Ah someone made a thread! Good.

 

 

Yup started watching it this week and it has not disappointed. I've noticed with Joowon, if you give him a role where he's regular in any way (rich chaebol dude, hot detective dude...the typical), it might turn out a bit bland...give him sumn with extra personality/weirdness? He nails it LOL

 

In fact the plot so far is interesting and the episodes have been intriguing...I didn't even have to wait t'ill the usual ep 4 or 5 to see it kick into gear. I hope it keeps up.

 

Ngl tho...when it got to ep 3 and we got the makeover montage...I thought to myself

Visually...the initial hair Joowon had at the start of the drama is my fave hair on Joowon in any role he's ever had. It made him look so young, mischievous and pretty laid back and Taehee with that long, flowing, wavy hair is really pretty. I hope they don't cut it LOL

That nurse is crazy I wonder why she slap Yeojin and scream 'you flirt with him???'

I hope it's not something I thought it is :unsure:

 

Yeah the nurse has issues. I wonder how vital she'll be to the plot...

Do not want it extended if it means:

  1. killing the actors...Joowon needs sleep too...he is a homosapien.
  2. killing the plot.

EPISODE 6 BRUH!!!

 

Game changers to the max. It was a bit over the top but...it really does make for intrigue lol.

:la:  :la:  :la:

I liked Cynthia. Girl was fierce. Even the random English added a haughty "don't forget I'm American" flair lol I liked her kinda-ish mentor role she took to Taehyun.

 

Imma miss her.

 

Nurse Hwang made me wayy too tense cuz I kept thinking she'd give the secret away xD But she ended up saving everything. But I really was expecting at some point in the drama they'd go into the backstory of why she's so obsessed Yeojin. 

 

I can't say I'll miss her tho xD

Ep 7 was slightly slower paced but still good. I hope they don't PUSH the romance between Taehyun and Yeojin tho. I feel like that will kill it.

*sighhhhhhhhhhhhh*

 

 

 

 

 

they did what I hoped they wouldn't do. They are hurriedly trying to push Taehyun and Yeojin...it's like they're trying to ensure we know "this happens..,it's not an idealistic ship". I was hoping they'd let it develop naturally instead.

 

Well...since they're force feeding the romance...the action better keep up lol!

And on a sidenote I don't get why Koreans like drunk kisses, half-asleep kisses or accidental kisses that happen in almost every drama. They approve of and don't critisize them even though for me it's a lot sicker than a kiss between two grown-up adults like in Yong Pal. And the same goes for childood connection, like they believe the romance if the heroine saw the hero for a second twenty years old, but don't believe when the two adults fall in love over the dramatic circumstances that brought them together. I bet that if we were shown that little Yeojin gave a penny to a crying Taehyun by a church they would be on a cloud nine and giving the writer outstanding applause for his extraordinary storytelling skills. Argh, these people.

Still loving this drama, wishing all the best to staff and eagerly waiting for a real action next week. Sorry for a long rant.

 

I'm a Jamaican...lol but the type of person I am appreciates the..."fantasy innocence" you'd say, in the fact that someone fell for someone they connected with once as a child. That almost doesn't exist in any kind of series/movie/drama here in the west.

 

The "Falling in love during life or death circumstances" scenario, however, is actually what annoys me more LOL. It's life or death! I'm focused on staying alive...ain't got time to be entertaining any ideas of romance- yet there they are. LOL that's why that route always ends up feeling forced to me. Kinda like "let's stick a li'l kiss in here...to amp up the plot"

 

Idk if Koreans feel the same way but that's just my opinion. So you could see a little bit of why people like me think the way we do.

Hmm well from what I've heard Koreans are still interested in the story. Knets on netizenbuzz's article called out the romance's pace too. But apparently the general public didn't mind it. The ratings of episodes 7 & 8 rerun during the weekend even beat out some weekend dramas. So I take it Koreans for the most part are still on board.

 

Anyways everyone have some laughs!

YES.

 

Ep 10 has amended the situation.

You see how great things can be once the unnecessary romance bit is chucked to the side? Ep 10 brought everything back to why we're so interested in the drama in the first place. Yongpal. His life...the risks...what happens to Yeojin...how will she get back into the mix...etc etc.

 

Dun need to see the two in a field of daisies. Nobody's here for that. LOL

 

As for Taehee...she's doing well. I have no fault with how her character is being played out. She was trying to find a moment of peace and normalcy but as the situation called...she plunged back in. That was acted out well.

