dog of spring

long long ago

There is a puppy who is good at hiding his heart

puppy tethered to the shade of a tree

It always wags its tail and loves to act like a baby

So the people in the village called it the dog of spring.

But the puppy who is having fun with the kids during the day

only at night

secretly crying

In fact, the dog of Haruhi wants to break the collar

Run and play in the spring fields

but it can't do that

So I cry sadly every night

whistling

someday

I whispered in my heart to the dog of the spring day

"

Hey, why don't you break off your collar and run away?

"

The Dog of Spring replied...

"

I've been tied up for too long...

So forgot how to get rid of the collar...

"

………………………………………………..

long long ago

in a nice village

The villagers adopted a puppy

Tether the puppy in the shade

Puppy sees villagers who adopted him

always wagging its tail happily

around the villagers

Or crouching at the feet of the villagers and acting like a baby

for the villagers

puppy just like spring

warm and alive

So the people in the village call the puppy "the dog of spring"

day after day

puppy having fun with children during daytime

Always crying secretly in the dark

I once thought that I and the villagers were mutual domestication

But gradually I understood from the backs of the villagers turning and leaving.

Just a puppy in captivity

Trapped in the shade of this seemingly benevolent but cruel tree

Every night the spring dog fantasizes about breaking his collar

the field in spring

running wildly

play as you like

The next second is sad to discover

You can't actually do anything

The dog of spring who hides these pains in his heart

only weeping sadly

just keep whimpering

one day

There is a small voice deep inside the puppy

Inquiring about the dog of spring

"

Hey, why don't you break off your collar and run away?

"

Always turn your back to your inner dog

Looking back at his heart, he replied like a sigh

"

I've been tied up for too long...

So forgot how to get rid of the collar...

As the years go by

We grow up slowly

in the days of stumbling

learned to compromise

but lost the courage to step out of the comfort zone

learned to accept

I can't stand my true self

learned to be patient

But unknowingly weaving a net trapped myself

learned to be responsible

But forget that you are most responsible for yourself

while learning a lot

but lost what I had

"

because your heart hurts

Our bodies are honest

Crying when you feel pain

But our hearts are big liars

Even if it hurts, I will be silent

So I wait until I fall asleep

I secretly cry like a dog

"

The dog of Haruhi is bound by a collar around the neck

What traps you and me is the invisible collar inside

within the reach of the chain

I chose to pretend to be nothing

numb your heart and ignore all feelings

Or choose to open your teeth and dance your claws and pretend to be loud

Defend your broken heart

I thought I was used to this unchanging day

But why is it always when the night falls and I'm alone

An uncontrollable whimper came from within

-

"

But I remember...

"I don't need an ignorant daughter like you!"

I told her I didn't need to...

her kind of daughter

If I knew it was the last time

I absolutely...

I won't say such cruel words

absolutely not

"

Facing unbearable pain

Is it a human instinct to choose to escape?

Turn around and pretend it's nothing

Convince yourself, tell a white lie to yourself

Let the pain ferment in the bottom of my heart

But I understand

after waking up

The pain won't go away

But those memories that shine with tender light

won't disappear

-

"

my good son

I'm sorry mom

"

"

elder brother

"

"

Ok?

"

"

i miss mom

"

Facing unbearable pain

subconsciously suggesting forgetting

like it never happened

Fear of desires that will never be fulfilled

to suppress his desire for everything

I can't bear to lose because I once had it

I don't want to have it anymore because I lost it

just keep on enduring

The child who hides in his heart who can't get candy

please don't be sad

sweetness ever

Just melt in one moment after another

The moments that elapsed time can't take away

-

"

when you said this last night

Sounds like telling me not to go

Although I ran away before

but today

I think I should be with you

nothing more

"

Facing a nightmare like a maggot

always endure

inescapable fear

is entangled with its own past

still unacceptable fact

in this big world

I don't want a place to stay

but accept the existence of this

With you, the frozen courage can come out of the cocoon

"

you……

your hair...

"

"

I

cut the collar

"

"

How do I look?

"

"

very beautiful

"

………………………………………………..

I was lucky enough to come across this show this year

This show made me think a lot

It's a pity that after reaching the seventh chapter, I decided to end the next period.

In these seven essays

I choose to start with the story in the play

Then, the image of the story in my mind

again in words

and corresponds to what I saw in the play

Because I want to keep what I think at the moment

So I watched two episodes at a time and wrote two episodes.

There is a different state of writing your experience on weekdays

In order to organize and clear emotions

I read each episode about 4-5 times on average

Every time I dig out the details that were overlooked before

Pain for the pain of every character in the play

I'm also worried that I can't express what I want to convey.

and

Many thanks to Katheryn Tsai

"I don't want to keep reviewing my life"

It really is a word that wakes up the dreamer

It's a pity that Jae Soo and Sang Tae were not written

But think about if this drama really wrote 16 articles to review life

Really scary thing XD

and

"

I really hope that one day we will hold a pair of warm hands

It can also warm the heart

pass the past

If only our hearts could be warmer that day

"

It has been more than 20 years since I wrote this sentence

And now I still think so, so hope

Please hold the hand of the person who cherishes you, the person you cherish

Feel the warmth

.

At last

I hope there are fewer people who resonate with watching dramas

But so there are more people with more empathy

Thank you to everyone who patiently read the testimonials

Thank you ^^

    The drama is good. From the perspective of a romantic drama, it is very innovative. The form and content have a comic sense. I'm really fed up with the one-star party in the comment area. The gangster attitude of "Is disagreement a jerk" and "Am I the only one bored" is really disgusting. What's even more terrifying is that there are so many people who like it.

    Originally, I was worried that the character of Soo Hyun would not look too good, but I didn't expect it to be very powerful, and the filming method was also very innovative, and there was no acting hindrance. It's really great
