Tae Ho
In the shining galaxy of A.N.JELL, Bangtan Sonyeondan & CNBLUE
Yong-ee was desperately looking for his older sister, only for her to be captured and jailed in the same prison cell as him, but he didn't know it was her. when he found out later, he tried to manipulate the rope used for her death penalty but his trick was found, and he had to witness his sister's death execution in public. fckin hell.also didn't understand why Ja Dol gave away Yong's sister identity. turned out he was promised she won't be killed, as well as a place in the official palace appointment but the position was later on given to his asshole elder brother. damn. the level of tragedy in this.

Holy hell. The sheer tragedy in this episode.1. Lee Gyum's father was killed for accusation of treason. And his body was taken to the public for it to be ripped apart by several horses and the kid stumbled into it. Damn.2. His mother was walked in the public as a doomed prisoner and he was told to throw stones at her and did so to hide the truth about his real identity.3. Young Bong Soon brother who may have gotten killed. And she luckily was saved by the military officer who chased them down. That man gave her to be taken care by a lady but she was listening through the lady conversation saying she'll be sold to a dying old man for the tale of increased vitality. WTAF. Fckin disgusting.4. Luckily young Bong Soon was smart not to simply follow the lady and instead followed the ahjussi who saved her. Later on we saw they grew up as father-daughter.//The young Bong Soon, i was so blown away by her acting. The way she cried touched me. She's no less cute visually compared to Kim Yoo Jung who's playing young Eun Chae who's a noble descendant. She's also in Extracurricular as adult actress, i might watch that drama for her LOL.She must have a bright future ahead of her. So young and so talented!!!

HOLY HELL. THAT EXPLOSION. THAT FCKIN EXPLOSION. this drama really outdid itself in this episode.Vincenzo really has no qualms burning things down at a very grand scale LOL, reminds me of the opening in ep. 1 when he burnt down the whole vineyard of that mafia boss.things that i really loved in this episode:1. when Cha Young stood up against the zumba lawyer with full gusto after submitting her resignation. wow, i wanna give the girl a standing ovation. i don't know how she becomes so fearless, but she's fckin incredible!!!2. when Cha Young took over her late father's law firm and commit herself to finish the cases, also to seek justice for her father's death also the case involving Babel Group. applause!3. when Vincenzo teamed up with her after she offered to win him Geulga Plaza no matter what. and the scene quite at the end when he treatened to run the zumba lawyer over at the self-service laundry place with truck-kun of doom. hot damn.4. the scene when Vincenzo took out the Russian pistol and really pull a shot, LOL. i was dumbfcked when i saw that scene. you can't tell me that Vincenzo suddenly commit a murder in Korea, WTFH and that too with a witness. thank god it was just a prank and Mr. Han was a former special effects makeup artist HAHAHAHAHA you got me!!!5. when they go over to Babel Group pharmaceutical warehouse and burnt down the entire buildings with full scale explosions. i also loved that their accomplices were seen to be family members of the victims of Babel Group failed drug trials. honestly, this writer knows how to pull our heartstrings with small moments.6. when Intern Jun-Woo finally made an appearance after receiving notice that his company's warehouse burnt down as the hyung-nim, or the real Chairman Jang, and that another big explosion happened right in front of his eyes LOL. the rage in his eyes wow, i can't wait to see how he'll do everything in his power to destroy our heroes.FCKIN INCREDIBLE SO FAR. i got bored when CLOY had draggy scenes but so far i didn't mind it here because i find all characters solidly interesting, of course including the tenants at the Plaza.

HOLY FCKIN HELL. THAT ENDING. i had my volume up on a blast and was literally shocked as fckk when i saw that scene. i am still tryna process that scene, i didn't expect that coming so soon gdamnit.this episode was literally quite peaceful and slow almost all throughout the first 45-50 minutes. then bamm, they gave you all the hook you needed in the last 25-30 minutes.this episode had Vincenzo playing more on the background because he refused to get too involved in the case against Babel Group that the ahjussi lawyer is working on. so in the entire episode, the ahjussi lawyer had more screen time than him. and true enough i was starting to feel that i wanted to see more of the ahjussi-Vincenzo duo fighting against the monsters instead of him doing it alone but i couldn't think of a paradigm shift that will change Vincenzo's mind for it. i just realised after finishing this episode that the ahjussi lawyer is not even in the main role and that explains HE'S EXACTLY THE PARADIGM SHIFT NEEDED, damn :(i kept thinking, how can a person be this upright and persistent to fight against injustice? turned out he's not one without a fatal flaw. he left his wife to die alone because he was busy fighting the world, which made his daughter resent him. i've really wanted their difference in values explained, and now i get it. my heart aches because it makes sense, and suddenly my view of Cha Young's character changed to be more tolerable.things that i am looking forward to see:1. if Vincenzo will make amends with his dying mother, and represent her, and whether she'll stay alive to clear her name despite having a terminal illness.2. how Vincenzo and Cha Young will eventually team up for the same cause since they annoy each other LOL.3. what's the real deal with the ahjumma prosecutor-lawyer. was she the one who ordered for the white truck-kun of doom? WTFH.4. Taec-yeon's real identity.

