Keyword Interview - Yoo Ah In

I have to agree with @Tofu , the page move too fast for me too. And hey, I love that scene too, Tofu!! Your gif saved. I saw gif of it before I watched the episode and thought I'm gonna have to come in later to post the GIF. source: ByulE I love the paintings of the dragon too. The cinematography is so good here. But I must complained why is it that kdramas just cannot get the CGI of animals looking real? Kingdoms, Red Sky and now The Red Sleeve. You didn't read wrong. I read the same as well. Sado's death is quite controversial and has many sayings. However, by Wikipedia's record, I think the mother did play a part in it: "Fearing for the safety of her grandchildren, Royal Consort Yeong begged Yeongjo to deal with Sado. By court rules, the body of a royal could not be defiled and, under the then-common practice of communal punishment, Sado's wife and son (the family's only direct male heir) could also face death or banishment if he were executed as a criminal.[25] As a solution, Yeongjo ordered Sado to climb into a wooden rice chest (roughly 1.3m square / 4 feet square) on a hot July day in 1762.[26] According to Lady Hyegyeong's memoirs, Sado begged for his life before getting into the chest, though he attempted to get out again.[27]" Love the part that she finally knows who he is although must say the reflection in the pond is too clear P.S. I love the pre-release cut for the next episode. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. "Do you have 10 lives?" @SilverMoonTea I see you are lurking here. Is that mean you will continue?

Yeah she's the daughter from 18 Again. They acted together in Pinocchio. And look at the son from 18 Again... HAHAHAHA

Hellbound Time Jump Explained Hellbound creator Yeon Sang-ho may come from a feature film background, but you wouldn’t know it from the six-part supernatural horror series’ impeccable pacing, including a mid-season time jump that gives the drama new narrative life just when the world’s horror is perhaps becoming too much. Whether you’ve completed all six episodes of the Netflix series or are looking for some mid-season guidance following the end of Episode 3, here’s what you need to know… When is Hellbound Set? The first half of Hellbound is set in 2023. In Episode 1, it is mentioned that the New Truth Society has been investigating “demonstrations” for a little over 10 years. It is also mentioned that the society was founded in 2012. How Much Time Passes in the Hellbound Time Jump? At the end of Episode 3, Hellbound jumps abruptly into the future. In the episode’s final scene (a scene we will revisit in Episode 4), TV broadcaster Youngjae is stuck in traffic. He notices a statue of three demon-monsters outside his car window, and mutters something disparaging about the New Truth. We immediately know that a good chunk of time has passed—at least the amount of time necessary to build a statue and for the New Truth to be well-known enough for a casual, weary mention. Later, we discover four years have passed in that time jump. What Year is It After the Hellbound Time Jump? After the time jump, we see a mention of the exact year when Professor Gong returns to Hankuk University where a “2027 Academic Year Kickoff Ceremony” banner is hanging. The New Truth Society Explained In Episode 3, we learn about how Jeong Jinsu came to know about the “demonstrations,” and why he decided to create the New Truth Society. Jinsu was abandoned as a child… by his mother… at a carnival. As he tells Detective Jin prior to his death, he lived his life at a Catholic orphanage, following all of the rules so that his mother would come back for him. But she never did, and when Jinsu was a teenager, an angel came to prophecies his death in 20 years. After that, Jinsu traveled the world looking for answers. He observed different demonstrations, hoping to find a way around his coming death—or at least a reason for it. In the end, he could find none, so he created one. As he tells Detective Jin, he made the unilateral decision for humanity: “If there is no legitimate reason behind this phenomenon, would people be able to accept it? I think they will start rioting and panicking. There has to be a reason. They need to believe that this phenomenon occurs to make the world a better place. They need to believe that it occurs so that justice can be served.” While Jinsu claims he is doing it for the good of humanity, the argument doesn’t hold much weight. He leaves the New Truth Society in the hands of Pastor Kim Jeongchil, a man who is willing to trade Min Hyejin’s life for the position. We never see Jinsu show any empathy or care for another human, but instead see him gain satisfaction from the manipulation of the people around him. He convinces Heejung to take part in the murder of her mother’s killer, and enjoys lording that fact over Detective Jin. “I don’t know why god is doing this, but I want every person in this world to feel the same fear as mine,” Jinsu tells Detective Jin, adding: “It’s that fear that will set people free from sin.” But does Jinsu really believe that? Or does he simply feel alone in his suffering, and wants to make other people suffer too? “I’m going to leave the world to your free will,” he tells Jin. But he’s not, is he? He has left Jin a world purposefully shaped to be predisposed against any explanation or philosophy other than that of the New Truth. He has used his time as an adult condemned to die in order to ensure that more people suffer, and feels nothing in the face of that suffering. He has hidden his anger and hate and hunger for power behind the veneer of civility, and called it righteousness. source For this article, I like the bit that dissect Jung Jin Su's intentions and also the article in the above post about the danger of religious fanatism. When the scene of the baby being sentenced to death, it immediately reminded me of the movie, Da Vinci Code where the Opus Dei tried to conceal the truth of Jesus divinity to protect the Vatican. Likewise, the New Truth will sure want to cover this up as it means the downfall of the power they have over the society and people.

