Excerpts taken from the Press Con of OGS...  (cr:Minlyn)

 

 
Reporter asks Jae-Rim if he has personally encountered occasions where he is confused between idealism and realism and when it is difficult to differentiate between the two. Jaerim replies that nowadays, due to stress, people may be confused between what it realistic and what is idealistic under many circumstances. Even if in reality, they should be feeling really satisfied and contented, but because of man's greed, one will never be easily contented nor satisfied with what he already has in life.
 
Heo Gab-Dol's situation is pretty similar to what the young people are going through right now. Things which he wants to do yet he is unable to do them. All sorts of Sampo generation (giving up on relationships, marriage and raising children), Opo Generation (giving up on relationships, marriage, raising kids, interpersonal relationships and buying a house) and Palpo generation (same as Opo generation plus 3 other things). Portraying the lives of the ordinary young people and the things which they are faced with. 
 
Reporter asks Soeun what she feels about the rise of the Sampo generation (younger generation who feel that they should give up on 3 central things which are usually considered as being part of a complete life). Soeun replies that though she has not personally encountered all these but from her close friends and her younger sister, there are many of them who are faced with problems like finding a job. Through all the experiences they have gone through and what they have shared with her, she is able to immerse herself better as she is playing the character of Shin Gab-Soon in the drama. This has really been a great help to her.
 
When the reporter asks Jaerim what are the strong points about the drama which he can share with the viewers and why they should watch OGS, Jaerim mentions that both the characters, Gab-Soon and Gab-Dol are very well portrayed in the drama and under the guidance and the immense help of the elders, they are able to act well. Moreover almost half of screenwriter's Moon Young-Nam's drama productions have garnered around 40% ratings in viewership. He also adds that the viewers will be able to look forward to watching an outstanding drama and the great teamwork among the cast. Viewers can also look forward to seeing this young couple living together and raising their kid together (Hehe, as he is saying this line, he turns to his left to look at Soeun). He adds that it is not just a drama revolving around the the life's trivialities of a young couple but the storyline is rather light-hearted too so the viewers can watch the drama with a light-hearted mood too. 
 
Reporter asks Soeun when she is faced with tit-for-tat's dynamics of a lover's quarrels and constant fights and conflicts, how would she go about resolving them. Soeun replies that she is not the type who will allows things to escalate to that extent. She adds that she will not let the relationship aggravate to that extent where there are frequent quarrels between the couple. She feels that in the development of a relationshipit is important to deal with the differences timely and to set it right there and then so that the conflicts can be resolved almost immediately. She will not let the relationship deteriorate to such a severe extent.
 
When Soeun is asked to comment on her role in the drama as it seems to deviate from the usual characters which she has portrayed before. Soeun says that this is the first time that her character has shared the same name as the title of the drama so if she were to say that she doesn't feel stressed or burdened, that would be a lie. She adds that naturally the burden is great, actually extremely great so that's why she cannot sleep well. On one hand, she is really glad to be able to take on such a role and on the other hand, she is also worried.
 


When she is filming the drama, she feels really happy doing it and while she is alone by herself, she will start feeling a little nervous and uneasy. Because there are just so many thoughts running through her mind, that's the reason why she can't fall asleep easily. She has put forth her best in acting the role well so she really hopes that the results will turn out well. Having watched the trailer today, she personally feels the effects are not bad so it's definitely a relief to her. She adds that she would have to watch the premiere tomorrow so that she will finally be able to sleep well. Up till now, she is still feeling rather nervous so she can't wait to watch its premiere.
 
When asked about the previous drama which she has starred in, A Good Day For the Wind to Blow, where she has received a lot of love from the elders and with her experiences in starring in a 50-episode drama previously, does she have any secret strategies that she can share with Jaerim. Soeun replies that in the drama, A Good Day For the Wind to Blow, she has received a lot of love and support from the older viewers because her character in the show is a really outgoing and cheerful person. Even when her character is faced with many obstacles, she will maintain a zealous spirit in dealing with all her problems and overcoming her difficulties (Yeah, I really liked her role in the drama then).
 
