I just hope that the preview for episode 17 isn’t how it ends. Even if it is a cliffhanger, I’ll be extra…
I liked "Trapped" a lot too! For me it is second only to "Crossing the Boundary".
Everybody is saying that the novel has a happy ending so I'm hopeful that the preview was using the most provocative part of that episode simply to get us to watch. It won't surprise me if the thread-cutting is Dean trying to get Pharm to come to his senses.
While we wait for the upcoming episode, how about watching something non-controversial and light? Has anyone seen…
I really liked the mini-series and how happy the production company was that it was well-received. Being from the US, it is amazing to me that a company would choose to promote their artists using a m/m story. I can't imagine that happening in American media, and it made me want to support them even more.
No, you aren't the only one. That's what I keep repeating since weeks. Korn and Intouch's chemistry is the only…
Fluke is fantastic... I love his acting and how he lives his life.
I part ways with most people in thinking that Dean/Pharm is the more interesting couple and are better acted. Dean and Pharm show a range of emotions that aren't part of the Korn/Intouch story. Ohm and Fluke have a bigger challenge and I think they do an exceptional job.
Personally I wouldn't want an entire season watching Korn be moody and Intouch be relentlessly cheerful. That's 90% of what we see in the flashbacks now, and for me that got boring and predictable pretty fast. Their scenes don't add a lot of substance to the overall story other than to show how in love they were and how sad it was that they died. They're essential characters, but not on equal footing with Dean/Pharm in terms of the dramatic arc of the story.
For Korn/In, I wish they'd shown more of how they became a couple rather than all their romantic moments together after they were already a couple. But I guess I like watching "the chase" too much.
I love love love this series but one thing that's gnawed at me is what reason Korn had for taking the extreme measure of killing himself. Even if their two fathers had forcefully separated the boys, it would have been temporary at worst. Korn and Intouch would have eventually become adults and been able to tell their families to go pound sand.
Also, Korn *did* promise Intouch that he'd never leave him. This is at the core of the reincarnation storyline. So the fact that he *did* leave him -- and did the unthinkable right in front of him -- was uncharacteristically cruel.
In the series there was recently a scene where Korn's dad warned him that if he kept seeing Intouch, then Intouch himself would be in trouble, implying that the dad would bring harm to him or even kill him. Now, I can see where *this* could have been the premise for Korn's suicide. If it were to come to the point that Korn's dad had told him that he was, in fact, going have Intouch killed, then Korn could have used the threat of suicide to try to make his father back down. If his dad were to call his bluff, so to speak, then the reason for Korn's suicide could have been more well-intentioned: to sacrifice himself in order to spare Intouch from any harm.
Intouch wouldn't have had to be on the scene to witness it -- he could have reacted to Korn's death later, perhaps after he confirmed for sure that Korn was dead and that Korn's dad wasn't just trying to deceive him. In his despair he could have decided that he himself had nothing to live for.
The scene with the disgraced cop was there for more reasons than to give Yi Seo the realization that she loves Sae Ro Yi (which really didn't depend on that setting) .... the cop will be a big part of the endgame.
The only satisfying fate for Jang Dae Hee and Jang Geun Won is that they both end up in prison for life. The cop is the guy who can put them there. So, 10 to 15 years after we saw him on his knees in front of Sae Ro Yi, he'll get back up on his feet and come forward.
We didn't see him at this point in the series for nothing.

Can anybody "spoil" what's in the second part and the ending? Thanks.

I loved the first episode. It wasn't perfect but it promises a lot of great things to come.
If you're only two episodes in, you're in for some amazing twists and turns.

The way the series ends is gonna be so sweet and satisfying!
