Narratively, Pachinko is also unique because it’s sprawling. Side characters have a full backstory & chapter. I don’t know how they’re going to adapt it into 4 episodes of tv..

I wished they got Steve Yeun to play Hansu in Pachinko, if it’s being remade into English. He was so good in Burning.

    No surprise there. I’m Not a Robot and Go Back Spouses are the only Big 3 shows from the past year that I’ve really enjoyed!

APAD: I feel oddly happy seeing Dr Ye going through pain and regret… tbh seeing male leads in agony is one of my favourite parts of a Korean drama! *o* I can’t be the only masochistic one?

    Is he the lead though? I have a sinking feeling that he’s the perfect second lead… whom we know never gets the girl (andwae!)

      I’ve a feeling he isn’t the main lead too… but I’m not too bothered! Both leads are pretty darn fine, if you ask me 😉
      I like seeing Min Ho in agony and regretting his past actions too!

        Actually, I like to see Bo Young in agony and regretting a bit too… her crush does seem immature. Hehe, are we both masochistic?

          Sounds like it! And yes, I totally agree – sometimes her obvious crushing can get a bit cringey, but that probably happens quite a bit in real life as well, doesn’t it!

Was watching Buzz’s The Love MV, and spotted… Mr Alligator! Almost couldn’t recognise him 🙂

    Ack, my heart! He’s even playing the piano! ❤️
    However, no girl could ever come between Nam Woo and Alligator. (Maybe Joo Yong… which would make for the most interesting love triangle of all time. I need sleep.)

Love the OST from A Poem A Day, especially this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OszAnhmWwms 🙂 English lyrics in the comment!

    On my path that was dark and hazy
    On days where even hope was shaking
    Like a jewel, like a star in the night sky
    A shining day will come
    No where to rest, no one to talk to tonight
    I’m comforting myself, on this tearfully lonely night

    Everyone but me seems so happy, everyone seems so happy
    Will good days ever come?
    Love is so hard, making a living is so hard
    Youth these days is so hard

    Like a jewel, like a star in the night sky
    A shining day will come
    No where to rest, no one to talk to tonight
    I’m comforting myself, on this tearfully lonely night

    Everyone but me seems so happy, everyone seems so happy
    Will good days ever come?
    Love is so hard, making a living is so hard
    Youth these days is so hard

    Everyone has some sort of pain and baggage
    But they still live through, just like you, just like me

    You did a good job today, everyone great job
    Bad days will always pass
    Anyway, there will be days of laughter and good days too
    Just believe in it and live
    Just believe in it and live

    (Am on the brink of finals, graduation, and working life, so this song feels so… apt)

        Yes the lyrics are so beautiful – I personally like “You did a good job today, everyone great job. Bad days will always pass” the most. All the best to you, from a fellow student!

Misty: wow i actually teared seeing GHR\’s mentor and the newsroom sincerely congratulating her! she\’s manipulative but she commands respect for her talent and courage

    many are saying there’s a plothole in the warrant being issued with EJ’s one line ‘hunch’ about GHR, but it really isn’t a plothole – it’s linked to the Hwanil corruption story. they exposed a big shot in the Prosecutor Office, the big shot pushed to arrest GHR, and that’s why the detective & the prosecutor managed to get it for an otherwise empty case!
