Theories and Thoughts after Seeing today's Ep 7 🤓 (First Comment Under Spoiler Tag) Anyone's who's seen till this episode what do you think?
P.S. - I was so happy when this couple was announced to lead this show, and oh boy the casting was so right - they are so good together on-screen! ❤️ Love Rowoon & Bo-Ah individually and together they are just 🔥*internally screaming*
so those who saw the latest episode 14 would know that it was revealed that the CEO of J Entertainment, Do Ha's…
Either he did not like her - or any other woman to be near Do Ha. Like in his own twisted way he thought that if he could not express his love, he won't let any woman do it too.
Like he did not mean to congratulate Sol Hee, in some ways keeps Syaon apart from Do Ha - maybe he did not like Eom Ji and how she was clinging to Do Ha. Also she was a very toxic person who was kind of threatening Do Ha's peace and career too. Which is why he decided to take it in his own hands.
Maybe Eom Ji probably made fun of him or threatened him. Like when he is facing Sol Hee, a background voice does say " Stop Liking Seung Ju" - in Eom Ji's voice. So maybe she knew he liked Do Ha, and taunted him - which agitated him to hit her, and accidently or actually kill her.
Guess, we need to wait for another week to have the answers :)
Thank you for saying this. I always feel bad reading comments about his acting but we can't please everyone. In…
Oh this is news to me - even in variety shows, I thought he seemed like an introvert, and I felt which is why he is portraying these roles so well. Personally I thought it was good to have fellow introverts on screen and made me happy!
But yes, I feel - he is not the best actor out there, rather he is someone who is still growing and I hope he continues to do so. Also, gets the right opportunity as well to grow and hone his skill.
I personally would like to see more of his work, given the plot/character and all is also done well cause that will enhance/make or break his efforts as an actor!
To reply to the 3rd point... I think this idol/actor has a roles cut to his abilities. He acted also in Alchemy…
I think it is closest to his personality. I mean my reference is just the show - I Live Alone, and it seems evident that he is not the wild party person or someone is too vocal but rather someone who is reserved and likes to hang out in a smaller setting with close friends.
His role in My Lovely Liar is the only one I have seen and he plays a character similar to that. And going by what you and others have shared, seems to be the case in other shows as well.
Idk if he relates as an introvert, but I see him as that - and so as a fellow introvert, kind of makes me smile seeing such an actor and character onscreen!
What did you all think of the last scene of Ep 14 - the impact on Sol Hee (O_O)I have a funny observation on it…
Looks like the blast could impact her hearing powers - and the lie detection could go away. If it does, the timing is so sad - she had just become appreciative of her powers only to be taken away?
I guess she would be happy - but my funny mind is thinking what will happen to her business? Will she close it down / only run the cafe business?
Or will she con people on the pretext of hearing lies - bet her mother would be happy :P Haha, jokes apart - hope the ending is a nice finish!
About the real killer of Choi Eom Ji and their motive - a lot of us did suspect it but I didn't think they would…
so those who saw the latest episode 14 would know that it was revealed that the CEO of J Entertainment, Do Ha's friend/brother-like figure, Deuk Chan is the culprit.
A lot of us suspected it : EITHER as a real killer who threw Do Ha and then his brother under the bus, for his success & fame. And possibly working under the direction of Do Ha's mother. OR the alternative which the writers actually decided to go with - he actually loved Do Ha, and so could not bear Eom Ji and even Sol Hee.
Tbh, the motive while a good twist is not a great twist, in fact the execution seems a little bleak. Like am okay with the revelation but my mind is not blown away - it is not impactful.
In any case - since watching him in Tomorrow and hoping for a BL/Bromance since then for Yun Ji On, cause he's such a talent - a part of me is glad that it was realised in a way in this unrequited form in this drama :]
About the real killer of Choi Eom Ji and their motive - a lot of us did suspect it but I didn't think they would actually do so cause it was such a unexpected motive.
More in the first comment under the spoiler tag - did anyone expect this?
A few words for Hwang Min Hyun - some observations as we near the end of this show:
1. This is the first time I am watching him in a drama. I had high expectation given the premise of this drama and while I know the FL, Kim So Hyun has made her mark in the industry, I wanted to see how the ML would be.
2. Initially when the show trailer came out - I thought he might be another pretty face, like so many idol-turned-actors. While I like to fangirl for handsome actors/idols, I keep their acting prowess (or lack of it) separate and try my best not to be biased (success rate: 95%)
3. As the drama started - till now (Ep 12-13) Hwang Min Hyun's acting has not been earth-shattering good nor has it been a cardboard cutout presence either. Somewhere in between, decent and will not make you cringe or jump with joy.
