I don't think people are "forgiving" exactly, rather more "sympathetic" to his childhood and circumstances - If…
I personally didn't really see any comments forgiving him because he's "hot and charming".
My comment about the vet was a comparison between the two - Lee Rang and the Vet - at the time they First killed. The first time the vet killed people, he was immediately forgiven and thus given a second chance to change his ways and not kill again. Whereas the first time Lee Rang killed people, he was sliced by his beloved brother and left for dead, he wasn't given a second chance like the vet, instead he was caught up with an evil human who only saved his life so he could use him in the future. As for the 600yrs after that the vet was shaped by his relationship with Lee Yeon, and Lee Rang was shaped by his relationship with the slave/TV company president plus lack of communication and lack of sympathy from his own brother.
So yeah I do feel sympathetic for Lee Rang, we saw him as a child innocent and gentle, even though he was despised by his own mother, and abused repeatedly by the villagers. So there is no doubt that if he was given a second chance or treated with a tiny bit of gentleness by Lee Yeon he would not have turned out the way he did.
I personally don't forgive him, you grow up and make your own choices, but I do understand that sometimes your circumstances limit the choices you can make.
Am I the only one who thinks people are too forgiving of Rang? I mean people have outright hated second female…
I don't think people are "forgiving" exactly, rather more "sympathetic" to his childhood and circumstances - If you think about it, the villagers he killed in the past weren't exactly what you would call "innocent", and in that regard the vet also killed people in the past but he was forgiven immediately by Lee Yeon, whereas Lee Rang was almost killed by his brother, after which he was bound to serve and pay his debt to the slave/TV company president who had an extremely twisted personality for 600+yrs. He did repeatedly hurt his brother, but again he thought the person he cherished most tried to kill him, and Lee Yeon never bothered to correct him, it seemed like he was literally waiting for Lee Rang to figure out on his own that his brothers' sword never misses... So yeah sympathetic but not entirely forgiving.
Plus the story isn't over, he'll definitely redeem himself by the end, most likely with his life.
I know it might be hard to compare cuz this series hasnt finished yet, but in terms of romance, which is better-…
The romantic storylines for the main couples in both are about the same in my opinion, meaning the dynamics for the 2nd couple in both are way better, again in my opinion.
Is good? I want to watch it for Kim Bum but it seems that the main leads fall in love very fast.
If you wanna watch for Kim Bum then you should definitely watch it! I didn't know him and he stole the show for me, every single scene he's in is so precious!!
This is my first time watching Kim Bum, and every new episode I find myself thinking again "This little fox stole the show" he embodied the wounded and damaged little brother perfectly! No doubt about (*/▽＼*)
His wife seemed to want a life of luxury from the get go, her first real interaction with her lover - Seo Do Gyun…
Also, I was kinda hoping they would have switched it up a bit - Like have us thinking from the start that Seo Do Gyun had something to do with it, but turns out he's just clueless as hell and the wife played him too... Plot turned out very "Gone Girl'esk".
His wife seemed to want a life of luxury from the get go, her first real interaction with her lover - Seo Do Gyun - She asked him "You believed that? Do I look like I could be from this rich neighborhood?" And enjoyed the fact that he didn't doubt it for a second, and him telling her she belongs there.
I wanna see just why in the hell she would end up faking her daughters MURDER - Did they really cut of her finger? Who's finger is it? I mean come on DNA? - And then her own suicide, and they try and destroy him with those fake claims of using "illegal materials in the playground" and having him painted as a culprit for a child's death? THE HELL WOMAN? Divorce him maybe? I am confusion right now (¯ . ¯;)
And how hard is it to fire a Sulky faced personal assistant and a secretary that was willing to throw you under…
Both the personal assistant and secretary seem to have a direct connection to the chairman himself, so I don't think firing one or the other would be easy for him especially since he found out about them being suspicious as hell, After he *believed* his child was murdered and wife committed suicide, and he was investigated for a suspicion of using illegal materials... People would probably think he'd gone insane from losing his family or he's corrupt and trying to hide it...
This season was pretty good as a stand alone or an AU, though...
The relationship build up seemed solid and meaningful, mainly for Haruta and Naruse, literally for 8 out of 8 episodes. Haruta, Hina and Shino did have history together but throughout the episodes it seemed like their plot lines weren't really going anywhere (from the perspective of their relationship with Haruta), until you thought it was going somewhere for Shino in ep. 6 but that also came to a screeching halt. But still those scenes between Naruse and Shino were too freaking adorable for me not to 'kuu' at the screen, especially that last one. I also think poor Kurosawa deserved a happy ending, but it came out of nowhere...
Thank you for the answers. I wonder why they don't use honorifics towards each other despite not being that close.…
Might be because even though they aren't close enough to be friends yet and call each other by their first names, they've still been acquaintances for a while, since they're both around the same age and joined the company at the same time...
After watching episode 7, I was a bit curious. I know KDJ was one of the officials before but no she is a mere…
If it was a simple search and rescue I believe they would depending on their knowledge of the person and their background (they would have obviously checked that she's telling the truth about her military background first and not just take her word for it). But in the situation they were in, where they just found out there might be another dangerous target on the loose, plus the location - The DMZ - I don't think any military captain/commander would risk taking a civilian with them, the consequences if something happened to her would be basically the equivalent of their head on a plate. Also, they didn't hand her a gun which is more believable than taking her with them.
I'm hoping all the team members comes together to kick ass from here to space, and end it with a scene of them eating and chatting in Yong Dong Jin's moms' restaurant. Shawarma would be a good meal to share, Lol!
It's odd, it's like the writers didn't leave any room for us the viewers to think, question or make assumptions about who the female lead will end up with, her ex-husband obviously.
Their just spoon feeding us from the first episode. Her relationship with her husband seems so superficial, it's like they have no memories together, and their backstory has no substance. The writers just forgot to write or literally took out any chemistry or romance between the female lead and her current husband, and it's clearly the writing because both actors are unmistakably good at what they do.
It's so beyond disappointing, because neither ending nor the lead up to it are going to be compelling or surprising. Had real high hopes because I absolutely adore Yoo In Na.
