ShortCircuit

Ohsh!t our hero is no more. Truly the son of his father *sad tears*

When YJS got in that car, I knew what was going to happen. I expected him to be booted off the highway at a certain point with relevance to the backstory. We'll see if it happens in the end.

I still think SeonWoo is basically a bad guy (his reactions to his father are pretty indifferent. Also to his mother. Is he playing a double game?...)

I can't see how this ends. This ep was very slow right up until the end, and SDJ's face is already emotionless, you can't tell what he's planning any more... I hope the ending will give it justice.

Promotions starting pretty early. Does it drop all eps at the same time and that's why they're trying to build some hype? (I don't care, I'll be watching it anyway, even weekly and no promo LOL.)

Okay what's their scandal? We've already learned the pattern, LOL.

I think they're establishing that HeeSu is not only oblivious to love interests but also a little bit unaware of present situations, generally - like pouring the water back the drain that had just flooded, OMG I was second-hand embarassed for him :D

But then, it lead to (almost) play-skinship, I'll allow it. As long as he eventually gets a lightbulb moment.

I still think SeungWon gave him the juice, we've seen this ep he's recording each and every one of HeeSu's likes and acting on them :D I can see him watch HeeSu drink the juice and making sure the juice is always available :D

OMG LOL. *hanging head in shame*

In my defense... I already forgot about the carrot juice. And it COULD be taken that way. *flailing around to find more excuses* hahaha~ *sweatdrop*

Better than the previous two, less (not zero) of the hetrom, but they're in a misunderstanding phase, a lot more of HeeSu being oblivious and SeungWon being voluntold to get closer to his crush. Also, forced cohabitation (or not so forced).

It's way better. Let's see if they keep it up.

WHAT DID SHE MEAN BY SEUNGWON BEING THE CARROT?! DID SHE MEAN HE'S THE TOP/SEME/GONG?! Is there a slang I don't know LOL?

And what does it mean he's saying he's not, LOL? Because HeeSu definitely doesn't send top vibes at all. If they're both bottoms, there's going to be a problem hahaha~

MUCH better than the previous set of eps.

OMO OMO OMO is there a hint of interest FINALLY in HeeSu's eye? And he was SO proud of SeungWon like he had raised him himself, bragging shamelessly - "class president", "2nd in school" - LOL, HeeSu, you braggart :D

His sisters are all duck moms, they took SeungWon in without a blink LOL.

I'll allow SMALL pieces of het rom because she played such a good wingwoman to SeungWon :D But also....

Chaebol chairman's right-hand man thought he had it all good - he loved someone deeply and he was loved right back, he thought, his plans on ascending as far as possible in the conglomerate are bearing fruit, everything's good.

And then the betrayals start, from just a very nasty surprise to repeated and hard-core attempts on his life (did I mention repeated? We're at about the 10th on and we still have two more eps). He won't take it laying down - the problem is he doesn't really know who all the enemies are, why are they doing this to him, and how to better make them suffer the worst for all they've did and keep doing to him.

In other words... this is makjang survival thriller. Expect tropes, lots of tropes, higher-than-mountains emotional confrontation, AMAZING music (bears repeating - AWESOME music!!), PHS displaying a glorious mane and being awesome throughout, PPL out of the blue LOL, a bit of nonsense plot (this IS makjang), but overall... VERY entertaining. Give it a try for the first ep at least.

Next to WWX (who is unbeatable, up-up-up-way-up above on a level of his own), Jiang Cheng is my next favourite (in the drama at least, I like novel LWJ a bit more, but they really took their time to explore all brotherly connections in the drama). So rigid and trying so hard so self-correct to the point of pain, and always feeling inferior, poor guy. Wen Ning went for a low-blow that he knew would really connect when he called him out in the reveal scene - "you were always meant to be under him" - yup, that's our cinnamon bun not feeling like being meek at the time, LOL.

And NHS... the most fearful and basically the only one who can fight with WWX on the same level on smart planning. No drop of blood directly on him, but everything set in motion by his subtle plans. They were calling Ji Li (playing NHS) The Director, when they were filming, LOL. The cast knew what's it all about :D

Everything of this IP is recommended (the novel, the donghua, the chibi donghua, all the author's novels LOL). But the chibi donghua is always a heart healer for all the drama in the story :D

Finally, someone who also likes Jiang Cheng!! Here, sit right by me, LOL, we'll be two persons who appreciate the frustrated eye-rolling champion :D

(And let's add Nie HuaiSang, the unsung hero :D)

I like makjang and this one delivers :D

I don't really care about the flailing romance because what the character did in the first ep really poisoned that well, and also... TBH I don't mind AT ALL that they gave more space to actors who can acts their butts off LOL. When you hate the character (not for plot reasons) it only means the actors are doing a great job :) and makjang needs extreme emotions to work well.

OMG the wigs really do work LOL.

I recognised him however the dolled up, but I guess it could fool people :D

So basically Ozone :D

Because, well. Gun :D

Isn't it only people whom they love? So maybe by the time they hit 12 they were raging against the world and nobody had to die for the curse. Or maybe it was someone unrelated to them who was just kind - like some housekeeper for Night (he did change the housekeeper as soon as she came up with the cake) or somebody at the orphanage for Day.

Oh this is getting really good. I liked the way they brought the past in the story.

... Though Dream basically stalked Night into a relationship (kind of a squeamish) LOL

Don't bother with the trolls, they've been strangely hung up on the pseudo "incest" forever, no logical explanation will reach their minds. They're set on fetishizing the relationship and keep talking ONLY about that, when it's not even all the important for the drama by now.

Block them and move on, that's the best strategy with this kind.

Yes but he now has access to wigs. He's seriously confident nobody's recognising him with one of those ridiculous wigs :D

Anyone seriously into kdramas would catch the use of banmal or polite speech, LOL. (And the characters usually react to the banmal every time it's out of bounds anyway, so people should be aware when it's informal vs. formal speech.)

Yeah, it's making me crazy when they're TLing the title with the character's name, dammit. I mean, what's more funny than SeonWoo calling Chairman Cha - his father - with "harabeoji", which they TLed with "sir", a polite enough address when NOT considering this is his FATHER!! That's a polite but kind of mainly-among-strangers address the way he's using it, LOL, as he's calling him basically "grandpa". Not the formal "abeoji" (father) or more intimate "appa" (something like "daddy"). SeonWoo is amazingly cheeky (yeah I meant rude).

And the TLers are starting to do it to cdramas too, which is much more annoying especially in historical settings (they had titles that are ever so subtly different but mean completely different things that one can't ever tell from the TL, lately.)

His name for the first few years of his life was Chu SeongHyeon. Then he lost his parents (and after an accident, his memory, too) and was found by another family who named him DongJoo - the Seo was after the adoptive mother's family name.
