Episode 9 is so touching because you see the depth of his love for her. Now I wish the English title is still Hidden Love because it carried much more weight and is more fitting.
The actings are so natural. Everyone has their own stories. I like the contrast of how things changed from hate to love and from love to hate. It happens simultaneously and makes both situations more memorable. The color black and white was used to highlight the contrast.
The scene on the rooftop is very well done and powerful. 2nd FL's acting deserves all the praises. You can feel all the deepest emotions, it's a great scene.
We finally see the umbrella scene, I'm supposed to feel heartbroken here but I'm not...at least for now. I know they'll get over this fast so I'm not worried.
Overall, another great episode.
‐---------------------------------
BTS clip, everyone is happy, laughing and dancing:
Did I miss something? When are the new episodes airing?
Episode 9 just aired. Tomorrow will be episode 10. Then 11 on Saturday, 12 on Sunday. Then next Thursday episode 13, Friday episode 14 and Saturday episode 15 & 16.
The promotional interview of the couple was released today.
They started out with a mini basket ball game. She got one ball in right away. He protested that she must have been secretly practicing. Definitely secretly practicing. Then the next 2 balls are out, he said it doesn't matter, at least she had 3 points. She said she used up all her luck.
He wanted to try and he got 3 points. She kept saying you can't put anymore in :) but he put another one in and she said I lost. No need to play anymore. He scored 6 points, I scored 3 points. He punished her with a light flick.
The next game is trying to get the hook out from the maze without touching anything. Everyone got 3 chances. She tried but failed, she said it's difficult, her hand is not steady enough. He tried and couldn't do it either. Both are defeated and admitted that it's not an easy game. He said he's so mad. She said she's been drinking too much coffee lately. He said me too. We all drink 6 or7 cups a day. He tried again, she said he won't win. Coffee drinkers shouldn't play, take it away. We all lost.
They did the hand gestures dance. Then the host said that was just warming up. It's time for the staring challenge. He wants to know what counts as a loss and what is the punishment. The punishment is to take 5 cute photos. She's super confident about this game and thinks she had advantage. But she was pouting her lips and laughed first so she lost. She demanded that he participated in the punishment so he said he'll hold up the little fox for her.
The next part is introducing each other's role. She whispered what role do you play? They whispered playfully. She said he's good looking. He added that Qi Dong is calm, stable. She said he's a very very attractive man. Then she whispered to him about her character :" beauty and brain, gentle, generous" He just repeated after her :) Smart, down to earth, all praises.
She talked about his characters, he's good looking, has many great qualities. He also has it in real life. He has a good heart but is not good at expressing himself. In the drama, he's very capable. She said they're both Capricorns. They are both serious about their work and are both hard working. He left a deep impression on her.
He said she's similar to her character. She's very generous, that's his first impression. She's not petty and is very strong.
She talked about how their characters' feelings are building up slowly.
The host asked them if anything makes their hearts beat faster. She said they read the script and both felt deeply touched by the scene in episode 8. She felt moved watching the scene yesterday. He was touched when she shaved him. Because it's not an intimate scene but both were moved by it. That ambiguous feelings...there's no way to express it.
She thinks they're capable of playing many roles including villains or comedy for the next projects.
There are some possible spoilers regarding the ending ahead, if you don't want to see them, stop reading and don't click on the link :) .
OMG...I just saw the ending we've been waiting for??? I'm a little confused because in that scene, they wore the same or similar clothes for a camping scene that's supposed to be in episode 11. Her hair was different in the 2 scenes but his clothes are the same . Their clothes really confused me so now I don't know if that was the ending or not...hehe. The only thing I can think of is all those scenes were filmed on the same day. Anyway, I was really excited when I first saw it, hopefully it's the real ending. While watching that scene, I just realized his clothes are almost he same the first time they met.
*** Update : I still don't know if that scene is the ending or not but I know the scene when he was carrying her on his back will be in episode 11. He's wearing the same clothes.
I'm so happy and excited to share this wrap up special with you. This is a mega BTS clip almost 10 minutes long. This was released on April 15, 2004, more than one year ago when the drama finished filming.
There are many special scenes...the most special one is at 7:15 minute mark. I guessed the correct location too :)
* Another special scene is the kiss scene in the fire at 1:04 mark. He said fire is everywhere, he felt like he's in hell. This scene can also be the ending scene or maybe it'll be in the episode near the end because of what they're wearing. If that's true then it'll be chaotic till the end. Either way, I'm happy to see that scene too.
* At 1:40 mark, he said the contact lenses he wore are so blurry, he can hardly see anything.
