Space Sweepers is at no 5 in india.,. I am soo happy for song joong ki... Gosh he deaerved that after sooo much struggle on personal front...

i cried too..... and then when they bid good bye to each other and we got to knwo that kot nim was already taken care of ..... they already knew that they are gonna die.... oh boy....my heart broke and i cried... SJK is soo good with kids.... no words literally.... and hats off to him to choose projects which suits him..... wholeheartedly waiting for Vincenzo... !!!

in netflix india , korean entertainment grew by 370%.. major contributor being crash landing on you , King-eternal monarch and Start up. This industry still has lots of untapped potential.... I was glad that such a film which is giving equal sort of feelings like interstellar etc is being made out of Korea.... its a huge deal , huge huge huge deal...

but i must admit that this is a huge creation coming from a korean director..

i did ... it was good but its such a bummer.... tehy should have released it on cinema houses.... that should have been amazing... but nonetheless , i am satisified.... plus its kim tae ri and song joong ki....anything for them... :D

@stroppyse i watched it too.... yesterday since it was a friday.... i just kept refreshing the page....the moment it dropped... i watched it... gosh , it was on my "remind me" for as long as i remember...

I just completed watching episode 4..... needless to say i am hooked... it is also interesting how forgiving seo dal mi is... and ironically that sand thing was for won in jae... ! And in the end the other mentor/VC from USA who just came to Korea and the background words - "Be Careful , the person may seem like a spring breeze at first but may turn into a strong winter wind and change your life completely". He will put a more than strong impression amongst them. And also as per Preview , It seems that Han Ji Pyong has serious objection at Seo Dal Mi becoming CEO since she is a high school graduate.

@abs-oluteM trust me when i say this.... i was like - my eyes literally got watery with all those laughing and i actually showed the clips of asking him Money to literally everyone in my family ( no relation to K Dramas or wahtsoever) ... everyone just kept laughing... imagine , you are trying to establish your company , a start up and you are in need of funding and you won a hotshot competition but in the end , you just sabotage it by sending unprofessional video message. i just could not stop laughing. Gosh , it was so funny. The best part was how Ji Pyong fell from treadmill... it was so so so well scripted.... Gosh....

@Alice Wonderland @mademoiselle Declaration OF MYM. he is indeed going to play the most charming character in the drama... Hollywood Reporter Article.. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/apples-pachinko-sets-cast-directors-for-international-production

Lee Min Ho joins hands with U.S.Apple TV Actor Lee Min-ho will star in the drama "Pachinko," which will be produced on Apple TV Plus. "Lee Min-ho will be the main character of the best-selling novel "Pachinko" by Korean-American writer Lee Min-jin among the works to be presented by Apple TV Plus," an entertainment industry source told Sports Chosun on Wednesday. "Pachinko" is a novel that captures the miserable lives of Zainichi (Korean residents in Japan), who were both Koreans but were eventually strangers, and was nominated for the 2019 National Book Award and selected by many media as the "Book of the Year." It is a novel written by Korean-American author Lee Min-jin, who lived in Tokyo for four years from 2007 and covered Korean residents in Japan, and is considered one of the best works of the times. Lee will make his first joint venture with Apple TV through "Pachinko." It has already gained popularity abroad due to SBS' "The Heirs," and recently completed SBS' "The King: Eternal Monarch," which was released worldwide through Netflix, and is expected to create synergy in collaboration with "Pachinko.""Pachinko" is scripted by Korean-American producer Su Hue and has author Lee Min-jin participate as a producer. Translated in english from original article: https://entertain.v.daum.net/v/20201019105038032 ‘Pachinko’ by Min JinLee was a NY best seller in 2015 and selected as ‘10 best books of the year’ in 2017. The novel drew attention in May last year when former US President Barack Obama introduced it as a ‘charming book’ on his SNS account.

EPISODE 2 RECAP Story goes to flashback , Lee Dong Wook in a red with white attire…. (Ashes of Love alert , anyone ) LDW voiceover says – If I were to talk about this time , it was the time of my prime. I was the owner of the Baekdu mountain range , the god of the wind and rain. The mixed fox in the urban legend, that was a different class to begin with , a nine tailed fox. There comes a kid who pats him on his head, and he asks her whether she wants to die. The girl says – That’s strange , the dog that lives with us likes it. When he enquires whether he knows who he is , the girl replies smiling that she knows that he is a fox. She introduces herself as Ah Eum. And then again LDW voiceover says – “if only I could go back to the past just once , I would go back to this moment without hesitation so that that child would not be able to find me.” We gradually see more and more interaction between the fox and the child. Ah Eum comes with that signature red umbrella, and Lee Yeon asks her how could she not forget and come back every time? The kid grows up and Jo Bo Ah (Ah Eum) is in ancient costume with the red umbrella in hand – She gives him that red umbrella. Then again LDW voiceover says – Some say it was a rare scandal in Baekdu. Saying that it was a god who gave his heart to a human. If it were now , it would have just been a passing story. I liked it somehow. I liked how the woman stayed in my forest. And the voiceover says – As you have speculated , this love story ended in tragedy. Someone stole her life. If she had crossed The Samdochen River (River Styx in Greek mythology) , I would never be able to see her again. I could not catch her but I could not bear to let her go. I decided to abuse my power. He turns the water into ice. He meets Ah Eum one last time. He tells A Eum to be reincarnated. Lee Yeon promises to find her. He pushes his magic fox bead into her, kisses her. Over the years Lee Yeon meets different women who looks like Ah Eum but none has the fox bead. 1999- Lee Yeon tests young Ji Ah for the bead but she does not have it. He sighs that she is not his Ah Eum. He compels her to forget what she has seen or else he would kill her. 2020- Ji Ah says that she is waiting for him. She stabs him with a syringe. Lee Yeon looks at her with surprise. Lee Yeon says “Maybe I should have killed her then.” (rest in spoiler)

