Can't figure out what so funny to screw up the name Vincenzo Cassano. For those who are not aware, Vincenzo is the original form of what in the USA became known as Vinnie. For those who are not aware, Cassano is a real last name. Most famous Cassano is a football player, who was on the Italian national team (gli azzurri).
Was looking for something light, and Hello me does it. The younger Hani is adorable. I am guessing that now that she knows she will get a scar, when she goes back to her time she won't try the stupid thing that resulted in the scar. I also like when the older and younger HaNi dance. Well, best wishes to the series.
Si', ho visto il secondo. Era meglio del primo, anche dal punto di vista dell'italiano: per es. il testo in italiano sul cellulare che parlava del decesso del miliardario cinese era a posto.
A me ha fatto schifo: l'italiano dell'attore (una porcata immonda), i sottotitoli inglesi che non danno il tono dell'italiano usato, e gli insulti agli est asiatici da parte del mafioso.
Being Italian, I can't hide I was curious to see how my native country was going to be shown in a kdrama. So far it's not very good. Overall, ep. 1 left me with the feeling that I was watching American rather than Korean stuff. Vincenzo's Italian (for a guy adopted at age 8 and who is a lawyer!) is disgusting. The accent is impossible, the fluidity when speaking is nonexistent, the hand gestures should be better, the choice of words ought to be better. It's not only him, though. The English subtitles translating Emilio's speech were sanitized. "Che cazzo fai ..." and equivalent stuff (also used by Vincenzo in Korea) should be translated properly and not with things like, "Hi, what brings you here?" The several racist insults hurled at Vincenzo were also heavily sanitized. Vincenzo was right in telling Emilio that he would make him pay for that. Showing the guy eating spaghetti when receiving Vincenzo was sheer nonsense. So was not showing how the car got out of the villa compound, which sported a closed gate and armed guards. Let's see ep. 2.
Saw the trailer a few weeks ago and was anticipating this. You don't really see much of the mafias in kdrama usually,…
In case you were hoping to see the mafiosi again, I am sure you will. Vincenzo (whose Italian is disgusting, someone else should have done the Italian voice) destroyed the vineyard of mafia boss Emilio and totaled the car and three goons of mafia boss Paolo. Emilio and Paolo are both going after Vincenzo. We'll see them later somehow linked to the other bad guys in Korea: BigPharma, thug developers, and even the airport con artists.
I waited until the quasi end to watch this show in order to binge on the first 12-13 episodes. The actors were chosen well for roles that look quite realistic: agents, actors, athletes, teachers, translators, artists, politicians, ... The female lead looked oddly familiar, and I finally figure it out: she was in My Little Bride as the friend/schoolmate of the female lead. The series is unusual in many ways: very little beating, no mafia, the theme of homosexuality came up in almost every episode, we got tons of movies (movie making, direct references, Melies' early movie of "Voyage dans la lune" continuously playing, refs to Korean slashers possibly including the very recent "Beasts clasping at straws", inserts from a movie in the 1920-1930s), and - BEST OF ALL - pretty much no product placement! Last but not least, I really appreciated that at the very end the writer showed what happened to everyone, major folks as well as really minor ones, like the bar guy, who happily cleaned the glasses that will be used when he opens the bar later on.
Just binged watched it. Liked Shin DongMi/MinJae's energy, the extensive use of public transportation, the mingling of clips from series episodes being produced, the reaction of viewers, ... For some nihilistic reason, the writer didn't allow for any relationship (except for work-related ones) to hold, let alone blossom. What was the point to get the male and female leads meet again in the end to declare they won't see each other later? To reiterate the point that no one - not even them - formed a couple?
Still don't get it why Goong Cheol covered up his friend's case even it was related to someone's life
He wanted to make sure he would be suffering for the rest of his life rather than getting 2-3 years in jail letting him think he paid his due. That's also why he gave him his AB blood after he got knifed.
Got puzzled by the last episode. Hope someone can explain these two points for me in spoilers. 1. Who is the woman next to the stiff in the morgue and why is it relevant to the series? 2. After JaeHoon got knifed, why did JungHae go to that place? Did they live next to each other after she divorced and in so doing noticed the blood trail? In this series loved Kim Hye-Eun, who had a small, but very graceful role in Itaewon Class.
I enjoyed every last second of that final episode, Netflix logo included. Mission accomplished! It was nice. Predictable…
Personally, I rate this series in the middle: not the best (try Stranger 2 and The Good Detective! or even Hyena), and not the worst (not sayin': I don't want to insult anyone). I strongly agree that JiPyeong deserves a second season where he would have a lion share (mesmerize InJae or SaHa's sister, or some other interesting lady), but I am not sure that this specific writer is the one, who would do him justice. I ALSO want to see all bastards locked up ("dad", his "great" son, and twins), and the key being thrown away.
Oh no, there were some shits this year that doesn't even get close to this. It's not the best of the year but…
Fully agree. There is some trash (won't say in order not to offend anyone) that came out that should have gone to the incinerator rather than the screen. Start-Up is in the middle of the pack.
Anyone who hasn't figure out by now the twins Apollon-Artemis are behind the hacking (such vanity to sign with your ID!)? The only thing I am curious is about the car-related problems they unknowingly "inherited" by stealing during the hacking operation: they didn't realize there were issues at the test.
It would be weird if they weren't after all these scenes- twins unnecessaily lied about lunch- got defensive about…
Agree with one caveat. I don't think they quit out of the blue or because the gig failed. I think they had planned to jump ship to the company to which they were selling the self-driving car.
Read my comments all the way down there, I think it's an insider job.
The twins (whom the author never did anything to make them likeable) knew the system, and made sure that it could be entered remotely in order to divert attention to an outside hacker.

The twins did both.