Thanks @abs-oluteM for your insights as a teacher. It doesn't seem like both are marrying out of love too. This is part of Sung Jae's character description: 윤수와의 결혼 역시 성재의 승부욕이 지켜낸 결과물이다. 성재의 배경에 부담을 느끼고 떠나려는 윤수와의 실연을 패배와 좌절로 인식한 성재의 승부근성이 발동했기 때문이다. 결국 아버지의 뒤를 이어 정계 진출을 하겠단 약속까지 하며 윤수와의 결혼을 밀어붙였다. 그런데 결혼을 앞두고 듣게 된 청천벽력 같은 사실. 윤수와 그녀의 제자인 고등학생 사이에 스캔들이라니. 근거 없는 헛소문일 뿐이라며 믿지 않았으나, 사람들의 입방아에 오르내리는 그녀의 이름에 자존심이 상하고 집안에서 비난까지 받으며 마음이 무너진다. 윤수에 대한 믿음은 원망으로, 사랑은 집착으로 점점 변해간다. The marriage to Yoon-soo is also the result of Sungjae's desire to win. I felt burdened by Sungjae's background and I wanted to leave Yoonsu's This is because Sungjae's fighting spirit, which was recognized as defeat and frustration, was triggered. In the end, he pushed ahead with his marriage to Yoon-soo, promising to succeed his father in politics. However, the facts like a bolt from the blue that I heard ahead of marriage. A scandal between Yunsu and her student, a high school student. I didn't believe it was just groundless rumors, Her name, which is known as the mouth of people, My pride is hurt and my heart collapses as I am criticized by my family. Belief in Yoon-soo gradually turns into resentment and love into obsession.

Hellbound Ending Explained If you think you know where Hellbound, Netflix‘s new supernatural horror series, is going, you’re probably wrong. At the end of six, high-intensity episodes, the Korean drama races towards its unpredictable, snowy conclusion in the backstreets of Seoul, leaving fans with both a satisfying (and surprisingly hopeful) ending to the first season as well as so many lingering questions about what might happen in a potential second season. Here’s everything that went down in the Hellbound season finale… Sohyun’s Baby Survives the Demonstration If you went into the final episode of Hellbound believing that this show was actually going to show a baby getting murdered by monsters, then you weren’t alone. The brutality of this Netflix series is noteworthy, and I wasn’t sure where they would draw the line. In the end, it was at baby murder. In Episode 6, Sohyun is initially intending to accept the death of her baby, but, at the last minute, she decides against standing passively by. She dives in front of one of the incoming demon-monsters, scooping her baby away from its brutal clutches. She, husband Youngjae, and lawyer/badass Min Hyejin manage to fight the three monsters off for a few minutes, as Kim Dongwook’s neighbors bear witness with their eyes and smartphones. But they can only fight off the monsters for so long. Eventually, Youngjae and Sohyun make it their final action to protect their baby, aka Toughie. They secure the newborn between the two of them, and Youngjae ties their family together. When the monsters use their light-powers to burn the baby, Toughie survives, truly earning her moniker. Youngjae and Sohyun die in the effort. Dongwook Believes He is a Messiah source

New stills E6 Pre-release preview

ARGHHHH. What the heck is that at the end? Not only nothing was answered. More questions are raised. The thing I hate about these Netflix dramas are — they ended as if it's going to be seasonal but made no promises they will have the next season!

I'm wondering if both organisations are going to make use of the baby. One would want to prove it was all BS of the New Truth through displaying how can a new born be sinned. While New Truth would want to hide the truth.

Sigh, tvN just keeps deleting OTP scenes

I notice there's so much violence in this show. But it's not just this, also Sweet Home and Squid Game. It got me wonder is it really necessary to depict so much violence on screen? Obviously whatever those 3 creatures are, I'm also hoping it will have an explanation why they chose to execute their actions in such a violent manner when they could've just burnt the body immediately.

