Iron family ep 32
Even the business connections are patching up, even if the walking undad is still mainly focused on competition and money. Meanwhile, Kang-ju has found a place in the world where he can get the thing he has always been starved of. TLC.
Sweet Kang-ju Getting Comfortable Around Da-rim
Normally I hate the \”beautiful when angry\” trope. But he\’s so sweet! (And she\’s not really angry).
***
And there’s a whole thing theme here: Loving the nearness and imperfection of grandpa – wanting to celebrate with the neighbourhood; Loving Da-rim even when she’s angry; Sharing the sweet and the sour with Laundry Mum – in all cases getting “angry” and laughing about it. No drama, just love, fun, care and helpfulness.
You are not my son anymore …. poor me!” 😭😭[Waaaah!] 😭😭
Airhead Mum feels infinitely sorry for herself.
If anybody has forgotten; no one but herself is at fault that she is now a known tax evader. If she had followed her son’s advice at any point in this story, she would have been safe and happy.
***
*** Kang-ju breaking
Does he have to stay here for a whole week + Noble Idiocy before someone saves him?
He will probably not tell the real reason to Da-rim, which is horrible. But apart from that, untill he can get the proof away from his mum, it’s not really idiocy, she is a real threat.
***
Because of Squid Game 2,
I really wanted to post the most haunting scene from \”The Simple-minded Murderer\”, where a rich man tut-tuts at a poor man, and, claiming to simply be a man of principle, condemns the poor man\’s family o starvation … by demanding that a sum of money is paid back on Christmas Eve as promised, and not later.
And then, to demonstrate that \”It\’s not the money, it\’s the principle,\” the rich man throws the paid amount into the fireplace.
I can\’t find that clip, but on this gif you see the farm hand title character,
Stellan SkarsgΓ₯rd* anno 1982, towards the end of the film, urged on by three Avenging Angels going towards that rich man\’s house.
Soundtrack: Verdi\’s Dies Irae (Day of Wrath).
***
Small digression:
(*Stellan SkarsgΓ₯rd, the actor, is the father of all male actors from Sweden, most of them with an international career. And his one daughter is a caster. Google that family, it\’s crazy).
they are a controversial family but I commend their habit of reading 6 to 10 books to prepare for any role. I hope the love of reading is inherited by their next generation

