    @oppasaranghaeyo so does this mean that Kim Tae Yoo is just looking to be adored as a 'hero'???? So all these student protests were only to inflate his ego or something?? I don't quite get it. Why the need to become a 'hero' anyway? Unless, for example: he wanted to occupy a prominent position or get more money etc?? I hope they'll explain this revelation further in the next 2 eps. 

    It does appear to be so @SnowBlob First, he wants to be someone so important to be able to have a discussion with the president himself. Then he wants to be a national hero, the people's hero. *puke*

    With all that, I'm sure he's also looking to gain power and some form of high position, and that which will come with access to tons of money. So in short, he seeks recognition, money and power, all in the guise of patriotism. Aren't these what politicians of the world really strive for? Most of them, I mean. There are but a small number who really do work for the people's benefit and the country's well-being. 

     

    Yeah, I too hope to see more revelation on what drove KTY to act the way he did, and which eventually cost him his life. Well, if you deal with the devil (IHR), what else is there to look forward to other than death? But my gosh, he was cruel, almost psychopathic in that he was ready to negotiate away the only evidence that could save the life of Hwang. KTY was more than ready to let Hwang die!

    Even until the end of ep 14, it seems the bad guys are still ahead of the good guys. Now the only evidence that can implicate Im Hyung Rak is the tablet PC, is that right? I mean the ex-NIS agent lady and HJH could always testify but the testimonies alone wouldn't be able to serve his due punishment. LOL..honestly I dislike it when a drama serves us only one thing that can implicate a person... 

     

    True. It appears that tablet PC is the only solid piece of evidence, plus the paperwork on Widow's Cruse Project, I suppose. But now we also have evidence of IHR personally going to the airport to claim the luggages (of cash?) from PWJ's return trip. When I saw that, I was thinking why he would do that himself? How arrogant of him to think that no CCTV or no one would question that act? Also, we have the smart work of HJH, his voice recording of the 3 baddies on the golf ground. So IHR is chasing after his presidential dream! 

     

    I do hope that video tape showing IHR murdering KTY (back in 1991) that YJ meant to pass on to YS at the amusement park has a copy lying around somewhere, somehow. Shouldn't YJ have taken a condensed video off the screen as well, and not just photos off the screen? 

     

    I don't know why YS told YJ that her testimony would not be enough to nail IHR. I thought there would be other testimonies too, like those of PJ's team such as JH and YG, who worked on the operation together with IHR's team. But I guess even if the testimonies are in sync, a higher bar is needed to convict a high government official which the CIO is tasked to do.

    I was about to say that YS has a really good team but now I wonder if Chu Dong Woo betrayed her - was he the one who warned  Im in advance about the raid on his house.

    I hope not. Wasn't DW the one who initially acted as a mole for those 3 baddies, and then realized YS is a good, sincere, and brave CIO Chief, and he then left that mole hole? I think it was IHR's minion who alerted him about the raid. 

     

    What stood out to me:

    • I'm just so happy that YS and JH have worked out their misunderstanding. Although JH was wrong to begin with, way back (in 1989?) when he fell in love with YS. He did give up everything for YS. What YJ told YS on the rooftop was so on point. YJ told YS not to just focus on why JH hid the truth from her, but what he has given up to be with her. YJ is a true romantic all the way lol.
    • I'm also glad to see tough YS taking on, head on, that evil and corrupt IHR. She was so cool when she told IHR in reply to his question, "Are you threatening me?": YS said, "It wasn't a threat. I'm declaring war."  YO!:love: 

     

    :smug:You go girl! :cool: Can't wait for more!

    Is Kim taeyeol a bad guy or is it Im hyungrak manipulating things?

    How could it be IHR's manipulation at that time, in this specific case? It was KTY who tried to manipulate others to achieve his goals. In the end, not only did tons of students die during the protests and in the name of patriotism, KTY himself paid the price too, although in his case, for double-dealing and pretending to be a patriot, he deserved it.

    What do you think of Kim Tae Yool? I think it will be really interesting if he's also a dodgy character...in that way both young JH and YS were 'serving' dodgy people. 

    Where did you get your crystal ball? I want to buy it, too. Haha. I had my suspicion about KTY but it wasn't deep. Then ep 14 woke me up! Yup. What a twist at the end of ep 14. You'll love it!

