  1. @mademoiselle the webtoon i think is not rated 19, but we will be having an idea what to expect if the drama adaptation will elevate this scene : chapter 17 THIS COULD BE THEIR FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER
  2. @mademoiselle interesting on your fam member who notices the form and posture of the actors during the tournament scenes. One badminton training center in Korea commends on episode 2 : 1. The overall appearance and atmosphere of the venue is very realistic, and the athletes who are playing games on the court with the whole shot clearly showed different strokes as if they were played as players instead of actors! 3. Still, like the ace among the main actors, I can feel that Tang Jun-sang, who plays Hae -gang, practiced badminton a lot and put in a lot of effort! The posture is the most active, and the moment-to-moment scenes produce scenes similar to those of the players! 4. In fact, it feels awkward in a match that is actually followed by a rally, but the wall-climbing training or jump smashing look just before hitting the ball is really synchronized with that of a player! 5. Personally, I wish the speed of badminton could be expressed more realistically!! Especially the smashing and clear shots make a great sound!! But when they fall on the opponent's court, they are parabolic and powerless~
  3. Haekang 's curry of hope While everyone try to save their lives from eating the horrible curry cooked by Haekang (the adjusshi even buried the poor curry in the ground), this couple was literally saved from committing suicide. Thanks to Haekang's curry of hope. It can save lives ! This is a big shot of reality in Korea, where suicide is prevalent not only to the younger age bracket--but also to adult , and families who are struggling financially. The drama is quite bold to tackle this in terrestrial TV. Since 2014, family or multiple suicides are becoming frequent that the government was alarmed . Repeated incidents shed light on holes in S. Korea’s welfare safety net The insertion of the couple going to rural area to commit suicide, I am itching to think that this could be a mask or a foreshadowing about Yoon 's family. Or this only represents the prejudice of couple / family suddenly going back from big cities like Seoul to rural areas just to commit suicide eventually. The Haenam village was also skeptical about Yoon's family sudden transfer to the county. No wonder, the halmoni became concerned about the two kids, and fed them. We still have 14 episodes, and considering the writer--there are a lot of stories to tell yet. Dad Yoon is a fighter in a sense that even after he was conned because of the co-maker of a loan, he still manages to have his pride intact regardless.
  4. This blog featured the rackets used in the drama. Honestly , I don't play sports, but I find this drama interesting not only because of the plot but badminton is quite similar to tennis (which im an avid fan of world tournaments). Haekang and Youngtae - Yonex Astrox 88 Dae-mun- Yonex Astox 77 Woo-chan - Yonex 2019 Voltric LD Force Seyoon and Solyi uses Astrox 77 with variation of color red

  6. JoonChae round up for the past two months ~ Baeksang , yes, Moon Chae Won may not have been nominated but a heartwarming remark from JG during his Naver Now 2 radio show for his birthday celebration mentioned this: ~right after the noms are out, Chaewon updated her IG sending message (perharps) to her fans , to take it easy. ~ during the awards night, PD won the award with the best director-so glad that the Baeksang production included/highlighted Chae Won's scenes during the director's speech
  7. SBS Now update Team Sweet Potato display the current trend today with social media 's endless hashtag craze. It's cute to see them being updated on social media I really like their cheer song
  8. Racket Boys Filming Locations There is no specific mention of the locations for this drama yet, but based on naver blogs, the setting for Haenam village was filmed in Gangneun and Miryang--places that are remarkably far from Seoul. Gangneun is famous for its beaches, where Goblin 's first meeting of Kim Shin and Euntak was filmed. You can check this blog for more interesting places to go. Meanwhile ,Miryang is known city around Korea for the Miryang arirang and for the view from the Yeongnamnu pavilion, subject of numerous poems from the Joseon Dynasty. Other noted landmarks include Eoreumgol and the temple of Pyochungsa. Famous people from Miryang include 15th-century Neo-Confucian scholar Kim Jong-jik and 16th-century warrior-monk Songun Yu Jeong. The city government works actively to maintain the memory of these figures, and of other local cultural features such as the tale of Arang.