They are taking down the Fan Walls and all my old discussions and gifs. I have been keeping a list of permalinks for my old posts, and so, if you are rewatching anything, or if there\’s something you might like to see, or a gif you want to download before it all gets taken down, then you are welcome.
I have Honestly been so happy sharing those moments with y\’all and I hadn\’t thought all those post would disappear like that.
Thank you, Cecilie, for all these amazing posts. I know a lot of time, effort, and heart were put into each post.
Do you possibly consider putting the original links (i.e imgur links…) in your google doc as well?
Heart Massage for Mice in Space❤️🚀👨🏻🚀🧑🏻🚀🛰️🧑🏻⚕️🫀🐭
There\’s a clear theme for \”When the Stars Gossip\”🗣️🌟🌟 and that theme is of course LOVE, and therefore, the heartbeat even of a mouse is important. The scene is very intense.
For the squeamish who don\’t like mice and surgery, that may be hard to watch, and so I have simply decided to make an artistic rendering, where you don\’t have to see the mouse\’s head. And also, the blood seems less realistic.
But you will get a general idea. And you can see it is in space because of the way the blood drops move.
You never know when you may need to give a mouse massage!
***
Well, you know, sometimes these things take time.
By now we know that he is respectful, loving, nimble and persistent, which is a good thing. The Cpt. liked that in him.
I actually enjoyed both the fruit flies and mouse surgery scenes. GHJ’s fixation and delight at the flies’ mating reminds me so much of the different scientists that I met. That single-minded pursuit and pure joy in seeing breakthroughs are beyond us non-scientists. GHJ conveys that crystal clear emotion so well. The mouse surgery on the other hand is very well shot and produced – just watching the single blood drop floating in the incubator is never a thing I’d imagine seeing in a drama – any drama not just k-drama. Yet, I totally understand how distressing those could be for some viewers.
I wrote a long answer, but of course there was an inappropriate word, because … well the subject.
I was just saying that I don’t like fruit flies and definitely not when they are making more.
But I liked the scene, it managed to be hilarious, cute, and disgusting at one time.
Even more so the mouse scene – the whole cooperation, the hope, the happiness … and then how can I say it … the demonstration of the ML’s skills, nimblemess etcetera.
The inappropriate word thing is driving me nuts – I tried three times re-writing a post about Park Sung-hoo’s incident but in the end gave up.
Back to those two scenes, your comment is spot on. It is less about the subject matter but how the delivery visualising the characters at play. I feel there is a kind of pureness in those two scenes that delight me.
Your GIF looks like an art piece.
As I used to have to open the mouse abdomen to do perfusion fixation, I got to see (and feel) their heart beat, then their heart stop when a solution was irrigated through the heart to push all the blood out of the body 🙈 So actually that scene evoked a feeling a nostalgic for me 🙈
Thank you very much! I was quite proud of it, to be honest.
***
***
My daughter reacted with a short chortle-scoff, which was what I hoped to hear from her.
With nostalgia as your companion, the sunny face of our FL (Obviously the commander, though the chaebol daughter is nice, too) will have been less funny and more touching for you, though it was both for a lot of us, – but more on the funny side.
I just love the chaebol daughter for no reason the first moment she was on the screen, but I know with Gong Hyojin in the picture, the chaebol heiress won’t be the end game for our ML.
She is sweet. She has half this sweetness, and half some chaotic, bulldozer-like and sexy … presence. Am I making that up, or am I right?
Since she has obviously been lied to and let down many times, I hope she herself will find a new love or that an earlier thing that she was sad about was really a misunderstanding, so that there will be a happy and fulfilling end for her, too.
He hasn’t promised her love but he has promised to be the stable force in her life. Obviously, he will end up being a friend at the most.
Back to Laundry Mum, who has a good deal of gifs this time:
Unfairman Stays Characteristically ‘Charming’
But at least the thought occurs that he might not be welcome. And he knows how to say all the wrong things. He does not percieve that she is busy, though, and it does not occur to him to ask if he can help. Because that’s the kind of person he is.
***
***
What to do if you came in a car and a friend’s (or an old flame’s) car battery ran out
If you’re the Unfairman, you do exactly *nothing*.
Oh, and that how he treats other people’s “batteries” in general. He never replenishes from his own self.
***
Ew.
