wow ep 10 rocks

omg that cliffhanger at the end of ep 9!
the main villain actor is so PERFECT for that role, he is so handsome and "official" and pleasant looking and so well spoken,.... , but his face!!!!! the expressions on his face, the look in his eyes, he is 100% EVIL
e really drives the point home that all those smooth looking "authorities" politicians famous ppl have a lot more to them tan just the looks and sweet words....

Ma Bong is super cute here but he is aot a hearthroab death for chicken character lmao

lmao

yeah thats possible

Congrats
but how did that malnourished anorexic looking lady had a baby... ????

lmao yes He really believes in gangster life....
I am waiting for him to fall in love like his boss lmao His boss is so "hemorhoids" type stiff and proud guy
but when this silly cute hot boy falls, I wanna see what THAT will look like

that in itself could be a great new rom com - bc he is trained and by nature is super loyal and he is obedient and dedicated, and even when he is not, he at least TRIES to maintain the veneer of obedience, so falling in love with a woman who is very "law obiding" honest but hot and dedicated to him and standing up to him in openly challenging ways, "retraining him" and then he changing his lifestyle and belief system to hers, would be a super fun rom com - with him in the ML role and maybe they even have kids and their parenting strategies clash lmao It would be fun

`0h shoot i forgot about that bc I was so frustrated with BTB ending, two selfish egoistical MENTAL lazy complacent scared cowardly greedy spoiled cold distant isolated reserved calculated cunning brats just keeping shut down bc it is more convenient ... Yeah it was a realistic ending but it ruined the drama imo Bc a drama should NOT be about the most probable LOW END EASY SLEAZY plot and esp not the ending! I will forever remember that drama as an utmost failure, as a BLAND, CONVENTIONAL, MAINSTREAM COMMERCIAL, LIFELESS, NO ENERGY, SLEAZY STALE drama

SO THANK YOU for reminding me of the second leads plot! I almost forgot about it... that was the best thing about that drama
and it was almost a shicophrenic split - the Lead couple was sooo cold, distant, calculated reserved, - and the whole law world was - and then the second lead was soooo exuberantly hot in pursuit, ..... so ALIVE and ENERGETIC ... he seemed so out of place in that dead stale cesspoppl

And yeah he was cute there too but it seemed out of context a little bit that such as emotional loving giving passionately HOT guy was in that cold, distant mental greedy place

So I can see what happened - this drama took his BTB role and put it into an appropriate context where it is super hilarious as well and he can be as cute and expressive as he can possibly be ,minus the romance

I think his second lead BTB role could be and should be spawn into a drama on its own and he should be the ML role in that rowdy rom com with tinges of thriller - it could be a "real life law" drama bc he has it all for such a role . He could be a lawyer, a ganster - a small kind - or a CEO that does things his own way He could be even someone self employed, like a very rowdy plumber or electrician who has fun with his female clients - or they chase him - and then finds the one... There are lots of jobs where the person can be expressive lmao
yeah a new rom com that crosses Again My Life/Lawless layer thriller or some gangster thriller with the hot romance from BTB and comedy flavor from 50s Professionals

Yeah this actual would be IDEAL for that role
I hope someone makes that drama with him.

Koreans are chasing $$$$$ so they downgraded dumbed numbed kdramas, now kdramas are STALE AND STAGNANT MAINSTREAM COMMERCIAL BORING..... main leads are usually some very bland "respectable" people with poker face and personality of cardboard, so nobody from the audience gets offended or ticked off, and then MAYBE there are second leads or side characters who are spunky and keep the drama alive. Most new kdramas are so boring!!! the main characters are so boring!!!!! Even rom coms are based on poker faced main characters, most rom coms these days do not have the COMEDY

So taking piece of old roles of this actor and making a totally new rowdy rom com thriller with him as the ML would be FANTASTIC

Here in this drama, his role is officially not comedic, but it IS super comical just by the nature of his character and how the actor acts it. His acting skills are amazing. I am so glad the director/scriptwriter let him act and express a lot, seems like as much as he wanted. That is so REFRESHING and makes the drama so good

Bc the best part of kdramas is that rowdy subtle sense of humor that makes fun of everything but in a very compassionate and warm way, it is like - omg this is hilariously silly but I understand and I symphatize with the character.... I am not where kdramas get that deep sense of COMPASSION AND WARMTH, that satirical honest look at everything but with deep appreciation and understanding ,,,

Like in this drama, that silly cute boy is silly and cute and everything in between, we see all his bad sides and all his good sides, and we laugh at him and we sympathize with him and cheer him on to improve, we are emotionally attached to see him "win" and become a hero in his own life,,, Only kdramas have that ability to TOTALLY make fun of any situation and character but keep that compassionate cheering on for the situation/ characters.. It is like... what hope and God's compassion must look like...

