I'm Sorry, I Love You | Full K-drama Review / Ep. 95 · Daebak K-Rambles Podcast: K-drama Reviews

• 0:19
  I'm Jessica and this is Taba K Rambles where a couple of
• 0:22
  friends review Korean dramas and we're back for a throwback
• 0:26
  episode, a throwback K drama. And for this episode, I'm joined
• 0:30
  by my friend Lola from Lola Pops off about K dramas.
• 0:34
  How are you, Lola? Good, I'm so good.
• 0:36
  How are you it's good to see you.
• 0:38
  I'm super excited. Also slightly nervous, but not
• 0:41
  really, because every time I come in here, I'm like, I have
• 0:44
  such a good time just chatting with you.
• 0:46
  But then I'm also like, wait a minute.
• 0:48
  There's probably hundreds of people that are going to listen
• 0:50
  to this. Wait a minute.
• 0:51
  SNA Focus girl, focus. Please don't think of it that
• 0:55
  way. Honestly, I think like 5 people
• 0:59
  listen to me like that's how that's how I get through it.
• 1:01
  That's how I get through it. Yes, you know 5.
• 1:04
  People, no one's listening, Yeah.
• 1:06
  No one's listening because I always, you know, we're like
• 1:09
  very opinionated. We talk our shit and we have a
• 1:12
  lot of fun and we keep it light a lot of the time.
• 1:15
  So if I'm thinking people are getting riled.
• 1:18
  Up about anything that we think I didn't.
• 1:21
  Do it. Yeah, I wouldn't.
• 1:22
  I would sit here and, like, be frozen anyway.
• 1:25
  Lola, how have you been? What have you been watching
• 1:28
  lately? Please let me know.
• 1:30
  So I've been doing well and I have been slow with my K drama
• 1:34
  watching. I'm going to be honest, like I
• 1:35
  haven't been as up on it, but most recently I I've been
• 1:41
  starting or started watching the first night with the Duke with,
• 1:45
  you know, our K pop duo, which has been great.
• 1:48
  It's been great. I mean, I'm actually not that
• 1:50
  great. Why do you?
• 1:52
  I don't mean to laugh but like when you said K pop duo, I just
• 1:55
  thought of that old like water park commercial with SNSD and
• 1:59
  2:00 PM. Yes.
• 2:01
  What was it for beer? Wasn't it for like Cass?
• 2:03
  Was that was it for like the Cass beer?
• 2:06
  It was a water park. Do you remember?
• 2:08
  It was the entire like thing. But I thought it was.
• 2:10
  It was for the water park. I remember the one about the
• 2:12
  beer I thought it was. I thought they were together in
• 2:15
  this beer commercial, too. Maybe that was just 2:00 PM.
• 2:17
  It's only been 20 years. 20 years, right?
• 2:21
  But I I think I probably know what you're saying.
• 2:23
  Yeah, pitching. Now I have to send you.
• 2:26
  The link please put this. I'll put it somewhere like this
• 2:30
  commercial. It's freaking wild.
• 2:33
  There's love lines in it. They're honestly 2:00 PM.
• 2:35
  Is applying sunscreen to like SNC?
• 2:39
  Yes, wait a minute. Oh my gosh, I think I know
• 2:41
  exactly what was that for, though.
• 2:43
  It was a water. Park.
• 2:43
  It was a water. Park.
• 2:44
  That's what it was. I remember that.
• 2:48
  Oh, but OK, yeah. So now we're circling back.
• 2:52
  And I'm sorry that was. Text, Text and this drama.
• 2:56
  Yeah. What is it?
• 2:57
  So young. Are you liking it?
• 3:01
  Not it's not the best, I'm going to be honest, but it's it's easy
• 3:05
  to watch. So I'm still checking out.
• 3:07
  But as far as my favorite that I'm watching right now, it
• 3:09
  definitely would have to be Our Unwritten Soul.
• 3:13
  I just finished I. Think yes, it just finished like
• 3:15
  this weekend, but I haven't watched the final two episodes.
• 3:17
  So yeah, I haven't gotten to it yet, but we've been loving that.
• 3:22
  I have been loving that one. Love to hear it.
• 3:24
  I will say Our Unwritten Soul is The One Show out of the ones
• 3:28
  that you've mentioned that I have on my finished 2025 list,
• 3:31
  my infamous finish the year list.
• 3:34
  I know that I always make. Hopefully I get to it.
• 3:37
  I always basically binge watch everything that I missed in the
• 3:40
  year that interests me. Yeah, in the last quarter of the
• 3:44
  year. Which is a good idea because
• 3:47
  sometimes you got to, you got to let all of it kind of marinate,
• 3:50
  let it do run its course, see what everybody else is talking
• 3:53
  about. And then you're like, you know
• 3:54
  what? OK, these are the ones I'm going
• 3:56
  to actually go back and watch. I think that's a great idea.
• 3:58
  I hate being a Guinea pig. That's right, I don't like being
• 4:03
  a Guinea pig anymore. I do like being a Guinea pig
• 4:05
  though, I you. You give a lot of.
• 4:07
  Things a shot. I do, and I admire you for it.
• 4:11
  I like, I don't. I I like, like I say, I go
• 4:15
  through a little bit of the pain and the torture.
• 4:17
  I mean, I've done less this year than I've ever have in the past.
• 4:20
  But like I do get a kick out of it sometimes when I'm like,
• 4:23
  okay, no ones watching this. So let me watch it like I will
• 4:26
  do that. I will do.
• 4:28
  That. You're more well-rounded.
• 4:32
  No, I'm a better person for it. OK.
• 4:35
  We are better people for having watched I'm Sorry I Love You
• 4:41
  from 2004. That is the drama we are going
• 4:46
  to be covering today. It is a throwback drama, Lola.
• 4:50
  You have an entire series. You haven't done it in a while,
• 4:53
  but you have the throwback drama series.
• 4:55
  Yes, throwing it back with Lola, that is my one of my I really
• 4:59
  honed on last year last season on my podcast, but I haven't
• 5:03
  really done as many this this season.
• 5:05
  It's hopefully for the the second-half of the year we might
• 5:08
  have a lot more coming up. So this was a nice jump start I
• 5:10
  think for me to get back. Back into the groove, yeah.
• 5:13
  Get back into the groove, throwing it back to these old
• 5:15
  ones. And when you said this one, you
• 5:17
  actually messaged me about this. I was like, how dare Steve, How
• 5:21
  dare you bring me along for this again?
• 5:24
  I can't believe you've done that.
• 5:25
  Literally. I was like, who's going to do
• 5:28
  this? Who's who?
• 5:29
  Would be the first, yeah. Who would possibly.
• 5:31
  And you thought of me immediately.
• 5:33
  I'm sure I was going to. Do you knew it?
• 5:36
  You knew I would. You knew I would.
• 5:38
  You were right. I would.
• 5:39
  I would put myself back through this for you.
• 5:40
  I would. I was like, I think Lola is
• 5:43
  down. She's she's brave.
• 5:46
  She's a brave soldier, and she would be willing to revisit
• 5:49
  this. And I'm pretty sure that you had
• 5:51
  watched it before. I was telling you before.
• 5:53
  It'd been about 10 years since I had seen it the first time.
• 5:56
  And so, so I had largely forgotten a lot of stuff, like a
• 6:00
  lot of the nitty gritty and, and when I was watching, I was like
• 6:05
  in deep in deep. I was like, Oh my God.
• 6:09
  So there's a lot, a lot that we got to cover.
• 6:11
  On this show? Oh yes.
• 6:13
  Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.

• 7:01
  OK, so we are going to do non spoiler and spoiler section for
• 7:06
  The Cave drama. I'm sorry I love you.
• 7:08
  I'll start us off with the MDL synopsis which reads TA Mujiyuk
• 7:13
  was adopted by an Australian family but was abused and left
• 7:16
  homeless at an early age. One day, he comes across some
• 7:20
  Lunte, the coordinator for Tegyun, a famous singer in Korea
• 7:24
  whom she is secretly in love with.
• 7:26
  Her faithful encounter with Mujiyuk ends up affecting not
• 7:29
  only her life but that of her precious Yoon as well.
• 7:33
  OK, because of an accident the way these are like written
• 7:37
  sometimes. I the best, they're the best.
• 7:40
  Get mad at this. Because of an accident involving
• 7:44
  his ex-girlfriend, Mujio is left with three months to live.
• 7:48
  This leads to him heading back to Korea in search of his
• 7:50
  biological mother. The discoveries he makes change
• 7:53
  his heart from longing to revenge.
• 7:56
  Even with all this darkness surrounding him, he finds an
• 7:59
  unexpected source of happiness with someone he did not expect
• 8:03
  to love. I'll give you 2 guesses.
• 8:06
  Who it is OK. This drama aired from November
• 8:11
  to December 2004. This is 21 years old, OK.
• 8:18
  And I didn't say this when you were saying it's been about two
• 8:21
  years for you. I realize it's been closer to
• 8:23
  about 15, almost 20 years for me.
• 8:27
  And I was like, wait a minute, it hasn't been two years.
• 8:29
  I think I forget what year I've been.
• 8:32
  Literally the same because I'll be like, I watched that like the
• 8:35
  other day and the other day. No, you did two weeks ago or 15
• 8:39
  years ago. Or 15 years ago.
• 8:41
  I feel that way all the time. I this one definitely.
• 8:43
  I felt the distance though with this one.
• 8:45
  I totally felt that it had been almost 20 years since I've seen
• 8:48
  this one. Yeah, absolutely.
• 8:49
  I felt the distance as well. I definitely needed the rewatch
• 8:52
  on this one. I'll take us back to EU 2004.
• 8:56
  I love to do these little time and place for these throwback
• 9:01
  episodes. So the single released by usher
• 9:04
  featuring Lil John and Ludacris was released.
• 9:08
  Janet Jacksons wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl
• 9:11
  hashtime show. That was.
• 9:15
  What? OK, OK.
• 9:16
  Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard dorm,
• 9:21
  began. In two, 204 was a year man.
• 9:25
  At the 76th Academy Awards, the Lord of the Rings Return of the
• 9:28
  King swept the Oscars. Oh cool.
• 9:31
  And these are the movies that were released in 2004.
• 9:34
  Obviously, this list is not exhaustive.
• 9:36
  Mean Girls 13 going on 30 The best.
• 9:39
  The Notebook, The best 51st dates, I love A Cinderella
• 9:43
  Story, White Chicks, Kill Bill Volume 2 of The Incredibles, and
• 9:49
  Sam Raimi's Spider Man 2, which is arguably the best one of that
• 9:54
  trilogy. So there you have it.
• 9:57
  That's a snapshot of 2004. This show is 16 episodes long.
• 10:03
  It's directed by EE Hyung Min. This director is iconic.
• 10:08
  OK? He started out with Winter
• 10:11
  Sonata from 2002. I see you like already making
• 10:17
  faces already like Oh my God you did you do a winter Sonata
• 10:21
  episode or? Was that somebody else?
• 10:23
  So what I I think it was Nas did that yes.
• 10:26
  I want to say yeah, I went to Winter Sonata, but I did do
• 10:30
  Autumn in my heart with Nas that same that's right same year with
• 10:33
  her. That was a rewatch.
• 10:35
  Autumn in my heart was a was a time but.
• 10:37
  Yeah, The Four Seasons. The Four Seasons.
• 10:39
  The Four Seasons shows we covered Autumn in My Heart a
• 10:42
  couple of years ago, I think I think it was a couple of years
• 10:45
  ago, but yeah, that you can scroll back on your podcast feed
• 10:47
  and listen to that one. But that's part of that series.
• 10:50
  It's an unofficial like title for that series of shows that
• 10:54
  came out in the early aughts. This director's done Bad Guy,
• 10:57
  Orange Mumlod, My Horrible Boss, Strong Girl, Bong Soon from
• 11:02
  2017, which there is an episode on as well, Chocolate From Now
• 11:07
  On, Showtime, and most recently, Miss Night and Day.
• 11:11
  So that's this director. It was written by EE Kyungi.
• 11:15
  She has written a bunch of stuff, but she is more of like
• 11:19
  the old guard, kind of a screenwriter from yesteryear.
• 11:23
  She's done shows like a Love to Kill from O56, Love Stories,
• 11:28
  Sangu, Let's Go to School, Pure Heart.
• 11:30
  But the ones that I like to point out are The Innocent Man
• 11:34
  from 2012 and you like. Yes, Oh my God, that was that
• 11:40
  was a time. That was a time.
• 11:42
  That was a time. That's Song Junkie and Oh my
• 11:46
  God, what's her name? I'm blanking too.
• 11:50
  I'm. Blanking too.
• 11:51
  But anyway, that's a really good show.
• 11:53
  Also, like super dramatic. So dramatic.
• 11:57
  Oh, the so dramatic. Yeah, so dramatic,
• 12:00
  uncontrollably fond, she wrote from 2016.
• 12:05
  I feel like that's a close cousin.
• 12:07
  I'm sorry, I love you. Yeah, I can totally see that.
• 12:10
  Totally. She also wrote chocolate, so her
• 12:13
  and the director got together again and teamed up because she
• 12:17
  wrote chocolate and he directed chocolate.
• 12:20
  So this show stars the icon that is Ho Chi sub.
• 12:25
  He plays Cham Yok. He's been in about 12 movies
• 12:29
  including rough Cut from O8 which really did a lot for his
• 12:32
  career. So if he's revenge, always.
• 12:35
  Always. Do you love it?
• 12:36
  Always. Pay attention to the feed y'all,
• 12:39
  because you might see always coming up soon.
• 12:44
  A company Man, Battleship Island, a couple of Alien Noid
• 12:47
  movies most recently, and then he's done 22 TV shows.
• 12:52
  The early aughts were when he was really cooking, like
• 12:55
  Memories of Bali, which you have an episode on.
• 12:59
  Oh yes? Oh girl, I don't know how you
• 13:01
  got through that one. To be honest, that rewatch, it
• 13:05
  was good. It was good.
• 13:06
  I'm not going to lie, I had AI, had a blast.
• 13:09
  You had a time and I. Know.
• 13:11
  I don't know how, I don't know. How you did that, I don't know
• 13:14
  how I'll tell the quick story of my memories of Bali experience
• 13:18
  which just makes 2 sentences. Miguel, who was most recently on
• 13:23
  the move to have. An episode said.
• 13:25
  Hey, you got to watch something happen in Bali, which is the
• 13:28
  alternate title for Memories of Bali.
• 13:31
  He's like, it's so good, you're going to love it.
• 13:32
  I said OK, bet I watch it and I my flabbers were gassed it like
• 13:38
  I was. So I was completely in shock.
• 13:43
  And shock and awe. Speechless.
• 13:46
  What is this? What is this?
• 13:49
  What? Is it?
• 13:51
  Yes, so I went back to him and I was like you're not allowed to
• 13:54
  give me K drama recommendations. Don't do it.
• 13:56
  Ever get. Ever get?
• 13:57
  Did not warn me at all. You need a warning.
• 14:01
  You need a warning that needs to come with.
• 14:03
  Many. You got to have a warning.
• 14:04
  You got to have a warning. Yeah, I agree.
• 14:06
  I agree. So that's that one.
• 14:08
  I don't even want to call it tragic.
• 14:10
  It's it's. Downright scary.
• 14:13
  It's sad. It's sad.
• 14:15
  Yeah. The stuff they put, the stuff
• 14:17
  that they put those characters through back in the early 2000s,
• 14:20
  No, is mind blowing. Yeah.
• 14:22
  I mean this drama is one of the other examples.
• 14:24
  Of that, I'm shocked that Memories of Bali came out in 04
• 14:28
  the same year. I'm sorry.
• 14:30
  I love you. He was in the.
• 14:31
  He was in. What was he on He?
• 14:32
  Was in the mood. He's like I am ready for it.
• 14:34
  He's like, I don't I think he that was actually smart.
• 14:37
  He probably was like, I'm going to just stay in this kind of
• 14:39
  like detached, stressed, you know, sad, depressed, you know,
• 14:44
  mood all year long and just take all the roles that are going to
• 14:47
  need that and just going to channel it all into these roles
• 14:49
  because. That I am the Melodrama king.
• 14:51
  I am. You cannot beat.
• 14:53
  Yes, Yes. You cannot see me.
• 14:56
  You cannot see me. I love that.
• 14:59
  This is my throne anyway, so memories of volley and I'm sorry
• 15:02
  I love you in the same year Cain and Abel from online one of my I
• 15:09
  love Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel.
• 15:11
  I mean just originally a great Bible story.
• 15:14
  Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
• 15:17
  And then when you did that, when they did that in 2009, I was
• 15:19
  like, get out of here, get out of here, out of here.
• 15:23
  It's so good, so good. Unassailable.
• 15:26
  Then he did Master's Son in 2013, which is a Hong Sisters
• 15:30
  drama. One of the only ones that I
• 15:32
  would dare to recommend. I like it.
• 15:35
  I liked it. I did like it.
• 15:37
  I did. Oh my Venus in 2015, My
• 15:40
  secretarias 2018 Doctor, lawyer, mercy for none.
• 15:43
  Most recently in 2025, which is I think a lot of people are
• 15:47
  discovering. Soji sub.
• 15:49
  For the first time, mercy for none.
• 15:52
  That's when they discover him, because mercy for none.
• 15:57
  You got thoughts? You got thoughts?
• 15:59
  Yeah, I had a little bit of thought.
• 16:00
  I yeah, my latest episode, my latest rambles in musings.
• 16:03
  I kind of went in on my thoughts.
• 16:05
  So and verse 49, I was disappointed.
• 16:07
  I was disappointed. What I'm hearing, OK, this is
• 16:10
  like unofficial and it's a little tangent, but what I'm
• 16:13
  hearing is that it doesn't have a lot of pathos.
• 16:15
  It has nothing, yeah. It's empty.
• 16:18
  Yeah. It's so lifeless.
• 16:20
  It's like, really, guys? I know all this action with
• 16:23
  nothing else to support. It and like compared to some of
• 16:27
  the dramas that he's mentioned. And that he's in, he can give
• 16:30
  you, He can give it to you if you're not allowing him to give.
• 16:33
  It to you though. Yeah, you're like wasted.
• 16:37
  Wasted for this town. I mean, the cast was stand out.
• 16:40
  Everybody in there. I was like gold, gold, gold,
• 16:43
  gold all around. But they didn't use any of them.
• 16:46
  Didn't use any. Of them OK OK so his code sorry
• 16:51

• 17:31
  entire episode review you can scroll back on to listen to.
• 17:35
  And of course, Chicago typewriter from 2017.
• 17:38
  So that's just three of the seven.
• 17:41
  And then we're reviewing 1/4. So you can see that she's not
• 17:45
  really been not much. Yeah, not really AK drama lady,
• 17:48
  but she is well known. We have some supporting cast.
• 17:52
  I'll just mention one which is Jung Kimbo plays Chei Yun and
• 17:58
  he's been in a ton of things. He's a well known face.
• 18:01
  And Speaking of SNSD, he's been dating.
• 18:04
  What's her face for like? Too young.
• 18:05
  I don't know how too young for, I mean, maybe 20 years, maybe 20
• 18:09
  years. Yeah.
• 18:10
  I mean, yeah, they're not married.
• 18:12
  We know that. But yeah, they've been together
• 18:14
  for a long time. Exactly.
• 18:17
  He's been in most recently Crash Course and Romance in 2023,
• 18:21
  Hospital Playlist seasons one and two, Prison Playbook, which
• 18:25
  there's an episode on. Oh, there's also a Hospital
• 18:28
  Playlist episode for season 1 of Hospital Playlist if you want to
• 18:32
  listen to that. Missing 9 from 2017.
• 18:35
  I bring it up because that's like one of the worst K dramas
• 18:37
  that I've seen. Oh.
• 18:38
  God. Just don't like, I don't like
• 18:41
  missing 9. I would love to hear somebody
• 18:43
  out there watch missing 9 and we're like I I loved it.