He really knows how to make it weird. She just asked him to stop getting his laundry done at her Laundry Shop, but he says he will keep doing it, and …
No, it’s not a compliment. It’s sexualising what a normal paid service – at the same time as he refuses to stop even if she asks to. He really thinks his money naturally entitles him to any part of other people he happens to want.
***
***
Again*, this moving respect for her and her feelings
***
I’ve said it before, though of course it should be self-evident: Only ask if the answer means a lot to you, and show it. If you don’t care or don’t have the courage to respond, don’t ask.
But of course he would ask stuff like this, and not offer any confession up in return. “Hm”.
***
***
Buh-bye
She gave him so many chances, even at this tired moment, to be happy with her. He is just so up in himself he has no chance of seeing what he has until he hasn’t. I hope he really gets the chance to understand and retrospectively enjoy* the love he has received – through many years alone, starting from now.
***
***
*) By “retrospectively enjoy” I mean “regret”. I hope he lives to regret what he wasted in such a cavalier manner.
The ‘will they’or ‘won’t they’ is killing me. It becomes the most anticipated answer to me (as I can’t bear to see him re-unite with the airhead mom no matter how insensible he is as a person).
I gather the more important question is what will make Bong-hui happy – she fully deserves to be happy with a man or not.
I think the Unfairman fully deserves Airhead Mum, – if she’ll take him. He also deserves seeing a worthy man swoop in and woo Laundry Mum with all the fervor she deserves, landing her in a satisfactory relationship she never expected.
Most probably, he will get a redemption arc. But while Laundry Mum deserves to get whatever she dreams of, the unfairman has been so horrible to so many people for such a long time, I personally won’t forgive him.
Danish Children’s game, based on the story of Sleeping Beauty (Tornerose in Danish = Thorn Rose).
You dance around in a circle singing, each verse a part of the story in one sentence, which is played out by the participating children.
This is a costume version for television.
But here in this movie, “Martha” from 1967, for some strange reason, grown-up men are singing it.
The men are collectively deciding that the white-capped man is “The Evil Fairy”, as they sing “And then the evil fairy came, fairy came, fairy came, and then the evil fairy came. Fairy Came!” (I know, impressively sophisticated lyrics, right?)
***
***
And here then is what is most like Kang-ju’s castle of protecting bodies. The lyrics in this verse go: Then, up would grow a thorny hedge, thorny hedge, thorny hedge; hen, up would grow a thorny hedge: Thorny Hedge!
***
\”I Can Explain This!
(More from Marry My Husband)
***
*** Well then, why don\’t you?
Always wasting time saying \”Please, wait, I can explain\” 🙄
It shouldn\’t take more than a few sentences to draw up the main picture. No need for all this suffering.
\”It was an arranged marriage. When I fell in love, even when I thought I had no chance, I broke the engangement\” Sorted! You\’re Welcome.
\”It\’s never right,\” she says.
It would still be a lame reason, even if she didn\’t use it as an excuse to do exactly what she says you can\’t ever do.
***
***
He has been made a fool of and now really feels in the mood for letting a ToD make an end to her life.
So I couldn’t help but think of the Atwood quote.
Then again, in this drama, so many women (and men) are evilly scheming to humiliate, kill, or just bankrupt their fellow human being. So it’s more like “Everybody fears that they will be killed … by their best friend or their spouse … while they cackle cheerfully and Schadenfreudig: “Ha ha, you should see yourself right now!”
But well, here is the truck he helped order for her:
***
***
Of course, in the end, it’s happily ever after for the good people.
There was talk about whether ToD would be Trope of the Year next year.
I don’t know. But I made a gif series about my favourite Truck of Doom, with my favourite Loan Shark with a Heart of Gold.It’l be coming right up.
Because it looks like he is winking, when I write it too, innit? And that’s not what I mean. I just mean, that he blinks, meaning ” … ” which is up to anyone to interpret, and much cuter and funnier.
I really just wanted to make that clearer, also because they often have that duink sound when people blink, but … well, …
Marry My Husband, Dear Beanies, forgive me,
I had to shout this to somebody, right at the start of ep 12
He says \”I Can Explain!\”
… and then he goes on to not do that, even if the whole thing can be explained in three sentences, seriously:
***
***
– It was an arranged marriage, we only ever did it for our families
– As soon as I saw a chance for actual love, I broke up.
– Believe me – no one was hurt.
***
And then She says this, and walks one-sidedly away … Arrghhh! It\’s so dumb!
***

