I just checked the back of my DVD copy and there is an alternate ending!! I don’t remember it so I’ll watch it and come post a description :)

His best performance so far, in my opinion, is in the movie A Werewolf Boy(2012) with Park Boyoung and Yoo Yeonsoek. That’s when I became a fan and it was also a big break for him I think.

I recommend checking out the movie if you are interested in his work.

When Han Junwoo was listing all the things Vincenzo took from him in English and he screamed « My Money!! » I almost spat out my tea hahahahha

Also Hanseok taking that quiz. « Benchpressy » xD

And the art gallery women showing up at ByeBye Balloon.

Can’t forget that ridiculous pigeon scene hahahahahahahahahavav

Finally, Vincenzo who so obviously voted for Chaeyoung to be the shaman. That was cute and funny.

And they even made a reference to Home Alone! When HanSeo saw the picture of the Mafia guys he sent to kill Vincenzo, he said « they look like the thieves in Home Alone. Look at the feathers! » hahahahaha

As cool as that "memory walk" was...it was difficult to understand its logic.

I hope they explain how the brother just so happened to be there with the formula because it made zero sense based on everything we know about Taesan so far.

OMG I HAD THE EXACT SAME THOUGHT!! That moment made me laugh. Such a strange choice of music and it was so abrupt too. He was just sitting up hahahaha

Although Kim Dami's performance was great, Choi Wooshik was definitely the scene stealer here. He took a character that had not much going for him on paper and made him the most interesting character in the movie.

My interpretation: He likes her enough to not physically harm her but not enough to give up his sociopathic games and live a quiet peaceful life with her on an island lol

It hasn't been clearly explained (yet) about Taesan's time travelling (I assume his future self died and disappeared from the present when he hit the plane...). Based on this assumption, the Taesan we see is the present Taesan who has been living in hiding. He is not the one who was hit by the plane.

It was a bit confusing but I think they noticed in post production because they added timestamps for both scenes. That's how I knew the exact dates.

The nuke « hasn’t happened yet ». The day of the bombings October 30th 2020. The day Taesul started planning how to save Seohae - September 30th 2020.

Keep in mind that some of Seohae’s memories are from the future even ones of her as a child.

Their relationship is interesting. You can tell he despises and fears his older brother but at the same time he admires him and wants to be him. He copies him a lot (the hockey scene, the way he says « surprise »)

Kiss? Did I blink and missed it?

I’m surprised no one referred to him as Tiramisu Cake in the comments. That song pops into my head when ever I see him.

Also he was in Daybreak’s latest mv.

I laughed so much when the camera revealed Junwoo’s « meeting notes ».

« I will kill you!!!!!!! Fook!!!!!!!!%% you son of a beach »

Pure gold. Taek is killing this role. You can tell he is having so much fun with the character. Junwoo might become my favourite kdrama villain.

I was talking about his Italian not sounding like someone who actually grew up in Italy lol I thought it was well implied because I was answering the above comments. My bad.

I'll have to disagree with you on your last point. I'll take the lack of fluent Italian over dubbing any day. It would be too jarring to have Song Joongki lipsych some stranger's voice.

Mademoiselle was probably used for comedy because of its condescending undertone. It is somewhat archaic to call someone "mademoiselle" these days (at least where I am from).

I speak French and I could tell his pronunciation was good for someone who doesn’t speak the language but his speech is too slow and his intonation is off. However, since I don’t speak Italian it didn’t bother me too much but I can see how that would make people who do cringe especially since his character is supposed to be a fluent/native speaker.

What I have always admired about Song Joongki ever since I first saw him in Nice Guy is that he has such a youthful, innocent face but manages to have the coldest and most unsettling look in his eyes. I love when he takes on these « darker » roles because his « sweet » looks add an interesting layer to his performance.

I am so curious too about his motive for going undercover like that. Unless he used his connections to get the job without the credentials (meaning a higher up knows he's undercover), he would have had to get a fake identity (and find his puppet chairman), go to law school, study for years, get accepted at the most prestigious law firm as an intern...that would be a plan YEARS in the making just to play dumb and speak broken Korean around the people he already controls hahahahaha There has to be a really good reason if it's the latter!

The twist would have been more effective if they hadn't cast a celebrity like Ok Taecyeon. But Taec is great as the hopeless English-speaking intern that I understand why the role went to him. We'll see if he can pull off the evil chairman side of his role.
