saved the number you used. Is something up at home? She says nothing, I just wanted to know how you've been. He starts crying "the heavens finally answered my prayers" she says what? He says I left you and your mom because of debt and squandered my life, I went from here and there that my health deteriorated so much that I asked my friend for a favor to work at his shop dongmin service center. I'm living there at the moment. She asks are you sick? He says jihye I.. I have liver cancer. Are you listening? She says yes. He says I've been punished for all my wrongdoings so I wanted to die with my family beside me, I prayed for that so much and then you called me. Thank you so much Ji Hye. She says yes. He says please tell Mom to live with me again, that's what you want too right,You want to see me too. Ji Hye says yes (me: lmao this idiot is looking for a nurse to take care of him now that he's ill).

The next morning, mom asks if she went to bed early cos she didn't even eat her dinner. Ji Hye says the rice smells. Mom says then eat ramen. I asked you if you would like to eat out with me. Ji Hye asks Mom why did you divorce dad? Mom says are you talking about going abroad again? She's says no, can't I even ask why you divorced? Mom says we lost everything due to his greed, we divorced when we were steeped in debt. I stood as a guarantor for him and finished paying the debt when you were in junior high. Ji Hye asks so you divorced him cos of debt? Mom says if it were only debt, I would have earned the money. He was an alcoholic. You were growing everyday and he got drunk everyday. I thought he'd die of alcohol poisoning, I guess he hasn't died yet. Ji Hye says you speak so harshly. Mom says what's so harsh, who cares? He's a stranger. Consider yourself lucky that you were too young to remember, look at your brother. We weren't just a good match, even the Fortune tellers said we'd die if we lived together.

At school teacher tells Ji Hye that the education board has agreed to offer full scholarship to people with good grades, all she has to do is take an exam and get at least top 3 position. Seongyeon offers to buy her past questions to study and this time Ji Hye agrees (me: aigoo thank God).

They are going to the bus station from the bookstore when Ji Hye sees ji Han and his gang with their motorcycles. She's embarrassed because seongyeon will get to see who her brother is but that's the only way to the bus station, she decides to pass and pretend they are not there. The friend who was with him last night says Ji Han is that not your sister?, he looks at her and says no. The friend blocks their path and says hey ji Han it's your sister. Their ring leader comes and says is this Ji Han's sister, you're cute, how old are you? He touches the strap of her backpack and says do you want oppa to carry your bag for you? Ji Han removes his hand and says she's not my sister. Ring leader says as if, she's obviously your sister, he reaches for the bag again saying let oppa carry it for you. Ji Han pushes him. They're about to start fighting. The rest of the boys try to separate them, Ji Hye and seongyeon run to the bus stop.

They get in a bus, seongyeon says what's with those boys, they're just a bunch of thugs. Ji Hye says I know right. Her phone rings, she picks, it's her dad (*sigh*). Seongyeon asks who it is, Ji Hye says no one important. She asks him what the matter is? He says I don't only call when there's a problem, I just called to hear your voice. Did you tell your mom and brother about me? She says I've been too busy to talk to them. He says I know you're busy but it's up to you to make our family come together (me: somebody hold me, I want to stab this man). She says I'm at school now, he says no problem, I'll call you later in the night. Seongyeon asks who's that? Ji Hye says just a friend of my mom's. Seongyeon says you must be really uncomfortable with the person for you to lie like that. She gets to her stop and says she's going to her dad's office to meet him for a date, she asks Ji Hye if she'd like to join her but Ji Hye declines.

Ji Hye is home, she wants to get a drink from the fridge when she sees a cricket on the floor, she drops her glass and runs into the room, she calls her Mom crying and asking why she hasn't called the exterminator yet. Mom is at a karaoke for a work drink whatever that thing Koreans do lol, the place is noisy and she has to shout, she asks if there's another cockroach? Ji Hye says it was a cricket. Mom says crickets are not harmful, Ji Hye says I don't care, I don't want to see them. Mom says what's wrong with you, it's not even a cockroach but a cricket. Ji Hye cries they make too much noise. Another call comes in, it's her dad. She removes the battery from her phone and closes her ears.

Jihan and his friends gather with their bikes. One of them says Jihan you still don't have a bike? His friend says ever since he went to juvie his Mom has been so strict. Ji Han says I'm a loser at home. Ring leader says you're a total loser, you're scared of even your little sister. Ji han says she's not my sister. Ring leader says then why do you get so worked up? I'm pretty sure she's your sister. The other guys say can we leave this matter alone. Ring leader says are you ashamed of us? Ji Han says it's not like that. Ring leader says then what, do you get bashed at home if you say hi to your sister, or you think we'll mess with her? I wouldn't even have her if you gave her to me. Ji Han punches him and starts beating him while the others struggle to separate them.

At school Ji Hye didn't do her assignment and gets beaten by the teacher. Seongyeon asks her why she didn't do it, Ji Hye says she has a lot on her mind lately. Seongyeon tells her not to overdo studying for the scholarship exam (me: aigoo babes that is not the problem). She says my dad wants to buy us dinner today, will you come? Ji Hye says she can't but seongyeon says he also wants to talk to you about your family register so Ji Hye agrees.

