I love Lexi's strategy. The best. She knew how she's going to play from the very start. Too bad, she didn't win the last match. But still, it was the best strategy in this episode.
Well. I guess that's it. Hopefully there will be Season 2 this 2023, with the same production quality but in the Philippines. I hope GMA, and other local productions, can learn from this. From using multiple cameras, providing monopods for the celebrities, and not being 'kuripot' with editing and special effects budget. This is what we need to revitalise the local entertainment industry, especially in the variety show space.
Once we learn from this, then we can add our “Filipino touch”. For now, not just GMA, other productions too, let's stick with the Korean style of production and editing. There's no shame in learning from others. Our neighbours once learned from us when we were the leaders in Asia-Pacific, it's our turn to learn from them.
I am hopeful for the Philippine entertainment industry as a whole. It's More Fun In The Philippines, after all. Mabuhay! Shalom!
Comment #15,000: Episode 3 and 4 were straightforward. Nothing to discuss. LOL.
Also, episode 4 was practically a fan service.
Noticed how in episode 3 they avoided showing scenes from Part 1 when Jang Uk recalled their yinyang promise?
Then in episode 4, they showed a lot of the memorable scenes from Part 1.
A very good decision to do it that way. I also think it was crucial that episodes 3 and 4 were aired in one week, so they probably had to gamble there won't be any delays. If episode 4 was delayed, it wouldn't be the same.
There are some fans saying that this drama is based on actual true events of Samsung's company CEO ,, they say…
I'm from the Philippines, and I admit that there are so many easter eggs in the entire series. If you are familiar with Korean companies back in the 90s and early 2000s, and the news about them, you'll notice a lot of similarities.
So, I'm not surprised that they recognise the similarities and easter eggs, since they know more about their own country's real life histories than any other.
10 years? She turned pathetic just because they dated for 10 years? LOL.I and my ex-gf dated for 15 years, and…
> They have been dating for 10 years, not broken up 10 years ago LOL.
Yeah. It was 2 years. The translation I watched was confusing. I even “rewinded” those parts to be sure.
Then by episode13, IIRC, it's 2 years.
> To be honest, there is no good reason for the ML to break up with her.
He doesn't want to see her because every time he sees her, he is reminded of his brother's death.
> His brother's death in the end has nothing to do with the ring.
The cause of that death was because of the ring, when he asked his brother to bring it, so he can propose. As he said so himself, if he did not forget to bring the ring, he wouldn't have told his brother to bring it.
> even when he has no reason to feel guilty in the first place.
So, yes, there is something he feels guilty about.
> He never told her the "reason"
For a good reason.
1. He doesn't want her to be burdened by it.
2. If he tells her, she would probably just reply, “so you are blaming me for your brother's death?” When that is not what he meant. And as shown when she confronted him, she just proved he made a good decision of not telling her.
3. They are not yet married. It is his burden to bear. It is a family burden.
4. With #3, it isn't appropriate to bring in a new member into the family (especially in Korean culture) with a burden they're carrying. Especially since the case was not yet closed, and they haven't moved on.
5. With #4, him and his family having not moved on yet, it will only affect their marriage. Especially when, every time he sees her, he is reminded why he asked his brother to bring the ring – which is #1.
> Imagine dating someone for 10 years, weddings all planned, then someone in his/her family died, and BAM, the wedding is off, and you are dumped. How would you feel?
I will feel bad and hurt. But I wouldn't force myself to them. And well, they haven't planned their wedding yet, he was only about to propose.
> The ML now found new love, though I cannot understand why he just brushed off his 10 year relationship for the new love.
There just is no way. Every time he sees her, he is just reminded of the very thing that led to the accident – the proposal ring he forgot to bring.
And well, he fully understands what kind of family she has. It was fine before the accident. He can tolerate her mother and her being a queen/royalty (as her own mother admitted), as they say, “love is blind”. We tend to ignore these things.
But after the accident, after the ring. “Love is blind” can no longer control him. He just had enough. He is mourning. He is self-blaming. He can not take anymore, especially not a person who was brought up like a queen/royalty, who is possessive and obsessed with taking what she wants. And he also doesn't have time nor energy dealing with her mother.
> Chung Ha didn't deserve this at all.
Of course, she doesn't deserve it. No one deserves a break-up with no explanation offered. My 15-year relationship ended like that. No explanation, just poof, done.
Whatever her reasons were, I can only assume. If one day she tells me, then good. But, we're done. There's no coming back.
Just like in Chung Ha and Tae Hee's case. They're done, reason or not, they're done. 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, 25 years, they're done.
There are previous relationships worth restarting. However, there are also relationships not worth at all. My 15-year relationship that my ex ended and left me hanging, is one such. It's not worth restarting even if she's the one who kneels and beg me. We're done. I can be her friend, Just like Il Sub to his ex. But that's how far I'll go.
And I noticed, there were translations that did not make any sense.
In the earlier episodes, they had a relationship for 10 years. And they broke up for 10 years already.
Then later, in ep13, IIRC, they only broke up for 2 years because their break-up was after his younger brother died. I even "rewinded" just to double check.
10 years? She turned pathetic just because they dated for 10 years? LOL.I and my ex-gf dated for 15 years, and…
> I already said this before but imagine if this dynamic were genderflipped and a guy was doing that to a woman
Exactly! If this was in reverse, it's harassment and stalking, and everything else. So Chung Ha acting that way is so way out of line already.
Not only that, they broke up 10 years ago, and she's still clinging to him. I would have sympathised with her if it was only a few months to, maybe 3 years. But 10 years?
I've been there too (my high school sweetheart), I can not move on for ten years. Eventually, 11 years later, we had a second closure (turned out she also had a hard time moving on). But neither of us stalked each other, or forced ourselves in each other's lives, or showing up in each other's homes.
Chung Ha's possessive and obsessive. A very dangerous combination. A person who is only possessive, or obsessive, are also dangerous, but Chung Ha is both. Scary. Super scary.
And you know, Tae Hee not telling her the real reason is already giving her a favour. I just started on Episode 10, so I'm just guessing, Chung Ha will be devastated if she learns the real reason; and she will probably say, "And now you are blaming me for your his death?" And she'll leave, acting the "winner".
Late in the game, I'm only at Episode 9. Chung Ha is pathetic!
10 years? She turned pathetic just because they dated for 10 years? LOL.
I and my ex-gf dated for 15 years, and she broke up with me. She moved on after a few months. I moved on after a few months too (a little longer than she did).
And Chung Ha can not get over him?
Not only that, is she insensitive or just plain dumb? There are multiple huge signs right in front of her face saying, “GET THE F* OUT OF MY LIFE!!!”
In real life, Chung Ha would have gotten a retraining order already.

Clearly Jae Hun is not the real grandson. The resemblance could be a funny coincidence by fate, or maybe he's…
I'm hoping for that because I want him and Se Yun to be together. Haha. I don't want a surprise twist at this point.
He still can be a cousin. He's probably the long-lost son the father never told anyone. Hahahahaha.
Or, the father had a fling with someone, who later escaped to the South, and gave birth in the South, and that kid was given for adoption after birth (or left at someone else's door), and became an actor later.
Or, the babies were switched accidentally because of the chaos during the Korean War. The grandfather had no idea the son he brought up was not his real son. His real son ended up in the South later, had a son, and that son grew up to be an actor.
Anything to drop us a bomb why he looks like the grandfather; and the “real” grandson doesn't have any resemblance.
Probably it's the second scenario above, since the “real” grandson had a real DNA test and it matched. ROFL.
But, whatever it can be, I hope they don't do any lineage twist. Silly at this point of the story.

Also, that actor for the kidnapper, did he not appear for similar roles before?
I'm not a fan of Subway, at least here in the Philippines, there are better options. But as far as PPLs are concerned, Kopiko so far have the worst.
That pretty much sums it all up.

:p
Not only that, there were times when the support actors are the ones attracting viewers than the main actors.
And there are actors who actually do that to “pass on the torch” or to help their fellow actors.
It's not bad to be in support. I'd even say it speaks volume on the kind of celebrity they are.
