Thanks for being on the ball @pkml3! I almost forgot that tmr is Saturday!!! I’m paying more attention to ‘Positively Yours’ and ‘My Page in the 90s’ at the moment. I’ll have to rewatch before the rewatch to remember what’s going on with R:WotS!!! 😅🥸😶🌫️
Starting.
Hi Everyone,… we’re about to begin. We start NOW!!!
We continue with the trial where JW points out that the Ilho subcontractor has no choice but to do as Ilho wants ie to blame the explosion on the light bulb factory, when it was a fake accusation.
Hi @IB, right on schedule!
Hi GB and IF.
Hi @WE.
Seem NGM must act out in anger and expect his victims to just accept it. He slaps Park DG in front of his people, JW and In Ah.
Hi there @WE! Park DG expects that comeuppance will come seeking NGM.
To save the light bulb company is also a hit against Il-Ho group and Guy-Man so of course.
Just now at 01:30, Dong-Ho slapped and threated like a dog. GASP. Kind of humilation that can’t be forgiven.
In court just before the slap, added is that Gyu Man gets the lions share of the closeups, but DongHo and Seo Beom also are seen — setting the main character list for the episode?
@WE, we get the touching scenes of sons with their fathers. JW recalls how his father could not even remember him.
Then he finds out that it’s Park DG who recommended him to the light bulb company father and son. He wonders why.
Speaking of music, wasnt that muuted cymbal just for the appearance of the face of Manager Geum? The trailing rat from Boos Suk, eavesdropping on the detective (retired) and DongHo talking about Nam Il Ho and DH’s accident w his dad?
@IB @WE, finally I caught the conversation with the policeman… Park DG finds out Ilho Group had been formed from another company after it’s boss had mysteriously died. Possibility of murder?? Also that Park’s father had refused to follow orders and been running away during the time of the accident that killed JW’s mum and brother.
In Ha is drunk in a cute way. ^^ 🙂
Yes I think there was a sound to alert us to the rat.
@WE In Ah is cute and lady manager can guess that In Ah and JW should have some time to themselves but Jae Ik is unable to read the room.
The Hyungnim of Dong-Ho is endlessely disappointing, even more than Dong-Ho. Probably it’s because of him that Dong-Ho wasted so much time instead to help Jin-Woo frankly.
Hyung Nim or Suk Joo Ill is the one who sent the rat to check on what Dong Ho is doing. He’s Dong Ho’s weakness.
It’s good that Dong Ho and Suk Joo Ill go their separate ways.
JW’s memory loss is becoming apparent to In Ah.
It’s off-topic, but I need to tell it to free my soul: as I ended editing of last 12 episodes of W2, I’m doing pictures, using a good AI. I finished ep43, but even with image generation, it’s damn long to do. It’s quite frustrating, and the most of the joy comes when I finished an episode, looking how it feels with all the pictures I could do. I try to generate less pictures than previous episodes, but it’s yet 60+. Just I can now generate more significant pictures that was too difficult to create before.
Damnit, I have chicken to cook, but I regret now that I don’t have a pizza like them…. T T
Lot of conforting, relationships, emotional scenes.
@WE
(even more off-topic)
a post like that generates so many context questions for an old person — how do you chunk actions, replace ‘picture’/image (is that like an old-fashioned frame?)…endless need for navigation points in order to imagine how you do what you do.
Wahooo! I rarely see such an elipse. The corrupted detective makes a scandal in restaurant. RIGHT NOW, next scene is him hanged in a warehouse, facing Gyu-Man. Amazing shortcut.
I see a process of depicting shifts in relationships; signalled by flashbacks, punctuated by funny arguments about who is older (shifting interpersonal dynamics ala korea)
All of the strands interwovenb..
Can we count the strands? Since even criminal relationships are cloaked in the false language of family….
Most obvious DH and his substitute Dad Boss Seok, countered by his read Dad.
In-Ah and JW
Det Gwak, ‘I am your dog’, and the whole criminal enterprise but more personally w/gyu man.
Seo Beom and Gyu Man (no flashbacks per se)
Judge Kang Suk Khyu w/gyu Man’s sister countered by In Ah and JW
Creep Moo Suk with Pro Tak and InAh.
@IF, I work now on freepic/pikaso AI. I can generate a model for a character, and re-use it in a set. I can upload “reference” images, like a place, or anything, and put the character into it. Just, the limitation for now is it can’t take two models of characters. (eventually, I can cheat around by reusing a previous image with the 2nd character, but there are risks of degrading).
So the process is better than MidJourney AI. And I don’t risk MJ censorship, as pikaso uses many generators (google banana, most censured one, but also seedDream, flux, etc, a dozen). Then I can generate horror pictures or scenes with explosions, dead corpses, etc. I already made an update on my blog, as I could add two horror pictures at start of episode 1. Just look at first scenes:

Lee Si-Un “clenches his fist in anger”. AHAH!
Should be in any kdrama at least once since kdramas exist? 😀
Oh, a funny scene: Guy-Man serving food for the poor. The fake “good action from rich”. But it will turn in a disaster after he gets a video of bad things he did. 🙂
Det Gwak and JW
The enemy of my enemy is my ally.
AAaahhh. Soo Gooood. Prosecutor TAK, comes to perquisition the office of the bad chief prosecutor. Higly satisfacting for him and audience. 🙂
The scene with the doctor is like a blade falling on our heads. Jin Woo is condemned. At best one year, at worst 6 months if he’s too much tired using his intelligence at best and too stressed. ARRGHHHHHHHHHHH.
The cliffhanger: it annoys me, because it’s supposed to be a secret room, so, In Ah should close it when she enter. But no, she stupidly let the door opens, so Gyu-Man can find it. GRRRRR!!!
Wow. What a cliffhanger. So glad I am not watching this on air. A week of worrying would have shortened my life considerably.
And Whyever is the door to the one-room office left unlocked — especially when a woman is working there alone?
@WE, Congratulations on making progress with AI!
My husband likes doing something similar with photos he takes. It’s easy to make the person in the photo strike poses, change clothes and change the backgrounds.
Nice cliffhanger!
A Nausea list could also be made.
Gyu Man humiliating Seo Beom again in front of another upper-class guy (as he did in front of Kang Suk Kyu at dinner a few episodes ago).
This time it is in his office. Seo Beom is challenged by rich guy #2 to show deference. Gyu Man joins in to the harassment with his specialties —
1. (singular to SB) inappropriate reference to a private relationship in a context where SB cannot even protest just a little (classic kdrama fist-clenchimng moment)
2. but also reference to the scene last episode where gyu man forces Det.Gwaks head to within a nose-length of the carpet. There Seo Beom was noticeably uncomfortable/got the reaction shot, here it is done to him (modified, standing bow made deeper).
I played a few minutes of ep13 to reassure myself.
Now eating a hopeful salad. Springtime ‘blood cleansers’ — garlic & parsely (w/beets).
Maybe spring will actually come by March.
Bye @WE, @GB. Until next week.
