I need these in real life.. In hawaii, judges and attornys steal homes... just the start o a real life hell is in change.org/hawaiicondo and so much more crime by then happened so far

what makes acting "adult" - having 18+ scenes.. ??? Heck no. Those scenes are just TMI used as a filler, to somehow mask lack of content.
We can have a deal and show a kiss here and there but beyond that is total TMI.
These ppl obviously know what to do and are not gonna be lost when left alone, so LEAVE THEM ALONE, no voyeuring ....

0:42 is HILARIOUS when he finds herself in her 9 tails, totally dumbfounded LOL LOL LOL

Wow. I saw that drama. I was not impressed with it.
Wow the original chairman of Samsung had 8 kids, and they all had at least 1-2 kids, and married into other big companies and assemblymen,......... and they made Samsung and zillion spinoffs - Samsung Group, with zillion spinoffs, CJ , etc etc So there are zillion people and zillion dramas as they all have dramatic lives. ... wow. Seems like each family member's life could be a separate drama...

FYI: in the drama he does not look 52. It is makeup, lights, photoshop, whatever, but he looks ... mid to late 40ish. And FL ... witih makeup lights and her shabby clothes... looks late 30ish... they look totally all right together. Only sometimes in the drama I get to see maybe the front of his neck that gives his age... but those moments are rare... Bc he is so animated and lively, his body language and bahavior makes it feel like he is in late 30s or early 40s... He is energetic His smile makes him look young.

But real life photos of him with his real gfriend at Emmy's make him look his age. I just saw it a few minutes ago for the first time. That photo I saw... with a rather grumpy face... shall I say a forced smile and sqinting eyes.... "i dont want to be here but I have to do it" looks ... like at least mid or late 50s. Without a smile, he looks much older.

I had no idea who he was LOL I dont watch anything like Squid Games and I am not following celebrity gossips.. I have never even heard of this actor before this drama and for a few episodes I had no idea he was in Squid games LOL And just today I learned of his real life gfriend...

Seems like his gfriend was the wife of a Samsung son and had 2 kids with him while he was still a relative baby at the company... and it was over or whatever reason when he stepped forth as a shark... That dude is the youngest son but got to be the heir somehow..... Wikipedia menions "power struggle".... His dad Chairman got convicted for tax evasion in 2008... and in 2009 the son went back in as a high execitive the wife divorced him... so the wife happened before major scandals... bud did she date this actor since 2006....?
and then he continued sharky to the point of getting into jail!!!and political bribery that led to impeaching the FEMALE president.. and societal enrage against chaebols.. wow... Wow her ex is not only the chairman of Samsung... he is the cousin of Samsung spinoff, CJ Group, chairman who was also in jail for tax evasion and embezllement and another Samsung Spinoff, Shinsegae Group, CEO, who is grandson of an assemblyman and Samsung Chairman... and friend of Trump and pushing conservative into Asia.. and a protestant... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chung_Yong-jin ...... His mom also has a story worth of a drama... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Myung-hee and his wife is an actress and lost custody of 2 kids etc etc etc .... wow... this is toal drama!!!! ...... soooo wow there is this Lee - Samsung empire....

this is a drama in itsel!!! how come nobody made this drama... ? bc the dude is still the chairman of Samsung... ? LOL :(

I knew something was fishy bc nobody responded to my comment in the Discussion in this drama as to why I am writing a lot these days LOL that silence spoke volumes and now I understand why

The useful thing about having a famous influential actor in a drama is that actors are great, and camera and production ppl are stellar, whoever puts the drama together is a master, the time lapses and story are filmed masterfully

yeah there is anger, jealousy and curiosity from SH to JW... and it is now A LOT more complex bc he knows that JW used him, that HN flirted with her the entire time and that now she and HN *** have been shipping( **** and HN betrayed him from the start... and also... that JW and HN are plotting to bring down *** his *** company....

So... SH was lied to, used, betrayed, and is now the target of active ATTACK. so the marriage created a lot of plot... and episodes :) LOL

yes but marriage was the script hook to get SH into the game "for real" and also to get RealYC into the game... now SH is jealous and turning into a monster, and RealYC is seducing him... so .. the marriage created drama episodes LOL

"at least" means "at least 3 as official fiances or wives" and based on his shower behavior, and what he said to HN, many MANY more unofficially, as he is well aware of his powers in bed and women jumping on him. If RealYC really enjoyed it as she claimed, then he is even at least somewhat skilled..... the shower scene shows him proud of his bed activities. Does he have real abilities or women pretend bc he is rich?.... or both...

So RealYC has a history of sleeping around and being good at it, and she sleeps around for fun and also for business, her mom NS said? How many was that... ?