The misery he feels upon realizing that he loves the robot Aji 3 is very well acted. I literally chocked seeing his cry, especially in ep. 18 when he finally decided to reset Aji 3. Reminds me of Lee Joon's character in My Father is Strange when he fell in love with someone who's forbidden to him.Also the reset button scene is really heart-wrenching because that's exactly how two people who love each other a lot but have to separate would act. Gdamn it's so good but sad.From ep. 12 when she stole his first kiss in the rain to him questioning how Aji 3 refused to acknowledge they kissed LOL, gosh must have sucked to be him.He's such a lonely person and they deserved each other so much. Please writer-nim give us happy moments juseyoooo. :/

Great episode! I'm especially suspicious of the Mayor's son and the policeman who works at the data archives department. Everyone in the village could be a suspect literally LOL.

the way he followed her all the way to the Eohwa Island because he is worried for her safety because of his brother, yet lied/hide the truth from her about it (even though he's still not sure if she's the one), i find it so darn cute :(

Descendants of the Sun Episode 7
1 people found this review helpful
gosh the natural disaster rescue operation is so heartbreaking. i really love this drama for doing the military side so well. i feel as heartbroken as Dr. Moo Yeon when she had to choose between the two injured people who are stuck, one pressed down by a huge concrete lab and the other one who got stabbed by a piece of it to his chest.i knew she was going to choose the latter one.i love the scenes when there's a foreign worker who gifted his boots for her to wear, and then later on she returned his shoes to him. small acts of kindness that really touches your heart.i'm kinda regretful that i'm giving this drama a chance a little so late. everywhere i hear people talking about DOTS they only talk about the lead couple's romance (on-screen or off-screen), i have not came across a comment that objectively says how good this drama is.i am really enjoying it, but it's such a heartbreaking one :(every episode has been so freaking good since ep. 1, at least when they take the cheesy lines away and the drama moves towards being more mellow and realistic about their 'clashes'.

watching this i must have let out as many sigh as Kim Jong Kook did when shooting this episode. Shin Bong Sun was the worst fckin guest ever!!! she forced skinship with KJK, had super cringey and corny lines and was so plain obsessive it was unfathomable. she literally hit Jae Suk and Suk Jin with the broom so many times, that was so fckin rude. and the forehead kiss, wow when Kim So Roo turned away from them i totally feel that. i wish i could have watched this episode with her face completely edited out to someone else's because b*tch was irritating as fckk.

Shin Young (comedian), Son Dam Bi and Se7en were great guests. loved the tea time segment LOL, but the game of chances to determine the final winner is a bit unfair i thought.

OMG so many important things happened in this episode. *spoiler ahead don't read unless you've watched the show* 1. the scene when they ended ep. 18 where Jung Hwan realised he was still a moment late than Taek to reach Duk Seon, and then here they showed how Taek finally mustered up the courage to tell/ask for Jung Hwan's approval for him to pursue Duk Seon for himself. also the scene at the hotel when Duk Seon got locked out of her hotel room in China, and then Taek said she can sleep in his hotel suite, then when he was about to take his sleeping pills, Duk Seon had a slip-of-the-tongue and said that "why, will you kiss me like before?". I was literally SHOOKT. LOL that means this show has been clowning us and it wasn't a dream after all holy sh*t. and the way he just kissed her right away because there's nothing to hold back from anymore, wow Bogum is a great kisser! also the kiss scenes between Sun Woo and Bora LOL, these two literally can't get their lips off each other lmao their kiss scenes are sizzling hot!also the ending scene when Ra Mi Ran had menopausal despair and Jung Hwan arranged for a renewal of wedding vow ceremony for his parents, and the scene when Dong Il's kids gifted him with a plaque to thank him for his decades long of work service, that was incredibly moving. ahh this drama is really something else!

