  1. I think the story will get brighter as the seasons get warmer. even the coloration of the drama gets warmer by episode. I'm doing this write up as tears still freshly rolling down on my cheeks EP 3 and 4 were soo good. The story is getting so emotionally involving, it's beautiful . I have a couple of points I'd like to put forth. - Firstly, I read that many people didn't 'buy' the elevator scene from ep 2 when Ji An got the phone out of the CEO's pocket. I saw that as simply an opportunity. To me, Ji An probably sought work in a big company for opportunities like that in the first place. She had to show the CEO how cunning she was so he had no option but to hire her. That was also the precise moment she picked 'team CEO' to work for. She knew both Director Park and CEO were in an awkward relationship due to the bribing situation and here was the CEO carrying 2 phones in his pocket, which would increase Director Park's suspicion even more had she not pretended the phone was hers. From that moment on, she had the CEO at her arms length as he couldn't simply turn around and ask for his extra (2G) phone back in the presence of the Director. The fact she found out about the affair is just a convenient plot device. Our heroine is an opportunist who'd never let chances pass by. Plus she explained her reasoning to the CEO during their one - one so idk why so many people were still confused about that scene..... a character like JiAn (or any detective /agent/ criminal) has to always stay one step ahead from the spectators otherwise it just dumbs the character down. I think the writer and director are doing a brilliant job in picking out necessary scenes to create a structured narrative... ofc there are fiction and reaching as it's fiction. - I found it funny how all the higher ups sulk up to the President but they are all just waiting for him to die. - I still find the characterisation of the wife really wish-washy. The CEO on the other hand is fantastically unlikable! I love (and hate ) his stuck up expression, his air of arrogance but just a hint of nervousness. This actor is also fantastic. - Also, I'm finally happy to see that DH is not as passive as I thought. I can understand why he chooses to stay out of conflicts. This tells me that he may know much more about his wife's affair than he wants to admit. I'm curious to know the reason why they don't divorce and how the son will fit here. I'm starting to see DH's charms. - I find the mundane bantters so charming, the drama becomes really much more rich without skipping any scenes. - I also thought that Ji An perhaps allows herself to get bullied by GI out self-hatred/ guilt. He's her guilty conscience. random comments: I wonder how long it will be until JiAn gets gifted a new NB running shoes hahah It crossed my mind that Janitor is perhaps JiAn's father?? maybe? but he keeps his profile low due to debt/ protect family or himself / idk. Also, the stan in me couldn't stop laughing when it said that JiAn's hobby is 'running' when IU's like this : Also, the stan in me can't stop drawing parallel between IU's love for her grandma and Jian's love for hers . gosh, I love this drama.
  2. I'm surprised by the drop. I hope it picks up again. It would be sooooooo great if it maintains 4% up 5% is a certified hit. also, I won't lie to you Sooj. I've been very jealous of you.... You've had your ship working together 3 times already and even your side ships like IUxOh Hyuk have often collaborated, while I......... I've been waiting for 5 years .... BUT ugh. this: their freaking chemistry!!! I have no choice but to wish that they work together again in a more... romantic scenario. (do not misunderstand me yall GI is awful! but JKY is ) Edit: I screamed Click here to view the Tweet
  3. It's killing me that I haven't watched eps 3 and 4 yet!! I've seen spoilers here and there but I've kept myself away from the biggest part, I guess I'll have the pleasure to watch it with subs without any preconceived ideas. here are the recaps: Damabeans ep 3 http://www.dramabeans.com/2018/03/my-ajusshi-episode-3/ Drama Milk ep 3 and 4: https://www.bah-doo.com/ajusshi-mister-live-recap-episode-3/ https://www.bah-doo.com/ajusshi-mister-live-recap-episode-4/ Orion's Drama Ramblings ep 1: https://www.hancinema.net/orion-s-daily-ramblings-first-impressions--my-mister-116965.html Ahjummamshies: Tbc
  4. this is completely OT (JK related) . . . Click here to view the Tweet
  5. Although I haven't watched, I've seen the spoilers kk can I say that this is what I thought she'd do. I thought she'd use their dinner 'dates' to start a rumour. My guess right now is that although JA sees DH as a tool (and fool) atm, she'll have a change of heart because despite being betrayed by her, he wont give up on her. this is what my writer intuition says. .......... I'm not a writer but that's besides the point.
  6. im about to watch it omg kkkk glad theres more ''controversy'' on the way .. Edit: I can't watch it today omg *desperation*
  7. kkk about Director Park, when I watched without subs, I was like 'ugh, so this is the other baddie' (maybe due to his stern face or hair? ) but When I had subs, my opinion on him shifted completely and although I'm sure JA will be successful in firing him, I really wish his time in the drama is not short. His few scenes gave a lot of depth to the character, which I hope we see more of. I think it's interesting how both sides want to fire each other and we just see one as the ''bad side'' because the CEO is cheating with PH's wife, but really, both sides are equally power hungry and want to achieve the same goal.
  8. we should move drama talk to the drama thread otherwise Lilah will cry. Plus, the discussion is flowing quite nicely there. https://onehallyu.com/topic/605297-airing-tvn-drama-my-mister-lee-sun-kyun-iu-lee-ji-ah-park-ho-san-song-jae-byuk-jang-ki-yong/page-11
  9. the only way the drama could be ruined for me is if they make PDH solve all of JA's problems for her.
  10. we should definitely be keeping an eye out. when Cindy and Jian are in love with each other https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ac7Do0xMhA&feature=youtu.be
  11. except that he obviously studied her every move. *creepy*
  12. OMG!!!! Click here to view the Tweet goosebumps. I bet that he's been discussing with Na PD to star in 'little house in the forest 2' with IU. and then when they both get cast he'll be like 'oh what a coincidence!! I had no Idea you'd be here!!!' *creepy smile* 'little house in the forest' is the perfect set up for a horror.
  13. ok, Glam IU is gold, but natural IU has always been my fave look for IU. like in 'every end of the day' , 'Hyori's bnb' and this.
  14. ah sooj and asi (and others) I recently watched a very interesting doc on cinema and the intellect behind movies that i thought you guys would like too. 'the pervert's guide to cinema - Zizek'
  15. It seems that I've finally been sucked back into kdrama land. I need to clean my life/work so I can have weekends free to watch dramas. I have: My Mister Pretty Noona Who buys Me food Signal on my 'to watch list' Exciting!!! i'm never here for huge age gaps in dramas either. I just don't see the appeal yet. maybe I'll when I enter my 40s...... ?? idk
  16. omg he's not 20... he's 30!!! He has an established job and everything. She's just (hardly) a noona who buys him food
  17. i'm with sooj. I also don't get the feeling that JA wants to open up to any body. So far, in her cynical heart, my interpretation is that she only sees people as tools/ with the exception of a couple of allies (janitor and nerd friend) and gradma. IU is doing such a brilliant job that I really don't feel the need to interpret beyond what she's showing. To me, like sooj, the subway and the scene below are the only moment she felt kinda of pity towards DH: Click here to view the Tweet I'm looking forward to see what will take to break down her barriers. but sure enough wont be a couple of meals. I've seen a couple of people complaining about the Wife too........ and I agree.............. in a cast when everyone is showing something outside of the kdrama cliche, she's playing the role that same way any other actor would in any weekend drama.... it just feels incredibly 2D in comparison.... rise up woman.
  18. Sooj!! our Best Boy has gotten his first leading role!! IU's his lucky charm is ttn going to dethrone friday in longevity