• 18:47
  Beating again from 2015, undergoes a heart transplant
• 18:51
  surgery and his personality changes freaking lot.
• 18:55
  One of my faves when I tell you yes Oh my gosh, I love that.
• 19:00
  I don't know in a way I try not I the.
• 19:02
  Summer scent, it's like paid off in dividends.
• 19:05
  Yes, because all of these other dramas just keep copying.
• 19:08
  Keep using it, but they did a great job.
• 19:10
  They did a great. Job with that's a cute head, a
• 19:12
  lighter take much lighter, take much lighter and then heartless
• 19:15
  City from 2013. Come on now of all.
• 19:22
  Time man, I'm one of my absolute favorite action Love it.
• 19:27
  So that's I'm not going to say anybody else from the cast.
• 19:30
  It's not a huge cast, but I just want to get to the meat of this.
• 19:35
  Lola, what do you think? I'm sorry, I love you.
• 19:38
  How did this rewatch hit you? I'm going to be honest, I I
• 19:44
  wasn't as an older person, I was like as I've gotten older and I
• 19:50
  started re watching some of these older K dramas, I just I
• 19:53
  pick up on so many other things these times these days and I had
• 19:57
  that moment for sure watching this.
• 19:58
  I was like the male our male leads were they were they were
• 20:04
  interesting. They.
• 20:05
  Covered my mouth, I know. Like.
• 20:08
  I don't know. I mean, I do know I wrote
• 20:10
  explicitly of like my thoughts on them, but I'm just like, just
• 20:13
  saying it off the front. I was very not.
• 20:16
  I was not, I want to say annoyed.
• 20:17
  Yeah, I was annoyed. I was annoyed with our male
• 20:19
  leads, so much so that it made it hard to like really root for
• 20:23
  them or kind of support them or feel for them, even though
• 20:27
  they're going through a lot. But it's just like, you too.
• 20:32
  You too. I know it's tough.
• 20:36
  Did you have any other thoughts? No, no, that's.
• 20:38
  No, that's it. And I have, I mean, other
• 20:40
  thoughts in that I didn't enjoy it as much as I might have in
• 20:44
  the past. I will say that I will just kind
• 20:46
  of lead with that. I didn't enjoy it as much as I
• 20:49
  did maybe have done in the past. I completely agree.
• 20:52
  I don't ever remember. Absolutely.
• 20:55
  Loving, loving. Exactly.
• 20:56
  OK. Absolutely.
• 20:58
  I remember watching it and being like, well, that was something,
• 21:00
  you know what I'm saying? Like.
• 21:01
  That. Was an experience, but I and I
• 21:03
  never I didn't hate it. I just kind of took it in stride
• 21:07
  and moved forward with my life with the knowledge, armed with
• 21:10
  the knowledge of 2000 fours. I'm sorry.
• 21:12
  I love you exactly. You know, it's kind of
• 21:15
  foundational. It's as AK drama.
• 21:18
  Yep, and super iconic. On the rewatch, I thought, oh,
• 21:22
  I'm gonna love this show. And I will say the first eight
• 21:25
  episodes I breezed through. It was super easy to watch for
• 21:28
  me the last half of the show. It was.
• 21:32
  Rough it. Was rough.
• 21:33
  It was very rough. Very rough.
• 21:35
  Yep. Yeah, there was something about
• 21:38
  the wallowing nature of the show and the fact that there is so
• 21:46
  much, and this is very, I guess Korean of it.
• 21:49
  We, I guess we don't get so much of this anymore of characters
• 21:53
  just going to see another character with so much urgency
• 21:58
  and so much to say. And then they get to their
• 22:00
  destination. They finally see this person in
• 22:02
  their content to just like look at each.
• 22:04
  Other don't say anything. They don't say anything.
• 22:07
  Yeah. They just kind of.
• 22:10
  They don't vent their emotions. They don't really communicate.
• 22:13
  It's all left unsaid. And then they leave after all
• 22:16
  this effort to get to them. And over and over again.
• 22:20
  Rinse and repeat. Yep, the whole way through.
• 22:23
  The whole way through the whole. Way through and it's just, Oh my
• 22:26
  God, it was so painful. It was.
• 22:28
  Painful. I completely I completely agree
• 22:30
  with that and I, I think that from the very beginning, I know
• 22:33
  you said like your first eight episodes, you breathe through.
• 22:35
  I think I had a hard time from episode 1.
• 22:38
  I'm good for the job. And it was those our our leads 2
• 22:44
  Those two male leads for me were just big babies.
• 22:47
  And I'm sorry to. Say it like.
• 22:49
  That but the whole theme, like the crux of this story.
• 22:52
  And I'm like, again, hindsight's 2020, like me watching this now,
• 22:56
  as you know, I was, I'm so much older than I was when I watched
• 22:59
  this the first time. Me too, you know.
• 23:01
  Like so. Much older.
• 23:02
  So I'm just like, they were the way that they kind of describe
• 23:06
  these two male leads. They were nothing but these baby
• 23:09
  birds that were constantly looking for this mothering and
• 23:13
  it was so annoying to be honest, because it was like woe is me.
• 23:17
  Where is my mommy? There was something very
• 23:20
  childish and and boyish to them and immature about them to the
• 23:24
  point where it was like the women were taking the brunt of
• 23:26
  it, right? Like they had to be.
• 23:28
  They had to suffer through. They had to suffer through.
• 23:30
  They were the ones, you know, pulling themselves up by their
• 23:33
  boot traps and and pushing through while these two got to
• 23:36
  be, you know, woe is me, I'm the victim.
• 23:40
  Look at look at me, look at me. And it was like, I'm annoyed
• 23:44
  like from I. Was annoyed to be.
• 23:48
  Honest, I just I have this confused face on you guys can't
• 23:50
  see it, but I'm just wondering to what end like you know, to
• 23:55
  what? End exactly that's.
• 23:57
  It and that is the crux of a lot of these older K dramas that are
• 24:01
  melodramas I. Want to let's say Yeah, let's
• 24:03
  say mellow. Is that there is so much pain
• 24:07
  that feels like they're just flopping on the ground.
• 24:13
  It is an extended tantrum. They're less what?
• 24:17
  They're wailing, they're kicking their feet, they're yelling at
• 24:20
  the sky. They're shaking the angry fist
• 24:22
  towards the sky. Yes, like, I mean, even like in
• 24:24
  this one there's and we'll talk about it like the prayers, you
• 24:28
  know, You know what I mean. The prayers.
• 24:31
  You're the most blasphemous things I've ever seen.
• 24:34
  Yeah. It's like, how dare like looking
• 24:36
  up and being like, you know what, God, if you do this for
• 24:39
  me, I will do this. You know it was, I mean that.
• 24:43
  Guy trying to make deals with God.
• 24:44
  Making. Deals with God, yeah, that's how
• 24:46
  you know, and it's like they're kicking.
• 24:47
  You're throwing a tantrum. Yeah, and you're throwing a
• 24:49
  tantrum. Yeah, that's exactly what I I
• 24:52
  felt was throughout. I felt this was an incredibly
• 24:55
  unfair, fair portrayal of motherhood.
• 24:59
  It was thank you. This was like the way that they
• 25:02
  presented them as these, like that.
• 25:05
  Condemning of the mother. I hate it and hate it.
• 25:10
  There's so much nuance there that I think the show ignores.
• 25:15
  Hmm. Or tries to address too late
• 25:18
  maybe? Yeah, they missed it.
• 25:20
  Yeah, Played like you could have.
• 25:21
  You could have done it and. Right.
• 25:22
  Do it right. Yeah.
• 25:23
  And here's that positive that I think the show is of it of a
• 25:28
  time of an era. And there is not a lot of
• 25:31
  therapizing. I love that.
• 25:33
  What's happening? Yeah, yeah.
• 25:36
  You know what I'm saying? No one's like you had a
• 25:38
  traumatic experience. So This is why you're doing
• 25:41
  this, and This is why you should feel this way.
• 25:43
  Why are you lashing out? Yes.
• 25:46
  You know, none of this therapy language.
• 25:49
  None of it. None of it.
• 25:50
  You're depressed. No.
• 25:52
  You just no. No.
• 25:53
  You just watch them struggle. You're.
• 25:56
  Just watching them go through. Yeah, one of the hideous things
• 26:01
  that could possibly happen to people, that could possibly
• 26:03
  happen to somebody, and they are making the wrong choice after
• 26:08
  the wrong choice, after the wrong choice.
• 26:11
  No one. There's no person that's
• 26:13
  speaking common sense or life into these people at all.
• 26:18
  There's no voice of reason at all in the show.
• 26:21
  That is very. And that is of a.
• 26:24
  Time of that, Time of that. Time.
• 26:27
  If this was done today, you would have.
• 26:29
  Somebody, some character in. There one character who's like.
• 26:33
  The voice of reason. Voice of reason, who's basically
• 26:36
  the audience proxy, who's like, why are you doing this?
• 26:39
  Why are you acting this way? Get up.
• 26:43
  You know. Get up.
• 26:44
  Yes. There is none of that in the
• 26:46
  show. Everybody sucks.
• 26:48
  Everybody does, everybody sucks. And I have to say, I've
• 26:51
  mentioned this with, I think what happened in Bali when I
• 26:53
  went back to that drama. I like that because it does put
• 26:57
  more weight on the audience and I can appreciate that.
• 27:01
  As in, you're not telling me, you're showing me exactly.
• 27:04
  I have to do the work as the audience figuring out what is
• 27:08
  going on. Why are these characters doing
• 27:10
  the things that they're doing, looking at things that the
• 27:12
  character do and the story and be like, oh, they're doing this
• 27:15
  because of this, I get to do that.
• 27:17
  No character outside character is telling me This is why
• 27:20
  they're doing this right. I like it.
• 27:21
  So that is one of the things I can.
• 27:23
  There's not a lot of hand holding, not 0, all for the
• 27:28
  audience, you're just thrown in. Get it.
• 27:30
  Yeah, get ready. Get ready.
• 27:32
  Get ready. And if you don't like it, too
• 27:35
  damn ass. Yeah, get out.
• 27:37
  Yep, Yep. And that is a lot of these older
• 27:40
  K dramas, especially the melodramas.
• 27:44
  I would say that was their MO. I see.
• 27:46
  It's just pain after pain. These people are just here to
• 27:48
  hurt. Just hurt.
• 27:50
  Just hurt. That's all they're here for.
• 27:53
  And if there's any positive to it is that they found some
• 27:56
  sliver of happiness and hope, which is what the MDL synopsis
• 28:01
  is getting at, is that, you know, the male lead and the
• 28:03
  female lead do, I guess, fall in love.
• 28:07
  Did they fall in love? I don't know.
• 28:10
  They said I love you. They said I.
• 28:11
  Love you a lot. A lot.
• 28:13
  In the very last five minutes of this.
• 28:17
  But yeah, they did, I guess. It's surprising and I'm sure
• 28:20
  that if someone who started watching K dramas in the last
• 28:23
  five years, you know, during the pandemic basically were to watch
• 28:26
  this show. Yes.
• 28:28
  I would love to hear their thoughts.
• 28:30
  I know. Because this is going to hit
• 28:32
  themselves. Yes.
• 28:33
  Oh, totally, totally. It's.
• 28:35
  Going to hit them so sideways. I was looking at some of the
• 28:40
  movies that came out during this time in Korea.
• 28:44
  A moment to remember. A moment to remember Yes, Yes
• 28:48
  came out at the same time. Came out this this year I think.
• 28:50
  Same. Year, OK.
• 28:51
  OK. 3 Iron Have you seen that movie?
• 28:54
  3. Iron 3 Iron.
• 28:56
  Oh my gosh. I have a story to say, not a
• 28:59
  story, but like one of my memories of going through, going
• 29:02
  into Blockbuster. I don't know, people remember
• 29:05
  Blockbuster. That's telling my age a little
• 29:07
  bit, like seeing that cover and being like, yes, I want to watch
• 29:12
  this. Mind you, I was young.
• 29:13
  I was like, I should not have been watching 3 Iron.
• 29:16
  But yes, Oh, I remember 3 Iron. That was the time.
• 29:20
  That came out this year, same year.
• 29:24
  So if you look at some of the media that was in the early
• 29:28
  aughts, the coming out of Korea, it makes a lot of sense why the
• 29:32
  K dramas were so fucked. They were messed up because
• 29:35
  everybody was fun. Everybody was.
• 29:38
  It was bad. It was rough.
• 29:40
  It was a hard time. Yeah, absolutely. 3 iron.
• 29:43
  I can't believe you. I can't believe three.
• 29:45
  I haven't thought about 3 iron in so long.
• 29:48
  Oh, that's wild. My little Bride, do you remember
• 29:51
  that movie? Yes, the girlies would freak if
• 29:55
  they watch that movie. That's also 2004.
• 29:59
  This was a year. This was a year, Lola.
• 30:03
  I didn't even connect all of that.
• 30:05
  I didn't even think to think about what movies came out in
• 30:07
  Korea during that time. Yeah, those man.
• 30:12
  I mean, I'm still stuck on 3 iron though.
• 30:14
  Like 3 iron. Is a That's a film.
• 30:17
  That's not a movie. That's a film.
• 30:18
  It's. A film.
• 30:18
  It is a film. I think that's a great way of
• 30:20
  following it. It's a film for sure, guys.
• 30:24
  I can't believe it's only an hour and a half too.
• 30:25
  It's an hour and 28 minutes long.
• 30:27
  I don't know. How some of those scenes, some
• 30:29
  of the some of those scenes felt like an hour and a half by
• 30:33
  themselves. So I can't believe the movie was
• 30:35
  only an hour and a half. I know that's crazy.
• 30:37
  OK, but I, I just, I say all this because there was something
• 30:43
  in the water. In 2004.
• 30:45
  In 2004, in the early aughts in this era, and you know, we've
• 30:49
  covered some of the other shows like we mentioned Winter Sonata,
• 30:52
  we mentioned Autumn. In my heart, I think I did.
• 30:57
  I guested on NASA spoon Diaries we covered.
• 31:00
  Somerset. Somerset.
• 31:01
  Oh, I I did. Somerset too, I did.
• 31:04
  Somerset. So and then you covered
• 31:06
  Somerset? I did on your podcast.
• 31:08
  I. Did so last year or the year
• 31:10
  before, I can't remember. A lot of us creators were going
• 31:13
  back and dipping into that early odds well and doing a couple
• 31:16
  things here and there, reviewing things and when you put it all.
• 31:19
  Together. If you put it all together, it
• 31:22
  connects. All of it connects.
• 31:24
  It all of it connects OK. I think Korea, the populace was
• 31:30
  going through it. They needed these melodramas.
• 31:33
  They did well, I actually think well, am I what happens in Bali
• 31:36
  episode? I did talk about extensively
• 31:39
  that back in that time, like there, there was this kind of
• 31:42
  push. They used to say where like I
• 31:45
  want to say like nihilism almost where people were feeling like
• 31:48
  there was just not the the way that the world was going.
• 31:51
  There was not much to look forward to in the world.
• 31:54
  And so the use of melodrama during that time was strategic.
• 31:58
  It was this way for people to experience these outside
• 32:02
  horrible situations so they cannot look at their own inside
• 32:06
  horrible. Situations.
• 32:07
  Exactly. And that was a big push during
• 32:09
  that early. 2000. I I did see that in a couple of
• 32:13
  articles when I was reading about what happened in Bali.
• 32:16
  Because what happened did you think?
• 32:18
  This did. You think this is bad Let's just
• 32:20
  I mean I don't know, but what happened to volley bad?
• 32:22
  I don't know that one sent shivers down my spine rewatching
• 32:27
  it. I'm going to be honest, it was a
• 32:28
  totally different experience watching that one again and then
• 32:31
  watching this one. I'm sorry, I love you.
• 32:32
  I don't know what it was. I think it was the the babies in
• 32:36
  this one. It's the babies.
• 32:37
  Yes, it's the babies. I'll, I'll just say for people
• 32:40
  that don't know what nihilism is, let's say this is the AI
• 32:43
  overview of Google. It says a philosophical position
• 32:46
  that argues that life is without inherent meaning, purpose or
• 32:49
  value. This is a really depressing view
• 32:53
  of life. And I think that people who have
• 32:57
  this ish, you know, nihilistic viewpoint of life tend to find a
• 33:02
  lot of meaning in these stories. They tend to enjoy painful
• 33:07
  stories because it makes them feel.
• 33:09
  Better it makes them feel about their.
• 33:11
  Painful. Life.
• 33:12
  Exactly. They're all painful situations.
• 33:13
  Because it can't be as bad as this.
• 33:15
  This exactly. And also that ties into in this
• 33:19
  drama, how there's like this, I think I want to say not counter,
• 33:23
  but like almost a counter to like them bringing up God a lot
• 33:26
  and and the praying and things like that.
• 33:28
  For them to position that in a story where it's just like all
• 33:31
  bad, there's no good there. Everything's bad, everyone's
• 33:34
  going through it. But then to also have them try
• 33:38
  to hold on to something outside of them.
• 33:43
  Yeah, a little bit of faith. I thought that was interesting
• 33:45
  that they also were adding that in there as well.
• 33:48
  But it is AF to me, like a counter to this thought, like
• 33:51
  there is no hope. What did you think of acting?
• 33:55
  I actually thought the acting was pretty good.
• 33:58
  I mean, I was kind of, I was quite impressed as always with
• 34:02
  what's Our mom? E Hey, Young.
• 34:05
  E Hey Young. I absolutely adore her and I
• 34:07
  love her in melodrama. That's one of my favorite ways
• 34:09
  to watch her, so I really enjoyed her in this.
• 34:13
  She's the evil mom in Boys Over Flowers.
• 34:16
  Yes, yes. I always enjoy her.
• 34:18
  I just always enjoy her. So I think that was really good.
• 34:22
  I'm Sue Jung. I enjoy her as well.
• 34:24
  But for some reason, again, I think with this character, it
• 34:28
  was, I mean, she, she did good. She, I mean, she did good.
• 34:31
  It was fine. But I wasn't that impressed with
• 34:33
  the character. So it felt a little flat at
• 34:35
  times for me, which I don't agree completely blamed with her
• 34:38
  and her acting, but more like the character itself.
• 34:42
  Do you? So of course.
• 34:44
  What's, what are we, what are we going to say?
• 34:46
  He did bad? Yeah.
• 34:47
  Absolutely not. Absolutely.
• 34:49
  I was blown away. I mean, there were first, first
• 34:51
  the end, then it got really rough for him.
• 34:53
  I was just like, oh, I was in pain watching him.
• 34:56
  I was in actual pain. I get empathy pains, and I was
• 34:59
  literally like, I'm in pain watching you.
• 35:01
  I have to Fast forward some of those moments because it was
• 35:03
  that rough for me watching him. So I mean, great acting.
• 35:06
  Yeah, but it was a little hard. It was a little hard watching.
• 35:08
  So I would say acting was great. Oh, you know who really I mean.
• 35:13
  I'm going to say Junk Ho. Absolutely.
• 35:15
  One of my absolute favorite actors of all time.
• 35:18
  I'm Kunk Kunky. I'm sorry, not Jung Ho.
• 35:20
  I absolutely loved him in this despite his character still
• 35:25
  being one that I did not like Baby but towards the end loved
• 35:31
  his performance. I was really moved by his
• 35:33
  performance, especially that final conversation he has with
• 35:37
  Milk at the end in the in the dark of that, you know, little
• 35:40
  room. I loved his performance there.
• 35:43
  I was like I was crying, you know, like so performances were
• 35:46
  great that I had to say when I was re watching this, I was
• 35:48
  like, you can't take you can't even you can't take that from
• 35:52
  older cave dramas ever. The performance will always be
• 35:55
  there. OK, They were killing it 100.
• 35:58
  Percent, 100%. Let's talk about the fashion and
• 36:01
  the incessant singing from Fei Yun, because the singing is
• 36:05
  what's not good. Sunk it, sunk the battleship.
• 36:07
  Because I hate singing in K drama.