They are at his office, the receptionist serves them juice and tells them to be patient, an old client of the dad came for an impromptu meeting. Dad finishes the meeting and steps out with his old client. Ghen ghen it's jihye's mom and Ji Han. Seongyeon recognizes Ji han and says oh is this not that thug? Mom says Ji Hye what are you doing here? Ji Hye runs out in tears. Her mom runs out and catches up to her. Ji Hye says what is it this time, another assault? Mom says and why are you here? She says I told you seongyeon's dad is a lawyer, I told you so many times but you wouldn't listen. Why did you have to come here? Ji Han comes and says ya! Ryu Ji Hye who are you to shout at Mom (me: didn't she learn from you?). Ji Hye says don't play the older brother, it's despicable. He says what, are you insane? She says why, are you going to hit me too? Go on then, we're at a lawyer's office so go ahead. Mom says Ryu Ji Hye stop that. Ji Hye says you're embarrassing, I wish you weren't my family. Mom slaps her. She eyes them and walks out crying.

We see her walking around, crying and hear her voiceover "a cockroach, a family of cockroaches, a family that even makes loud noises, I've lived in that family of cockroaches thinking that I'm human, but when my mom hit me I realized ah i was the cockroach in my family, having to keep quiet all the time. A cockroach.

Mom is waiting in front of the house worried, she keeps trying Ji hye's number but it doesn't ring. Ji Hye comes home, Mom runs to her and asks where have you been? I've been worried. Ji Hye ignores and continues going in. Mom says you can't come after making me worry for so long and keep quiet. Ji Hye says I'll just remain silent and out of your way. Just leave me alone.

She's studying in her room and her phone rings, it's her dad. She ignores it but it keeps ringing, she picks up and says Yes. He says why does my daughter sound so cold, you didn't even pick my call earlier. She says I was busy, I have an important exam tomorrow. He says I see, did you tell your mom about me? She says mom is also busy. He asks and your brother, is he staying out of trouble? She says yes. He says is that all you have to tell me? I'm a little upset, tell me some details, I need to know how you guys are living so it'll be easier when we live together. He starts making some funny noises and she asks are you drunk? He says the thing is ji hye, I'm really... really sick, I need you to talk to your mom and your brother so that we can live together before I die. She says I'm sorry but I'm really busy, I have an important exam tomorrow. He says jihye don't live like that, he keeps repeating it. She hangs up.

The next day she's at the exam hall but can't focus cos she keeps hearing her dad's voice say jihye don't live like that.

She's hanging out with seongyeon who's cheering her up and saying she's sure ji Hye did well on the exam. Seongyeon says I say things as they are and that's why I was an outcast but you Ji Hye, you hide too much, you don't have to be like that. I'm like this but you don't run away, do you think I'd run away from you?

She gets home and is surprised to see her Mom and Ji Han at home. Mom says where have you been, where's your phone? Ji Hye says I told you I had my exam today, I left it at home. Is there a problem? Ji han says dad passed away. Mom says he was lying dead on the street, he had no phone or anything so they contacted you guys since you're on his family register. She asks what about the funeral? Ji Han says it's at a hospital at changwon. She says we're heading there right? Mom says we don't know if we'll go yet, we don't know what's going on there either. She's asks what do you mean? Ji Han says since we're on his family register, we might inherit his debts. Mom says let's think about it till tomorrow, then decide. Her Voiceover "to go or not to go?". Flashback to when the parents were fighting over her in the beginning. Her voiceover continues "what choice did I make back then? When I was young it's not like I hated my dad but I wanted to go with mom. Like mom said he was always drunk and if he ran out of alcohol late at night he became an entirely different person plus at dad's house they were always lots of cockroaches, so many that my brother is still scared of them."

The next day at school seongyeon's dad comes to pick her up, he offers to give Ji Hye a ride but she declines. He tells her she doesn't have to do anything about her family register again and offers his condolences on her dad's passing.

She gets home and reads the letter her dad sent to her brother (me: it's true o, she never read the letter, just took the phone number). Flashback to the beginning when they were fighting over her. We hear her voiceover "to go or not to go? At that moment I looked at my brother, no one asked him anything, he just kept silent the whole time. And in the letter dad sent to him, there was nothing about him, it was all about me and mom. Was it because of the noisy cicadas? My brother had no expression on his face but I thought he was crying out, "don't go, don't go". She's goes to the place he hangs out with his friends and says what are you doing here, mom's waiting, hurry up. She takes his hand and they start leaving. His friends ask him where he's going? He says he'll be back.

