Lets help this drama get better. Min Jun actor needs to relax his shoulders and neck. He is moving his body as if it were a cement block

RELAX, MAN!!!!! Relax s that your voice will come from your core and be deeper. Relax your face and your body. RELAX.
and then ... HAVE FUN. MJ is an anxious person but he should not be totally bananas hyper like an Energizer bunny on steroids plus stiff. Make MJ be realistic and alive.
If MJ was really like it is acted in the drama, MJ would have been dead already from a hart attack, thyroid and adrenal exhaustion, and the actor might be too.....

Goal #1: be a better actor than Jun Ho actor from First Man. That actor is quite terrible so it shouldnt be difficult to outdo him. Dont let anyone say that that actor is better.

MJ actor does act some with his eyes, but the face and the body have to be acting too. His shoulders and neck are one piece of cement now and need to move a lot more fluidly.
He either looks like a super tight anxious person who is just about to faint from hyperventilation, like someone who just ran into an ER in total panic and can barely breathe and speak. OR like Wizard of Oz, blazing eyes behind a poker face.
Step on it, dude, make it happen. RELAX. let yourself breathe and let the voice come out from the core. Acting is not rocket science and certainly you can do it if you try properly. But please TRY.

I guess to be an actor, a person has to leave their pride aside and be silly, be sad, be happy, etc in front of many people. Acting is the act of self humiliation in some ways. So overcome it and let the people SEE YOU. Acting is not modeling. In modeling, the model stays cemented with a certain mask and has to look cool and composed and in control at all times, like a person superior than the audience. In acting, the actor FALLS APART IN VARIOUS EMOTIONS. IN PUBLIC. That's what acting is about. Models can NEVER do that. Actors must.

yay that was very well planned!

Every time I check the map and see S Korea sitting in the MIDDLE of China, with N Korea right above, Japan and Russia nearby .... I get beejeses ... how are those ppl even surviving without nervous breakdowns... sleeping at night?? when they are surrounded with pretty nasty superpowers.....
S Korea is quite special, isnt it.

Ah finally someone puts French cooking where it belongs - in France.
Korean food is amazing, so nutritious and healthy and yummy, produces lean and healthy ppl, and I am glad the drama got to celebrate it.
Imo the real French cooking is the French village cooking. and that ... resembles Korean food in so many ways... all kinds of stews and soups, lots of veggies.... and that is the kind of stuff good to eat.... and is NOT served in French restaurants bc it is "too plain" lmao . The French restaurant stuff shown in this drama is for the show lmao Those pastries look like they are gonna clog your intestines in an instant. That's why French eat so little of that "French cooking"

I got tired of kdramas peddling foreign stuff. it is ironic that both in kdramas and cdramas the military had to step in to remind ppl of their roots :) But someone had to stop some French restaurant or fried chicken, sandwich or whiskey shop etc sponsoring a product placement ... (in cdamas, the military reminded ppl that men shouldnt wear too much makeup i.e. look like anorexic teenage girls with tons of makeup on. Right on, Chinese military!)

So the proper salute to Korean food and the fact we learned to cook rice properly and to assemble a Korean dish is enough to make me feel satisfied, pun intended.

KSJ got his lady - and he was a lot more ... suave and experienced than real KSJ should have been lmao
and it all ended well, with an entry to Season 2. Yay.

But I think the next step is to have that KANGLIN COOKBOOK with recipes in digital form with all the scenes from the drama. This drama was a miniature cooking class. I am interested only in the Korean recipes :)

100% agree

He is a dinosaur, just like FL's grandma. If they are not going to go extinct asap, then...
he and grandma should date and take off to live in a nice sunny warm place..... LA Koreatown, Sidney, Thailand, Malasia, Vietnam - and leave their families alone :)

but he gave money to SR, to Aunt, etc he supported FL's dad, etc he is not entirely bad character.
Also, he likes FL's grandma and I was pretty sure those two will start dating

@OZE these posts of mine go together so this is what the other poster was referring to.

Oh I get it now after going through this. You should have been specific. I dont have a crystal ball and I dont read comments previous to what you are specifically replying to. By chance I saw what you meant. So I replied "exactly" to someone else's comment and he said "I think the most hilarious part is when superiors care so much about what the soldiers eat, saying it's the most important thing. As if the military is a vacation with 5-star food service." and then you came to criticize me.

