I remember that scene it’s one of the popular ones that pop up everywhere🥰 I love it when characters say that word.

hahahaha! Existing......lol!

Hehehe... great explanation for muggles. I love the ~ existing~ part!! 😍

While even the most hard core of fans would find it difficult to defend ALL parts of Strong Woman Do Bong-soon. Some parts are truly iconic and have become not only eminently quotable but legit legendary!! 🔥

^^ Ottoke @CecilieDK re: SWDNS's cult status and PHS ~existing~.

@seeker thanks for the correct spelling. I wrote it phonetically because I couldn’t remember how I found it last time I looked it up.

Ah! No worries @Reply1988 If we were to spell check each thread ... okay too scary to go there. 🤣

As a 2PM fan, ottoke has a completely different connotation for me! 😆

Thank you for the mini language lesson, I am always learning. I just assumed it was one of the politeness terms as most of the time I hear the word they say it without that ending.

I would really love that story arc of the 2ML. Its awesome when they not only have their own story but also a loveline. 2ML/FL having their own importance in the drama apart from hanging around the OTP and / or entangling the OTP loveline is good writing! 👍 👏

I bet the senior couldn’t see why joining the process after the fact would be a problem!

Unfortunately this type of work bullying in not just in medicine. 😪 @Reply1988 Good point. Such "seniors" feel justified in taking credit for the "team" work without acknowledging the person/s who actually worked.

It would be a different drama if mystery was focused on as an important plot point. It would create an imbalance within the plot. I too hope it is not emphasized upon.

He has a long way to go. He is billions in debt, his friends have left him. A doctor who shot to fame on social media and then shot down by that same social media (I loved how they made ths turn for a very young doctor, he becomes the star when everyone else is still turning out their thesis papers), his healing will have to come from many different ends. To recreate the magical connection and trust he had earlier would be a journey in itself.
In all honesty, we just have to look at what happened in recent times due the social media exploding on half truths.

So what, exactly, will be spending 15 more episodes on??

@attiton Rom-com with a sprinkling of healing like a cherry on top! No drinking please, thank you very much - side eyeing that Jeju drama.

@attiton Rebuilding the trust I think would be his biggest challenge. He went all out very early - talent, name, fame, no real hardship and it comes crashing down. She works like a zombie and finds out it means nothing at the end to the true achivements in life. She carries the expectations of the people around her, but also that she is hard on herself.
They would make such an awesome team - he the surgeon, she the anesthesiologist.
The other thing that surprised me is that their chemistry is spot on. I always knew PHS could work his charm on a rock, but PSH is surprising me and in a good way.

Tiring as well

What about giants or beanpoles? What do you suppose they sprout? Because at 183CM/ 6-ft., PHS is a giant to me, me being only 4’10 😅😅😅

@bebeswtz Well IMO flowers can make everything better. Giants, Beanpoles, Flower boys. Even the 190.5 cms (6 feet, 3 inches) Groot i.e. Rowoon.

@bebeswtz the two beanpoles in question - Hyungsik and Groot aka Rowoon - sprout heart eyes, of course! Not quite sure about flowers, but it's entirely possible as well - after all, they're both of a flowery beanpoles class...

@seeker wow, it's 190.5 now? Someone's been watered well lately!

@Gikata @bebeswtz

Ta da!! Pictures of Park Hyung-sik and Rowoon spouting flowers!!

@Gikata @bebeswtz

Apparently Rowoon was so embarrassed about his height that early in his career he said he was only
189 cms i.e. 6 feet, 2 inches. 🤣

There was also an issue about who to cast alongside him in The King’s Affection.

@seeker awww, they're in full bloom indeed! Guess the spring is really coming - my neighborhood cats certainly think so, if the last night's free concert was any indication...

Yeah, I've noticed that being outside of golden 180-something range is not very desirable in this field whether you're shorter OR higher... My current favorite Chinese human beanpole has the same struggles apparently - to the point of outright refusing to reveal the exact number, only reluctantly admitting it's above 190))) But he sprouts flowers too, bless!

Por guy is all googly eyes and the dame can't see beyond her text book page lol

I saw that happen in In the Soop: Friendcation. Isn't it @attiton

Yup, by the fire pit. To be fair, the other guys were laying it on really thick 😆

Actually the one I was refering to was from Suits, where his ZEA team dresses him up for some show right after shoot and everyone was like, Wow. It was a really really cute bts.

@attiton Choi Woo Shik went - we didn't want to speak with him because he was so handsome.
That cracked me up LOL!

That Woo-shik comment was really fun!

I was also thinking how ironic it is for ML to be a plastic surgeon of all things with his natural great looks - wouldn't his patients feel weird about it?)))

@Gikata Or just great advertisement ... to get to look like him. 😂

@seeker it wouldn't quite work as an ad because his face is not made with a scalpel, let alone his own scalpel. But maybe I'm just not understanding some nuances about what makes people want to get PS because I'm also naturally good looking and only had to fix my teeth as a teen... It's surely a complex topic.

@gikata You would be surprised. In another life I used to be an esthetician. And while I took care of myself, I never had the time to do anything more than apply an occasional pack. I am blessed with naturally good skin and hair. And I won the genetic lottery. I had my clients tell me in real that they came to me because they wanted to 'look as good as I do'. And this was only skin care. Imagine if could use a scapel. So I totally get it.

@minniegupta1 I see, even tho it's not the very same thing - good skin/hair can be achieved even when you aren't born with them, and in my mind PS is a far more drastic measure... But those lines are very blurred nowadays. Like beauty injections are technically a medical procedure but today everyone does it with the same ease as I trim my nails.

Never been to a cosmetician *shrugs* Would've love to finally meet a good hair stylist tho, but it's probably a futile dream at this point my relatives who own beauty salons wouldn't like to hear that lol...

@gikata What I meant was I totally see it that people would be flocking to him and go under the scapel in hopes of looking as good as him. Social media is such a powerful tool, and he is the quintessential influencer.
And I am thinking a big part of the story could be how he can achieve it all back. He is the worst case of an influencer fall from grace. No matter what the verdict of the case, internet would always be divided on someone like him. Many won't even follow up on the verdict, just remember that he effed up.

@minniegupta1 heh, it only works if you're intuitively more trusting towards pretty people. I am not - irl at least))) But it makes sense for SK culturally.

You're right, it's quite possible that he'll never achieve that level of success again. Which is not necessarily bad thing, since his former picture perfect life turned out to be nothing more than a bubble...

Yea, and one can sense that his flabbergasted response, confusion, and shock to ppl constantly saying this about him is genuine and not some fake-y “Oh shucks, stop it!!” response.
My C-drama 183.6CM (so also 6-ft.) bias beanpole sprout (actor-singer, Sean Xiao Zhan) also gets the same things said and told to him all the time—ever since his debut days— and he has the same reaction as PHS…. He (Xiao Zhan) humbly rates himself a 6/10 🤨🤨🤨😒😒😒😒

@Gikata I too agree with @minniegupta1 a doctor's "looks" are very important. I once dragged my mother along to the ENT because of his classical Lord Byron looks complete with a killer jawline and salt and pepper hair.

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Perfect description!!

He goes aggressive and cute by turns. He is killing me with this act haha!
