***warning: lots of pics***
If you’re a psychic (snort) Reply series viewer like me, then this Episode is sending telepathic waves.
“Look, folks! I can read their thoughts! pwahahahaha.”
I didn’t want to write this because I didn’t want to rub salt in the IJ fans’ wounds but these have to be said.
These episodes are the same:
Reply 1994 Episode 4 = Reply 1988 Episode 2 = Hospital Playlist Episode 10
I’ll tell you why in a bit. First, let’s discuss the highlight scene of this episode. And nope! It wasn’t Ikjung’s Con Artist’s Proposal.
Songhwa received a text saying that her package arrived.
Songhwa: Why did it go to the medical office? Jeong-won, can you come with me? This package is quite big.
JW: Sure.
IJ: Go. I’ll clean up.
If you noticed, two guys were there with Songhwa. But without hesitation, she chose JW. She was reading her text, and as soon as she looked up, her eyes latched onto JW. She didn’t even spare IJ a glance.
That’s a clue, Husband Hunters!
IJ: (asking) Hey, what did you buy this time?
I already pointed out how demeaning his behavior was when he MADE Songhwa recite that Eat Slowly “pledge,” right? I say NO thinking Bitch should accept that kinda crap from her man.
Well, this comment of his is also unacceptable. His question is fault-finding. He could have simply asked her, “Oh, did you buy anything interesting?” But when he questioned her “Hey! what did you but THIS TIME?” that additional “THIS TIME” showed the difference between ACCEPTANCE of a financially independent, grown woman’s buying habits and HYPER-CRITICISM of her said habits.
This question “What did you buy this time?” implied that she’d been buying a lot of non-essential things and this purchase must be another one of her self-indulgent purchases. That was a passive-aggressive question.
Songhwa: A wood stove.
IJ: A wood stove?
Again, what did it matter to him? Last time I checked doctors have separate paychecks so why did it matter to him if she bought a wood stove? Was she starving him?
Songhwa’s face fell and she instinctively turned towards JW for comfort.
At the same time, JW looked at her to gauge her reaction to IJ’s answer. He immediately grabbed her shoulders, wrapped an arm around her, patted her, and tucked her into his side. He walked her out of the room, and she leaned her head on his chest.
JW: Good choice. Do everything you want to do to stay healthy. Great purchase. Well done. Well done. Well done.
This was a significant milestone. One, this was the first time Songhwa had ever sought physical comfort from one of them.
And two, this was another way JW protected her. Remember? I told you his verse in the featured band song of this episode mentioned “protection.”
You’re my loved one.
I will make a silent promise
That I will protect you until your tears run dry.
In the distant future, when we reminisce about this day,
If we can give each other a kiss
In the whole wide world, for a very long time
Out of all the people, I will only love you.
In the whole wide world, for a very long time
Out of all the people
I am grateful that I met you.
Then, on the way back, JW lugged the big box and followed her. She was on the phone and didn’t notice that he had stopped to talk to a child. When she turned around, he was already on his knees chatting a former patient.
Songhwa was smiling at his interaction with the child.
lol. When a girl looks at a guy like this, she’s wondering how he’ll be like as the father of her children.
He was talking still about the child as they walked back to her room.
Then, out of the blue, she told him, “Jeongwon, get married.” Jeongwon, let’s get married.”
Updated 5/20/20
According to new poster, jjaein11:
Hwa originally said ” 정원아 결혼 하자” which the actual meaning is “Jeongwon, let’s get married”. Soooo, i don’t think the writer made her said that just for nothing.
He stopped and looked at her.
There was no close-up shot. But his face had a surprised expression.
She then said, “Find yourself a nice lady and get married soon. Or have a baby first. Think about how adorable your own kids will be.”
He returned the compliment. “You hurry up and get married. You love kids too.”
She denied it, “I don’t love kids that much. But I love my nieces and nephews. Uju is so cute. I haven’t seen Uju in a while.”
Now, here’s why I said that::
Reply 1994 Episode 4 = Reply 1988 Episode 2 = Hospital Playlist Episode 10
All these scenes have two things in common:
One, a package. All the episodes referred to a package that the endgame couple had to carry or bring.
In Reply 1994, Episode 4, the heroine received a package for her husband. She had to go to the lobby and picked it up from the concierge. Back in time, she also had to wait on a package from him. She didn’t know that the package actually contained a present for her.
In the past, Trash told her to wait for the delivery. lol. This is when I knew that Trash was the husband and I dropped the show. lol.
Reply 1988 was more subtle. In Episode 2, Deoksun had sent Taek to pick up some comic books for her at the library. The mothers teased her because she had the guts to order Taek around, like he was her slave, when Taek was worshiped like a “god” by the nation because of baduk talent.
Two, a proposal was made. And the proposal wasn’t “flashy.” It was said as a joke and taken as a joke.
In Reply 1994, Trash asked her to marry him.
In Reply 1988, Deoksun teased Taek to grow up so he could marry her.
His reaction afterwards.
Incidentally, in Reply 1994, there was one guy who always played with a baseball. Chilbong.
Just saying…. 🙂
@packmule3, you’re the best ⭐️
Yes you right. I caught the same point, too. The package. I’m happy to be here. 💕💕 everyone here is awesome.
👍 yes to the package and yes to the baseball 😂. I am still keeping an eye out for that pink teddy bear from the bank. Currently it’s still in Andrea’s office. I know there was a bear in 1994, was there a similar item in 1988?
SHwa originally said ” 정원아 결혼 하자” which the actual meaning is “Jeongwon, let’s get married”. Soooo, i don’t think the writer made her said that just for nothing.
Oh @packmule3! You sure make my day super brighter today 🥰 Thank you! Actually I have added these proposal trope in our hint basket few days ago after you mentioned it in the comment section.
Due to the latest detection from Minasan on the timeline of ep 10, I was pretty sure that it is intentional. To add to my comment on timeline error last night, after the confession where IJ belatedly agreeing/ supporting with her buying the logs rack, he was back to belittling her purchase of the wood stove. He reverted just as he did with self reflection.
However, shwa’s script when she said it has been a while that she sees Uju does not add up. It disproof this theory that the timeline error was intentional. Because on 14th or 15th she just took care of the kid. On the 16th she got her parcel. So mayhap all that full moon thing vs the date on Jwon’s phone are production error. Either that or we are actually already in mid November (14-15 Nov) when the full moon happened so the error would be the calendar at Shyeong’s room 🙂.
She actually said, “let’s get married”? lol. That’s even better.
Oh yes! That is the actual translation @packmule3. Hence, he froze. 🤭 Netflix, you!😈😈
I already did the edit. 🙂
So are we still being harassed on twitter by those Jang and IJ fans? No on second thoughts, don’t bother. Don’t waste time on their tweets.
Pardon my being dense, but is there an inter-se connection between the package and the proposal? I mean, I get that they both appear in these critical episodes in the three shows, and by corollary, we conclude the endgame. But is there a more abstract link between the idea of a package and a proposal that is implied?
Could the package of any kind resembles the ring that usually come with a proposal? A symbol of ones heart given to the one being proposed. I think I sound delusional🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao when i saw IJ at the end with a baseball 😂😂
I really didn’t expect that scene of Songhwa proposing to andrea “jeongwon-ah, let’s get married”, when i saw it i’m like junwan who dropped his phone when ikjun opened his door without knocking 😂😂
I read from the WG that on the let’s get married scene, andrea’s reaction there (shocked) is just the same when GU asked andrea for a dinner with just the two of them and he turned her down.. For me, andrea’s body language after that pause and shookt, he came closer to songhwa… Maybe the package is heavy that’s why it looks like he’s leaning towards SH, but that scene really feels different with what GU asking for dinner, it’s just my taek 😅
Btw, i saw this on twitter:
https://t.co/qv2TbWpXlI (https://twitter.com/ughnseop/status/1262578750476054528?s=20)
😁😆 the endgame that we deserve loljk but hoping 😅
Can i also ask if there’s a package present scene on reply 1997? I can’t remember it anymore, but the sechkies vs h.o.t fanwar i can’t forget that scene 😂
i was waiting for this. Yayyy! 👏🏻 As always you’re amazing @packmule3. Same here the 결혼하자 kyeorhon haja (let’s get married) part caught me offguard too, this phrase are always being said by couples or soon to be couples in kdramas. Avid kdrama fans need not to be fluent in korean to be familiar with this. SW could’ve chose JW, 결혼해 (kyeorhonhae) or 결혼하다 (kyeorhonhada) that literally translates to get married. But yes, the writer/PD would not put this line if there’s no meaning behind it. We could assume since JW was shocked and there was a moment of silence between the two. Netflix could’ve subbed it as “get married” only since Songhwa then added the find a nice lady and have kids part.
“A symbol of ones heart given to the one being proposed.”
@miracle23 haha. In ref your quote, I liked @nrllee’s taek 😉earlier, ie, the DLL programme was the 💓 being given by Andrea to SHwa, which was gladly and willingly accepted.
@011sn good question about R97! There, though, the ships were so evident from the get go, there wasn’t any room for a guessing game.
@packmule3 “So are we still being harassed on twitter by those Jang and IJ fans? No on second thoughts, don’t bother. Don’t waste time on their tweets.”
I think so 😅 funny thing is, they keep on lurking here and anticipate your next post. Maybe because this blog is so addicting haha
@L “Netflix could’ve subbed it as “get married” only since Songhwa then added the find a nice lady and have kids part.”
Maybe Netflix is a WG shipper 🙊🙊😂😂 oops.
@pickeleddragon you’re right, unlike r94 the husband hunt is fun because their names have “Jun/Joon”, and r88 is really challenging haha. I only remember on r97 the guessing game is between yoonjae and his brother?? After this season 1 of HP i’ll rewatch r97 😅
I love your closing. Strike to the point 😂😂😂
I like that endgame. 😂
Haha. Didn’t you like my ending pic? “Just saying…”
I can’t remember from 1997. 😂
Yes. That’s why it was important to see the HISTORY of this writer. Given the writer’s track record, jokes like that aren’t really jokes. They’re the endgame. 😂😂
They keep lurking here? 😂😂😂
🤷♀️ Let then read and weep then.
I saved the best for last. 🤪
Netflix has set its camp earlier with its thumbnails tip! Mayhap the subber is a WG … Bwahahahaha… subber, I am watching you!😎😎
Pickled dragon,
My take here is when you’re asked to carry a package, you’re asked to “share a load” in life. Sharing a load is what marriage is, right? Couples share their burdens with each other to make their own burdens lighter.
Trash asked Najung twice to wait for his package. Najung was a bit spoiled.
Deoksun only tasked Taec with a light package, the comic books. She knew him. He was a bit clumsy and forgetful so the comic books was heavy enough for him. And as one of the moms said, ordering him around was already a gutsy move. In fact, in some later episode, when DS ordered TK to get his own bag that he left in the baduk building, his baduk colleagues and admirers were shocked! TK did it without complaints bec it was DS who told him to do so.
As for Songhwa, she picked JW over IJ because JW was the mature and dependable guy of the two. We here all know that IJ is a 🤡 clown. He’s NOT Songhwa’s type. He makes her laugh with his antics but they’re incompatible in values and moral character.
IJ is for Jang.
IJ is for Jang.
Ik-Jang! IJ- meant to be! 😆
We need to find a nice shipping name for IJ-Jang. 🤔 FlowerGarden is so nice.
IJ-Jang Winter Wonderland? Romantic Winter? Aloha Winter?
Winter Wonderland! Because most of the time when IJ is on his phone or is not aware of things that’s happening, his on lalaland. 😄
Thanks for the explanation, @pm3! That helps understand the connection better 😊
I like Romantic Winter (presume the first part is a reference to IJ as Dr Romantic)!
And @agdr3, IKR, I always wonder each time he comes on screen at mealtimes, what on earth is he doing with his phone? And if he was a 90s kid, how did he survive that era without one 🙄
Yeah @agdr03. Like Alice…in Wonderland. IJ is living in some sort of fantasy world constantly. Not long to wait now for Ep11. I wonder if we will get IJ facing a crisis with UJu (and find out that UJu’s been missing him all this time). The nurse he spoke to about her daughter showed up with the problem in Ep10 (it doesn’t sound nice – seeing SHwa…and she was having peripheral vision loss…and that can mean tumour 🙁). Both of them spoke about their children to each other.
I am also wondering if they will reveal missing scenes now or leave it till later? If they only reveal the missing scenes from S1 in S2 or S3, we may have already forgotten the context? The seasons are so far apart, I don’t think S2 is set to air till June2021. If they opt to reveal missing scenes before end of S1 eg things like Andrea showing up for SHwa’s biopsy results it would certainly throw a spanner in the works for existing ships like IkSong and WinterGarden. That would be nice for us actually. Ep10 scenes was already causing quite a stir in their ranks.
As for the white jibbitz in IJ’s Crocs, a WGr said it looked like a white flower. Imma just going to pretend it’s this “white flower”. 😂
https://i.ibb.co/L0xq0rZ/EF04-A5-E8-FE28-4-FB8-BF2-E-AB7-F3-EDE0-EA5.jpg
Hmm maybe he’s checking on Uju first then checking the news, his messages and playing games too. 😊 He would be good company without it, that’s for sure. ☺️
I already updated the picture of Songhwa’s proposal to reflect “Jeongwon, let’s get married.”
TK:EM and HP are twinning with Alice theme, nice 😃
One things for sure, Uju will wake up IJ from his lalaland once he realises that Uju needs more attention.
I’d like to have more crumbs so I can last till next year but even without it, we already have substantial evidence as it is especially the ‘Jeongwon, let’s get married’ from Songhwa. I’m sure the ending will make us hang till next year. 🙃 Also we can always rewatch S1 before S2 for refreshers and our haven/garden here is full of different beautiful flowers as it is and it will continue to bloom. 🤞🏻
@packmule3 the words and of course the pictures. Its say it all and BOOM.. like i said it’s strike to the point. Overall i love everything about this blog. Btw i’m curious are you also script writer or psycholog ? Who knows right. Because i think all of statements here make sense 😂😂😂
Wonderful. I am running out of vocab to describe the ecstatic feeling I get after reading your posts (have to check the dictionary from now on). All the comments were great too.
IJ is pretty nosy with Jang’s love life . It is a bit derogatory, but how about Nosy Gardern 👿👿.
Sorry! if some one gets offended.
If one of my close friends behaves like IJ, I would definitely tell him to butt out.
Thank you @packmule3!
@nrllee that white ‘flower’! Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣
“I already updated the picture of Songhwa’s proposal to reflect “Jeongwon, let’s get married.”
I mean, how much clearer can it be for them to be end game? Fan girls are still talking chocopies and how Andrea acts weird around Jang…they take that to mean he somehow can’t figure her out and she’s “gotten to him”? On what planet? If I don’t like someone’s company I avoid them? I act uncomfortable around them? That is the simplest and easiest explanation? Yet they opt for the most convoluted explanation possible to feed their ship. Man I would hate to be the object of these girls’ affections. How can they misread someone like that? He may now have gotten to a point where she’s bearable and no longer in his bad books but that’s a far cry from wanting to date her? O but there’s 3 Seasons they say, plenty of time for him to warm up even more to her? 🙄. I will leave it to writer to sink their ship. I hope she does it sooner rather than later. MiDo said plot twist and S2 scripts are not done yet so she said that based on S1 scripts. I am holding her to it. A colossal one please. 👍
@miracle23, re the moon night, I think they’re referring to Lunar Calendar, not the regular calendar.
@Au101, I checked both but it gave me same result i.e. 14th Oct. You can refer to the url I put at the comment section. I am not familiar with lunar calendar and I don’t know if korean one and chinese one differs. Maybe you can help us clarify the lunar calendar for October 2019 😊. Thanks.
@nrllee, honestly I don’t how these girl came to their conclusion on these characters. I actually feel bad for the pd. He said in that post r88 interview that he will work hard on characterisations so that viewers will get them. But unfortunately many viewers still don’t. They just look on the surface and entertain their own feelings as well as dismiss the script. They still misunderstand the characters, big time, because they are more willing to take into account whatever fits their prerogatives. I see that as a matter of differences in viewing style. As long as they are happy @nrllee. Though they need to know it makes them toxic i.e. what they are doing to the flowergardeners. Really! Sigh.
Here some love from Jwon 😊

Cr. 유덕
so i found these tweets by an intellectual (LOL) to fan my ship lalala
https://twitter.com/flowergarden80/status/1262782704212307971/photo/1
https://twitter.com/flowergarden80/status/1262778486290186241
but then i wish there’s a filter option whenever i type ‘jeongwon songhwa’ on the search bar tho, coz i also saw ppl dubbing IJ x SHwa as PARENTS/ matchmakers for WG
idk whether to laugh or to cry, so i just scrolled past ’em LOL.
JWon give us love and after that Song Hwa passing by 😂 and BOOM all the shippers going crazy 😪
@hafunohane, that is one detail observation! The moms, the twins and she did another with the broken cigarette and the lighter. Something about one thing he broke and another he kept safe i.e. the lighter.
talking about IJ… after 10 episodes, I can say IJ is busy taking care other people. he thinks he knows everything but actually, no. he only sees from his own perspective.
start from he register his band as comedy, you can see actually the gang has a lil bit complain. you can see Junwan’s shock face when IJ say he register his and Iksun rap competition as a comedy also. dont forget about Iksun’s doctorate that he know nothing about.
that’s why at the time Songhwa ask IJ “what he does for himself” you can see IJ actually dont have idea. he just start thinking when Songhwa ask. IJ’s development from his divorce or quick judge about his patient’s day are good tbh.
but, IJ is still IJ. he’s not observant like JW or Songhwa. i dont like IJ’s quick judge and feel like know about everything.
added note: unfortunately, IJ whos busy taking care of other people and think he knows everything… actually he doesnt take care of himself and not understand well about himself too..
Hello all. Been reading your amazing analysis about HP since eps.7 and I read all of it. Your comments guys is also 🤯🤯 made me have to rewatch the episodes to pay moreee attention to details 😂
So happy that I found this, all of it is logically explained. And I just feel like crazy bcos I keep refresh ur page like everytime to fuel my flower garden boat. Lol
Anyway, there is also a guy playing with baseball in Reply 1988, yes JungHwan 🤭
Huh? JungHwan played baseball in Reply 1988??!!!! What scene? Do you remember? I can take a screenshot.
Welcome to the blog.
I don’t remember if junghwan played baseball in r88 but there’s a scene he’s holding the ball.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVFR6WBUEAAmOLE.jpg
I don’t remember what happened here but i think he’s in deep thoughts just like ikjun is reflecting on ep8/9.
Ah. So this scene. Thanks. Do you remember what episode? I’ll repost this, too on the blog.
If it’s as simple to decipher as “spot the guy with the baseball” or “packages indicate the endgame couple” then I’m v disappointed. I really don’t care who winds up with who. But if the endgame is as obviously advertised as that, in season one, with two more seasons to go, then what’s the point? It’s boring. Kudos to the analysts who worked it out. But I’d hope the writer isn’t so predictable. Surely she changes it up ….
Smarie, are you acting like this because you’re winter garden fan? Then, you’re in the wrong place, honey.
If you’re commenting here just to say you’re bored then we’re also bored — me, personally — that you’re commenting that you’re bored.
lol.
Consider this a warning. It’s hard to get in this blog once you’ve been blocked.
-pm3
@Smarie “If it’s as simple to decipher as “spot the guy with the baseball” or “packages indicate the endgame couple” then I’m v disappointed.”
Yes, the writer is reeeeeaaally unpredictable that’s why we are just looking for “easter eggs” 🙈 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ERCqP4RW4AAx8G8.jpg
It’s just for fun. Besides i think this hunting game is the charm and trademark of the PD-Writer. Didn’t you notice that the watchers of HP are not hyping the rating it got despite of it’s high rating or even the OSTs achievement. We’re too occupied for so many things, thinking about 9385763510 theories and possibilities. 😂
“But if the endgame is as obviously advertised as that, in season one, with two more seasons to go, then what’s the point? It’s boring.”
I think flowergarden is not obviously advertised, wintergarden though and iksong are OBVIOUSLY advertised. Flowergarden are just 1% of the population unlike with wintergarden who according to them is an “established ship”. And yet they are threatened when andrea and songhwa literally only have less than 5 minutes of exclusive content.
I don’t know, but i just can’t see WG (for now). They don’t seem so strong to me, their relationship should grow first than just merely annyeong and choco pies 🙊. Not much is shown about what made andrea fall for GU or even feel the same way about her. I haven’t seen any part of andrea reciprocating/ showing any ROMANTIC interest towards GU, i can see though the mentor and mentee relationship. And i can see GU will be a good doctor in near future because of her character development.
As for andrea and songhwa, I love this loveline. They are more of an old couple. These two also have a weird understanding that’s subtly hinted in their conversations. They understand each other’s needs without being too flashy about it. Their relationship is deep and mature to the point that it’s boring already for most.
“then what’s the point? It’s boring”
As you said, there are 2 more seasons. A lot can happen so let’s just enjoy things. 😊🚣🚣🚣🚣😁
😂 @Smarie. Those are just other hints dropped in amongst the important ones re : values and dialogue. And I see these obvious hints like baseballs and packages as P.D./Writer referencing their past works? It’s as if they are telling less astute fan girls, “Okay, if you miss the subtle hints about shared values, mirror scenes and lines…here are BIG obvious ones from past works to help you come to a decision about who gets the girl. Don’t say we never warned you.” 😂 I love their humor. So if fan girls can’t even get these big ones, it’s saying something. The fact that in spite of all this, the majority ships are still WinterGarden and IkSong? This duo well and truly know their audience will stick to their guns no matter how many “obvious” clues they throw at them.
😂 Color Theory has resurfaced with a vengeance (complete with pics). The baseball too except the reference was PP. But…PP had no spouse hunt? Why would you use that as a reference? Main protagonist was always going to get the girl? He had no competitors? It was all about whether their relationship would survive his incarceration? The poster utilises Reply for her Color Theories and PP only for her baseball reference? So strange to divide it like that. Although kudos to her for putting all that effort into it though, it looked pretty impressive. For those of you battle hardened from previous wars, she hails to Reply series times surely? So she would be familiar to you?
@011sn yeah it’s that scene. He’s not really playing like Chilbongie, but it reminds me of IkJun’s scene, playing the baseball in terms of having a deep tought.
@packmule3 I just started watching Reply88 and haven’t finish yet, but the one @011sn posted is in eps 6, when he is thinking about DS and SW, cmiiw. Don’t know if there’s more of it in the other episodes.
Thanks, annp18. One scene is good enough. 🙂
@011sn, 😉😉😉😉 😆😆😆
Bored is a word of non-existence in the flower garden, Smarie. It is unfortunate that you felt that way. Aren’t you also bored of the obvious advertisements of the more obvious lovelines? The most predictable ones? Well I am. Not only are they obviously bogus, they are also very very incompatible to one another. This coming from the type of scrutinising viewers like me. 😊 My logical and rational mind just can’t accept it, opposite attracts whatsoever. See, I got myself Chilbonged for a reason. Because the main loveline theme didn’t sit well with me. I didn’t know about clues and whatnots, but the pairing was so obvious to me especially with that kiss whenever she was drunk habit. So I moved on and gave my support to the one that my rational mind can tolerate. It is great that he is a nice guy too.
Just stick to the script and enjoy the fun of guessing at the clues given within the scenarios. Don’t go overboard to Mars when discussing the theories like those car plates etc. Those baseballs, those packages are just there to add to the fun. It is like a reminder to us. ‘Do you remember this? Or what it implies?’ PD Shin was called byeongtae for his crazy attention to details for a reason. This is one of it. If you are a fan of his work as well as the writer, you should at least be expecting a reminder or more of their previous works. That is what makes them different as I recently learned.
Cheers!🙂
@packmule3 @annp18 yes it’s in ep6 when junghwan is in deep thoughts.
I think he’s thinking about dukseon’s confession to sunwoo, he read dukseon’s post card to a radio station, the letter was returned to sender btw. On the postcard, dukseon wrote that she thinks sunwoo likes her, and she likes him too. (wait. Why does this scene looks familiar..like when IJ thinks andrea likes GU? Hhmmmm..just coincidence? 🙊)
And then next scene, junghwan is playing the baseball, jungbong entered his room saying “junghwan..snow-” junghwan got up quickly to look but it’s not yet snowing 😂.
This is the confession on the first snow fall where dukseon is heart broken to sunwoo because sunwoo said that he likes bora.
Is the color theory a thing with this duo (PD-Writer)?? It’s funny how they said before that HP is different to reply series because HP is life series but now they are also posting and comparing HP to reply series but with color theories, couple shirts and plate number 😅
Btw, have you seen this tvn’s tease?
https://twitter.com/100gilove/status/1262988077720428544?s=20
“Winter Garden is rising sharply”
“jeongwon’s heart is ..”
^Wow they really market the WG haha 🙊
I’m ready for ep11. Aside from GU’s first operation, i think there will be a conflict between junwan and ikjun because of iksun. That’s why junwan looks wasted on karaoke. Do you think they will fight? I think ikjun will not accept (at first) their relationship. Like he will feel betrayed? I don’t know, we’ll just see hihi see you on group watch ladies! ❤
@miracle23 I liked Chilbongie better as a person so I didn’t want to watch anymore after Ep5/6 😂 because I knew he wasn’t going to end up with the girl.
There’s also talk about the bowl cuts…Trash had one, Taek too and the protagonist in PP had one too. The only one with a bowl cut in HP is UJu? So I guess the burning question is…will it be Mone or Mane for UJu? 🤔. I can’t decide? It would help if the writer gave us visuals of the girls? That may help us? 😂. Or is it just Mone that’s the girl and Mane is a boy? Like the twin med students? If so, then my money is on Mone. IJ is the one who keeps confusing the 2.
@nrllee – Color theory => I read it and at the end, I was dazed. Blue and red = marriage ; SHwa = purple and IJ = yellow = Uju = universe is yellow SH= green ; I glanced over it and just moved on. What did you mean it was good? Two lemonade drinks == yellow between SH and Shwa ? You will have to explain in detail when you have a chance in layman’s language.
Anyway, looking forward to tomorrow episode. Will join you folks either morning or evening.
@angelwingssf. I ignored the color theory. 😂. For me colors are there to enhance your viewing visually and that’s where it ends. If you want a contemplative scene, you mute the colors. If you want a brighter, lighter mood, you liven the colors. Or if you want a color theme run through a show, you keep it constant (an example of this is Great Expectations 1998 film – green is a theme that runs through the whole movie). All these theories and clues need to be looked at in the context of the story. It really is all about the story that’s unfolding and what the writer is trying to tell us. They are nice add ons but honestly they shouldn’t be the ONLY basis for establishing couple pairings. And that’s true in real life too? When you pick a life partner, you don’t just think matching clothes or jibbitz or licence plates? You look at shared values, beliefs, life goals. That is the basis upon which you choose. It will honestly save you a lot of grief after you get married. You won’t get into arguments about how to spend money, or what to do on a Sunday, or how to bring up your children. It future proofs your marriage.
@nrllee, jjang! 👍👍👍 I couldn’t agree more. Aigoo, how can one based a life partner solely on color-coded preferences. A recipe for disaster indeed! That only happens in a delusional shipping world. If you take a peek at the actor/actress shipping threads, these color coded, matching items are abundance. At first it was interesting but then it got creepy scary. Quoting YYS, “Pass!”, moving on… 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks, but no thanks.
Ah, Chilbong…. I binge-watched the series. As the sun was rising, I was watching the part at the hospital where Chilbong finally realised she was still hung up on trash and he lied to her saying he was already ok and secretly got discharged from hospital, I cried buckets 😭😭😭😭. The birds chirping accompanied my crying. What a sad memory 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If it happens again in HP, I might cry me a sea for Jwon😆😆
Btw, isn’t Jwon’s hairstyle a bowl cut too? A fashionably curly longer type of bowl cut. More in trend. Well, it’ s 2019 anyway. 🤭🤭🤭

Maybe. But when I think bowl cut (the straight short fringe – cringe 😬), I think Trash…and this guy from PP.

When I first saw UJu I thought O no, the hair cut, poor thing. 😂. And SH.