     

    21 hours ago, abs-oluteM said:

    I believe YS knows now the real murderer of Kim Tae Yol.

    Yup. YS knows for sure by ep 14. YS met up with GYJ who confirmed the photos she emailed to her were taken off the screen, but the video she intended to pass on to YS is no longer in her possession, and that she has no concrete evidence on IHR now, though she'd be YS' witness at trial. YS told YJ that would still not be enough to nail IHR. They need more.

     

    Anyway, with time on my hand (not the kind that I would have hoped for but am still thankful for), I finally binged through it all, up until the current aired episode 14. I will just jump to the ending of ep 14 which stood out to me the most. Yup. I was shocked and dumbfounded. I felt as if I was "betrayed" by KTY. I felt sad for the students who had sacrificed their lives and livelihood for a real cause, yet none was even aware that they were taken for a ride. I felt like I was CYS' heart and it was ripped out of her! OMG! Well, that's how good this drama is! I LOVE IT!:heart:

     

    SPOILERS:

    Ep 14's prologue started with the meeting between KTY and IHR back in 1991. And it showed how sly IHR was to have hidden a voice recording device in his cigarette box, and which he used to record their convo.

    IHR-and-KTY-convo1.png

    Ep 14 also ended with this same meeting. And what a twist! IHR sent YS that voice recording he made of the convo with KTY. While I absolutely love it, I feel bad for all the students, including YS, who believed (and many had died) in KTY and his advocacy. 

     

    SPOILERS Here's the very interesting convo that YS received from IHR, and which she was listening to with JH:

    IHR-and-KTY-convo.png

    Spoiler

    (Sneaky IHR had hidden a recording device inside his cigarette box. And of course, he’d deleted the beginning of the recording where KTY talked about Hwang Jung-ho being setup for murder by IHR, the prosecution office and the police. But who'd have known that KTY was just as sneaky and two-faced? In front of his minions, he appeared to be trying to regain Hwang Jung-ho's innocence, to get him out of jail, but...  He had signaled his minions to leave the room, and then he pushed an envelope to IHR, and started the convo...)

    KTY: Isn’t the trial still ongoing?

    IHR: May I have a cigarette first?

    (IHR offers KTY a cig)

    KTY: No thanks. I’m fine.

    KTY: The genuine suicide note left behind by Young is sufficient evidence to overturn Hwang Jung-ho’s case. 

    IHR: Why do you, KTY, want to let me see it?

    CYS: Brother TY? 

    KTY: Does NIS want it? I’d like to have some advice from you, IHR.

    IHR: If you give it to us, Hwang Jung-ho will be sentenced to death.

    KTY: There’s no other way. The country is the priority.

    CYS: There’s no other way? Is that really KTY? 

    IHR: What do you want?

    KTY: I want to meet someone.

    IHR: Who?

    KTY: The president of SK.

    IHR: You want to see His Excellency?

    KTY: Isn’t that interesting? But what’s more interesting is that the suicide note would set Hwang Jung-ho free. When that happens, more heated and bloody protests would be started by the university students.

    CYS: What exactly is…

    KTY: At that time, I wouldn’t know what would happen, either. Using the current condition, I would have a live televised discussion with the president.

    HJH: YS…

    CYS: I’m fine.

    IHR: In that case, it means you are using the evidence that could set Hwang Jung-ho free as a bargaining chip for your live televised discussion with the president, so that the entire country can watch it?

    KTY: That’s right.

    IHR: Do you think that’s possible?

    KTY: Why not? The president also feels burdened by the current chaotic situation.

    IHR: What do you want to say?

    KTY: I want to tell him what the people want and what the people are unsatisfied with. If he would say, “Yes, I understand it. I will accept your suggestions and do better.” Wouldn’t he then become a great and magnanimous leader? A president who is willing to discuss and listen to a university student, and willing to accept his suggestions to do better.

    IHR: You are using this discussion with the president to show the people that you are their leader, their hero who advocates living together in harmony. Aren’t you?

    KTY: This is what I call a “Win-Win” deal.

     

    It goes to show how everyone is a flawed human. Every human is greedy in some way. Every "politician/advocate" has their own hidden and dark agenda, and not least of all, how conceited and deceitful one can be.

