Does anyone know the meaning behind Waikiki? I feel it's like one of those non-Asian words or phrases that for some reason gained a new spin in East Asia (like ta bon in Hit the Top or Andromeda in basically anything where a place of origin for an alien-behaving individual is needed). Was there a famous ad for a Hawaiian resort where everyone is always happy or something? I remember that awful manager in Miss Korea was using 'Waikiki' as 'cheese' to make his subordinates smile. And maybe some other drama.
I typically don't do war movies, but this is a must-see. Švejk à la japonaise. Grim, unexpectedly hilarious and deeply humane. A stream of sardonical gags in the last days of WW2 in Japan, post Okinawa, Iwo Jima and nuclear bombings. A corpus of malnourished and malequiped cadets is prematurely released for their first and last, suicidal mission. A boy aged precisely as a difference between estimated lifespan in the 1940s and in the 60s is one of them. He encounters various people, falls in love, questions things and tries to carry out his mission as the movie explores the state of the indoctrinated, rebelling mind in decadent times. Witty, frantic editing. Favourite bits: broken record & theatre-like blessing from the parents (she squeezed the tear and at the same time she squeezed a pimple; assisting kuroko - here assist means tripping, because that's the kind of mood).
At first I was annoyed but now, I'm enjoying the fact that so far the writer has decided not to redeem Sharon.…
ooh, that part of the synopsis was bugging me from the beginning and now I have a reason to pick it up. But if he's immortal since Joseon times, how come he was back in his teens (when he was tutoring young Hae Ra)? How does it work here?
Does it have much hospital politics so far? (Haven't been able to watch it yet)
Not very much yet, but it's present. Like, many doctors are related, a place for an heir is being prepared while he struggles with his own issues etc. But more than typical hospital politics the focus is on the privileged vs rest of the world theme so far.
We have a runaway from Hwayugi's set. Looks like Ma Wang should be more careful with locking his closet room next…
Is it me, or are people in this drama are getting progressively dumber. Let's not talk about corpse party as you call it, because those rich brats are amateurs, so it's understandable they panic and choose the stupidest option + there's a mastermind cornering them. (No, seriously, how dumb can the violent one can get.) Or the girl blabbering about the case. But a criminal with a tattoo on an exposed skin? Clad in black in broad daylight (TV criminals should really watch more TV)? Blackmailer boasting about his plans…? A name of your precinct sticking out of your pocket when you walk in front of a camera you set yourself…? /but as long as neither of those three who are in upper row of the cast list won't get conveniently dumb, I'm in/
Anyway, we've got a name now: Kim Jung Soo, another Frida lover - what's his motive? My vote goes either for a resentiment from being bullied in school by a fantastic four, or a revenge for the raped girl (or possibly one of countless others). As a doctor, he could access anaesthetics, too. But with this show, another u-turn with someone entirely new next week wouldn't be surprising anymore. The bigger drug case is still on a back burner, we're yet to see how it ties with it all. Random qs: 1. have we seen Mr Oh senior yet? 2. Is there any Nam around Oh jr?
Also: how is everyone feeling about Nara's visions? Is this just stress / the showmakers are feeling fancy (not impossible, given that something is going on with Choi Jae Hye, as shown with double dream sequence)? Maybe there's more to her since they're bringing those bits so often? Speaking of Ms Choi. I absolutly love that the perspective is shifted and we've been shown so little of the main duo. They both have some issues, but don't hijack the mystery aspect of the show.
/I like that every week gives a small closure. It sets the lead that may or may not be thrown out of the window very soon, but every time make it look like a valid route to take.
do you mean the theme from the trailer? cause that is a remix of jump around by house of pain and something I…
I got it, thank you :) I could swear the tracklists I saw were much shorter and only had songs.
Re: Juggler. You mean the one when he and the girl meet in some shady boiler room and he says all their conversations are off the record? It's neither of those http://www.mnet.com/album/2782850 ? (9 to 22 are instrumentals, maybe Ozzy Juggler or Aggressive…?). Mnet only allows me to play a one minute excerpt and nothing sounds exactly like that part, but I'm thinking maybe it's a parody of something, that's why it's not on the album?

the trailer that plays here, with two corpses in cobalt light? No, that's not it. That was slower, lazier, bumbling-like. See the very beginning of ep 2, from 0:00:50.
Can someone please tell me what "cliché" this drama had in the first 2 episodes because I saw a comment by someone…
I guess they mean that leads have met before. There are flashbacks to one scene in their youth, but for me it's not conclusive enough to say they were childhood sweethearts as people say here. He just stands in the back (with his friend - Namaste guy?) and watches her. No interaction. But he knows her address, so maybe there's more to it.
bonus: it actually breaks a cliche in the end of ep 1.
They revealed so much things in the first episode, it seems pretty straight to the point. I wonder if it will…
I like that about it, it makes it tight and goal-oriented. I'm curious what kind of a revenge drama will it be and how long will the MC stay an antihero. From what I saw so far he seems dead inside rather than purely vengeful.
could someone tell me when will it end? It should be soon, shouldn't it? The site I'm using is at 36th ep currently, but I can't find the date anywhere. Do they release 8 episodes per week or 10? Was there a holiday break? Sorry if that was answered before, I'm afraid to scroll through the comments.