I replied "exactly" to just "As if the military is a vacation with 5-star food service". I was too lazy to disagree with the previous sentence on its own. I took the two sentences together to mean "MILITARY SHOULD NOT REQUIRE 5-STAR FOOD SERVICE"

So ok based on your comment, I will change my reply and clarify the "exactly"

IF you had said that from the start then I would have thanked you for reminding me to keep my posts very clear and specific and we would have avoided this long and needless conversation.

lmao "he can join his wife in heaven and maybe there wont be such a problem"

and yet she is this meek polite person whom everyone loves lmao
but in reality she is a cruel old dinosaur
AND
the younger ones obey her... THAT part is stupidly and unnecessarily dragged on in the drama

As you said ... she will never have any other choice lmao

wow this looks like a very good plot!

asian dramas fund themselves by product placements of various sponsors so ... this was a cheesy sponsorship along with ... soju, whiskey, wine, fried chicken, sweets, pasta, beds, tables, catholic church, etc
it would be informative to learn how the sales of leashes in the s.x industry are trending after this drama
As someone is trying to westernize and destroy the culture

G the trash flakey man playing emotional yo-yo with EA's heart
Today I seduce you, tomorrow I push you away - and I am leaving anyways, BYE!
and then again - I seduce you, I push you away, I seduce you, I push you away...

HELLO! human heart is not a roller coaster amusement park....

So.. since he kissed her today, will he dump her tomorrow?

imo he is emotionally sick, he has trust and grief issues bc of death of his father and before that, he had no mother... so I think he has issues with committing and he does not know how to love or what love is

EA on the other hand is very clear about what love is bc she always had it . her parents are flawed but they really tried hard to raise the kids with love. Did you see how that old wound about her mom abandoning her was resolved fast? EA's parents really care.

G does not know how to care.

hm I think SR actually likes MH. When he came close and hugged around her waist and his face came super close almost kissing her .. . she was all for it...
until the last second when her mind kicked in and she pushed him away

Or the badmington they played so happily...

I think SR is happy with MH but would not admit it.

Well someone should have overheard Mr and Ms Satan already - didnt that old driver overhear something already? and he even told the Chairman to lock the door...
If the door is locked, there are more chances to catch them talking lmao

lmao indeed SR is boring and wont find anyone else lmao
MH on the other hand, WILL .... in 10 minutes lmao

"get away with murder" is an idiom in american english, which means that he lets her do WHATEVER she wants (the idiom emphasizes that by saying he would let her get away even with murder) but it is just a total exaggeration.... in real life it is used with kids and adults for infractions far lesser than murder

An example of common use: you have a mom who is letting their kid eat sweets instead of real lunch and then others complain she is letting the kid get away with murder

IT IS NOT REAL MURDER lmao the kid is just eating sweets instead of lunch - but it is considered a "serious crime" lmao bordering on murder lmao it is a joking exaggeration

*** In this case, MH reminds me of a parent spoiling his child SR, so that's why I used that idiom

====
In American English, there are lots of idioms / "jokes" with killing and death in it -
"I will kill you if you say one more word!" - doesnt mean you will kill them for real ... but this is a leftover threat from the hunting/war past. So "I will kill you" means anything from just a joke to a more serious threat of you yelling at the person
"He killed it" - means he did some task well, say he performed well, gave a good speech, etc (this is from hunting/war past - killing the target was a good thing)
"I am gonna die if you say one more word" - of course you will not die - this idiom is from Europe, esp Middle and Jewish, where laying guilt is perfected to the mastery
"he / this issue is killing me" - means he / the issue is annoying me, making me tired, or getting to me - and it implies that you cannot avoid it . Common use: "working overtime is killing me"
"he is killing me softly" means he is getting to me emotionally - think Roberta Fleck song
"he killed my enthusiasm"
"i am gonna kill myself if this keeps going on" - of course you wont kill yourself, you are just expressing being annoyed - and it is implied that you cannot escape "I will kill myself if we have to keep working overtime"

The same is word "sh.t" ....
Dont give me that sh.t - means: stop lying to me / gaslighting me / mistreating me
Sh.t! - I am surprised, annoyed, angry, happy, etc - depending on the tone used
I dont give a sh.t - means: I dont care
Dont be such sh.t - this is offense
It was sh.t loads of fun - this is a praise lmao
Sh.t head - this is offense, similar to di.k head etc
He is such hot sh.t - this is a compliment and a jealous reminder that he is showing off his glory - but also can be used sarcastically to put someone down
He is a hot pile of sh.t - this is very offensive, means he is really bad. If used sarcastically, it is very bad too
etc
