I am one of the very few who liked these last 2 episodes. The chickens are coming home to roost as to the trouble their wandering hearts have created such complications. Kong Ryong has an honest conversation with his fiancee, and although it breaks her heart, when her dad calls all the shots as to blocking his career, then having him sent on a selfish mission, the ML character is acting out trying to pursue what he wants regardless of all the controls put on him, leading to serious consequences.
As for Eve, yikes. Her man risked his life to save her, but, can any relationship really survive that sort of betrayal? Aside from the soap opera aspects of this plot, I found the action heartpounding as to being stranded by debris strike (a very real fear I have since the movie Gravity and reading about all the junk up there from so many satellite launches) as well as your classic time countdown on survival, to the action related to rescue efforts and the anxiety of loved ones, and a nation watching.
The humor associated with getting used to gravity again was funny. Little details like simply dropping a water bottle because of the expectation it would keep floating, other details.
The greedy old man maintains his greedy old man behavior, with that classic wicked laugh. He is so bad he is funny.
I am torn. I really dislike the FL, still love the 2nd FL, and that they wait this long for the big revelation. That they whole town knows and how it impacts the kids. And I wonder - it is like friends but not friends with their classmates. And yet, I am softening up on these two, but at this point, each should start off clean with a new relationship with other people, without the ton of baggage attached, which will never go away, because that is one messed up family history.
I don't know why this is rated so low, but no matter... this is a well constructed sageuk. It is so well produced and I love this cast. Yes, it has the tropes of concealed gender, palace politics, scheming to get the throne, etc., But I love how this plot is different in that much takes place OUT of the palace, in a mirror experience so to speak. So different and yet alike in terms of what is done to obtain, retain and use power and wealth. Yes, we have a love triangle, and a high stakes one at that. There is revenge, love, unrequieted love, friendships tested. I really look forward to the finale next week.
They threw everything including a Christmas tree at this finale, which the dialogue felt forced and awkward. As for the PPL, I feel bad for Tiffany. If a ring can't get it done, then, not a very good endorsement is it? I will say that Lee Ki Taek as Chris touched me more than I expected. He really did well with that character.
He’s not there. He’s in jail. If you mean her husband he was not working when she was fired. If you mean the…
in ep 11 he was supposed to be fired. He was still calling the shots. That was yesterday when I posted. Today's finale, He didnt go to jail until episode 12 - after Chris went to the police. I see in episode 12 how it all wrapped up.
I am not buying the redemption arc for FL. Also if shareholders fired CEO why is he still there? There is a lot to wrap up tomorrow. I have a feeling it may be less than satisfying. We shall see
What a tense episode - plus the redemptive arc, apology, etc. Reminded me of the tension from Gravity movie. The ending song by Jin! OMG so gorgeous!!!!
At least the SFL knows her place (in a nice way) telling the ML to go and tell the FL how he feels was nice as…
I feel bad for the SML as he already lost out to his first love and now he is hooked on the FL, and he needs to find someone who will appreciate him. I like the 2nds in this drama so I guess I got too attached myself - LOL
I thought it was an exciting episode and have plot vibes like the movie Gravity. Glad one character didn't unalive herself. Is it me or did it seem like almost a delayed reaction to alarm of danger approaching? Like they are staring at screens in disbelief for awhile til someone finally starts yelling commands?
I love how we are going to transition from ML and FL being at cross purposes, but... trouble ahead when Jun Hwa will have to choose sides. Is blood thicker than water?
when he was sold, he was seen as asking if he could choose Su Hyeon to be his manager. Then when the next episode picks up, all you see is her rejecting him and that previous scene not even shown. This week Yoo Jin U is in the bathroom with a cut wrist, Sim Jin U tries to cover him, and he calls his mom to come help. She then gets in an accident. This time we see that he put the phone away and did not call, and there is no explanation as to why his mom was in the car. If so, it is really poor editing and continuity errors.
as bad as the CEO of Pandora was, there was a statement that was an oblique criticism of humanity, and of idol fans in particular - people love a story where someone from the bottom perserveres and becomes successful. However, what they like even better is when someone falls from the top to the bottom, and they get to throw stones at them.
I really want to understand why the female lead is so stupid ,, she even doesn't look like a good mother she failed…
Even when she then no longer has a job, her husband doing housework and she is lying on the sofa, barely enough courtesy to lift her foot out of the way of the vacuum cleaner. Even her husband was concerned with the bad stories,and she doesn't give a damn until finally her kid calls her. Her character is such a bad wife, mother, boss and mentor. Just over the top bad. At first I sympathize with her being pushed out of the business, but at this point I don't care. They may try to have a redemptive arc, but wow, it is really late in the game for that.
The ending of Episode 8 vs beginning of 9? Are we supposed to forget he requested to have her manage him? My dislike for FL has gone from bad to worse. So many vile people in this drama. Also how people can be swayed by bad faith journalism out for gotcha stories and generating outrage for profit. Such things can and do kill people. So disgusting.
The ML actor, he's only 26 years old but his face looks old, why do I not like him...
he was adorable in the drama as the lead in The Story of Park's Wedding Contract. Having his hair pulled back and hidden makes him look older, having it down he looks much younger. He was the Crown Prince in Under the Queen's Umbrella.
Following the rules during a space mission is necessary, not dogmatic.
She kept the fruit flies secret too saying that they had to be hidden or destroyed Her man cheating on her is not pertinent as to her breaking some rules and enforcing other as commander she is in charge but as ML says, inconsistent
As for Eve, yikes. Her man risked his life to save her, but, can any relationship really survive that sort of betrayal?