    PS:

    Spoiler

    REMEMBER ALL OF THAT. DRAMAS DO TEACH US GOOD STUFF.

     

    I am so in love with this Korean version, so in love with the main 4 leads (the young and current OTPs) that were chosen to star in it, and of course, including IHR and DYG, too. It shows how skillful and creative the crew/cast can be, and how a similar plotline can be presented in extremely different and interesting way, yet not veering off the main theme. Kudos to all involved!

  3. Hi all! :love:

     

    Never thought I'd be bingeing on this drama at this time, but I did. I am blown away by the superb chemistry between the two main leads, and the plot that encompasses a real historical event. OMG! The plot is so gripping, you just want to watch on and on and on. Then I realize it is only a 12-episode drama. What? Why? This is too good to end so quickly. Hope there'll be a season 2. I don't think 2 more episodes would be enough to wrap it up well. We'll see... And I want more of HT+MH (and their cute little brothers too). 

     

    Actually, the brother and sister duo, Soo Chan and Soo Ryeon, are awesome as well. I can't help but wish these four would have formed two cute little couples, but fate never does make it easy for lovers, or indeed, for most. My heart aches for HT and MH, but also for SC as well.  

     

    Also, I never knew a drama would bring me back into digging into history and what had happened. But I did for this drama. What happened in Gwangju Uprising was such a shame! Then again, that's not the sole shameful historical event in SK, nor the world. Politics, what a "game!" A downright dirty and deadly "game!"

     

    Looking forward to the finale week and also to more projects from this writernim, and this superb cast/crew.

  4. Hello "Mine" lovers :love:

     

    I was initially hesitant to start watching this drama while it's on-air because of its writernim Baek. I was "badly burned" by her My Love Eun Dong drama's final couple of episodes some years ago (though it was still a good watch). I wanted to start only after knowing how she'd end this drama. However, since I'm a huge fan of both the lady leads, LBY and KSH, and my curiosity got the better of me, I started watching it when it premiered. I've just completed ep 3 and so far, I'm loving it, though I'm cautious about loving it too much because of MLED's experience lol.

     

    I've much to say but I also want to get on with catching up with Undercover first. Join us at that thread if you are also watching it.

     

    For now, I'm struck by the beginning of ep 1 (the mysterious death! which gave me a flashback of The Penthouse lol), the ending of ep 2 (that revelation! whoa! are Kdramas trending toward "boldness" with social issues like sexual orientation, divorces and affairs, etc?), and the ending of ep 3 where JSH is...

    Spoiler

    staring into that infamous painting across the hallway, and I think with Mother Emma's narration which foretells quite a bit. If I'm not wrong, Mother Emma talks about Hyowon family being tainted and transformed one by one, where "black" is tainting "white" and where "white" is being mixed with "black" until everyone is imperceptibly, silently, and unconsciously being transformed. I take it that "black" means evil and bad, while "white" means pure and good. As of now, I thought the two FLs are good people. Will they be tainted too?   


    Be back to catch up with you all, and this thread. Happy Watching and Good Weekend! :wow:

  5. The segment I'm most excited about is this:

    Best Screenplay/剧本奖:
    Kim Su-jin – Beyond Evil/金秀珍《怪物》
    Kim Eun-jung – My Unfamiliar Family/金恩贞《了解的不多也无妨 是一家人》
    Yoo Jung-hee – Flower of Evil/刘晶熙《恶之花》
    Jo Yong – It's Okay to Not Be Okay/赵容《虽然是精神病但没关系》
    Ha Myung-hee – Record of Youth/河明熙《青春纪录》

     

    Of these five dramas, I've just completed Beyond Evil and IOTNBO but have yet to complete Record of Youth. Of those I've watched in full, I still think MUF has an awesome script (and plot and cast) and I hope the writer and the drama team would win something, somehow. 

