Q for those who expressed dissatisfaction with the male lead looking too young and consider droping it or not…
I read he's supposed to be 14 in a book, so suddenly Luhan doesn't seem that off anymore. He could totally pull that off. I was assuming his character is closer to 20 deadline.
I don't know what to make out of this yet.
I'm also confused to who or what OJO is. I'm leaning towards the theory of 'soul of the typewriter'…
I'm not angry at all. I'm aware of theories with unfocused stares and I disagree. I see it as a decoy. And I think if the showmakers were using viewers' habits against them for once, it would be awesome.
Red beans aren't normal object like a box of matches. They're used to ward off spirits (compare: vampires and garlic or religious symbols), that's why shaman-woman was throwing them. I believe the scene when he picked it was a clear indicator he's not a ghost. While I admitt the show is deliberately ambiguous, I'll stick with double play theory for now (a play on ghostwritter pun to fool the viewers). If it turns otherwise, no bad feelings. I'm always pleased to be fooled by a work of fiction.
Q for those who expressed dissatisfaction with the male lead looking too young and consider droping it or not starting at all:
is it safe to assume that the youthful appearance comes in pair with a childish story? Is it automatically targeted at younger audience? Or is he just not attractive to you, which makes it uncompelling to watch?
I'm also confused to who or what OJO is. I'm leaning towards the theory of 'soul of the typewriter'…
How do you explain that he can touch the beans then?
It is possible for the father to ignore a man under the desk if he concluded he's a ghostwritter. It's a valid guess. Han Se Joo's friendless. We have no reason to suspect he has a lover and he doesn't sustain family ties if he can avoid it, so there's no one who could be there on a social ground - and if there was, 1. why would he hide, 2. the writter wouldn't let someone to enter his working room just to hang out in a first place. The floor is covered with crushed paper. There are rumours. The writter was acting suspiciously, trying not to let his father in (more than he usually does, I guess). It's a logical assumption to suspect an unknown man hiding beneath a table is a ghostwritter and the father doesn't seem like a man who'd like to get involved with such a person. He refers to him as a thing, because he sees him as a possible liability, something unworthy of writer proper (is it also super fake of him, since he probably knows who the real author of 'Fate' is? hell yeah).
Side note: is his fther's sight good enough to see a title across the room?
Your insistence on people not seeing him makes me realize I grew too accustomed to people's stares not meeting in kdramas, conversing actors not standing parallel to each other, kisses and slaps exchanged in the air and so on.
I watched the first episode. It's not horrible enough to drop it already, but 55 ep is way too much for this. Not that cringy, but boring for now. I'll try to give it a few more, maybe something will start happening soon.
I think I now know who's terminally ill; it's Dr. Seo :/ Rather than he's dash attempt to capture…
what makes you think so? He shows no symptoms and makes long term plans. He expects to at very least outlive his father.
Was the initial misunderstanding ever fully resolved (whether there was a hypothetical fourth patient in a covered bed and who was it)? I remember them talking only about her condition, but not explaining everything.
there were villains I had more sympathy for than for Jung Hee (on my defence, some of them had very sharp cheekbones).…
his mind works in those close circuits, his attention tends to shift from one objective to another in a flip. He was the same when he couldn't make his mind whether he'd liked to stay with Jae Bok or go to Nami at the beginning. JB tries to limit his time with kids, he goes full-on to take legal action and get a custody. With a proven psychopath at his side. Come on. (Little wonder having a mother like this (give her a fancy apartment and suddenly she's all smiles).)
I think he was so freaked out seeing his favourite shirt and his daughter's bunny in shreds he genuinely forgot his phone is bugged. And yet he thinks he deserves those grand gestures of leaving Eun Hee's gifts on the road and just walking away.
It's time for Brian to come out from the shadows and do something. I have to admitt I'm losing my interest. JB and BG will be fine anyway. The love triangle filler with her friends and that lawyers is just that - a filler. Eun Hee and Jung Hee can destroy each other and probably no one will weep for them.
TvN! The Master of Historical dramas is finally doing a modern time drama agian!
Lol, how is tvN a master of historical dramas when the only sageuk they ever produced is virtually unknown Joseon X-Files? Ok, let's say that Goblin and Queen In-Hyun's Man count too, and maybe Reply series, but that's a stretch. They do almost exclusively modern day shows.
Could someone explain to me in simple words why Choi Il Hwan wrote the sentence as an official document, with stamps, signature and everything (and kept it)? I though he was speaking figuratively that he will make a sentence as he did when he was still a judge back in his days (= make a draft for someone else to sign, like a ghostwritter), but he's not anymore, isn't he? How was he planning to push it with his own name? Did they plan to go with that scheme of framing Mr Shim without Lee Dong Joon in a first place, but later decided to include him and use his reputation? I don't understand what purpose having this document had other than being a liability/plot device.
Thanks for your work!:)