My nephew and niece got the same haircut @nrllee. 😅 It’s the most common one for kids especially if the parent are the barber in action🤭🤭🤭
I am glad we don’t see that on the guys. Oh wait! Shyeong! He had that hairstyle too!🤣🤣🤣
“ It’s the most common one for kids especially if the parent are the barber in action”
😂 Yup. I sported something similar in my childhood days and my children had to endure those haircuts as well. Good times.
PM3, I am also like the haters from twitter, :D, except that I am of course pro andrea-songhwa. I am also always reading all your posts, and have been skipping the episodes, or more appropriate thing to say would be skimming through them to get the gist.
And after this post, well right now the match is , IJ-5, Andrea-0. But the game can change any moment. 😀 I am waiting for the last two sets 😀
For me, I am still waiting to know, whom songhwa used to like back from her medical school days. I think it makes a lot of difference. Also what’s interesting is, how she says ‘But I love my nieces and nephews. Uju is so cute. I haven’t seen Uju in a while.” She addresses him as her nephew. She doesn’t say my son. Some people mention other people’s kids affectionately as their own.
Somehow also songhwa-captain ahn, jeong won- jang mirror both their situation. But anyway let’s see. I was also quite excited by that ‘let’s go married’ scene. Thanks to the person who translated that scene properly. 🙂
I feel like both song hwa and jeong won are like philanthropists who like to take care of their patients from a selfless place. So if it is really where we think it’s heading then it will be again a masterpiece like reply ’88.
@Nearsea yeah, I think the critical question is whether the show will give us enough information to update the character sketches of Songhwa and Andrea, which are as yet unfinished. I hope they don’t keep those for the next season. 🙄
I am gonna put this here before I forget. Cr. Anonymous:
The scene in Jwan’s car with Jwon. Jwan talked about Shyeong. He said, “Jinjja narang an maja” in which Jwon replied, “Na, Ik Jun”
That expression “Jinjja an maja” actually means “we’re not like-minded”.
This brought me back to Jwon’s first impression of Jang when he used this expression. He was saying Jang and him are not like-minded. Similarly, during the smoking scene, that thought was brought back to him when IJ suggested he likes Jang.
From this translation alone, we can easily deduce that Jwon cannot be on the same wavelenght with Jang’s and IJ’s mind. But Jang and IJ surely match each other.🤭 Jwon put them both under the same category.
Sun Woo in reply 1988 plays baseball too.. HAHAHAHAHA and he was not the husband.
Hi! I just want to drop by and say that I have been enjoying reading your posts and comments these past few weeks (going through the pandemic and all). And I am in AWE on how spot on your analyses are. You guys, are amazing.
I’m a big YYS trash and at first, I didn’t care who he ended up with as long as he sang on the show. On the wintergarden thing -I would probably have accepted that face-value if not for this blog (although, I’m a low-key flower garden shipper). After reading your posts, I had an epiphany of sorts. Now, I have been discerning scenes carefully and been starting to see the writer’s intention. I was so proud of myself when I called out on IJ being wrong about his patient’s father coming back.
I know you read and interpret the show based on the writing and characterizations but I just want to add a comment made by my brother. He’s a guy so he’s not invested too much with the drama but he knows a little thing or two on which actors are popular in Korea, etc. He’s adamant that there’s something going on with YYS’s character. He keeps on saying that YYS’ agency would not accept him being second in the billing unless there’s a big payoff. So there’s more to his character than meets the eye.
@Tin are you a WGr or IkSong-er who tried to sneak in? Kinda low (and desperate) if you are. 🙄
@nrllee i don’t think @Tin is a WG coz she said she is low key a flower garden shipper? 🙂 anyway @Tin i think i get what you’re trying to say.. YYS is known to be quite a versatile actor who has played antagonists and even playboy roles before, so far his big payoff for me is his priesthood plan, but there may be more..
oops sorry @nrllee @wuzzie i misread the comment… hahaha maybe @Tin was just adding to the examples of baseball=not the main character’s husband. sunwoo is indeed not DS husband as he’s her broinlaw 😀
@Tin I apologize if I falsely accused you. 1000 apologies.