Pocket Money from Father in Heaven

Probably My Favourite Person in this Show
Yoo Hee-Yeon jumping for joy, little sistering all over the place.😍
I really hope she will become happy in this drama. 🍀
Or else! 😠
***
100%! She is the character, out of every single kdrama character I can think of, that I most want to hang out with and be best friends with. I luf her so much!
Isolating, Gaslighting and β¦ WTF?
This is just much more realistic than it is funny. Itβs grotesque enough to be a little bit funny, but definitely only because it is fiction. the gif may take a few seconds to load
***
***
He is stronger than she is.
I suppose it feels natural to prevent someone from leaving, if you are in an argument, and you are just way stronger than they are. Maybe it feels like a small thing for the person who is stronger. But oh, it is terrible, terrible.
***
βYouβre a Good Girlβ
βBut she was smiling!β Some people have a hard time imagining that a smiling, giggling woman is actually horrified and/or disgusted, – not flirting. But FL is scared here. And her reaction is normal.
***
That Look
Apart from the fact that he is training her, because he knows she already died because of violence, the look of surrender in his face here β¦ I love it. His expression is so naked and vulnerable, not flirty, not toughening up: He really is just clay in her hands. If she has eyes, he doesnβt have to say it.
***
The Reaction of Patriarchs
In many countries men who feel they should have a certain position just for being men, are reacting like these two no-goods. Anger about women taking decisions for themselves.
***
Bored for the Baby
OMG, I know this feeling so much β luckily, I was not alone and without a self like this girl is, and also, my husband knows and accepts that I am a person.
I think that maybe spending some time under The Yoke of MIL and Tantrum Toddler Thug would be fitting for someone who used to only take the fun time and maybe even imagine she was the victim β¦ Still, I must assume that everybody, like me, thinks that about here, this revenge trip is too much(?), too unnecessary, and taking up too much place in the lives of our OTP?
***
***
Put on your headphones and listen to quiet, undynamic generic classical music for an hour or so! Eat food with no taste! Don’t get excited! Think of the baby!
*** Hey, Costume Department, are you sleeping on the job?
I just wonder how this K-star was made to play this scene wearing black panties under her white dress?
***
Ooooh, you just started this! I might join you in a few days, itβs on my list. (But first, I had to take a peak at IRON FAMILY, and may just stick with it!) Meanwhile, I try not to look at too many GIFs, lol 😂🥳
You can use our midnight, there’s enough for everybody. Welcome, have some! And a glass of champaign and kransekage , marcipan circle cake, which I see now is unknown or at least exotic outside of Scandinavia. Luckily, someone had made one (in the extra challenging form of a cornucopia, also very traditional) so you can see what it is, here: https://thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk/recipes/all/paul-hollywood-danish-cornucopia/
What – no Kopiko handy to refresh and recharge?!? 😂 (Iβd have needed that, tooβ¦ 😪)
Happy New Year full of energy to you two 🥳🍫☕️
Ps: We donβt have marzipan circle cake, but something a bit similar: a βNew Yearβs Braid Cakeβ (basically a brioche filled with almonds and marzipan, shaped like a pretzel or braided), traditionally eaten as breakfast on New Yearβs Day. Hope you enjoyed your cake, Cecilie! 🫰😃
What a lovely gif!
Especially as right now, the wind outside is the kind you can hear, clearly, going Whumm Phhhhoom as it shakes trees and the frames of the house. And it’s raining. It’s cake weather.
And it would be K-drama weather if my hubby weren’t reading aloud from the Princess Bride.
Google and found out it is of course what’s called a “kringle” in Danish.
It’s common to make that for … well, when you need cake, but there is also a tradition of “Julekringle”, Christmas Braid Cake, though it is not anywhere as widespread a tradition as kransekage for New Years Eve.
Still, you will definitely recognise the design, and also, there’s marcipan in it: https://www.valdemarsro.dk/julekringle/
***
@ceciliedk That really looks super similar to our βNeujahrszopfβ 👏😃 Fun how the same things can be found in many regions. Tastes best when still warm, like yeast dough goods always do! With a cup of coffee – delicious. *chefβs kiss*
I know I always complain about comments on Viki, but this really takes the cake.
Even so much as to make other commenters notice. But really, it is bad:
***
Yeah. The comments got so unhinged I thought I was watching a different drama from them. Do they not know the premise of the show? Or the fact that the writer has actually written fleshed out characters who are not perfect – like people are in real life.
Now, autism is not a “one certain way to be”, and certainly not “un-intelligence” but funny thing is, that one feature that autism can include is an unbending feeling of justice and fairness.
I don’t know that I have autism, but some things … well, I have felt really seen in some descriptions and had that “Yes, yes! And also this feeling … yes!” with some diagnosed autists – in our case the extremely uncomfortable feeling around wrong use of language. (Like, direct “translation” of English expressions and grammar, used uncritically in Danish. It makes me itch all over, like I was allergic).
This just to say that I am not depreciating people with autism in general at all. It includes people I love and maybe myself. But it is a bit funny that this one-sided look at “This is illegal. Then you go to the police”-thing and not being able to let go of that – could be a sign that Kekela has exactly that neuro-spiciness that she is “accusing” our sweet, sweet Kang-jo of having.
It doesn’t excuse how horribly s/he is.
it sounds similar to the blackpink fans in kpop community. some utter trash always shows up posting puke faces etc. they dont know how illiterate they sound
I hope there are some admins to throw these people out – even if they can make a new “identity” and go on emoji-puking, at least it will be a bit obstructed, I hope.