4. In fact what I liked in this drama is - that he keeps the lost boy, shy, insecure, scared look quite well as his role demands. One can almost empathize with him as he feels guilty about hurting others around him because of his past, and you can see him struggle.
P.S This is so cause I discovered his episode of I Live Alone and realized that he definitely is different IRL and emotes on a different level there. So cardboard acting can be ruled out.
Not that I am insanely impressed by him, but wanted to write this out cause even today there are still very few good idol-turned-actors. Most get signed on projects cause of their popularity, even winning awards due to it, than their acting. So those who are at least good or trying should be talked about - is what I feel.
Hwang Min Hyun is definitely someone who looks good onscreen and is not terrible at acting. Excited to see him shape up in future as he hones his acting skills and we get to see him in more projects!
Questions for those who have seen Taiwanese version of this drama before watching the Korean remake and enjoyed both versions.
1) Is the Taiwanese version slow or fast paced? (Just saw Ep 1 only, it was too slow for me to get immersed into so asking if it gets better)
2) What are the differences? Are they major and mind-blowing? (If answering, please let me know - I don't mind spoilers either)
❋---❋---❋---❋
I actually had Someday or One Day in my watchlist since very long, even before this Korean remake was announced. Just never got to watch it cause it was not available in my region through any authentic OTTs in English subs. Just few weeks back, I got to know another source to watch it - but it was one of those torrent sites. Lots of ads made the experience less enjoyable - and I managed to only watch Ep 1 cause it was too slow for my liking. As in it took long for the story to build up & mystery to unfold.
So I watched the Korean version and have loved it - but want to know, if I should still watch the original if it has major differences?
While I loved Jeon Yeo Been in Vincenzo, and here in this drama as Han Jun Hee (the older version/2023), for some reason I was not convinced seeing her as a high school girl Min Ju.
Nothing on her acting which is as always top notch - just it felt odd/out of place. Like with Ahn Hyo Seop - cause I have seen him in other high-school roles, it felt believable and not weird that a 28 year old is playing a 18 year old. He does look a bit on the younger side, but for some reason is able to pull off mature and boyish roles.
It is nothing major, I still enjoyed her portrayal and drama overall, but at times in certain frames and angles, it felt out of place to see Jeon Yeo Been as a high school girl. (Nothing on her age or being older, cause I feel in any case K-actors always look much younger than they are)
For some reason, as an alternate casting - I thought someone like:
1) Kim Se Jeong: would have pulled off both the roles well. Could be cause of Business Proposal Hari being imprinted on my mind, but mainly as I have seen her as a high-schooler in School 2017.
2) Park Bo Young: again would have pulled off both the versions and in fact she did so in On Your Wedding Day and to me it felt very authentic.
3) Kim So Hyun: again someone who can pull off a mature look of mid-late twenties, as well as a 16-18 year old.
It could be an unpopular opinion, but then it just came to my mind so thought to pen it down here.
The Incomplete Love Story: Tae Ha & Yeon JunSpoilers ahead in first comment - but this is my only and earnest…
I am not a hardcore BL fan, having seen only 2 J-dramas so far with the theme and loved every bit of it. Even then only the few minutes that these two characters had in this drama, with the tension and love so palpable that it has left me a sobbing mess and wanting more!
I think more than the main story - cause I knew it would be good and had an expected ending. This little cameo and brief story pieced my heart which was so unexpected. Maybe cause they did not get their happily ever after - my heart shattered as did their car.
So I really hope someone picks up their story and gives it an alternate and happy ending.
And of course, it has to be played by Rowoon and Ahn Hye Seop. I have been watching these two men since their debut work and they have impressed one and all with their talent. But this little BL storyline just made me go crazy & I hope there is definitely a future project with these two! ❤️❤️❤️
Spoilers ahead in first comment - but this is my only and earnest request after watching this drama. Hoping a fanfiction writer or K-drama scriptwriter sees this and makes it come true with the cast of Rowoon and Ahn Hyo Seop cause they are magic together which was so unexpected! ❤️❤️🔥🤝
She did leave a lasting impression from Squid Games, but I was not able to see her other works (cause either she was not the lead or the drama didn't attract me). Strong Woman Do Bong Soon is a classic, brand name of its own - so definitely looking forward to this new take on the story of powerful women! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I don't get the reference. Why I am Groot and relation to bracken?
Thanks Betty_Boop and greyyyy - haha, I know who Groot is but then when she asks him why is he here when he said he doesn't want to eat - and he says I am Groot 🤣
Like I don't get the comedy factor if there was any - though both of them looked cute when saying it!
