1. It was a good idea, they sort-of “rebooted” the series in Season 02. The new couple is better suited for the series, and now they're back in Season 03.
2. It's great to see they're continuing from Season 02, instead of starting a new story. Although 3 years have passed (same as in real-life = premiere year of the shows.)
3. I like how they retained most of the characters/actors. Again, continuity.
4. Back in Season 02, I was hoping they'll pick Lee Kyung Young in Season 03. YEAH THEY DID!
5. Suspicion is correct! Lee Kyung Young's character is Cha Eun Jae's father. Hahaha. This was a very good decision, we need this kind of complex relationship, and it will add a lot of amazing conflicts.
And we all know, when Lee Kyung Young is in a show, 99% he's the antagonist, and it's going to be brutal. LOL!!!!
So, imagine her daughter is Dr. Cha Eun Jae, and he is also a rival of Master Kim. SUWEEEEETTT
6. Great to see the latest in ER and medical tech. About time, especially in Korea, a country which excels in medical technologies.
7. Great premiere episode 01, they did not jam every character immediately. It was a slow re-introduction. Also, I like how they immediately revealed the antagonist. That means, we're going to enjoy a hospital war very early.
Since it's this early, I can't imagine what twists and turns they are going to introduce. After all, it shouldn't be a rehash of any conflicts they used in Season 1 and 2, otherwise it would be boring.
Great premiere, I love it. I can't wait for tonight's episode 02!
Yoo In Na deserves to win a Best Actress Award for this show, especially episode 5, when she visited her ex-boyfriend. All the scenes in that part were so perfect. She captured and portrayed every single emotion, facial reaction, body reactions, a person desperate to get back with their loved one and being rejected, yet still hopeful, will do anything… actually feels and do.
It was as if Yoo In Na pulled from her own real life experience. Did she? Because, seriously, it was crazy she perfectly captured and portrayed everything.
I can feel her. It's so painful. It's so sad. Forget about me having experienced it myself, the desperation, and everything, her acting was so powerful and heartfelt, you don't need to have experienced it yourself.
Not entirely sure what fansubbers you are talking about lol. There aren't any. This is kdrama not jdrama.
My Sassy Girl, the original, it became popular outside of Korea because of a fansub.
The rest is history.
Oh. This show itself episodes 3 and 4 are no doubt fansubs. The subbers included their group name. So, they disproved your claim that there are no K-drama fansubs.
Any episode with subs that used a TV/Cable rip as a video source, when the original network never provided a sub to a different language, is guaranteed a fansub. It's as simple as that.
There are exemptions. I've seen some fansubbers used Viu and Netflix video sources but the subtitles were made a fansubber, and the fansub is better than the original. Sometimes its worst, like a certain “legal” OTT service that uses fansubs if they can't release their official sub faster than the illegal streaming services.
If you haven't seen these type of episodes, then I guess you're only watching from official sources. Good for you.
Fan subbers don't know korean and if they do they want to get paid for it
I guess you are too young.
I've been watching fansubs since the mid 90s, the era of Betamax and VHS. Guess what? There were far worse fansubs than the machine translations you are calling as “not fansubs”.
A fansub is an unauthorised translation and subtitling of a work. That's all there is to it.
It is no different from a fanfiction. A fanfiction is an unauthorised use of a Copyrighted work to create a new story.
It's the same with fandubbing. And even scanlations.
If you don't have permission to do a translation of a Copyrighted work, then it is considered a “fan work”, be it a dub, a fiction, a subtitle, or a simple translation.
You think kids aren't over acting ??? Do really kids kiss each other on the mouth like that in kindergarten ?
It was not a french kiss. There are times when kids do that because of the stuff they see adults are watching, and the adults are irresponsible for not explaining they should not do that. Like in this case, they were tolerating their daughter with her crush craziness over the boy.
Also, as you can see, they were all shocked when she did that. They CLEARLY are against it. Just like in real life when adults see kids kiss on lips, even a small touch, they immediately break up the kids and tell them it is bad.
It's nothing new. I've seen kids do that, and I have yet to see an adult who tolerated a kiss on the lips, even if it was just a 1 second touch. The adults in this show reacted similarly, although because they were opting for comedy, they avoiding telling their daughter that it was bad.
Don't get me wrong, I am not defending the show. I'm just trying to give a different take about it, having seen such incidents myself.
If the adults in this show even applauded and encouraged her about it, then I would join the anti sentiment. For now, it is still within acceptable levels because such actually happens in real life, and as I've said, I haven't seen an adult who did not take action immediately.
