Is someone french?I am curious how good they really speak french in this drama? How's the pronounication?
I'm erring on ‘bad’. Even locally, here in the Philippines, when actors have lines with a language they never studied before, most of the time it was bad. You generally don't have to understand the language, you'll notice how each letter, vowel, syllable, were pronounced too hard or clearly. It was like teaching an elementary student.
Yes, there are actors who do take time to practice their other language lines, but more often than not, it's not needed since the primary target market is your local country. It doesn't have to be perfect.
Like in this case, their primary market is Korea, and since majority only speak Korean and English, probably Japanese, too, getting French correctly doesn't really matter. Sometimes even the translation is bad because they used Bing or Google translate. Hahah.
Me: You DO NOT want her to speak! She wants to tell you everything, and what did you do? YOU SLAPPED HER!Not only…
Yep, it does look like he did.
Although, it seems he intentionally avoided hitting vital nerves? He probably was taken aback when his sister just stared at him. Her eyes were like, "I am so glad you are still alive, I thought you really died“.
Maybe this will be the start of a potential alliance.
So, One Dollar Lawyer and Taxi Driver are in a shared-universe. ^_^
TD ML in One Dollar Lawyer: 1. He was probably undercover as a celebrity when ODL ML saw him.
ODL ML in Taxi Driver S2: 1. Showed up as the One Dollar Lawyer character. 2. He kept repeating, “you are handsome”. He probably remembers seeing TD ML as a celebrity. 3. ODL ML knew what TD ML's line-of-work is, the secret. And ODL ML is very good at digging up secrets. But TD ML doesn't know him, LOL. Which is just about right, as far as the personality and network of ODL ML.
Anyway, just wishful thinking how the timeline fits. One thing is for sure, they are in a shared-universe after this week's cameo of ODL as ODL. ^_^
Ques why was the actor from one dollar lawyer in taxi saw the series and was great. ?Also in these dramas they…
As far as I know, the two actors are friends in real life. Also, when they were filming One Dollar Lawyer and Taxi Driver S2, they happened to be in the same area for the scenes they had a cameo.
The only difference was that in ODL, the Taxi Driver ML appeared as a celebrity. But ODL ML appeared in Taxi Driver as, well, as the One Dollar Lawyer.
We can probably argued that ODL and TD are in the same universe. Maybe, the TD ML appeared as a celebrity in ODL because he was undercover.
Noticed how in TD, the ODL ML kept repeating “you are handsome”? We can take it as a sign that ODL ML remembered seeing him as a celebrity.
If so, then it means ODL and TD are in the same universe.
This was the series where the actor Lee Ji Han was supposed to appear. Lee Ji Han was the reported actor who passed away due to the "Seoul Halloween crowd rush".
Lee Ji Han was replaced by Lee Jung Joon, for the character of the FL's ex-boyfriend.
It was reported that Lee Ji Han he already finished filming his scenes in later September.
Since he was not credited here in MyDramaList, and in other sites, I assume the Kokdu producers decided not to use his scenes, and re-filmed everything when Lee Jung Joon came on board.
Ji Hyeon is still alive. There were so many clues.
1. She's attached to an object. While all the other dead people can roam freely.
For me, it meant that she can not exist as a freely roaming spirit. Normally, her range should be within a few meters away from her body, but for some reason, her phone became her anchor point.
2. Dead people immediately show up as a spirit. If they have an “unfinished business”, they can force themselves to stay. Otherwise, they move on immediately.
Ji Hyeon did not until her mobile phone was turned-on.
3. She doesn't have any memories at all when she first appeared (when her phone was first turned-on).
I was immediately suspicious about this. This was the strongest point for me that she is still alive. All other spirits have memories, mostly complete memories, maybe a few with partial, but still have memories. But Ji Hyeon? Not a single memory.
4. Even though they confessed their love to each other, she stayed and did not move on.
That practically sealed it. Her body is still alive. She can only move on if her body dies.
5. That mysterious underworld scene they never showed again, so far (as of episode 8).
She was the only spirit who can stay there for days. The one and only spirit she saw appeared there, and happened to be someone she knew, can not hear her and also immediately moved on.
When that friend of hers moved on, her tower also collapsed. Yet, when Ji Hyeon returned to Earth, her tower remained.
The tower more likely represents a spirit's connection to the land of the living. So, if they no longer have an unfinished business, the spirit can move on, and the tower collapses.
5. OOC (Out-of-character) or technical reason: She has to be alive!
Otherwise, what's the point of making her and Yeong Min develop feelings for each other?
… yet his role and screen time is what is called in the West as a “regular guest”.
A ‘regular guest’ is someone who acts in a role wherein they are important to the plot, but is not a support nor a main character which does not warrant a screen time as other characters. They may appear in every episode, but their screen time, even dialogues, are pretty much less than support characters. Sometimes they don't even appear in an episode, or only to show their face and/or say a one-liner.
So, they are practically a guest, but regular. Hahaha.

No one believes that No. 50 really had an amnesia. It seems only Pyo Jae Hyun and his sister-in-law knew No. 50 did have an amnesia.
Nasty twists and turns. It's amazing the writer and director can follow everything. ^_^;;
- I suspect he was the one who ordered the assassination.
Second Player: Pyo Jae Hyun
- It is still an unknown what is his agenda. But definitely he is against Kumjo and he is using the Assassin team.
Third Player: Assassin team
- They work with the highest bidder. In the past, Kumjo hired them, so they did.
- In the present, Pyo Jae Hyun hired them.
The interesting thing is that neither Kumjo nor the Asssassins knew Pyo Jae Hyun is moving by himself; and have his own agenda.
From Pyo Jae Hyun's perspective, everything is working for him. Kumjo's power is getting weaker, and thus, his political enemies as well.
At the same time, he is keeping the Assassins close to him so he can continually use them, and then discard them once he becomes President.
For example, there is now no doubt he is fully aware that his wife is No. 50.
He probably is aware that No. 105, the bodyguard, is his wife's brother.
Fourth Player: Mysterious motorbike guy trying to frame up No. 50
Fifth Player: Hae Soo and her version of the truth
Sixth Player: Mr. Coma
Seventh Player: Our dear scientist
(Apologies, too lazy to check the names of the characters.)
There is no point to telling the truth if you already judged the person and assume that your version is the truth.
Not only that, YOU LOVE TO SHOUT OVER HER.
Oh wait. You DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING SHE SAYS!
Hae Soo: Reveal the truth.
Me: You only want to hear YOUR VERSION of the truth. No matter what she will say, if it does not align with your version, you will never believe her!
Hae Soo: You will not? Cruel bitch.
Me: Everyone knows who is the real bitch here.
Hae Soo: I'll kill you with my own hands.
Me: Yeah, right, as if you are a match to No. 50 and her brother.
Me: …