We do not know much about SH... and we should. We have glimpses that he is an entitled obedient heir..... and thinks that it's ok to sack any beautiful woman who really insists... so how many was that so far.... ? We know that SH was toying with the idea of torturing realYC's lover.... WHO IS SH REALLY???

@Shinubi, WHen did we learn that HN is a virgin? He does not seem experienced for sure but we do not know about his life at all... except that HN was adopted and his adoptive dad was a chaebol of questionable lifestyle and was killed his wife,HN's adoptive mom . WHY was HN adopted by a cheabol family...???? by some dude who was a gambler womanizer - WHY would someone like that adopt a kid ... from orphanage???? How about his life before and after that adoption? We do not know how the drunk gambling womanizer dad behaved when HN was around and not around... how dad and NS treated him... WHO IS HN REALLY? We need to learn more...

It seems to me that HN's start without parents and knowing he was adopted leads to some submissive behaviors and now kissing up to JW and hiding all her criminal activities... He confuses love with collusion..

oooh I just googled she is a born chaebol ... and is now the Vice Chairwoman effectively Chairwoman of Daesang Group, a major South Korean food conglomerate.... and they have *dated* since 2015 and possibly 2010 or earlier... knew each other since 2005 and she got divorced in 2009 ..... they live together.... wow that one sentence of yours is a kdrama in itself... and there must be a lot more behind this that I dont know...and that very few would know.... if there is so much money behind this actor.... oh well.... But - he *is* charming for sure :) I had no idea that he is a Squid actor and so famous - I never watched Squid games nor was interested to research it - and I saw him in an interview when I was researching Nice to Not Meet You, deciding to watch it or not, and I thought he was charming. He has a nice smile and is polite.

I wrote God decides who "fits" ... and, the movie lacks the eros part and is not interesting to me as much. It seems done to appeal to older gentleman to feel great about themselves... and perhaps entice younger women to go along... But as I said... this is a tradition in India and also some yoga practices etc exlude s#x-for-fun so .... anything is possible and those two might be going towards enlightment :) or might have a few memorable quality years.... That dude is going to 70 and out of comission while she is in her prime... Then... I wonder what will happen .She lived 34 years without s@x and probably could live from 40 on without it too... ? but she was trying to snag him to bed in London... so... she might as well try again with someone else then... and he would have to choose to stay quiet or divorce...

>>>Your sentence about the real life dating totally interests me.....

The actor DOES have boyish charm and ability to be appeasing to people - I saw him in an interview in real life - and he certainly could snag a sugar mama or anyone he wants, he has the "personal resources" to do so - he *is* charming and polite and thus has the "personal resources" to play games - so does he use this to his advantage?... I have no idea about anything happening there, I dont follow news about celebrities, but this is interesting... As I said, worthy of a drama ....

Ah thank you, I feel the same about cdramas!!! Movie Xiang Zhang is a precious gem, imo Korea never made something that deep.... . I also saw Bond and was impressed. Although it is about just survival... they do not really have the luxury of character growth.... Stephen Chow from Hong Kong movies are all good...

So I gave up fishing in open ocean LOL I will check those then, thanks for saving fishing time :)

This is a psychological thriller and everyone is some kind of thief or murderer .... Ppl are cheated or killed left and right... it is like a hell pit... Wow.. JW and HN should NEVER be together during this hell time. Even when it is over... maybe...

SH and JC ... lol We need to know more bout SH and JC. About JC we already have a solid idea - she was a bully girl by ... middle school? and stayed that way... How did she become that way? What are her current dreams and goals?

SH is interesting bc he has some good traits like ... trying to be faithful to the woman he loves .. ... but he has entitlement training ... so gives up after one wine glass..... and has some killer genes and training as a heir of K group... his father is indoctrinating him.. So... he was kept as an obedient boy but he is the heir so he is starting to get deeper into kh cesspool of criminal acts to grab $$$

So .. will SH actively JOIN the evil side as an active participant... ? or the sake of being a heir?

bc... little baby boy SH has these ideals of ah loving his woman, but as soon as his dad says - AND YOU GONNA LOSE KUYHANG GROUP!!! - our little SH shuts up immediately.

He is already entitled and spoiled and has murky morals, he slept with YC and then justified it so eloquently - it was not his fault...
So how much is going to sell his soul to be the heir? WHO IS SH REALLY???

We do not even know about HN... ok his dad was killed... but .. his dad aparently was a gambler womanizer etc ... and NS mentioned some ... child abuse... ??? so... ???? and HN was adopted ... ? so how is that playing out?? I bet it is related to clinging to JW and covering up her crimes..... What kind of "mom" was Nan Suk?..... ?? why did NS want an upright and moral young man son by her side... ???