They're home, Mom asks have you all thought about it? Ji Hye says seongyeon's dad says we can write a refusal of inheritance. Dad had a lot of debts, he said it'll be best if we don't attend the funeral. Ji Han says ya Ryu Ji Hye, let's write that refusal or whatever tomorrow. Happy now? I'm going out. He starts to put on his shoe while Ji Hye is about to enter her room when their Mom cries "he should have stayed alive, if he'd left after causing me so much pain, he should have at least lived a good life, why cause me so much pain till the end". Ji han starts crying too, he says why are you even sad, we've lived fine without him, we'll continue to live fine without him. Ji Hye also starts crying. Everyone cries and cries and cries. Ji Hye's voiceover "dogs bark, cicadas buzz, all 3 of us cried in different ways. Flashback to her Mom and brother fighting while she ate ramen, her Voiceover "my brother and mom were also crying but I couldn't hear them, that's because I'd been blocking my ears, I think my dad's final words were telling me to open my ears now. Just as the cockroaches survive because they make no sound, humans cry in order to survive, each in their own way.

A few days later, Ji Hye is ready to travel to England, her Mom is ready to take her to the airport and Ji Han says he cooked rice for her to eat, everyone is surprised. The rice was not well done but she still ate it, they both feed her, they are clearly happier. Ji Han tells her to bring him back a gift. They all smile. The endeu

I'd rate this 10/10

WHAT I LIKED
1. OK so honestly there's really nothing to hate about this drama. It's like a mellow slice of life movie and I loved it. I like how it shows the effect of divorce on families, I love how Ji Hye was able to realize that she wasn't the only one hurting. I felt bad for all of them but my heart went out to Ji han more. Imagine feeling like the child nobody wants from that little age and I'm sure it wasn't even their mom's intention to make it seem like she was only fighting for Ji Hye but that was how he saw it and it's sad that the only way he could get attention was by causing trouble. And his fear of cockroaches stemming from his memories of his dad. Ji hye's fear of cicadas coming from the moment of her "first dilemma" I liked how they all cried at the end, not necessarily cos of the dad's death but of everything they've been through and every opportunity they've lost plus all of the what ifs. I like that Ji Hye has a true friend in seongyeon, she might not be perfect but she has her best interests at heart. I like the fact that as useless as their dad was he still somehow opened Ji hye's eyes to her selfishness. Anyway this drama had me in my feels and I actually didn't cry! I'm proud of myself lol
I always love her in school uniform, I watched Love Alarm because of her.

Phones / Re: Why You Can't Receive Calls On 4G LTE by PATAlolade(m): 8:06am On Oct 10, 2021
invincible560:
The world of technology keeps advancing and evolving and smartphone's connectivity is not left out as we have smartphones that are 5G enabled. That's not a bad invention, but the simple question is; does your Network provider support most of these connectivity bands?!

I remember specifically when Glo launched 4G, they made use of band 700 (28)band which is very rare on any smartphone or MiFi available at that time. That band suffered many users, myself inclusive. However, the release of Glo MiFi that uses the band 700 (28)band saved the day. Although, they later switched to a more popular band that supports all smartphones.

So, it's a pain in the ass when your smartphone has 4G features and it is restricted by your Network provider.  for instance, some specific devices can now make calls over 4G but their Network provider does not support such protocol called "VoLTE".

4G LTE and VoLTE

4G LTE is an advanced connectivity protocol with a single channel dedicated for data purposes and cannot make calls during the early Era of its invention.

When you receive calls while on 4G, It switches back to 3G for the call features to work and it switches back to 4G for data. However, VoLTE was later enabled to make calls on 4G LTE and many Network providers are switching to the protocol.

I know you may want to what the term VoLTE implies?

The VoLTE simply means voice call over LTE you use data to make calls. It has advantages over normal calls because it gives better call clarity.

In Nigeria, network providers that support VoLTE are just a few and if you think the 4 biggest network providers in Nigeria support the VoLTE, then you are wrong �

Few Network providers that support VoLTE are smile, Ntel e.t.c

Now to the crux of this discuss-why you can't receive calls on 4G device. If you have been following my story from the beginning, you will possibly know why you can't make calls on 4G LTE.

If sometimes you experience issues trying to receive calls, or people complain that your mobile number is not always reachable. Then you need to know why.

If you use LTE frequently for data, you might have set your phone to use 4G only and this must have caused the issues raised in the preceding paragraph. It is simply because when someone calls in, your phone won't be able to switch from 4G to 3G to receive the call. Same way if you can't call out while on 4G.

How to fix this issue!

Go to your phone settings, check network settings, choose Auto mode instead of 4G only.

With this simple information and setting when next you want to receive a call while browsing with 4G, your network will automatically switch to 3G to receive the call. Cheers!

Sincerely on my own part I find it annoying and so uncomfortable. Charger is a personal property that goes with a phone, some will even say baba, since you don get small percentage, make i boost my own na, e don die completely. Others will come and say abeg if you finish charging your phone help me with your charger and they won't even allow you finish charging, you'll see them coming to check if you've finished every now and then. Some will borrow and spoil it, the funny thing is that they will tell you I just plug am and I see say e no dey charge. Sometimes when you come to collect your charger their facial expression will change, I can't leave my charger with you while my phone is down. If you refuse to borrow them your charger, you become wicked. You fit buy phone but you no fit buy charger.... Haba?


Personally I feel charger is not a thing that should be borrowed cos you need it always!!!
I need no worry, I am using Usb type C charger which had to come by
