I admit that HosPlay S2\’s first 5 episodes weren\’t as great as S1\’s, but episodes 6 to 8 reminded me of why I love this drama so, so much. Especially episode 8!!!
Hmm maybe you’re not in the mood to watch this type of drama? There are some dramas which I can’t finish because it’s not the genre I want to watch at that time.
Lmao who said that? I don’t know kind of chemistry they were looking for, but I *points to my corpse* can’t handle more chemistry than this I’m sorry!!
I struggled to get into anything for a while after BTLIOF, but the drama that eventually got me out of my slump was My Wife Is Having An Affair This Week.
Uhhh, so, Ji-hyeok’s wife would be Se-hee’s “cheonamdaek”? Right? And Se-hee would be her “hyeongnim”? I know I’ve heard that for brother-in-laws in dramas before. But the list also has “doryeonnim” and “seobangnim” which I’ve also heard… or would one of those just be used by Ji-hyeok and not Ji-hyeok’s wife?
I thought noona/dongsaeng/hyeong/sunbae hierarchy was complex, and then this list proved me wrong. From what I understood, how the four of them will call each other would go like:
Se-hee to Ji-seok: cheonam
Ji-seok to Se-hee: hyeong, I think, because that’s how Ji-seok calls Se-hee in the drama (or hyeongnim)
Se-hee to Ji-seok’s wife: cheonamdaek
Ji-seok’s wife to Se-hee: ???
Ji-ho to Ji-seok’s wife: jesu
Ji-seok’s wife to Ji-ho: dongseo
Ji-seok’s wife to Se-hee:
OMO! I don’t even refer to my sister’s husband to my kids as their uncle, I refer to him as “Your Aunt’s husband”, lol! I could never do all this, seriously… I’ll settle for “Yo..”
It was so good, and the comment section was especially illuminating. If you have time definitely read the comments; the level of analysis was exceptional and really helped me understand it at a deeper level.
I am very much aware of how deep his amazing voice is, but when he spoke in English that is just when it hit me just how great his voice would sound in language that I understand.
That’s what I’ve noticed too. There aren’t any ‘warning: spoilers ahead’ on the main post but it’s kind of automatic when beanies say, “The latest episode was intense!!” Hahaha I love this community 💓💓
I finished episode 3, and I’m still beating. Brain, however, has been fluctuating since finishing the ep. I heard some ridiculous questions such as,
“What’s the importance of Min-ji’s kidnapping to the plot?”
“Who is the doctor to Joon-hyuk?”
“Was the worm the prototype of the care chip?”
“Is Joon-hyuk Beom-gyun or Woo-jin?”
“Is Bluebird and Han Jung-yeon the alien?”
I think brain is slowly losing sanity. Thankfully I’m an involuntary muscle. I can live even if my partner’s insane. Hooray?
I hope by the end of this torture we’re going to appreciate the light. My expectations are soaring high by now that I don’t think the show can make it 🙁
Seriously. I am majorly in love and only hope this show can meet and hopefully exceed my expectations. I am hoping that at only 12 episodes we will get a tight story.
I suddenly got curious on who the writer and the director are. Their past records could really help to ease our worries. I searched the director and.. nope I don’t know his past dramas :'(
This is only his second directing gig. He produced Kill Mee, Heal Me which I did not see. And it seems that all the writers a newbies too. Maybe this is a good thing? They will have fresh ideas. Jaws was only Spielberg’s second feature length film and it is a masterpiece! So there is always hope!!