• 36:10
  Singing in media. But also bad singing.
• 36:14
  And then and on top of it, bad. Singing in one of my first notes
• 36:19
  in episode 1, I said AK pop singer or I was like a singer
• 36:23
  idol singer that Can't Sing. Question mark.
• 36:25
  Question mark. This is a lot of suspension of
• 36:30
  disbelief here. A lot.
• 36:32
  If you're telling me he is not only a bad singer, a nepple
• 36:35
  baby. Or he's a nepple.
• 36:36
  Baby, yes, but also he sucks. He can't, he Can't Sing.
• 36:41
  He's a bad singer, but he's the number one singer in Korea.
• 36:44
  I was like #1 get out, get out. So bad.
• 36:48
  It's so bad. Every time he played the piano
• 36:50
  and sang and like everything was acapella, I was like, oh.
• 36:52
  My God, you were like, no, thank you.
• 36:54
  You were like horrible thanks. No, but no thanks.
• 36:56
  No thanks. No thanks, I'm good.
• 36:59
  You guys could I want to return this?
• 37:01
  Can I can? I get a return.
• 37:03
  Can I get a refund please so. That was bothersome, The fashion
• 37:10
  I I wasn't mad about the fashion, I was mad about one
• 37:13
  item. Wait, what 1?
• 37:14
  Item the hat. The hat.
• 37:17
  The hat. Throw it in a volcano.
• 37:19
  Throw it in a volcano. I hate it.
• 37:22
  It was so funny because that's one of the things I remember
• 37:24
  most about this show. It was like, because I was like,
• 37:27
  that's the thing that's meme the most like the the dramatic pull
• 37:30
  down that he would do in the beginning with that hat.
• 37:32
  Like he would cover his face when he was he was getting
• 37:34
  emotional and he would just like take the hat and cover the side
• 37:38
  of his face. So you could see how that was
• 37:40
  the I was like, this is what you they still make fun of that.
• 37:43
  See, I'm literally. Crying.
• 37:45
  I'm literally crying. So funny, isn't it?
• 37:47
  It was. Hysterical.
• 37:48
  It's hysterical. So yeah, the hat, get it out of
• 37:50
  here. But the fashion actually really
• 37:52
  like, I actually really like the Unche.
• 37:54
  Like her style, her fashion. I loved it.
• 37:57
  I'm like her Uggs or her ratty Uggs.
• 38:00
  I was like, I'm loving the ratty Uggs actually.
• 38:02
  Yeah, there was something about I I wasn't mad at the fashion.
• 38:06
  I was mad at the one newsboy cabbie hat that so bad they put
• 38:12
  on Toji sub and then he was so attached to.
• 38:14
  So attached so much attached to that when he when he was
• 38:18
  changing characters. Oh, no, OK, sorry.
• 38:21
  Because there's the Superman to Clark Kent change that happened
• 38:29
  in a later episode. Like I had to stop the.
• 38:33
  Show. I had to.
• 38:36
  I was like no stop. It I'm crying now.
• 38:38
  Stop this. I.
• 38:42
  Lost it. I lost.
• 38:43
  The best thing, I was like, you know what standing over this guy
• 38:47
  is? Like so funny and I don't know,
• 38:50
  do you think it was meant to be funny?
• 38:52
  I I don't think I don't. Think so.
• 38:54
  I think it would be really dramatic and I could not help
• 38:58
  like, like it was so cringy. It was so cringy, but it was it
• 39:03
  was just like genius. I'm so proud, so glad they did
• 39:05
  it. They were like, I'm gonna
• 39:07
  actually like have him do like a Clark hit, like Superman change.
• 39:10
  Like I'm gonna take off my glasses.
• 39:12
  And now I am no. Longer.
• 39:16
  I am muhil. I am the driver.
• 39:19
  I am I am the manager of Muhuk. I no longer.
• 39:22
  I no longer have a fake mustache and glasses on.
• 39:25
  Oh my. I have.
• 39:27
  I have a cowboy now, so no, I am you like even genius.
• 39:31
  My favorite part was my favorite, favorite part of that
• 39:34
  scene was she's the second female lead is in the elevator
• 39:37
  with him and he's got his get up on.
• 39:39
  He's that's the Superman. We'll just say he's the Superman
• 39:42
  character at this point. When he takes off the fake
• 39:45
  pencil mustache, she doesn't react.
• 39:49
  And I was like, if I was her and this man just rips off, he's
• 39:56
  little, that's when I would lose it.
• 39:58
  That is when I would freak out. The pistol mustache that she had
• 40:01
  been kissing he she. Had been kissing up on that.
• 40:03
  Thing she had been kissing on it and I'm like you didn't know
• 40:06
  that was shifting that was shifting in the middle of the
• 40:08
  kiss and then to like I said you he pulled it off and you said
• 40:12
  that wasn't enough for her she stayed.
• 40:13
  Still still it was when when he put on the cap on.
• 40:18
  The. Cap.
• 40:19
  Then she was like. Like it was just genius.
• 40:25
  Or like you don't make it like this.
• 40:27
  They don't make dramas like this anymore.
• 40:30
  I miss it. I miss it.
• 40:32
  I miss it. You can laugh.
• 40:34
  Where's the? Camp get to cry.
• 40:35
  Where's the camp? Where is the camp, guys?
• 40:39
  And we were in it, too. I mean, back then, they were in
• 40:41
  it. They was like, they were, yeah,
• 40:42
  I was with her. They were like that wasn't.
• 40:45
  That was you, the whole. Time no, they knew that the the
• 40:49
  double identity but they I mean that people have to be caught up
• 40:54
  yes, I do yeah every single thing that was happening in the
• 40:57
  show anyway, we're getting into the weeds on this sorry.
• 41:00
  What I'll say is that this show did incredibly freaking well.
• 41:04
  As I said, this show is a hit. It's a success.
• 41:08
  Iconic. Iconic and it was such a success
• 41:11
  that it's had multiple remakes done, a Turkish, a Chinese, a
• 41:14
  Thai remake and a Japanese remake.
• 41:17
  They are all some some translation of I'm sorry I love
• 41:21
  you. The Japanese remake is Gomen
• 41:23
  Ashteru. The ratings for this show
• 41:28
  incredibly high from day one. Episode one had a 16% rating.
• 41:35
  That means 16%. The population was watching, was
• 41:40
  watching. This would blow everybody away
• 41:42
  if today, if 16% of Korea was watching a single K drama today
• 41:49
  at the same time, at the same time, we would not hear the end
• 41:52
  of it. This would be the drama of the
• 41:54
  year. OK, And it only got higher at
• 41:57
  the end of the show. The final episode had a 29%
• 42:04
  rating. Wow.
• 42:05
  Isn't that crazy? It's mind blowing, It's mind
• 42:08
  blowing and but it also just explains like if you're watching
• 42:12
  something in Korea today, you're going to get references to this
• 42:15
  drama. To this day, like I watch K
• 42:17
  variety all the time. I still hear them making jokes
• 42:20
  about this drama or like memeing it or like using the music, the
• 42:24
  the the the famous OST. Like I still hear that in dramas
• 42:29
  like like just to make poke fun of mellow, like you'll hear it
• 42:32
  all the time. So it's like it's iconic.
• 42:34
  That's how you know, everybody gets the references.
• 42:36
  When you think about how many people are watching at that
• 42:39
  time, it explains why even now, to this day, they can still
• 42:42
  refer to it. And people in Korea will still
• 42:45
  be like, oh, yeah, they're talking.
• 42:46
  They're. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry.
• 42:47
  I love you. Yeah, they're.
• 42:48
  Poking on my absolutely. I love you.
• 42:49
  I get it. It was big.
• 42:51
  It was. Huge.
• 42:52
  Can't understate that. And at this point I think I
• 42:55
  don't want we don't want to spoil anything else.
• 42:58
  We already spoiled this double identity.
• 43:00
  Thing that happened to the. Show Lola, what would you rate
• 43:03
  the show out of five soldier bottles?
• 43:06
  You know, this is always the hardest thing for me because I
• 43:08
  always have to take myself out of it sometimes because I, if I
• 43:12
  for me, my watching like my actual experience, I would say
• 43:15
  it was probably a three for me. But I think I appreciate it so
• 43:20
  much about it because I'm just like missing the ways of
• 43:24
  yesteryear. And so I want to say I want to
• 43:26
  give it a four for that reason. There was so much, there's so
• 43:29
  much iconic distance in it. And I had a good time with some
• 43:32
  of the stuff that was like, this isn't meant to be funny, but I'm
• 43:35
  actually laughing. Unintentional comedy.
• 43:37
  Yeah, I still had a good time with some of the stuff.
• 43:39
  So I would say A4 on the highest end, but my pure enjoyment, it
• 43:43
  was a three. I would say 3.
• 43:45
  OK, so 3 or 4? I would say 3, but I want to say
• 43:49
  4 for people to like to convince them that still it's worth
• 43:53
  checking out kind of thing. But OK, you can give half
• 43:57
  points. Too.
• 43:58
  I'll do three. Yeah.
• 43:58
  So let's do 3 1/2 then. All right, 3.
• 44:00
  And a half. I will say my score is also a
• 44:03
  three and a. Half because.
• 44:05
  There was a lot of iconic points in the show that I forgot about,
• 44:10
  like when they when she finally writes I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I
• 44:13
  love you. I was like, oh God.
• 44:15
  I'll try. There it is there it is.
• 44:19
  The name of the show in the show.
• 44:20
  I love that. It's so great on different
• 44:23
  levels and it is an emotional roller coaster.
• 44:26
  It does have a lot of craziness in it.
• 44:30
  Like bar none, it's crazy. And some of the things that I
• 44:35
  think other K dramas do down the line, copy from this era.
• 44:40
  Absolutely copy from this era of K dramas.
• 44:43
  Like at one point she starts to like lose her grip on reality
• 44:46
  and she starts seeing him everything.
• 44:47
  She starts hallucinating things every you throw a Rock You hit a
• 44:51
  cage drama that has done this. Exact.
• 44:54
  Thing absolutely, where they're envisioning them in front,
• 44:57
  malely, femalely envisioning each other next to them in front
• 45:01
  of each other on the street, you name it.
• 45:03
  And I'm like, that's it's here. That's where it's from.
• 45:06
  There it is. Yeah, yeah.
• 45:08
  Incredible show, incredible performances.
• 45:11
  The performances. I don't care that it's a low
• 45:14
  budget. Like I don't give a shit.
• 45:15
  I know, but it looks like it's from 2004.
• 45:19
  Doesn't faze me. I didn't, I didn't even notice
• 45:22
  it. I'm going to be honest, which
• 45:23
  the only thing that made me notice it was the music.
• 45:26
  Well, that's what made me realize like, wait a second,
• 45:28
  we're in 2004. The some of the, you know,
• 45:32
  Western music that was popping up this.
• 45:34
  Is not exactly. This is why when we say like K
• 45:37
  dramas have changed so much, there's so much catered to the
• 45:41
  western audience this type of OST.
• 45:44
  It's not you would never find this in AK drama nowadays at all
• 45:49
  at all. And that's what we miss is like,
• 45:53
  this is raw. It's like untouched.
• 45:56
  I I love that it's untouched. Yeah, it is.
• 45:59
  It is. And even untouched, it you go
• 46:01
  back to it, you can't help but be like, this is there is so
• 46:05
  much value in this. There's so much that I can take
• 46:08
  from this and appreciate even if I don't like the story on its
• 46:11
  base. Like there are still even.
• 46:13
  If I'm like what the hell? What is this?
• 46:15
  I don't like this story at all, but there is so much more that I
• 46:20
  I still took from it. I was like, this is still making
• 46:22
  me a appreciate these dramas from this time.
• 46:24
  Like it did not make me think This is why I don't watch these
• 46:27
  old gay dramas, right? Like I didn't have that reaction
• 46:30
  to it. I was like, actually, which one
• 46:31
  do I need to go back and watch? Now exactly.
• 46:34
  Exactly. Like.
• 46:35
  I think so too. I agree completely.
• 46:37
  So 3 1/2 for me, 3 1/2 for you. You're definitely simpatico on
• 46:40
  this. You're definitely having too
• 46:42
  much fun. Why we like to do this?
• 46:46
  This is why. This is why you do.
• 46:48
  This, but we're gonna get into the spoiler section.
• 46:51
  What exactly happened to these people in this show right after
• 46:56
  this? Excuse me?
• 46:59
  You. Know I.
• 47:00
  Have no. Sorry.
• 47:07
  What? All right, we're on the other
• 47:12
  side of spoilers, so we are going to spoil what happens and
• 47:15
  I'm Sorry I Love You, which is a 21 year old drama.
• 47:19
  So if you haven't watched it or if you're really intrigued by
• 47:22
  it, I would suggest stopping now and coming back later.
• 47:25
  Watch it on your own. It is 16 episodes on Vicki,
• 47:28
  which is where we watched it. All right, we have to talk about
• 47:31
  this meet queue because they end up meeting in Australia, which
• 47:38
  is a big, big deal, right, To have the first episode happened
• 47:42
  in Melbourne, Australia. And it was actually shot there.
• 47:44
  Yeah, yeah. I didn't realize that I was
• 47:47
  gonna do this. This was very unintentional, but
• 47:49
  this is the third drama in a row about an adoption.
• 47:54
  Story that you've watched. Yeah, so I did move to heaven.
• 47:58
  Yeah, our beloved summer. He's our beloved.
• 48:01
  Summer. And now I did.
• 48:02
  I'm sorry. I love you so.
• 48:04
  I really didn't intend for that to happen.
• 48:06
  But here we are. Here we are.
• 48:08
  Yeah, the the Overseas Adoptions I Hate Korea segment that they
• 48:14
  intro the whole share with. Yeah, it's very interesting to
• 48:18
  me. I feel like they're definitely
• 48:19
  trying to say something about that.
• 48:23
  The producers and editors shown in the show are making fun of
• 48:29
  Soji sub's Korean and saying that he doesn't fit the concept
• 48:33
  of the show that they are creating because they have all
• 48:36
  this documentary footage. And he is shown saying his mom
• 48:41
  must have had a good reason for giving him up for adoption.
• 48:44
  Maybe she couldn't afford milk and did it so that he'd have a
• 48:47
  better life. And if he ever reunites with her
• 48:49
  again, he wants to give her a life of luxury, telling her to
• 48:52
  wait just like five years and five years.
• 48:54
  I'm going to have enough money to go back to Korea and we can
• 48:57
  reunite. I can give you a good life
• 49:01
  already, MC. Fucking heartbreaking, I know.
• 49:04
  Yeah, it was. It was sad.
• 49:06
  It was sad 'cause you're right. In comparison to the other
• 49:09
  footage of the other I guess. Who were like fuck Korea I hate
• 49:13
  Korea. Yeah.
• 49:14
  Fuck my mom, I can't. Wish this like.
• 49:16
  She abandoned. Yeah.
• 49:19
  And he has this completely different perspective.
• 49:21
  And it's really, yeah, it's really heartbreaking because.
• 49:24
  And I mean, this is a part of my, like, I was big on picking
• 49:27
  up the theme and some of the motifs going on in the
• 49:30
  mothering. And it started in that first
• 49:32
  kind of segment because he, his Korean that he has learned has
• 49:36
  been from this girl that he's dating at the time, his
• 49:39
  girlfriend who has taught him Korean.
• 49:42
  And it's obviously, you know, not the best because, you know,
• 49:44
  they're in Australia and it's not his, I guess, first
• 49:47
  language. But I thought it was interesting
• 49:50
  that they already positioned this idea of mother as in
• 49:54
  homeland motherland also him wanting searching for his
• 49:58
  mother, but also having sympathy for his mother.
• 50:01
  So as much as you know, they're like this isn't fit our what we
• 50:05
  want for our documentary. We want people to be hating on
• 50:07
  Korea, these adoptees to be hating on Korea.
• 50:09
  You know, he's still looking for his mother.
• 50:11
  He's and he's looking for his motherland at the end of it all.
• 50:14
  And I really actually, I like that they set that up from the
• 50:17
  beginning. It gives you a good perspective
• 50:19
  of what we're going to see because the.
• 50:21
  K drama of it is that there's going to be a 180 in his.
• 50:26
  Perspective of his love for Korea and his mother.
• 50:29
  Yes, exactly. You get the five year time jump
• 50:32
  and then we do the meet queue, which is he is scamming women,
• 50:38
  luring them into his. Car.
• 50:40
  Car, Yes. Due to like language and culture
• 50:43
  familiarity. He's like, oh, are you Japanese?
• 50:45
  And then says a few words in Japanese and they get in his
• 50:47
  car. Oh, are you Chinese that get in
• 50:50
  his car? It's crazy now.
• 50:52
  He's a criminal. He's an actual criminal.
• 50:55
  He's a literal criminal. He's and he's also homeless and
• 50:58
  he's homeless. So he's hustling as best as he
• 51:00
  can, as best as he can in the streets of Australia.
• 51:03
  Yeah, but you can see the concept that was introduced of
• 51:05
  like wanting that familiarity and the kinsmen being played out
• 51:12
  and even how he scams. He scams even how he scams.
• 51:16
  So anyway, he meets Unche who is seen helping her philandering
• 51:21
  friend out. Philandering friend.
• 51:24
  Her bestie is a serial cheater and all these things, and then
• 51:29
  her other bestie who's the second male lead Teyun, is
• 51:34
  obsessed with this cheating. This cheating girl, crazy girl
• 51:38
  so. Like the second female lead is
• 51:42
  not a good person, no, and then the second male lead is obsessed
• 51:46
  with her, which doesn't. Make sense?
• 51:48
  It's like things like Why? Why are you obsessed with?
• 51:50
  Her why? Why are you strung out over her?
• 51:53
  I don't get it. Yeah, yeah, but you see her, the
• 51:56
  female lead, Unche with the second male lead.
• 52:00
  I think there's a scene where he grabs her and pulls into the
• 52:03
  bathwater with him. Yes, he's taking a bath and he
• 52:08
  while she was basically with her friend, the other girl, she gets
• 52:11
  a call from him and she comes to running.
• 52:13
  That is another theme about. That's a theme.
• 52:15
  Yeah, is that she comes to running whenever these men come
• 52:18
  a college, she comes to running. And so you have our Unche
• 52:22
  running to his, you know, at his beck and call.
• 52:24
  And when she gets there, he's in a tub, baby, in the midst of him
• 52:28
  complaining and whining about the other girl not picking up
• 52:32
  his phone call. Yeah.
• 52:34
  And also you can see that she has some kind of feelings for
• 52:37
  him right off the bat, that she's like having to hear him
• 52:40
  whine and. Whine about moan about this
• 52:43
  other girl. And she has to be there
• 52:45
  listening to it. And then he pulls her in the tub
• 52:48
  when he's naked, her fully clothed mind you.
• 52:51
  And then even inconsiderate, inconsiderate, very
• 52:54
  inconsiderate. And then also very
• 52:55
  inappropriate. It flashes her completely
• 52:57
  because they're in a working relationship.
• 52:59
  She works for him on top of it all, she lives in his home in
• 53:02
  the basement. She's works for him.
• 53:05
  He I mean, he was just like, and you're supposedly her, her best
• 53:09
  friend and you treat her like shit.
• 53:11
  Yes, off the bat, Off the bat, That's how they sit there and
• 53:16
  he. Mocks her.
• 53:16
  He says, Do you see me as a man? Man, Yeah, as he's like standing
• 53:20
  naked in front of her. I'm like.
• 53:21
  Come on dude, come on man. Come on, this is inappropriate
• 53:24
  for work relationship. And then he serenades her.
• 53:28
  By singing, you are so beautiful to me on the piano and I'm like.
• 53:33
  Sing get this guy out quote UN quote.
• 53:35
  Sing Sing air quotes. Because it's so bad.
• 53:40
  Yeah. Also when, Oh my God, when they
• 53:42
  introduced Hoji sub after the five year time jump, he's in the
• 53:45
  car bopping to Sean Paul. Sean Paul.
