they needed a reason for him to go gray lol

same, i binged for seven hours last night whoops!

Viki is also airing the show

lol this is very helpful, ty

lol ty, it took me a couple of episodes to stop seeing them as pillowcases

I found this discussion of the poem, seems to fit well into the drama's plot: https://poems.mahacinasthana.com/en/gushi/bu-di-hou-fu-ju/

yah i switched to watching on viki bc of just that issue (also the timing was too fast, many times i had to rewind to catch the whole sentence).

getting ready to drop it for the same reason, what an unlikable character, but also the actor is not giving the guy any interesting interiority. elsewhere in the reviews ppl were calling him chicken/turkey and it fits!! 😆

reminds me of the plot of A Moment But Forever.

sorry for your loss, kdrama world, and may he rest in peace 🕯️

i thought so, and however little screentime they had together, it was very well acted. you could feel like in another universe they would have been a ride-or-die legendary couple that everyone would be jealous of.

srsly! comic actors always excel at drama.

those closing minutes are heartbreaking, but remind me that revolutions take generations.

i just finished watching it, it really is fascinating.

I appreciate this point too, which is explicitly given as DZ's modus opperandi in the narrative: "Whoever adapts to the new market fastest will rise. We need to embrace change actively."

agree re the flow: very hard not to binge.

Question for Mandarin speakers: what is the original word for the secret organization, translated to "Bloody Pagoda" (Netflix subtitles), "Blood Slaughter sect" (Viki subs a couple days ago), and now "Bloody Buddha sect" (just now in Viki subs ep 4)? Xue Fo To is how it sounds, tho sometimes the first sounds like Xie (sorry I am not getting the emphasis right). It's bugging me, stupid little detail but still bugging me!

Interesting, definitely shades of that in Search WWW!

Stroppy is such a good word for her! Those velociraptor screams when she won were electrifying!

I loved this to bits! I started my rewatch immediately after the last episode, especially to find out what the heck is up with Bae Ta Mi's entire lack of family. And was there ever any explanation for why Bae Ta Mi did not want to get married? Was there the implication that she didn't want to have children (and would have to have children if she were married) and I missed it somehow? Pardon the comparison to US media, but the issue reminded me of Cristina and Owen in Grey's Anatomy, which up to now has been my favorite portrayal of women who just don't want to be mothers, and BTM just doesn't seem to have any family that show up in the plot. She has more exes, including Lee Dong Wook, than family members. For a show that was so good at incisively depicting family politics and the status of women in a patriarchal society, it seems like an important absence.
