You're right, it is clearly an advertisement for joining the military. I think the most hilarious part is when superiors care so much about what the soldiers eat, saying it's the most important thing. As if the military is a vacation with 5-star food service.

That's why I'm rooting for the secret swap before a love confession, because I don't want to feel the secondhand embarrassment. The father wouldn't know she had a crush on him and the daughter wouldn't know she had a crush on her father. This is the most convenient scenario for all.

He lost the skills after the tie-breaker was announced, but I get your point. The game should've waited until the winner of the tie-breaker was announced. However, I think it makes sense somehow, the base would be closed at a set time regardless of his win or loss. Maybe the game was timed to have the result of the mission announced at that set time regardless of the outcome, so when it was announced that it's a tie, it needed more time for the tie-breaker, but the base had already shut down and the mission failed.
P.S. I think the voice actor is the same woman who voices Crime Scene.

I don't think they considered it a win since there is still a tie-breaker which means the team who wins the tie-breaker is the actual winner.

I'm glad they are allowing him to test his own skills. I was wondering when they are going to do that. It would be disappointing if the drama ended without us seeing that he can actually cook independently without the help of the program.

I think you might've been talking to a child. HAHA.
Ignore them, I don't even think they are from North Korea. North Koreans don't casually surf the Internet. You are right, but they may have never looked at a map before.

I don't know. You can't control your heart. It's not like if someone didn't give you a signal you just stop being interested in them like a robot. She still thinks she has a chance because she doesn't know it's her father, and she hasn't been rejected by him yet.

I think you understood my comment the opposite way so I stopped reading after "A person does not have to be good looking to swoon someone", because I said exactly the opposite, and I don't know how you got that I meant a person has to be good looking to swoon someone from my comment. I don't mean to ignore you, it's just that I think you might've misread or misunderstood my comment.

HAHA. I like how you think. Maybe, but she is an adult and I think there might be a slight sexual attraction too because of his personality and interactions with her (not just the other guy's looks), which is what is weird in her case. Not a huge deal that it could ruin her life as someone here mentioned, but definitely something that will make her feel weird for a while.

It's pronounced 'k' at the beginning of a word, and 'g' when it's in the middle, that's why when you say it alone it's kogi and when it's attached to bul- it's gogi.

To be honest, both of them have problems. He can't control his emotions, but they are both rude to each other. Who says every now and then to someone they supposedly love "Who are you?", like come on girl, that's not how you talk to a loved one, and they are trying to make it seems like a loving moment. That's a toxic behavior. Stop undermining your partner and treating him like he is nothing.

The gae at the end is for 'dog', and the 'bul' part is for 'fire', so it's 'Fire Dog', if that can help you remember. The resemblance with Bulgogi is because Bulgogi literally means 'Fire meat'. The naming of Bulgae is based on mythical dogs that are sent by their king to fetch the moon and the sun. According to the myth, the eclipses happen when a bulgae bites either the moon or the sun, meaning that the shadow part is what's in the dog's mouth, but they spit the sun because it's too hot, and they spit the moon because it's too cold. There is a nearly extinct real dog breed that is called after this mythical creature, but I'm pretty sure they didn't name the character bulgae based on the real dog breed.

Yeah, I know. I'm just preparing myself for when/if she finds out.

It's gonna be awkward though. I don't know what your definition of a healthy mindset is, but I think anyone with a healthy mindset (in my opinion) would be somewhat affected by it. It would be weird if she went "oh, well" and continued with her life like it's an everyday thing.

I really feel bad for the daughter.
Maybe the best case scenario for her would be if she never realizes that it's her father, he swaps back, and the other guy falls in love with her. I can't imagine finding out you had a crush on your father. That would be terrible.

I would say if we are doing this, there should be three categories, not two. One for historically accurate dramas that are created for educational purposes as well as entertainment, one for dramas that are based on historical figures or events but not very accurate which we usually enjoy and call historical-fiction but Koreans hate, and the purely fictional history with made-up historical events and figures. Historical, Historical-fiction, and Fictional-history

I don't know why, but I read the title as 'Notes from the Death Row' and I thought it was about Choi Min Shik writing letters from prison while on death row, and I got so excited because I love letter dramas/movies. Netflix if you are listening, please make this movie.

Everything is getting revealed and I'm so excited. I bet Bulgae is getting his memory back in the next episode, and the wife is finally finding out. YAY! I can't wait!

It's my first time appreciating the music of a drama, and I'm not talking about songs, because there are many dramas with good (vocal) OSTs. I'm talking about the music that accompanies each fight or comedic scene which are not necessarily composed specifically for the drama, like the music in the snow falling scene. I really loved those.

It was hilarious, but I was waiting for someone to lie down and make a 'snow angel'. I thought it was a missed opportunity.
