In the webtoon, I think this scene is perhaps the 1st time when Han-young tries to remind himself that he hates Se-hui, but has trouble doing so. He takes her to a restaurant that was a favorite of hers (in past time-line). But webtoon Se-hui (webtoon) acts as if it is her first time there - and she looks so cute that Han-young begins to soften towards her.
In the drama, even w/out subs, it's clear that she has been there before. A really cute scene and there is no way that Se-hui (drama) is going to turn out to be the same as 2035 Se-hui. I'm really looking forward to how this dynamic plays out (not counting on smooth sailing but should be fun).
I was enjoying myself, but his ex-wife is ruining it for me... she's really the average annoying fl in kdrama,…
He gets redemption to "fix his mistakes" (presumably). She will get redemption (presumably) because the original dynamics (loveless marriage vs no marriage) are different. And then he - together with his rag-tag team - will get revenge against the villains. Viewers like me LOVE Redemption Arcs.
One reason that Season 4 might be iffy is that the set for CEO Jang's house/tunnel/secret hideout is one huge all-connected set in a sound stage. With no immediate plans for a fourth season, it would be expensive to keep the set together for several years.
Frankly, I would love to see limited (perhaps 6 episodes) mini-seasons where the Rainbow team travels internationally partially and then uses the taxi on-location in SKorea. Perhaps they could at least preserve the secret hide-out set.
But mostly, I'm just sitting around hoping for news about Season 2 of The Art of Negotiation. 😊😊
FL nowhere to be found, she got less screen time than his ex wife.
Her overall role is still to come as Han-Young uses her to bring down Jang Tae Sik . And HE is important to Han-Young only because it will bring down Kang Sin-jin. She is not a romantic element in this drama.
Triangle is clearly Jeong-hoo and Albert O but there's no way Geom-bo will have feelings for Albert. I hope they don't extend his crush (or whatever) for a full 16 episodes. Not sure if they will pair him with any other woman since they are all older than him.
Can someone who has read the webtoon spoil this for me. If they are following the plot as it is from the webtoon,…
I haven't read the webtoon (just summaries) but the drama is following the general overall plot in terms of the various stories (serial killer, insurance murder, sinkhole) . The regression was twenty years, I believe (not 10 as in the drama). I don't think they can stuff every single sub-plot into 14 episodes. According to @CiderMoon, Kwak Sun Won (Han-young's killer) is not a character in the webtoon.
As for romance, MBC says that in the drama, Han-young and So-Hee have a "love-hate" relationship so I think that is what is playing out right now.
I've only read summaries of the webtoon, but my impression is that Jin-ah is not a major character throughout the webtoon, nor is Jang Tae Sik. At least, not in the early chapters which focus on the early Chungham District stories: serial killer, murder for insurance. Now that Han-young is in Seoul, we'll see more of her.
I'm looking at the MBC character chart. On the Team Kang Sin-Jin side, there is a mysterious person (no face) named Park dang-go (that's what my phone translator says although I have a hard time deciphering the hangul, but the surname is Park. However, I can't locate the chart on the MBC site today, I'm looking at the one on NamuWiki.
If I understand this correctly, SBS television will broadcast in the USA at the same time as in Korea. News, entertainment shows, etc. Probably no English subs except as auto-generated. I look forward to it as a way to improve my miserable skill in understanding Korean. One question might be whether the ads (in between shows) are the Korean ones or will be local.
Kwak Sun-won is the man that was torturing someone in earlier episode - I thought he was different than the man following Han-yeong??? There is a mystery person on the MBC Character chart named Park Dang-go but so far there's no indication of who he is.
After seeing the preview for episode 6 XD, it's confirmed that the ex-spouses will get back together, but now…
They will have a love/hate relationship (according to the MBC character chart). Also, she's on Team Kang Sin Jin in the beginning. I do think that the writer is establishing her as someone who will deserve a redemption arc - her father and Sin-jin are using/manipulating her and Lee Han Yeong is just as ruthless.
I'll be surprised if they actually get married in the drama.
I hope in this new life Han Young and Sehee really fall in love 😂, and maybe team up too against the villains.…
I would like to see it as well (there were glimmers in 2035 that she was unhappy that he ignored her, but she has too much pride to say so). But, I'm not getting my hopes up - according to MBC web site, she's on team Sin Jim - at least in the beginning.
the junk collector lady who always visits his parents junkyard is the one who picked up the book, while sorting…
The junk collector part was easy to understand. I guess you're right - Mom simply thought the ledger was suspicious enough to call her son. I'm also unclear how Han Young knows that the ledger exists and why it is important - I don't think we got a flashback to 2035 yet. Or, perhaps I missed something with reporter lady and her father - that entire sequence didn't seem to add anything.
I'm wondering if I missed a scene. W/out being too spoilerish, at the end of Ep. 4, many people are searching for a spiral bound "ledger. Han Young's mother calls him, excited that she has found a book as described. Was there a scene where he told her what he was looking for? How did she know he was searching for it?
Or, is this possibly another "missing scene" that will be filled in at the beginning of Ep. 5? Honestly, if true, I hate that kind of trickery writing - so lazy.
