loved one: in an effort to comfort her mentally slow father, she hides her brilliance. Through the love they strive to attain, Dong Joo and Woo Ri learn to communicate in ways outside of normal means in this heartwarming and romantic series.

They are drawn to each other regardless of all the other crap going on around them. Everything would be solved if they just talked to each other. They have some of the best scenes together, helped by their cuteness and great chemistry.

Whenever there was a scene between just the two of them it was like a breather from the intense plotting from the rest of the show. Cha Dong Ju was able to hide his deafness from everyone. Well, everyone but Bong Uri and her father. They were incredibly supportive even before he was aware they knew of it. Due to his mother, he always thought his deafness was something he had to hide from everyone, like it was something to be ashamed of.

And once Bong Ma Ru when he goes bad tries to use the secret of his deafness repeatedly to control Cha Dong Ju, he then has the strength to reveal it to the world.

And he literally does reveal it to the world at the launch of the cosmetic line. The world, his enemies, but most importantly his mother, who has never been able to accept it.

This is the world that I live in. I got into an accident when I was Seriously, how can you not love this hero? He has a watch, which vibrates when he has a call, or when someone is ringing the doorbell. However, time and again he takes off the watch. I also have issues with the fake breakup the couple has toward the end. Which made it to my top 5 piggy back rides list. It just irritates me. I also mentioned before, I dislike how everybody is forgiven or have hopes to be forgiven in the end.

Irredeemable Character! But no, instead they had to try and redeem him. Bad mother 1? Yeah, she was remorseful in the end, but also throughout the show she was pretty terrible. To Everyone. Bad mother 2?

This is the one I have the hardest time with. She does not deserve a happy ending. Feeds Calendar Articles Trailers. TV Shows. Edit this Page Edit Information. Watch Trailer. Buy on Amazon. Add to List. Ratings: 8. Reviews: 38 users. Score: 8. Add Cast.