     

    :thinking:The vibe I am feeling, despite the plague of scandals pertaining to one, is the "mental disorder" rather than the "dysfunctional family" drama would win this award, if not sweep even more. I hope it's the 2nd covid-vax I had recently that's making me feel off-kilter lol. Jokes aside, there are elements in this script (and ofc many other scripts too lol) that I dislike, not least of all is the oft-used cliche of childhood connection, and worse of all, to me at least, certain scenes that amounted to sexual harrassment that are accepted by many as "romantic" or "feministic" or even "comical" are just troubling/puzzling to me. Or, is it really "Okay to Not Be Okay" in viewing such behavior with alternate (i.e. indifferent or double standard) lens?

     

    I love BE and FOE too, and wish SHK, YJG, GJK and MCW could win something too, but the connection isn't as strong as for MUF, or even IOTNBO. I guess the sibling-rivalry to disconnection to dynamic, and the OTP's plot have been the pull for me in MUF. Whatever happens and whoever wins, I'd be happy for them all. Always grateful for K-dramas and K-ent. Please keep writing, acting, filming, buzzing... and make us more "addicted" to your "crack" lol (awesome projects).:laugh:

    Anyone watching it live? I hope to, if available in my region. 

     

     

    PSST: I hope BinJin will make a surprise appearance somehow. :heart:

    I'm torn between two very different dramas - Flower of Evil and Unfamiliar Family.

    Me too, though I've watched only 3 out of the 5 nominated thus far, I also find these 2 so very different, but are both very good. I ended up voting for UF cos the drama touched me on many fronts, not least of all the "unfamiliar" family in focus, and also the OTP and the sisters.

    I'm actually glad that there are some good people around YS (or will be).. apart from her family, the policeman who is still digging into Cha Min Ho seems to be an upright cop. The other one is the investigation bureau's guy, Chu Dong Woo. I read on Asianwiki that this guy is part of the CIO. So I'm guessing YS would be his boss if she's chosen. I want to believe that YS' old friend, Kang Choong Mo is a good guy too and so his boss Secretary General Kim Myung Jae. And of course reporter Min Sang A is YS' close friend. So YS will have some support from good people across different roles/jobs and I like that. It evens out the playing field because the bad guys are indeed many and powerful too! :pandacop:

    Me too. I'm glad. Unfortunately, the field is never evened out, so to speak. The big difference between the good and the bad - the ruthlessness, evilness within the hearts of the baddies. They would never "play by the rules" and would go as foul as "murder to eliminate the good" and so I do fear for CYS and HJH, and those good folks around them.

    It was clear in eps 3 that one of the main reasons Jung Hyun fell for  Yeon Soo and she in turn was attracted to him was because they both share similar ideals and values. Both have a desire to help and to serve , and both care for others beyond themselves.

    Exactly! I have my doubts though. I would say with full confidence that this is the case for CYS. However, with HJH, it is still unclear what he did back then, apart from being involved in that drug bust operation, that he needed to emerge with a new ID.

    5eca0cb8gy1gq5ndt6uixj20o00g0dl0.jpg

     

    What's more complicated, to me at least lol, is why did he use his new ID to infiltrate the students' protest to tail KTY, and in so doing, to get to know CYS and KCM? I thought his involvement (not sure to what extent atm) in KTY's death was the reason for his new ID?

    So the ex-NIS lady, Go Yoon Joo, is no longer an NIS agent due to her using heroine right? And wasn't the 'mark' on her wrist in 1991, an injection site mark? So it could be that due to her undercover role, she got addicted to the heroine? 

    Right. GYJ was fired once she became addicted to drugs. The sad part was that her addiction was due to the nature of her "undercover" job. I thought it was ludicrous for her to be fired for that reason, let alone putting her in danger of health and harm.

    :shocked2:GYJ was apparently an ex-lover of HJH, if plot stays true to its BBC original. I am curious to find out if that was before or after HJH fell for CYS.

    Why am I still watching this drama ? What went wrong ? Plot maybe. The unexplained reason why the ML must die . The weird pacing . 

    Hahahahahaha I ask myself this question every week, and more than once per episode. I don't have the answer because I still find myself watching on, and hoping for something to click where the genre ROM-COM is concerned. My "bias" take (at least for me) would be that we are watching on because of the main leads, the main OTP. I've been waiting for this pairing ever since they've confirmed taking on this project. Now I don't care what the ending will be or where the plot will lead me/us. I am not giving up because I've come this far! 

     

    Still, Nana and LMK make the watching enjoyable, even when the plot sucks.