*** A Magic Moment
Itβs not just that he gets βthe girlβ ; Itβs that someone finally shows Kang-ju that they love him. He needs that. He deserves that.
***
***
(PS: I have only heard the “made of stone” expression as being cold and maybe brave except for in Cinde-Freaking-Rella, where “just look at every girl as a stone” was the advice ML got from his father).
They did that with Im Siwan in Run-on, too: Puts a young man in a huge suit so that he looks like a toddler who has been in Daddyβs closet. I think I have seen it more times, to emphasise the lower end of a relationship of patriarchal hierarchy, here: Tae-ungsomehow being Dadβs little boyafter having been a man for far too long.
***
***
The Parent Trap
I wonder if Tae-ung is planning to marry his chosen family to wealth, or if he just wants laundry-mum to get hers. In a respectable way, of course.
The best evil justice plan I think is to make Unfairman take that emotional chance but consistently without admitting to love anyone, tripping himself up and losing it all because Laundry-mum gives up waiting and finds a better love. Muahahahaha!
***
***
Probably it will turn out better even for this narcissistic unloving toxic man.
Brother from Another Mother (united by absence of the same Father )
Let’s be real, here: Unfairman isn’t there for anybody he can’t use.
But what will the relationship become between the not-brothers? Choi Tae-joon’s face is a cliffhanger of neutrality. Does he have the “you are trying to steal my girlfriend(s) and my father”-look?
Or is it the “I am realising this man wasn’t there for my mum, nor for his wife, nor for her son – and he won’t ever be there for me?”- look? Is it the “This boy and me have more in common than me and this man who made my mother pregnant, threatened to kill her, and left her”-look?
I would love for Tae-ung to Return from the Dark Side, and for everybody to be friends except Unfairman. The Close-up:
***
***
The Eye Contact Kang-ju looks tired rather than furious with Tae-ung – he seems to finally place his anger in the right place.
***
***
Notice in the first of these two gif, how Tae-ung’s movements are somehow shadowed through the glass by someone walking under him, half hidden.I could make up a meaning for that, something about the subconscious or not being honest, … but maybe someone just happened to pass by there. On the other hand, there are no one else there – it almost has to be scripted?
Anyone out there knows what this fist-chin gesture means?
***
***
Tomorrow, I will be posting this week\’s Iron Family gifs in their own post altogether. But before that I hope to know what this gesture, with his hand up to his chin, means?
I liked him far better in that other role, but in both cases, he is driving a car with someone else, and has a more or less secret agenda. So, not so strange if the two roles are very alike right here. Tae-ung even is more open and friendly here than he has been for a long time, so more like the guy in Sus Partner, who was constantly just being nice, taking the trash, emotionally, for everyone, haunted by bad conscience and by love he couldn’t show. 😢
Watch Out, He\’ll Grab the Barrel!
I\’m reduced to a five-year-old Punch & Judy Audience member, shouting out advice in vain to my screen.
In this case, I was sure that Daddy Paik would grab the barrel and turn it against Daddy Hong, who seems the least horrible parent except for that guy (Na Jin-Cheol) in the hospital.
***
***
Why the Long Face?
Suddenly it seems to me everybody probably are siblings or something? 🤨🧐🔎
***
Lastly, …
we rarely get the chance to see the flirty 2ML prototype cough out food over the table. I quite like this girl as a change from the usual catty, evil 2ML. Hopefully, she’ll end up with Stoneface Orabeoni here and be very happy.
***
I think maybe finally it’s going somewhere.
But I would rather here about the couple getting to know each other, preferably without nearly dying all the time. Just to be attracted to each other and starting to trust, then learning more secrets , (like that oppa once saw a child being drowned and never talked to anyone about it, even if he knows the culprit) uhm, and then learning to trust … again … and again, or well, you know, that kind of drama.
YES! Omg this is the gist of what I shared on my wall a few hours ago! I said that they are together but not βtogether enoughβ! There are still more secrets that havenβt been shared and at this point in time when all saranghes have been exchanged, I see no reason why to hold on to those secrets.
It’s clearly disgusting but it’s also very funny. Pretty girls just don’t ever do that, amirite?
And she is only embarrassed for like, half a second, if at all. Not very catty at all.
Merry Gifmas
I am continuing my series of make as I go-along Judge from Hell gifs. This one because
It doesn\’t make sense!
If they are part of Hell, they are the opposition, so to speak, of Heaven and so, (no comparison except for \”opposition\”), not believing in God or Jesus is like if you were in the WW2 allied forces and thought Hitler was made up. Saying someone is a traitor for believing the enemy exists is nonsense.
***
***
Actually, for this point exactly, don\’t trust me: Go to the great Literary Classics, more exact, The very first chapter of The Master and Margarita.
Yes, your Lowness, of course, Your Lowness!😍💥πͺ🔥😈🤩
This, on the other hand, is freaking hilarious. This little demon is fangirling the heck out of our Judge from Hell, here:
***
Dear Taguettes, Here is the third Judge from Hell post from me.
I have seen the whole thing now. I was (surprise) not really satisfied with the ending and I think it’s a bit fun that who was so crazy-eyed as the Church Lady was apparently meant to depict the near pinnacle of humanity. 🤷🏻
And to have three years on earth and then leave to work some hours away from you love – that is just crazy, or what? But a lot of scenes – like those I giffed, but not just those – where effing hilarious.
I hope you’ll like these – I spend far too much time making them, tbh.😅 @IsaGC@claire2009 (Healerβs) @seeker (Cera) @Reply1988 @jls943 (unaspirated) @coffeprince4eva (RenOlshi) @DncingEmma@lapislazulii@sonai@Gikata@vienibenmio @marysadanaga@sp2022@darkcc@GhostofTim@zindigo@23new2kdrama

