Kim Hee-ae delivers sharp rebukes in JTBC drama How Long I've Kissed

New footage from the JTBC drama How Long I've Kissed reveals intense psychological conflicts, including a character's refusal to accept excuses and a confrontation regarding the denial of past devotion spent caring for a child's health.

A video capturing key scenes from the JTBC drama 'How Long I've Kissed' reveals sharp confrontations and complex psychological conflicts between characters. In the footage, a character expresses a firm refusal toward another's excuses and hypocrisy, stating, "This is neither food nor air. You can live without it, so do not contact me." The conflict reaches a climax as the character rebukes an opponent who abandoned past convictions to change attitudes depending on the situation, saying, "Do not act so petty and indecisive without a set answer."

"Do you think I was idle?"... Conflict between devotion and criticism

The dialogue between characters includes arguments regarding the denial of past devotion. In response to an opponent claiming they do not know how the other has lived, one character retorts, "Do you think I was idle?" while recalling painful times spent caring for a child's health through all-night vigils and trips to the emergency room. The scene depicts the process of raising the child by making handmade soap for laundry and providing an organic diet. The character further emphasizes their own choices and peace through the English line, "I choose happiness. I choose peace. I choose beauty and love."

Meetings in a new neighborhood and obsession with education

The movements of characters placed in a new environment after moving are also depicted. Conversations include information regarding the opening of international middle school entrance exam classes, exam schedules, and the fact that academy exams are more difficult than school exams. During this process, characters build relationships by greeting neighbors. One character expresses gratitude for receiving help from a neighbor in an unfamiliar neighborhood immediately after moving and attempts to offer their contact information.

The obsession with education leads to a contract between characters. A character who has taught their child directly without private education requests specific instruction from another person to prove the child's abilities and respond to the gaze of those around them. Tension increases as they exchange dialogue such as, "Can you adjust to my schedule?" and "It is my first time teaching someone who is in last place."

Implants and nursing homes: Revealing facets of reality

The latter part of the video features realistic conversations related to health issues. Specific questions and answers are exchanged regarding whether dental implant procedures are suitable for the elderly or if there are other methods if roots remain. In this process, it is mentioned that a certain individual is in a nursing home due to dementia symptoms, revealing the realistic situations and constraints faced by the characters.
