I agree with everything except for the memory part. Woo Hak is not Ki Ho, that's for sure.Technically, Ki Ho should…
Oooh! That is very interesting! And Ki Ho's mother was in on it, as well as his mother's new husband (the biological father of Woo Hak). Ki Ho's friends are also aware of the identity switch.
Episode 678 of Running Man was so very funny. This is the type of episode I miss from the team since Lee Kwang Soo left; natural and all laughter.
However, do not miss episode 679 because it is the farewell episode for Jeon So Min. This episode was filmed on Monday, 2023-10-30 and will air on Sunday evening of 2023-11-12.
Honestly they don’t need the company, with these days and age, her voice, visual and crazy backstory will make…
Sure. But, if you want to make sales, you still need an Agency. It is how the entertainment industry works in any country.
There are many great singers showcasing their talents on YouTube, TikTok, and every other platform you can think of. Yet, none of them are selling singles or albums on their own. Those who are, they have an agency they signed up for who handles everything for them.
Until you have an agency, you are considered by society and the industry as “indie”. Fine, you can still sell your own singles and albums these days, say via Spotify. But, that's about it. Spotify pays very, very, little to artists, that's well known.
And if you choose to sell via platforms where one has to pay to listen, you will have to worry about gigs, promotions, marketing, otherwise, how would people know your new single or album exists?
Signing up with an agency is the best way. They will handle everything for you.
Oh, and those people who are very popular in YouTube and elsewhere? More than half of them actually have an agency who take care of things for them, like income and taxes; so they can concentrate on producing content.
#1: His friends in ep. 03 talked if they should tell Ki Ho his father is still looking him.
This means that Ki Ho is fully aware of his new identity, he never forgot anything.
However, Woo Hak forgot a part of his life, that part when he was still a kid.
If his friends, who are protecting his identity, decided to tell Ki Ho, and that Ki Ho is Woo Hak, would it not be weird that his friends have no idea he has amnesia? And if they do know, then why bother discussing if they should tell Ki Ho his father won't give up looking for him?
Q: If Woo Hak is not Ki Ho, then why is it in ep. 04 Woo Hak seems to be remembering memories from Ki Ho?
Manipulated memories.
This is well known today. In the US, police officers were even forced to retrain after this was proven. There are certain situations when people are very vulnerable to mental suggestions to that point that the person starts to think it did happen. And in certain police questioning, false suspects ended up being the true suspects because they admitted it. Some recover from it, some don't.
Memory manipulation was also used in other Korean dramas (and Western dramas for that matter). “Blind” was one such example; the younger brother was incorrectly remembering things because the true person with that memories manipulated his memories when the younger brother had memory loss due to an accident. Sounds familiar?
Hence, I still think Bo Geol is Ki Ho. This is why Bo Geol is so much against using the show to call out Ki Ho because he knows full well that his father is still looking for him.
This is why Bo Geol wants to stop Woo Hak from thinking that he was Ki Ho.
This is why Bo Geol suddenly ran away after he learned from Woo Hak someone sent flowers. Bo Geol immediately understood it was a trap set by his biological father.
Think of it, why would Bo Geol suddenly save Mok Ha just because of flowers and the message? Would he not be happy Mok Ha will finally meet the mysterious Ki Ho?
Why was it that Bo Geol knew to take Mok Ha away and run for their lives?
Is Bo Geol some shaman, and he suddenly felt Mok Ha is in grave danger?
Woo Hak remembering false memories is a misdirection. Like in “Blind”, Bo Geol / Ki Ho probably took advantage of Woo Hak's accident to implant some false memories as a misdirection. Or maybe, Woo Hak heard the story when they were younger, and now that his memories are starting to reappear, the first memories that started to return was the story about Ki Ho and now he is mistaking it to be his own memories.
I no longer care about the story. I just want the songs played released. So far, they only released “Someday”, and the rest of the OST are theme songs.
I hope they release a studio version of Dream Us and Still Waiting for You.
Episode 02: Social Anxiety and the REAL and medical meaning of Gaslighting.
The topic of episode 02 is social anxiety and the ORIGINAL and medical meaning of “gaslighting”.
Again, like in episode 01, they explained both in a way that ordinary people would understand, dispelling misconceptions. The episode story was also done in a way to help the audience empathise with the characters and the people experiencing or have experienced (and now suffering) social anxiety and gaslighting. Not to mention, it makes us question ourselves that maybe, we are in denial and actually going through it as well.
Wow. This is actually very, very good! It shares enough information about mental illnesses, makes you have some basic and updated understanding, and doesn't focus on medicines, but more on how to deal and communicate with people. Yes, people, not “abnormals”.
Because that's how we should treat everyone, as people, as human beings. And I applaud them for that, and this is just episode 01.
Yihyun is surpsingly okay in this! She fitted her character in All of Us Are Dead really well and was genuinely…
Yeah, she's I can say she's better in the comedy and romance acting here than in School 2021. It's like she's enjoying herself and letting out the teenage girl in her in this show.
wait so ML's heart aches whenever he spots a couple is actually due to his powers as an agent of love?😂😂…
From the hints from ep01, it would appear the 1ML and 1FL are from the line of Agents of Love. If you noticed, originally the Agents were men, and usually take the positions of “Chief Priests”.
Then during the Silia period, it changed to women; and this was when the “Agents of Love” was coined.
When the country switched to Confucianism and thus started the Joseon period, the Agents “disappeared”, more likely left the country or went to hiding, because Confucianism wouldn't accept their existence.
Eventually, how they use their abilities was forgotten.
Then one day, an Agent of Love that is a man and a woman appeared at the same time period.
The 1ML is definitely one, since the moment he got married, his spouse died.
The 1FL is guaranteed, because she herself is aware of her ancestry. Eventually, though, her spouse died young as well, but not before he gave her a son; who probably will become an Agent of Love too.
I think Agents of Love wouldn't have problems getting married because they can cancel the curse. You know, double negative = positive.
Having said that, it would appear that indeed the aches he is feeling is because he is denying his identity.
In his mind, he is vehemently opposed to any sweet and all that because his wife suddenly died during marriage. Even though he doesn't want to get married, still, your wife dying during marriage is the worst thing that could happen … even to this very day!
Unfortunately for him, whenever he sees couples together, his ability is trying to come out.
Either: 1. Because the couple he saw are not meant together; or 2. Like the 1FL, he was feeling strong feelings and happiness for them.
Unfortunately for him, he doesn't understand; and he doesn't believe in these things because he's a very loyal Confucian follower and by-the-book legal scholar. LOL, even the king told him he knows nothing of the world.

That's actually perfect.
However, do not miss episode 679 because it is the farewell episode for Jeon So Min. This episode was filmed on Monday, 2023-10-30 and will air on Sunday evening of 2023-11-12.
We will miss you in the show, Miss So Min!

I hope they release Dream On as well; though I'm not sure if it was Park Eun Bin as well (rumour has it she performed it too).

If a time machine will be invented, I want to you send you back during that time period, so you can ask them directly. ^_^
Though, you'll probably won't be able to return after that trip.