    PS: I hope to see you two pair up again in a future project, a better project. Saranghaeyo!:heart:

     

    One factor is becoming clearer and clearer through the years (to me): K-authors are lousy at endings or toward endings. Though not all of them, there are many of them I'd put in this "basket". They could start a story well, and they could reel viewers in without any problem, but as the plot develops toward the end (or should I say "go haywire" lol), it seems we have case after case of too many hands/heads spoiling the broth, perhaps? Or, disruption by external forces? 

    I just feel so bad for the cast when such a case happens, as it clearly is with "Oh My Ladylord". :cry:Writernim Jo Jin Kook was the same writer who brought us "Soulmate" which I loved immensely even though I discovered and watched it (in 2015) almost a decade after it had created a storm (2006)! His most recent project "Lonely Enough to Love" was quite a letdown, but once again I made it to the end because of the main leads. What a far cry from Soulmate LEtL and OML have been! I'd hoped writernim would do better with Nana and LMK, but... :shocked2:

     

    :love:

    @Tofu I resisted (for a long while) the temptation to respond to your "call" for opinion. But, as you can see, I could no longer hold it in... lol. :popcorn:

     

     

    Lastly, I too want to find out what the heck is wrong with HBS. Did that white truck of doom really hit him? Are we watching a fantasy genre, not a rom-com? Is he really dying? Or are we to hope for a "rebirth" or "reawakening" of sorts from the clue of 49 days?:thinking:

With KHJ and JJH, plus HSH and YWJ at the helm of this suspenseful drama, it's literally bleeding me dry with tears of utter enjoyment! This cast is perfect, all 4 of them, especially the reunited OTP. Of course, not to disregard the good ensemble of supporting cast, for without them, the drama would not be of as high a caliber as this is. Yup, even from just Ep 1, the thrill is my crack right now lol! Btw, I have not watched the original BBC series this Korean remake is based on. Perhaps I may now that my intrigue is piqued...

    :wow:

    I knew I just had to prioritize and watch it. I'm glad I did. After all, having waited for so long... about 6 years... for the reunion of KHJ and JJH since their awesome collaboration in "I Have A Lover" which I'd recommend highly to anyone who likes the genre and has yet to watch it. Me? I've watched it I think 3 times already and have listened to the OST album countless times since then. The drama and its compilation of OST are superb!

    :love:

    I'll be back to do a lil recap after Ep 2, if time permits.

    Love this drama! :hearties:

    Actually Ji Jin Hee was sort of oppa before, also Yeon Woo Jin. So see if Undercover can make me adopt them all back this year? :pandahappy:

    JJH is always my oppa, no matter what drama, or which character. He has won me over, time and time again.

    And I can't wait for his "reunion" with KHJ in Undercover. Woot! It's been a long wait :smile:

    Oppa, are you awake yet? Coffee, tea or me? :laugh:

    I love the OTP, and somehow the adult sickness was brought up in hopeful light that didn't feel that bad. ( I hate sickness plot tbh, as real life already tough, so don't wish to watch makjang drama ). 

     

    True. And why so many peeps are getting sick in OML? I hope LMK/HBS isn't "really" sick, or hope it's not terminal.

    I love his character. I really dislike that she can't make up her mind yet to choose him lolss....

    Me too. I thought she fell for him already. Quite a sudden "switch" of affection, or should I say, "expansion" lol.

    Every time a male celebrity shows off too much skin or has questionable outfits in their photoshoot, I am going to think of this.  :laugh:

    #WuLei voices his objections indignantly in latest interview - “It’s too much now. I just shot for a magazine. The clothes for magazines now are too much. It’s opened till here. I said, that’s not okay. It’s not keeping to male ethics.”

    So proud of our Wu Lei for voicing up! I too think that overexposure is a turn-off, more than a turn-on. I loved Wu Lei since his Fights Break Sphere days, and I am happy to see him as Ashile Sun. However, the pairing still hasn't "reeled me in" yet. BUT, I think it's more a case of too many dramas to watch lol. I have to complete watching a couple other Cs (not to mention a couple other Ks lol) that I've waited for ages before I will start to binge The Long Ballad. I've checked out only the first 2 episodes and I love it - the drama as a whole more than any of the OTPs atm.