Only kdramas have that rowdy satire with compassion these days... .I looked around and cant find it anywhere else... So that's why 99% of my watch is kdramas .... but if they go down ... I am not gonna watch anything.
In the USA, it already died by around 2006... there WERE great satires like Idiocracy, Groundhog day, Truman Show, even Matrix, White Chicks, Legally Blonde, etc etc .. Equilibrium, They live, etc etc .... Twilight Zone.... etc Selfie Ignite... etc but it is all GONE

And the only ones who still have it is kdramas
I think it comes from their rough history, from their current and past situations where they are a small place surrounded by big powerful aggressive, and still somehow surviving and thriving, and still ... overthrowing bad ppl and governments lmao Koreans are an impressive nation, imo. And that HUMOR in their dramas really shows that "higher level of thinking" - they have kept their sense of OBJECTIVE EVALUATION, WITH COMPASSION

And now all my interactions with Koreans living in Hawaii and otherwise are kinda coming into a place, a deeper understanding. Somehow Koreans kept the ability to be HONEST IN A KIND WAY.
It is too bad that their nation is going extinct with the globally lowest birth rate... partially due to their new fetish of super skinny ... perhaps to Fukushima radiation... etc I wish them to survive and thrive bc their way of thinking produces MASTERFUL storytelling

Well this is a very long reply lmao but I really got on the roll here, this exchange helped me connect some dots in my head, if you read it all, wow! and if you didnt , that's totally fine :) HAVE A NICE DAY

100% agree :)

I cant find that post now where someone said that JH had a smile when he saw that the bonsai went to the kids and the commenter was hoping that JH is on the side of the good team... Ppl still think there is something nice left in JH?

. I just watched that ep, JH certainly did not have a smile, and certainly was PISSED OFF that HY got robbed. JH is totally on HY's side. He is a perfect gang boss in HY's gang

And HY is done, since SmartMi figured out how to beat HY :) so the drama is ending... All the good stuff left for the very very very very end...
Imo the bonsai donation should have happened in ep ... 30!!!! then HY could steal the trees, or ... whatever. There should have been more back and forth, not only DumbMi eaten alive by anakonda HY

Quote of another hilarious comment from @potato:

"Day 1050 of waiting for Bokgil oppa to rise from the dead! xDD"
lmao

LMAO I am gonna quote you lmao this is hilarious

Indeed he is so cute here - annoying immature brat but super cute, so expressive and lively and communicative, like a little pomeranian doggie :)
I just saw he was in Beyond the Bar - I cannot remember him... ? ??? where was he in that drama... ? That drama was .. well.. sooo.... sterile droning .... had the exact droning feel of bureaucracy and paperwork. ....

dont you think you have prejudice about what is attractive and lovable and what isnt? Ppl are ppl and they fall in love and the looks behavior etc is just ... not so important

you need to learn what love is
"loving" only a certain way is not love :)

He fell in love bc she is the first and only one who SAW him for what he is, who was honest, who praised him and thanked him when he did well, and scolded him when he didnt. She was genuine and treated him as genuine. That is huge

imo you have prejudice and set ways of what you think a woman should do / look like. That is sad, bc you are leaving behind about 90% of women as "not womenly enough"

Imo she was dressed so cool!!! I LOVE HER WARDROBE! it was so creative. modernized version of Joseon clothes, it was AMAZING!!! i think FL was a great fashionista!!

and her behavior is totally cool too! She is a gangsta and I loved it.

Hm ppl do not live in vacuum - these ppl will have pasts and presents and circumstances - families, exes, their own unfillfilled crushes, office politics, debts, past mistakes, hobbies, side kicks, secrets, shames, diseases, addictions, failures, successes, etc etc etc

so having "just" a rom com is practically impossible with adults :)

Maybe... a pure rom com could be about a bunch of middleschoolers on vacation :) and the drama spans like 2 weeks at a summer home -
so they are so young they have no past, there is no adults around with pasts and presents, there is no money problems and they can just flirt and date lmao

already with highschoolers it becomes complicated lmao bc they already have BAGGAGE

oh yeah hwood, 2 ppl on a vacation lmao

Actually hwood has some interesting relatively pure romcoms, about ppl who have everything in their life and arent thinking of anything beyond just living well,
Jennifer Aniston has several of those at least...

The best part of falling apart dramas is the commentary section, where ppl make memes and make fun.... I didnt watch the drama but I read the comments lmao This @Shinubi comment got me rolling off the chair and it sums up the plot:

"This is what will be happening for the rest of this drama: each day someone will return from the dead. They will pop up one by one, returning from the graves, including the cats"

Enjoy!.

lmao the cats I will quote you lmao

i did

I really enjoy watching Dai Chi and Crystal, they are fantastic villains :) They are annoying and nasty as well as fun, so COMPLEX, and acted so well, they are just fantastic villains
I want to know how Dai Chi turned out to be the way he is and where he comes from. Who is his mother, what happened with her, why we never saw Dai Chi as a boy while Grandpa was dating Grandma with her daughter. We saw grandma's daughter but not little boy Dai Chi - where was he??? he must have been in the picture back then. His mom was somehow gone and Grandpa found Grandma - but where was Dai Chi? And what made him so bad? Did Crystal ruin him? he must have been bad before that too, otherwise he wouldnt like someone like Crystal ... she is a poisonous rat
