Ha ha. I just finished watching right this minute. Moon Ho told his Noona about her daughter (he said he was going to tell her at dinner) and then they went over to her place immediately with all the food she’d made for dinner. She spoke as if she didn’t know, referring to the daughter as the adopted dad’s child the entire time. But the subtext was clearly that she knew but wasn’t saying it aloud. Yeong Shin says something in an inner monologue about she and her mom being a lot alike, knowing but not saying things aloud. Moon Ho always wanted to be with his Ex but his guilt towards his Noona and Ji An kept him from committing to the relationship… Resolution of the murder charge was not well done. They neglected to show that wrap up although they did show him bugging the conversation at the bar with Elder where it is frankly said that he was framed and forced to confess. Agree putting a bow on these things was done in a pretty rushed way. But I still loved the show overall.

I am waiting for most episodes to be avail before I will watch so I can binge the series, but I’m very excited to watch. I love everything Junho has been in. He is the best!

I’ve been waiting for more episodes to drop before I start this. Today I watched all the trailers and saw Bin Bin in one and was so excited! Sad it is just a cameo but love the O2O reunion, however brief. I love Yang Yang and Bin Bin. Both are my absolute favorite Chinese LMs.

Episode 20 is on 🔥🔥🔥!

His role in Love O2O is one of my fave characters. Although I’ve seen him in several dramas, it only “hit” me a few episodes into this one that he was K.O. in Love O2O.

I love this show so much that I’m going to subscribe to another service just so I can jump 6 episodes further ahead than I am right now on Viki! How’s that for an endorsement?!
I love everything about the lead characters in this. Love they are both given opportunities to act cheeky and flirty instead of always stiff or cold. Why is the rating only an 8??

He was also a really great villain in Sisyphus:The Myth. This article is what has made me decide to finally watch Dr. Cha.

@pekopekopeko You sound a bit like someone who is planning on throwing acid on your sister’s face if she “shames” your family. Those are some seriously extreme views you are spouting. The culture of “reality tv” and people who are famous for being rich brats is definitely overpowering in the US, but why are you generalizing the West by US popular culture? There are other countries in the West and there are millions of people who ignore this pop culture and don’t glorify these idiots at all. That doesn’t mean that we expect that famous people should have to live a life without blemishes. The standard that Korean stars are held to by fans and the public is too rigorous. We shouldn’t even BE in these people’s personal lives. Their families are the only ones who should care about a situation like this. It isn’t anyone else’s business. The stress that the potential for scandal must create in their daily lives must be overwhelming. The price paid for fame in South Korea is much higher than that in the US.

Ew. Must be terrible to look back and realize you dated someone like that in hindsight. Maybe the career losses aren’t so bad compared to what a life with her might have been!

Loved him in Crash Course in Romance. He has a lot of screen presence!

I really enjoyed it. I think it could have used 8 episodes to help us better understand the backstory/motivation of the CEO and the whole mutant thing. Kim Woo Bin was really great in the role.

I am almost never interested in seeing something twice from start to finish. I might want to revisit a scene or an episode, but a series? Almost never. This one is different. Because I’m reading while watching k-dramas, I feel as though I sometimes might miss a fine detail here or there and usually I’m fine with that. I might rewind 10 seconds to listen again and see if I disagree with a subtitling choice (my Korean is limited to what you pick up watching 2500 hours of TV - I should probably be fluent by now, right?) or because I want to see the subtle details of a gaze, etc. However, for this one I’m going to rewatch the entire series. Why? There were things I found jarring while experiencing them the first time around: sound editing choices, for example. The beautiful but loud romantic background music that accompanies the flashbacks to their time at the beach ends abruptly with no segue into a scene with complete silence as a backdrop. Loud city background noises again cut straight to silence. Nothing tapers out to transition you gently from scene to scene. A lot of times when I’m acutely aware of the sound editing in a show it is because it is awful. Music that conveys the wrong emotion of the scene, music that is so loud it overshadows the sound and action of the scene itself… things not quite synched up. Sound has such a huge impact on the viewing experience and “jarring” sound is usually firmly on the “cons” side for me. “The Eighth Sense” clearly used these transitions purposefully as a stylistic choice that grew on me as the show progressed. It added another layer of feeling or sensation to the experience of watching. I’m looking forward to delving into the artistic choices further on a rewatch.
The romance - the way they are just organically drawn to each other is really well done. We also don’t often get this level of passion displayed in kdrama - especially BL. I’ve only watched maybe 8 BL’s and 3 or 4 of those were Thai, but I just read a description that said something like dead fish kisses and OMG, yes! I have seen some truly terrible, zero chemistry kissing in BL Kdramas. Not here.
The everything. Yep, just need to watch it again!!!

