Friends try to understand that this drama is about deep wounds – one that the male lead caused, and his wound…
I said that many times: I expect a scene (flashback) where we understand why he couldn't speak about grandmas to EunHo. If you look at the drama closer, it's quite good about logic. For example, this simple scene in episode 10 when he enters Hyeri home. I was like... "wait? isn't it inconsistent?", and few scenes later, we find out he knows the password of her home. And it's not the only one logical followup I could find in the drama. So, I think we'll know more about the whole "grandma" misunderstanding.
Two visual mysteries charged with symbolism in the drama.
The painting represents something concrete but also psychological. I think it's the field in the middle of the forest. The yellow represents Hyeri, occupying most of the space. And in the centre: this little house, with a red roof. On a psychological level: EunHo's central psyche, small and at the centre of the painting, in danger of being submerged by Hyeri's yellow. There's even a red roof. Supposed to be Hyeri? But protecting Eun-Ho? The house that Eun-Ho enters is not exactly in the centre of the field. However, in one shot (sorry, I forgot to note the timecode), the director shows the reddish-brown colour of the roof from the inside. This painting really does have a psychological component, which is difficult to decipher for someone like me who is not a psychologist, but who nevertheless has a few notions. It's very much about identity, ego and the mind within the mind. I hope that other people will contribute their thoughts on this subject.
The night sun. Very intriguing. It's spectacular in the night scenes in the Giyidong field. It's something impossible, a sun shining in the night, therefore divine. This light comes in many other, more discreet scenes in the drama. In doing so, I forgot to note it. But for example, in the break-up scene: at the beginning, at the top of the stairs, this light is present. It's also present when Eun-Ho returns home after a month in the forest. As if it were a signal: day or night, never forget who you are. I take it as a sense of observation, of awareness, and simply, as the eye of God, in the sense of the psychological God (refer to CG Jung). This observing God can be terrible when Eun-Ho is alone. In the episode where she goes into the forest of Giyidong, the scene ends with her falling, and then her eyes are dead. It's as if she's dead, in danger of being swallowed up by Hyeri. Then the panic attack on the TV set and the kiss in the lift, as a survival reflex. The light of consciousness can also be more welcoming. In episode 10, after the kiss, the light is softer, full of hope and energy, between ML's face and FL.
rating drops - people are going crazy they just can't digest the fact that FL choosing ML over SML . bro he is…
It's quite funny to live that. Seeing so many people getting mad. The drama triggers lot of emotion. I think, for me, it's quite good ones. But GOSH! it goes deep into people anyway.
It's hard to understand people here, because they often say: "She should goes alone and heal, instead of giving attention to love stories". But she did!!! During one month, and as a result, comes back stronger, able to discern she can't be Hyeri. Then what do you want more? That she ends her life in a monastery?
It's quite obvious being alone for nothing won't help, and it's time she succeed in her love-life with someone taking care of her (as said the therapeut), and time for the ML too. They love each other and needs each other. What's wrong with that? Guys, you think you need to be Bouddha before entering a love life? Wait to die first then, it's more quick.
Haven't seen your comments on mdl for a few day...good to see you again
I don't remember you and I'm sorry about that. Probably we already talked together in a friendly way. I bet on that, I'm sure! Everytime I read kind comments like your, I think I should be less harsh on kdramas I don't like, because sometime I can also be jerk and piss-off people. 😂
Life makes I don't have enough time to watch as much dramas I would like, and so comment about them. And when I have free time, busy with writing.
MDL real rule: Never come in comments zone when episodes are airing and you didn't watch yet.
Ah thank you, but it can't be true. I don't have time to watch lot of dramas on air. Only this one and Judge from hell. That I'm late about last episodes. 😉
Love this drama so much. Incredibly well-written as it looks at unhealthy relationships, and what people do in…
There is a bit of misunderstanding about the drama genre. Maybe part of the audience has the wrong expectation? Really not fictive romance, but drama with gray and complex psychology.
Of course some writers can do more than romcom with mostly better characters. I think about Park Hye Ryun, doing healing and positive characters. A genre I like too.
But here we are in more troubled zone. I could think about story like "Love in Sadness" where both FL and ML are particularely twisted. I like that a lot too.
As I find writing great at many points, I'm still disappointed by little things, some expo or name calling in few scenes, a bit confusing ones, or too slow pace sometimes.
Great job about your blog, sounds like something requiring hard work.
I often wonder if people dislike in others what they dislike about them.
Ah yeah, I didn't see it coming. In same bad conditions, characters can do better. But they don't have an easy way for that. Lot of inner fight and trouble.

Yah? Did you ever see such agility on a comment thread? 😮💨

- The painting.
- The night-sun.
I have some feeling about that, but can't really give an absolute meaning.

There isn't lot of analys.
Recently I find the drama quite clear.
But of course some symbolic visuals are still an enigma.
I think answers are in this and it's nuanced, rather than in a echo chamber.

As you gave 10 on Death's Games, I propose you to read my last screenplay.
It's a short, about 10 minutes duration:

Of course, go for the visual screenplay! (korean format)
I don't have time to watch lot of dramas on air.

Shouldn't be that long. Just we should wait end of the drama, we don't know what will be his destiny yet.
