Hi Here.
Coming early.

Alas I didn’t have time to make pictures for W2, but last days I reread Ep49 to 54.
As I had already edited and edited again, I was surprised to still find typos or other little errors. And… I even found a potential plot-hole, that someone nitpicking could consider as such. So I changed a dialog line avoiding the case. Damn, it’s crazy that I could still find this kind of mistake. But reading my draft notes again, I saw that I mentionned that into it. Just I didn’t know how to solve that at that time. In real, it was really simple, probably I had a better clear mind this morning.

Before we start, I thought it was odd that there is so much recap to begin with, and its only the second episode.

I just went to check and it was also a wed/thurs show so there wasnt even much time or weekend fun in between the two episodes.

Is it there bec there is so much material in ep1 that even at the time there was a felt need to re-present it?

it is certainly convenient for us, who have had 2 weeks!

Hi @MM! Yes, 10:00! I didnt mean to confuse anyone!

Me too.

I have a husky howling in my ear because the rest of my family has gone out.

We are back at Kevin Bacon which At GB. Wrote about on the what are we watching thread?

@WE hi!

I think that in a swift way the recap is like most of the previous episode — framed as Dal Po’s memories while he stands there on the podium of the quiz show?

It isnt exact but the transition to the show has the announcer’s voice coming in over the last memories.

I dont have subtitles over any of the recaps in this show.

Dal Po has a secret, explaining why he finally go to the TV.
Probably the next flashback will give it.

I didn’t remember that Park Shin Hye was so excellent in this drama. But now I remember, it’s the first drama I watched with her, so later, I watched many many dramas just because she was the actress.

The horrible murderer from I can hear your voice in her imagination

She destroy her paper about her carrer with her antics. AHHAH!

Gosh, there is even the music of the drama and a scene identical to IHYV.. brillant.

There isn’t a job where not lying is a plus, except… hey hey, journalist of course. Public will have confidence in a journalist with Pinochio syndrome. But it suppose something a bit utopic that medias don’t lie. Ok maybe not too much at this time in Korea?

Gosh!! Know I remember the actor being the brother. He was young at this time. It’s a tall and strong man, he was an epic warrior in 6 flying dragons.

the brother 15.14, the poster? the implication tells us it is the date of..the fire?

@the brother actor showed up in Resident Playbook wearing pajamas as a sleepy male nurse and a very good husband of one of the lawyers.

18.10 the vicious rumors begin…and then gossip. Like social media now. A constant refrain over unjust accusations, why does the victim of rumor have to apologize for something he didnt do? Why does he have to prove he is innocent when there is no evidence?

Or when the evidence is fabricated (looking at you, the creep who framed KSH).

He fight the gossip with gossip.
Such a painful situation, relating directly to his past.
PSH could save the day, but choose not… for now.

The voiceover in the hallway was Dal Po…

@WE
27
It was her loyalty to Dal Po that she was lying about
or was it a lie that she didnt stand up for him?
A non-verbal lie?

It’s a big booboo.

“My uncle cant become an idiot! He is already getting bullied. He cant be a loner and an idiot too!!!”
lmao.

@IF: yes. I just watched this scene right now.
Then In Ha finds that Dal Po read looots of books.

I am at 29 minutes and trying to catch up.

Is his motivation to go on the show to prove he is smart enough to have not cheated so she will not get hit 10 times?

Hi too @MM!!

I did a rewatch of this episode myself and keep marveling at how our Writer Park sets up so much ready for the future conflict.

Elevator scene. Intense.

Hi GB, it’s still nice to see you! Thanks for coming.

How about I start with them in the ambulance and In Ha thinking that DP is more damaged than he really is?

Or the part DP slices open his literal Piggy Bank to get money to buy a ticket to Seoul?

Oh @WE, I liked the elevator scene. It gave the producer guy the flashbacks and he had to admit that DP spoke the truth.

@IB yes the reporter or producer guy is the same in the flashback and will appear in the future as well. He will remember DP.

Emblematic cult scene with the construction plots. 😉

So, the reporter remembers the words of the brother at the scene of mom’s suicide but doesnt realize DalPo is the missing child at that scene.

Later that does happen, but in the meantime…

A voice-over from the future. 🙂

There are so many secrets that this family is unhealthily keeping from each other.

DP is a fake son. Old grandfather knows more than he lets on. IH will have her own secret… her dad too and they have to hide stuff from her dad.

The reporter guy is also in the conversation where they are discussing whether to show the scenes of distress that dalpo was showing in the exchanges. I think with the evil lady reporter. Back in the past.

@MM yes, that’s right … when he was a reporter then he was present when the discussion on showing the distressed brother scenes came up. I really hated that female reporter then.

I remember wanting for DP to meet his brother so badly when I first watched this show. If only he had, perhaps the later tragedy would not have happened.

@IB MOTA = Memories of the Alhambara. I liked the show but did not like the role given to PSH. It felt like she was an unnecessary extra in many parts of it. Writer had to make her more relevant by writing her in as a hologram as well.

I like the way the ending quietly sets up our apprehension for what is going to happen

til next week.

@MM this series does have great endings that tell us what to expect next… and yet they are not cliff hangers but just good set up.

@IB, quite an appropriate quotation for the horrors faced by the family. All the damage because of rumours and the mistaken identity caused by a pinocchio who reported that the fireman father was alive.

By rights, not only should DP hate reporters but pinocchios as well … but we see how ironically he ends up exactly where he hated to be.

@IB… I should check my subs. I missed mention of the pipe. Also I never read Henry IV.

Thank you for this quote. For some reason I think there was something about multi-headed Beast in the voiceover or on the quiz show?

I thought it was a mistranslation and didnt notice it until this watch. I think it is a rare kind of mistranslation.

One of those situations where the translator for the subtitles imagines that the ‘pipe’ will be so familiar in English that it can be used as a signifier.

Of course, truth be told, few of us have seen staged performances of Shakespeare or read a play or two in college.

And Macbeth is full of rumor and metaphorical instruments but ‘pipe’ is not used.

@IF. Yes, I was remembering that the remains will be found.

Not remembering how the story goes though. Made me wonder if he is talking about how challenging his relationship is with the female lead, and here we have the situation that will lead to this all coming out into the open. The discovery of his father’s remains

@WE, while I like that scene in MOTA (also in the rain!!!) I can’t say it shows off PSH at her best. LOL. She only had to look confused and stay put.

@MM, still here?

Ok, time to organize my Group-Round watching for the Cup.
Bye @GB! Bye @WE!
Talk later, MM!
See you all next week!

Maybe tomorrow is another break in the schedule
