First - apparently Chris was her subordinate, so may not constitute "harassment", but certainly inappropriate…
I thought the way he touched Hye-sook- kinda squeezed her shoulders while suggesting they go out to lunch - was clearly unwanted on her part, but she didn't dare say no. And then in the car, she was unhappy about whatever happened or was said during the lunch. One of the many small hints that there are more stories and character history to be revealed which is a major reason reason I am enjoying the show. I need to write up a list, lol.
lol k superstition reading some comments.... dont know what version you saw some but mine had english subbed even…
On Netflix, the difference is between "English" and "English (CC)".
English (CC) will provide ALL of the spoken words because it is for people who hard of hearing. Closed Captioning also notes who is talking (in a group setting) and also provide minor descriptions like "scoffs", "crying",
Also important note: the "English (CC)" subtitles usually don't appear for several weeks, and sometimes never. It's very unusual for a drama to include the Closed Captioning from the very beginning.
Examples of other current Netflix dramas that do NOT have the CC yet: Miss Night and Day; Romance in the House. When I was watching "Queen of Tears" I noticed around the time of Episode 10 that when I wanted to rewatch a scene from Ep. 2, the CC had been added and it was gradually incorporated but it was several weeks after an episode aired. Hope that helps.
Did you notice that subtle tone of harassment between Seo Hye-sook (ML's mother) and her new boss. Something happened at that lunch that made her unhappy - perhaps he merely told her she wasn't going anywhere OR perhaps he made it clear he wants an affair if she wants to get a new assignment. Anyway, it was there and. . . . .
I may be wrong, but I think one of the many small stories in this drama might be the similarities between Hye-sook and Seok-ryu. Both women driven to be at the top and both used and abused (I use that term loosely). Hye-sook has taken lousy assignments (from Paris to small countries in Africa?), and in the end was once again passed over for a top position in Korea. She's an older version of Seok-ryu, but Seok-ryu broke free.
If we have time on our upcoming visit to Korea, hubby and I will visit that location. I thought it was hilarious…
I think they are all over Namsen "mountain" (where the iconic tower is located), but I'm guessing these scenes were filmed on what appears to be called the "Love Lock Bridge".
Is there people here from Korea and if so is it true people there aren't liking it much? Most of us like it so…
It has a LOT of competition but Sunday rating was higher than 1st weekend - in fact quite good for a cable channel. Korean ratings are important, but Netflix popularity is also critical - and this drama was in Netflix Top 10 last weekend.
The mix of veteran actors playing dynamic characters and in contrast at each other is making the show fun and…
I adore Jung So Min and intrigued by Jung Hae In (my first look at him) but the stellar cast of parents (not to mention several cameos) is simply icing on the cake for me.
Cursing someone with a padlock is next level of pettiness 😂😂
If we have time on our upcoming visit to Korea, hubby and I will visit that location. I thought it was hilarious that they used their "wish" for negative thoughts.
someone in the comments said that Chris' English didn't make any sense and sounded very AI generated (which I…
A bit of research would tell you that the actor (Hayden Won) spent 2 years trying to learn English. the character deserved everything he got but I don't think the actor was speaking "fake" or AI generated English.
Oh i think they were spot on in casting her. She has that antipathic demeanor and look that says "I can seduce…
You are correct - which is why she has never been a favorite. I anticipate that she will attempt to cause trouble and will be summarily blasted out of Seung-hyo's life - h
Well, it's official. Seung-hyo's ex-girlfriend will appear at some point. (Seo Ji Hye - not a favorite). It's called a "special appearance" so presumably only 1 or 2 episodes.
Am I the only one who thinks seok ryu also had crush on choi seung during their high school days and it will be…
I know nothing about writer-nim, but we have already seen/heard small little hints of their past history together - with HUGE gaps to be completed/filled in.
Yes, I think that at one point, she developed an adolescent "crush" (No way will I ever call their feelings as "true love") on him just as he did with her. And he valued their friendship more than his crush. I bet we see the same dynamic with her - altho perhaps at a different point in the time line. Perhaps that's shy SHE "ran away" to the US?
During those scenes after his accident - when she was harassing him - he definitely did NOT have any romantic feelings for her! I think he eventually convinced himself it was a simple "crush" - moved on with his life. He DID have a girlfriend - she's appearing at some point.
I've been trying to figure out the timeline - he won the Seoul swim meet in 2007 - was that their senior year in highschool? Were they in college when he began training for the 2008 Olympics?
He DID have a significant girlfriend she's appearing at some point. Since her ex-fiancee is also Korean, I assume we will see him as well. This romance is on a very bumpy road which is one reason I'm enjoying it so much.
So the 2nd ML is already a father and his wife died I guess. They just didn't disclosed it in this episodes. But…
Seok-ryu said they were both 33 years old (international) - the same age as Jesus Christ when he was crucified.
I think ML took 3 monhts off while in college/University to go back-packing in the US? So, he visited her at that point - perhaps while she was still at Berkeley?
I've said from the first weekend - when their history (childhood, adolescence, young adult) is fully revealed, we are going to see missed opportunities, mis-communication, a handful of trauma (Seung-hyo's accident for example). I consider it a given that both ex'es will show up at some point.
Kang Dan Ho is maybe the father of the smart little girl from the park scene. Mo eum's mother was also about say…
That was my first thought. And then. . . I thought, oh no 😟 just like Doctor Slump's 2nd couple - who never received a satisfactory build-up. Hope this drama does a better job.