 

Joowon...no words are needed. Nailing it all day every day.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS - all I have to say about episode 11.

 

It's just literally so flawless I cried of this perfection.

I wanted badass Yeojin? I got it. I wanted intelligent Yeojin? I got it. I wanted all this unrealistic, but so well-done stuff that made me love YongPal in the first place? I got it. I wanted more development on Chaeyoung and Dojoon' characters? I got it. I wanted intrigue, action and romance? I got it.

Dunno what else to say tbh. I'm dying to see episode 12. Tomorrow can't come soon enough :rlytearpls: :rlytearpls: :rlytearpls:

:shock:  - all I can say, this is what vengeance looks like :lub:

 

 

boy, that was a scene and a half eh?

Did we watch the same episode 11? :imstupid:  Because in the one I watched Chaeyoung and Dojoon got almost as much screentime as Taehyun. And does getting a 'scene and a half' equals not getting any characters development?

Gurl, in this scene in the hotel room we found out more about them than in the previous 10 episodes. :derp:

 

LOL you misunderstand me!

 

"a scene and a half" is an expression for "that was a strong scene which left quite the impression". I was agreeing with you~

....

 

my sleepy mind, thought that you might have meant it like that didn't even cross my mind, my bad :lol:

 

And yeah, now that we clarified that we agree I can tell you: that was a scene and three fourth ( :imstupid: ) to be honest. Such a brilliant acting from Jo Hyun Jae and Chae Jung Ahn.

Actually from all leads - Kim Tae Hee screaming in despair when she found out about Sung Hoon and Joo Won's entire existence in this drama  :rlytearpls:

 

Actually I faulted the writing on that. I would suppose you'd at least try to muffle your scream so no one hears you being in a room you're not supposed to be in lol...unless she thought the room was soundproof or sumn xD

 

But I dig the intensity. LOL

BRUH...

 

 

 

 

I know because of the plot, taehyun will get there in time...but as I watch it and see the ep end the way it did...I'm there like "WHY CAN'T HE GET THERE QUICKER OH GAWWWWWW" xD

 

 

 

 

Also lol at these important men not being able to tell sumn is WAY off??????

I really wish Cynthia was still around. She woulda kicked some henchman ass while looking fab

 

I AGREEEEEEEEEEEEE. LOL

 

Yeojin seems like she could be dangerous but...we haven't seen her exert much authority yet except for when she told director dude to kneel down. I need more of that "can't mess with me cuz I'm smarter than you and I own this" edge from Yeojin.

BRUH!!!!!

 

 

Fire ep.

 

 

 

Loved how it unfolded and I loved that it wasn't just a case of her waiting on Taehyun to show up...she put SEVERAL things in place...dang! So she proved her assertiveness...but for it all to happen she needed him to show up as her legal guardian. K.

 

It almost felt like it could have been the final ep the way things wrapped up so cleanly...but since it's NOT the final ep you know there are still things left to go down. I wonder what Yeojin has left to reveal, judging by that smirk at the end, there's sumn left...in fact...it almost seemed like she no longer needs the wheelchair...she's strong enough and just fine...she is probably the one responsible for President Go...and...she just needed Taehyun to bail her out from Dojoon's care...I hope she doesn't turn out to be a villain...lemme wait until tomorrow to see what's up in that regards...

 

Can't believe President Go went out like that...what a wuss! After all that big talk! It hasn't ended there tho...sumn's left on that end...I feel like Dojoon and his wife might get together and try a thing.

 

Also...the fluff in this ep, I was all for it. It made sense...it fit in...it wasn't rushed. THAT is how I tolerate fluff.

 

Also I adore that new security guard in charge of Taehyun. His little bits stole the show for me; from when he tested his own eye after seeing Taehyun test the lady to his little "grin but lemme stop grinning before someone sees me cuz I'm supposed to be serious" moment in the car. xD

 

 

 

 

K.Will's song is GORGEOUS~

Chaeyong is just spoiled. LOL and now that her power is stripped from her she's upset- that's all lol.

 

interested to see how it all wraps up...

we'll see if Taehee can manage to be slightly better than her brother or if she'll be just like him (she can't be with Taehyun by her side tho...that's the diff)

Well the writer def kept Yeojin true to her character. They didn't wuss her out not even for Taehyun. Ok acceptable.

 

But we got two more eps...let's see how they wrap it up without making the last two eps a snoozefest. I wonder if Chaeyong will raise hell...
