The bully started to cry. I love that passing detail. As mean as that kid is, he's got a back story and it's probably very unpleasant. While I don't expect the series to spend time with it that split-second glimpse at his face said just enough, and I'm glad they thought to include it.
At this point I'm starting to feel a bit impatient. This post-death investigation into yourself is damn hard! I wonder how many ghosts solve their life puzzle before time runs out, especially if they can't get a living human to help. The streets ought to be teeming with the undead.
Like all fantasy dramas this one makes up its own rules, then breaks them when it sees fit. Phob can't touch human flesh? Well, no ... not unless he really *wants* to.
And he can apply product to Phat's hair, don't forget. They didn't even bother justifying that with a silly explanation.
As Phob has been manipulating household objects throughout the series I've wondered what that would look like to someone who randomly walked in. I finally got to see that in the scene with Phob's dad. I half expected Phob's dad to accuse Phat of pulling a David Blaine on him, because it is definitely true that any decent street magician could do that trick. But I realize that Phob and Phat were in a tight situation and had to improvise.
When we learned the cause of Phob's death it was pretty mundane. I had gone into this expecting a murder mystery, so whatever the insight it is that finally gets Phob to punch his ticket to the afterlife, I expect it will feel pretty anticlimactic.
So far, the coolest thing for me was the way that the creepy neighbor Nuan used her tears to make it possible for Ben to see Phob.
The uncoolest thing was Phob's outfit with the farmer overalls.
I wonder if Phob's body feels warm to Phat when they hug.
Don't get me wrong - I'm enjoying the series a lot. I just think it's starting to drag a little.
Sang Woo snapping screensaves from Jae Young's Insta -- it was like he'd unexpectedly struck gold and totally forgot that he was supposed to hate the guy.
I've never appreciated a "villain" as much as I appreciate Ki Joon. Yoon Park's performance really brings him to life in a way that shows how human Ki Joon is. I mean, even knowing what a terrible thing he did, at this point I feel kind of sorry for him and hope he pays enough penance over the course of the series to earn a happy ending.
Whatever the South Korean version of the Emmy Award is, please give it to Yoon Park for Best Supporting Actor.
As for Yoo Jin, she's a bad apple, period. The only fun I get out of watching her is when her machinations fail, which (so far) is always. If the series intends to have her plan one scheme after another and always fall flat on her face, my god how entertaining that's going to be.
I like that he's starting out as a player who thinks he's all that. He knows what to do to tease another guy (and…
:)
Sorry if I confused you ... I watched with the same trashy subs that you probably found on DM. I think some of those must have been auto-translated. Fortunately, a lot of the interaction between Chin and Ue has no dialog at all, unlike with the other couples.
Also, to understand most of what is said when Chin and Ue fight at the end of Episode 2 you need to watch the recap at the beginning of Episode 3.
I like that he's starting out as a player who thinks he's all that. He knows what to do to tease another guy (and started in on Ue from the moment Ue moved into the dorm room), but shows a tender side when he thinks Ue is unaware.
For me their storyline is the only one worth following. The rest seem like the scraps from old BL scripts discarded in 2017.
For some reason the sister just gets on my nerves 😓
Might one of the reasons be the dear sister screaming into the phone and saying awful things to JHK because their mom fell ill (a mom who often fakes it for attention)?
Once in the hospital and the talk started about medical tests I figured it would turn out to be the flu. But no ... it wasn't the flu, it was even less than that: dehydration and a need for rest.
I can't stand the mother. (Love the actress, though.)
How could Han Ji Joon again ask for Jin Ha Kyung's help after what he did to her!! Worse kind of looser I've ever…
I admit that it's hard for me to hate him, but only because he's so whipped by his ex-wife and so hapless in just about every aspect of his work. (Did he get to his position only because JHK was there beside him?)
In his deluded mind he thinks that JHK isn't over him yet. Maybe that made him think there were those feelings he could leverage when he called her.
the preview of ep 7 bro i’m kinda pissed with the kid of Dong Han saying Divorced just like that. I mean ofc…
The wife and daughter get little sympathy from me. Dong Han is trying, which is more than we can say for them. That breakfast conversation was a hoot -- like they wouldn't understand why he would move out? Please.
Milk's brother and his friend are adorable, calling each other "B1" and "B2" from Bananas in Pajamas and wearing those coordinating/contrasting striped shirts.
You know they must be close if they picked out the day's outfit together. :)
However, I thought they'd already picked up on Pun being attracted to Milk.
After the interview with the loving gay couple, as soon as the director said "Cut!" they each flew to an opposite end of the couch. ^_^
And Pun's fiancee ... she wants to find him at the hospital but instead of going to the front desk and asking for him, she sits for hours next to a side door on the chance he'll walk by?
I can source the uncut version but I hate having to do it. :(
You've made me curious, though.
That aside, I do think this quest is going on for a little too long. The more they make us wait, the more awed I expect to be by what Phob discovers.

I think he was miffed at the end of the episode because he's jealous of Ben? He has started to have feelings for Phob.
On that note, I predict that the embrace we see in next week's preview is a dream.