THESE ARE ALL COMPLEX THINGS BUT THE DRAMA DOES NOT TALK ABOUT IT< WE JUST GET TO SEE THE CHESS GAME OF PPL TRYING TO OUTDO EACH OTHER, BUT WE DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHO THE PLAYERS ARE AND HOW THEY THINK AND WHAT MOTIVATES THEM. Some are just too flat one sided

I bet that Ki Bom's widow and manager Hwang are gonna ship :) She is looking the best ever after Ki Bom disappeared and the handsome HELPFUL AND QUIET hunk appeared LOL Ki Bom was so crude rude and all his good qualities of being a rather honest and upright man were just burried under his constant bitching, yelling and ordering around.

I am curious to see what will break Nak Suk. I think a guy. She is sensitive to the topic. Seems like Nan Suk went bad after bad experiences with her first cheater husband... WAS SHE IN LOVE WITH CHAIRMAN???? HR is certainly correct, NS is jealous of not being loved.... by anyone? or by the Chairman...?

Sweet Killer Chairman is beyond any redemption arc bc he is just wired wrong. He is truly a serial killer and there is nothing that can be done about that.
Nak Suk... maybe ... has some room to grow.

What a huge contrast between this drama and something like Indian 2007 Cheeni Kum which incorporates (and makes fun of people who say who follow) Gandhi principles, it is a rom com on a totally different level..

Someone must have heard us praising SJ so they took him off and put KC into the first plan nd wow was it a good move!!!!

GC ACTRESS IS ACTING THESE LAST EPISODES!!! esp ep 123 where she acts as a real mom, she is such a good actress

Lucia was finally favored by the script in the few last episodes too and got to shine in her mom scenes

My conclusion is that giving side actors more screen time is a good idea

wow i checked plots o those wood movies it is so dark... and, I dont watch horror. The only one is Haunted House, by fast fprwarding horror scenes. And Twilight Zone bc it is not too bad and lasts only 30 mins :) Oh I also tried Head Over Heels kdrama... and ... wow that was ... awful ... dangerous... scary... Koreans should refrain from such

Oh never saw those wood movies, will check them out. I love sci i :)
So Definitely check out the Twilight Zone... sci fi episodes on alien cookbook, The Martian among us, several versions o Adam and Eve and creation of men, etc etc etc They are each an independent episode ... made by a Vietnam vet...
And... movie Fifth Element. Bruce Villis in a sci fi thrilled shot by Europeans, so it actually has messages and content...

"Moscow does not believe in tears" is a great movie, it would be one of my favs, except, how he fell for her on that train is super fishy, he just met her and instantly claimed he loved her and instantly attached to her... ???? I wish they developed that. Esp since THAT is sci fi in Russia where there are 5 women on 1 mn..

DId you see Russian slapstic comedy with Shurik following a girl reading a book? That is hillarious. And meaningless :) no censor can deny it LOL I got recoms for other russian movies, like parking space issue, etc but .. never found them interesting.

I totally agree on jdramas... so very few are "alive". Jdrama Only for Married jdrama has amazing FL who is very expressive. Yudo drama was also subtle but expressive.

I watch kdrama only . I tried cdramas but they are too crude, too survival oriented, too rough. There is no humor. Cdramas are so heavy.... survival oriented.... It is just ... another planet...
Japanese are often too simple or too out of left field twisted.
Thai can be nice, I love movie The Crazy Thing Called love, Thai can have so much humor.. but it can be too lewd too.

I watch kdramas bc they are sophisticated, elegant, warm, teamwork, family, compassion, very lighthearted and sensitive but addressing serious topics. I love promoting good values like good food, good families, good liestyle and morals... minus the drinking as a form of therapy and socializing... :( Minus sexism and damsels in distress :(

I love kdrama humor. Kdramas make fun of everything and at the same time compassionately.

Very diferent than say Eastern Europe which also makes fun of everuthing, like in the Balkans, but the fun is rather ... sarcastic and hopeless.

kdramas have a knack for WARM compassionate kind of making fun of everything I lke that kdramas add humor into every genre, add rom com into every genre, add melodrama into every genre, add family, etc It is incredibly creative, all dramas are difierent, the costiming is so creative. the plots are so creative, there is wisdom in messages portrayed.

It is just very fine, the finest highest level I found so far globally.

