MORAL OF THE STORY: Do NOT enter a location when you see people wearing PPEs. (If you are a nurse, you should know this already.)
I applaud the screenwriter for not shying away from killing a major character. There are very few screenwriters who are brave enough to do it, often screenwriters choose the "they happily lived ever after" route.
However, as the intro to this post hinted, I do not approve the sudden stupidity of a major character just to get that character terminally ill. Go Mi Ho was a nurse. She is intelligent and full of wisdom. Where did her intelligence AND WISDOM go in the cave sinkhole episode? Then after that episode, Mi Ho became intelligent and full of wisdom again.
In that one episode, she suddenly acted a hero when it was never part of her character, and after that episode, she never acted a hero either. She is intelligent AND WISE. She took calculated risks. She was no hero, before or after. But in that one episode, she acted a dumb hero which led to her getting exposed to deadly radiation.
Sure. There are people who would have done the same as she did but that is a rare thing most especially when the people escaping a disaster are wearing PPEs, and you happen to know as well as corrupt and evil the operator of that cave. All for what? For that character she saved to only die WITHOUT contributing anything to the plot after he was saved.
That episode. Go Mi Ho suddenly throwing her intelligence and wisdom out the window was only meant to get her terminally ill. No more, no less. It was very weak. They could've have used a contaminated bottled water or fish planted by Choi Do Ha, or some other method other than letting her do something out of her character.
People rarely do something like what she did unless they have a very, very, very strong conviction which Go Mi Ho did not possess. She took calculated risks for her husband, that was the entire driving force behind her. Her saving people begins and ends with her working as a nurse, outside of it she didn't do anything.
Again, good job on not being afraid of killing a major character. But very bad job on how to get that character terminally ill.
Their father is the Devil incarnate. No, he is the new Devil.
Worst character (evil) I've ever seen, and I've read no less than 500 novels and who knows how many live-action and animated shows and films.
Their father is the worst even in real-life and there are a lot of people I've met and have known that I can curse for being a bad people to their wives, children, and other people but this fictional character is a whole new level of worst.
Since the show was a 1986 show, and it was also the year when the Philippines (and Korea) toppled the Martial Law government, yeah, there were probably a lot of Asian shows aired back then because of lack of content and the sudden freedom in airing whatever stations want.
The most popular in airwaves back then were mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan Wuxia shows followed by Japanese Anime. Korean not so much, as far as I remember, though Betamax and VHS tapes were commonly passed around with Korean shows.
In the K-pop scene, 1st Generation K-pop were aired here in the Philippines and also passed around in cassette tapes. It's why I listen to a lot of 1st Generation K-pop (1992 to 2002).
I was born in the early 1980s, considered as Gen XY (experienced and grew up in a Gen X and Gen Y world). Elementary in the 80s and early 90s. High School in mid-90s. College in late 90s.
is this romance between kang namsoon and kang heeshik? pls they sound like siblings. 😃 i dont like watching…
In Korea (actually in most Asia-Pacific cultures):
1. Wives are not required to use their husband's surname
2. Children generally carry their father's surname
3. Children can choose to carry their mother's surname (or the parents chooses it for them)
4. Korean names, especially surnames, when transliterated into Latin, looks similar or the same but in reality are not. The registered Hanja is different even though the transliteration into Latin is the same; or even if the Hangul is similar; or even if the pronunciation is the same. What matters is the Hanja.
5. There are also cases wherein the Hanja, the Hangul, and pronunciation are all the same but they are not related at all … as in never ever no matter how far back you trace their lines. - Not because they changed their surname to it, it just so happen their ancestors do have the same.
6. There are also people who changed their surname to one they have no blood/ancestral relation with.
7. Adopted, never blood related, but their ancestors took in the name when they were adopted.
8. Titles can also affect their surname. Or their descendants adopted the title as their surname instead of using their actual surname.
From 9 stars to 10 stars. The best so far of all the life drama / true-to-life stories I've watched - from any region/country.
They portrayed the different dynamics of each family member. How each person thinks. How their decisions and emotions play with the other members of the family.
I guess this is why the Filipinos and Koreans are close, our family-structure and connections are similar, if not exactly the same. Extended families are a thing and the closeness (or lack thereof in some cases) between members and extended families are something many other nations/cultures doesn't have and will never understand.
This drama, the various different stories they portrayed, the relationships, the dynamics, the REALITY of it all, LIFE itself, well done. WELL DONE!
I used to. I personally know people who do as well. Hahaha. :pThat scene was actually subtle … what it showed…
Yep. Even in pants pockets. Easy access. At least that's how it was back then.
Personally, I no longer use dental floss since there are brands which are not healthy at all. Much better to invest in organic toothpastes and make it a habit to regularly brush. Hehe.

That scene was actually subtle … what it showed was Gen X and Gen XY were too conscious about the health of their teeth and gums, as compared to Gen Z who no longer carried floss. Hahaha.
But that still didn't answer the question why Miho is "dirty". It was not her fault she got "infected" and having a disease (in this case a biological weapon) is not "dirty".

From 10 stars, it's down to 8 stars.
Who holds it that way? LOLs.
No doubt it was pre-cut, otherwise, I doubt he would've opened it cleanly.

Here's my short reaction, nothing much, just a reminder or share.

Glad to have helped in bridging cultures. ^_^

When there are no sequels, people complain. When there are sequels, they're accused of "milking the franchise".