Episode 1 (detailed recaps) Voiceover on a moonlit night – “When a fox turns 100, it can become a beautiful woman or a man with a single love interest. When a fox turns 1000, it becomes a celestial fox with powers to see what lays ahead”. First Sequence – It is 1999 in Yeou Gogae (Fox Bridge). A young Nam Ji Ah is driven home on a quiet road with her mom and dad. Her mother gives Ji Ah her birthday present early, a carousel music box. As the father drives , the street lights go out, then the car flips over. ( Goblin move , when Ji Eun Tak was kidnapped :D ) The car is completely flipped over and and three of them are kind of hanging upside down. Ji Ah unbluckles herself and tries to wake her parents up but they don’t move. A man and a woman who look exactly like her parents suddenly appear. The scene moves to Ji Ah’s home. She suddenly wakes up from her sleep as if she had a bad dream. She sees that she is watching TV with her father while her mother is cooking. She tells them that she loves them and while her father inquired whether she had a bad dream , she says that she does not want to even think about that. Suddenly she notices that her music box is chipped from the accident , she has a small blood stain on her clothes and her parents laugh at news of death on TV. She asks her mother to give her a walnut cookie. When her mother tries to find walnut cookies in their kitchen, she stabs the mother, stating that she has nut allergy and her mother being a doctor has always known about it. She runs away upstairs and the father and mother follow her. They rip off the door handle and thrust their claw into the room. She retreats beside the table and shuts her eyes, thinking that this nightmare will end. Suddenly the screaming stops and she sees a red umbrella peeking in with a tall man standing. (I swear this man will be the death of mine , anyway back to recapping , Let’s not get distracted by the handsomeness of LDW) This man sends some golden colored something to her which just vanishes into thin air ( I did not understand what it was ) and the man says that she is not Ah Eum. Now this guy with the weird looking golden eyes tells her – compels her , “Forget everything you saw today , everything. If you don’t do as I say , ….and then suddenly they mute his voice” (why PD Nim , why) Now Ji Ah finds herself in the middle of the accident venue and her parents are missing. She requests the police to find them. That man (LDW) watches from the roadside with a bored face. Now Chapter 1 - The Incident that Occurred in Yeo Gogae starts – This is 2020 & LDW wakes up to an alarm for a marriage ceremony. Red Hot Messy Hair.. He takes a bath and PD Nim does show us a peek at his after-shower-hot-bod… (my life is complete.... :D) He ignores healthy breakfast for mint chocolate ice cream. Before he leaves the apartment, he grabs his red umbrella. Others gasp at the sudden rain shower while Lee Yeon utilizes his umbrella. Someone wonders why there is rain when it was not forecasted. Lee Yeon comments that it is because the Fox is getting married on this day. Lee Yeon enters the marriage hall and goes straight where bride is taking photographs. He tells everyone to give him some time with the bride. The bride requests , begs him to forgive and let her marry and that she will not kill any human now onwards since she has fallen in love. Lee Yeon says she’s a fox who has killed too many humans. Now she must die. She wheedles an agreement that she can have the wedding ceremony before he kills her. Meanwhile Producer Director Nam Ji Ah ( Jo Bo Ah ) has a brief conversation with Pyo Jae Hwan regarding the adjustment done on the script, however he agrees that the writer had noticed that she had improved the script. She tells him that she does believe in monsters, but she is not scared of them. (rest in spoiler)

@NiteWalker i already have Iqiyi subs... so i will keep doing it time to time... today is D day... lol

@abs-oluteM. @mademoisellesia just completed watching 2 episodes of the drama.... absolutely marvelous... This is my first time of jo bo ah., liking her so far and those cliff hangers...OMG... Lee Dong Wook is supremely talented and kim bum is making me fall in love with him again after BOF.. Looking at the suspense , i am sure that this drama is going to do well in terms of ratings.. Lee dong wook is a bit feminine here although probably it has something to do with korean folklore/mythology...i am not sure. But marvelous acting. This is a drama written for LDW and he is totally justifying it but my heart is still with grim reaper.... I just can't let go of epic playfulness between LDW and GY. But i will stick to this drama and watch it till the end simply because I am loving the plot.

yaaa he is either way good.... but the look is putting me off a bit... :D @NiteWalker

@NiteWalker wait... Whoa... What.is.that.?? he is looking.... i don't know very very not upto the mark... lol... i mean somewhat weird... he had better Physique in Ashes of Love...lol..

Thank you @Lynne and same to you...

They do look extremely good together.... again TSY is someone who has chemistry with almost all the actors...

@mademoisellesia thats the only drama which is keeping my sanity after eternal monarch.... or else my life would have been boring with a capital B... :D

@mademoisellesia i am present in everything but silently lurking :D .... congrats to those who participated....

@NiteWalker i am bowing down to take all the blame....my life has become eventful after this drama starts to air.. :D

no not yet...but where is that interview where SWL said that he fell in love with ling xiao character???? i need it WITH TRANSLATION... 😄

while awaiting the next episode , i do feel that MY should get a dose of reality and move out to beijing... she is miles away from reality... 😄