• 53:49
  Just give me the. Line just give me I was in.
• 53:56
  Tears. I.
• 53:57
  Loved it. That's what dated this drama.
• 53:59
  Yes, the music. The music dated it.
• 54:02
  We don't we. Don't get like Top 40.
• 54:04
  Anymore, we can't. They can't pay dramas, they
• 54:06
  licensing, they can't pay for it.
• 54:08
  They can't pay for it. They get it.
• 54:10
  Yes. It was so funny.
• 54:12
  I was like, this is great. When there's a part in the
• 54:14
  drama, they're like 50 seconds playing.
• 54:15
  I don't. Like in the club?
• 54:17
  I was like. The Black Eyed Peas are just.
• 54:21
  It was great, Yeah. It's like, that's good.
• 54:25
  I mean, and then the the $0.50 in the club is like over like
• 54:29
  this really dramatic scene. I mean, just sometimes they, I
• 54:35
  don't think they really we're matching up the actual yeah.
• 54:40
  No, they don't know the meaning. Of this, of this song, yeah, it
• 54:42
  wasn't magic, it wasn't matching, but OK.
• 54:45
  Sorry, but at the same time, you see in this episode that she
• 54:47
  gets her face scraped because she saves the second male lead
• 54:51
  from getting run over by the male lead on this.
• 54:55
  They haven't even met yet, like nobody's met each other yet, but
• 54:57
  she falls to the ground and scrapes her face and the second
• 55:01
  male lead Italian is up in arms. He's.
• 55:05
  But your face is the he's. Her face is so precious to him.
• 55:09
  All of us, yes. And he's like bandaging her up
• 55:12
  and they're so intimate. He's like blowing on her face
• 55:14
  real close and so scared that it's going to scar.
• 55:19
  Concerned about her, I think he says at one point, let them get
• 55:22
  the wrong idea if a scandal breaks out, we.
• 55:23
  Can just marry. He's like, yeah, he's like, I
• 55:26
  don't, yeah, he doesn't care. He says things like this to her,
• 55:29
  not quote, not knowing, I guess, that she has any feelings for
• 55:32
  him. But it's still obvious on our
• 55:34
  end. We can see how she's reacting to
• 55:36
  every little thing that he says and every little thing he does,
• 55:38
  every little touch, 'cause he's very handsy with her.
• 55:41
  He'll hug. He'll hug on her, even.
• 55:43
  Today, yeah, they are. Nowhere near he is with her.
• 55:48
  Yes, he was so handsy with her. It was it was like, OK, calm
• 55:52
  down, you know, let her go. I'm so.
• 55:54
  Touching on her. Always touching her and she's
• 55:56
  always like, you know, flinching at this, 'cause she likes him
• 56:00
  and she, she. Likes him.
• 56:01
  She wants him to touch him. But it's never a romantic.
• 56:04
  Yeah, you know, in that way. Exactly.
• 56:07
  He tucks her into bed and starts singing Love me Tender.
• 56:10
  Tinder. Yes, again, beautifully sung.
• 56:13
  Just. Beautifully sung, loved it.
• 56:17
  It was so bad, it was so. Bad.
• 56:19
  But anyways, they finally meet, so the male lead and the female
• 56:22
  lead meet and he promptly sells her into a strip club.
• 56:27
  Slash human trafficking. Yeah, it's bad.
• 56:30
  It's bad. That scene, I was like strip
• 56:32
  club. I was like.
• 56:33
  Wait a minute. I didn't.
• 56:36
  Remember this at all? Exactly.
• 56:37
  I was so I was like, this is a big moment here.
• 56:40
  I was like there was actual like.
• 56:42
  'Cause she's like. Body cheeks showing on the desk
• 56:45
  where they came there. I was like, wait a minute.
• 56:48
  Guys, yes, can you? Drama, 2000. 4 exactly.
• 56:51
  It's so it's so much more like rated R yeah 13 than the dramas
• 56:56
  even today. I would say absolutely.
• 56:58
  His buddies who are running the scam scammed her.
• 57:01
  He didn't scam her personally, but he still scams her by
• 57:05
  selling her off. But he feels some type of way
• 57:09
  because she's Korean. Yeah.
• 57:11
  And he's Korean, So he's kind of like, oh, OK.
• 57:14
  Like, I don't know. He feels some type of way.
• 57:16
  He feels sorry. He finds her luggage getting
• 57:19
  thrown about in the streets, dismantled by his friends.
• 57:23
  He sees her passport, and he sees who she is, her name and
• 57:26
  everything. And he actually comes back,
• 57:28
  circles back and rescues her from the place he sold her off
• 57:32
  from the place that he got her into.
• 57:33
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 57:35
  And they spend the night outside on a literal cardboard box.
• 57:41
  Because he's homeless. She even has a moment.
• 57:43
  She's like, you don't have homeless.
• 57:45
  She's like, you don't have a home to go back to.
• 57:47
  Like she literally is like, guy, I was following you all day
• 57:49
  because I thought you were gonna like, take me somewhere safe.
• 57:52
  And she's like a stray dog at this.
• 57:54
  She's a stray dog and she's like, just like hovering behind
• 57:56
  him the whole time and he's just walking ahead.
• 57:58
  Of her he. Didn't say anything to her and
• 58:00
  she's just following him like a puppy.
• 58:02
  And then when they get to their destination, it's a cardboard
• 58:06
  box. It was sad.
• 58:10
  It was actually kind of sad. I was like, because I didn't
• 58:12
  know he was homeless either to some extent because the way we
• 58:16
  met him, I didn't. I knew he was I.
• 58:17
  Didn't immediately think this man doesn't have a.
• 58:20
  Recovery. I did not think that at all.
• 58:22
  So I was like, wait, he doesn't have a place to take her back
• 58:24
  to. It's like this cardboard box.
• 58:27
  But yeah. It was, it was bad.
• 58:29
  Like it was like all kind of bad.
• 58:30
  But like on this evening during the night, she calls out for her
• 58:35
  mom because she's so scared shitless and she's freezing cold
• 58:38
  at night. And when he hears this, he kind
• 58:41
  of turns over and just immediately hugs her and cuddles
• 58:44
  with her and she's like. Ah, get off of me.
• 58:48
  I have a husband and children. That is very common in 2004
• 58:53
  Bellow dramas where the woman is in this position, this kind of
• 58:56
  like risque position with the Bell lead and then she
• 58:58
  immediately goes to I'm married, not my husband, and it's like
• 59:02
  that. Exactly.
• 59:03
  In Somerset, she's that's what. I'm thinking of exactly in
• 59:05
  Somerset, so yeah, yeah. But they, they spend the night
• 59:09
  like cuddling for warmth and just tenderness or whatever.
• 59:12
  And you're kind of like, OK, where the hell is this going to
• 59:15
  go? Yeah, you will not expect what
• 59:18
  happens next because the girlfriend that taught Soji sub
• 59:22
  how to speak Korean getting married to some mafioso because
• 59:29
  she is apparently a gold digger. She just wants money.
• 59:32
  She. Just wants money.
• 59:33
  Love isn't enough. I can't live.
• 59:35
  I can't eat love. I need money.
• 59:37
  Yeah. Like that, she doesn't.
• 59:38
  Say that she literally. Said something like that.
• 59:40
  Yeah, and he's crestfallen but super angry at her.
• 59:44
  He steals the bride vows. If we can't get married, then
• 59:47
  let's die. Together, it was Thelma Louise.
• 59:50
  So dramatic. Yes, it's going to be a Thelma.
• 59:52
  Louise He had them at the edge of a Cliff in the car.
• 59:54
  He was like, I'm going to gun it.
• 59:56
  And again, at any given point you're just like, what the fuck
• 59:59
  is going? What is going?
• 1:00:01
  On yes. He takes her back to the
• 1:00:03
  wedding, though. Which was surprising to me.
• 1:00:05
  I was like, what makes him which?
• 1:00:06
  Was really strange because they go through with the wedding.
• 1:00:09
  Oh, he initially came in saying that if you didn't, if she
• 1:00:13
  didn't make any more kimchi, kimchi talking about she's got
• 1:00:16
  to make more kimchi and that comes up.
• 1:00:20
  Really found a lot of meaning in that.
• 1:00:22
  It yeah, it comes back. Kimchi is.
• 1:00:24
  Exclusively. Korean.
• 1:00:26
  Yeah, exclusively. And this woman that he has
• 1:00:29
  lashed onto like a mother bird taught him Korea is his the
• 1:00:33
  closest tie to Korea, to be honest in Australia.
• 1:00:35
  And then attaching Kimtree on top of that, it just gave this.
• 1:00:39
  Is that him being connected to? Korea, he's losing his.
• 1:00:42
  Losing it. He was getting severed from it
• 1:00:43
  again. Yeah, he was to this white man,
• 1:00:46
  I mean to be. Honest, like some white dude
• 1:00:48
  that I don't even know. Like Jason, I think it was his
• 1:00:50
  name. Jason today was literally Jason.
• 1:00:52
  Jason was was stealing her away from him.
• 1:00:54
  Literally. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:00:56
  So she says. Oh, I didn't get to make any
• 1:00:58
  more before I left because they were literally, I guess, living
• 1:01:00
  together together right up until the wedding Wedding that was
• 1:01:03
  suddenly thrust upon him like it was wild behavior.
• 1:01:07
  Yeah, cuz when he found out she was getting married, he was
• 1:01:09
  buying her a dress with the money he had just scammed off of
• 1:01:11
  somebody. He literally was like shopping
• 1:01:13
  for her, like getting ready to have this Pretty Woman moment
• 1:01:16
  where the the sales clerk was like, you know, that's that's
• 1:01:19
  really expensive. You can't afford that kind of
• 1:01:21
  thing. Yeah.
• 1:01:21
  The Pretty Woman. Yeah, the Pretty Woman.
• 1:01:24
  And then he she's in there dress shopping.
• 1:01:26
  Yeah. For her wedding.
• 1:01:27
  Yeah. And he's like, wait.
• 1:01:28
  What is that is? Going Yeah, like she, he finds
• 1:01:30
  out simultaneously that she's been cheating on him, eminently
• 1:01:34
  getting married to some other. Guy and she invites him to the
• 1:01:38
  wedding she. Invites him to the wedding and
• 1:01:39
  that's when he steals her and like the kimchi and all that
• 1:01:41
  stuff, he delivers her back. The goofiest looking assassin
• 1:01:47
  with the literal forehead tattoo and a black leather jacket pulls
• 1:01:51
  a gun and starts shooting. Starts shooting the groom and
• 1:01:56
  the wedding party and the male lead Soji sub dives and tries to
• 1:02:02
  shield the bride. My favorite thing is you see all
• 1:02:05
  the bullets hitting all over, you see it hitting glassware,
• 1:02:09
  you see it hitting everywhere and I'm shocked that this
• 1:02:13
  lunatic managed to get 2 headshots. 2 to sold you sub not
• 1:02:18
  122. Two, and what even the fact that
• 1:02:22
  he was this man, this assailant, the fact that he was just
• 1:02:25
  casually drinking it, it during the wedding, mind you, he was,
• 1:02:30
  he was. Outside, he was.
• 1:02:32
  He was the. Road he was up the road then
• 1:02:35
  comes into the wedding is literally drinking with the
• 1:02:38
  forehead tattoo with. The forehead tattoo.
• 1:02:39
  And that doesn't that nobody thinks, no one, no one, no one
• 1:02:42
  was concerned about this. Dude, where's the security?
• 1:02:45
  This is mafia stuff. Like I was like, dude, you're
• 1:02:48
  getting married, you're in the mafia.
• 1:02:49
  You're like. Jason has the worst security,
• 1:02:53
  worst of all time. Fire everybody.
• 1:02:55
  It was so funny. I was like, this is a joke.
• 1:02:57
  Like it was. It was able to shoot.
• 1:02:59
  Just shoot up the entire wedding.
• 1:03:01
  So just have gets 2 bullets in the head, one is still lodged.
• 1:03:04
  The doctors are saying you might experience personality changes.
• 1:03:08
  It's an unclear lifespan. Obviously he has very little
• 1:03:13
  time to live. Very little and they say like
• 1:03:15
  they would have tried to remove it, he would have died
• 1:03:17
  instantly. So the bullet that was
• 1:03:19
  technically like keeping him alive at this point, but of
• 1:03:23
  course throughout time or overtime, it was going to
• 1:03:25
  gradually, not even gradually, it was going to slowly kill him.
• 1:03:29
  He's living on borrowed time. The Jason mob boss groom guy is
• 1:03:34
  out to kill him because he's still on pretty good terms with
• 1:03:37
  the bride. The bride literally cut the
• 1:03:39
  ex-girlfriend, wife or whatever packs a carry on for him and
• 1:03:44
  tells him I booked you a flight to Korea, get the fuck out.
• 1:03:47
  She also gave him lots of money. Lots of money, obscene amounts
• 1:03:50
  of money. She's like, this is going to
• 1:03:51
  last you a lifetime. Don't die here like a dog and go
• 1:03:56
  back to Korea is I think what she tells him, which there's a
• 1:04:00
  lot there. I feel like even in that
• 1:04:03
  sentence of if you're Korean, why die on foreign soil?
• 1:04:07
  Foreign go back to Korea and die in Korea.
• 1:04:10
  Yeah. And then with some dignity.
• 1:04:12
  Yeah. And even.
• 1:04:13
  Yeah. Like her calling him a dying
• 1:04:15
  there, like a dog, that idea of being a lost puppy, you know, at
• 1:04:20
  least if you're back in Korea, you least can say you're at
• 1:04:23
  home. You're in home, you know.
• 1:04:25
  So I feel like that was interesting too, to make him
• 1:04:28
  again here like this. Lost dog, lost puppy.
• 1:04:31
  Yeah, yeah. We cut to we're in Korea.
• 1:04:34
  This female lead is in some sort of like brand smart USA looking
• 1:04:38
  place which don't even exist anymore.
• 1:04:41
  Yes, like a video store, Yeah. Like a tech store and I love
• 1:04:46
  those places. So nostalgic for yes for that.
• 1:04:50
  So she's there running lines in front of a camera because she
• 1:04:53
  has like a low key aspiration to be an actress.
• 1:04:56
  Actress, which they never get. Never pick it up.
• 1:04:59
  Never pick it up again. Never.
• 1:05:01
  She's running lines and it's Romeo and Juliet.
• 1:05:05
  Yep, tragedy the tragic. That should give you a clue.
• 1:05:09
  It tells us what it is it tells us and the story it tells us.
• 1:05:12
  Yes, it tells you the literal end of the show right there.
• 1:05:16
  Because she's Juliet reciting Romeo and Juliet.
• 1:05:19
  In episode 2, he meets the twin sister.
• 1:05:23
  Who is well, I guess we should probably also mention that the
• 1:05:25
  minute he arrives in to Korea, he goes onto ATV show about
• 1:05:30
  Korean adoptees and it's like a show where they're like
• 1:05:34
  interviewing people who are you know who are back in Korea after
• 1:05:38
  being adopted and they're looking for their family.
• 1:05:41
  So this is their way of getting kind of pushed to the forefront
• 1:05:44
  so that if their family sees them, they can connect them with
• 1:05:47
  their family. Yeah.
• 1:05:48
  One of the people that are watching them is his nephew,
• 1:05:50
  this little boy who is absolutely a star.
• 1:05:54
  So good. Talk about amazing performances.
• 1:05:57
  I love him. I love him.
• 1:05:58
  Always has, always will. Yes.
• 1:06:00
  Gotchi was the best. I mean, so he's like watching
• 1:06:04
  this TV show because his mother is so yourself's character, twin
• 1:06:09
  sister. Of course, they don't know that
• 1:06:10
  yet, but he knows she's a wasn't, you know, adopted.
• 1:06:13
  So he's like watching this show to see if he could ever find any
• 1:06:17
  information for his mother so that that she can be reconnected
• 1:06:19
  with her family. So again, Gauchi right there
• 1:06:22
  from the beginning, you're like, he is just the sweetest little
• 1:06:25
  boy looking out for his mom and trying to find her family.
• 1:06:28
  And so when he sees that, I think, yeah, so just some
• 1:06:31
  character has this ring on this necklace that he, you know, has
• 1:06:35
  since he was adopted, he sees that looks similar to what his
• 1:06:39
  mom has. And so he starts to take note,
• 1:06:41
  like, this man might possibly be related to my mom.
• 1:06:45
  But yeah, that's kind of how we get to the point where he gets
• 1:06:48
  connected to his twin sister. Because they have the same
• 1:06:51
  necklace. And unfortunately she got hit by
• 1:06:54
  a car when she was seven years old outside of the orphanage.
• 1:06:57
  And now she's developmentally challenged.
• 1:06:59
  She's stuck at like a. Child's.
• 1:07:02
  Age right in her head, so she's disabled.
• 1:07:06
  Yes. But she has a child.
• 1:07:08
  She has a little boy. Complicated.
• 1:07:10
  Complicated already. And I wonder why they never tell
• 1:07:15
  us. Like why?
• 1:07:16
  What happened, What happened? I want to say it's almost
• 1:07:19
  implied though, when they had that big yeah, that that scene
• 1:07:23
  that was really hard to watch. I mean, I was, I was like, this
• 1:07:26
  is the one of the hardest parts of this drama.
• 1:07:28
  I'm going to be honest, I did not like that that scene at all.
• 1:07:31
  So I forgot about it. So when it came up again, I was
• 1:07:33
  like, oh, I hate this. Yeah.
• 1:07:35
  So I think that was kind of implied.
• 1:07:37
  I think that this happens to her in the neighborhood.
• 1:07:40
  She's kind of always falling victim to these thugs as they
• 1:07:43
  call them. And then for her just to have a
• 1:07:46
  sign, you kind of like I, I think that it's.
• 1:07:49
  Heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking and you
• 1:07:51
  definitely have to rub your two brain cells together to figure
• 1:07:55
  it out. You have to put that together.
• 1:07:57
  Guess what? What happened there?
• 1:07:58
  Because they never do explicitly say who Khalji's dad is.
• 1:08:03
  Exactly. He goes to visit the mom's house
• 1:08:07
  because he figures out who his biological mom is and the female
• 1:08:13
  lead, like he said, rents out the basement with her family.
• 1:08:16
  The mom works as a housekeeper. The father is some sort of
• 1:08:21
  driver for them. Let's talk about the dad.
• 1:08:25
  Let's. Just take a minute.
• 1:08:28
  Let's just take a minute and talk about this family because.
• 1:08:29
  What the fuck is that dad? He was the worst.
• 1:08:32
  The worst. He was the actual villain.
• 1:08:33
  He was the actual villain of the story.
• 1:08:35
  I did not realize that he was the actual villain.
• 1:08:38
  Like he's the villain of the story.
• 1:08:39
  Yes. Not the, not the mother.
• 1:08:42
  Not the mother. Not the mother she's at.
• 1:08:44
  She's a victim in this as well. Yes.
• 1:08:47
  I mean, he was the worst part of this drama.
• 1:08:50
  The fact that he was the reason why the twins were put up for
• 1:08:56
  adoption in the 1st place and then to keep it to himself the
• 1:08:59
  whole time. The whole freaking time.
• 1:09:01
  I was so mad at the end when that reveal happened to to
• 1:09:04
  Soldiers Hub's character and Moo Hulk and he kind of just like
• 1:09:07
  I'm sorry. That's all he says.
• 1:09:09
  He's like I'm. Sorry, I would pay for this for
• 1:09:11
  the rest of my life. I'm sorry.
• 1:09:12
  Like, dude, we're in episode 16. You know, I'm just, you're just
• 1:09:18
  now telling me. Like The thing is that dad, even
• 1:09:21
  from jump, like the early episodes, he goes to pick up the
• 1:09:24
  female lead from something I can't even remember what it is,
• 1:09:27
  and he asked the second male lead, Cheyun, about her.
• 1:09:31
  He's like, what does she like? What does she like to?