WHen I recently discovered american movie Idiocracy from 2006, i was in awe of american ability to produce an amazing movie. It just seems to have stopped around 2006.

and kdramas are getting polluted. So I do hope they survive being genuinely Korean... And I suspect the roots of this korean wisdom are in Buddhism, it feels like that...

as I dont know anymore what is real and what is not... are we seeing real korea on the screen or some kollywood.... where everyone eats bread and ried chicken and sleeps in beds and goes catholic ... and eats Kopiko... ? Kopiko is obvious but I am afraid all those other details are just ... pollution...

Korean actors look the best, but I wish no more skinny... nuff of skinny...
I just watched ep 10 of DK and even the ML who is supposedly buff, looks like a stick from the profile... The women are like skeletons and their lower calves are in O shape and knees clunk in mini skirts..
THere are plasticized actors but there are quite few who look "normal" and those who clearly had no plastic, and they look really athletic and nice. Koreans in real life also look healthiest of most nations. THey seem to have good life habits..

I did not hang out with koreans a lot except via my acupuncturist who was a total riot :) and there are zillions of them living in Hawaii. I got to see them in NYC arond the kbbq restaurant too. They all tend to look good and be peace exuding ppl

I got to hang out and live with Indians and Chinese and I have deep respect and make a living from stuf I learned from them. Japanese too.
I started to hang out with Tibetans in their dance circles in the park.. tht is so good. I wish to make more friends from Tibet, Nepal, Himalayas etc

India has no issues with old men with younger women, and there are "yogi" practices of marriage with no physical contact but for producing kids, so.. this movie is possible in India.
The movie is cute and deep in many ways, I love Gandhi jokes ... approving marriage by defending not being vegan LOL and so on. The movie is kinda nice.
But... to me... not being from India... there is eros missing here. Maybe I am not getting enlightened soon and ML and FL are :) but I honestly do not see ML as a suitable lover for FL. He is just ... too old ... Sorry....

Interesting, you thought that Nice to Not Meet You ML was too old? But I dont think so. That one looks much younger and in shape... This one looks old... the bags under his eyes... the lips... His tummy and body in general... he was not in a gym or yoga mat...
Also, he is too old in his habits.. Behaves like a grandpa... He is too much of a smart alek, an old guy who always has to be right, always witty, always proud and tall, and a younger woman who basically kisses up up him. She stands up to him but he is "higher in rank" and even the drama is all about him. She barely shows on screen... .

So I LOVE the movie, it is very inspirational and cute and deep on so many levels, but is not ... relatable to me. I think this is a good kind of relationship or two old people :)

I dont want physical scenes ... I am not asking for that. I am just saying, thre is an element of ... something else. There is sex, eros and love, like explained here https://pathwork.org/wp-content/uploads/lectures/pdf/E044.PDF

But FL is right - a few great years with the right person is better than many years with the wrong person. Harold and Mod had an one-night stand that transformed his life.

So under God, anything and everything is possible :) So congrats to ML and FL on finding their true love.

I am watching Cheem Kumar and it is so ... endearing bc I know all those moves and nuances, sort of bc I lived with Indians so long.... The movie is incredibly funny... and also tragic... and warm... like life..
I think it would be even more interesting that he is younger :)

Interesting how India always responds. I was listening to some Shiva mantras today and then this gift of a nice Indian movie comes along. I will certainly watch it :)
I was listening to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmICy1o1leY

I just checked it out the Kumar movie. It is not my cup of tea. She is more like his student and daughter rather than a lover. I like equals :) And I like hot romances of equally hot and active equals :) To me, scenes from Shaolin Kung Fu when he praises her making of steamed buns, or when he tells her she is beautiful, or when he promises to buy her pretty dresses later... and she, from saving his torn sneakers and reparing them, to getting facial to remove acne, geting into nicer clothes, speaking to him, then helping him as the goalie ... are amazing testimony of "equal love" from Asia. We never even see them touch but it is 100000% obvious they are deeply connected on every level.

Surprisingly, one of the best rom coms ever is Jennifer Anniston's movie Picture Perfect, where she hires a contractual financee Nick. So he they are reviewing his visit to her boss', and Nick asks her HOW MANY SPOONS OF SUGAR SHE TAKES IN HER COFFEE. She asks him why and he says he has to know that if he is going to impersonate her fiancee. At that moment, she falls in love with him. That is such a profound scene. He demonstrated he knows what love and care is.

Japanese made some elegantly fun deep rom coms japanese style, I love Yudo the Way o the Bath 2023 movie with a very powerful and subtle love story. I thinkg Perfect Days stole from that movie

I love japanese movies bc they are so japanese, such a cultural immersion , but they seldom produce good ones :) imo I like korean the best so far. Most elegant, sophisticated, compassionate, healthy, warm, comical, light ways to portray deep subjects.
