Yep, he's too stiff, trying to make an "accidental" eye contact. And when Young Min is blabbing (Lols), Seung Tak is listening intently while being careful not to turn his head.
Yeah! I loved how they immediately revealed Seung Tak can see Young Min. He was very suspicious since the start, he was too stiff, as if he's trying to avoid to look into someone else's eyes. He also listen intently when Young Min is speaking to him.
Still, there is something with Seung Tak. It's as if he's trying to discover the corruption in the hospital and expose them all. I'm suspecting his mother and him are in it together.
Why do we have to wait a week for the next episode.
Then there is that "dark ghost" that looked like Dr. An, and Tess seems to know something about it when he said "I thought he took care of him" (paraphrased).
Of course, there is still the mystery ghost which possessed Young Min.
If the story is not worth it for you, then don't watch.You should not watch any fiction just because of the actors/actresses…
He's a support actor in this show, so don't expect much screentime. MDL's "main actor" label only refers to the role of their character, since his character is the "main" antagonist, MDL classified him as "main role". But beyond that, he's actually only a Support character. You'll see more of Seung Yeon because she's the younger sister, than Joon, even though both of them are technically Support characters.
Is it worth watching??I need motivation to carry on ep 1
If you like political drama, especially in a large family, then it will appeal to you. Otherwise, no, feel free to move on.
This drama is deep and there are a lot of political alliances and betrayals, it will definitely confused anyone not used to this.
If this is the first time you're going to watch this type of deep political and family drama, but you have real-life experience in such (maybe your own family is full of politics and/or you once worked for an organization with such high politics) then you'll be able to follow and probably enjoy it too.
I have watched first 4 episodes and I am not drawn in. Is it worth it to stick around for Lee Joon?
If the story is not worth it for you, then don't watch.
You should not watch any fiction just because of the actors/actresses because no matter how good they may be, if the story doesn't appeal to you, watching it will only be a chore.
The celebrities do this primarily for "work", and secondary as "something they love to do". They give their best to entertain whoever watches the show. If the show is a chore for you, then that's an injustice for the hard work they've given it.
Showbiz or show business is called the "entertainment industry" for a reason. ^_^
Why is the rating so low? When it's just airing?? :(
There are countless of fake accounts here in MDL, and other sites with uncontrolled rating system. When they do not like a particular show, for whatever reason (maybe the actors), they use all their accounts to rate it badly.
Get used to it. ^_^ It has been happening for years now and they're getting bolder too. Some of them you'll notice in the comments too.
Korea believes in shamans and rituals and all that. You probably also believe in something that they believe to…
Hehe. Yeah, they're that kind of culture. Not sure today, maybe they outgrew that shamanistic beliefs, but back then and even earlier than that … it's way beyond being superstitious, it was a religion … even though Confucianism is against it, shamanistic beliefs were in their blood.
Young Ro is another wealthy and spoiled bourgeois who has a misplaced hero complex. She not surprisingly wants…
Young Ro isn't spoiled and doesn't have a hero complex, she's naive, just as most college students 20 and under usually are.
Naive people were usually shielded from the harsh reality of the world. It's totally different from people who were spoiled and/or have a hero complex.
Young Ro is naive. To keep her father's and stepmom's ambitions, they shielded her from the outside world. The mere fact that they sent her to one of Korea's most exclusive and most prestigious women's school at that time, is a sign that her parents want her to grow and be educated properly while being shielded from the harsh reality of the world. It not only benefits Young Ro herself, but it also benefits them--the parents.
If Young Ro's spoiled, she wouldn't keep her identity secret. She will immediately broadcast to the whole dorm how she's the daughter of ANSP Director and how they should all kneel before her or be branded a communist. If Young Ro's spoiled, Book Ok wouldn't stand a chance against her. If Young Ro's spoiled, she would made sure that even Ms. Pi would side with her.
A spoiled child is someone who thinks they have all the privileges in the world because they're rich and their family is politically powerful. Young Ro is every bit the opposite of a spoiled child. Even when she revealed her identity to Soo Ho, she whispered and made sure no one else heard her. A spoiled brat wouldn't do that because it is their pride. A child who was raised properly and made to understand not their family's success is not a privilege the child earns because of their name, are humble and quiet about it.
Young Ro is naive. Until the hostage started, her world was blissful, perfect, a beautiful college life where hormones abound. Crushes here. Handsome guys there. Fantasies and fairytales.
When the hostage and shooting started, her world collapsed. Suddenly, the real world was being forced down her throat. And it took her days to accept that reality.
Just like any naive person, she blamed herself thinking it was all her fault. Just like any naive person, she wanted to fix things by sacrificing herself. Just like any naive person, she made decisions without thinking about it thoroughly.
A person with a hero complex is a person who would never act because they are blaming themselves over something and wants to fix things because it was all their fault. A person with a hero complex thinks that they are the only one who can solve it because they are better than everybody else and they want to be known for it, to be credited for it, to gain recognition.
Young Ro never showed any sign of someone with a hero complex. If anything, it was Boon Ok who had the hero complex. She's always looking for recognition. For example, when names were being called on who will be released, Boon Ok took it upon herself to stand up and say spoke out about "how unfair" the selection process was, and how her suspicions are correct--favouritism.
That's a clear sign of someone with a hero complex. They don't care about anything other than to be recognized that they are correct in their assumptions, and they saved everyone. In this case, she tried to prove there was favouritism.
Unfortunately for Boon Ok, her attempt to be the hero backfired. Apparently, her name was on the list. Because of her desire to be the hero, to be recognized for it, she made everything worse for everyone. Instead of anyone getting released, no one did until after a few days. And well … she also lost her chance permanently.
I'm halfway through ep.8 but something was bothering me so much I had to pause and post here.How is the FL so…
Remember, she's the other half of a soul. She's the other half that doesn't remember her past lives. She did not even believe about reincarnation until she saw the bones of Kim Hwa Yeon.
All she knew was a bulgasal was hunting them "in the present". She didn't even believed it as much as she does presently.
Secondly, there are some people who choose to be "bubbly and happy" when faced with insurmountable odds. Instead of sulking in sorrow and fear, they choose to be "bubbly and happy" just to get on with their lives … especially if they need to care for someone, like in her case, her younger sister who doesn't believe a single thing.
Sang Woon's twin, Sang Yeon, who remembers all their past lives, perfectly fits your "Sarah Connor" comparison.

That is still a big mystery.

The answer to your second question is in episodes 1 and 2. ^_^

Oh, btw, re: fashion, I couldn't agree more, she was like a table cloth. LOLs.
