This is episode features Part 1 o the WSG Wannabe concert, including full group and unit performances, as well as cover stages. It's crazy to think that this project was able to bring together all these singers and entertainers across generations and achieve so much. From topping the charts to hosting a concert, it's been so nice getting to know each of the members. This set up of debuting a 12 member group with 3 distinctive subunits, and no survival/competition drama really gave each member a chance to shine, and has been wholesome to watch. Can't wait to see what else they have in store for the audience in Part 2. (Note: the episode thumbnail and description don't match. The description is for episode 149 - part 1 of the concert, but the thumbnail shows episode 150 - part 2 of the concert)

The Tale of Lady Ok Episode 13

She better keep it together and deny at all costs. But in this case, I think unfortunately her's husbands face doesn't help her case. Had it been anyone else other than So-hye, it would probably be easier to get away with. But now that they're in the same town, and she's seen her face... it's only a matter of time before she sees both of their faces and puts two and two together. Even with the new identities, this combination of faces is too much of a coincidence for So-hye to be able to let it go. She's already held onto the grudge for so long, she will dig and dig for even a single crack in their identities. Honestly pretty frustrating that this is how she gets found, but perhaps it was inevitable. It'll also be hard for her to just leave behind her new identity at this point because the stakes are too high now. The brother-in-law's family would be implicated, all her legal work would need to be abandoned, and she's too high profile to leave without getting noticed. It would be basically an admission of guilt if she leaves. Feels like check-mate. That being said, this episode had a nice balance of heartwarming and comedic moments, ultimately followed by the suspenseful cliffhanger.

Doesn't seem like the drama producers cared much about the historical accuracy of the period costumes. Male lead wearing a black turtleneck under his trench coat? I would give the trench coat a pass, but the turtleneck feels like a major stretch for a an era when traditional Korean hanboks and the modernized suit-style of Japan were at odds with each other. I guess that's one way to make the male lead stand out amongst other characters, but it's not an impressive fashion choice for the costume designer/stylist to make. If he wanted to wear a turtleneck, he should've picked another historical period to act in. Makes me wonder what other aspects of the drama the producers decided to muddle through without proper research or regard for historical accuracy. Also, considering the female lead is a doctor, I was disappointed in their depiction of the medical profession. As the surgeon, she was the *only one* not wearing her mask properly as she entered the surgery room. The fact that the nurses and other health providers are wearing masks indicates that mask-wearing in surgeries is medically relevant, and their decision to let the main female lead disregard the mask use? Seems like they were more concerned with presenting the main lead's visuals rather than her professionalism. Her tendency to shoot vast amounts of injection serums from the needles before injecting her patients also seems overdramatized and unnecessary. They've also completely thrown out the use of Japanese language amongst supposedly Japanese characters. Given the time period of the show, Korea was being occupied by the Japanese, and the use of the Korean language was looked down upon. It doesn't make sense that the Japanese would speak the Korean language with other Japanese. I understand that it may have been a decision made to reduce the difficulties of hiring Japanese-proficient cast, and to make the drama easier to digest amongst a larger Korean audience. However, their failure to incorporate the Japanese language and disregard for accuracy of the period costumes leaves the audience guessing who the characters are and which side of the Japanese-Korean conflict they stand on, or even pretend to stand on. Overall, not an impressive first episode.

This episode showed a lot of culture and language barriers between Yeon Keong and her interpreter, which was unfortunate. It was slightly frustrating to watch. Furthermore, Yeon Keong's absence during the viewing of her segment meant that a lot of Rainbow Club's questions were not answered and left hanging. Hyun Moo seemed to try to address questions, but only haphazardly and jokingly. Although East Asian countries may share some aspects culturally, some of the commentary in this episode seemed ignorant and lacking. The episode would've probably been better if Yeon Keong was present during the viewing.
