IM YourOnlyOne

Same. I enjoyed their present courtship drama and the comedy. The side plot about the spell book and the past were all unnecessary.

We can even remove those mystical stuff and we'll have a very good romcom. I don't understand why they have to insert those plots that doesn't make any sense.

I think he placed it there after using it or something. He was probably the one who made sure they'll meet again after casting some spell.

All the while, he was also the one who hid the book of curses underneath it, in a secret compartment.

That's my guess.

thank you so much!

Anyone have a relationship chart or something?

If I recall correctly, somewhere up in their family tree, there was a family with twins or two daughters, and that's the split. I think it was explained int he first season.

1. Do Bong Soon came from the "other branch" of the family? Since Kang Nam Soon appears to be the strongest of them all?

2. They have other powers, but seems to appear rarely on one person, in this case, Kang Nam Soon = strength + speed + jump. And it also appears that Nam Soon can enhance her powers if the other women are near.

Did Bong Soon also have speed? I can't remember.

Episode 1 revelation compared to Strong Woman.

Anyone know which episode Park Bo Young will make her guest appearance?

Sure, but the point I was making is that they made her look 20 years old. ;)

I love his reply there, “I'm sad because I can play music, and they can't” instead of saying, “I'm sad because they can't hear (my) music”.

Huge difference in meaning, and speaks volume to the mindset of the character.

Wow. What a very touching first episode.

Han Ji Min here is totally different from her previous works. I can't even recognize her, not even in their BTS bloopers. They made her look 20 years younger and she acted like one.

I can't imagine it was her in "Our Blues" and "Hyde, Jekyll, Me", to mention two.

She's great, and her stylist is the best as well.

Basically, it's Rurouni Kenshin the Joseon version.

I wonder who will win, Himura Kenshin or Yi Nan?

My pleasure. ^_^

While, yes, there are propaganda in the films, which quite frankly the West did first and is still doing to this day, beyond the propaganda the film raised good questions.

I think what we should look for is, how can we achieve a good balance between authoritarian communism and electoral democracy.

Don't ever rely on the countdown timer here on MDL. LOL. It is manually edited by volunteers, not by official sources.

LOL. You are speculating too much. Never forget, sports is a big thing in Korea, far more important than fiction. And TV/Cable networks fight to get the rights to broadcast live sports events because it gives them more revenue than fiction.

So, I'm not so sure where you are getting your speculation from when the country of origin are more excited about sports more than dramas.

Let's put it this way.

TV/Cable networks with dramas at the same slot as the sports, especially if Korea have matches, doesn't get much viewership because majority of the population are glued watching sports. So much so that those networks who failed to get the rights to broadcast live will try to create "live news" just to get some pie of viewership.

This isn't the West where you have ten channels dedicated for sports like ESPN and other sports channels. Dedicated sports channels are not a thing here in Asia-Pacific. This is why TV/Cable networks fight to get the exclusive rights to broadcast live the events where their own team have matches because it's guaranteed you'll get no less than 80% of viewership nationally.

It's business. And you'll rake in far more money from it.

LOL. Even here in the Philippines, that is the case, and we only care about boxing and basketball. How much more Korea where everyone is very supportive of their delegation regardless of sports?

It's simple. Sports game gives them more revenue.

Also, sports is more important in Korea than fiction.

If the show did not air locally, then the OTT services cannot release it.

It has nothing to do if they are lazy. And it doesn't matter if the other shows aired. If the time slot for the show was reassigned for other shows, then the airing is delayed and no legal / official streaming services can release that episode.

This show is an SBS show, meaning, if it did not air on SBS's channel, then no streaming services can release the episode. They will pay millions of US dollars if they violate their licensing agreement.
