can anyone explain to me what eun-a meant when she said she feels like she could defeat them now that she saw…
I think she was referring to a prior scene, when she told her director co-workers "like if you're human, but not humane?" She was shooting an arrow right at them, and they knew it. And she knew they got the message because of their reaction, and that was her "seeing their weakness." What is their weakness? They are all hanging on by a thread because while they have a job in their area of study, and DongMan does not, he has something they don't have, and they know it. The character is already pretty straightforward with her critiques; I imagine she will be giving it with all she's got.
does anyone have recs to a romance/dynamic like this? (no teacher-student romances... this is an exception bc…
The kdrama "Lost." The ML does similar work, and the FL has a similar age difference and job setup (ie, she's not thrilled with it.) I'm getting the same angsty feels with LTL as I did with Lost.
I cannot read Japanese & rely on the English subtitles to make sense of what is going on screen. I have already…
I think it's just saying that the host bar likely is not using standard legal business practices. I'm not sure why they mention it, but it could either be a) don't use this bar as an example of how business should be run (haha) or b) you might be offended by how this business is run.
Warning to Christians, stay away from this. humanizes and glorifies demons also there is Baal (Molak/Bathomet)...…
Hi, Jess! I'm a Christian, and I was hesitant to watch this drama because let's be real, this is no one's first rodeo and we all know how dramas can misappropriate spiritual concepts in order to get a story. (Also, demons.) However, I went in just to check it out because I knew PSH is a Christian who comes from a long line of Christians and she said that hell shown in the drama was based on Dante's Inferno (classical literature), and I figured with her acting status, she wouldn't have taken on a project she found offensive (and her long-standing acting reputation should have granted her respect from the PD/writer to tell her the truth about where the script was heading before she signed on.
Color me surprised when I found a drama rich with Christian symbolism. This writer knows not only classical Christian literature, but her command of biblical truths is astounding. And any divergence from traditional Christian understanding is not in conflict with it. (Example: Jusititia is a Roman goddess of a pagan religion, and any Christian would automatically believe she would be in hell.) Because of the sheer volume of religious references, I started a thread in X to help point them out.
However, while I was doing this, I started checking the drama's hashtag and I kept seeing people ask questions like "Why does she hate humans so much?" "What is she so mean?" "Why is she so dishonest?" And being social media, people responded back with "She's a demon, you idiot!" It became clear that I needed to point out not only Christian references but explain the Christian belief system as demonstrated in this drama. (I also point out points where it differs and offer a justification.) The ending result can be found up above in the discussions, which directs you to my post in X at https://x.com/SandiKT/status/1840729016401109367.
That being said, as Christians, we have to use our liberties wisely. If watching anything about demons makes you uncomfortable (it does me at times), you shouldn't watch it. However, I do want to point out that not all art featuring demons is evil, and I personally don't think demons are glorified here. I think they're made to look like idiots at times. C.S. Lewis, the author of "The Screwtape Letters," a book featured in episode 4 of this drama, points out in the book's introduction that if Satan can't be drawn out by Scripture, one should use humor and ridicule. And if looking at the drama as a whole, none of these demons are admirable in their demoness.
However, the real test of this drama will be how it ends, and at this point we have to wait to see if it offers an honorable conclusion or will go the way of other religious-based dramas and short-change itself in order to end it neatly.