    I think Im going to adopt Lee Min Ki soon. His performance on OML kind of moved me. I like his character. 

    Let's ADOPT already! LOL. LMK is soooo cute in OML. I like the pairing of Nana with him too.

    However, I have a prob with the plot development (hope bromance diversion will not be in the works, and will not supersede the main OTP's), and am especially "annoyed" at the inclusion of the "loving" scenes between LMK's assistant and Nana's assistant. I don't see any value-add. Instead, it's quite a turn-off. I wish writernim (the real scriptwriter) will stop going there too often.

    Btw, I read many folks are not too keen on LMK's hairdo for OML. I thought he looks "on point" for his role. :love:

    New teaser guys... for Season 2.

    Thanks for the teaser. It's released earlier than I thought it would be! It looks like "all hell will be breaking lose" lol.

    About time for each respective shoe to drop! Looking forward to June, more than ever.:love:

    I know I will be more mad than I already am lol.

    :smug:Surprises myself with this "prediction". I was so "madly disturbed" that I was in denial for a while. Not denial of the affairs. Those are obvious and should not be condoned. Just denial of the drama's plot progression that's still stuck in the past.

    Or was it too traumatic? 😂

    Haha, to my surprise, it was worse than I thought it would be. Finallty sat through it all without fwdg any bit. As morbid as it may sound, as "painful yet enlightening" as it was to watch all 3 adulterous couples' backstories, or some would say, sadistic pleasure haha, I actually enjoyed S1, and am looking forward to S2.

    Gone bonkers? Perhaps. Sometimes "pain" is a good reliever of stress/boredom/lockdown fiasco, etc. :laugh:

    Just curious to know the status of the 3 couples at the end of the season 😊

    Be back later for a lil fun recap of random thoughts.

    since they are planning S2 , no resolutions yet .

    Haha, best resolution yet. Writernim ran out of juice for her plot, so had to throw in another season to stretch her wild imagination, and ours/viewers, further. lol.

    both look pretty good together i guess

     

    They do look good together. Two of my not-that-many faves together in a drama! :love:

     

    I can already picture these two as a "hot" couple. :wow::hearties:

    image.jpg20190513521442.jpg

     

    And, looking at who the producer is makes me excited for its premiere! Producer Huang Lan has an outstanding portfolio of "hot" (well-produced, popular, controversial, thought-provoking, etc.) dramas like The First Half of My Life (2017, with its season 2 upcoming), Tiger Mom (2015), Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace (2018), The Imperial Doctress (2016), and so on. :love:

    I haven’t been able to find the newly shot episodes. Viu still have the old version. Anyone with info where to watch, I would appreciate it much 🥰

    I'm looking for the newly shot episodes too. I want to pick it up and start all over, though I feel sad about the Ji Soo matter - for him and for the cast - I don't want to miss this seemingly awesome sageuk (and seeing how "active" this thread is speaks volume :love:). I think Viki will bring in the new vids since it's "A Viki Original' title in their lineup of dramas.

     

    Waiting patiently... :cry:

  19. Hmm... I'm only at Ep 2 (slowly watching, and patiently waiting for more to binge) but can't seem to "feel" the main CP's chemie yet. They are both awesome in their roles, but... Part of me silently wished (please don't "bash" me) they were paired differently...:thinking: It is what it is now. Let's hope I will be "struck:wow:" soon... haha

     

    On the other hand, just from Tencent Official Zhou Shen OST MV, I'm already loving the second CP. Can't wait to see more of them. Oh well...:nervous: I'm biased, I guess:MewGiggle:GIF-shipping-cp2.gif

    And...

    Spoiler

    There's a Noble Aspirations 3 and rumored to air soon, though there's no official confirmation. Unfortunately, there's a change of cast (the main four), except for CY. Why can't they keep the same main cast for continuity? Apparently, in NA3, Bi Yao (used to be ZZ) will be reincarnated. If only ZZ was retained/available (LYF and YZ too)... Hope it will be good anyway.

    @oppasaranghaeyo - I want Binbin and Jing Tian together in every projects going forward. They can continue to fall in love with each other through multiple different plots -- I will watch them all. Haha!

     

    Haha. I second that. I will join you all the way. They are just too darn good together!:heart:
