at this point, nothing’s really decided. he may be in early stages. and i think the writes mostly wrote it that way to show us a certain side of dong-ju, one that only he can see and is aware of, because everything else he does is known, but here, it’s a secret
So, does DJ suffer from punch drunk syndrome or CTE? Hope not. Because writers might make up tart and try to convince…
you never really recover. if you’re treated early, it can subside and not show up at all, but if you get it, you can’t get rid of it, just have to do some damage control.
Episode 7 : i really loved this episode. The first 5 minutes made me tear up a little bit. Then seeing dong-ju completely out of his depth really put things into perspective. His speech during his disciplinary commitee was simple yet it was enough to understand his character perfectly : HE will fight for what's right, because nobody else will. Even if it means that he'll end up burning himself away bit by bit like Joe Yabuki did, fighting until the end. " Lying on the floor isn't humiliating, that's just life. You push through it, enduring it with gritted teeth ". (his punch drunkness is really making me nervous btw). Like Dong-Ju said : There are still more rounds to go.
It's not over until it's over. I'm glad he was able to push through again.
ps: I really love the fact that they're able to keep the tension for so long, constantly. The antagonist is really good. When he said : " Fair play, laws, rules ? That's something you keep in the ring, not in my streets " i wanted to PUNCH HIM HARD.
And that final kiss between Ha-Na and Dong-Ju FINALLY.
I'm glad that the romance doesn't take all the spot, it wouldve been a bit insufferable. It's the perfect mix.
Episode 8 : The plot resumes pretty and progresses well in this episode. I really like the Drugmon girl, in the last episode we learned that she was the one who helped the mother. She keeps helping them (whether it be intentionally or unintentionally) and i think it will be her demise in the end but i really like her.
Loved the bit with Sang Yi's character getting the shot, his trauma is getting adressed a bit more so i think it will be resolved in time, along with Hana's (hers is greatly linked to the antagonist so it's a given). It's really good that the show doesn't forget about the others. I feel like by the end, both dong-ju and sang-yi will become some kind of friends while still being rivals. Dong Ju's emotional intelligence is good so i think it's good that he's the one catching up on what's going on.
The pacing is really good too, there's a lot to cover but i don't feel like we're late on something.
The OST's are as good as ever too.
The bit with the korean-russian man talking to his mother saying " i'm not killing people i swear " over the phone had me screaming.
Good Boy really is funny as hell and i love that show for that. It's the perfect mix between action, fun and romance.
The tunnel action scenes : it was awesome. Park Bogum's acting is honestly attaining another level, he surprises me everytime. The others arr really great too. The scenes are really well choregraphed, the tension is there. When GET IN THE RING started it felt like i was IN THERE with them, fighting.
I'm soooo looking forward to seeing the next to episodes.
i think we shouldn’t be too harsh with this movie. it’s probably to promote the novel and manwha. Personally, having read the manwha, i think this movie is a good thing. I don’t have any expectations but i’m happy to see the characters i love on the big screen. We should take this movie as it is. it’s an adaptation of course it won’t be as detailed as the novel / manwha. but i hope it does well in the box office so maybe it could lead to an anime adaptation like solo leveling
i won’t speak on Dong-ju’s character now but i’m surprised to see so many people that don’t get it lmaooo. media illiteracy at its peak 🤣🤣🤣
