Warm Paws

I'm not sure how much videos I can make. I was only really able to make comparison videos for MMH. I leave the videos of beautiful, breathtaking moments to people around the internet with much polished filters/effects. I love how some accounts get to capture them and enhance them just right. But here's one comparison I was able to make for episode 1. Plus my extra tweet for those that watched Mouse 😂 Halmoni knows what's up. wink wink. [Ep 2] I really enjoyed ep2. The microphone moment had me cringe so much - imagine covering-face-with-hands-but-peeking-in-between-the-fingers kind of reaction - but I didn't hate that it happened. It actually got me a bit teary-eyed for Mr. Cafe/Singer. His conversation with Hye-Jin towards the end really moved me. Hye-Jin owes a lot to Du-Sik at this point, probably a lot more than what she knows. No chance of her surviving the transition from her move without his help. Du-Sik knows her potential to fit in based on the epilogue from ep1 so its more of just helping her get her on the right footing as Hye-jin's relationship with most of the villagers started off on the wrong foot. And while I was typing the last sentence, I couldn't help but think of @abs-oluteM's comment about the shoes having a deeper meaning! 😂 She'll definitely transform from being miss princess slippers to someone who sees the practicality of wearing rubber bathroom slippers for the place she's in. I do believe that most of Hye-Jin's words and actions during the party were more of her being frank rather than being rude. People do have things they like and dislike, the town folk just misunderstood her reactions. Her friend/assistant did know that those are things Hye-Jin didn't like so it's more of her personal quirks rather than being someone new from the city. Speaking of clothing... what's everyone's thought on the grandmas' comments on Hye-jin's running clothes? Sure leggings look a bit tight but some people definitely wear a lot more skimpy fitness clothes. At least she's actually wearing those clothes while exercising and not just as everyday casual wear. I don't think tight fitness clothes are that new either... at least since half a century or so ago, fitness clothes are more or less the same? Plus, its a seaside village, and people probably wear a lot more revealing casual wear? 🤔 I'm not really being over critical, just curious. 😄 So far the epilogues have been especially nice. I wonder if they'll keep showing us scenes that are effectively known only by the audience for each ending of the episode. I'm not sure how often this is done, but it certainly feels refreshing for me. The episodes (so far) end on a sweet, touching note instead of a cliff hanger, which to me, is certainly welcome. Do we keep all the points @stroppyse mentioned to keep it authentic or do we address them with the power of technology to make it comfortable? 😆😆 I assume though that at this point, a lot of small towns have already addressed them. Especially ones that are in city-folk's radars.

Thanks for mentioning the coffee! I almost forgot about that. 😄😄 His coffee is probably much better than what the cafe owner made. I think most of the work he only does a couple of hours at a time. Like the auction for early morning, sauna late late night, whatever comes his way in between. I don't think it's for the money cause he's probably not making much since they're part-time work and maybe even volunteer work? (Even with the explanation above, I'm still not sure what his official work is with his title 😄) I remember a trip I went to on a small town recently. A lot of shops open late and close early, some are like only 10am to 4pm? Something like that. Majority are even closed on Wednesdays or are open maybe 4-5 days a week? 😄 Felt like a super laid back town to what I'm used to and you'll be forced to rest. I imagine people there can work multiple places full time. Oh yes! I am in need of a good romantic ending. 😄 This made me miss Racket Boys actually. Btw, I'm just curious. I'm not sure how often they make scenes from trailers a bit different from what is actually shown, but I wonder why they didn't use the "Cha Cha Cha" line when Hye-Jin asked Du-Shik if he had a car.

Episode 1 is pretty light and establishes the village pretty nicely. They were able to capture and present the scenery and village life with awe-inspiring cinematography. This one I like because of the "greens" they also show. The scenery doesn't only have to be the sea when you go to a seaside destination. I also like this set of shots of the fishery in action. I always like how they are able to show somewhat unpretty, chaotic, and mundane (to some) scenes in a cinematic manner. I particularly like the shot of the fish in the basins, dunno why. It might look good as a still shot. I hope they continue to show us these kinds of shots, not just as establishing shots in the first episode. Du-sik is the village's Jack of all trades. Like others here, I think the title/nickname given to him is not an official one. It seems he knows each and every one in the village and is someone who is willing and able to help out in different parts of every day life which has earned him that title. At one point I wondered if he is originally from the village or just moved there to enjoy a much simpler life. He knows stuff real well what seems to be much beyond things you'll learn from people around the village. Like speaking Russian (yes, I also assumed it is Russian just because of the spasiba) and how being global is a trend. Sure maybe he is just really smart and handy and can have good conversations with the visitors he meets, and also the internet. I thought it would be an interesting aspect if he wasn't originally from there as well, making him the living proof in the story that you can completely adjust from city-life after moving to the countryside. But his conversation with halmoni sort of says that he's been there since he was a kid, so my point is moot. (or is it? Looking forward for DS' backstory) I'm curious too about the item he ordered and picked up. Is it a piece for the boat he's trying to fix? Why is there a boat there anyway? 😄 I feel like its an actual local POI but in the show, they're showing that DS owns it... unless he's also just helping someone else fix it? Overall, I like the show so far. The interactions between the leads are nice and casual. I certainly did not expect the epilogue though! Romance is in the air (sea breeze??) early on and I like it!