  9. We're now at episode 10, halfway in the drama and hopefully the writer will not do any harm with our dear Cha Dol. Since episode 1 (or should I say since his early childhood), he witnessed different hardships from being a 'runaway slave son'. No wonder he matured enough that he can scold his father bluntly. I thought he was not aware that his father is doing 'bossam' but he did. And worse, he witnessed his dad kidnapping a princess. And to survive, he became a look out when his dad stole at a yangban's house Hiding/escaping from the palace's guards Separation Anxiety here and there Freaked out big time when he thought his dad died from drowning, worst, her Ongju almost died from killing herself. So I hope the cast truly mean when they said that Cha Dol is the drama 's mascot. He definitely liven up the atmosphere.
  10. @Tofuwon't hurt if he reprise his look in Chicago Typewriter !
  11. The show is off to a good start ! Episode 1 #RacketBoys : 5.2% | 5.7% #YouthofMay : 4% | 4.9% #DoomAtYourService : 3.3% 2049 ratings recorded at 3.0 % which is considered high already. (average ranges from 3-5 for good dramas, some remarkable dramas soared up to 10 % like The Fiery Priest)
  12. Kwon Sangwoo and Moon Chaewon Join WE GROW UP Chaewon already hinted her upcoming drama with clips she posted on her IG Bio. She's such a cutie. More references and could have been hints
  13. Reading the recaps, the recent episode highlights the spreader of books that shows anti-King campaign. This could be in reference to the famous scholar during King Gwanghae during his reign--the famous poet Kwon Pil. More about him One of his poems 宮柳詩 대궐 안 버들 Willow in the Palace 宮柳青青花亂飛 滿冠蓋媚城春輝 朝家共賀昇平樂 誰遺危言出布衣 대궐 안 버들[5]이 푸르니 꽃잎 어지러이 흩날리고 성 안 가득 벼슬아치들은 봄빛에 아양 떠네 조정에선 태평성대라 다들 칭송하는데 뉘신가, 위험한 말을 시골선비로부터 나오게 하나. As a willow is getting greener, flowers are fluttering about in the wind. Public officials are busy to keep flattering such Spring mood. Tho' everybody in the palace is talking "Everything is OK", Who can hear the voice of dangerous concerns in the country?
  14. @mademoiselle @Alice Wonderland Yep the webtoon is now up on Naver webtoon app - updated up to 15 chapters But a fan translator has the update until episode 55. I guess it stopped translating when they heard the official translation is released on Naver. Another filming location Shin Woo Yeo's mansion source
  15. Bossam Steal The Fate Filming Location - Ba Woo 's Family's house Seolmaejae Recreation Forest- Filming location of “Gwansang”, famous mountain snow plum and ginkgo tree at Yongmunsa Temple - Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Like I mentioned before, the production really did their assignment very well, showcasing different filming locations from all possible tourist attractions in Korea--including a film set which was not a usual spot for filming of sageuks. We only usually find locations form Dae Jang Geum and the one located in Hapcheon. But wow, I am trully impressed on how the production team maximized their filming, considering they filmed this drama for six months--during the cold seaons and with this pandemic. Bravo. Reference on access here, I can only find few blogs about the place and how to get there. Only shows that this location is not usually used for period dramas.
  16. Bossam Steal the Fate Filming Location Episode 3 - Palgongsan Provincial Park - Gasanbawi Rock Literally breathtaking for both location and the scene itself, when Princess Sookyung made her final bow and jumped to the river as her wish to die. (The river by the way is CG) Other drama filmed here - River Where the Moon Rises Access source
  17. Na In Woo was supposed to be cast as Prince Yeongyang! Talking about chances here! He updated his IG with the epic chicken meme Video here NIW behind the scenes at the Baeksang Awards
  18. I first checked this webtoon when it was fan-translated last year, I was not updated that it is already available officially on Webtoon app He's smoking hot already