This time round, Gab-Soon is faced with many problems too and is always in constant quarrels with her boyfriend causing her to cry. But Gab-Soon also has a naturally bright and cheerful personality so the older viewers will like her character too. She also feels that friends of her age will also be able to resonate with the character. Both the younger and older generation will enjoy watching the drama. She also mentions that it isn't easy for an actor to star in a 50-episode long drama as you really need to keep up with your stamina. She adds that you really need to take good care of your health too and ensure that there is consistency in your acting. She adds that you really need to take great care of yourself. Where Oppa (Jaerim) is concerned, he has already been taking such great care of himself and he really knows how to pay attention to his health far more than she does. He really keeps himself fit so he is definitely not a cause of worry for her. 

Jaerim then went to share with the viewers on health supplements and tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
 
(Here comes my favorite part where the Director shares his views about the couple).
 
Director says that...
 
"Our Song Jaerim and Kim Soeun really put forth their best effort to act their roles well. Both of them really take good care of each other. Everyone has been saying that their onscreen chemistry is really great. While filming, there are many male and female leads who have gotten on well with each other but it's nothing compared to the chemistry which they have shared.
 
 
Though the both of them may not be that experienced, but whenever they encounter problems, they will always support and encourage each other. They will match each other's pace. As a Director, I do not want to comment much on what they should do. I prefer to maintain a distance so that I will be able to observe and learn too. Wherever I said that I'm worried about this or that, both of them will come up to me on their own accord and give their suggestions. Gab-Soon will talk about Gab-Dol and likewise Gab-Dol will talk about Gab-Soon.
 
 
That really surprises me. I asked them why do they have such good camaraderie. Song Jaerim's reply was because they have already been married before and they have also lived together once. He feels that they can get married for the second time. I believe that the through their hard work and the couple feeling which they give off, this will bring about more vitality to the drama. It will be filled with love and I will work hard too"

 

 

 

 

korean dispatch seems interested with our solim kiss last night. LOL

Ep 2 Live Recap...

 

GD's mom sees GD kneeling down before GS so she demands to know what he is doing and she told GD to go into the house. She demands to know why is GS making her son kneel before her when he has never knelt on his knees even in front of his own mom (implying does GS think that she is really so great to make her son do that for her). She starts ticking GS off saying as his girlfriend, what has she done for him all this while. And she asks GS if she has not even helped GD to pass his civil service exam. She blames  GS for causing GD to keep failing the exam. She demands that GS break off the relationship with her son.

 

GD tries frantically to call a weeping GS and keeps muttering, "Answer the phone call...".

 

GS' mom wants to borrow some money from her older son and daughter but it is no to avail.

 

GS' oppa accompanies his MIL to go to her gathering with her friends. Her friends are just there to consult him for more advice on the ailments they are facing.

 

 

 

As GS' mom fails to borrow the sum of money from her kids, she starts venting her frustrations on GS' dad telling him if he is so free, he can help out with the household chores.

 

Poor GS' sis, she is just being treated like a maid at her husband's home.

GS' oppa's MIL demands to know why is it she has bought so many expensive suits for him but she hasn't worn a single set of clothes that she has bought for him. She also demands for him to call her 'mother' not just address her by 'mom-in-law (MIL)'.

 

GS' mom starts blaming GS' dad for the failure in his business and he ended up  losing all his retirement funds so that's why the family is financially strapped and he is unable to support his kids for their education. The couple starts quarreling over financial matters and the woes they are faced with.  When GS' oppa tries to interfere lashing out that it's because of this (implying their parents' frequent quarrels over money), that's why he doesn't want to come home. Hearing his words, GS' dad becomes infuriated and gives him a tight slap on his face, causing his mom to break down into tears as her son stormed out of the house.

