Anyone ever wonder that DongJu MIGHT end up with Dr Kang?
Sadly, it's true love based on the first ep, he'll go stupid and return to the FL. But yeah, I'm projecting as hard as I can hoping that the producers grew a brain and made the switch.
Still. This IS a thriller makjang. Who's taking bets that the doctor too is going to go after the info in his head, and not in a romantic manner, LOL?
I just watched the 1st episode and ML and FL seemed quite closeBased on the tag revenge thriller and all, is it…
In the beginning it was pure, dumb, true love (on his part at least). He didn't even know her actual identity and she never shared. Her plans didn't seem to include him in any way (not even enough to let him know she's going to marry someone else).
Now though... he thinks she didn't even come to run away with him (she did), and he remembers the betrayal, the bullets and the torture. All bets are off.
If the story is set in the 60s and they're already young adults (around 20, say) then they were born at least at the beginning or middle of the 40s. Say they have their own children at around 25 or so, those children are about to turn 60 in our days. That's a whole another generation (loosely around 20-25 years in spread IIRC).
So if the charas were young adults in the 60s, that would be our grandparents' generation at most. I DID just see a pic of 6 generations in just one image on reddit, though, with the oldest woman being around 80+ and the latest member - her great-great-great-granddaughter - being around a week old. They were all having kids very very early, so it is possible, just (hopefully) not that common.
Anyway, someone said they put in the year in each ep (which I didn't know 'cause I'm not watching it, given I don't really like period dramas set in the 50-70s range) so that's moot already.
What made me wonder, though, was the synopsis that said it was about our parents' generation, and it's so far back I really had to take a guess which generation that was.
I got three quarters through the first ep, I can't go on, this is the Temu version of Reset. They're not even trying. Even the Pachelbel canon is playing (with very minor variations). How on Earth did this get through c/right checks? (I'm assuming they're enforcing it when it's their own works at least).
For those wondering if it's as good as Reset, no, it's not, it's just a pale copy by mid-first ep and I am not inclined to give it more time than I already did. Hard pass.
Watched ATEEZ, EXO, GOT7, NCT127, SEVENTEEN... and that's about it. Started because of ATEEZ (was a fan before anyway), EXO got recommended (Chen's vocals are CRAZY!!! and TBH, all 7 of them who were on KV were amazing), the rest didn't impress me much *sad sigh*.
I guess it's a slowly acquired taste, kpop, that is...
ETA And now Roy Kim and Rain (because why not) and Mamamoo. I only knew Rain as an actor, wow, he can hit those high notes too.
Loved todays episode. We've got some improvements here and finally no memory loss.But it would not be a k-drama…
It's not clear yet what's the relationship between SDJ/SH and the secretary lady. Both her and EunNam's mother - I forget her name, Mrs. Cha something - know SH and are certain that child is dead. So they either 1. had a part in getting rid of the child, whoever he is or 2. one of them is his real mother. I do NOT think the secretary is his mother, her reaction is way too understated for it to be true IMHO. And Mrs. Cha is not his mother either, 'cause she'd be going apesh!t crazy right now about it, given EunNam was his lover for a year.
Maybe the chairman did have some secret lover all those years ago, and maybe that woman also died (in the accident where SH was lost, or in some other way), other than the current secret son's mother LOL.
What if he turns out to be the first son of Heo Il-Do? That would be a true twist, LOL. It would give Mrs. Cha a reason to get rid of him, too.
hey, I can only watch one drama at a time... tell me, which one should I watch? buried hearts or undercover high-school?
BH is a makjang thriller - great visuals, lots of violence, not a lot of comedy, lots of chaebol tropes. UHS is more of a romcom, don't think too much of the specifics of the NIS game, plenty of eyecandy too, some bullying.
Both suffer from stupid FL syndrome, sadly. UHS is shorter though (by mid-drama, she didn't evolve one bit, just as silly as in the beginning. It turns out it's not a acquired taste for me, I'm only still watching because of SKJ.)
To me, not to get a dig in at the UHS watchers (I'm watching it myself), that one's more of a dumb fun drama. This one isn't a masterpiece either BUT it deals with more mature plots (and lots of violence, bears repeating.)
If I were aware of both their merits and demerits before starting, I'd pick BH. But I can watch multiple dramas at the same time, LOL, so I don't really have to choose. Considering your pf name, LOL, and your stated preferences... I'd say go with BH. In the end it'll be a match between glorious MLs hahaha~, for me, PHS wins (though I won't give up SKJ either.)
Lovers not communicating. Truck of doom. Childhood trauma. Secret revenge plan. Goons being goons. Everybody in the chaebol family is playing stupid games. Presumed heir-to-be is not the one who wants to inherit, therefore more stupid but deadly games. Corruption all over the place. The secret child (children?) of the top males of the family (over multiple generations, LOL). Amnesia plot.
PPL, too, LOL, but that's a given for any kdrama.
Shall I go on?
ETA Be warned that for a thriller, this a VERY makjang thriller. I wanted a good makjang lately, though, and this is filling all expectations and then some. Just don't go in expecting a clear-cut thriller.
The white truck just brought back the trauma I just got over. Back to being scared each time someone is ready…
This would be the only ML who has an on/off memory button switched by trauma, LOL. Every time he sees something really shocking, he'll lose his memories. I wonder why he didn't when he saw her get married, LOL. Maybe he was shocked... alright, not that shocked, as the meme goes :D