Because of Squid Game 2,
I really wanted to post the most haunting scene from \”The Simple-minded Murderer\”, where a rich man tut-tuts at a poor man, and, claiming to simply be a man of principle, condemns the poor man\’s family o starvation … by demanding that a sum of money is paid back on Christmas Eve as promised, and not later.
And then, to demonstrate that \”It\’s not the money, it\’s the principle,\” the rich man throws the paid amount into the fireplace.
I can\’t find that clip, but on this gif you see the farm hand title character,
Stellan SkarsgΓ₯rd* anno 1982, towards the end of the film, urged on by three Avenging Angels going towards that rich man\’s house.
Soundtrack: Verdi\’s Dies Irae (Day of Wrath).

Small digression:
(*Stellan SkarsgΓ₯rd, the actor, is the father of all male actors from Sweden, most of them with an international career. And his one daughter is a caster. Google that family, it\’s crazy).

Heart Massage for Mice in Space❤️🚀👨🏻🚀🧑🏻🚀🛰️🧑🏻⚕️🫀🐭
There\’s a clear theme for \”When the Stars Gossip\”🗣️🌟🌟 and that theme is of course LOVE, and therefore, the heartbeat even of a mouse is important. The scene is very intense.
For the squeamish who don\’t like mice and surgery, that may be hard to watch, and so I have simply decided to make an artistic rendering, where you don\’t have to see the mouse\’s head. And also, the blood seems less realistic.
But you will get a general idea. And you can see it is in space because of the way the blood drops move.
You never know when you may need to give a mouse massage!

I actually enjoyed both the fruit flies and mouse surgery scenes. GHJ’s fixation and delight at the flies’ mating reminds me so much of the different scientists that I met. That single-minded pursuit and pure joy in seeing breakthroughs are beyond us non-scientists. GHJ conveys that crystal clear emotion so well. The mouse surgery on the other hand is very well shot and produced – just watching the single blood drop floating in the incubator is never a thing I’d imagine seeing in a drama – any drama not just k-drama. Yet, I totally understand how distressing those could be for some viewers.

I wrote a long answer, but of course there was an inappropriate word, because … well the subject.
I was just saying that I don’t like fruit flies and definitely not when they are making more.
But I liked the scene, it managed to be hilarious, cute, and disgusting at one time.
Even more so the mouse scene – the whole cooperation, the hope, the happiness … and then how can I say it … the demonstration of the ML’s skills, nimblemess etcetera.

The inappropriate word thing is driving me nuts – I tried three times re-writing a post about Park Sung-hoo’s incident but in the end gave up.
Back to those two scenes, your comment is spot on. It is less about the subject matter but how the delivery visualising the characters at play. I feel there is a kind of pureness in those two scenes that delight me.