We're only in the 4th episode. If that happens again, and the reaction of the adults changed, then obviously we have a problem.
Theories, latest update as of Episode 4 and preview of Episode 5 ---> https://mydramalist.com/discussions/family/94443-making-sense-of-the-show?pid=2555341&page=1#p2555341WARNING:…
I. Okay, so, there is an organisation that was disbanded due to the conflict between the latter generation and the original members.
Sometime later, the organisation was reformed with a new leader. However, the organisation was only as a front this time to confuse everyone, there real organisation is behind the faked revived organisation.
This new leader is hunting the original members one-by-one, and Wolf was their cleaner.
II. Kang Yu Ra (Jang Na Ra), have a removed tattoo of the organisation's emblem on her neck. Remember the tattoo on the noodle delivery guy Directo Oh saw when she visited their home? That same tattoo.
It is now clear that the delivery guy was there to eliminate Kang Yu Ra because she defected. However, the delivery guy was not able to made a move because everyone's at the door, there's a visitor (which the delivery guy seemed to have recognised), and well, there is a kid, a pregnant woman, and an elderly. Hitmen only eliminates their target to keep the government from investigating deeply, and they do consider it bad luck to have collateral damage.
Anyway, that is assuming that they still respect to hit one target.
Why?
Because Wolf doesn't care if there are collateral damages. So maybe, the delivery guy was there to assess the situation only, or he pulled out because he recognised Director Oh.
Back to Yu Ra. The removed tattoo on her neck was that same tattoo on the delivery guy Director Oh noticed (it was on his hand). An organisation that was supposed to be no longer in operation because it was disbanded.
III. Unknowns
Unknown #1: Director Oh is keeping calling cards of ‘special people’. I am suspecting these are hitmen. Hitmen she herself have no idea who, just send an email or SMS, and the job will be done.
She hesitated at first, but near the end of the episode, she probably called one of them to make sure Wolf is killed, he is too dangerous.
And, I am suspecting, one of those cards was Yu Ra's, that was why she's the one who did a hit on Wolf.
IF SO, then this makes it very interesting. She has all the reason to eliminate Wolf because he just visited them. He is an absolute danger to her whole family.
Unknown #2: The new leader of the organisation, that no one knows about, is searching for Yu Ra.
But, it gets interesting, why her?
Quite possibly because she was integral to the dissolution of the original organisation, as well as, she was their top hitman. If you are going to establish a new organisation, you of course want the best agent with you. And if they decline, you definitely want to keep them under your thumb, or eliminate them altogether.
And Yu Ra, and her family, is in grave danger.
Who is this new leader, and what exactly is Yu Ra's role in the original organisation? Why is this new leader looking for her? Maybe he wants to take revenge?
IV. Other possibiity
Yu Ra was probably a mole, and climbed her way up in the original organisation.
She was the one who planted division in the organisation. When it broke up, they probably learned later her true identity.
This would explain two things: a. Why her tattoo was erased. She was only a mole after all. b. Why the new leader of the revived organisation is looking for her.
One thing is clear, Yu Ra miscalculated, she thought the organisation is dead. Now her entire family is in grave danger.
Not entirely sure what fansubbers you are talking about lol. There aren't any. This is kdrama not jdrama.
I think you are confused as to what a fansub is.
A fansub is a subtitle that is unofficial, unsanctioned. If you've been watching a lot of K-drama even for the past year or two, you should have encountered fansubbed titles. Even C-drama, P-drama, French, Russian, there fansubbers.
Of course, if you are only watching from official OTT services, you wouldn't find one. Actually, there is one legal OTT service who sometimes use fansubs for some of their titles. They resort to it whenever their official subbers can no longer take another project.
You're probably thinking that fansubs are those with fancy intros and Japanese names. Not at all. That's just the Japanese fansubber style.
Fansubbing is actually a Copyright infringement, so there are those who doesn't display their name publicly (and if they're good with translations and timing, it's hard to spot). There are also fansubbers who just doesn't care about taking credits, so just because you haven't seen fansubber names, does it mean ther are no fansubbers.

WARNING: SPOILER!!!!
So…
(no idea)
* They've been dating for 2 years.
* Her husband is 6 years her junior.
* He is non-celebrity.
* They met on the set of her drama, VIP.
If I remember correctly, Na Ra said he's a videographer.

They come in whenever there is no OTT offering an official English sub. They've been around since the 2000s. ;P