• 1:09:34
  Do he doesn't even care about his own daughter?
• 1:09:36
  And he, he says to himself, he's like, I don't even really know
• 1:09:40
  her. Yep, because he cares only about
• 1:09:43
  his actress, his who he works for like he's in.
• 1:09:47
  Love with her he's. Obsessed with they.
• 1:09:48
  Do not say that in the show. They do not.
• 1:09:51
  He is fucking in love with the actress mother.
• 1:09:55
  It's disgusting the way disgusting with her.
• 1:09:58
  It's disgusting. Mind you, she's a 50I mean she's
• 1:10:00
  like a 50 something year old woman and he calls her like
• 1:10:03
  she's a little girl still and it's like she's not a little
• 1:10:07
  girl. Stop calling her that.
• 1:10:09
  I mean, it's just the way he talks to her, the way her her,
• 1:10:13
  her, her this like she he was constantly hovering around over
• 1:10:16
  had some. Weird job description that they
• 1:10:19
  said it was a driver. I was like, this is not a
• 1:10:20
  driver, he's not a job. Instantly with her.
• 1:10:22
  He was like her. Just like.
• 1:10:24
  I mean, and wouldn't you? Call him her.
• 1:10:26
  I don't. Strange.
• 1:10:28
  Cuz she would call him something too.
• 1:10:30
  That was like, would she call him?
• 1:10:31
  OPA. Like, I don't even know.
• 1:10:32
  It was just like, yeah, I think it was OPA.
• 1:10:33
  Yeah, they should call him OPA. You're calling him OPA?
• 1:10:36
  Like it was just something. About their relationship that I
• 1:10:38
  never. I was like, this is not sit well
• 1:10:40
  with me, but you don't even know your own daughter.
• 1:10:42
  You know all about her, but you don't know about your own
• 1:10:45
  daughters. Got it?
• 1:10:47
  It was foul. It was foul.
• 1:10:48
  And I thought on 2nd watch that the writers seemed to be
• 1:10:52
  implying that they were siblings.
• 1:10:55
  Really. Because the father.
• 1:10:59
  Of the twins so. The father of the male lead and
• 1:11:01
  his twin sister were abandoned. Abandoned.
• 1:11:04
  The father is supposed to be some director.
• 1:11:06
  Married. With Married with children
• 1:11:08
  Married with. A family of his own.
• 1:11:10
  And I was like, oh, OK, they never show the director.
• 1:11:13
  They never say who it is. They never, like, reveal who it
• 1:11:16
  is. And I was like, was it the dad?
• 1:11:21
  Was it the female lead's dad? I.
• 1:11:24
  Don't think it was or was. He.
• 1:11:26
  Just obsessed with her in the same way that his daughter was
• 1:11:32
  obsessed with, yes, the second elite.
• 1:11:35
  I think that I think it's definitely the former because I
• 1:11:37
  mean latter because I think that especially towards the end there
• 1:11:40
  when he is like with the reporter guy who was also a
• 1:11:44
  little bit of a villain of the story, another villain of the
• 1:11:46
  story, to be honest. Like, I mean, when he was
• 1:11:49
  sitting and talking to him at the very end about like, like,
• 1:11:51
  why didn't you sell? Like, why didn't you release the
• 1:11:53
  book kind of thing? I feel like that was true about
• 1:11:55
  the director situation. I mean, which revealed to me his
• 1:11:59
  love for her. I thought it was best for her.
• 1:12:01
  And like, so you thought it was best for her to take her
• 1:12:04
  children from her children that aren't yours.
• 1:12:06
  You know what I mean? Like they weren't actually, no,
• 1:12:10
  I don't. So like, I don't think I don't,
• 1:12:13
  you know? Now that we're talking.
• 1:12:14
  It through. I don't think they were.
• 1:12:15
  Talking but but it's OK. He's like peeing outside the
• 1:12:18
  house. Going back to episode 3, the
• 1:12:21
  male lead is like peeing outside the house.
• 1:12:23
  The female lead thinks that he has come from Australia all the
• 1:12:28
  way to her to see her. She's like delusional and she's
• 1:12:32
  like, you can't. Why would you come all the way
• 1:12:33
  to? Australia.
• 1:12:34
  For me, like, he didn't, sweetheart.
• 1:12:37
  He did not. Yeah.
• 1:12:39
  And the old man that you mentioned, that reporter.
• 1:12:42
  I feel like this is a weird character that probably wouldn't
• 1:12:46
  exist and today and right if the drama was made to agree.
• 1:12:50
  Completely agree. Because it was super random
• 1:12:53
  super like hodgepodge together. The reason why he had this
• 1:12:57
  vendetta again wasn't even a good reason.
• 1:12:59
  Wasn't even a good reason the. Final scene of the drama
• 1:13:02
  literally in the last 10 minutes.
• 1:13:03
  They tell you like why he was mad.
• 1:13:05
  At her and it was like she stole her his sister's sister's
• 1:13:08
  husband back in the day and then.
• 1:13:10
  A few years later, the sister. Committed suicide and it was
• 1:13:13
  like OK what? What?
• 1:13:16
  I completely agree like that A. Character that they completely
• 1:13:19
  kept bathing like he was going to do something like, oh, he's
• 1:13:22
  going to be the one that reveals this that does this that he was
• 1:13:25
  to tell all book he was going to be he was right tell all book is
• 1:13:28
  such a that's also like really. Dated a tell all a tell.
• 1:13:32
  All book A physical book. So dated, Oh my God.
• 1:13:37
  Like nowadays it would. Just be you put it.
• 1:13:39
  Out on the Internet? Online, yeah.
• 1:13:41
  You put it out online, yeah. You just get.
• 1:13:43
  It and everyone. 'S like, Oh my gosh, it's going
• 1:13:45
  viral, this news, yeah, yeah, it would just go viral online
• 1:13:48
  versus him. Literally selling book.
• 1:13:52
  Remember, he was like. Collecting.
• 1:13:54
  Pictures to put. In.
• 1:13:55
  His book for the tell. I was like, Oh my God.
• 1:13:58
  And then he's just. So disgusting of a person.
• 1:14:02
  Not helpful. He's not he like they're living.
• 1:14:05
  Is he, are you living next to him or living in his house like
• 1:14:07
  it was unclear here he was living with them or next?
• 1:14:10
  Next to them, they were literally living in squalor in a
• 1:14:12
  It was one of those 10 minutes, yes, and he was not helpful.
• 1:14:16
  Like the stuff he would say when he was when our Gauchi was like,
• 1:14:20
  my uncle was dying basically. And he was just like, no, he's
• 1:14:23
  not. Yeah, he was like, no, he's not.
• 1:14:25
  He's fine. You're he's OK.
• 1:14:27
  I mean. The little boy is crying his
• 1:14:29
  eyes out. You know, it was just like, he
• 1:14:31
  was not a nice guy. He was not a good guy at all.
• 1:14:33
  I have to say the love. Triangle.
• 1:14:36
  Is it even a love triangle? I don't think it is.
• 1:14:40
  It was. Especially.
• 1:14:43
  Because everyone's threatening. To kill themselves.
• 1:14:45
  Every 5 minutes. I noticed that in the very
• 1:14:47
  episode. 1 episode 1 episode 1 starting in episode 1 we get
• 1:14:51
  constant moments of our 2 male leads specifically threatening
• 1:14:56
  to kill themselves or kill each other.
• 1:14:59
  I mean kill like take the die with the the love of their life
• 1:15:02
  that they love so much. It's like why threading death or
• 1:15:05
  suicide? Like I hated that from the
• 1:15:07
  beginning because it was. And again, if this is your.
• 1:15:11
  Thing then trigger warning, trigger warning show, but it was
• 1:15:15
  constant constant and I feel like that is sprinkled
• 1:15:19
  throughout the shows of this era of the early odds is taking
• 1:15:23
  things to the extreme that is mellow for the and being they
• 1:15:28
  love. It oh, dramatic over.
• 1:15:30
  Everything each of the leads are like, if you don't love me, I'm
• 1:15:33
  gonna kill myself. Kill myself.
• 1:15:35
  I'm gonna kill myself. I'm gonna kill.
• 1:15:35
  Myself, yes every second, especially this like I'm male
• 1:15:39
  lead especially him he. Literally jumps in the water,
• 1:15:41
  guys. He literally jumps in the water.
• 1:15:43
  He can't swim. He's literally trying to kill
• 1:15:44
  himself, guys. He's.
• 1:15:45
  Literally. Trying to kill him, it's just
• 1:15:47
  ridiculous. It's.
• 1:15:49
  Ridiculous. And it's not even like just.
• 1:15:52
  It's always freezing water, it's always a hit trip to the
• 1:15:55
  hospital. Everything is life or death.
• 1:15:59
  And I hate that. And I hate that because.
• 1:16:02
  That it's just like the drama itself is already about life and
• 1:16:05
  death. Like they're literally the the
• 1:16:07
  male lead is dying every single moment we watch.
• 1:16:10
  It's like embarrassing. Yes, it's embarrassing.
• 1:16:13
  To see. Like the?
• 1:16:15
  The. Male lead told you so doesn't do
• 1:16:17
  it. He doesn't after he who knows
• 1:16:19
  that he's going. To die but.
• 1:16:20
  He never threatens, like I'm going to kill myself, but the
• 1:16:24
  second male lead is constantly, constantly doing it, Yeah, and
• 1:16:28
  it's so frustrating. When you're like, people are
• 1:16:30
  literally dying, it's like Kim, people are actually dying, you
• 1:16:34
  know, like they like be serious. Yes, be serious.
• 1:16:36
  There are people who are actually.
• 1:16:37
  Sick and dying. Right now and you're mad because
• 1:16:40
  the girl won't answer your text message?
• 1:16:42
  No, calm down. Oh my God.
• 1:16:43
  But Speaking of text messages, how awesome.
• 1:16:46
  Was it to see flip phones? They were great.
• 1:16:48
  Which are on. Them the charms.
• 1:16:50
  Ringtones, OH. My gosh, I even like just like.
• 1:16:54
  Seeing them like. Type, yes.
• 1:16:56
  And those buttons and the sound, I'm like the good home days, the
• 1:17:01
  good home days. It was really nice.
• 1:17:03
  Yeah, it was, yeah. There's so much complexity to
• 1:17:07
  the relationship. Between the brothers, even
• 1:17:09
  before they know that they're brothers, the male leads.
• 1:17:12
  So what you said plays like this pick up game in the hospital
• 1:17:16
  which has a basketball court for some reason after he saved him
• 1:17:19
  from drowning, almost drowning. Yes, from drowning and he's in
• 1:17:23
  the hospital recuperating. They play this one-on-one and
• 1:17:27
  the male lead is like, you don't have a brother, right?
• 1:17:29
  Want me to be yer hyung? Yep.
• 1:17:31
  Which is like a, you know, honorary kind of position.
• 1:17:35
  And he says, OK, fine, sure, you saved my life.
• 1:17:38
  So yeah, you could be my. Young now like that's how they
• 1:17:41
  and it's as simple as that. Simple as that.
• 1:17:44
  Where he ingratiates himself with at this point, who we think
• 1:17:47
  is his biological half brother, yes, We think this is his half
• 1:17:51
  brother, guys, yes. The whole way through you think
• 1:17:54
  this is his half brother guy brother.
• 1:17:57
  He teaches the the second. Male lead how to swim Yep, he
• 1:18:01
  lets him drown a little, he lets him die a little bit and.
• 1:18:05
  Then you know, brings him back to life.
• 1:18:08
  That's how close they are. His brothers just like stuff.
• 1:18:10
  It's just the whole thing is just unhinged like.
• 1:18:13
  This revenge plot is a it's a wreck.
• 1:18:17
  It's a wreck. It's not a very good.
• 1:18:19
  Revenge story. No, no, he literally lets him
• 1:18:22
  drown a little bit, resuscitates him and then and then is washing
• 1:18:26
  his back in the showers afterwards.
• 1:18:28
  It's like, but this guy, like you can see that he's he.
• 1:18:32
  Hates the success. He hates their love.
• 1:18:36
  He hates that the family, you know, his mom and the brother
• 1:18:39
  are so close. They have an unhealthy
• 1:18:43
  relationship closeness. Which?
• 1:18:45
  Makes the reveal at the end a lot more like what the hell,
• 1:18:50
  that's what I was. Picking up on.
• 1:18:52
  The entire drama because I was picking up on because the.
• 1:18:57
  Mom is obsessed with her son. She's obsessed with her son,
• 1:19:02
  with her son. Constantly doing promos with.
• 1:19:05
  Him where they look like they're a couple couple together doing
• 1:19:08
  duets on stage together. She is like.
• 1:19:11
  Kicking all the time next to. Him.
• 1:19:14
  So why? Are they sleeping in the?
• 1:19:15
  Same bed, sleeping in the same bed.
• 1:19:17
  I don't know about that. Like it's so questionable.
• 1:19:22
  It's super questionable like. Even a moment she like spanks
• 1:19:25
  him yes in. The bed.
• 1:19:26
  I'm like your son, but he's like, how?
• 1:19:31
  Old is. He he was in his twenties, 20s
• 1:19:34
  and you're sleeping. In bed with him.
• 1:19:35
  Spanking him it was not Yeah, it's so problematic their
• 1:19:40
  relationship, but then. The male lead sees all of this
• 1:19:43
  and he's like this should be me, mine, this should be me.
• 1:19:47
  I am also her son. Not to mention my twin sister
• 1:19:52
  and the nephew were dirt poor living in squalor.
• 1:19:56
  Living in squalor, So it is. Really, the juxtaposition
• 1:20:00
  between them. Which is constant throughout the
• 1:20:02
  show, where they're looking on toward this relationship, toward
• 1:20:07
  the mom, looking in through the giant glass window into the
• 1:20:10
  family room and stuff. And it is brutal.
• 1:20:12
  It's hard to watch. Yeah, you can see and like.
• 1:20:15
  The and I was making fun of the cat we're making.
• 1:20:17
  Fun of the cap. And the pull down moment, but
• 1:20:19
  like there is that big cool down moment when he is in the car
• 1:20:22
  with them, like he's driving them.
• 1:20:24
  When he becomes his young, he also becomes his manager.
• 1:20:27
  Yeah, his manager, yeah. And he is driving.
• 1:20:31
  Them back from. Somewhere, and she's like
• 1:20:34
  letting her son lay his head on her lap in the back of the car
• 1:20:38
  and she's singing him a lullaby because he's sleepy or he's
• 1:20:41
  tired. It's just he's so spoiled, so
• 1:20:44
  such a baby. And a little baby.
• 1:20:47
  He's having nightmares. About ghosts at Ghost Big Age.
• 1:20:50
  At his big age, he's scared of gold and he needed a little
• 1:20:54
  love. Abide to go to sleep in the back
• 1:20:55
  of the car after a long hard day of singing horribly and then we
• 1:21:02
  have and we have our little character driving them and
• 1:21:04
  seeing them back there and he hears her singing this lullaby
• 1:21:07
  to him and he starts to tear up listening to his mom sing this
• 1:21:13
  song to this to her, you know her son.
• 1:21:16
  And then when they are getting out of the car or whatever and
• 1:21:18
  she or she calls him and he like takes the moment to cover his
• 1:21:20
  face with the hat because he doesn't want them to see him
• 1:21:23
  crying. But even moments like that were
• 1:21:25
  really sad to have this revenge story.
• 1:21:28
  He's trying to get revenge on this, this mother and her son
• 1:21:32
  also just kind of wishing that was him.
• 1:21:35
  Like, if I could just have it be me, I wouldn't want revenge, you
• 1:21:37
  know, like, if I could just have her love me.
• 1:21:39
  I don't need this. I don't need to be a bad guy.
• 1:21:41
  I don't want to be the bad guy if I could just have her.
• 1:21:44
  And I think that's what was frustrating to get to the end.
• 1:21:46
  It was like he never got to have her.
• 1:21:49
  Yeah, he never had that. He had proxy.
• 1:21:52
  Proxy. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:21:54
  Very much proxy. Mothers.
• 1:21:55
  Oh my. That was my biggest problem with
• 1:21:58
  this story was the the mothering that the other women had to
• 1:22:01
  become. Literally, because that is the
• 1:22:03
  female lead is very motherly. It's very warm.
• 1:22:05
  She's very caring. He's.
• 1:22:08
  Drawn to that? He's drawn to all of the times
• 1:22:10
  that she thinks of other people other than herself.
• 1:22:13
  You know, she's crying due to this love triangle, this love
• 1:22:17
  square, whatever you want to call it, in the streets,
• 1:22:19
  literally crying in the streets. And he's following her from
• 1:22:23
  across the street and he sees her stop because there's a
• 1:22:26
  child, a lost child. And she's like drying her tears,
• 1:22:30
  tears and trying to like figure out what to do with this child
• 1:22:34
  and get the child to the parents.
• 1:22:36
  And she takes it upon herself. She does this good deed.
• 1:22:39
  And she's always like that. He sees her do that multiple.
• 1:22:41
  Times we have multiple scenes when she is basically in the
• 1:22:45
  middle of the street doing something and then at the same
• 1:22:48
  time he sees her taking care of someone else or something else.
• 1:22:52
  In one case it's a stuffed toy dog.
• 1:22:56
  That because OK bloody we have to talk about the other half of
• 1:23:00
  this revenge story. Which is not just him getting
• 1:23:02
  close to the family and trying to, you know, sabotage or
• 1:23:06
  whatever. The sabotage also manifests in
• 1:23:09
  he literally seduces the second female, the lead, who is
• 1:23:14
  technically the one that. Our Yoon is in love with.
• 1:23:19
  I don't know if this would even fly.
• 1:23:22
  Today. You don't think so?
• 1:23:24
  I don't, I don't think. The seduction.
• 1:23:27
  The the. Seduction.
• 1:23:30
  He literally. Bought an.
• 1:23:31
  Office Tel Condo. In the same building as her to
• 1:23:35
  try and basically have these mysterious run insurance with
• 1:23:38
  her mysterious stupid get up get up he.
• 1:23:43
  Slicks. Back his hair.
• 1:23:45
  He puts on. This fake pencil mustache and
• 1:23:49
  then he wears glasses, yellow sunglasses at all times.
• 1:23:55
  And this is his costume, this is his disguise.
• 1:23:59
  Because she obviously sees him as a manager next to Tegyu in
• 1:24:04
  the second. Male lead.
• 1:24:06
  So every time she sees him he does some crazy.
• 1:24:10
  Not it's not even crazy it's just like random mysterious
• 1:24:14
  thing. He says something to her that
• 1:24:16
  piques her interest. The best 1 is that when they
• 1:24:18
  first meet though and he says. This if you get involved with
• 1:24:22
  me, it's going to be till death and like literally he says he's
• 1:24:26
  like if you. She's like, don't.
• 1:24:27
  Basically like don't ever don't cross the line because if you
• 1:24:30
  cross the line when you get involved with me, it's going to
• 1:24:33
  be till death. And he's like literally because
• 1:24:35
  I'm dying, you know, So like it's going to literally be till
• 1:24:37
  death. But it was it was a bit.
• 1:24:41
  Much and she's. Supposed to be like a reformed,
• 1:24:44
  you know, cheater at this point because she's technically at
• 1:24:46
  this point dating Che Yoon. So she's like kind of thrown
• 1:24:50
  away her old ways. So when he's like taunting her
• 1:24:54
  and like kind of, you know, trying to seduce her and she's
• 1:24:56
  kind of like absolutely not. I'm that's not me anymore.
• 1:25:00
  I don't want this. But she's obviously still
• 1:25:02
  falling into his trap because she's, she's she.
• 1:25:05
  I mean, she was a sucker for it. She really was.
• 1:25:09
  I did not like her. Character.
• 1:25:12
  Only because towards the later episodes she had nothing to do.
• 1:25:15
  She was just walking around at some point.
• 1:25:17
  Yeah, they him. Calling her to take her to
• 1:25:20
  digital and then actually her just leaving, ending up leaving
• 1:25:23
  it. I was like, that was a waste of
• 1:25:25
  character right there. That was a waste.
