Auditions

The drummers had their own thugs to beat up the other one. These two knuckleheads. The uncle gives him a shot to vent his rage if things aren’t settled between them and he decides they are beat up enough.😂 Uncle is pressing an alliance with Huang’s wife to get their kids pushed through auditions. He even buys a hog to seal the deal and get meat for the entire troupe. Against all odds they both got their misfit kids included. The cook’s son sharing the sugar candy was a sweet scene until security’s thug son showed up. This time Laidi scored points for thwacking him upside the head with a 2x4. As little as she was this was a fair hit. I’m tired of him picking on the little kids. That shiner of hers will make her even more popular for holding her own against him. Huang’s wife congratulated her and commented how he beat on her kid too so nobody is upset except thug’s mom. The examiners had interesting reasons for keeping these two and it always finished with Huang’s greenest grass comment.😂🤣 The lead is pushing for them to seem a small family and uncle doesn’t go for it. She is married and there needs to be some propriety shown for the child’s sake if not her own. Huang was more accepting of things until he heard the drummer getting top accolades from the troupe. They were not best buddies to start with and this has put Huang in an especially vengeful mood. I did have a laugh out loud moment when he thought he was going to return the hog head his wife had been cooking all day. She didn’t say anything but slammed a cleaver into a butcher block cutting board and he quietly returned it to cooking spot.😂🫣The one significant thing of Laidi’s audition was her venting all her anger and angst about leaving home. She screamed that uncle and sheep song at the top of her lungs and let it all out.😂😂This is not the destiny she wanted, but this was her accepting her fate and doing things her way.

Rivalry and impromptu part

The two leads continue to bicker and Laidi’s uncle promises to beat the drum hard to make the understudy mess up. He discovered the plank he used for a bed was needed in stage backdrop and Laidi is dressed as a scarecrow to fill in the space. Kudos to her for holding her arms up for the entire performance. Things backfire for the prior lead as the strong drum beat made the understudy perform confidently and the audience loved it. The directer took credit for the addition of scarecrow. The understudy was grateful for his assistance and shows she will vote for Laidi in tryouts. The leader uses double entendre for the drum beats. Ya had to laugh when she had Laidi call out her uncle by name and call him a jerk for singing practice. The police are investigating the anonymous letter and uncle turns it into a drum session/class. I loved how he demonstrated his style with the fly. That was a nice bit of humor. The wife is faking the degree of her injury and the uncle catches them arguing. He can’t get his niece to sing yet but she is known as the snake thrower and scarecrow. I feel bad for the cook’s son that has a small bit of talent he should be allowed to demonstrate. His father refuses to let him try and gives him more chores. Laidi wanted to change places because she wants to go home. She loves her sheep and misses them. The lead complaining of her uncle at night time and back to the drum entendres. She knows the young girl doesn’t understand but still needs to vent. The uncle had charmed both leads and they fought over him. What we learn is that she married from spite and the other girl was severely injured from a fall so the uncle got neither girl. The uncle is trying all kinds of antics to get the votes Laidi needs to stay. At the end of the episode he is called out from the movie and a bag is put over his head. This drama continues to let you see the life behind the magic of performing. The audience gets to see the glamour and the stage crew and seamstresses handle the work part that sets them up to be entertaining. Their unique lifestyle is the closed village that feeds, clothes, trains and doctors their own to perform for the politicians and wealthy. It is both magical and unforgiving. Laidi still only sees it as keeping her from her sheep and home.

in the previous ep Ryo more or less confessed…

in the previous ep Ryo more or less confessed to Zen & in this ep, his behavior with Zen just backed-up him confession. sadly Zen isn't in a similar place, he isn't sure of his feelings or rather he isn't ready to admit to them. that's why he almost did the unthinkable, by almost saying to Kiritani that they start dating. that would've been such a bad move - heck a shitty move, as he would be lying to an innocent bystander that doesn't need to be involved in the 1st place - not when he knows full well he is just using her like a "cross" to keep Ryo away. no one deserves to get used like that. ***********************************************& yeah she realized she jumped the gun when she said yes - especially when he didn't continue his "confession" but she dogged a bullet & she would've hurt much much worse if they did start dating. ************************************************************the ending of the ep was kinda predictable as Ryo already confessed & even if he hasn't come out & said it he wants more then a friendship with Zen, he doesn't want to compete... but Zen isn't ready - so stopping the "game" & putting some distance between them might give Zen the perspective he needs to realize what he wants, if he wants... gonna get interesting considering the preview, just hope they "hop into bed" after communicating & resolving the hang-ups Zen still has...