 

GS asks her oppa why did he act this way because this is unlike his usual self. Her oppa then withdraws a sum of money and tells her to give the money to their mom adding that it isn't much though.

 

GS tells her family that she wants to resume with her studies and informs GD that she will be moving away so that she can focus better on her studies and tells him that she wants to work hard on clearing her exams. GS is determined and and has set her mind to study hard for the sake of the family as she knows that only if she were to clear her exams, then she will be able to find a permanent job as a teacher and help out with the finances of the family.

 

GS' dad sends her to the temple where she can focus better on her studies and he evens cleans up the room and helps her to  carry all her luggage. Her dad tells her that there is nothing that a dad can't do for his daughter and encourages her to work hard. GS tells herself that she will work hard and try her utmost best to clear the exams.

 

GD is missing GS as he is seen studying in his room. His mom sees him and remarks that he can focus much better on his studies when GS isn't around.

 

Realizing that her menstruation is late, GS rushes into the convenience store to buy a pregnancy test kit.

 

GD's mom and sis and cleaning up the room as the former wants to rent it out to earn some extra income for the family. She tells her daughter to quit drinking too.

 

GS' sis drops by to visit her mom and buys some groceries for her. GS' mom says that she is worried as GS hasn't called home so she doesn't know if she is doing well and mentions that she wants to go to the temple and visit her. GS' sis says that she wants to come along too if her mom visits GS at the temple.

 

Poor GS' sis is asking her step-daughter what she wants to eat for lunch and the spoiled girl says that she wants to eat meat. Her sis then says that eating so much meat is not healthy for her body so she should eat more vegetables too. The girl then starts throwing tantrums. Guess she must have pestered her dad to bring her to eat galbi (barbecued meat) so he has brought along his own kids to dine at the eatery while leaving his wife at home. GS' sis has a son from her previous marriage. Seeing the scene of the family eating happily at the restaurant, this really saddens GS' dad as he didn't see his daughter and his grandson together with them. Granddad  then goes to school to pick his grandson up and brings him to  eat galbi and even buys a toy for him. A saddened GS' dad starts blaming himself for the fact that he is unable to provide a good life for his family.

 

GS alights from the bus and tries to call GD from a public telephone but when GD picks up his phone, GS couldn't bring herself to speak to him. She then starts calling her mom and her mom is really glad and relieved to hear her voice and asks how she is getting along. She tells GS to study hard in clearing her civil service exam. She also shares with GS about the dream that she had that GS manages to pass her exams. She sounded so happy and excited when telling GS about her dream so  GS couldn't bear to break her mom's heart with news of her pregnancy.

 

GS then arranges to meet up with her eonni and her sis remarks that GS has lost some weight and asks if she is eating well. Seeing the old clothes that GS is wearing her sis tells GS that she will bring her to the department store and get some new clothes.

The last scene...

GS goes to a jjimjibang and bumps into her aunt there so she tries to hide herself from her. GS then goes to look for her eonni so her sister is puzzled why she is here to see her at such a late hour. Eonni asks why isn't she at the temple and what has happened, GS then blurts out that she is pregnant.

Hi! So far I'm not very impressed with the directing. There are plenty of moments intended to be funny but they came off as awkward instead, ex. Gab Dol slipping and falling in his room, hiding from Gab Soon after coming home from a date, flirting with Lala. It might be because 50+ ep dramas seem to cater toward an older audience. But yeah, I found the Lala/reunion part hard to watch because the acting felt forced, or I don't know, it just felt like something was lacking ;; Oh Hae Young had plenty of these reunion scenes, but it was wonderfully directed and I didn't stop to question if if it was unnatural.

 

Kim So Eun pulls off her role well though, I think! I actually found SJR a little more stiff, I think it's because this role is new to him.

 

That kiss when they made up, though? That made up for quite a lot, haha. I'm looking forward to the next episode mainly because I want to see Gab Dol change. Drastically, even if it's slowly!!

 

Drastically even its slowly? well since its the 50 eps drama. so yeah  :hurr:
