I'm glad to see she got over her Attorney U acting. There was still a little bit of it in the first few scenes of E01, but that was it. She studied her role as an autistic so well, that acting got into her next project (and the probably didn't notice it).
This is why she's a top-rated actor, she can take on any role. Psychokiller is the hardest to act, it can get into you if you're not careful. Which, no doubt, she's aware of since she's a psychology graduate.
I'm wondering if she's a genius IRL. I mean, she's one of the few actors I've seen who acted a very good psychokiller. Other actors who tried it were either underwhelming or obviously trying hard. If you're a genius IRL, you have an experience, at least countless of private thoughts.
that's not ex gf .. i think it's her family member(cousin or younger sister) (her family has a special super power…
Ahh! I thought it was her ex-gf.
Yeah, it makes more sense if she's a family member. Abilities often runs in the family bloodline.
Re: pain, it just appeared that this new character is experiencing far more pain than 1FL. Maybe it was just their acting, especially since 1FL is a new actor (but she's doing great for her role!)
If it doesn't, then the Baeksang means nothing anymore.
But that is only if they will submit their show. These awards, you have to pay to nomitate a show, and pay for each actor to nominate them.
They also watch the competiton. If the competition is tough or too many, they avoid nominating. They can nominate in another awards body or wait for next year.
It all comes down to the production and producers if they're willing to pay for nomination. And of course, if you'll nominate a show or an actor, they come hand-in-hand. It is rare today to only see a nomination of the show but not its casts, or vice versa. (They get discounts if they nominate everyone and in multiple categories. 😝)
Award bodies & events have been that way since the mid-1990s. Pay to nominate. It turned into a multi-million dollar business. (Even in books!) Gone are the days when they actually consider all works and actors for a given year.
They showed IU acting as both mother and daughter, they could have also did the same for Park Bo Gum instead of…
Making guys look younger or playing both young, old, or another character, seems to be going out the window. Look at the show My Dear Nemesis, only the FL played the young and old versions of her character.
It seems that the trend in Korea today is no longer let guys play young and old; or young parent + teenager child of that parent. But for women, it still is fine to do so, like IU in this show and other shows.
Other possible reasons for this casting change: 2. Train and expose the next generation of actors. Which is good. If they don't get experience, the next generation won't be as good. I actually want them to stop it with women too, give the next generation actresses more exposure and experience.
3. The guys are too matured, it won't be easy to make them look younger (or older). Or, weird if they play both the parent and the child of that parent. But if you look at women, there are so many ways to do it through make up, hair styles, and so on.
4. The guys were not interested.
5. Maybe during audition, they didn't pass so the casting director had to make a decision to cast another actor. It happens. Often originally the wanted to cast the same actor. But the actor they've chosen just doesn't fit the other character or a different time period.
This hits a bit too close to home for me since I have such parents, who were poor and did everything to bring…
The time between 1950 to 1980 was a period where it doesn't matter how many children you have. For them, it's a blessing. Also, birth control was frowned upon and taboo.
Skip, I am still waiting for my fav celeb. It still doesn't take away from the charm of the story if you ask me.
Exactly what I'm saying. This show is a missed opportunity for many because once they are in a similar situation, they wouldn't remember any of it because they selectively watched scenes instead of watching the episodes in its entirety.
Skip, I am still waiting for my fav celeb. It still doesn't take away from the charm of the story if you ask me.
It's good if you see the charm of the story, it means you're still paying attention. 😉 It's just that there those who selectively watch the specific scenes only. They fast-forward everything else.
Nothing wrong with it. However, the missed lessons are useful later in life. I'm GenXennial, and I myself am wishing we had these type of shows back in the 80s and 90s so we know how to face the world.
For example, that episode "Life goes on and on". Sure, we often heard that but it didn't made an impact. But through this series, the right episode to tell that "Life goes on and on", it was impactful. It's "damn, I wish it was explained that way to us when we were young" or "I wish I had a mentor who knows how to tell impactful stories".
Sooner or later, we'll all face some of the circumstances in this story. Even if we didn't appreciate it at first, once we're in the same or similar situation, we'll remember the stories we've read and watched. It's better than grasping to understand things, because we tend not to listen to people when we're depressed and angry; and once we're alone it's the things like books and tv/movies that we remember and "listen to" (even though that's what the people around us kept saying in the first place).
Again, nothing wrong with selecting scenes of fave celebs, but it's a wasted opportunity to pick up something. Our brain can store a lot of things, and can remember it once we need it. 😉
People simply waiting for the appearance of their fave celebs are missing the life lessons from this story. Life lessons they will one day need themselves. 🤷🏽
Having feelings only applies to death.The rest of the rules can result in minor accidents. But they retconned…
But wasn't there a guy who got into an accident just because he was in her radius? It was the guy above their room, and IIRC, he didn't even know her.
Also, I understood the food poisoning incident, not everyone in her class had a crush on her iet they still got affected but not their female classmates.
Did I misunderstand those scenes? Hmm… will have to re-watch.
Having feelings only applies to death.The rest of the rules can result in minor accidents. But they retconned…
In E09 and E10, the 2ML established that one only gets into an accident if they have feelings for the cursed person. That it is a prerequisite.
However in E01 to E08, we know there were people who got into accidents simply because they were withing 10 meters with the cursed, and stayed 10 minutes within the 10 meter radius. Some even had conversations, but they don't have feelings for her.
They retconned that to explain how the 1FL can ride the metro train without anyone getting into accidents. Or, how the 2ML can stay close with women in the station.
By E09 and E10, everyone who had accidents around 1FL and 2ML who had no feelings for them, were dismissed as coincidences.
Oh thank you for the explanation ^^ Didn't have to bother looking it up.Side Note: I once asked a Korean teacher…
1. Yep! But you know, colonials. 😅 They were the only "civilized people" and everyone else are beneath them or barbarians.
2. If only, it'll be easier. But the Commission on the Filipino Language and the Department of Education are led by people with no interest in actually improving our languages.
We could've been writing "lalakie" to express the actual pronunciation clearly instead of telling everyone "lalaki" is the correct way of writing it; and the pronunciation is somewhere between "i" and "e".
They even dropped the use of diacritics around mid to late 90s. Then sometime near 2010s, they brought it back partially. 😅 They can't make up their minds. I asked my nieces about it and they told me their teacher don't even teach diacritics.
I guess that's expected because their teachers are from the generation when it was dropped, they likely don't understand it themselves. I was in Grade 8/9 when it was dropped, and I don't remember the rules myself. 🤣

Yes, code-switching is naturally switching between two (or more) languages and/or dialects. While code-mixing is using the rules of one language while mixing in words from another language, making the sentence sometimes awkward to hear.
True, code-mixing is far more common in multilingual cultures. Code-switching, while also exists in other multilingual cultures, they are more able to control it than us Filipinos. 🤣 And in dramas and films, they rarely don't code-switch; but Philippine script writers do it a lot.
Actually, script writers can write with less code-switching and code-mixing. We had dramas and films like that.
Hmm… try the movie "100 Poems for Stella" (native: 100 Tula para kay Stella" (100 is read as "isang-daang)). If I remember correctly, it's mostly Filipino. There are still a few code-mixing and code-switching but not as many compared to TV dramas.
True, it's an advantage. Many Filipinos self-learned Japanese and Korean, both written and spoken. But few are aware there are certifications so they can use it for work. 🤣
My lil brother can speak Hebrew, Greek, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Korean, Japanese, Bahasa Malaysia.
Two of our cousins can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Korean, Japansese. One of them can steak German. While one of them speaks various local languages and dialects too.
And that's not counting our uncles, aunts, grandparents, and 2nd degree relatives.
I don't know why but we enjoy learning other languages and cultures. My sister had a formal Korean studies after she got married. I wasn't even aware of it and I didn't think of her doing that. 😅
Yes, being multilingual is a good thing. The way our brain works is altered because we do language gymnastics daily. 🤣
It also changes the way we think. There are studies about it where they found that our thought processes change depending on which language we use.
idk what made Jun no to recruit him just like that! even though he hesitated a bit after interviewing him.
Ahh! Yes! The Auditors. True, the ML here is more a human. In The Auditors, the ML there was far too strict and mean, he'll bulldoze anyone to get results. 😅
Barely knows her stalker and falls in love with him, not even liking but straight up in love with him and breaks…
She knew him since they were in school. She knew who requested the shed. She knew he kept looking at her. She knew this and that. She even recognized him immediately during the bus/bridge scene. That's how memorable he is to her.

It was only around 1990s when things changed.
Or, wait. She did not time travel, was it red to symbolize blood and life? She gave a portion of her life to 1FL so she won't die?