2021.11.20 The Swoon Jenga Game Preview

@Chocolate WHUT?! I thought he's the main cast! This did cross my mind. But the fact that there was some white "thing" (doesn't look anything like an angel to me) appear to announce the time of death is real which is why I thought maybe the sins bit might still be true. I prioritised Happiness over Hellbound so I'll continue with Hellbound now.

Hahaha @JenL glad to see you back here! Don't forget you haven't written your thoughts from Episode 9-12. @ktcjdrama Hmm yeah, the two father-daughter scenes were the best. These were the scenes that really got me emotionally. Although not an Oppa, I quite like Lee Pil Mo as well but he's playing more of a secondary/tetiary roles these days. Look forward to more of your thoughts! Something to lure you back... lol

Thanks for the tag @JenL and a good read of your thoughts. Yoon Su helps Seung Yoo more not just because he's a bit special (in the sense that he needs a bit more help to reconnect with the world due to his trauma) but also because Ye Rin was being cold and unapproachable. I can see Yoon Su was super passionate and has good intentions but it's getting more and more complicated now because Seung Yoo obviously likes her romantically. Aw man, really? A teacher can't even hug a student in primary school? It's just primary and hugs are meant to be comforting and encouraging gesture. This reminds me so much on what the writer of Healer said about why she inserted the focus on "touch" because these days we spend too much time conveying feelings through technologies. Love what you said about the show is connecting Maths to arts, buildings and literatures. I most definitely did not grew up to learn and appreciate Maths the way Melancholia presented it. I probably would have liked Maths so much more if I had a teacher like Yoon Su. To be honest, I don't quite get Seung Yoo's speech in episode 4. Hahahaha. I mean I don't get the significant or whether it was delivered better than others. Maybe because Maths just all the time. Yoon Su's relationship with her fiance is destined to doom, not because of Seung Yoo or the upcoming scandal but they are just very different people. Not all relationships fail because the people are too different but this one, the fiance just does not care or is interested in Yoon Su's world. I find him overly self-centered. I think that's the major issue. True that... even I was like "Wow"... Director Noh's office is filled with plants. So weird. The office felt too dark actually, the light shielded by all the botanicals.

Episode 5 Another episode jam-packed with thrills. In my memory I feel quite indifferent when watching zombie films but maybe because this is a drama and it allows more time for me to connect and like the characters, I've grown to care so much about Hyun and Sae Bom. Even more worried when it's revealed Han Tae Seok's team had not been successful in their search for a cure! OMG. Noooo! When they met the infected people who were temporary back to normal; when they ran from the zombies at the supermarket, it was unnerving and worrisome, especially Yi Hyun because he's most likely not going to have the antibodies like Sae Bom! The sound Min Ji made distraught not just the residents, even I was affected until Hyun smashed the phone on the ground. source So Yi Hyun's outbreak was totally understandable. That bastard...!!! That Oh Ju Hyung.... gaaaaaah.... I want to call him so many names but I feel like there's no such names befitting of his despicable behaviour! So want to punch him. Hyun should just throw him out the building and feed him to the zombies! Nonetheless it felt good that Yi Hyun smeared the blood on his face. This actor is so good at being hateful. He should win an award as the best/most annoying villain. Oh, here you go guys @Tofu @stroppyse @abs-oluteM @ktcjdrama ... it's not Jang Tae Jin (Dali & Gamjatang) for me, it's definitely this guy! This episode also reveals the gym personal trainer is the representive's brother whom she didn't want anyone to know. He continues to be fishy. Also, isn't it strange that unit 1501 never comes down for the meeting? He was briefly mentioned in the preview or this episode but now I can't even remember what it was about. The other character that I find getting on my nerves is the old man from unit 302. His voice adds to the annoyance as well. All he does is complain. When he complained someone should go and see what's going on outside, I really wanted to say to him (if I was there) that he should go then. 💢 The lawyer and the representative are also competing to be on the top 3 of most annoying characters. Is there something important in this image we should be aware of? @abs-oluteM Any deleted scenes again? :(

@Lynne @Chocolate How far in are you guys now? I'm done with episode 2 last night and was sad to find out the Detective's daughter played by Lee Re participated in murder. If these creatures are really from hell to punish the sinners then why, Yoo Ah In and Lee Re, still choose to do this? I get Yoo Ah In's agenda... he's faking the body to look like it was targeted by the creatures so more people would believe him. Still, I don't get why since the other woman has already agreed to let him film her live. That's going to be enough proof even though we don't know what crime she has committed (or did at all). Edit: I suppose I might find out when I watch it all. LOL