* At 3 minutes, FL was having trouble on the boat because of the swell. It was really difficult for her. That day the wind was really strong, she had terrible seasick. She had to go to the hospital for IV drips afterwards. All the water scenes are really tough, they had to film in an outdoor pool. The couple had to wear 30 lbs weight so they can stay under water. It's her first time filming underwater scene and she had fevers for days afterwards and needed IV drips to recover. It's much harder than it looks.
* At 5:02 mark, there's a hug of encouragement between the main couple. They seem to have a great relationship in real life.
* At 5:09, another fire scene, it could be in episode 10.
* At 6:05 mark is the camping scene in episode 11.
* Cute group picture at 9:10. The main couple looks especially close in real life.
Overall, it shows how hard everyone worked behind the scene. They all did a great job.
The English name for the drama used to be Hidden Love...I don't know why they changed to this weird one now. Maybe because the other "Hidden Love" drama was too popular so they had to change it to avoid confusion. I still prefer the old name. Another name I've seen attached to this drama is Fictitious Love. I don't know if that's any better.
I am pleasantly surprised by this show. It is really, really good. This is my first time watching the ML, and…
ML's acting in this drama is much more controlled than his last drama. He's still pretty new so he's been improving quite a bit. He's so intense at times but as he's falling in love, he becomes so cute. I really enjoyed watching this side of him...hehe.
Episode 7 & 8 are really good. It's about the progress of love.
At first, you're trying to hold back, not sure how to express yourself. You're frustrated at all the obstacles then it's an outburst of expression. When the other person is in danger, you can no longer hide it.
The song COUNTERPOINT at the end of episode 7 is perfect timing.
"The darkness is gazing It went through fragile and false faces My soul is dyed with Filthy and scruffy sorrow
The sinful desire is getting bigger It broke the skin of infatuation You left in panic It recorded the unforgivable lie
Find the counterpoint between true love and insincerity The disguise of repenting the malice is repelled By telling right from wrong, my sorrow Is shattered like the stars
The sparkling tears Who are you crying for?

"The counterpoint between true love and insincerity lies in the depth and authenticity of connection versus shallow, manipulative behavior. True love involves genuine emotional connection, trust, and vulnerability, while insincerity is characterized by dishonesty, pretense, and a lack of true emotional investment.
The phrase "It broke the skin of infatuation" suggests a transition from the initial, intense, and often superficial state of being infatuated to a more grounded, deeper, and potentially more realistic connection with another person. This could be the beginning of a more meaningful and lasting relationship. "
More on episode 8: Happiness is being in the present of the person you like. The sense of joy is apparent.
I kept on smiling watching this episode. They have great chemistry. I like FL's personality. She's so open and honest with her feelings.
The song SOMEONE LIKE YOU was playing during their cute scene. His acting during this scene is very real, you can feel so much emotions.
" The future rises and falls The past, no matter what Was filled with storms and sunshine But every scene painted happiness
About me About you About holding on Love is always a blessing
Luck sometimes shines Romance still surrounds us A beautiful, happy sign Sadness Fades in a moment
Someone like you When I realized I'd become Someone like you You're my one and only
Even if life resets again I'm at peace as long as you're here Someone like you Holding your hand, I become Someone like you
Trading forever, by your side Leaving tears in the past Letting happiness stretch on forever
Someone like you When I realized I'd become Someone like you
Trading forever, by your side Leaving tears in the past Letting happiness stretch on forever"
The scheduling for this drama is getting to the painful part. No new episode for the next 2 days then only 4 episodes in the next 4 days afterwards. Then 3 days with no new episode again before getting closer to the end. The wait will be painful.
It's so funny when she's pretending to lower his pants...hehe. Yeah, I love that scene too. He's trying hard to hold his breath the whole time when she's wiping his body.
Short clip for those who needs to see it asap...hehe...
There are some attractions but at this point (episode 3), they're both having some ulterior motives towards each…
You're welcome. Enjoy the drama. It's getting better and better. I'm on episode 8 now and romantic scenes are coming soon. I think the first kiss will be in episode 9-10.
It feels really good to have more people like you....Thanku❤️
You're welcome. I enjoyed watching all the BTS clips and wanted to share as much as I can now. I can only be here until episode 10. I'm traveling to Central Asia so I don't know if I'll have fast internet access there. I'll try to check in as much as possible.
This BTS is in episode 3, he looks so cool in the drama but behind the scene it's not so easy, he couldn't eat the meat because it's too chewy. He had to spit it out.
The actings are so natural. Everyone has their own stories. I like the contrast of how things changed from hate to love and from love to hate. It happens simultaneously and makes both situations more memorable. The color black and white was used to highlight the contrast.
