  1. Yes, she played the mute PA in Adamas. I didn't know it was her, just found her familar until I googled. Not super smart, but she is quite observant and perserveres. She is also aggressive, so not very likeable in the first few episodes of Devil's Play too - I think her association with Ha Seok Jin helped the audience like her more. In real life, apparently she has 10 patents for some sheet masks. She also said after 10 years in the industry, it is only now that she feels like a celebrity. Hahaha, you forget, I suffered through 40 episodes of Never Gone! That was worse than the spy one, so I am all tapped out. In addition, if I need to get Elvis Han fix, I just re-watch Fake It lol. But this also shows I am not superficial - there's only so much I will do for a pretty face - needs to have some substance supporting it! But you're both right, I'm searching Ha Seok Jin now ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Š I'm in a reality show phase now. Maybe because work is very busy, I don't have energy to immerse in a drama. Reality is light enough. I even watched Physical 100 ๐Ÿ˜‚
  2. Seems Devil's Play has raised his profile. Hopefully he gets more opportunities after this. People are also shipping him with Lee Si Won (for drama, because she is married). @mademoiselle she was Woo Jin Woo's ex-wife in MOTA and also the secretary in Adamas. She was not likeable in both roles. But here she grows on you in Devil's Play.
  3. @SilverMoonTea Is this your oppa? Quite funny ๐Ÿ˜‚
  4. Wow @abs-oluteM you must have been really craving an Elvis Han drama after Fake It, and this came along lol. I stopped at 7 and haven't felt the urge to go on yet. Elvis Han, still good, though his expressions feel very similar to Fake it, except missing the exceptional dialogue. Totally agree. Think this is the reason I don't feel the urgency to chase this drama. The spy story is quite average and draggy, so without a good romance, there is only Elvis Han to look at! ๐Ÿคฃ
  5. Character Posters @abs-oluteM Thread created. I've watched up to ep6. Thought the pacing is a bit slow, but for Elvis Han, I will watch! It's already miles better than Never Gone lol.

  7. Mr & Mrs Chen ๆข…่Šฑ็บขๆกƒ English Title: Mr. & Mrs. Chen Chinese Title: ๆข…่Šฑ็บขๆกƒ Other Titles: ๆข…่Šฑๅ››๏ผŒ็บขๆกƒไบ” Genre: Suspense, Romance, Crime, Thriller Episodes: 32 Duration: 45 min. Director: Jiao Yongliang Writer: Ni Xueli Producer: Zhang Meng Product Company: Youhug Media Released Date: 2023-10-11 Watch On: YOUHUG MEDIA (Youtube) Synopsis In 1940 Shanghai, Chen Jiaping, an underground member of the Chinese Communist Party codenamed โ€œMei Hua Siโ€, is on a mission when he runs into his former fiancรฉe Zuo Shuangtao at a critical moment when he is almost exposed. At this time, Zuo Shuangtao is already a spy of the Kuomintang military system and is looking for a way out of her predicament after a failed assassination mission. They are both unaware of each otherโ€™s identities as spies and rely on the tacit understanding to cope with the Japaneseโ€™s close scrutiny, and eventually pass through as a couple in a shocking manner. The Japanese then force they to marry out of suspicion that they are disguised as a couple, and Zuo Shuangtao enters the merchantโ€™s office as a result of the scheme. Afterwards, Chen Jiaping has to complete his mission, deal with the identity crisis that he has not been able to eliminate, and test Zuo Shuangtaoโ€™s true identity at the same time! The struggle becomes more and more brutal. Eventually Jiaping discovers that Shuangtao is an spy of the military junta, โ€œHong Tao Wuโ€, while Zuo Shuangtao discovers that Jiaping is a Chinese Communist spy, โ€œMei Hua Siโ€. After learning more about the attitudes and contributions of the two parties, Zuo Shuangtao, inspired by her communist beliefs, eventually chooses to fight with Chen Jiaping. They go through trials and tribulations to complete their arduous mission under the leadership of the Party organisation and embark on a new journey together. [source: cpophome] The short version ๐Ÿ˜†: Set in the 1940s, former lovers Zuo Shuang Tao and Chen Jia Ping unexpectedly reunite and rekindle their love in a sea of spies as they pursue the same goals.