Omg, I stopped too a few months ago and haven’t had the courage to return to it. I need to be emotionally ready!

They wouldn’t dare say she was just some chick he shagged… just sayin’. Honestly the truth isn’t in any of the statements made by entertainment companies, ever. And he grew up in the States at a prestigious boarding school where I guarantee he had a ton of relationships as a teen. The Entertainment companies create these fantasies because it is what the crazy fans in Asia want and expect of their stars, not because it is truth.

You can’t pick the family of the person you love. Nor should you visit the sins of the parent on the child. Her parents were involved in some shady stuff. Sucks for everyone impacted, including her. I absolutely LOVE Lee Seung Gi’s work. Him getting married has no impact on his craft. As someone who appreciates his work, I’m happy if he finds happiness. His work has brought me happiness so if the universe sends some back his way that is GREAT. Judging the love lives of idols is really not our business as fans. I think it must be incredibly difficult to be a star in Korea. Wishing happiness to the couple!!

It amazes me when North-Americanized people choose to live and work in countries like China and Russia where information and speech is so limited. I find it fascinating and would love to sit down with them to have a conversation about what it is like to make that change and if it impacts them daily or if they are just oblivious to it most of the time. Like do they acclimatize to the bubble quickly because it is just the norm there?
But honestly, do you think that if a BTS member announced a relationship there wouldn’t be hundreds of thousands, or even millions of ARMY crying because Oppa has forsaken them? As an ARMY myself I would cheer for them, but the Korean ARMY members would probably lose it. I wish there were some way to help influence the fan culture abroad. I have watched thousands of hours of kdramas and hundreds of hours of cdramas. I really enjoy the television they create. Bathe price these idols have to pay is just too high!

Frankly I think it is ridiculous to get involved in stars private relationships. It is their business, period. As fans, we need to limit ourselves to admiring their work as actors and remember that they deserve to have private lives just like anyone else. It’s one thing if they are racist, sexist bigots in real life - bring on the recriminations and hatred! But, if their crime is dating, having sex or getting married? Just leave them alone. How about recognizing that this poor kid is a victim here? I like his acting. I think he is incredibly brave for giving up his US citizenship and committing to life under such scrutiny in a society where freedom (of speech and comportment) is so limited. Stars in the US may have to deal with paparazzi and lack of privacy, but at least they can openly have relationships without losing fans who think their idols dating means they are unfaithful to their fans. It is creepy the way fans treat their idols as not being entitled to date, have sex, get married or basically be humans.

How does sleeping with someone make you “not single”? There is a difference between sexual relationships and romantic relationships. Frankly I think it is ridiculous to get involved in stars private relationships. It is their business, period. As fans, we need to limit ourselves to admiring their work as actors and remember that they deserve to have private lives just like anyone else. It’s one thing if they are racist, sexist bigots in real life - bring on the recriminations and hatred! But, if their crime is dating, having sex or getting married? Just leave them alone.

I love this show. Waiting impatiently for an episode to drop later today!

I really miss seeing him act. He was so good in “When Time Stopped.” I hope he will be cast in a drama again soon. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
