Memorable Quotes

하늘이 내린 인연
— Framing of Ha Jin-woo and Yoon Sol's relationship

Context

Used in the sequence where Ha Jin-woo (Seo Han-gyeol) and Yoon Sol (Jeon Hye-yeon) confirm their feelings for one another and kiss — the romance's turning point in the series' middle stretch.

Meaning

"A bond sent down by heaven." The phrase is the series' own title turned into dialogue, and it converts a private romance into the show's thesis statement: the ties that matter are not chosen but received.

내 첫사랑… 살아있어 줘서 고마워
— Ha Jin-woo (Seo Han-gyeol)

Context

Spoken to Yoon Sol / Lee Hae-in (Jeon Hye-yeon) when he recognizes her as the first love he believed he had lost — the payoff of the drama's long-buried-identity setup.

Meaning

"My first love… thank you for being alive." The emotional counter-argument to Kang Chi-hwan's worldview: a person's value is not what they can be traded for, but simply that they still exist.
