Last week it was released on Netflix around 11:00 pm KST, if I recall correctly.

I just watched the direct broadcast, looking forward to a re-watch on Netflix with the subs.

I'm going to give Cafe Minamdang a look as well.

Be still my fluttering heart - latest still cuts of Jae Uk and Mu Deok.

I was debating whether to get up at 5:00 am (my time) to watch the tVN broadcast w/out subs. The debate is over - I'm going to be tuning in.

Thanks woong! Because they were laughing, I thought maybe that was it. So glad they kept it in the show. just yesterday, I started to read the bios of some of the actors, especially YJS because his voice/character range has seemed amazing to me - someone who understands only a handful of Korean words (thank-you, etc) and yet he communicates so much by the tone of his voice, gestures, eyebrows, lol.

Agree with everything, plus (to add to your list):

Why does such a "little body" want to eat all the time?? She asks that question several times. Hmmmmm. . . . maybe to support two souls?

It will definitely be one of the big reveals. Maybe we'll learn more about her "physical" strength - as opposed to the strength of her energy/power after they begin training.

I'm glad there is at least one other person on this board who is interested in the promotions and teasers instead of harping about ratings all day long. 😍

Anyone understand spoken Korean? In this video at the 6 minute mark, the actors talk about the scene where Park Jin is running after Jang Uk and he slips and falls. Would love to know what they are saying.

A similar (identical?) trailer was posted on Instagram before the show aired. The English subs on this version are much easier for my American brain to comprehend. For instance, in the version you linked to, Park Du Gang is identified as a "Social Butterfly". In the prior version, it says "Daeho's Super Insider". I'm going to revise my character descriptions after watching this. Thanks for posting. 😊

II don't think it's dad - I think it's Park Jin.

Cheol-Young is Mom Sa-ra's fiancée. I posted yesterday that I felt that HE was the most likely next target - just like YS Dad.

From the moment Mu-deok appeared in Ep 1 to the end of Ep. 2, Jung So Min portrayed a wide range of accents, posture, movements, and "attitude" or "personalities". Same for Lee Jae Wook - going from pretend spoiled to pretend clumsy to forceful and determined and back to pretend clumsy. The director must be an amazing man.

We don't know if Mudeok was blind or not - Naksu bumped into her when she had the blindfold on and certainly believes that Mudeok was blind.

Info on the 1st OST release(must wait until June 26???):

Edit: June 26, 6:00 pm KST release.

If you are impatiently waiting for Saturday, this will help pass the time. It is a fun 10 minute clip - primarily a BTS of the photo shoots for making the various promotional posters. Several interviews as well, but not subbed.

I guess I missed that - there are so many KIMs in this show - Roma, Min-hee, Mom Sa-ra, bartender and now. . . fiancée. Back in ep. 4, Mom called the chef Chulyong (no surname, I guess) and now she refers to him as Mr. Kim? Or, it depends upon who is doing the sub-titles in a particular week. Thanks for clarification.

We will get some happy childhood scenes.🥰

Gosh - I thought it was a copy of Obi Wan Kenobi when he was a Jedi Knight.

When he was being punished, the Summer guy (Jang gu) said "UK's gate of energy is opened just enough to keep him alive." So, his energy is not "nothing". But, a bit of a shock that if it is completely closed/shut, he may die. I do agree with MasgicWonders - by holding onto her, the ghost dog didn't focus on her.

Well, that's a possibility that I never thought of (trying to use YS as bait), but go all the way to Jeju island? It's a stretch - but it did provide a cliffhanger.
