Ep.3 was a mess, scared of a cockroach is a sad excuse and Ing's sudden change of heart about Lin taking over the Play Park makes no sense after what she did in Ep. 2. The sudden physical affection with each other was out of the blue, there wasn't enough detailed verbal communication before they started kissing each other on the cheek. Lin briefly mentions, "I've taken a liking to you," ? and Ing doesn't even say much how she feels towards Lin, she's just giggling and silent most of the time??? A whole nothingburger and wordslop to fill in the gaps. She does her usual balloons and food delivery/matcha drinks. I get it, actions speak louder than words but this has happened in the past Ep, we need some deeper, inner thoughts here. Plus the secretary giving a random man her boss' car keys, really? That's a red flag and practically asking for termination.
Ing's character is too infantilized for me. It's like looking at a teenager, even though she's a mother.
I'm 6 episodes in so far and where are Sonoko's parents the whole time? Every single one of the kids' parents are just not in their lives?
Edit: Ending doesn't surprise me much, Sonoko's coworkers always seemed too close yet distant when they were helping her out with her problems outside of work.
Ms. CEO has been reeled in - actually liked the 2nd ep as the misunderstanding clears up quick and Ing's past is slowly being unrevealed, her husband is a nasty piece of work. Lin is fast to decipher Ing's calculative plans and gauging situations. Talk about a real lover!
Watched Kokuho in theaters, quite slow at times but the storytelling was very packed - each character had their flaws for sure but that meant they made difficult decisions and life can come at you very quickly.
Kikuo endured a lot of unfairness and loss, but so did Shunsuke. I'm impressed that their relationship was portrayed in a brotherhood way, not enemies despite their different backgrounds. They handled their frustrations and moments of weakness with pride for each other when they had their confrontations. Kikuo's undying love for kabuki is amazing as he did not once give up on it during those long years of hardship.
Finished watching this, things got slow midway as each person spoke about how they knew Sarah Kim and her other personas. Shouldn't be confusing that Kim Minjeong is the person who died as she didn't have a kidney scar and calloused hands from her leather craftsmaking. Only 10 years in jail for killing someone is kind of crazy, that's Korea's justice system for you.
oh wow, i didn't expect that ending. kind of disappointed since that means the cycle of torture goes on even though win and boon (and everyone before them) didn't even know that their lineage was cursed at first or about their karmic fate. who knows how long this will go on till jomkwan makes a resolve to pass over. quite psychologically damaging for win, because boon didn't even get a proper send-off before jomkwan took over and she already lost her sister van in this lifetime
kae went out with a bang, can't say the karma of getting her ass handed to her was worth it for claire though. happy that claire took capybara with her even though she couldn't take the roses (rip pa'porn). bell waited for her in the end, knew she was a real one after burning down her ex' house and got him arrested, we love a calculative queen
bow and sita was getting down to business till sita dropped that reveal! they're quite an entertaining couple with their fight. i'm surprised bow asked prem for help instead of pat the romantic expert. making prem go up and down the stairs as their proxy messenger got me rolling!
the ending song together with flashbacks (chopstick-kiss scene still remains undefeated) was a nice touch to wrap up the series!
the photos of them lined up in the garden - IJBOL because who was taking pictures of them when they were presumably together ALONE...poisonous love all over again ahaha
IJBOL ep.6 bell's big ass smile when she walked to her new jail cell. very unserious after she was beaten to a pulp for her loan debt. the one thing i'm glad for is that kae didn't destroy the roses/garden which is a significant treasure to both claire and bell. neither did she target bell in their secret hideout which could have been thrashed before claire got out. now kae is back to being alone again after acting dumb asf...
love the cinematography, the zooming out shots from bird eye view and the usage of space to give an outsider perspective always gets me.
ep. 5, the shared bed trope is going strong and so is the slow burn which they finally kissed this time! love to see that boon stepped up to protect win as they continue their search for answers and changing win's fate. sad about the homeless woman though, it took her dying for the two to get answers. looking forward to the next ep. for van's side of the story
ep. 6 was rushed lmao alin's dad suddenly appearing to talk about w magazine, is he that strapped for cash? pie pulling strings again while jane also does (in a good way ofc). what kills me is how kate shows up with no shame like she didn't traumatize alin when she slept with the guy who sabotaged her career and job
ep. 4 - van slamming her head over and over against the door was crazy.
we finally got the 'only one bed' trope! a bit weird to say but win looked really cute smiling when boon turned to face her in the bed before getting up ahaha
seems like there's still a lot of unwritten rules on how to interact with ghosts