• 1:25:27
  A waste because it's not like he couldn't have paid for it
• 1:25:30
  himself. Yeah, he could have got there.
• 1:25:32
  He could have did it, yeah, he could have got there to JJ.
• 1:25:34
  People to feel like he didn't need her to take him.
• 1:25:37
  No. And then as soon as she gets
• 1:25:38
  there, she's calling. He's here.
• 1:25:40
  Come get him, you know? Yeah.
• 1:25:41
  She's like, come get your man. Come get your man.
• 1:25:43
  It's fun, Yeah. Like I I can't do anything for.
• 1:25:45
  Him. He doesn't want me.
• 1:25:46
  He don't want me. He took off the mustache like he
• 1:25:48
  doesn't love me anymore when he. Had the mustache all night.
• 1:25:50
  He wanted me. OK, he doesn't have the mustache
• 1:25:53
  anymore. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty bad.
• 1:25:56
  Let's talk about the mom a little bit, because I.
• 1:25:59
  Forgot about the moment that she has a little hissy fit at the
• 1:26:01
  local restaurant that's serving blood sausage and the owner is
• 1:26:06
  kind of like a low class establishment, doesn't have good
• 1:26:11
  sanitary methods. And the lady serves the soup,
• 1:26:14
  putting her thumb in the soup and serves it at the table.
• 1:26:18
  Yeah, she loses it. She's.
• 1:26:20
  Like this is I would. Never eat here like how dare you
• 1:26:23
  bring. Me here to eat this.
• 1:26:24
  That Lady, the restaurant owner, throws blood sausage.
• 1:26:28
  All over her I miss how much food.
• 1:26:31
  Was. Thrown around in the show,
• 1:26:34
  That's so true. They don't do that anymore.
• 1:26:36
  They do. Not do that.
• 1:26:38
  Anymore milk. Milk.
• 1:26:40
  Milk, you know, Yeah, you got to throw the food sometimes you.
• 1:26:43
  Have to throw it I'm. Like that is.
• 1:26:45
  Classic. Where did that go?
• 1:26:47
  But then her hissy. Fit turned into Muhuk.
• 1:26:50
  'S fizzy fit like he actually threw a worse hissy fit because
• 1:26:53
  there is so many competing feelings here and.
• 1:26:57
  He he wants to please her. And I thought.
• 1:26:59
  That was going to be a. Moment.
• 1:27:01
  I don't know, I even think. Me watching this the same time,
• 1:27:03
  I don't, I didn't remember. I was like, oh, is this a moment
• 1:27:05
  where she's going to actually like, oh, I like this guy.
• 1:27:08
  He's kind of like me, you know, he's a little mean, like I can
• 1:27:11
  be, you know, I thought that was going to be a little moment that
• 1:27:14
  they were brought further together, but no, not at all.
• 1:27:17
  Like, and I kept waiting for that to happen.
• 1:27:20
  I think again, it was like, oh, there's got to be a moment where
• 1:27:22
  he gets a little bit from her because that's his mom, right?
• 1:27:25
  Like she's got to have a little bit.
• 1:27:27
  But like, you never see that with him.
• 1:27:30
  And that was hard for me. I was like, come on, give him
• 1:27:32
  something. He's dying and we got nothing.
• 1:27:35
  He's got nothing. He doesn't have anything.
• 1:27:38
  God, give him a little something.
• 1:27:40
  The female lead goes back to clean up the restaurant because
• 1:27:42
  of course, so Adisa ripped it all apart like a gorilla.
• 1:27:46
  She stays overnight, but she was sick like starting the day.
• 1:27:50
  She was already feeling feverish and sick.
• 1:27:52
  And he goes back to this small town that they were at filming
• 1:27:56
  earlier. He takes care of her and she's
• 1:27:59
  hell. That's the other thing she just
• 1:28:01
  knows someone took. Care of her through the night
• 1:28:04
  and she was sick and I was like, Oh my God, it's classic,
• 1:28:07
  classic. Classic.
• 1:28:09
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:28:11
  That the Mel Lee actually cares about her.
• 1:28:14
  No. I hated that she also was like
• 1:28:16
  oh. You you saved my.
• 1:28:21
  Life like she. I was like, OK, settle down.
• 1:28:23
  It was just a high fever. It was not.
• 1:28:25
  You were gonna, you were not gonna die, she said.
• 1:28:27
  She was gonna die. She literally thought she was
• 1:28:28
  gonna die. She really.
• 1:28:29
  She really? Thought she really thought.
• 1:28:31
  I love the cliffhanger. Endings though, they're the
• 1:28:33
  best. They're the best.
• 1:28:35
  And so this male lead is there as she's pouring her heart and
• 1:28:39
  saying thank you to Tayyun for taking care of her all night and
• 1:28:41
  saving her life and all this stuff, and the male lead is
• 1:28:44
  there. You think he's going to say
• 1:28:45
  something or it's just going to end on him looking sad or
• 1:28:49
  whatever for Lauren? No.
• 1:28:51
  He looks up and then unto frame pops his camera phone because he
• 1:28:58
  takes a photo of them hugging. I'm gonna.
• 1:29:02
  Use it. Yeah.
• 1:29:03
  I loved it. He.
• 1:29:04
  I. Mean it was like a freeze.
• 1:29:05
  Frame of him. Holding up the phone in front of
• 1:29:06
  his eye and you're just like. And he just like takes the
• 1:29:10
  picture. It's like, so dramatic.
• 1:29:12
  I never see someone pressing a phone button be so dramatic.
• 1:29:17
  It was just a Press of a button. And we knew it was going to be
• 1:29:20
  bad times for our Che because he was going to use that the
• 1:29:24
  scandal upon him. And he does he he does get a
• 1:29:28
  scandal out of that. They do break the scandal, I
• 1:29:32
  think in the next episode and. The mom is shown to be a
• 1:29:35
  classist, very much so because she is insulting.
• 1:29:40
  The female lead. And you know, oh, this is going
• 1:29:43
  to ruin Tay. You never be with you.
• 1:29:46
  Yeah, Like never be with. Her and all this stuff because.
• 1:29:49
  They're unequal. She's of a lower class than he
• 1:29:53
  is. He's a celebrity.
• 1:29:55
  He's a celebrity. Yeah.
• 1:29:56
  Her dad. Finally sticks up for her in
• 1:29:58
  that. Moment and I was like OK, the
• 1:30:00
  only positive thing in the entire show.
• 1:30:07
  Also in this episode. The twin sister.
• 1:30:09
  Gets sexually assaulted in the street, which is, I think that
• 1:30:12
  moment that you were referring to earlier.
• 1:30:13
  That was really, it was hard. That was hard.
• 1:30:17
  I hated. That moment.
• 1:30:19
  But it was a moment that for the Mujo character, it was his
• 1:30:24
  moment to really see that this is his family.
• 1:30:27
  He wants to take care of his family.
• 1:30:29
  He wants to to have this family in a way.
• 1:30:32
  And I thought that was a good turning point for his character,
• 1:30:35
  at least when he finally kind of took in his twin sister and his
• 1:30:39
  nephew as like, these are my people, These are my folks,
• 1:30:41
  These are my people. And I can at least say I have
• 1:30:44
  them. And I thought that was a really
• 1:30:46
  good part of that to come out of that horrific moment for her
• 1:30:50
  because it's horrible. It was.
• 1:30:51
  It was so really, she's loving her skin.
• 1:30:53
  Yeah, it was it and everything. It was.
• 1:30:56
  They don't do stuff like this. They don't do.
• 1:30:57
  That anymore this was really. Rough guys when I I and that's
• 1:31:00
  why. Like, let's, let's talk about.
• 1:31:01
  How bad this Let's talk about it because she gets assaulted on
• 1:31:05
  the. Street by a couple of thugs who
• 1:31:07
  kissed her. What they say is sexual assault.
• 1:31:08
  Yeah, sexually assaulted when they when she said no, they did
• 1:31:11
  not say sexual assault. They didn't say the term sexual
• 1:31:15
  assault. No, they say, kissed her.
• 1:31:16
  They kissed her, yeah. And then the police came.
• 1:31:20
  Before it got more serious. That is a direct quote.
• 1:31:23
  Direct quote from the old the old man.
• 1:31:26
  Who is the worst, the worst, the worst?
• 1:31:29
  He's talking to and he's saying this in front of her son, her
• 1:31:32
  son, her son, who's distraught. Crying he is.
• 1:31:36
  Crying he is, which I love rollably he and it.
• 1:31:39
  Sounds weird, consolable about how his mother was assaulted,
• 1:31:43
  was assaulted in broad daylight. And I have to say this, I
• 1:31:47
  thought that was wonderfully done that.
• 1:31:50
  For, and I, I think this is not, does not happen as much as it
• 1:31:52
  should anymore with prey dramas, but like a child character and
• 1:31:56
  such a dark kind of twisted story being like experiencing
• 1:32:01
  emotions as a child. Like he was taking care of his
• 1:32:03
  mother. A lot of the drama that is true,
• 1:32:05
  but they still allowed his, his child character to be a child
• 1:32:09
  and like was allowed to cry and, and get upset and to be sad
• 1:32:13
  about things as opposed to like, I'm just going to be strong.
• 1:32:16
  I have to do this because my mom needs me.
• 1:32:18
  Like he would cry to his mom, even though she wouldn't be very
• 1:32:20
  helpful, he would still cry to her.
• 1:32:22
  And I still I think that they need to do that more with child
• 1:32:25
  characters these days were mature do mature.
• 1:32:28
  Let them be a little child. So I did.
• 1:32:30
  Really appreciate that. Like as much as he was a very
• 1:32:32
  mature, you know, little boy, he still was a child at times.
• 1:32:36
  And they kept reminding us this is a child dealing with these
• 1:32:39
  really harsh situations. He didn't go to school, he
• 1:32:42
  didn't go to school, He couldn't go to school.
• 1:32:43
  They tried to. Enroll him in school.
• 1:32:45
  Couldn't get him to school like it was.
• 1:32:47
  Yeah, it was really, it was really sad, but it was rough.
• 1:32:50
  And the old man, like we were saying, we always talk shit
• 1:32:52
  about this old. Man in this episode.
• 1:32:53
  But like, he was unfazed, unfazed.
• 1:32:56
  He says, oh, it's no big. Deal.
• 1:32:58
  This happens sometimes. And the male lead is torn up.
• 1:33:03
  Soji sub goes in as she's taking a bath.
• 1:33:07
  She's taking about like a giant bucket bucket top, all of her
• 1:33:10
  clothes still on. And she has the little
• 1:33:13
  exfoliating. What do they call them?
• 1:33:15
  Like the little mittens that they used when they scrubbed,
• 1:33:18
  like a scrub pad Scrub. Yeah.
• 1:33:19
  And she's scrubbing her face, scrubbing the shit out of her
• 1:33:23
  face. She's scrubbing her.
• 1:33:24
  It's her. Nillow pad She has her Nillow
• 1:33:26
  pad and she's. Scrubbing her neck and her
• 1:33:28
  chest. And you can see.
• 1:33:29
  It's Red all hurting herself. She's hurting herself because
• 1:33:32
  she feels. Justing because of what Just.
• 1:33:34
  Took place and she's trying to scrub all that off and so you're
• 1:33:37
  watching this and he's watching this too and I was just like he
• 1:33:40
  is so emotional he's but trying to keep it together yes.
• 1:33:44
  Because he comes down to her and he tells her, like, do you want
• 1:33:47
  me to help? You he actually do you want me
• 1:33:48
  to help you? And originally I think I thought
• 1:33:51
  he was going to go after the thugs, like go find the guys
• 1:33:53
  that did it. But instead what he does is he
• 1:33:56
  ends up scrubbing her for herself.
• 1:33:58
  Like he takes the and he's because she was hurting herself.
• 1:34:01
  She was actually hurting herself and I like that he took it upon
• 1:34:04
  himself. Like obviously she wants to feel
• 1:34:06
  clean. She wants to do this at this
• 1:34:08
  time. So instead of me telling her to
• 1:34:10
  stop it or like don't do that, he takes over and does it less
• 1:34:14
  forcefully. Obviously, you know, so like
• 1:34:16
  that was just like a he's so tender with her, so tender and
• 1:34:22
  he's apologizes. For yelling at her because he
• 1:34:24
  yelled at her. Earlier.
• 1:34:25
  He's constantly like in the earlier episodes, yelling,
• 1:34:28
  trying to reconcile. Like how do I even treat her?
• 1:34:31
  Because it is. Frustrating to deal with in a
• 1:34:34
  fully grown adult, but she's not.
• 1:34:36
  She's a child, you know, basically.
• 1:34:39
  And he's frustrated with their entire lot in life and he yells
• 1:34:43
  at her for little things. So he apologizes and he promises
• 1:34:47
  to never do it again. And then he helps her take a
• 1:34:49
  bath with like a soft cloth. Instead.
• 1:34:52
  The quote is, I'll wash it all the way.
• 1:34:55
  Yep, I wash it all the way. It's these moments that make you
• 1:34:59
  really get on board with with a male lead and you do with.
• 1:35:03
  And then he messes it up the next scene when he and he
• 1:35:07
  messes. It up like because he does yell
• 1:35:09
  at her for like other things. It's not as constant and he is
• 1:35:13
  much nicer. Yes, to her, not as severe, but
• 1:35:17
  this wouldn't happen. It wouldn't.
• 1:35:19
  This just wouldn't happen in a drama today where someone is so
• 1:35:24
  obviously abusive to somebody. That's disabled.
• 1:35:26
  Exactly and also they would be so abusive and then it.
• 1:35:30
  Like I feel like over time they would just be a good guy.
• 1:35:33
  They would just be better, you know what I mean?
• 1:35:34
  He does not ever. He relaxes, never like, Oh my
• 1:35:38
  gosh, he's the perfect bell lead.
• 1:35:40
  Now. He's never good, he's never
• 1:35:42
  perfect. He's never a sweetheart to the
• 1:35:44
  10th degree. Like he's always troubled and
• 1:35:47
  rough around the edges and brutish all the way to the very
• 1:35:50
  end. And that to me is not normal
• 1:35:53
  anymore. It's like, no, they, I mean to
• 1:35:55
  think we followed that character from beginning to end, a
• 1:35:58
  character who was kind of like unchanging and they're bruteness
• 1:36:01
  and they're kind of like, I mean, yelling to the very last
• 1:36:03
  episode, like yelling at folks, man.
• 1:36:05
  I mean, I feel like the only slapping a kid on the subway,
• 1:36:08
  subway. The old ladies he would like
• 1:36:10
  push old ladies. Away it was.
• 1:36:13
  Rob I was like, why are you so mean like?
• 1:36:16
  He was quite. He was unruly.
• 1:36:18
  Yeah. He's like an animal was and it
• 1:36:20
  all the way to the end, they would do a drastic shift and
• 1:36:23
  they would become this like little Angel by the end.
• 1:36:26
  He's going to be the way that he's going to be.
• 1:36:28
  I mean it just is what it is they get and granted he is brain
• 1:36:32
  damaged. I know, I know.
• 1:36:34
  That's like tough to like keep in the back of your mind.
• 1:36:37
  Yeah, He is brain damaged. Yeah.
• 1:36:38
  He's got a bullet in his brain. That and he's riding in pain,
• 1:36:42
  Riding in pain every. He's.
• 1:36:43
  He's vomiting. He's.
• 1:36:45
  Bleeding. Profusely.
• 1:36:47
  Not just like a Nosebleed. I mean bleeding profusely from
• 1:36:50
  his nose and his mouth. That time he was holding his
• 1:36:53
  mouth when she was talking to him and it was just blood
• 1:36:56
  everywhere. I was just like, I can't do
• 1:36:58
  this. I was like, I can't do this.
• 1:37:00
  I could not do this. It was really, and it was.
• 1:37:03
  Like the acting? Was top tier because I had the
• 1:37:06
  hardest time watching him. Like it was so bad.
• 1:37:09
  Those pain scenes when he was like the writhing in pain and
• 1:37:13
  just like vomiting over a toilet.
• 1:37:15
  It was just like this is hard to watch guys.
• 1:37:17
  It was it was hard to watch. So we get some more scenes of
• 1:37:21
  like they. Start liking each other, the
• 1:37:25
  male lead and the female lead. She's teaching him honorifics on
• 1:37:27
  the subway and it is revealed that she loves Tagun.
• 1:37:33
  She's loved him all her life and Tagun has the worst reaction.
• 1:37:39
  Like what do you mean you are? In love with me.
• 1:37:41
  That was his actual reaction, yeah.
• 1:37:44
  Yeah, and he tests her. By telling her, oh, I love you.
• 1:37:49
  And then he runs downstairs wondering how her body is
• 1:37:52
  reacting. And he's like, why is your heart
• 1:37:53
  beating so fast? Yeah, he's upset by it,
• 1:37:57
  genuinely. But.
• 1:37:58
  Again. Why would you do?
• 1:37:59
  That to her, that's inconsiderate.
• 1:38:01
  If someone says there is an asshole, there's all assholes.
• 1:38:05
  It's horrible, The. Whole time.
• 1:38:06
  The whole time that everybody. Is everybody there's Like,
• 1:38:10
  where's the good guys, man? Where are the good guys?
• 1:38:12
  I know there are no green flags in this.
• 1:38:15
  No, don't look for them. They're not.
• 1:38:16
  Here, not one, she says at this point when I look at him.
• 1:38:20
  Referring to the male lead. I feel like I'm looking at
• 1:38:23
  myself. He is shy, awkward, and can't
• 1:38:25
  quite express his feelings right.
• 1:38:27
  I feel sorry for him. Yep.
• 1:38:30
  And then she announced that she's going to travel to Africa.
• 1:38:33
  She's going to move away to Africa.
• 1:38:36
  Like what? What?
• 1:38:37
  What was that about? What the hell is that?
• 1:38:39
  Yeah, she doesn't. Guys she does not move to.
• 1:38:41
  Africa and of course, the. Next question is what?
• 1:38:44
  What do you mean Africa? Where in Africa?
• 1:38:46
  Where Africa is not a country, They.
• 1:38:50
  Don't ever say. What country she's they don't
• 1:38:51
  ever say. They just say.
• 1:38:52
  Like Africa, she wants a place where she's not going to hear.
• 1:38:55
  Any news of Korea? OK, fine, we'll let you have
• 1:38:58
  that. But other than that, no, you
• 1:39:00
  didn't say a country. So there was nowhere you were
• 1:39:02
  moving anywhere because you didn't even know where you were
• 1:39:03
  coming, he says to her. The mail lead says to her before
• 1:39:07
  you go. Make kimchi.
• 1:39:09
  See again, there it is. Again, there it again.
• 1:39:12
  There it is. There's the kimchi refugee
• 1:39:14
  because back to when you just mentioned how she when they
• 1:39:16
  started liking each other and when she he was, she was
• 1:39:18
  teaching him how to be, you know, respectful and polite in
• 1:39:22
  his speech. And now that he's in Korea, even
• 1:39:25
  that scene again and there's more scenes that follow that her
• 1:39:28
  taking on this motherly position for him.
• 1:39:30
  So it her motherly position that she was already doing for you,
• 1:39:34
  it starts to shift over to him. And and so that was when I was
• 1:39:38
  just like, I felt sorry for her every time.
• 1:39:41
  I just kept feeling sorry for her.
• 1:39:42
  I mean, even the ending reveals itself that because she has a
• 1:39:45
  moment with you and I think maybe that same episode or yeah,
• 1:39:49
  I think it would seem episode in the earlier when she's yelling
• 1:39:52
  at him that he's treating her like his mother, like I'm not
• 1:39:55
  your mother. She says that the thing that
• 1:39:57
  keeps happening with you and but she doesn't notice it starts to
• 1:40:00
  kind of trickle, at least to me, over to you Hook as well.
• 1:40:04
  She says I can't make kimchi, but I can make radish kimchi.
• 1:40:09
  And he smiles and I love that scene of him.
• 1:40:11
  Like he looks so disappointed that she said no to that.
• 1:40:14
  She said no. But then she says, well, but I
• 1:40:17
  can make radish kimchi. And then he's like, Oh my God.
• 1:40:19
  She said yes, I'm going to get kimchi.
• 1:40:21
  Kimchi made kimchi until his mother actually stayed.
• 1:40:25
  Like, yeah, mother, I mean, cuz then the next scenes are
• 1:40:29
  basically these montages of like her basically moving in with him
• 1:40:33
  and moves in like a mother, a figure again.
• 1:40:37
  So I'm like, there is this moment where it's like, that's
• 1:40:39
  how we're supposed to know that this is love for him.
• 1:40:43
  Like why wouldn't he fall in love with a woman who's like his
• 1:40:46
  mother, right? Like that's what it the mother
• 1:40:48
  he never had, that mother that he never had.
• 1:40:50
  Why wouldn't he love fall in love with?
• 1:40:51
  Her, you know. I mean, it's the love that he
• 1:40:53
  had from his ex back in Australia, like the same kind of
• 1:40:56
  love he had for her. I believe me, Kimchi, she's
• 1:40:59
  actually stepping in helping me, you know, living, making this
• 1:41:02
  home with me. Like she started teaching them
• 1:41:05
  all how to read and like write their letters and stuff like
• 1:41:08
  that, literally. And even when like the little
• 1:41:10
  one Gauchi, he's. Not enrolled in school.
• 1:41:12
  So she's like, oh, I need to go help him get into.
• 1:41:14
  She tries to enroll him. Yeah.
• 1:41:15
  She becomes his mother, the twin sister and the.
• 1:41:18
  Diamond ring. Debacle.
• 1:41:20
  Yeah. That was brutal.
• 1:41:21
  It was so hard to watch because it was hard to watch.
• 1:41:24
  This is her mother. It's bad.
• 1:41:26
  The mother calls her like a freak.
• 1:41:28
  It's. An entire thing.
• 1:41:29
  The cops get called and the female lead is literally just
• 1:41:34
  sitting outside letting this all happen.
• 1:41:36
  She does not. I really I was shocked by that,
• 1:41:39
  did not. Understand that I was shocked I
• 1:41:41
  was cuz she's known to always. Kind of step in.
• 1:41:44
  And help. And this was the time when she
• 1:41:46
  didn't do that. And so when he comes and sees
• 1:41:48
  her doing, like, standing outside, Yeah, He's like, are
• 1:41:51
  you kidding me? He looks at her.
• 1:41:52
  Yeah. Are you kidding me?
• 1:41:53
  And I think it was also just harder for him.
• 1:41:55
  That's their mother that's doing this, berating and belittling
• 1:41:59
  her child. Yeah.
• 1:42:00
  It's horrible to watch the prayer.
• 1:42:02
  Do you want to talk about the prayer?
• 1:42:04
  Oh, the prayer. What episode was the prayer so I
• 1:42:07
  have. It down as episode 8 if you let
• 1:42:09
  me have her. For the time I have left, if you
• 1:42:12
  let her comfort me. For the time I have left, if you
• 1:42:15
  don't hurt me again. I could stop everything right
• 1:42:19
  now. The hatred, the anchor.
• 1:42:21
  I'll let it all go. Yes, the prayer so.
• 1:42:26
  I I. I thought it was interesting
• 1:42:27
  because it. Came out of nowhere.
• 1:42:29
  There's no mention of God from the very beginning of the drama
• 1:42:32
  where the like the male leader, anyone else is like, oh, why
• 1:42:36
  would God do this? Why would God allow this?
• 1:42:38
  Like there's no one, no mention. And then all of a sudden we have
• 1:42:40
  this like prayer that came a be. And this prayer is, I guess the
• 1:42:45
  when it comes to be. It is during that time where
• 1:42:48
  he's actually getting the chance to have this like little
• 1:42:50
  happiness. He's getting this little piece
• 1:42:53
  of a pie that he finds. Like I'm finally getting a piece
• 1:42:55
  of the pie, like I'm finally getting something.
• 1:42:57
  And he's living this little family life with his, you know,
• 1:43:01
  sister and his nephew and this woman who has come in like a
• 1:43:05
  mother figure for him. And he's enjoying that.
• 1:43:07
  And so that's when he takes the time to like, oh, wait a minute,
• 1:43:10
  I don't want to die. I don't want this to be my life.
• 1:43:13
  I want I don't want revenge. I don't care about that, but
• 1:43:16
  happy life have this woman and that's where that prayer comes
• 1:43:20
  from. But I just thought it was a
• 1:43:21
  little weird that it there a prayer showed up in the story,
• 1:43:24
  because that's what I'm and that's what I mean when I said
• 1:43:27
  in the beginning that they drew that in there.
• 1:43:29
  I think they threw got it to this kind of nihilistic view
• 1:43:33
  that the story is really presenting.
• 1:43:35
  But I think they could have set that up.
• 1:43:38
  We get a prayer from his mother for her son.
• 1:43:40
  Remember she like says and it's the same same shit.
• 1:43:44
  Yes. So it's like where is.
• 1:43:46
  These prayers coming from. When when did they become
• 1:43:48
  religious? No one goes to church.
• 1:43:49
  Like, yeah, this really kind of pessimistic, very depressing
• 1:43:53
  view of their lives at the time. And him grasping for straws, you
• 1:43:57
  know, grasping for hope. And I and I, yeah, it was, it
• 1:44:01
  was sad. I'm going to be honest.
• 1:44:02
  I thought it was really sad when he had to feel the need to, to
• 1:44:05
  sit out and sit down and kind of like, OK, now I'm going to throw
• 1:44:08
  up a prayer when I realized like, I actually want to live
• 1:44:11
  this, this little life that seems to be starting for me.
• 1:44:15
  It's a consolation. Yep, Yep.
• 1:44:17
  He's like, finally, can I have this like?
• 1:44:19
  Please. He's like I.
• 1:44:20
  Won't do the revenge stuff. Dude was like, you got caught in
• 1:44:23
  your own revenge story like this.
• 1:44:25
  Yeah, you didn't. You weren't good at it, you
• 1:44:27
  know, But I felt like that was also.
• 1:44:28
  Interesting. That he was praying like, I
• 1:44:30
  won't do this, that stuff anymore, God, if you just give
• 1:44:33
  me this. And it's like, well, he knows
• 1:44:34
  he's wrong. Yeah, he knows he's wrong.
• 1:44:36
  He knows he's wrong. He doesn't.
• 1:44:38
  Want to do it? He just wants his mom.
• 1:44:40
  And it turns into this revenge that, you know, he doesn't want
• 1:44:44
  to really be putting forth, but he's wrapped up in, you know,
• 1:44:48
  the second male lead drives his car off.
• 1:44:51
  A Cliff. I mean, it's the whole thing.
• 1:44:53
  He ends up in the hospital, he's got a heart condition and the
• 1:44:56
  female lead goes catatonic. I don't know.
• 1:45:00
  The sister ends up saying Unche. Hasn't eaten, hasn't slept.
• 1:45:05
  And is almost showing signs of autism.
• 1:45:07
  And I said I I had to. I was like this translation
• 1:45:11
  error like. That cannot be asked.
• 1:45:13
  Actually, it has to be. I literally saw that.
• 1:45:15
  I was like, no, this isn't what she really meant.
• 1:45:17
  I know that. I was just.
• 1:45:19
  It can't be, right. Yeah, I was autism.
• 1:45:22
  Yeah, we get the. Famous line though.
• 1:45:24
  In this episode, Let's eat, Let's eat something.
• 1:45:27
  She's yelling to stop the car and she's very upset.
• 1:45:31
  He says would you rather eat or kiss me?
• 1:45:33
  Would you rather eat or sleep with me?
• 1:45:36
  Would you rather eat or just live with me?
• 1:45:39
  Would you rather eat or would you rather die with me?
• 1:45:46
  There it all is guys. The.
• 1:45:50
  Infamous line. Yeah, that's the.
• 1:45:52
  Infamous. Line I mean.
• 1:45:53
  When he. Started.
• 1:45:54
  Saying it, I was like, yeah. That's right, I said to save it
• 1:45:58
  I. Forgot when that scene happened.
• 1:46:01
  I forgot when that line happened, but.
• 1:46:02
  When it came, I was like, this is it.
• 1:46:04
  I had a freak out moment. I was like, Oh my gosh, it felt.
• 1:46:07
  Like I was same. Yes, here it is when you get the
• 1:46:10
  die with me. I was like, yeah, I.
• 1:46:12
  Forgot she doesn't know he's dying.
• 1:46:14
  You know, she doesn't know he's dying, but then so I'm going to
• 1:46:18
  like. Skip to the to the next few
• 1:46:20
  episodes, which is basically he's actively dying.
• 1:46:23
  He goes to the hospital, they scan him and they they're like,
• 1:46:27
  yeah, you're actively. Dying you have maybe 3.
• 1:46:30
  Months left at most. That's maximum most.
• 1:46:32
  Yeah. I love the scene where he's in
• 1:46:35
  the hallway. And a dead body.
• 1:46:37
  Gurney passes, passes by, and he's staring down at that body
• 1:46:40
  passes and it the. The person who's dead hand hits
• 1:46:44
  his hand, Yeah, he's just touched by death, by death by
• 1:46:47
  itself. Touch my death itself itself.
• 1:46:51
  I was like. We don't get these like cheesy
• 1:46:53
  things. Anymore in cage.
• 1:46:53
  I like them, though, I'm not gonna lie.
• 1:46:56
  Not a lot. We're missing some of those I
• 1:46:59
  think we need more of. Those.
• 1:47:00
  These days actually, because I feel like some of the stuff is
• 1:47:03
  kind of just it's too old. It's like it's Sid more than
• 1:47:06
  it's like giving like these little, little, little moments
• 1:47:09
  that you show exactly because that's a moment someone would
• 1:47:11
  have came and said that, you know what I mean?
• 1:47:12
  Like exactly, you know what I mean?
• 1:47:14
  And so I missed those moments, but it was too touched by this
• 1:47:17
  show. Not not told.
• 1:47:18
  And the second male lead the brother.
• 1:47:21
  Is also dying. He's got a heart condition that
• 1:47:24
  was exasperated by the car accident.
• 1:47:27
  Yeah, he needs a heart transplant.
• 1:47:29
  And you're just like, oh, here we go.
• 1:47:30
  Because whose heart is going to become available?
• 1:47:34
  Whose the one who's? Dying.
• 1:47:39
  Yeah, and she is very wishy washy.
• 1:47:42
  Because. She doesn't like that.
• 1:47:45
  This, this whole thing was exasperated.
• 1:47:47
  Yin's condition was exasperated because she rejected him.
• 1:47:51
  Yeah, yeah, she doesn't like that.
• 1:47:53
  It leads up to this part. Where he tells the male lead
• 1:47:56
  told you so tells. Her I will save Yin, so don't
• 1:47:59
  cry. I can't stand watching you cry.
• 1:48:00
  You look as ugly as Shrek when you cry.
• 1:48:04
  That's 2000 and one 2001. Shrek is when.
• 1:48:07
  Shrek. Was released, he says.
• 1:48:10
  I'll give my heart to yin. OK, I'll give my heart to yin.
• 1:48:12
  So will you be with me? And she like, I think for like a
• 1:48:16
  whole entire episode, she is fucking pissed.
• 1:48:19
  She's I, she was livid. I've never seen her like that.
• 1:48:22
  I mean, she this entire time she was this very, like we said,
• 1:48:26
  motherly caring type of character, but for him, she
• 1:48:30
  completely shut it shut off. She was like, I don't want
• 1:48:33
  anything else to do with you, leave me alone.
• 1:48:36
  This is where we get the milk thrown, you know, like she was
• 1:48:39
  over it. And then she thought he was
• 1:48:40
  mocking. Yes, the situation because she
• 1:48:43
  thought being like, joking, joking because she's like, he's
• 1:48:44
  like, I literally will be dying. I have a heart to give to you,
• 1:48:48
  He said. I had three months to listen.
• 1:48:49
  She was like, yeah, OK, fine. Yeah, she didn't.
• 1:48:52
  Believe anything at all he said at all.
• 1:48:54
  And it was so frustrating. And that's what you were saying?
• 1:48:56
  Earlier you were like, why? In dramas where they they're
• 1:48:59
  literally telling people stuff and the people are still like,
• 1:49:02
  I'm not going to listen or I'm not, I'm not going to say
• 1:49:04
  anything. It's like guy just told you he's
• 1:49:07
  dying in three months to live and you're still like, how dare
• 1:49:11
  you mock death? Like he's not mocking death.
• 1:49:13
  He's he's dying like you're going to.
• 1:49:16
  Die. Get.
• 1:49:16
  Together so. There is a weird scene where he
• 1:49:20
  kisses her suddenly he's like, overcome and kisses her.
• 1:49:24
  And she's like, oh, is that what you wanted this entire time?
• 1:49:26
  And they go to a motel. Yeah.
• 1:49:28
  This is what I have to do for you, for you to give your heart
• 1:49:30
  to you. And Oh well.
• 1:49:32
  I'll do whatever for him. She's like UPS but and he's just
• 1:49:35
  like. Bye and bye.
• 1:49:38
  Never mind. Yeah, because the problem is she
• 1:49:40
  keeps making it seem like. Well, at least to him.
• 1:49:43
  Like, oh, I love you so much. I would do anything for him.
• 1:49:46
  She kept saying that over Yeah. And like was like rubbing it in
• 1:49:49
  his face and he's. Literally offering.
• 1:49:51
  His heart for this man and we're yeah, he was serious.
• 1:49:54
  He was said serious. Yeah.
• 1:49:56
  She wasn't buying it anyway. So fast forwarding, the mom gets
• 1:50:01
  wind. Through Teyun because Teyun
• 1:50:03
  steals the X-rays out of the house and that he finds out
• 1:50:07
  through the female leads dad, dad to go to the doctor, wears
• 1:50:11
  hippo, wears privacy out the window.
• 1:50:13
  Same thing with with it Somerset.
• 1:50:15
  I was like, yes, Somerset, same thing, same.
• 1:50:17
  Thing like you're just giving people their records.
• 1:50:19
  Medical records. No, no, it's, it's heinous.
• 1:50:22
  Heinous. So everybody.
• 1:50:23
  Finds out, except for her, that he is dying.
• 1:50:26
  Actually dying, actually dying with the bullet in his head.
• 1:50:29
  He has a healthy heart, healthy heart.
• 1:50:31
  The mom takes upon herself to try and ingratiate herself with
• 1:50:34
  the family, buy gifts, send money, send through and all
• 1:50:39
  kinds of medicine, all kind of herbal tea.
• 1:50:43
  Good for the heart. Yes, the moment.
• 1:50:46
  When he realizes that she's trying to buy the heart, the
• 1:50:52
  heart is such a gut wrenching moment.
• 1:50:55
  It's disgusting. It's disgusting behavior and she
• 1:50:58
  knows it's. Disgusting.
• 1:50:59
  She starts off by that. She talked.
• 1:51:01
  When she's talking to her OPA, yeah.
• 1:51:03
  She's talking to her OPA. She's like, I don't care if you
• 1:51:05
  judge me. I don't care what you think
• 1:51:07
  about me. I will pay for my sins when I
• 1:51:10
  pay for them. But you know what?
• 1:51:12
  I have to do what I want. I need to do for like I know
• 1:51:15
  that parents will do everything, anything for their.
• 1:51:18
  Sons. Anything for their children and
• 1:51:21
  they lose who's all sense of right and wrong.
• 1:51:23
  And she knew she was dead wrong for all of us.
• 1:51:27
  All of this later on when he goes to confront her and says,
• 1:51:30
  oh, I signed up to be an organ donor and I'm gonna give my
• 1:51:33
  heart to him. He says, oh, we're using all the
• 1:51:35
  things that you gave us. Yeah, we're enjoying, you know,
• 1:51:38
  we're enjoying the clothes and we're enjoying the.
• 1:51:40
  Food and thank you so much and it.
• 1:51:42
  Breaks her down, she hates it. She's like I, she gets defensive
• 1:51:45
  and she's like, oh wait, you don't.
• 1:51:46
  Have to do this. Like, she almost goes into like,
• 1:51:48
  oh, wait, really? Why would you don't?
• 1:51:51
  Don't. I wasn't trying to do that.
• 1:51:52
  Yeah. She was like, I promised I
• 1:51:54
  would. That's not what it sounded like.
• 1:51:55
  You know that's not what it looks.
• 1:51:56
  Like but it was and he totally convicts her in that moment.
• 1:52:01
  You know? Soji sub showing up and being
• 1:52:04
  like, well, here you got what you wanted.
• 1:52:06
  And I also thought it was interesting that and again the
• 1:52:08
  play that the second-half of this.
• 1:52:10
  Drama since the prayer started going with like, the religious
• 1:52:13
  kind of connotations and kind of Christian moments.
• 1:52:16
  She's like, I'm going to hell yes.
• 1:52:18
  Yeah. Like that kept coming up, you
• 1:52:19
  know, like. These moments and with even.
• 1:52:21
  With his character Kim being like hey, I'm gonna, I'm trying
• 1:52:25
  to do 1 good thing before I die. Like because just in case you
• 1:52:28
  know, like I could, you know, like I can go to heaven.
• 1:52:30
  So I go to heaven. Like maybe if I do this one
• 1:52:32
  thing? I won't go to hell and I can't
• 1:52:34
  I. Think he actually says that he
• 1:52:36
  he says that a few times yeah. So I thought that was
• 1:52:38
  interesting that that kept coming up towards the end after
• 1:52:40
  the prayer, the episode 8 prayer yeah.
• 1:52:43
  They play red light green light a couple of times in the
• 1:52:46
  tenement house and. I thought that was nice to see
• 1:52:48
  in the wild because Squid Game has like taken it to home.
• 1:52:50
  It was completely recontextualized now and I'm
• 1:52:52
  like no like this. Is this is how you?
• 1:52:54
  Yeah, this. Is actually how you play it?
• 1:52:56
  Yeah, it was. Really.
• 1:52:57
  Cute, yeah. The fucking.
• 1:52:59
  Dad. The fucking dad.
• 1:53:01
  So she finally finds. Out that he's.
• 1:53:04
  Dying, that Mujiok is dying and she's going to go back to Teyoun
• 1:53:09
  and tell him it's over. Like I'm not going to come and
• 1:53:12
  see you. I'm not going to be at your back
• 1:53:13
  and call. I'm going to be with Mujiok with
• 1:53:14
  whatever time he has left and please let me go.
• 1:53:18
  And you know, I've been so cruel to Mujiok and all this stuff.
• 1:53:21
  The male lead and the dad is like, you're not going anywhere.
• 1:53:24
  Manhandles her into the house. Locks her into the room.
• 1:53:28
  Locks her out, my God. Unhinged behavior and we don't
• 1:53:32
  see that anymore. Locking people no in their room.
• 1:53:35
  No, he's threatening divorce. He's threatening to.
• 1:53:39
  Disown the dog daughters. The other two sisters, if they
• 1:53:42
  open the door, he's off to find a new house for them.
• 1:53:45
  He's don't this is one of the sisters like I have a job in her
• 1:53:47
  job. I need to get in the room.
• 1:53:49
  He's like, you can't go to the job in the other sisters.
• 1:53:51
  Like do I have homework? Yeah, the other sisters like I
• 1:53:54
  have homework. I have to go to school.
• 1:53:55
  He's like, you're not going to go to school and like the mom's
• 1:53:58
  like she hasn't eaten all day. However we have to feed.
• 1:54:01
  She's gonna die. No, she can't eat nothing.
• 1:54:04
  She's gonna. She had just like.
• 1:54:06
  Fallen down the stairs at so she.
• 1:54:08
  She had like scrapes. All over her blood.
• 1:54:11
  They're like she's all. Hurt.
