I loved EP 8 way better than EP 7 because it felt more like another usual day in gongjin we've been seeing for the past six episodes.
Ji PD's introduction was a bit over here and there yesterday, I didn't hate it but I didn't like it too. I was kinda annoyed whenever Ji PD is on frame with Hyejin and Dushik because our main leads barely had screentime together yesterday so I kinda fed up with the introductory of these city peeps. But I freaking enjoyed Ji PD and Dushik's scenes alone, these two men have a lot of similarities in terms of hobbies and interests. They're like funny men, nice duo.
Tonight's episode is another normal day in gongjin (glad the atmosphere I like is back), but now with Ji PD slowly stealing gongjin people's hearts and Hong Banjang's position as Mr. Handy. Unlike yesterday, when Dushik expressed his bitterness (about people get help from Ji PD and stuff) today I found it so funny. Maybe because we got a happy epilogue because last night's epilogue was way too painful that it was the only thing that stuck with me after finishing the episode.
Anyway Hong Dushik's such a child, he's taking it as if it's a competition who's more useful and reliable man in gongjin between him and Ji PD LMAO. Of course, part of it because he knew Ji PD likes Hyejin.
I loved and enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully this ep gets double digits ratings ^^
what makes this drama good?story or just a romantic scene?
For me, it's the acting, story and the atmosphere.
Honestly there's nothing spectacular about this drama like the uniqueness that tells it's different never been produced before you know what I mean but Homcha gives you ah-after-a-long-busy-week-finally-i-have-a-good-time type of feeling. Very light if you don't think much into fans' theories, but I personally see this mostly in Hong Dushik's POV so I'm aware that he's a heavy and complex character (not too much).
But set aside this heavy POV (because I'm too immersed), Homcha is a very light-hearted drama with lots of life wisdom that I'm sure every viewer at least relate to one or two stories in real life. It hits close to home from different perspectives (from a child, parents, a city girl, a villager, and many more POVs). The writing is so raw, it's like you live in Gongjin and supported by natural acting by the actors. It's so lovely and lively, most of the times.
if dushik has a dead wife and child will he get attracted to hyejin so easily? he don't even try to distance himself…
I don't think dushik had a wife and a kid too because if he had been in a marriage before, he won't open up so easily. He won't fall so easily because he will be constantly reminded to his late wife and his child. It's harder to start a new relationship especially when it was out of his limit to be parted with his loved ones.
If it turns out he was married before, I'll be shocked like for real.
I hope they bring the "social position " topic again because the talk about it sill feels incomplete to me.
I think they'll address the "social position" topic more in the upcoming episodes when the love triangle happens.
Some things are easy to say but hard to do and so does Dushik's words when he told Hyejin that she shouldn't feel sorry for having her own opinion as if he didn't get offended by her words.
I predict that Dushik will feel small when he sees the closeness bond between Hyejin and her sunbae as he's starting to fall for Hyejin now. Hyejin and her sunbae are the same type of people, unlike Hyejin and Dushik who are totally coming from different worlds. Seeing their interaction, Dushik will feel that he doesn't belong in Hyejin's world, afterall.
Dushik will distance himself from Hyejin and she will feel uneasy because they were just made up at the festival. Perhaps Dushik and Hyejin will have the "social position" talk once more when Hyejin confronts Dushik about why he avoids her. Hyejin will most likely realize that what she said about social position is not right.
Tbh I don't know but I can sense it's coming since they just brushed it off very briefly last week when actually that topic is pretty much a red flag--to feel higher and superior than other people, it's the same as looking down on people, right?
this adaptation is so good. i love the characters, the editing, the humor, all the life and beautiful quotes from shin woo yeo, i literally love everything about this (except the jerks ofc). the main characters and the friends are so lovely and they have such a healthy relationship with eo. they fight and tease eo but always have eo backs! i love the happy three friends (AND lee siblings love dam and dan together), love the love-and-hate friendship between woo yeo and hye-sun.
now i hope the gumiho serial killer plot won't ruin the good early episodes
i like the fact that vincenzo remains as mafia, a villain till the end. as the monk said, he can't be a buddha…
and i truly appreciate how well-written hong chayoung as a character is. the epitome of strong woman. she's truly one of the best strong women characters in k-drama universe. this woman is no joke.
i like the fact that vincenzo remains as mafia, a villain till the end. as the monk said, he can't be a buddha but he can use his power as a mafia to fight for monsters that can't be punished by law and he will get compliments from buddha from time to time. to be honest, they ended the show just right. it's sooooo satisfying.
most viewers seem like they have complaints about kang sol-a right from the start, here, as kang sol-a defender, i'll elaborate her character based on my observation:
1) she's not STUPID. she was once a troublemaker of the family, contrary to her twin sister. sol-a's mom didn't even believe she was accepted into the best law school in korea. she passed all the requirements (essay, interview so far) so we don't need to doubt her brain capability at all. she has a strong sense of justice because she had experienced the bitter side of unfair law which motivates her to get into the law school and SHE DID IT. plus, essay is very important for university admission so her got accepted says a lot.
rather saying that she's stupid or dumb or incapable, i think she's still at the insecure stage of her surrounding like people who study at hankook law school are def best students, right? she's feeling inferior due to that reason which affects her confidence (notice she was more confident speaking out in class after got 97 marks in yangcrates' class). she only brings her goal to become a good lawyer and herself to school, she wasn't prepared much about the pressure that's why she doesn't seem like to prioritized grades or bar exam unlike other students. her pure intention is to be a lawyer who help poor people get their justice, she's still on that page before realizes the bigger things to achieve that.
she's not stupid or dumb at all that's why her getting 97 marks and be the only person who got the right answer was no surprise to me because i've been anticipating that moment of slap--for people who have been underestimating her from the get go.
she's very attentive to details, she doesn't jump into conclusion like most of the students when yangcrates and joon-hwi were accused (she was the only person who applied the concept of presumption of innocence during the whole thing happened at school--it might be bc she trusts prof. yang and joon-hwi, but she tends to see things differently), she was also the ONLY person who helped prof. yang and joon-hwi (girl even cleared joon-hwi from the charge) it proved that she's THAT capable, love it sexy brain. she noticed something is suspicious about the second autopsy and all. gosh.
i can go on but it's getting longer lol better stop now so that's all from me, a defender of yangcrates' favorite student, kang sol-a *wink*