Your GIF looks like an art piece.
As I used to have to open the mouse abdomen to do perfusion fixation, I got to see (and feel) their heart beat, then their heart stop when a solution was irrigated through the heart to push all the blood out of the body 🙈 So actually that scene evoked a feeling a nostalgic for me 🙈

She is sweet. She has half this sweetness, and half some chaotic, bulldozer-like and sexy … presence. Am I making that up, or am I right?
Since she has obviously been lied to and let down many times, I hope she herself will find a new love or that an earlier thing that she was sad about was really a misunderstanding, so that there will be a happy and fulfilling end for her, too.
He hasn’t promised her love but he has promised to be the stable force in her life. Obviously, he will end up being a friend at the most.

He really knows how to make it weird. She just asked him to stop getting his laundry done at her Laundry Shop, but he says he will keep doing it, and …
No, it’s not a compliment. It’s sexualising what a normal paid service – at the same time as he refuses to stop even if she asks to. He really thinks his money naturally entitles him to any part of other people he happens to want.

Asking for more
I’ve said it before, though of course it should be self-evident: Only ask if the answer means a lot to you, and show it. If you don’t care or don’t have the courage to respond, don’t ask.
But of course he would ask stuff like this, and not offer any confession up in return. “Hm”.

Buh-bye
She gave him so many chances, even at this tired moment, to be happy with her. He is just so up in himself he has no chance of seeing what he has until he hasn’t. I hope he really gets the chance to understand and retrospectively enjoy* the love he has received – through many years alone, starting from now.

The ‘will they’or ‘won’t they’ is killing me. It becomes the most anticipated answer to me (as I can’t bear to see him re-unite with the airhead mom no matter how insensible he is as a person).

I think the Unfairman fully deserves Airhead Mum, – if she’ll take him. He also deserves seeing a worthy man swoop in and woo Laundry Mum with all the fervor she deserves, landing her in a satisfactory relationship she never expected.
Most probably, he will get a redemption arc. But while Laundry Mum deserves to get whatever she dreams of, the unfairman has been so horrible to so many people for such a long time, I personally won’t forgive him.

Kang-ju’s Castle of Allies reminds me of a
Danish Children’s game, based on the story of Sleeping Beauty (Tornerose in Danish = Thorn Rose).
You dance around in a circle singing, each verse a part of the story in one sentence, which is played out by the participating children.
This is a costume version for television.
But here in this movie, “Martha” from 1967, for some strange reason, grown-up men are singing it.
The men are collectively deciding that the white-capped man is “The Evil Fairy”, as they sing “And then the evil fairy came, fairy came, fairy came, and then the evil fairy came. Fairy Came!” (I know, impressively sophisticated lyrics, right?)
***
***
And here then is what is most like Kang-ju’s castle of protecting bodies. The lyrics in this verse go:
Then, up would grow a thorny hedge, thorny hedge, thorny hedge; hen, up would grow a thorny hedge: Thorny Hedge!

He has been made a fool of and now really feels in the mood for letting a ToD make an end to her life.
So I couldn’t help but think of the Atwood quote.
Then again, in this drama, so many women (and men) are evilly scheming to humiliate, kill, or just bankrupt their fellow human being. So it’s more like “Everybody fears that they will be killed … by their best friend or their spouse … while they cackle cheerfully and Schadenfreudig: “Ha ha, you should see yourself right now!”
But well, here is the truck he helped order for her:

You can use our midnight, there’s enough for everybody. Welcome, have some! And a glass of champaign and kransekage , marcipan circle cake, which I see now is unknown or at least exotic outside of Scandinavia. Luckily, someone had made one (in the extra challenging form of a cornucopia, also very traditional) so you can see what it is, here:

Happy New Year full of energy to you two 🥳🍫☕️
Ps: We donβt have marzipan circle cake, but something a bit similar: a βNew Yearβs Braid Cakeβ (basically a brioche filled with almonds and marzipan, shaped like a pretzel or braided), traditionally eaten as breakfast on New Yearβs Day. Hope you enjoyed your cake, Cecilie! 🫰😃

Google and found out it is of course what’s called a “kringle” in Danish.
It’s common to make that for … well, when you need cake, but there is also a tradition of “Julekringle”, Christmas Braid Cake, though it is not anywhere as widespread a tradition as kransekage for New Years Eve.
Still, you will definitely recognise the design, and also, there’s marcipan in it: https://www.valdemarsro.dk/julekringle/

