�Babo☮ 1,695 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Looks like when I try to be fashionable EPISODE 9 PREVIEW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTpoiW8Knls Behold, the unseen scenes.

�Babo☮ 1,695 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Me neither. Still haven't watched Ep.5 my partner in crime Ah, so this drama finally got a thread? lmao. I was waiting for someone to make one, but I just assumed no one would, and I'm much to busy/lazy to be a responsible OP lol. Anyway, I'm excited for the next episode. I'm convinced they're gonna start picking everything up. Define 'finally' And I'm excited too <3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
�Babo☮ 1,695 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 lol I haven't been browsing on the site for a while. I've been pretty busy, so I've only came on the site occasionally to keep up with specific threads. I checked for a thread after like the first like 3 weeks of it airing, but there wasn't one yet, and I was too lazy to make it myself, that's what I mean lol. I'm glad I didn't. You're doing a better job keeping the thread updated/active than I absolutely ever could LMAO. Right? I hope there's a bit more even time distribution for couples as the show closes off. Seol Eun and Hwan Jong get paid SO much dust, and even Takuya and Joon Jae get minimal airtime despite being by far the most popular couple lol. I love 609, but their segments can be too long, and sometimes even pointless sometimes like the last episode. I've loved literally every episode in the show besides this last one, because it just a bit too much of them lol. Actually, I typically watch the episodes twice, once live, and then again while subbing, but this time I only skipped to Takuya and Joonjae's part LOL. I have no intention to watch it again tbh... LOL xD ok, I got it. Tbh I was 75% certain this thread would kind of flop, but surprisingly there are enough fans. Even though most of them don't comment...you can, everyone, I'm pretty much thirsty for opinions and thoughts on the drama Well, I really like chatting, but only cicero volunteered, and she's not often available, I even got ignored with my badge question that hurt, everyone..that hurt I cri And thank youu ;-; even though I flop for not watching everything there is per episode, but at least I won't let the thread die, I'll still comment...and try to fish for other ppl to join in lol Ooohhhhhh, an opinion!!! Fabulous!! Ok, so, I agree ;-; the screen time is all over the place. Even Takujoon's part was more of a filler. Still interesting bcs they're my fav couple, but literally nothing of substance happened :o I have only watched takujoon and the new couple this ep. Is 609 the older couple? Cause then I share this with you as well, they have so much time in every episode. I really like the noona romance and even though they get enough time, I would've liked for them to be the main couple~ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
�Babo☮ 1,695 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Edited to not confuse anyone. I could chat if you wanted to, I have lots of free time now. I do read everything in this thread, it's just that I don't always join in on the discussion ^^; I know I signed up for the badge, but to be honest I have no idea how to go forth with it. I have to watch ep 6&7 subbed (except the Takujae parts, I've watched those, haha). This drama is the only one I watch unsubbed, since I can enjoy the humor anyways. I was lucky ep 8 was almost fully subbed so fast when I watched it, so I don't have to rewatch it... feel kinda bad for that, but I agree that it was a lot of filler. Funny, but it kind of felt like they pushed a lot of the scenes they teased in the previews into this episode to "just get it over with". Before every ep, I'm always nervous for two reasons: 1. Are they going to get more equal screentime? I'd hoped they'd get 1/4 each... the older couple is good, but now I begin to sigh as they take screen time from the others... As for now, my feeling towards the engaged couple is just pity because of their little screentime, hah. I always feel bad when I see them ._. 2. What are Takujae going to do this episode? Now I'm actually emotionally invested in this and I always wonder if they're going to mess it up each episode .__. This is comedy but their "will they or won't they? has me more glues to the screen than any other couple in a recent drama... I think the filler fluff is so frustrating because we want to see it happen and time is running out. We would be happy to see it only if we knew they are endgame. sorry this got long OTL BTW cr: ljj7.tumblr.com I wrote a long message and the page reloaded on me TT_TT this is such great suffering It's ok, I read everything, long texts are good~! Thank youu then, I'll take you up on your offer, I have many feelings sometimes and I wanna discuss the drama, the scenes, THE EMOTIONS xD You can quote me at any time, btw, I enjoy that I think Tee is going to do the things for the badge? But we should really discuss this, is there anything we should do for it? Am I gonna get ignored again? Isn't it important....? ( There's a form we need to buy, complete and submit, wrong information, reffer to the next post) 6 ppl have to support the badge and 3 have to get it. Haha, I think ep 6 is also the episode where I stopped watching all of the pants and watching them with subs, other than Takujae xD And yes, yes, I totally get the watching it without subs part *flips table* They never give them equal screen time, never!!! *puffs at Mnet* The thing with the new couple is trully a joke, I mean. 3 minutes medium. >.> wut The Takujoon thing is kind of -nervewrecking-. They either have plenty of character developement or none and time is indeed going by :-? That's a lovely gif!! Also, double posting is totally ok by me lol Hi~thread I don’t watch many dramas but I like the omnibus style of The Lover. I haven’t watched every part of every episode but I’ve kept up to date with 709. They billed it as a ‘Dangerous Bromance’ and while a couple of the humorous scenes have played the ‘misunderstanding’ joke, the way this drama keeps taking every moment that could be an opportunity to shut down a real romance and instead affirms it…I’m surprised every time. Dicks as a turn-on instead of a deterrent. Surprised. Confirming actual feelings without fuss or denial. Surprised. JoonJae cautious but determined to make his feelings known. Surprised. The only real question now is whether or not Takuya will reciprocate, and the drama has actually made it seem viable. Those knowing looks. The way he doesn’t question JoonJae’s obvious jealousy or his preference for Takuya over his girlfriend. The way he just allowed JoonJae to move in for a kiss. The way he slid down the wall when JoonJae left him hanging. All these things are necessary for the ‘Dangerous Bromance’ joke, but they’re simultaneously humorous and serious. It’s a blend that fits in well with the tone of the entire show, and I think they’ve set themselves up perfectly for a satisfying conclusion if they have the guts to go there (and I think they might). Every time I think, they wouldn’t go there…would they? But every episode they let the natural momentum build even with such little screen time. And now there are four episodes left? JoonJae, I'm also curious what the end of your relationship will look like. Next episode is almost here! If anyone is curious, in the preview JoonJae is reading the Korean translation of a book called Positive Psychological Assessment. I wonder if he’s reading the chapter on romantic love? Thank you for joining uuuuuus sorry I won't write a lot in this reply, it's really late and I kinda wrote this twice lol, but I'll try and welcome you properly the next time we talk xD Very nice text, I enjoyed reading it!! You summerized the points really nicely and made sense of the thing Mnet, the director, has been doing with them. If you're still interested, I could get into detail tomorrow, if not, talk to you again~ Pls stick around Edited June 3, 2015 by �Babo☮ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
�Babo☮ 1,695 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hmm not sure if the rules changed, but you don't need to buy custom award forms for OTP/sub unit/company badges. They're only required for groups / individuals. You do have to fill out a form but it's for free / in the OP of this thread. You fill out the form and post it in that thread, unlike the Custom Award Form for Group / Individual badges where you need to fill those out in a separate field that will notify the Awards Team with a PM. P.S - If any of ya'll are selling Custom Award Forms, I'm your desperate customer oh no, they didn't, I mixed them up. great then. we should still talk about but we don't. Do you like that pic, are you ok with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
�Babo☮ 1,695 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 What pic? :O I think the reason why Tee hasn't created the thread yet is because the show is still ongoing (possibility of more appealing photos or scenes to be released) and the OTP / Sub-Unit Custom Award Thread is currently closed until award season is over ^^ I made some badges this morning, just to get some of the pics out of the way before the thread opened. The regulations seem to be a lot more strict for this season so 90% of these images might get rejected >___> (like that wall / almost-kiss one #dammit) But I'm posting them anyways. I'll edit with the original image links later. a moment of silence for ppl who wanted this moment for the badge but know it's going to be rejected #mycreys yeeeeaaahhhhh after putting them in this post I'm pretty sure everything I've made but those last two badges will be rejected lmao will look for more images after a nap. Thise are great! But what thread? We don't need to make one, right? We can just decide between us and then submit it. I know people who are currently working to get some new OTP badges made and they decide it by PM. So, this is why I'm asking here, because I don't expect a thread. And by pic I meant the pic for the badge, aka what you have done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
�Babo☮ 1,695 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Grrrrrrrrrr I didn't even understand most of it, yet I feel so sad....because Joon Jae is having it hard, be it that he makes it hard for himself or not...but it almo makes me happy because this is very nice....but nothing kind of happened again, this ep and the last ep only showed us Joon Jae's affection, but we knew and know that.. Yup, this is it for now, I'll try and watch some of the others too and then come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is curious, in the preview JoonJae is reading the Korean translation of a book called Positive Psychological Assessment. I wonder if he’s reading the chapter on romantic love? Ok, so I finally got around to this~ I'll mostly say what I think, because you have written it greatly, I agree with everything and there's nothing more analysis I could add~ I don't watch many dramas either and I never finish them, but I even made this thread for this one lmfao, my crush is obvious. And you are one of us then! And by "us" I mean those who have only been keeping up with 709 lately bad OP Very nicely said! At first everyone was really skeptical and most of us were almost certain it will be simply queerbaiting, even though the hope was never lost. While I know that Mnet sucks with their reality shows or competitions and have evil editing, I like them for this. He came in his pants lmfao, epic episode xD And yes, yes, he went with it so smoothly, something like "Oh....so this is what this feeling is called, this is what I want. Oh. Nice, ok. He is very pretty." During the first episodes I was confused about Joon Jae and certain about Takuya, then I got confused about Takuya and now I'm pretty positive again he loves JJ too. Omg I just hope it won't be an unsatifying ending, because I will suffer for months D:D:D: MONTHS!!! Only 3 episodes left now and I feel like it's so little ;-; when did time pass ;-; when! next episode' preview is looking so hot my body's not certain what to do with itself And again, welcome It would've been great to have you here from the beginning, your insight is interesting~! Just thoughts? Nah but look at this, someone instagrammed Takujae's preview parts for episode 10 already: https://instagram.com/p/3jH4e-qWIY/ OMFG I WILL NOT EVEN SAY HOW THIS MAKES ME FEEL BECAUSE I'LL BE GETTING 19+ MYSELF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

�Babo☮ 1,695 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 *cought up with ep 6, on to the 7th* *lol at the guys being kinda shy and girls going all out with the sex talk in the 6th ep* From THE TWO DARN MINUTES THEY GOT IN THE EP () my fav parts were: takuya moving closer with that look after a slight pause and clinging to JJ, Joon Jae muttering 'you're pretty' (YES), and Joon Jae being driven completely over the edge and ravashing stuff in the bathroom. Anyone knows if it's certain they'll be only 12 eps? TWO FUCKING MINUTES ARE YOU SHITTING ME MNET oh man im so mad right now this isn't fair but ohwellz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUxmxIPJ8fA lmaoo.

â�¥Babo☮ 1,695 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm not a native speaker but I'm pretty sure Joonjae doesn't use the past tense. He says 예ë»ì„œ because you're pretty. Which does sound like 예뻤어 you were pretty, but I think it's the first case. I could be wrong. This tumblr has gifs with most of the translations. Takuya did seem oblivious. Where are they going with this? I'm really curious because they've driven Joonjae into a corner. Two episodes left...predictions anyone? I predict what's left is not gonna give us the full satisfaction I TRUSTED YOU SO FAR MNET, NOT ANYMORE!No, but I mean, I have no idea what they're thinking with this amount of screen time. How do you give your most popular part of the episode, the one that brings most of the watchers, constantly low amounts of screen time and then, after an episode with no character development, you give them two minutes when there's only two episodes left. I don't see how this could be saved at this point. One, I have serious trust issues that they'll get decent screen time even in these last episodes and 2. even with decent screen time now, how would you get to a satisfying conclusion without rushing and skipping? Is getting to a conclusion of whether they get together or not all they want to do with them? I would've at least wanted to see them for a bit after that.. I still think that Takuya knows, but it's a story so he might as well not.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
�Babo☮ 1,695 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 OH is so odd sometimes ahahahah, why did no one tell me how funny the 8th episode is xD This was niceeeee, I laughed a lot, now I only have to watch the 9th to catch up. I don't know if anyone brought this up yet but they're watching Reply 1997 and in the exact scene they watch the girl asks the boy "why do you like me?" and he replies with "because you're pretty" -> Joonjae was instinctively quoting that scene. and yes it does sound like present tense to me, too I fear that too even if they give takujae some screen time and make them a couple wouldn't it be too rushed and kinda unsatisfying? I feel like at the part we're now the most we'll get is some hinted relationship welcooooome to the thread, officially That's how I think it would be too, either rushed, unsatisfying or too simple..or all of them, they kind of blend together. Some time really seems wasted when looking at other couples, but who knows what Mnet wants with this drama :-? I've been thinking while watching this, their main purpose is probably showing the real life of regular couples and not exactly focusing on a gay couple, so even though we get frustrated and they lose viewers, they didn't hurry up and changed the configuration. Which is too bad for us, but also they gave us something I feel so ungrateful, but it's normal to want more and this is so beautiful, plus wouldn't it have been nice to have closer time in proportions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually began writing fic... can't believe what this drama makes me do ._.

�Babo☮ 1,695 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 yes he does have a really pretty smile basically the reason why i was attracted to him in the first place yup yup~ . I also like his beauty mark Are the other couples apart from Takuya/Joonjae fun/interesting? Should I watch this drama? Yes, some would actually argue that other than Takujae being a possibly gay couple on tv in Korea, they don't have much going for them. (they have their hillarious moments though) In my opinion, the funniest couple is the noona-dongsaeng , the older couple is fun too, then Takujae and then the new couple. The drama is overall very much worth it imo, if you get along with the humour, aren't easily displeased with people hitting each other now and then and you have nothing against it not being a typical drama. The first episode of The Lover is really good, you should get a taste of whether you like it or not by watching it (I cried laughing lol ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