Minor rant in spoilers 😄 I'm just sad to see SH disappoint KH (and their entire team) so openly like that. I can sort of tolerate what usually happens in shows with one not showing up to a very important meeting/promise because of whatever, but here SH straight up left while everyone was watching. 😑 Oh well. I wonder if they'll show how his decision will get some backlash from his classmates too, not just the main characters. Seriously, I feel like everyone should be like... WTF? The cliff hanger sure is surprising. I have no idea who to trust. 😄 I actually got a good laugh from this. Extra emphasis on the loudness cause really, they were supposed to be sneaking. 😄 Joon-wook's imagination gone overboard. Time and time again, kdrama showing us that kissing on the verge of getting caught somehow ends up with things going for the better. 😄

🎵🎈 Congratulations and Celebrations 🎵🎈 JangHaven is truly the best! Amazing community with amazing members. I've met a lot of wonderful people and have learned a lot of good things here. Excellent work by the staff and everyone involved with keeping this site up and running. This place definitely feels more modern and polished than other mainstream sites. Thank you so much for your hard work! 🙏🙏🙏

Aawww. So sweet!

Sharing some more stuff that some people here might be interested in. I found this funny when I saw it. I wish the shot of Jiseok was a bit longer, but it looks like an "aha" moment for him and he decides to use "Stop!" from then onwards. 😆 I've also found more similarities from The Smile Has Left Your Eyes. I might be looking too much into these similar scenes at this point. However, I'll just assume that they're all planned and intentional and I'll be at awe. 😄 This is actually the first show of Jiseok that I have watched. I'm both interested and scared to find out if there are recreated parallel scenes from his past shows. 😅 Anyway. Finding all this stuff has made me appreciate MMH so much more.

Just sharing this here: I wonder if and how the two of them talked about these scenes. The recreated scenes from CTMABAS always feel special for me, maybe because I think that the two of them also have the chance to reminisce? And the thought of that is 😍

I haven't made MMH-BTIMFL vids much, but have made some MMH-CTMABAS and MMH-TSHLYE ones. 😂 I'm still on ep2 of Drinking Solo and I'm thinking if I should branch off there and make comparisons too. For the paintball scene, it's funny how they set up all those cameras but no one saw DM intervene. 😆 I think they could have made team 3 lost but then showed the replay that the fallen guy from team 1 cheated, so then they reversed the win. But, I guess it's more dramatic and effective showing DM's care and concern for SH. Like others here, I'm also pleasantly surprised that the romance between SH and KH is taking off this way. I certainly expected more bickering and pushing-and-pulling. I still haven't watched ep 4 at this point, but based on the comments its developing even much further already?! 😮 SH was also disclosing too much information to Bird. Telling him his life plans, where he's studying, etc. 😆 Why on earth would you say you're entering the Police University to anyone on the dark web, much more a hacking community? I still haven't grasped how close they supposedly are and how they got that close to each other.

I am watching through Viki/Kocowa and the subs are a bit slow. 😄 I've only watched till ep3. I'm enjoying the show so far. I'm loving the main characters, but also the side characters. Team 3 is fun to watch thanks to Seon-ho's buddies. I feel like their entire batch will be joining Dong-man and Seon-ho's fight when it comes down to it. There's so many suspicious people in the University and I feel like the bad guys are already deeply ingrained in the system, so the good guys will probably need all the help they can get. It was last man standing instead of actually capturing the flag. It was down to one on one, but then a fallen guy from the other team was about to cheat by shooting Seon-ho so Dong-man secretly intervened. That guy who was supposed to cheat should have been reprimanded. What I don't know was how the insubordinate team 3 guy got injured to that extent. Did I miss that entirely? I was sort of multitasking so maybe. 😄 I assume he just fell while trying to get the other team's flag.