Now, autism is not a “one certain way to be”, and certainly not “un-intelligence” but funny thing is, that one feature that autism can include is an unbending feeling of justice and fairness.
I don’t know that I have autism, but some things … well, I have felt really seen in some descriptions and had that “Yes, yes! And also this feeling … yes!” with some diagnosed autists – in our case the extremely uncomfortable feeling around wrong use of language. (Like, direct “translation” of English expressions and grammar, used uncritically in Danish. It makes me itch all over, like I was allergic).
This just to say that I am not depreciating people with autism in general at all. It includes people I love and maybe myself.
But it is a bit funny that this one-sided look at “This is illegal. Then you go to the police”-thing and not being able to let go of that – could be a sign that Kekela has exactly that neuro-spiciness that she is “accusing” our sweet, sweet Kang-jo of having.
It doesn’t excuse how horribly s/he is.

The Little Boy inside the Man
They did that with Im Siwan in Run-on, too: Puts a young man in a huge suit so that he looks like a toddler who has been in Daddyβs closet. I think I have seen it more times, to emphasise the lower end of a relationship of patriarchal hierarchy, here: Tae-ungsomehow being Dadβs little boy after having been a man for far too long.

The Parent Trap
I wonder if Tae-ung is planning to marry his chosen family to wealth, or if he just wants laundry-mum to get hers. In a respectable way, of course.
The best evil justice plan I think is to make Unfairman take that emotional chance but consistently without admitting to love anyone, tripping himself up and losing it all because Laundry-mum gives up waiting and finds a better love.
Muahahahaha!

Brother from Another Mother (united by absence of the same Father )
Let’s be real, here: Unfairman isn’t there for anybody he can’t use.
But what will the relationship become between the not-brothers? Choi Tae-joon’s face is a cliffhanger of neutrality. Does he have the “you are trying to steal my girlfriend(s) and my father”-look?
Or is it the “I am realising this man wasn’t there for my mum, nor for his wife, nor for her son – and he won’t ever be there for me?”- look? Is it the “This boy and me have more in common than me and this man who made my mother pregnant, threatened to kill her, and left her”-look?
I would love for Tae-ung to Return from the Dark Side, and for everybody to be friends except Unfairman.
The Close-up:

The Eye Contact
Kang-ju looks tired rather than furious with Tae-ung – he seems to finally place his anger in the right place.

***
Notice in the first of these two gif, how Tae-ung’s movements are somehow shadowed through the glass by someone walking under him, half hidden.I could make up a meaning for that, something about the subconscious or not being honest, … but maybe someone just happened to pass by there. On the other hand, there are no one else there – it almost has to be scripted?

I liked him far better in that other role, but in both cases, he is driving a car with someone else, and has a more or less secret agenda. So, not so strange if the two roles are very alike right here. Tae-ung even is more open and friendly here than he has been for a long time, so more like the guy in Sus Partner, who was constantly just being nice, taking the trash, emotionally, for everyone, haunted by bad conscience and by love he couldn’t show. 😢

But I would rather here about the couple getting to know each other, preferably without nearly dying all the time. Just to be attracted to each other and starting to trust, then learning more secrets , (like that oppa once saw a child being drowned and never talked to anyone about it, even if he knows the culprit) uhm, and then learning to trust … again … and again, or well, you know, that kind of drama.

I am continuing my series of make as I go-along Judge from Hell gifs. This one because
It doesn\’t make sense!
If they are part of Hell, they are the opposition, so to speak, of Heaven and so, (no comparison except for \”opposition\”), not believing in God or Jesus is like if you were in the WW2 allied forces and thought Hitler was made up. Saying someone is a traitor for believing the enemy exists is nonsense.

Dear Taguettes, Here is the third Judge from Hell post from me.
I have seen the whole thing now. I was (surprise) not really satisfied with the ending and I think it’s a bit fun that who was so crazy-eyed as the Church Lady was apparently meant to depict the near pinnacle of humanity. 🤷🏻
And to have three years on earth and then leave to work some hours away from you love – that is just crazy, or what? But a lot of scenes – like those I giffed, but not just those – where effing hilarious.
I hope you’ll like these – I spend far too much time making them, tbh.😅