  8. Haha me too! In fact, the whole of ep8, I was feeling that the show had lost its intrigue, then bam! at the end, something unexpected! Ep9 was slightly better. In any case, we are finding out some things: Gosh, it's 12 episodes. Was thinking it should end at ep 10 lol.
  9. You're so excited @mademoiselle ๐Ÿ˜‚ Yes haha, they conveniently banged up against the light switch, and then darkness... Yes, the scene next to the BBQ - I thought the kissing was too long in that scene, if it doesn't progress, get's boring after awhile. Actually, I think how the actors kiss in these scenes are likely how they are in real life as well. Like HB, he likes to hold the lady's face at the side, below the ear at the neck - the kiss with SYJ during the wedding also like that. So @mademoiselle, now you know the intimate secrets of your boy! But these korean actors are so tall, it's quite painful to see them bend so much to reach the girls lol.
  10. @mademoiselle For you, I shall check it out and try to be nice ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ Edit: From the gifs in the above post, it does look good! It's open mouth ๐Ÿคช Definitely hotter than the King The Land One hahaha.
  11. Haha I'm watching and up to date. Yes, I cried too! That scene where Jun Mo was hiding behind the wall and peeping into the memorial hall when his wife was greeting Gi Cheul, then she saw him and her lips quivered. How hard that must have been for 2 people who love each other and the support they needed then from each other. I like that this is not such a typical gangster/brotherhood drama. Usually the police undercover would become so close to the gang, that he would be conflicted about arresting the gang. But here, with the wife thrown in as a love interest for Gi Cheul, I think there is no chance of that - Jun Mo almost hates Gi Cheul, he just wants to quickly solve the case and get back with to his wife. But Gi Cheul, I feel sad for what's going to be coming for him.
  12. Anyone watching The Devil's Play on Netflix? It's not bad although some of the games are so difficult I don't even know what is happening lol. I like the way Ha Seok Jin is playing the game. He's not bad looking - why does he not have any hits or major roles? ๐Ÿ˜… He was introduced on The Devilโ€™s Plan due to his impressive past of scoring in the top 1% during his college entrance exams. While having been an actor for 18 years, he majored in mechanical engineering at Hanyang University. Source: https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/the-devils-plan-cast-contestants-netflix-2270051/
  13. It's not anything deep - just that the big boss is usually older than the undercover, and Ji Chang Wook looks older than Wi Ha Joon ๐Ÿ˜‚ But you're right. Either way would work for this drama. I too think that it's difficult to root for just one of the two. Surprised that there is no CCTV in Gicheul's room.
  14. I have doubts about his story. He may have killed the father, but the reason is not likely for the gold bars. He does not seem the greedy sort. There was mention that he had "returned" to doing installation work for the security company - think he and the ex-wife are working on a plan together. The curious thing is what are their intentions - do they just want to stop the experiments? Kim Shin Rok is one the best korean actresses I've seen. I really like watching her. This is my favourite scene. 2 smart people going at each other. Wish it was longer. Agree that Park Sung Hoon is one of the better parts of this drama. It's refreshing to watch a policeman with a clear head and good instincts, and not run after wrong clues/people. I was quite surprised as I didn't think he could ever be a good guy after first watching him in The Glory lol.
  15. I have a question - how does Junmo decide to go undercover without discussing with his wife first?Itโ€™s not like you can say you are on course for a week and then come back as if nothing happened. And for goodness sake, donโ€™t meet in public ๐Ÿ™„ There are so many ways this job could burst - I was on tenterhooks when Gicheul visited the mother in the hospital - she could just pull out a photo of her daughter and husband! That said, the drama is definitely gritty and there are some parts my concentration wavers a bit (maybe 3 episodes in one go is too much lol) but watchable on the overall. And although both JCW and WHJ are doing a good job with the characters, I canโ€™t help but feel that the roles should have been reversed.
  16. @Soju I was just coming here to ask if X's post can be embedded because I can't seem to be able to do so recently. They all appear like this - the link shaded white. https://x.com/buitengebieden/status/1705885168848756855?s=20 But yours is fine. How do you do it? Anyway, in view of your post above, please click on the link ๐Ÿ˜‚
