Taejoo and Yeongbeom are so similar, these two issues are basically the same. They’re both aggressively righteous and confrontational when faced with wrongs. A person like Siyoung could never win over this type of person. It’s just his luck his nephew turned out like another uncle and not him.
Jung Moonsung (Gihwan actor) deserves some type of award for this role. That was a performance of a lifetime. Gihwan wasn’t loud, snippy, or intimidating, rather his microexpressions and calm, unsettlingly friendly, unbothered, unrepenting demeanor made him terrifying.
He did have sibling-like affection for her. When they were in school, Taejoo used to take home cookies and cakes…
He specifically said he hated having “hyungs” / brothers. An illegitimate sister wouldn’t be as much of a threat to him, and given this was the 90s, a sister would have no power over him.
I think he did crave sibling love, just not from a brother who has more power in the family than him. He’s a messed up person, I can’t even try to understand or explain his thoughts and feelings TBH.
A lot of viewers infantilise Kang Taejoo and think he’s the only innocent one here besides Seo Jiwon. But he was biased against those two guys Gibeom and Im Seokman because of his sister. He was determined to indict Gibeom and get his sister away from him when he found out they were dating and he was part of the student uprising, and when he found out she was pregnant he changed his tune. Then he got hellbent on indicting Im Seokman because he admitted to having a crush on his sister, had her handkerchief, and was caught in a weird (misunderstood) situation with his sister. At no point did he stop and think to investigate properly or consider he might be going after someone innocent, he was misguided by his biases.
I wonder what kind of feelings Siyoung had for Sunyoung? At first, I don’t think he saw her with the kind of…
He did have sibling-like affection for her. When they were in school, Taejoo used to take home cookies and cakes for her from the tutoring sessions, and Siyeong knew. Siyeong bought a box of them so Taejoo could give fresh ones to baby Sunyoung. It was a “friend’s baby sister” kind of thing. When they met again, he remembered her as the baby Taejoo used to take treats home for, and bought her castella out of nostalgia.
She played Kim Young Kwang's love in On Her Wedding Day. He is 189 cm, she is 158. They were cute together. She…
Kwangsoo is playing a villain and has a long-term girlfriend, so I don’t mean romantic-cute, but funny-cute, and a bit scary considering the situation in the drama. She’s able to fend him off using objects larger than him though, like cars.
Kim Sungcheol is one hell of an actor.I had difficulty seeing Lee Kwangsoo as anything other than a comedian,…
Favourite Scenes In Episodes 7 & 8:
Woogi: Rooftop scene where he broke down, farm scene where he refused to give up details on Heeju, and holding Heeju’s arm to shoot that guy.
Park Hocheol: Fight scene in the car dealer’s office, and the scene where he was torturing Woogi.
Heeju ramming her car into the farm was *chef’s kiss*. Girl’s getting smarter not to trust anyone or give up, and not show up herself to places when threatened. I liked when she took the detective’s car keys. At this point she’s even more driven to keep the gold than Woogi. Just take everything you can and run to France with Woogi and your mom, fighting girlll! ✊🏼
I had difficulty seeing Lee Kwangsoo as anything other than a comedian, now I’ll have difficulty seeing the comedian in him. He played this villain character too damn well.
The drama is okay but not what it was advertised, I see no villains here
When lead characters are actually villainous, a large number of viewers say they hate the leads and the show, the leads are unlikeable and unrelatable, so it’s unlikely a romcom would have truly evil villains as leads. Viewers can barely handle complex characters. So it’s understandable why they went for “misunderstood villains”.
I was expecting both of them to be fiesty towards each other and for their relationship to be enemies-to-lovers, but he’s so down bad for her and I love it!
i m on ep 3 little bit confused, why this show is giving some copy vibes of "stranger things"?? i mean…
There are many, MANY shows and movies like this, and a lot are based on comic books from the 80s and 90s. X-Men, The Boys, The Umbrella Academy, etc. Well-known heroes like Spiderman and Captain America are the result of lab experiments too, as are villains like Venom. A lot of Korean shows like this too, like Awaken. Scientists experimenting on humans and them acquiring superpowers and either praising or despising their “creator” is a pretty common concept in superhero movies and shows. Stranger Things isn’t the first.
Fun drama!Park Eunbin usually plays more toned-down or serious, meaningful roles, so it was fun to watch her have…
- Why halmeoni (the grandma) funded the experiments the first time - The “side effects” - How exactly powers were attained from the wastewater (during the experiment the formulas were being injected, but in the wastewater it was entering people through the nose or mouth or skin, how does that work too?) - The difference between getting powers from the experiments directly versus from spillage/wastewater