Yes. I really like their banter and conversations in general. BTS of other on-screen couples I've seen (not that I've seen a lot) are nice, sweet and intimate - I'm thinking something like JS and SM's Singles shoot BTS (?), which I'm having trouble finding now - but JS and SM banter/conversations are just so fun and natural. I think JSM is playful in general and can get really close with her co-stars. That's why they say she's very shippable and there's actual strong and loyal shippers of her with a lot of her co-stars. When you look at MMH BTS, the most distinct and ever-present sound is SM's laugh. It's always so full and pure, and I believe it is such a feel-good enabler for everyone around her. If someone laughs like that at your jokes and silliness, I'm sure its the best feeling. Which is why I think Ji-seok complements her really well. It seems that they are always in sync and their humor is in the same spectrum. I wonder if Jiseok's dad has scene any of the BTS. 😆

Who needs the real name? He can just call her jagiya or something. 😉 I still find it hard noticing these terms of endearment. The most that stands out for me are yeobo and nam/yeochin. It probably changes a bit depending on our mood while we take the test. Especially on the J and P part? It changed for you and Somin, I actually retook it now and I got J as well instead of my usual P. 😄 The questions can be difficult to answer sometimes, but the ones I'm usually more sure of are the I/E questions. Some say the test is worthless 😄 still fun and interesting though.

Here's my little contribution for Little Forest's second anniv. I'm sure a lot of us thought that the Monthly Magazine Home ending could have been something like this. Young-won with a beautiful wooden house, baby/ies in hand, hubby comes home from work... 😂 But I'm also sort of glad they didn't. Cause it remains to be Little Forest's sweet touch.

I've always liked this video. Her answers are almost exactly what I would have answered. 😂 She says she's INFJ, but in the video her results are INFP-T, which is exactly what I am, that's why I like the video. 😆😆😆

Hi! Sharing some stuff I've posted on Twitter. I made this video putting together scenes from multiple scenes from CTMABAS and the one from the ending of MMH. I had a funny thought that they could have missed each other like this for 10 years until actually meeting each other: So then, I actually put them side by side like all the parallel scenes and I found something that humored me: Sorry, I still have not found how to post a single tweet when its a reply to another tweet. But take a look especially at the last part where they found the item. Seriously... 😂😂😂 I had a good laugh when I saw them side by side. Those people are crazy. (for good and bad reasons that I can think of 😅)

Thanks @Ayame I've been wondering if they'll release something like this. So happy! Funny that the prices from all three links are different. 🤔

Thank you @Ayame ! My heart skipped when I read what the prize was. 😄 Why do I feel like Somin and Ji-seok will still do something cheesy together with their autographs? 😄 @abs-oluteM

Watcha mean? More pls. 🤣

@abs-oluteM they really look like they live in their own little world. Everyone else working and being serious, meanwhile those two... 😂

Ah. Maybe you can try "want to slurp some noodles? wink wink" 😄😄😄 Sounds so bad.

@ktcjdrama so true! "My dad hurt you so much... So I'll hurt you even more!" 🙃🙃🙃 I've been wondering though. Are we supposed to think that the dad really just run away and hide? I think at some point a boat accident was mentioned, but he looks all good and well. So is he a good person or not? Can he really be forgiven? Cause if not, then I'm soooorrt of getting Young-won's embarrassment? But even so, the statement above that her choice is to hurt him more still makes it seem selfish for me. Oh well

No no. From what I understand, the point is to get the other person inside your place/ house. It's the act of inviting, which then leads to THE act. 😂😂😂 So I don't think you'll use it once you're already alone together... but I dunno. 😅 I found him... alright (?) in general. But when it came to his interations with Mira, I disliked him. Their ending scene, for me, did Mira injustice. It made her character fickle or shallow or something... LOL. IKR. While I was making some alternate reality clips, I realized how long the scenes were. Young-won walking around the park (?) took so long. 🤣 Actually, I like that some people here like Ui-joo and Sang-soon. Personally, I wasn't that emotionally invested in them (as a couple) through-out the show, so the amount of coverage and emphasis they had on the last episode threw me off extra. One consolation for me is that OTP just really looks nice together in the last scene, considering...

Oh woops. Sorry. Yes! 10 hours from now. But what I meant was it was supposed to original air July?

I have no idea why I put this on my potential watchlist earlier. I don't really know the cast aside from Cha Tae Hyun, didn't look at the synopsis or anything. I think I just liked the posters when it was first posted here. Since the airing got moved (right?) to tomorrow, the timing is actually pretty good for me. I'll be joining you all here! Looking forward to it. 😁

😄😄 I like this BTS episode. Too much sweetness and touching.