• 1:54:12
  We need to tend to her room. She's like, he's like nobody's
• 1:54:14
  tending to her room, nobody's going inside.
• 1:54:17
  What if she has to use the bathroom?
• 1:54:18
  She. Can't use the bathroom it was.
• 1:54:20
  Unbelievable because she was going to see me hook like that
• 1:54:25
  was literally. The only reason he locked her
• 1:54:27
  up. The only reason.
• 1:54:28
  And I wonder why you're so up in arms about him.
• 1:54:31
  Because you have been lying tired and you haven't been
• 1:54:36
  helping the 'cause when this. Man.
• 1:54:38
  Has been. Reunited with his mother and you
• 1:54:39
  could have been like, hey, this is your actual son that I sent
• 1:54:42
  was dead all those years ago. Like why couldn't you have done
• 1:54:46
  that? He's just so problematic.
• 1:54:47
  Like I hate that dad. I hate that dad.
• 1:54:49
  I hate. That I hate it.
• 1:54:50
  I mean, I do love the moment in episode 13.
• 1:54:53
  When they do. Meet up finally because she gets
• 1:54:55
  let out and he was waiting for her in the rain and she's like,
• 1:54:58
  she's going to get sick. She was like, I have to go out
• 1:55:01
  there. I have to go.
• 1:55:02
  Yeah, he's outside. He's on death's door.
• 1:55:04
  He. Can't be out in the rain
• 1:55:05
  anymore. Sickness.
• 1:55:06
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they go to a motel and she
• 1:55:08
  kind of like. Washes his clothes again.
• 1:55:10
  Very motherly thing to do. She's doing his laundry and he
• 1:55:15
  is very gentle with her as he applies.
• 1:55:17
  Again, just like the second male subject I did earlier, those are
• 1:55:21
  her sons. Those are her sons that also
• 1:55:24
  take care of her at. Times, it sounds like when she
• 1:55:26
  gets scraped on her face. Yeah, they kiss.
• 1:55:29
  They've kissed, like several times by now, but.
• 1:55:31
  He's like wrapped in a quilt with no shirt on.
• 1:55:34
  I was like, if I have if I have an early aughts type, it's that
• 1:55:39
  it's Cindy. So wrapped in a quilt, Yeah.
• 1:55:43
  I was like, oh. He looked too fine.
• 1:55:45
  He looked too fine. Because they ditched.
• 1:55:47
  The hat in like the last few episodes they did, yeah, which
• 1:55:49
  was great. Which we needed this.
• 1:55:51
  Great. This was great.
• 1:55:52
  When they got exactly how much the mustache I'm I'm like, you
• 1:55:57
  know, I'm not a fact. Oh my God.
• 1:56:01
  But anyway, so I'm gonna. Speed round through the.
• 1:56:03
  Last few episodes. Because we find out, Cheyenne
• 1:56:06
  finds out. He gets mad about everything,
• 1:56:09
  all of the truth that comes out. He drops one last truth bomb,
• 1:56:14
  which is he's adopted. He's the one that's adopted.
• 1:56:18
  He's adopted his their mother that they're fighting over to
• 1:56:23
  some extent isn't his real mother.
• 1:56:26
  No, he was adopted by. She's been acting a fool over
• 1:56:30
  this man who's. Not her biological child.
• 1:56:33
  Biological child I was laying in bed with is not.
• 1:56:37
  Giving sponge baths to at his big.
• 1:56:39
  Age that. Is not her biological, not her
• 1:56:42
  child? Interesting.
• 1:56:44
  You don't say you don't. It was.
• 1:56:45
  The biggest shock it was. The So there's lots of birth
• 1:56:47
  secrets in here and. That's the biggest one.
• 1:56:49
  That's the biggest one. That is the biggest one.
• 1:56:52
  And that scene, though, like I said, that was I mentioned at
• 1:56:55
  the beginning when I said I loved to host performance in
• 1:56:59
  that scene when he's like it threw tears, like kind of
• 1:57:01
  detailing this. But then he also says for him,
• 1:57:04
  that's what makes him realize their mom, You know, our mom
• 1:57:08
  here isn't a villain. He's like for her to love me
• 1:57:11
  like this and give want to give up her life for basically like
• 1:57:15
  to this person that isn't her blood, you know, like to me,
• 1:57:18
  that makes her someone who actually cares about people.
• 1:57:22
  So I want to tell her that your her her son because I feel like
• 1:57:25
  she would embrace you like she would love you.
• 1:57:28
  He would love you if she loved me and I wasn't even her.
• 1:57:31
  Son, you know, like it's. Powerful.
• 1:57:33
  It was beautiful. It was the me.
• 1:57:35
  Maybe my favorite. Scene out of the whole thing
• 1:57:36
  like. That was my favorite moment.
• 1:57:38
  And then you have, you know, so just up character sitting there
• 1:57:40
  in shock. There's like, what did you say?
• 1:57:43
  He's like, look at him. What did he come again?
• 1:57:46
  What did you say? It was a great, great scene.
• 1:57:49
  But I actually detailed something when I was, I wrote
• 1:57:52
  this out and I wrote out the part that I loved about it was
• 1:57:55
  that, you know, there, this is the reveal of like them both
• 1:57:58
  having been adopted. And then it was like 1 in Korea,
• 1:58:01
  obviously, and then one overseas.
• 1:58:03
  And then the beautiful part is that they are sitting and
• 1:58:06
  drinking soju, but not soju, but not because they both are,
• 1:58:10
  they're both very sick. Obviously.
• 1:58:12
  They're both at death store technically.
• 1:58:13
  And so he has poured out soju sub has poured about the
• 1:58:16
  alcohol, the soju and replaced it with water.
• 1:58:18
  And he's like, let's just drink this.
• 1:58:20
  Like we are drinking soju. And they're sitting in, you
• 1:58:23
  know, his little rundown house with his, his family.
• 1:58:27
  And they're sitting against the wall with these children,
• 1:58:30
  elementary school kind of posters behind them.
• 1:58:33
  And so all of it, I was like, this is just giving 2 little
• 1:58:35
  boys, right? Like they are basically not able
• 1:58:38
  to drink alcohol. So they're portrayed as being
• 1:58:40
  young because they can't do that.
• 1:58:41
  And then they're sitting against these elementary school posters.
• 1:58:44
  And I just felt like my heart was breaking for them.
• 1:58:47
  I really felt that I was like, this is that moment when I was
• 1:58:50
  like, OK, I was picking on them the whole time about them being
• 1:58:53
  so immature and so like, little baby birds.
• 1:58:56
  And they're just like, oh, my gosh, here they go whining like
• 1:58:59
  immature little boys. But then it was the realization,
• 1:59:02
  oh, they're little boys. Like, you know, like, yeah, they
• 1:59:06
  are. Like, it was actually really sad
• 1:59:08
  for for me at that point. So yeah, one of my favorite
• 1:59:11
  scenes, hands down, by far. The mom makes him ramen because
• 1:59:15
  he begs her. To make it.
• 1:59:17
  I was distraught. I was distraught.
• 1:59:19
  That's like seriously upsetting. Like it's so.
• 1:59:21
  Getting more and more upsetting. Yeah, as you go on, it gets more
• 1:59:25
  and more upsetting. You do.
• 1:59:26
  Get that scene A. Little earlier because we're
• 1:59:27
  kind of past it now, but she writes.
• 1:59:30
  I'm sorry, I love you. Love you on the bathroom mirror.
• 1:59:33
  Yeah. And The thing is.
• 1:59:35
  I thought was cool. About the title, I'm sorry, I
• 1:59:39
  love you. It was like that moment at the
• 1:59:41
  end where she's like screaming I love you, I love you, I love
• 1:59:43
  you. She just keeps sitting.
• 1:59:45
  You can't help herself. I love you, I love you, I love
• 1:59:48
  you. And then I.
• 1:59:49
  Realized like that's also the title of the drama because she's
• 1:59:53
  like, I'm sorry, I love you because it's it makes it hard
• 1:59:56
  for you and I'm sorry, I love you because it makes it hard for
• 1:59:59
  me. Exactly.
• 2:00:00
  They were so beautiful, but they never, she never says it to that
• 2:00:02
  extent. To him.
• 2:00:03
  I'm sorry I love you, but she just is saying I love you in a
• 2:00:06
  way that sounds like, Dang it, I'm sorry that I love you.
• 2:00:09
  You know, like that's how she was saying it.
• 2:00:10
  Yeah. It was so good.
• 2:00:12
  He calls her and says Blockhead, I'm sorry, I love you.
• 2:00:15
  I love you. It was fine and he repeats it
• 2:00:17
  back to her because it's after she had.
• 2:00:19
  Written up on the bathroom mirror.
• 2:00:20
  So you know that or she knows that he saw it.
• 2:00:24
  Yeah, he does love her because that he didn't when she was
• 2:00:26
  screaming I love you, I love you.
• 2:00:27
  He was. Non response, like non
• 2:00:29
  responsive. He didn't say anything but then
• 2:00:31
  also when he says I was like up he's getting ready to die, you
• 2:00:33
  know, OK, he's almost over. I was like it's coming.
• 2:00:36
  So I. Vividly remember this.
• 2:00:38
  The final scene with. Him which is.
• 2:00:40
  Him on the motorcycle. Where did he get a mole?
• 2:00:43
  Where did he get a mole? Someone.
• 2:00:45
  Please tell me where did he get a motorcycle?
• 2:00:48
  Where did? This come from and then you see
• 2:00:50
  his nose. Bleeding.
• 2:00:52
  Profusely ripping with blood. He's got the headband on again
• 2:00:58
  like he did in Australia, Australia.
• 2:01:00
  And it's almost like a a cross world Collider.
• 2:01:03
  Yeah, because he's. Got the look that he had in
• 2:01:06
  Australia, but then he's in Korea.
• 2:01:08
  Yeah, on a motorcycle. On a motorcycle.
• 2:01:10
  God knows why do where he. Got it from Yeah.
• 2:01:13
  Why? I don't know.
• 2:01:14
  And. You assume that he crashed out.
• 2:01:17
  Because he was literally loose. I mean, he was dying
• 2:01:20
  unconscious. He was literally.
• 2:01:21
  Dying on the motorcycle, Yeah, and speeding.
• 2:01:23
  So we can only imagine what happened.
• 2:01:25
  But we don't get to see the actual blue.
• 2:01:27
  No, we don't see that carnage. It's fades to white one year
• 2:01:30
  later time. Jump one year.
• 2:01:32
  One year later, obviously, Cheyen got the.
• 2:01:35
  Heart, he's doing. Well, he's on television, we
• 2:01:39
  hear that shit story from the reporter and obviously his twin
• 2:01:44
  sister and the nephew are doing well.
• 2:01:46
  He left them a bunch of money in accounts that are in their name.
• 2:01:49
  And she is in Australia doing an epic rerun of their romp from
• 2:01:56
  when they first met. Yeah, when they first met in
• 2:01:58
  Australia. Yeah, she's hitting.
• 2:01:59
  All the highlights, all the highlights and we're getting the
• 2:02:01
  montages, the. Montage and you're just like, Oh
• 2:02:04
  my God, it's so emotional. Oh, when he dropped me off and
• 2:02:07
  he sold me off at the gentlemen's club.
• 2:02:09
  Oh, when he sold. Me in human trafficking ring and
• 2:02:14
  oh God. No.
• 2:02:15
  Come on girl, Anyway, so. She goes to his grave and the
• 2:02:20
  great it says I'm sorry, I love you.
• 2:02:22
  It says I'm sorry. I love you, cha moo hook.
• 2:02:26
  Literally. I couldn't contain my laughter.
• 2:02:29
  I had to pause because I was laughing.
• 2:02:31
  So hard and then get this. I had forgotten the last two
• 2:02:36
  minutes of the show. Oh yeah, same.
• 2:02:38
  Oh, same. Oh, so how did?
• 2:02:40
  How did you? Find this so so.

• 2:02:46
  laugh, to laugh, right to laugh. I was to be inspecting to be
• 2:02:50
  honest. I was in my head, I was

• 2:02:54
  Like, how did they? How did they feel like I was, I
• 2:02:57
  was, I was looking at that. Focus on that too much.
• 2:02:59
  And. Then when you get the voice over
• 2:03:02
  and I start reading, because I'm already inspecting, I'm looking
• 2:03:05
  at stuff on the screen and I see the subtitles come up and
• 2:03:08
  they're like, Korean woman found dead my grave site.
• 2:03:13
  I was like, what's like the real woman dead by grave?
• 2:03:17

• 2:03:49
  final two minutes show, then credits roll and you're just.

  Like, they're talking about her. Like, we're just waiting for her
• 2:04:19
  to show up. And then they flash to heart,
• 2:04:22
  laying in Australia at a grave site, dead.
• 2:04:26
  They what? What they're what her?
• 2:04:29
  Sisters are. Also like oh I.
• 2:04:31
  Don't know where she. Is it your sister's died?
• 2:04:34
  Your sister's dead? I have crazy we.
• 2:04:37
  Have crazy? Guys, I'm I'm in shocks too.
• 2:04:39
  Because it is. It is telegraphed throughout the
• 2:04:43
  show. There's clues to lead you here.
• 2:04:46
  And still I forgot. And I forgot I forgot.
• 2:04:50
  I thought I. Just was picturing.
• 2:04:51
  Him, his motorcycle death. Correct.
• 2:04:53
  That's all I can really remember.
• 2:04:55
  Same. This ending of her laying on his
• 2:04:57
  gravesite and her poisoning herself.
• 2:04:59
  Like Juliet was like, Oh my gosh, really?
• 2:05:03
  Guys? Like they talk about.
• 2:05:04
  Yeah, like, really, we did not need.
• 2:05:07
  And she has a little voice over. It's like, he was so lonely.
• 2:05:10
  And during this life, I don't want him to be lonely even in
• 2:05:12
  death. So I'm.
• 2:05:13
  I'm basically following him out. Like that's what she says.
• 2:05:16
  Like I'll see myself out. I'll see myself out with him
• 2:05:19
  like and mind you, these and the the thing.
• 2:05:23
  That always gets me with these early 2000.
• 2:05:25
  K dramas, it's like these people are like 25 years old because
• 2:05:29
  they're literally they're frontal lobe has nothing they
• 2:05:31
  haven't. They're 242325 like they are.
• 2:05:35
  Killing these folks off like young I, I hate it.
• 2:05:39
  I hated it. I'm like, that's so sad.
• 2:05:42
  Like this girl? Had all her life to live and she
• 2:05:44
  even says that like. I'm finally get choosing
• 2:05:46
  something for myself. I'm finally choosing to live for
• 2:05:48
  myself, and that's to die. Like wait what?
• 2:05:50
  You're living for yourself for the first time and it's to
• 2:05:53
  choose. It's crazy to me that the mom
• 2:05:55
  never finds out I. Hated it.
• 2:05:57
  The mom never finds out that she had her children.
• 2:06:01
  Actually they did not die. She thought she would have to be
• 2:06:04
  1 kid. I wanted to tell all to be
• 2:06:06
  really. Here's the thing.
• 2:06:07
  Here's the thing. If you were having twin.
• 2:06:08
  Babies, how do you? Know How do you not know?
• 2:06:11
  How do you don't? How do you not know you have
• 2:06:13
  twins? How do you not?
• 2:06:14
  Know that you're having twins. She didn't know.
• 2:06:16
  She didn't she. Carried them to term.
• 2:06:18
  She didn't know, she didn't. Know she did.
• 2:06:21
  So number. One she thought she was having
• 2:06:23
  one child. One child, she thought it.
• 2:06:25
  Was a son and it was a son. Again, how do you just wild?
• 2:06:30
  How did they never tell her your children actually lived?
• 2:06:34
  It was twins, twins and here is your biological daughter and.
• 2:06:39
  Here is. Your biological nephew?
• 2:06:41
  Never. That is another kind of cruelty
• 2:06:44
  that they did not. Go.
• 2:06:46
  Into and I think that was another reason was like the way
• 2:06:49
  they treated the mother. Character And it's like that was
• 2:06:52
  because it was not for her. It was hurtful for her to never
• 2:06:54
  have that. And to never know that.
• 2:06:56
  I don't care that she got her the son that she adopted.
• 2:07:00
  He got to live. I don't care, okay, I don't
• 2:07:02
  care. I want I want her to also know
• 2:07:05
  about her other two children. Yeah, what's so wrong about
• 2:07:08
  that? Like, even if they're both, I
• 2:07:09
  wanted a. Beautiful moment and the.
• 2:07:11
  Fact that she mourned them. She mourned her son.
• 2:07:14
  Yeah, she brought up the son that she lost.
• 2:07:17
  Exactly. Why couldn't you just hey.
• 2:07:21
  Good news, kids. Yeah.
• 2:07:23
  Some other kids, guys, yeah, she said.
• 2:07:25
  This because one of her big things she kept saying that was
• 2:07:27
  hurtful for Moohook was that when she would say like, this is
• 2:07:30
  my only living air, like, yeah, all I have, like, if he dies, I
• 2:07:34
  might as well die too, right? Well, actually you have.
• 2:07:37
  Other family you have other kids like you have blood walking this
• 2:07:41
  earth he's not even your blood you know so it's annoying yeah
• 2:07:45
  not to belittle like a people that are adopted adopted but in
• 2:07:48
  the. Context of the show tell her she
• 2:07:51
  has she has children children she does yeah, 'cause and that's
• 2:07:54
  but I do I always do like. With the heart stuff, 'cause
• 2:07:57
  this is also give it early 2000, like the fact that he got her
• 2:08:00
  son's heart Oh yeah, she actually exactly.
• 2:08:03
  She has her son. You know, I did like that.
• 2:08:05
  I'm I'm a sucker for that. You could tell that's why I like
• 2:08:08
  early kids. Also the female leads Dad got
• 2:08:11
  the punishment, the punishment he.
• 2:08:14
  Said he was like, I'm willing to accept any punishment.
• 2:08:16
  Yeah, his. Daughter.
• 2:08:16
  Daughter instead of dying. Yeah, your daughter dead.
• 2:08:18
  She ends up dying, lost her daughter.
• 2:08:20
  So there's that. Yeah, but but that's it.
• 2:08:24
  That's we're at the end of it. That was that.
• 2:08:26
  That was it. OK, Lola, any other thoughts?
• 2:08:30
  Before we get out of here. Been here a minute.
• 2:08:33
  I know you always keep me. You always.
• 2:08:35
  I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
• 2:08:37
  No, but I, I, yeah, I think talking.
• 2:08:39
  Through it again. Like again.
• 2:08:41
  I find so much that I appreciate about this drama and I'm glad I
• 2:08:45
  got to rewatch it to experience some of those big memorable, you
• 2:08:48
  know, memeable moments because I feel like they still make memes
• 2:08:52
  about them to this day in Korea, still make jokes about those
• 2:08:54
  moments. So experiencing it again after
• 2:08:56
  all these years was really nice. So I'm so glad I got to watch it
• 2:09:00
  again. But I definitely, it was like,
• 2:09:02
  it's still not my favorite story by far.
• 2:09:05
  Wouldn't go out of my way to really recommend it.
• 2:09:08
  If you No, that's not unless you wanna cry.
• 2:09:11
  Unless you want the melodrama. Unless you want the over the
• 2:09:14
  top, then it's perfect and there's some moments you will
• 2:09:18
  laugh and there's some moments that you.
• 2:09:19
  Shouldn't be laughing, but you will laugh.
• 2:09:21
  You will laugh, but I think and even.
• 2:09:24
  How they did. The comparison with the adoption
• 2:09:27
  in Korea versus adoption of someone who went, you know,
• 2:09:30
  overseas as in Australia. So I thought that was also
• 2:09:33
  interesting to show that comparison as well.
• 2:09:35
  So yeah, it was a experience. It was 100%.
• 2:09:40
  I'm like overheated Lola. I know you always get overheated
• 2:09:43
  when I started yelling at the end.
• 2:09:45