wont say i wasn't hooked by the end, but…

wont say i wasn't hooked by the end, but i was kinda annoyed that we get a retelling of the Tiger, Nao story & the fact that we didn't see hide nor hair of North, didn't make me any happier. also form where did Dan pop up?!? & maybe i am remembering wrong, but i think Nao's personality was Dan in the previous season. still given the back ground Tiger's got, Nao needs to be a fighter to deal with "that" mess. *****************************************************************************************************also given Tiger's nightly activities, i know he's gonna get Nao (& maybe even his family) in trouble - u can't start gang wars like some moronic vigilante & expect to go about ur life like normal. not when ur face is uncovered & u even give ur name - not when ur gonna move into a house in the same arear, that gang hangs out in - that they have basically "marked" as theirs. but guess that's one thing he isn't doing - thinking. his every action is a reaction with little to no thought - the big question, who is gonna get seriously hurt. can't wait for the next ep -

Minhyukkk u idiot

THANKFULLY the person who was claimed of being the attacker finally denied the accusations and just admitted he stalked the third victim but never kidnpped her, MEANING IT WAS THE ATTACKER THAT BOTH GUKDOO AND BONGSOON THOUGHT IT WAS, SO GUKDOO GOES TO THE ATTACKER AND GUKDOO BEATS HIM UP AS THE ATTACKER (he falsely acted as witness for the first victim so that the police wouldn’t clock it was him and to put the police on the wrong track) WASN’T SAYING WHERE THE KIDNAPPED WOMEN WERE, AND AFTERWARDS DURING THE FIGHT GUKDOO FINDS THE SHOES THE CRIMINAL USED WHEN HE KIDNAPPED THE WOMEN, BUT THE ATTACKER SNATCHES IT OFF FROM GUKDOO AND GUKDOO COULDNT DO ANYTHING SINCE HIS (POLICE) TEAM WASN’T HANDLING THE CASE ANYMORE SINCE THE HIGHERUPS MADE THEM TRANSFER THE CASE TO THE SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT, THEREFORE HE COULDNT ISSUE A WARRANT, WHCIH LEAD TO GUKDOO BEATING UP THE ATTACKER, AND ONCE HE GOT TO THE POLICE STATION HE ADMITTED THAT HE’LL RESIGN AS PUNISHMENT BUT THEN HIS TEAM LEADER , CHIL GU, PERSUADES GUKDOO TO COME BACK SINCE WHAT GUKDOO DID WAS MORALLY RIGHT. AND ONCE ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING, MINHYEOK GAVE BONGSOON HER JOB IN DEVELOPMENT SINCE DURING THE START MINHYEOK PROMISED HER THE JOB IF HE WORKED FOR HER AS HIS BODYGUARD, YET HE NEVER “ACTUALLY” GAVE HER AJOB AND PUT HER IN A ONE-MAN TEAM AND MADE HER HANDLE THE ANNOYING SUPERVISOR, WHO HAD THE EXACT SAME FACE AS THE THUG SHE BEAT UP, GWANGBOK, AND THE SUPERVISOR WAS MOCKING HER UNTIL MAKES HIM GET TRAPPED BY PUSHING A TABLE INTO HIM. Now minhyeok is falling more and more for bongsoon as she helps him recover and she admits she might be falling for minhyeok and is losing interest in gukdoo, AND THEN SUDDENLY IMINHYEOK COULDN’T SLEEP AND POPS UP AT BONGSOON’S HOUSE AND HE TELLS HER THAT HE LIKES HER AND THAT SHE SHOULD FORGET ABOUT HER ONE SIDED LOVE WITH GUKDOO. AND HELP BONGSOON’ BEEN HAVING DREAMS AS HER BEING JULIET AND ROMEO BEING MINHYEOK AND IM DYINGGG. AND OMG THE ATTCKER’S NEXT PLANNED VICITM IS HEEJI (GUKDOO’S EX) AND NOW IM LOWKEY WORRIED.