literally reading all the frustrated comments about the police procedural plot holes with popcorn LOL, because i don't care.i like the dramatism, HAHA.and that scene when the duo were running fiercely like a pack of hyena towards the escaping criminal after he abducted Shin Jae Yi was a total eye candy OMG. my heart is jumping out from their hotness, lmao.love how well the scene is shot because Sun Jae follows Kwang Ho closely behind him, but they run at different sides of the narrow street (left and right) so the camera captures both in one frame. it's a really beautiful camerawork!

i know some people are a little unsatisfied about the ending being an open one, without showing how him returning to the past and changing it affects the future.well they could've taken this drama forward in different directions according to what the writers imagined them since the midway of the second half, and i believe the path they took has been a really impressive ride after considering multiple factors to keep the viewers engaged and immersed into the characters.there was not one single moment that i found this to be a drag, contrary to what some people thought.in fact i was a crying mess at the 'final' scene. i probably felt as empty as the actors when they completed filming for this drama.definitely top of my faves list. will come back for a rewatch after more time has passed, LOL.

Park Kwang Ho's emotional scenes in this are plenty, almost linear and well spread-out, but Kim Sun Jae's although sparse, but his are the most intense emotional outbursts i have seen anywhere in a k-drama, probably ever. the most memorable scene about him in the entire drama was the intense physical fighting between him and Jung Ho Young in the woods in ep. 10 when he almost killed Shin Jae Yi. but i forgot there's actually another one when Jung Ho Young confessed to killing Sun Jae's mother 30 years ago to mock him, when he actually did not. and Sun Jae almost killed this bastard again, LOL. well, he just briefly choked him, but his anger was definitely intense.it's what almost well-known of about his personality type. the quiet, repressed people are a lot scarier when they get angry or lose their sh*t, phewww.i find this duo's tandem really amusing to watch. when one of them loses his temper, the other one is usually pretty calm, LOL.i also had another scene that i really liked in the whole duration of the drama that happened exactly in this episode. that is after Shin Jae Yi woke up after almost being killed by Jung Ho Young, she made a witness statement and then her body recalls the traumatic experience so she was almost hallucinating and shivering. the girl who kept on saying she's okay previously even when she's not, finally broke down and confessed that she's not okay, and that she was hurt/in pain until Sun Jae hugged her.also Park Kwang Ho was just by the door listening to their conversation, while he couldn't help but cry after realising how much his daughter was hurt, and how close he was to losing her.also, it's truly phenomenal how much of an impact it is to the story when a great actor who also looks creepy plays the role of a serial killer, the likes of Jung Ho Young. all the confrontation/interrogation scenes between him and the duo are utterly phenomenal.gahhh, this drama can seriously sweep clean all the acting awards, g'damnit!

ouh God, here we go.the most hated episode in the entire series by a lot of people (well, not me).halfway through the episode, Jung Ho Young called Kim Sun Jae again because he was triggered by what his mother said about him in TV interview.Shin Jae Yi overheard the phone call, and intervened. she validates Jung Ho Young who kept repeating that some of the other murders like the Haein River murder was not his. she also tried to provoke him by asking if it was hatred for his mother that made him kill women.Park Kwang Ho was fuming in anger about that, because he's afraid that her validation and provocation of him will only trigger him to commit another murders. so he warned her angrily that if there is someone else who died after that, the responsibility is on her.after that she probably was thinking deeply about what Park Kwang Ho said, and decided to offer herself as a bait by coming out in a TV interview, to avoid another woman being murdered.the biggest problem is that she lured the serial killer out without any backup plan to safeguard her safety LOL. and true enough if she wasn't lucky that the detectives were quick enough to run to her rescue, she would've died then. SHE WAS THAT STUPID!as someone who've only enjoyed this drama for what it has offered, even i had to spend some time away to think about whether that serious flaw in the writing is lethal enough for me to take this drama off my favourites list.but eventually i know i don't want to. SIMPLY BECAUSE THE DRAMATISM WORKED ON ME, LOL.of course when i say this i am not saying i am condoning the unthinkable level of stupidity that was illustrated. i am just saying that sometimes she comes across as over-confident and at the same time naive, therefore people like this are bound to make the stupidest mistakes.you know, like those people who are cheated a lot of money off financial scams, but are actually well-educated.so i am just gonna move along and take the entirety of that as not entirely illogical on her part, considering the way she's written.phewww. glad to get that off my chest. let's move on with the story, shall we.
