  All right, so I'm going to go ahead and preface this by saying
• 2:10
  I live in Florida. It is currently summer in
• 2:13
  Florida and there is a summer storm happening outside.
• 2:16
  It's a thunderstorm. So if you hear some noise in the
• 2:19
  background I'm sorry. So that's just Florida.
• 2:23
  I can't change the weather right back.
• 2:26
  So for Full House my gosh, It changed the weather.
• 2:31
  No, I can not currently no funny enough.
• 2:36
  I just watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs the other
• 2:40
  day for the first time ever that animated movie and I was like,
• 2:44
  wow. So anyway talking about changing
• 2:46
  the weather. So my drama listen Ops is for
• 2:50
  Full House hunting in an aspiring script.
• 2:53
  Script writer lives in a house called Full House built by her
• 2:56
  late father. One day her two best friends
• 2:59
  trick her into Believing. She has won a free vacation and
• 3:02
  sell her house. While she's away on the plane,
• 3:05
  she meets famous actor. EV en J through comedic events,
• 3:09
  they get acquainted during her vacation.
• 3:11
  And when she returns, she discovers that her house was has
• 3:14
  been sold to him though. They don't get along with each
• 3:18
  other because of her messy Tendencies, and his bad temper
• 3:21
  and zealous cleanliness. They agree to live with each
• 3:24
  other. In the beginning, Gian works as
• 3:26
  his made, in order to buy her house back, they alter their
• 3:29
  Moment when youngjae decides to win back the love of his life.
• 3:33
  Kang hee won in a bid to make her one.
• 3:35
  Jealous. The two protagonists enter into
• 3:37
  a contract marriage with a six-month term complications
• 3:42
  arise when the couple starts to fall for each other.
• 3:46
  Yes. Oh we're gonna get into it.
• 3:50
  This aired originally from July to September 2004, it is a
• 3:54
  summer show and good for us. I have like 90-something degree
• 3:59
  weather happening. Outside.
• 4:00
  So we're in the peak of Summer. Y'all in Florida 2004.
• 4:07
  I don't know if you if you care to say what you were doing in
• 4:10
  2004, but I'll just go ahead and set the scene and I'll out
• 4:13
  myself. I was 12 years old in 2004 and
• 4:20
  your babysitter we'll put it out, okay.
• 4:22
  Yeah. And to put it in perspective,
• 4:25
  Brad Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston at the time.
• 4:29
  This was the year that he met Angelina Jolie on the set of mr.
• 4:33
  And mrs. Smith, but they were still, he
• 4:35
  was still married to Jen. Mark Zuckerberg launched
• 4:39
  Facebook in 2004 from his Harvard dorm.
• 4:44
  It was not be Facebook. Metaverse that we have today.
• 4:48
  It was the Facebook. It was called the Facebook.
• 4:50
  Yes. Yes.
• 4:53
  Watch The Social Network. If you haven't already,
• 4:54
  excellent film the TV sitcom Friends, aired its season.
• 4:59
  In Finale this year. I'm I'm pretty shocked that that
• 5:05
  one. As a matter of fact, and here
• 5:06
  are some movies that came out in 2004, Kill Bill, Vol 2, Howl's
• 5:11
  Moving Castle. The Notebook, The Incredibles
• 5:16
  Mean Girls Spider-Man, 2, Shrek 2 50, First Dates and the third
• 5:23
  Harry Potter movie Prisoner of Azkaban.
• 5:27
  What was on the radio? Well I'll let you know.
• 5:30
  Mina, we have Yeah, the single by Usher featuring Lil Jon and
• 5:36
  Ludacris it won a bunch of Grammys and a billboard song of
• 5:41
  the year. Stop it.
• 5:43
  Stop it Mina. It's more like, oh okay, I
• 5:51
  didn't want to do. I didn't want to do that but I
• 5:53
  went ahead and just did it, I got it out of the way.
• 5:57
  Also the song, If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys was released.
• 6:02
  This year and won some Grammys, Coldplay's Clocks.
• 6:07
  The song Clocks was winning Grammys, and so was the band
• 6:12
  Evanescence. So, I mean, this was a Zealand
• 6:16
  time for music talk about Golden Era.
• 6:20
  But honestly, this is the climate, this is the time.
• 6:26
  Only three years removed from 9/11, this is when Full House
• 6:31
  was Least nobody had an iPhone. Nobody knew what an iPhone was.
• 6:36
  Okay this is the flip phone ERA. This is LimeWire downloading
• 6:43
  music era, just like Blockbuster Video, the store and like movie
• 6:48
  rental places. Yes, yeah.
• 6:51
  Netflix did not exist. I mean the list goes on and on
• 6:56
  so I just want to set the scene here when we're going back to
• 6:59
  0-4 like it's a serious thing. So the show Full House is only
• 7:05
  16 episodes long and the director is pure minsu.
• 7:09
  He's directed things like worlds within from 08 which also Stars
• 7:15
  so I'm like yo he directed heartstrings from 2011, which
• 7:19
  stars what's her name? Oh my God, we just had her In
• 7:24
  The Heirs, I forgot her name. I feel bad whatever.
• 7:29
  Susie no no heirs. And I feel terrible, but anyway
• 7:36
  it'll come to me later in the episode.
• 7:38
  So heartstrings Iris to the producers, the third charm,
• 7:42
  these are all his projects, it obviously was based on a web to
• 7:46
  on a cartoon. Once who Ian wrote the cartoon
• 7:49
  and Min Hyo, Jung wrote the screenplay mean he'll John
• 7:53
  really hasn't done. Done anything else besides Full
• 7:56
  House. The only two other writing
• 7:58
  credits to their name rules of love, from 2005 and Cat on the
• 8:02
  roof the year before Full House in 2003.
• 8:07
  So I'm just going to list off our two leads because Full House
• 8:11
  is led by song hye-kyo, she plays hon daeun, she was a grand
• 8:16
  total of 23 years old when she did Full House.
• 8:21
  And what do you think about song hye-kyo is?
• 8:24
  Like full house because we covered the glory.
• 8:28
  We've covered her in descendants of the sun, that's 2016 and 2020
• 8:32
  3ish respectively and honestly, she's done a bunch of other
• 8:38
  stuff and I we've discussed her and other episodes but what, how
• 8:41
  are you feeling about? So I'm gonna kill in this show.
• 8:45
  I it reminded me a lot of like this era in kdramas where there
• 8:50
  was a lot of and that's a, they're still not, but female
• 8:52
  protagonist who are Annoyingly endearing, or at least, that's
• 8:56
  what they want you to think. I kept thinking of Boys Over
• 8:57
  Flowers and John Dee, the character, John Dean, how truly
• 9:00
  annoying? She was how much I actually
• 9:02
  fully hated her, um, but I thought song hit you up in her
• 9:06
  portrayal, actually managed as Jian to be endearing.
• 9:10
  That was my opinion, at least that she was cute and endearing.
• 9:13
  Except she's also like clumsy and like, you know, Annoying
• 9:16
  dirty, all those things I agree. Completely.
• 9:19
  So I feel like song hye-kyo has the reputation Being a serious
• 9:26
  actress. Like, all of her characters are
• 9:28
  very stoic. Beautiful, elegant.
• 9:33
  And not very loose or bubbly or endearing, like, she is here in
• 9:40
  this role. And this is sort of where I
• 9:43
  first saw, her was in this show called Full House and granted.
• 9:46
  I didn't watch and I was 12 years old, I watched it like,
• 9:50
  2012 2013, it was one of the first Of years that I was
• 9:55
  watching kdramas, and I loved her in Full House.
• 9:58
  And this kind of informed, my opinion of her and her acting,
• 10:01
  is that she can kind of do it all.
• 10:05
  Rain or as I like to call him rain.
• 10:09
  So rain plays youngjae the Celeb in this show, he was only 22
• 10:17
  years old when he did the show he's gone on to do some other
• 10:22
  shows like a love to kill my lovely girl.
• 10:25
  Come back mr. Ghost doctor in 2022.
• 10:29
  He had a cameo and under the Queen's umbrella and I think
• 10:32
  he's got a Disney Plus show coming out.
• 10:34
  And next year, Wayne family Scandal is the name of it right
• 10:38
  now. What did you think of rain?
• 10:42
  It's a show. I mean, I think he was
• 10:45
  obviously, like, I don't know if the stunt casting is the word,
• 10:48
  but like, he's there to be kind of play rain, you know, because
• 10:51
  that was the peeker among the peak time of his popularity in
• 10:54
  Korea as an idol. So, he's playing, he's playing
• 10:57
  kind of the spoiled celebrity Idol guy who also acts and that
• 11:00
  kind of thing. So he was just playing trying to
• 11:02
  play himself. I don't think the acting was
• 11:04
  very great but you know, it was and he was so young so I don't.
• 11:10
  Know how much actor he done before that, but yeah, it was
• 11:13
  there. So he had played on her.
• 11:15
  He had been in only one other show before this song.
• 11:18
  Do, let's go to school from 2003.
• 11:21
  Where get this, he plays a gigolo who's a father of a
• 11:25
  seven-year-old, who's sick? And so, he's sort of living
• 11:29
  below the poverty line. Just so that he can pay the
• 11:31
  hospital bills for his seven-year-old.
• 11:33
  It's, I don't know. I don't know if anyone has seen
• 11:36
  the show, if you have seen range, you watch this?
• 11:38
  No, no. I've never seen this show, but
• 11:42
  if you have, please, please reach out and let me know your
• 11:45
  thoughts on it cuz I'm not. I'm really not about to fit in
• 11:49
  this 2003. Sang-doo.
• 11:50
  Let's go to school, show with rain and his very first acting
• 11:54
  cred, but it seems like a heavy-handed role to play.
• 11:58
  I'm curious how he was the dad of a seven-year-old at age like
• 12:01
  20. And well, he was plenty.
• 12:03
  I think the characters like 27 was supposed to be, 27 years
• 12:07
  old, so he had the kid when He was about 20.
• 12:12
  I anyway, that's like a totally different shows, but, you know,
• 12:15
  tangent, but rain as youngjae, I will say, I still love rain.
• 12:21
  I still love rain in this role. I still live Rana Z youngjae.
• 12:25
  There's something really boyish about his character and about
• 12:29
  his portrayal that really appeals.
• 12:31
  Even after 20 years like this show is about 19, 20 years old.
• 12:38
  And even no, it's not. Not the best acting whatsoever.
• 12:42
  I do feel like there's a vulnerability to the character
• 12:45
  that he brings out in certain parts and that was almost
• 12:49
  mesmerizing to see those parts where he's lets down his guard
• 12:52
  and be is is a little more vulnerable and open.
• 12:59
  They're yelling basically the whole show, both of them, but I
• 13:02
  thought for him to like, similar to Hung, oh gosh.
• 13:06
  Thank you, seonguk. I was like, what's her name?
• 13:09
  Yes. Like he portrayed a little bit
• 13:11
  of, like something that seemed more endearing as well.
• 13:13
  Surprisingly like it would kind of catch me off guard because
• 13:16
  I'm just as like this character so annoying.
• 13:18
  But then, when the script was trying to make it seem like he
• 13:20
  had these like you said vulnerabilities and was some
• 13:23
  kind of endearing like what? Because sometimes like, why does
• 13:25
  she like him or why did she ever you know?
• 13:28
  One interact with him. It sometimes it made sense.
• 13:30
  So, he definitely had moments. Hmm.
• 13:33
  What are your thoughts in? General, on the show?
• 13:37
  Did you like it? Did you hate it?
• 13:39
  Was it watchable after 20 years? Let me know.
• 13:44
  It's definitely dated. I think in that you're never
• 13:47
  like, oh, this is happening right now in real in
• 13:50
  present-day. Yeah, it's definitely.
• 13:53
  It's watchable and I love rain just separately.
• 13:56
  So I really liked, you know, Him and song, hye-kyo.
• 14:00
  So, like you said, a stoic actress, just like classic
• 14:04
  Beauty, and they made her really kind of goofy and cute.
• 14:06
  So, I think is really fun to watch.
• 14:08
  Now, did you have any trouble getting through the episodes at
• 14:13
  all? Yeah, it's he said only,
• 14:16
  however, many episodes was like, that's too many Chinese episode
• 14:21
  16 episodes is too many. Yeah, I would agree with that.
• 14:25
  Personally, I think if this show was made today It would be 12
• 14:28
  episodes 8 episodes Max. I don't think that it's It needs
• 14:36
  to be sorry, I don't know why that really got me that made me
• 14:41
  laugh. Okay, no, I think that it's not
• 14:46
  warranted. The 16 episode count, what I
• 14:49
  mean by it's only 16 episodes is that for me?
• 14:51
  I blasted through these episodes.
• 14:54
  It was very easy for me to re-watch the show and it felt
• 14:59
  like it was giving me the same high as I did.
• 15:02
  When I first watched it, the excitement that I felt Watching
• 15:05
  this show was really all-time high something that is very
• 15:10
  different from my experience, watching some of these other
• 15:13
  kdramas that I've returned to and watch for the podcast where
• 15:17
  it was really tough to get through airs.
• 15:19
  It was really tough to get through your beautiful, but for
• 15:21
  this one Easy Money, easy. Yeah.
• 15:25
  This one, I think held up better than those then I hers and I,
• 15:28
  yeah, I think it does hold up a little better than airs or even
• 15:32
  your beautiful. There's some Urkel quality about
• 15:36
  Full House and the tropes that employees, like the cohabitation
• 15:39
  Trope, and The Contract Marriage Trope.
• 15:42
  Are you kidding? Of course, these are still
• 15:44
  around. They're still, you know, people
• 15:47
  still love these tropes, so I don't feel like, if you come
• 15:51
  into this thinking, this is going to be wildly different.
• 15:53
  No, in fact, this is kind of where those Trends started,
• 15:57
  right was Full House. And this, cohabitation this
• 16:00
  couple, this contract marriage was like the blueprint for other
• 16:04
  kdramas to Hello. So I really think that it's
• 16:08
  foundational. It's important.
• 16:09
  It did extremely well in, in ratings.
• 16:14
  And in popularity, it was a huge export.
• 16:16
  People love this show. And I felt that even when I was
• 16:21
  first watching, it was like, this looks even though it's
• 16:24
  freaking dated, everybody looks really mid-2000s and of death in
• 16:30
  a shocking way in a shocking way.
• 16:32
  You're like, oh my God, the Fashion everything that the
• 16:36
  second female lead is wearing is some level of atrocious.
• 16:41
  I'm telling you, it is painfully 2004, but at the same time I
• 16:46
  feel like it's timeless. I will say, I cover the show a
• 16:52
  little bit winter Sonata and one of my podcast episodes which was
• 16:55
  considered the first drama to really start Hall you.
• 16:58
  And this one too is one of them, but that one was the plot was
• 17:03
  absurd, like absolutely absurd because he employed all these
• 17:05
  tropes of like Amnesia. And yeah, that and and I like it
• 17:09
  because, you know, course cohabitation.
• 17:11
  And it was kind of insufferable to watch for me now in present
• 17:14
  day, but Full House using those tropes and I was getting a
• 17:16
  little nervous. Actually, it was like, oh gosh,
• 17:18
  yeah. Barrage and living together, but
• 17:20
  it actually worked. It just worked.
• 17:22
  I think a much better. Yeah.
• 17:24
  Whether it's because it had some good source material with the
• 17:27
  cartoon. A lot of people have said that
• 17:30
  the show is better than the cartoon.
• 17:33
  I don't know how true that is, because I've never gotten my
• 17:35
  hands on the Full House cartoon, but I kind of feel like there's
• 17:40
  something to that statement because it is really watchable
• 17:45
  it is this couple is really fun. Yeah, you know, they're annoying
• 17:51
  to each other they're annoying sometimes to even watch but
• 17:55
  there's some magic. I don't know what they were
• 17:59
  eating on the site like I don't know what it is.
• 18:02
  You're rooting for them to your. Yeah it worked out.
• 18:05
  Yeah you hope it works out. You hope they make it, you hope
• 18:08
  they get over themselves, you hope that they forget the love
• 18:12
  of God communicate. So this is not rains first role
• 18:19
  and this is not something that kills for a stroll but it just
• 18:22
  did a lot for the tropes. It did a lot for both of them
• 18:25
  career-wise because it was so popular.
• 18:28
  What are some things that sort of made you think?
• 18:31
  Oh my God, this is 2004 because I don't yeah.
• 18:36
  Everything know the clothes the clothes and the hair, the side
• 18:40
  ponies, a little Brave. How dare you her like no I'm not
• 18:44
  saying it's a bad thing and The actually worked in retail during
• 18:48
  this time and one of my I'm really not fashionable at all.
• 18:52
  So I could relate to the character but my friend who is
• 18:55
  way more fashionable was like, You Gotta Wear Kelly Green, that
• 18:58
  is the color and I was like, what the hell is Kelly Green?
• 19:00
  I don't even know what it was and she's like, no, that's the
• 19:02
  popular color. And I had all this, like,
• 19:04
  American Apparel, kelly, green stuff and I watching this I was
• 19:08
  like in shock because she wears Kelly Green, like every other
• 19:11
  scene like she wears so much, Kelly Green does and also those
• 19:14
  weird little ruffle kind Dove ruffle skirt.
• 19:16
  Yes, Hank tops. The multi-layer tank top under
• 19:20
  the, I like everything was like really killing me.
• 19:22
  The like, Hangul kind of hats like newsies hat.
• 19:25
  Oh my God, the kitten heels, the kitten heels.
• 19:28
  Yes, she was rocking every look, that was in.
• 19:31
  So, yeah, is definitely the clothes.
• 19:34
  I was surprised at the outfits that they put on the second.
• 19:37
  Female lead had won her character because they were
• 19:41
  pretty risqué to me. Did you feel the same way?
• 19:46
  Yeah a lot of Skin showing I was kind of surprising like push-up
• 19:49
  bra to. Yeah like thing and I was like
• 19:51
  is this Allah same thing? I was like why do I feel like
• 19:59
  kdramas now and even in the last 10 years or so are extremely
• 20:04
  conservative when it comes to dressing their leads right?
• 20:08
  Right. Because this same thought right?
• 20:11
  Because she's out here with like exposed bra straps and like
• 20:15
  freely. The bra straps, but just out and
• 20:19
  showing her arms. I was, I saw cleavage and I was
• 20:21
  like, there is a lot I'm seeing, like, her the side of her
• 20:25
  stomach and stuff. I feel like I saw side boob, I
• 20:28
  was like, she's not dressing like terribly.
• 20:30
  It's just very Runway Fashion from 2004, and for some reason
• 20:38
  they don't afford that sort of risky look too.
• 20:45
  Yeah, leads nowadays or even second leads.
• 20:48
  Now, it has exact same observation and I don't know why
• 20:51
  that is either. Okay, just thing to think about.
• 20:53
  Yeah, super interesting to see that on screen, I think what
• 20:58
  makes it really shook me was the cinematography because there was
• 21:03
  no cinematography, everything was washed out hat that they
• 21:08
  never heard of white balance. It was just over exposed.
• 21:13
  Like literally all I can think of is Is just the color white
• 21:16
  when I think of Full House. And the way that it was shot,
• 21:22
  the landline that was in the house.
• 21:25
  That was sort of integral to the story.
• 21:28
  So many times was like, they're waiting for calls.
• 21:31
  They're waiting to, you know, out.
• 21:34
  I was like, oh, that was back. Then you're just sat around and
• 21:37
  waited for people, or you, sat in a restaurant, waited for
• 21:39
  someone to show up. Honestly hanok, you just sit
• 21:42
  there for hours, you were just deal with it.
• 21:45
  And they would Answer the phone and not know who was on the on
• 21:48
  the line, like, they were just like, hello as if they had no
• 21:52
  clue. Who was the cop?
• 21:53
  Caller ID wasn't a thing in 2004.
• 21:56
  It was but Iran had it. Exactly.
• 21:59
  That's what, that's what I mean is that they, the phone that
• 22:03
  they had, in the show, didn't have caller ID?
• 22:05
  No, so they were just like hello: no clues on the other
• 22:11
  line, the anyone, it could be anybody the Again, with the
• 22:16
  front door. Now, we have front door cameras.
• 22:18
  We don't just pop over to people's houses.
• 22:22
  No, I was appalled, it was appalling.
• 22:25
  It was rampant rampant in this show.
• 22:27
  They just egregious. They would anybody would just
• 22:31
  come over and they would open the door.
• 22:33
  Like hella get like they have no idea who's at the door.
• 22:38
  That was really throwing me this time to be alive and then I
• 22:45
  Confused also by a cut like blunders production blenders
• 22:50
  that were just kept in. Like what?
• 22:53
  Like, there's that one point. You see a light?
• 22:56
  Like a production light in a nighttime shot and I was like,
• 23:01
  yeah, is that the light that's lighting the scene?
• 23:04
  And then there was a shadow of the of the camera passing over.
• 23:09
  Like, I guess lighting, but stuff like that.
• 23:12
  The little icon or something. This is like a Wednesday
• 23:15
  Thursday. A drama or Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 23:16
  drama or whatever, except, like popping up.
• 23:18
  So it's like where they just like, on a time crunch because I
• 23:22
  mean, they just like, we don't time, I don't know that there
• 23:25
  was even a shot where you saw a production person in the
• 23:28
  background and I was like, you could tell was an error because
• 23:33
  it's a like mid shot of rain from like the chest up.
• 23:36
  And you can see the background there at the Full House and it's
• 23:40
  just wooded and they're supposed to be of it supposed to be a
• 23:43
  very secluded area. Eight no other houses around but
• 23:48
  there's this random dude in the background and then he like
• 23:50
  ducks out and I was like this is a mess in the best way possible.
• 23:57
  Because it's, it took, it takes nothing away from exactly.
• 24:05
  Also, why were there so many bugs in the frame?
• 24:08
  So many bugs. Why aren't we mentioned the
• 24:11
  words? I am really was like, oh, the
• 24:12
  bugs the bostic's? Yeah, I was so.
• 24:15
  Confused. Why there were so many bugs and
• 24:17
  like, not little bugs. I'm talking like a giant fly,
• 24:21
  moths that you see come up to the window and stuff because
• 24:26
  they're in a very secluded area that was.
• 24:30
  I was like I don't think I've ever seen a bug in a recent
• 24:33
  kdrama. I don't ya I don't know what.
• 24:38
  Yeah climate change who knows? It was it was a lot though.
• 24:40
  There's a lot. So, I know.
• 24:45
  So, the location of the House, the full house is a house built
• 24:50
  specially for the series. I want to pause for a second,
• 24:53
  and just mention that because I don't know if anyone hasn't seen
• 24:55
  this, but full has the name of the house.
• 24:57
  She lives in. Yes.
• 24:59
  Okay. It's like then it's just name of
• 25:00
  the house. We're not just weirdly.
• 25:02
  Calling it The Full House. No, no.
• 25:05
  I think I said in the my job the my drum.
• 25:07
  Listen Officer says it hon. Do you and inspires fear a
• 25:09
  script, writer lives in a house called Full House but built by
• 25:12
  her late father. So, when we say Full House, it
• 25:15
  could just use context clues, it's either the name of the show
• 25:19
  or were talking about the actual house.
• 25:21
  Okay? So full house is a house built
• 25:25
  specially for the series and it's located in Quang, Tri Area
• 25:29
  of Incheon near the airport and it's only a 10-minute boat ride
• 25:34
  from some Oak Harbor. I don't know if it's actually
• 25:36
  still there. I don't think it would be.
• 25:39
  I doubt it. It's been 20 years.
• 25:41
  I don't think this house that was Pacific Lee built for the
• 25:44
  production is still there. I would be really surprised if
• 25:46
  it was the house was made mostly of wood and cost about a hundred
• 25:50
  about a million dollars, u.s. dollars to build.
• 25:55
  So, glad you mentioned this because I was wondering, like,
• 25:57
  why are they on the beach and like, what body of water and as
• 25:59
  I had to get to Seoul so fast all the time, like they're going
• 26:01
  from there to like like Guam moon in like five seconds like
• 26:05
  all the time. And I'm like, how is this
• 26:06
  happening? And then he gives her a bike and
• 26:07
  I'm like okay man get ahead of myself but no, but there's this
• 26:10
  house. I agree with you because there
• 26:13
  Some, there's I think we're trained once we watch kdramas
• 26:18
  that waterways are far from the city except for the Han River.
• 26:22
  Yes, except for the hundred, you're right except for the Han
• 26:25
  River. Every other body of water is far
• 26:28
  away and this was by the end of the show, I was like, this is
• 26:31
  not the ocean. This can't be the ocean.
• 26:34
  This is a lake or something, but it has like, it kind of had a
• 26:38
  wave like a current, right? I was very confused.
• 26:41
  I was like, where are they? But The harbor so now I'm like
• 26:44
  okay it's something. Yeah.
• 26:46
  Yeah. So it's not it still seemed
• 26:48
  far-fetched for them to run back and forth between like downtown
• 26:51
  Seoul and Incheon so fast. Yes, I agree with you
• 26:54
  completely. What would you say?
• 26:59
  Your thoughts were on the OST? I liked it, I liked it that I've
• 27:09
  no complaints. I like the OST even to this day.
• 27:12
  I really love this the main song that ends every episode.
• 27:16
  I said, I just start clapping, like, I don't know, I get really
• 27:19
  excited. It was this show and something
• 27:22
  in the rain where I'm like, why are they why is like an English
• 27:24
  song playing so much? It was like, that's only thing
• 27:26
  that Drew me about it. There's language, I know there
• 27:30
  is something really strange and not the main OST, like there's
• 27:33
  like two main OST song. That they use throughout the
• 27:36
  show that are not in English, but there's other OST songs and
• 27:40
  just needle drops that. I don't know why they're in
• 27:45
  English and their bad covers of different.
• 27:48
  Yes. Like bad covers and honestly, it
• 27:52
  just enhanced experience to listen to some of these.
• 27:55
  Like there was a Dean Martin song or something, the girls
• 27:59
  kept playing 60s like the turtles.
• 28:02
  Like It's very, it makes you whirl around and just think what
• 28:14
  is going on, but it doesn't matter.
• 28:16
  It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
• 28:19
  This is not OST songs are good, like you said, yes.
• 28:23
  Yeah, yeah. The main OST songs are good and
• 28:26
  this is not a serious show. Like, let me get this out of the
• 28:29
  way. Like, this is not a serious
• 28:32
  show. This is criminally unserious,
• 28:34
  okay? Like This is the reasons why
• 28:37
  they get together are really bogus.
• 28:40
  Even I I never get to it but like her best friend selling her
• 28:44
  house bro. An idol.
• 28:45
  Yes it will. Okay, so this is part of the
• 28:50
  synopsis. I don't think this is
• 28:51
  necessarily a spoiler because it's just episode 1 basically.
• 28:56
  But if how do I put this if I don't I don't think I would be
• 29:02
  this gullible. But if my friends, my best
• 29:05
  friends since childhood, send me off to Shanghai and said, you
• 29:12
  have a free trip enjoy. You're going to have so much
• 29:15
  fun. We'll see you when you get back
• 29:16
  and when I I get stranded in Shanghai have to borrow money
• 29:22
  from some a-lister that I met in first class and pestered and
• 29:27
  lied to, to get out of Shanghai, back to Korea and I get back my
• 29:32
  house, that my father, Built deceased.
• 29:37
  Father, late father, right? Late father built.
• 29:40
  They sold it behind my back. I think there would be this
• 29:45
  would be a crime drama. Yeah.
• 29:47
  For this would not be a romance drama.
• 29:49
  That should be a great joke, comedic drama.
• 29:51
  I'd be like no. So those two friends would not
• 29:59
  be my friends anymore to say the least.
• 30:01
  I ringing my doorbell like, breaking into my house and all
• 30:04
  this other stuff. So I I'm, I don't want my blood
• 30:07
  pressure to go up and I because honestly, I don't know how she
• 30:13
  stayed for. Friends with them throughout the
• 30:14
  duration of the show. Yes, she kind of was, didn't put
• 30:18
  up with her bullshit for a few different scenarios that happen.
• 30:22
  But for the most part, she was on relatively good terms with
• 30:26
  them and they swindled her out of her house.
• 30:31
  That was her only think that she said this was the only thing I
• 30:33
  had. Yep, the whole that whole thing
• 30:37
  was your because it's like you've won a contest.
• 30:38
  What contest? I, yeah.
• 30:40
  That's you know, and she's like, okay, and she's like your shirts
• 30:43
  first. You're sure someone's gonna meet
• 30:44
  me there Port. They're like, yeah, it's fine.
• 30:46
  It's fine. Just go on ahead and like they
• 30:48
  totally played her and then she like was pissed at them but yet
• 30:52
  still was like in they were stealing each other's lives, and
• 30:55
  I just really couldn't wrap my head around that.
• 30:57
  I like there's, there's no way. You guys are installing
• 31:00
  identities and move because I would be after you, I would, you
• 31:04
  don't want to know what I would do to those two friends and
• 31:08
  what's sad is that like she basically had nobody else and I
• 31:11
  guess that's what this show is. Also trying to say is That she
• 31:14
  had no other family, no other friends, just those two friends,
• 31:17
  and then they screwed her over and ironic name full house
• 31:21
  because it was an empty house. Oh my God.
• 31:24
  You're right. That's a great point.
• 31:26
  Is that the house is called Full House that house had two people
• 31:29
  in it at Max Maxie. I'm Max staying in it.
• 31:35
  So like we said before Full House considered a pioneer of
• 31:38
  the rom-com genre for kdrama and the drama was a huge success and
• 31:42
  helped Propel the K-Wave. Korean wave, and it spawned a
• 31:46
  spin-off. See our season, to however, you
• 31:49
  want to look at it Full House, Take 2, which aired in 2012
• 31:53
  with. I can't remember.
• 31:55
  It's another set of like K drug, not kdrama K-Pop Stars.
• 32:04
  Okay, I can look it up really fast but then also Full House
• 32:08
  spawned a musical. Oh my God.
• 32:11
  Yeah so it's Stars, no min-woo Oh, I know this guy.
• 32:22
  I've seen this guy. Oh my God.
• 32:24
  He is in the Forbidden, marriage.
• 32:26
  That's the most recent thing. He's been in in a bunch of all
• 32:30
  their stuff. My girlfriend is a Gumiho pasta.
• 32:33
  Okay. Okay.
• 32:34
  If you look at a movie like, oh, I know him he apparently was a
• 32:37
  drummer for Rock Band. T-Rex tracks.
• 32:39
  I don't know, track probably tracks.
• 32:41
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 32:43
  He's got a pretty face so that's Full House.
• 32:45
  Take to start a him and some other folks.
• 32:49
  So and then Hong Jong. I'm she was in, she was in, she
• 32:52
  was pretty yes, a with Park Soldier.
• 32:55
  Yes, I know. Yeah, so that she was the female
• 32:58
  lead. One thing that I liked was this
• 33:02
  quote from, so I'm going to kill where she said in an interview
• 33:06
  in my previous work, I've only played very innocent prude
• 33:09
  characters who are careful about their behavior and words.
• 33:12
  However, this time hon Jian is a completely different character.
• 33:15
  She is so bubbly and Lively that I could say, she is a bit
• 33:18
  bizarre and freaky, thanks to this role.
• 33:20
  I've noticed that my personality to has become more bright and
• 33:23
  Lively. That's cool.
• 33:25
  Which is a nice. I don't, I don't know, it's
• 33:27
  really nice quote and again just puts in perspective.
• 33:32
  How song hye-kyo was choosing her projects back in the day 20
• 33:35
  years ago? And it's kind of crazy to see
• 33:38
  how she's narrowed in and been sort of Typecast whether it's by
• 33:42
  her design or just us. Those are the scriptures she
• 33:45
  gets or what have you. I don't know what this is.
• 33:47
  Like double down on like serious.
• 33:49
  Yeah people. Yeah it's really Pleasant to
• 33:54
  see. ER in Full House, right?
• 33:56
  I agree. Like there's something so nice
• 33:58
  about seeing something, like you just sort of being a bully her
• 34:01
  like she's giggling, she's goofy, she's loud, she's messy,
• 34:09
  all these things. It's just makes her character.
• 34:11
  Really likable, really likeable? So what would you give the show
• 34:18
  out of five Soldier bottles? I think I've honestly it would
• 34:23
  kind of rated High, even though Not like it's not like
• 34:26
  Shakespeare but it is. I'm like for you to I think it's
• 34:31
  so lovely and really washable so much fun.
• 34:36
  I mean honestly a lot of fun even though the plot is super
• 34:40
  repetitive not much is happening in the grand scheme of things,
• 34:44
  this was I feel like this was a genuinely cheap show to produce
• 34:49
  because they're in one location, just the house basically, and a
• 34:53
  couple other places. It's literally just them in the
• 34:55
  house and it's great. It's really, really because it's
• 35:02
  so character-driven. Yes, on the characters.
• 35:05
  Yeah, they're in. Jeju, and now they're in here.
• 35:07
  I mean in the beginning when they go to Shanghai, there's a
• 35:09
  little bit of that but then there's not like those episodes.
• 35:12
  Other shows were like they go to all these exotic places and now
• 35:15
  the whole yeah you know yeah it's not like Goblin or
• 35:19
  descendants of the Sun or Stars. You know.
• 35:22
  Some of these other shows that in 2016 See the stuff that was
• 35:25
  the trend was to just go out of the country and spend some money
• 35:29
  on taking the production overseas.
• 35:31
  That's not the case for Full House.
• 35:32
  They went to Shanghai. Well actually they didn't like
• 35:35
  the film in Thailand and some other places but yeah, they did
• 35:38
  but it wasn't as elaborately. Yes.
• 35:41
  Integral to the story. Ryan what they were doing?
• 35:44
  Yeah. As it is in other shows, right?
• 35:45
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 35:47
  It's just them, just going, stir crazy in the house and fighting
• 35:52
  and yelling, and Getting misunderstood and not
• 35:57
  communicating and just it's very childish and maybe that's what I
• 36:01
  like is that I'm getting the high of maybe a high school show
• 36:06
  without the high school. It's like, it's like a WB show
• 36:09
  like or UPN show my dating myself.
• 36:13
  I'm just think of 2004, you know, like it gives giving
• 36:16
  Dawson's Creek. It's giving like, yeah, you're
• 36:20
  Veronica Mars or something, I don't know.
• 36:21
  It's like giving these old shows of that time, at least in the
• 36:24
  US. Like we had.
• 36:25
  So yeah. I think it's, I think nowadays
• 36:29
  is probably a guilty pleasure. For sure, the last thing that
• 36:33
  I'll say before we get into spoilers is, I was posting some
• 36:35
  tick-tocks about Full House and this came up in the comments
• 36:38
  section. Some people were like, this is
• 36:40
  this rain oh my God, Lorraine looks so good and then some
• 36:44
  people started posting about rain stinky breath.
• 36:48
  So real quick. Yeah, this is a vicious rumor
• 36:53
  that was started by an asshole Idol.
• 36:56
  Who is now blacklisted and canceled for talking shit online
• 37:00
  about Rain and other celebrities.
• 37:03
  So if you are use canceled though, no, that's not what
• 37:07
  that's not even why you that guy was cancelled, but I'm just
• 37:09
  saying sucks generally. Yeah, he just sucks.
• 37:11
  So that guy who was posting about rains breath being stinky
• 37:16
  and I don't know why this rumor still persists and people either
• 37:19
  believe in it or they believe in it as a joke.
• 37:22
  Either way, I don't find it. I don't find it that funny.
• 37:25
  In fact, it was a pretty, it's not that funny.
• 37:27
  And I will have bad breath sometimes.
• 37:29
  Like, I don't know, you know, it's It's it was concerning when
• 37:35
  people were commenting on it on the video in mass and I was
• 37:38
  like, I don't, are you joking? Or are you serious that you
• 37:43
  believe this rumor? I couldn't tell and that was a
• 37:45
  little scary. That's why I wanted to bring it
• 37:47
  up now is because this is rain 20 years ago before the internet
• 37:51
  basically was the internet. Yeah.
• 37:55
  And some of y'all are real goofy talking about rains breath.
• 37:59
  When you're not even Like, you are not even a fought in your
• 38:03
  mama's brain, when he was making a name for himself and putting
• 38:06
  out music. And if you're listening right
• 38:08
  now and genuinely think that rains breath stinks, you better
• 38:10
  check yourself because your breath smells like stale, Hot
• 38:13
  Cheetos and underage drinking, I swear to God.
• 38:15
  If I if you genuinely, believe everines breath stinks in a real
• 38:20
  palpable way. That's like off-putting to other
• 38:23
  K-pop Idols. I don't know what to tell you.
• 38:27
  I will also say a that's not grounds like that has nothing,
• 38:30
  do they? Even if you're right right?
• 38:32
  What does that mean? I don't that's not an insult,
• 38:34
  really? I know that's what to say.
• 38:36
  The other thing is I don't know to contextualize for people who
• 38:39
  don't know about rain or don't follow Idol or K-pop.
• 38:41
  Idols, our Kpop rain is like the stock has huge.
• 38:45
  Yes, let's talk about the reign of it because he was a
• 38:48
  phenomenon. Yes, he's a legend.
• 38:51
  He was so huge and he didn't have a group to help back him
• 38:55
  up. So it's not like, if you didn't
• 38:56
  like, like most people like to rain, it was like, I put this
• 38:59
  member that member to like, you just Like to bring in himself
• 39:01
  and he was the height of like, sexy and like doing kind of
• 39:05
  innovative things that wasn't really happening in Korea.
• 39:07
  To that extent. He had offers do and he did do I
• 39:10
  think Hollywood movies. I know a long time ago, he
• 39:12
  appeared on like The Colbert Report or some, like American
• 39:15
  thing was as before K-pop Idols routinely.
• 39:17
  Shut up on Late Night. American talk shows.
• 39:20
  You know, I knew who Reign was before, I knew a single other
• 39:22
  Kpop person like years and years before I got into Kpop and it's
• 39:26
  you have to respect, like, you don't have to like him or right
• 39:29
  hand, right? Understand And respect that he
• 39:32
  was like, a really groundbreaking artist, and he
• 39:37
  did so many things, and a lot of the people you like, now, if
• 39:40
  you're a Kpop fan were inspired by him, so you can hate him or
• 39:46
  like, clown him for his breath, or whatever you want to do.
• 39:48
  But he was and still is a legend, and he might not be the
• 39:51
  best, like morally a person. I don't know.
• 39:53
  Ideally, as far as I know, he's like, not like a scandal-ridden
• 39:56
  person and he's a father and he's a husband, he's got his own
• 40:00
  like life. He Has a group called Cipher, I
• 40:03
  think, which is like a boy group.
• 40:04
  Now, that's debuted recently, so he has a lot going on and if
• 40:08
  this what you want to choose to pick on him for you can but like
• 40:11
  compared to him, you're probably know, nobody just say that like
• 40:18
  you know, I like his music but I'm not like honestly I think
• 40:22
  the bottom line is put some more spec on his name because rain
• 40:25
  was doing this way before your favorite Idol.
• 40:29
  And again he's A Pioneer and I think a lot of people also don't
• 40:36
  like rain because of his association with jyp who was a
• 40:39
  tremendous mentor to him and sign him to jyp and stuff.
• 40:45
  I think a lot of people also don't know.
• 40:47
  The rain was pretty groundbreaking in that jyp and
• 40:51
  other industry insiders were telling him to get plastic
• 40:55
  surgery and get the double eyelid surgery and he never did.
• 40:59
  Hmm. Yeah, I've seen them on, other
• 41:01
  shows being like, Oh, I auditioned and didn't get into
• 41:03
  SM Entertainment or like, I addition for all these other
• 41:06
  companies, I don't know for sure if like, gaap gave him his break
• 41:10
  or his chance or whatever. But I mean, they do have a
• 41:13
  professional relationship. Everyone finds gaap a little
• 41:15
  cringey and that's whatever but but on he he stands on his own
• 41:20
  as well you know regardless of gaap associations.
• 41:23
  I think. Yes by now for sure.
• 41:25
  I agree. I agree.
• 41:26
  Also watch him in Ninja Assassin from 2009 because A movie is
• 41:29
  trash but I'll it was like good trash.
• 41:31
  So, on that note, I think we're going to get into spoilers for
• 41:38
  Full House. So, keep listening.
• 41:40
  If you want to be spoiled or have already watched Full House.
• 41:50
  You want to come here? All right.
• 41:51
  We're on the other side of spoilers.
• 41:52
  So we're going to talk about Full House and all of the plot
• 41:56
  details. Not too many plot details
• 41:58
  because there's not that much. But Mina, I think you had
• 42:02
  something specific. You wanted to start off on so
• 42:05
  hit me with it. Okay.
• 42:07
  I want to know why her bestie AK?
• 42:11
  Someone who defrauded her jin-hee.
• 42:14
  Why was she never showing signs of pregnancy.
• 42:16
  Okay, so really bothersome to me I have in my notes BFF who is
• 42:22
  pregnant but never looks pregnant question.
• 42:24
  Mark question mark because the whole thing of why they robbed
• 42:28
  her Of her house and sold it under her, was because she was
• 42:33
  pregnant, and they were a couple of bombs.
• 42:36
  They had no money. She got cut off from her, rich
• 42:38
  dad, and they were like, well married, yeah, they yeah, out of
• 42:42
  wedlock and stuff. They were pregnant out of
• 42:44
  wedlock and they needed money. They needed funds or whatever.
• 42:48
  For the baby evidently. There was no baby because she
• 42:52
  never appeared pregnant throughout the course of the
• 42:56
  show. And I'm talking like it.
• 42:59
  Was a logical how she never seen?
• 43:02
  He was a size zero the yes. Right.
• 43:05
  Right, but she also kept saying like the baby's coming soon, the
• 43:07
  bees any day now. It's coming thither like
• 43:10
  Eminence. So it's not that they kept like,
• 43:14
  looking at her belly and be like, oh, the baby.
• 43:16
  Like what? Baby, what, baby, where are you?
• 43:19
  Hiding this baby? Because she was not with child.
• 43:23
  There is no way that woman was with child.
• 43:26
  No, and I remember thinking that too and I first watch Full House
• 43:30
  was like, what the fuck is this? Like she's not pregnant and in
• 43:33
  no way. Has some like Health scares were
• 43:36
  like she gets pushed her she falls, it's like, oh no, we
• 43:38
  gotta get the baby. Like, we gotta go to the
• 43:40
  hospital, make sure the baby's, okay.
• 43:41
  It's like, okay, fine. But then later there was like,
• 43:44
  she looked exactly the same. Like there was never even a hint
• 43:47
  of a bump or hint of anything. Nothing.
• 43:52
  Nothing. I hated it.
• 43:54
  I hated it so much. Much.
• 43:57
  And something else that I had a question about was rain.
• 44:00
  Comes from an affluent, well educated family.
• 44:02
  His father is a surgeon or a doctor in a hospital setting
• 44:08
  well regarded and they said that rain also got into medical
• 44:15
  school. Yeah.
• 44:17
  And I was like, okay, wait, wait, wait, do we actually
• 44:22
  believe that brain was a smart cookie and could?
• 44:26
  Into medical school that character, okay?
• 44:30
  I thought read this as more of like a nepotism thing and I
• 44:33
  don't know how easy or difficult it is or was back then to do
• 44:36
  that to be like I'm the like chief of whatever of this
• 44:38
  hospital. So my son's going to med school
• 44:40
  and the fact that it seemed like rains character didn't go to med
• 44:44
  school and didn't become a doctor to spite his father.
• 44:46
  So it wasn't even about like his smartness or lack thereof is not
• 44:50
  relevant. It was just like I'm here
• 44:51
  disappoint, my father bear. You know, it never occurred to
• 44:58
  me about the nepotism thing. Well I don't know if that's the
• 45:00
  thing, I don't know, but in the world of this, it could be like,
• 45:02
  why not? You know, this lady Zara
• 45:03
  pregnant you don't need to actually like apply to med
• 45:06
  school. You can stuff your dad calling
• 45:08
  calling to to attend, but I don't know.
• 45:11
  I also feel like rains character is a little bit, had a little
• 45:15
  more Integrity than that, I don't know, maybe a maybe for
• 45:19
  med school. He was a little more serious and
• 45:22
  bit up for everything else, he's pretty goofy.
• 45:24
  But, anyway, let's talk about Episode 1 because it starts with
• 45:28
  rain shirtless in bed which that sets the tone that sets the
• 45:33
  tone. For the whole show is like rain
• 45:36
  getting up and going through his routine as a celebrity and he
• 45:39
  has no privacy and he doesn't like when people are asking
• 45:42
  about his private life and who he's dating in the tabloids and
• 45:45
  all this shit. Like it's established that he
• 45:47
  wants some distance from the city and it's no surprise that
• 45:52
  he gets this. He wants this house that's
• 45:54
  secluded and by this Lake and you know, There's no Paparazzi
• 45:57
  whatsoever at the house, the friends Swindle her and they
• 46:01
  sell they send her on the trip, the flight over to Chiang Rai.
• 46:10
  Oh my God, a comedy of errors. It's hysterical.
• 46:16
  What did you think of this sequence?
• 46:18
  Well, okay vomiting on raid, the Mayberry thing Just one of the
• 46:27
  best meat cubes I've seen because it's Preposterous and
• 46:32
  it's unrelenting everything that she's doing on the flight is
• 46:37
  unacceptable to pretty much any standard.
• 46:42
  Like, it doesn't matter if you're a person who likes to
• 46:44
  dress up four flights or go in your PJs and take a fucking
• 46:48
  teddy bear with you, everything that she's doing is just bad,
• 46:53
  practice it on a flight. Right.
• 46:57
  Reaching over him, asking for more food asking for this
• 47:00
  asking, if I attended for that and then getting ill enough to
• 47:03
  puke on him and because she is struggling.
• 47:07
  She's yeah, shoveling food into her gullet.
• 47:11
  And there is noticing her in-flight magazine and being
• 47:14
  like, hey, are you this? The celebrity guys that?
• 47:16
  Yeah. I'm on the shoulder.
• 47:17
  Like, is this you and he's like, bro, leave me alone.
• 47:21
  He was like, he pretends to go to sleep.
• 47:23
  And she's like, okay, rude. And I'm like, Shut up like a
• 47:28
  song hye-kyo, please when she's tossing, the nuts up and she
• 47:32
  liked apples. Like, did you see that?
• 47:33
  I caught the knife, my mouth, get you scheduled it, with her
• 47:37
  mouth, the throwing up all over it for.
• 47:40
  She's like, looking at his customs, declaration car, trying
• 47:43
  to like, figure out how to do it.
• 47:46
  And he's like, like they're take as if they're taking a test in
• 47:49
  school, and she's copying him, and he's like, like leaning
• 47:52
  over. It's so great.
• 47:54
  Like, you know, how that you put on those cards, like what
• 47:57
  address you'll be at in. Yeah, the cognac Landing in, I
• 48:00
  thought he was like, covering it because he was like this, this
• 48:03
  could be like a crazy psycho stalker fan of mine.
• 48:06
  So like, I don't know where, you know, where my address in
• 48:09
  Shanghai is going to be, so I'm covering it.
• 48:12
  Maybe I'm just too immersed in a, that's the truth.
• 48:14
  I so, you know, that's something that I didn't even think of that
• 48:17
  his address might be on there. And he doesn't want her looking
• 48:20
  at it. I think she was just, it's not
• 48:22
  just that she's nosy. See, it's that she does.
• 48:24
  She's literally never been on a plane before.
• 48:27
  Never been out of the country before.
• 48:29
  So she doesn't know how to fill up the cup of what to put on the
• 48:31
  Customs card. But Chic Mom it's all over him
• 48:36
  because she Taps him and she's like I don't know if you know
• 48:39
  this was like my first time on a plane.
• 48:41
  My first time flying. Did you know that you can
• 48:46
  swallow to get rid of like the pressure in your ears and he's
• 48:50
  listening to her just rolling. His eyes doesn't want anything.
• 48:53
  To do with her and she's like, watch me swallow like this and
• 48:58
  she likes to swallow pukes all over him.
• 49:06
  It's hysterical and his shock just like it's like
• 49:11
  shell-shocked. It's not even upset necessarily.
• 49:14
  He gets more upset later when he's trying to get the vomit out
• 49:17
  of a shirt. But oh my God, it's comedy gold.
• 49:22
  I was recently in London a few months ago and they had this
• 49:25
  exhibit for the how you wave the Korean wave at the Victoria and
• 49:29
  Albert Museum in London. And one of the things they had
• 49:31
  it was like all this kdrama stuff and they had everything
• 49:33
  like Kpop kdrama and they had, they were just playing on a loop
• 49:36
  at the scene of them on the plane, but it wasn't like the
• 49:39
  whole thing because they didn't just to watch her projectile,
• 49:42
  vomit the whole time, but it was like her like a sitting down him
• 49:45
  sitting down and her being like are you the celebrity?
• 49:47
  And they just kept. Yeah, I was like Full House and
• 49:51
  need to watch that. And so, So that was great to see
• 49:54
  you later. Oh my God.
• 49:55
  Yeah, it's such a good scene and really the hijinks that happens
• 49:59
  the sort of slapstick comedy is so common.
• 50:03
  I feel like now in the lighter kdramas especially not like the
• 50:07
  squid game. All of us are dead kingdom ones
• 50:11
  but the glory didn't have any of this but you feel me?
• 50:14
  No her meeting her meet Q with the second male lead when they
• 50:21
  go to the hotel. She finally gets to the hotel,
• 50:24
  she stiffs, the cab driver. That was brutal to watch.
• 50:28
  I think you can possibly died of second-hand embarrassment from
• 50:33
  watching the show because everything, she the first
• 50:36
  episode of the show. Yeah.
• 50:37
  So she gets in there. Obviously there's no reservation
• 50:41
  at this nice hotel but the second male lead roles up.
• 50:44
  Start speaking Japanese on the phone.
• 50:46
  And when he hangs up, he looks at her because they're both
• 50:49
  standing at the check-in counter and she starts.
• 50:52
  Talking to him in Korean thinking, he's Japanese and
• 50:57
  doesn't understand Korean. And she says stuff.
• 51:00
  Le why are you looking at me? Do you think I'm pretty?
• 51:04
  And I was like, shut up like, just shut up.
• 51:08
  So I'm gonna kill and he ends up helping obviously, they turned
• 51:13
  to her. The front desk girl goes.
• 51:15
  You have no reservation and she doesn't speak Mandarin English.
• 51:20
  Oh, yeah, I know, was she Really started.
• 51:23
  And yeah. And then she's the front desk.
• 51:25
  Lady switch to English and she didn't understand either, right?
• 51:29
  So then he swoops in and saves her and he starts talking in
• 51:32
  Korean, and I was like, oh God, this is so embarrassing and he
• 51:37
  helps her get the reservation set up because he's speaking to
• 51:40
  the different density in English, when he walks away,
• 51:44
  she's just like oh my God, she puts her head on the counter and
• 51:48
  just it was such a great moment and He walks away smiling, which
• 51:55
  is an even greater like even greater, right?
• 51:58
  He's, he was just entertained and handsome and cute and I was
• 52:02
  like, oh my God. Yeah, I just love those meet
• 52:10
  cutes. I love that bit of episode 1
• 52:12
  because it hooks you in, right away, right away.
• 52:17
  The first episode also had something that was really
• 52:20
  questionable because towards the end rain brings her to this
• 52:25
  dinner with the second female lead and the second male lead
• 52:29
  thinking that this is huge misunderstanding.
• 52:33
  He thinks that some guy kill is the ex-girlfriend of the yeah of
• 52:40
  the best friend minhyuk, the second male lead and he gets
• 52:44
  upset that that's not the case she Said this made it seem like
• 52:49
  she was related to him so that he would give her money so she
• 52:51
  could get the hell back to Korea because he had no funds.
• 52:55
  And he motions to like hit her. Like he goes like this.
• 52:59
  Like raises his hand to hit her. And I remember this distinctly
• 53:03
  that she calls him out on it saying like, oh yeah.
• 53:05
  Oh you're a real jerk and taunts him and goes like your hippie
• 53:09
  hippie. Go ahead like hit me.
• 53:10
  Yeah. And then boom, she headbutts
• 53:12
  him. Yeah.
• 53:15
  And he's like ah so I was like damn girl.
• 53:21
  Like yeah, she's like Shameless. Yeah.
• 53:27
  So to get into the more like a little bit into the more I
• 53:30
  guess. Poignant parts of her
• 53:32
  characters. She is an orphan her.
• 53:35
  Her parents died in an accident when she was in Middle School.
• 53:38
  She had to bring herself up in this giant empty house somehow
• 53:42
  which they never fully. Explain how exactly that
• 53:44
  happened and then heard only two friends in the world like are
• 53:48
  jerks and so she doesn't care. Like she kind of has like, no
• 53:52
  F's to give. She doesn't care if you're a
• 53:53
  celebrity, she doesn't care about like you know kind of
• 53:56
  pretense. So when he's acting like that
• 53:58
  with her, she doesn't care. She's like, oh well go ahead and
• 54:01
  hit me. What do you do?
• 54:02
  Like doesn't have any could care less.
• 54:05
  She's nothing to lose by being kind of tacky and she kind of is
• 54:07
  like, etiquette wise a little on the tacky side because I'm super
• 54:11
  tacky her. Yeah, yeah.
• 54:13
  At the 30 later, I think in episode 2, they go to like this
• 54:17
  launch party and she shows up and he's like, what are you
• 54:21
  doing here? Because they he'd refused to
• 54:24
  take her to the party. So she just shows up and she's
• 54:28
  eating at the buffet and she Drew she drops like chocolate or
• 54:31
  something on her dress. Yeah.
• 54:33
  And he's like, she's like she was are filling up her plate to
• 54:36
  with like every everything from the buffet table, I like eating
• 54:40
  stuff from the buffet table, while also like trying to put on
• 54:42
  the plate with it. It was, it's a little it's
• 54:46
  painful. It's painful knowing why I
• 54:48
  cringe? It's a lot of Courage for us the
• 54:51
  viewer. Yes, but she has, I mean, you
• 54:55
  touch on like her personality traits but I also think that she
• 54:59
  has a lot of Pride because when she finds out that rain has
• 55:04
  bought her house and he's living.
• 55:06
  Now in her house, he asks, her, if she's homeless and she never
• 55:11
  thought of it that way, that right now, she's Destitute and
• 55:14
  homeless and he tries to give her money out of pity.
• 55:17
  He's like, just take this money and go and live your life and
• 55:21
  like figure out your situation and she takes this gesture so
• 55:25
  badly. She doesn't consider herself at
• 55:28
  all homeless and out of Pride. She rejects the money and storms
• 55:32
  out. So it's interesting to see how
• 55:36
  she, I mean, if I was in that situation and someone was like,
• 55:40
  here's a Wad of money for you to just get back on your feet.
• 55:46
  I'd be like, you know what? Thank you because I don't have a
• 55:50
  penny to my name right now. They've cleared out my savings.
• 55:54
  She doesn't have a home, like she really didn't think it
• 55:59
  through and was had a bad temper about it.
• 56:02
  If whatever you want to call it and she storms out of the house.
• 56:06
  Yeah. But I think the fact that her
• 56:08
  late father built the house with his own, two hands and designed
• 56:10
  it and That's all she has of that family.
• 56:13
  Yes that's all that's why she's like I'm not fucking leaving
• 56:16
  like a look like but then also my thing is she doesn't report
• 56:22
  the friends to the police know which would essentially start
• 56:27
  the criminal process because they committed a crime.
• 56:32
  Oh, I don't understand that either is like she has no, like
• 56:38
  she wants to stay in the house. She's imposing upon this guy who
• 56:42
  thinks that he bought the house fair and square.
• 56:44
  When really it was fraud and like she doesn't remedy, try and
• 56:49
  remedy the situation in any legal way.
• 56:52
  I wondered about that too. I was like, is it?
• 56:54
  Because she doesn't have like legal funds, you know, for that
• 56:57
  or like what that would entail like.
• 56:58
  It's not as simple as you file, a police report and it's over.
• 57:00
  You have to like, get lawyers involved you to like go to court
• 57:03
  all the time and she has to her a little internet writing to do
• 57:06
  wherever she makes money your, but it's whatever she does
• 57:08
  before this happens. So I wondered if that was and
• 57:11
  also the loyalty to like her friends, don't look, who has
• 57:16
  the, the guy, right, couple her, a couple friends, that that's
• 57:20
  her childhood friend. And maybe he did in some point
• 57:22
  in her life, like Out for her. And he/she does view him as
• 57:24
  family. So she was gonna sell him out
• 57:26
  even though they sold her out, literally, she was going to sell
• 57:28
  him out. I don't know.
• 57:29
  That's that's just the thoughts. I had about that because I was
• 57:31
  so was like, can you sort this out a different way?
• 57:35
  But I think yeah that that whole thing is like a debacle to me is
• 57:41
  very baffling to see how she handled the situation.
• 57:43
  But one thing that I think is really nice about the show is in
• 57:49
  re watching it, I saw that rains character.
• 57:53
  Youngjae started to like her almost immediately.
• 57:58
  Which I thought was very, I don't know it just made me
• 58:00
  really happy, you know, he kicks her out of the house and episode
• 58:04
  2. Yeah.
• 58:05
  She catches a really mean fever, high fever and he takes care of
• 58:10
  her and he cooks her porridge and he lets her stay in the
• 58:13
  house and all this stuff. And then when she is pissed,
• 58:16
  after he offers her money, she goes down the street to the
• 58:20
  local bus stop and he watches her.
• 58:22
  He is driving out for something in his little tiny Mercedes car.
• 58:28
  And he's watching her at the bus, stop, like annoyed, he's
• 58:32
  like annoyed when she mouths off at him, but then he wants her to
• 58:35
  be okay, and he's worried about her well-being and he sort of
• 58:40
  Tricks her into coming back to the house and be signing this
• 58:45
  weird agreement that says like oh I'm going to be your maid
• 58:49
  live-in. Maid and I'm going to work off
• 58:51
  like the value of the house or something like that.
• 58:53
  It's really weird. Yeah, which he doesn't have to
• 58:56
  do all this. Yeah, I wondered like, I kept
• 59:00
  trying to think of reasons like their motivations for everything
• 59:02
  that they were doing, because honestly, the first few episodes
• 59:04
  I was just baffled. I was like, this is all
• 59:06
  happening too fast. Like she's, she's in Shanghai.
• 59:08
  And now she's like penniless and now she's back in Korea and now
• 59:11
  she's on this like double date and like all that's happening,
• 59:14
  so fast. And so, with regards to like,
• 59:18
  why he wanted her around, like I think he liked her, like you
• 59:21
  said, because maybe the fact that she's so, like, it doesn't
• 59:24
  have pretension does not is not fazed by him being a celebrity
• 59:27
  and he That's refreshing for him because everyone's always like
• 59:30
  trying to grab his attention and impressed by him everywhere he
• 59:32
  goes and she's not really, and that she has her own Pride
• 59:35
  despite like he was like here, I'll throw money at this
• 59:37
  problem. I could do to all my problems.
• 59:39
  Maybe and that didn't do anything for her and then my
• 59:42
  think he didn't want to be alone.
• 59:44
  Yeah, he wanted seclusion and all that he just didn't want to
• 59:46
  be alone alone. Hmm, yeah, exactly.
• 59:50
  I think he really craved that. Extra person because he's been
• 59:55
  alone for so long. He doesn't have a good
• 59:56
  relationship with his family, he eats alone and everything.
• 1:00:00
  And so her is, she's livening up his life and even in episode 2,
• 1:00:06
  where he refuses to take her to the launch party.
• 1:00:08
  He gives her shitty ass script, to his manager at the party and
• 1:00:13
  is like, hey, like check this out and see if it's any good and
• 1:00:17
  even though he doesn't say like it's this lady that's living in
• 1:00:19
  my house. It's where's this is her house
• 1:00:22
  and she's My live-in housemaid, he doesn't give any of that
• 1:00:26
  context, but he actually is trying to look out for her and
• 1:00:30
  trying to push her work forward and I was like, that's a huge
• 1:00:34
  step, you know, I think it humanized him because it's
• 1:00:37
  especially nowadays in kdramas when you see two balls or like,
• 1:00:40
  celebrities are powerful people characters.
• 1:00:43
  They're always, like, heartless, cold and horrible and youngjae
• 1:00:47
  character is so humanized. He has this like whole bag is
• 1:00:50
  like, sad sob story backstory this thing with his family.
• 1:00:52
  His life isn't easy. I thought one of the really
• 1:00:54
  well-done scenes and your, the film critic.
• 1:00:56
  So you tell me, but was in episode 1, when he's going
• 1:01:00
  through the Press, call or whatever.
• 1:01:01
  The Press thing, like continuous lie, saying the same, like
• 1:01:04
  regurgitating, the same answers to the same questions to like
• 1:01:07
  various languages and like, kind of canned responses.
• 1:01:11
  And his life isn't that great. Even though he is a celebrity
• 1:01:14
  and what most people especially 2004, perceived of as being like
• 1:01:17
  God, like or being like the luckiest man on Earth.
• 1:01:20
  He wasn't that. Yeah, I love that.
• 1:01:22
  Scene. I love that scene and it reminds
• 1:01:24
  me of a few were privy to the breast or of a star is born with
• 1:01:30
  Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper a little bit.
• 1:01:32
  Okay, this is, I mean, this was a phenomenon, but because of the
• 1:01:36
  internet, this made the rounds of Lady Gaga doing the kick, and
• 1:01:39
  responsive it, whether there's a hon, if there's a hundred people
• 1:01:43
  in a room, all it takes is one person to be driving every time
• 1:01:51
  and it became so me mobile. Well, and so funny to hear these
• 1:01:55
  Super Cuts that people made of her saying the same freaking
• 1:01:58
  response over and over. It's real like that felt like a
• 1:02:01
  very real seen. Not only see him going through
• 1:02:05
  modern day. Yeah, it always relied modern
• 1:02:08
  day. We have that context now that
• 1:02:10
  like the smoke and mirrors of being a celebrity is a lot more
• 1:02:14
  lifted. Now, compared in 2004 where,
• 1:02:17
  that might have been People's First Time, realizing what it's
• 1:02:18
  like to go through a press call like that, damn white.
• 1:02:22
  Eight. Right exactly.
• 1:02:25
  I completely agree with you that it did pull back the curtain a
• 1:02:28
  little bit and inform his character and see that he's
• 1:02:31
  lonely. Yeah you know, poor little rain,
• 1:02:35
  pour a little rain, but don't feel too bad for him because
• 1:02:38
  he's like kind of a terror, the rest of them show a little bit
• 1:02:41
  of a tyrant. So I was confused about the
• 1:02:45
  second female lead because help, let's talk about anyone because
• 1:02:51
  I want is a freaking mess. Yeah.
• 1:02:54
  Um, mess and she had feelings for minhyeok the second male
• 1:03:00
  lead, so there was a love square that was happening in the show
• 1:03:04
  for the bulk of it. If you're into love squares and
• 1:03:06
  good on you, this is a show for you this.
• 1:03:10
  So in episode 2, she is trying to assert her A feelings over.
• 1:03:15
  The second male lead over Min yolk and milk is not having it.
• 1:03:20
  He's like, I don't like you. I see you as a sibling, it's
• 1:03:23
  not, we're not good together. I don't, you know, you don't
• 1:03:26
  really like me. He's challenging her feelings.
• 1:03:29
  And he says, also youngjae likes you young, she has feelings for
• 1:03:34
  you and it never occurred to her in all the years that they've
• 1:03:38
  been friends that she is, has friend-zoned like youngjae, I
• 1:03:43
  said, And so at this big party, she like aggressively and
• 1:03:50
  cruelly, confronts rain about his feelings and she's like do
• 1:03:54
  you like me in a very like maliciously?
• 1:03:57
  You know, and challenges him to confess on the spot and that's
• 1:04:01
  when he goes He instead of actually you know, broaching the
• 1:04:06
  subject with her, he takes it badly and he says, I really like
• 1:04:13
  you. You and Ian and grab something
• 1:04:17
  that kills character and pulls her in for a kiss.
• 1:04:20
  And that's how the episode ends in this big.
• 1:04:22
  Like, oh my God, with all of these other celebrities and
• 1:04:26
  people in the industry and Paparazzi and media.
• 1:04:28
  There he does. This huge gesture in front of
• 1:04:32
  everyone and declares he likes Han jieun.
• 1:04:35
  So it just spirals from there, the contract, marriage and
• 1:04:40
  stuff, which I don't know why they would jump to marriage
• 1:04:44
  after that. It's like, I think because,
• 1:04:47
  like, in conservative societies, it's hard to justify living
• 1:04:49
  together as a guy and a girl. Unless I gave more, I need like
• 1:04:58
  more backstory to be explained and they didn't explain like
• 1:05:01
  anything. So I was just filling in my own
• 1:05:02
  life as far as what's going on, but that was my take on.
• 1:05:06
  It was like, they needed to like show like a legitimate reason to
• 1:05:08
  be living in this house together.
• 1:05:10
  Yeah, she's my live-in. Maid.
• 1:05:13
  In episode 3, she gets kidnapped basically by his estranged
• 1:05:16
  family. And she meets the grandma For
• 1:05:19
  the First Time, The Hominy and hungy and has no idea how to
• 1:05:24
  kowtow like the big bow, and it's funny, it's really funny.
• 1:05:31
  And even now I think it's funny, the grandma is not happy that
• 1:05:35
  her parents are dead and that she's that she's 20.
• 1:05:40
  She's only T3. And that's what she says in the
• 1:05:42
  show that her character is also 23 show.
• 1:05:45
  She matches the age of the character in real life and I
• 1:05:51
  thought this was so refreshing. This is something we don't see
• 1:05:54
  in kdramas, nowadays, this overt Korean - right, like, what is
• 1:06:00
  the grandma so upset about, right?
• 1:06:02
  It's that he got engaged and she doesn't, she's never met this
• 1:06:06
  girl before. He's never taken her by the
• 1:06:08
  house. He's never introduced her to the
• 1:06:10
  family. She's Going to become part of
• 1:06:12
  the family without having met them.
• 1:06:15
  And that's why she's upset because in their culture that's
• 1:06:17
  just frowned upon and then she comes and meets the elders.
• 1:06:21
  They kidnap her, like they're like, get in the car and the
• 1:06:24
  come. So, but anyway, she gets there.
• 1:06:26
  She's meeting the elders and she doesn't bow deeply and
• 1:06:30
  respectfully enough enough. Yeah, she does this weird
• 1:06:33
  curtsy, which it's funny but it's all funny.
• 1:06:37
  Furnace is. Yeah.
• 1:06:38
  I know. She's super awkward and the
• 1:06:41
  Grandma's not Not happy about her being an orphan.
• 1:06:45
  And you're like, what gives, what does it matter that she's
• 1:06:48
  an orphan. So I will speak to this a little
• 1:06:51
  bit and again, I'm not Korean since this is a voice
• 1:06:54
  podcasting, but my family South Asian there from Bangladesh and
• 1:06:58
  in that culture was like arranged marriages and things
• 1:07:00
  like that. Having a quote unquote good
• 1:07:02
  match is seems like, you know, you come from a comparably good
• 1:07:05
  or better than your family and families, marry each other.
• 1:07:08
  Like it's your family, marry their family, so they have to
• 1:07:11
  come from. Family.
• 1:07:12
  Having at least how I understand it.
• 1:07:14
  And this is again, my understanding I never lived in
• 1:07:16
  Bangladesh. So like I don't know, I'm
• 1:07:17
  talking about necessarily and this is like an old-school
• 1:07:19
  thought. Anyway, I don't think this is
• 1:07:21
  something that is still a thing and I think Grandma represented
• 1:07:23
  definitely old school. Korean s versus whatever is
• 1:07:26
  going was going on 2004 and Beyond.
• 1:07:28
  But I know in my family of kind of heard here and there about
• 1:07:31
  like Marrying, an orphan can be considered if you buy into this
• 1:07:35
  old-school, frame of thought a bad thing because it's not like
• 1:07:38
  you come from a good family, you come from, no family, have
• 1:07:41
  nothing. Being so you have no like title
• 1:07:43
  or lineage or this or that or I don't know.
• 1:07:46
  And I also kind of struggle to understand why that's like a
• 1:07:48
  quote unquote bad thing to that extent.
• 1:07:50
  I kind of realized or identified more with like the whole grandma
• 1:07:53
  getting upset that we don't even know this girl, you never
• 1:07:55
  introduced her to us, like, how, you know who is she like, how
• 1:07:57
  can we meet her now? Like this?
• 1:07:59
  And we have to hear about this after you're engaged or
• 1:08:00
  whatever, but, but yeah, there is possibly a school of thoughts
• 1:08:04
  and again, consult a Korean person.
• 1:08:06
  Because I don't know that marrying into an orphaned
• 1:08:09
  person's life, I guess. She's they don't have much of a
• 1:08:12
  family. The, in this show, she didn't
• 1:08:15
  have like extended family, either like, Aunts Uncles or
• 1:08:18
  anything. So she's just her alone.
• 1:08:20
  So there's nothing to go off of. You don't know if she's like
• 1:08:22
  from a good family or not. Exactly.
• 1:08:24
  Yeah, I think that's exactly what the case was was that she
• 1:08:29
  doesn't have people like she doesn't have people to back her
• 1:08:32
  up. She doesn't have people to teach
• 1:08:37
  her right from wrong and that's why I think in a lot of older
• 1:08:40
  shows. Especially when kids are orphans
• 1:08:43
  or when people are young people are orphans.
• 1:08:45
  They're like no they're just going to be a bad influence
• 1:08:50
  because they have nobody at home.
• 1:08:51
  That's keeping them in check. You also have no one to reflect
• 1:08:55
  back. Like what kind of person you may
• 1:08:56
  be? So if I'm meeting you for the
• 1:08:57
  first time and I don't have any contacts, you're not like my
• 1:09:00
  father is a judge or like, my mother was a schoolteacher like
• 1:09:03
  that. You kind of start to formulate
• 1:09:05
  like, oh, you, you're probably maybe motherly because your
• 1:09:07
  mother was a schoolteacher. So she's probably with kids and
• 1:09:09
  you can formal these little background.
• 1:09:11
  Sera, Sera. And if you are someone who
• 1:09:13
  doesn't have parents or were you were not raised by parents.
• 1:09:16
  You'd there's nothing for you to go off of to judge you.
• 1:09:19
  And unfortunately that's what they want to do is like judge.
• 1:09:21
  I also do know that in Korea they used to do arranged
• 1:09:23
  marriage through like the 90s, all those like not uncommon.
• 1:09:26
  So I think all that combined was just like showing its ugly head
• 1:09:31
  at this in this episode. Yeah.
• 1:09:33
  And throughout the show whenever she visits the in-laws, there's
• 1:09:37
  different things that are so Korean.
• 1:09:40
  It's so much Steeped in their culture that you feel.
• 1:09:44
  And I still feel like this show had no idea that it was going to
• 1:09:49
  be seen by anybody outside of Korea.
• 1:09:51
  And that's a nice. I feel like that's a nice
• 1:09:53
  feeling to see. Like the raw, this is was
• 1:09:55
  intended. Not for me.
• 1:09:57
  And I'm gleaning so much from it.
• 1:09:59
  I'm getting so entertained by it.
• 1:10:01
  I love these characters and I'm learning, right?
• 1:10:05
  I'm learning about their culture, I can look things up
• 1:10:08
  the same thing happens later in the show where they come back
• 1:10:10
  from their honeymoon, which We will talk about the honeymoon,
• 1:10:14
  but they come back and they go over to the house.
• 1:10:19
  After getting a really mad call, like, they call over and the
• 1:10:23
  in-laws are pissed or like, what get over here right now.
• 1:10:26
  Why aren't you at the house? Why don't you come visit us and
• 1:10:30
  hungy and comes over and she's wearing regular clothes.
• 1:10:33
  And the grandma says, like, how is she?
• 1:10:36
  Why is she here in regular clothes?
• 1:10:38
  She should be wearing hum book. Which again this is part like
• 1:10:43
  I'm like oh my God like this is very creepy and right, we don't
• 1:10:47
  get this in recent dramas where it doesn't necessarily matter
• 1:10:52
  that the newly married, couple, go to visit the parents and they
• 1:10:57
  the bride is wearing hum book and they bring this traditional
• 1:11:01
  dinner for them to eat and stuff like that.
• 1:11:04
  That is all there. That's all culture that were not
• 1:11:08
  getting any more in kdramas because they there Building
• 1:11:12
  these kdramas and making them for an international audience.
• 1:11:14
  Don't I don't think they do that because I can tell you in
• 1:11:16
  Bangladesh. There's not as many people
• 1:11:18
  walking around in like sarees and stuff.
• 1:11:20
  So right right there are for sure.
• 1:11:23
  But I mean like the whole like like a ceremonious like I need
• 1:11:26
  to greet my grandmother-in-law with like home-cooked,
• 1:11:29
  traditional dishes that proving how well I cook in traditional
• 1:11:32
  outfits knowing like, showing I know how to dress like, how to
• 1:11:35
  be a traditional quote unquote, good girl.
• 1:11:37
  Like that's like a whole ceremony as thing and I don't
• 1:11:39
  know that anyone's doing that anymore.
• 1:11:41
  Right, because it's 2023. However, in 2004, I feel like
• 1:11:46
  they were still on the cusp of this, right, right.
• 1:11:49
  This era of like new school and the old ways and the grandma
• 1:11:53
  keeps saying daughter showed that they need if she needs to
• 1:11:55
  move in with them so that they can teach her things and I'm
• 1:11:59
  like, what are they trying to teach on Jian and they're
• 1:12:02
  talking about cooking cleaning that the family ways to societal
• 1:12:06
  rules, these sort of ceremonial things that she has no idea
• 1:12:11
  because Living in Full House by herself for most of her life.
• 1:12:15
  And now in Korea you don't need like the emphasis on that as
• 1:12:18
  much because everyone works outside of the home, right?
• 1:12:21
  Both men and women people are like ordering you know, ubereats
• 1:12:25
  or whatever, the Korean version isn't that coupon eat coupon
• 1:12:27
  eats to their home for food. They're not like cooking a bunch
• 1:12:30
  of stuff and wearing Han Buck here and there so that's why we
• 1:12:32
  don't see it now I think and it's I think you're right, you
• 1:12:35
  hit on something which is that this turn this Millennial kind
• 1:12:38
  of show where there's still kind of got one foot in like
• 1:12:41
  traditional. Well, Korean stuff.
• 1:12:42
  That was more important back then and old-school style
• 1:12:45
  thinking versus This Modern because like the mom does it,
• 1:12:48
  rains mom or the characters mom? She's not.
• 1:12:50
  Yeah, she doesn't care as much. She's just like they're just let
• 1:12:54
  them be happy. It's fine.
• 1:12:56
  If they don't visit us right after their honeymoon like it's
• 1:13:00
  just she's took a peacemaker, she's very sweet and caring and
• 1:13:05
  she'll cook anything that that hungy and likes and prefers
• 1:13:09
  food-wise. But she's really Just a product
• 1:13:13
  of, you know, being subservient to her mother-in-law this
• 1:13:18
  grandmother character. So she's just going along with
• 1:13:21
  whatever she's want, sirs complaining about but she's not,
• 1:13:25
  she's not believing the right stuff.
• 1:13:28
  Yeah. No, she's not into that.
• 1:13:30
  Yeah, the in-laws playing go stop as well.
• 1:13:34
  My God so cute. I was like, this is a dorm.
• 1:13:37
  I miss this stuff seeing this. Is that she endured her.
• 1:13:42
  I mean, she kind of grew up seemingly without grandparents
• 1:13:44
  without elders, and she fits so well into a family and it was,
• 1:13:48
  like, kind of heartbreaking when you stop to think about.
• 1:13:51
  Like she didn't have this kind of familial like we're just
• 1:13:53
  going to informally play go-stop or like a guest America, play
• 1:13:56
  Monopoly, or whatever. It is like family game night
• 1:13:58
  stuff. But she fits in so.
• 1:14:00
  Well despite her like kind of tackiness her kind of unpolished
• 1:14:04
  you know presentation. She's just like a super
• 1:14:07
  endearing and real person and ears every herself to everyone.
• 1:14:11
  Yeah. Yeah, she becomes Three Bears to
• 1:14:14
  the family because when she gets up with see these, fantastic,
• 1:14:18
  they're like you didn't bring any gifts to us after the
• 1:14:22
  honeymoon. And she was like, well, I
• 1:14:25
  prepared a gift for you guys and then she goes, I brought a song
• 1:14:32
  for you guys. I prepared a song.
• 1:14:33
  So she stands up and performs this children's song about the
• 1:14:39
  three bears, and there's the look on their Her face when she
• 1:14:42
  finishes the song. It's just seared In My Memory
• 1:14:48
  because it's so funny. And they're shocked that she's
• 1:14:53
  like so childish and almost like it.
• 1:14:56
  She has to be joking. But she's not.
• 1:14:58
  She was completely sincere. Right?
• 1:15:04
  Oh God. So then they call her three
• 1:15:05
  bears for the rest of the ship. Three Bears is coming over.
• 1:15:08
  I called three bears and it's so great.
• 1:15:11
  Yeah. Also, one other thing that I
• 1:15:13
  thought was like, oh man, we don't see this in kdramas
• 1:15:15
  anymore is hungy and Prix rains finger after he nearly chokes
• 1:15:20
  on, like bibimbap that he would, he made fun of her for eating
• 1:15:24
  bibimbap and then later he's alone in the house, she's not
• 1:15:27
  obviously there to cook for him and he creates his own bibimbap
• 1:15:30
  bowl and she walks in on him, stuffing his face with this
• 1:15:33
  bowl. He starts choking on it so
• 1:15:35
  indigestion, right? This was a thing like this is an
• 1:15:39
  old wives tale, right? Where are like, maybe it's
• 1:15:42
  related to to like Eastern medicine.
• 1:15:44
  Yeah, exactly. Where if you have indigestion or
• 1:15:47
  stomach issues, you prick your thumb and it just solves the
• 1:15:53
  issue. So I don't.
• 1:15:54
  Yeah, I mean, that God, right? Exactly, so when I saw that, I
• 1:16:01
  was like, holy shit. When was the last time I saw
• 1:16:04
  someone prick, somebody's finger in a kdrama with, for getting
• 1:16:09
  rid of stomach issues like that, was that Kind of stuff that I
• 1:16:12
  was very excited to see, again, everything she did.
• 1:16:17
  And again, I am an over-thinker. So, I was just overthinking all
• 1:16:19
  the stuff but, like the singing, the three bears and using these
• 1:16:22
  kind of old remedies old wives tales type remedies.
• 1:16:26
  I think it's just everything. She remembered her parents doing
• 1:16:28
  in the short time, they were with her is what she just kept
• 1:16:30
  like modeling. So she's like, I know this
• 1:16:32
  nursery rhyme, they sing to my parents and then they
• 1:16:34
  unfortunately passed away by the time I reached like adolescence
• 1:16:37
  and I can do these like really old school remedies.
• 1:16:40
  But But because that's all that she had time to witness them
• 1:16:44
  doing for her. And and so she takes the care
• 1:16:47
  and whatever she had from her family for the short time that
• 1:16:49
  they were there and and kind of like puts it back out in the
• 1:16:52
  world, every she goes like, yeah, hon.
• 1:16:56
  Jian is such a cute. So I took cute character.
• 1:16:59
  Truly episode were jumping back to episode 3 because we were
• 1:17:04
  jumping around with like the Korean this stuff.
• 1:17:07
  But in episode 3, she tries to run away from the wedding which
• 1:17:11
  I found really. Kind of funny like The Runaway
• 1:17:13
  Bride thing, because she fights with him, and it's like, I'm not
• 1:17:18
  getting married to you. Why am I doing this?
• 1:17:20
  And she goes over to her. Swindler friends is Jump of a
• 1:17:23
  house to get away and they trick her into going to the wedding
• 1:17:27
  venue which humbly. I was like, wow, she's really
• 1:17:33
  stupid and gullible but I love to see the wedding scene because
• 1:17:39
  his dad is really sweet to her. And he tells her that she looks
• 1:17:44
  beautiful and that, you know, his boy is short-tempered, but
• 1:17:48
  he's a good kid. Please take care of him and he
• 1:17:52
  walks her down the aisle since she literally has no family and
• 1:17:56
  I found that. So just emotional.
• 1:18:00
  And even though the show is unserious, like we said before
• 1:18:04
  this moment was really nice. Okay, but that wedding dress,
• 1:18:07
  though, ugliest wedding dress. I have ever seen the back of it
• 1:18:14
  looked nice because it had the long back, the long train and
• 1:18:19
  stuff and then you look at the front and I'm like, what is
• 1:18:22
  going on? O.o girl like 2004 I was like, I
• 1:18:25
  don't know what is happening. Like it was short and there was
• 1:18:29
  a lot of like loose lace or something.
• 1:18:33
  Yeah, not a little remedy things.
• 1:18:35
  Yeah, I don't even know. 80s in the front.
• 1:18:37
  Yeah, I don't think in the back. I was like, girl they did you
• 1:18:42
  dirty with this wedding? Because she did pick, it was all
• 1:18:45
  just sort of arranged for her but then you get the honeymoon
• 1:18:49
  scene. Yeah I frickin love honeymoon.
• 1:18:53
  It is so. So the Thailand honeymoon so he
• 1:18:59
  says they should work out their fight, they fight.
• 1:19:01
  Oh, they're always fighting and obviously they're not sharing a
• 1:19:05
  bed and so She's like, where am I going to sleep?
• 1:19:08
  And he says that she's gonna sleep outside and island in the
• 1:19:14
  summer and she's like, I'm not sleeping outside.
• 1:19:18
  So they have a little fight and she says, they that they should
• 1:19:21
  work out there fight like grown-ups and he starts like,
• 1:19:23
  unbuttoning his shirt and insinuate insinuates that he
• 1:19:27
  wants her. And she gets totally smooth
• 1:19:29
  spooked and she like Falls overboard at some point like he
• 1:19:35
  has to say we're good. She can't Swim.
• 1:19:37
  I'm like this is never ending. It's called someone likes comedy
• 1:19:42
  set piece after another of course he saves her life and it
• 1:19:48
  looks like she's drowning in a cup of water, though.
• 1:19:50
  Like the water level is not very deep.
• 1:19:54
  Well, there's two scenes of fighting over the bed because in
• 1:19:57
  the like yacht or whatever and then also the yes, guest houses
• 1:20:02
  and then the get right? And then in the actual house
• 1:20:05
  that Yeah, they're staying at a bun.
• 1:20:09
  I like this moment to is when after he saves her, he feels her
• 1:20:11
  forehead to gauge if you see if she's got a fever because she
• 1:20:14
  was sick before. So he knows that she's prone to
• 1:20:17
  these high fevers or whatever and she just got completely
• 1:20:21
  submerged. So I like it.
• 1:20:23
  He's caring for her in like his own way.
• 1:20:27
  Yeah, I also like the fight over the bed when the actual bed in
• 1:20:30
  there that it's that one is that was so funny, all-time all-time.
• 1:20:35
  Yeah, yeah, there's Rolling around like yanking covers and
• 1:20:39
  like, you know, like trying to like, hog the bed.
• 1:20:41
  Yeah. Because he says seductive
• 1:20:43
  seductively that they can share the bed and she's like no goes
• 1:20:47
  outside and she calls his, she gets mad and comes back inside,
• 1:20:51
  calls. His bluff isn't how much she
• 1:20:52
  knows like the first bug experience of the show.
• 1:20:56
  Yes. There was like bugs outside in
• 1:21:00
  Thailand in the summer and she comes back and she's like I'm
• 1:21:02
  not sleeping outside. So she tasted like, rips off.
• 1:21:06
  Her little tiny sweat shirt that she was wearing and she gets in
• 1:21:11
  the bed with him and she's like, haha, I'm not that easy to like,
• 1:21:16
  you know. Yeah, he starts.
• 1:21:19
  Then he gets mad and rips off their shirt, which I'm like,
• 1:21:21
  here we go, shirtless rain again.
• 1:21:24
  Yay! Yay.
• 1:21:26
  And he takes off his. I'm sorry.
• 1:21:28
  He takes up the most space on the bed.
• 1:21:30
  Yeah. And then he tries to like me,
• 1:21:32
  they're like size difference is so comfortable to.
• 1:21:34
  He's tiny and very tricky. He's like bus and he's like
• 1:21:38
  quite tall and it's just so comic comic all the watch them
• 1:21:41
  fighting and on the bed. Right?
• 1:21:43
  It's great. I really like, it's not like
• 1:21:45
  weirdly sexual or suggestive is. No, it's not.
• 1:21:48
  Yeah. It's like like, like our youth,
• 1:21:50
  your brother over like space on the bench.
• 1:21:53
  Exactly. That's exactly the dynamic that
• 1:21:55
  they have. Even though it turns romantic
• 1:21:58
  that the early episodes especially feel like they're
• 1:22:02
  just fighting siblings. Yeah.
• 1:22:05
  Or cousins or something more. Cousins or something.
• 1:22:07
  It's Yak, yeah, it's just comedic tension, not sexual
• 1:22:11
  tension. Even though rain is shirtless
• 1:22:13
  and she's got a tank top on that.
• 1:22:15
  I don't feel like anything lead because especially if you're in
• 1:22:18
  2004, living in Korea and you love rain, or you at least are
• 1:22:21
  aware of how famous and popular. He is, and he's like out here
• 1:22:24
  getting shirtless, but then they're playing off this like
• 1:22:26
  Laurel and Hardy comedy thing like, during during all this, I
• 1:22:31
  think that was like really that was the part where I was like
• 1:22:33
  they're they're both acting pretty well here like in those,
• 1:22:35
  yeah. Mhm!
• 1:22:39
  He teaches her how to ride a bike.
• 1:22:41
  Oh my God. Which I just there's something
• 1:22:44
  about this. That really just scratches in
• 1:22:47
  it. It's funny when they're in
• 1:22:49
  Thailand because he's like why can't you get it?
• 1:22:51
  You're so dumb. Like, why can't you ride a bike?
• 1:22:55
  But then she starts wailing, like a kid when she falls off
• 1:22:59
  the bike and he goes, stop crying.
• 1:23:03
  I'll buy you ice cream and she's like, do you think I'm a child?
• 1:23:06
  To just, you can just placate me with ice cream cut to.
• 1:23:09
  She's happy as a clam eating her ice cream and they have this
• 1:23:14
  nice day out. On the town, where she's riding
• 1:23:19
  behind him on the bike. He's obviously riding the bike
• 1:23:23
  and they fall asleep on the Park Bench.
• 1:23:26
  Overlooking the ocean Sunset and I'm just like, this is it right
• 1:23:33
  here? Like, if you weren't invested
• 1:23:34
  before this, you you Should be invested by episode 3 with like
• 1:23:39
  then because it's not like enemies.
• 1:23:42
  Two lovers where they're just being like hateful to each other
• 1:23:45
  in a way that's so cynical. They are like obnoxious to each
• 1:23:48
  other and they're like bickering the whole time, but it's not.
• 1:23:51
  So like, I don't know. For me, I sort of don't like the
• 1:23:54
  lovers are enemies to lovers kinds of plots because it's, so
• 1:23:58
  it's just tired. And even in this show, I think
• 1:24:00
  there were moments where they got tired how much they were
• 1:24:01
  bickering until they were. But for these the First episodes
• 1:24:04
  kind of nice and they don't and it's also not like a Hi.
• 1:24:06
  I'm pining for you secretly and you don't know it.
• 1:24:08
  And now we're like, you know like little some one of them is
• 1:24:11
  looking longingly at the other is just like just a really good
• 1:24:14
  like it's genuine comfortable. Yeah they're getting more
• 1:24:17
  comfortable with each other and they're like genuinely like
• 1:24:20
  getting to know each other and like each other at the same pace
• 1:24:22
  which is kind of nice to watch. Yeah yeah.
• 1:24:26
  So from then on it just becomes basically record skip of a show
• 1:24:31
  because it'll be fight after fight after huge fight.
• 1:24:35
  He comes. I'm late, doesn't tell her he
• 1:24:38
  loses his wedding ring and she gets upset over and over again.
• 1:24:43
  And it's a just them making up with each other.
• 1:24:48
  It's the cycle, you know, fight the makeup, and then they fight
• 1:24:51
  and make up over and over again. Did you have certain moments
• 1:24:55
  that you really liked throughout the rest of their sort of like
• 1:24:59
  relationship where they get divorced?
• 1:25:02
  Look at her? But of course a glow up.
• 1:25:05
  We need to what we talked. That later oh yes.
• 1:25:09
  Yes we will glow up. Um but I have in my notes for
• 1:25:13
  young day who is played by rain, I wrote never not shouting an
• 1:25:17
  actor but has very little to do for some reason at an editing
• 1:25:20
  meeting today. Wrote squatting at her house.
• 1:25:23
  Essentially, he's a millionaire, you can literally live anywhere
• 1:25:25
  else. So a necessary.
• 1:25:27
  So that was like some of my hot takes where I was just getting
• 1:25:30
  pissed situation. So so let's talk about each each
• 1:25:34
  note. So the first one is Were not
• 1:25:36
  yelling. Yeah, rain.
• 1:25:39
  I mean I've Seen Rain and other things, obviously he can remote
• 1:25:43
  in different ways and not just holler the whole time.
• 1:25:47
  He is literally blowing out the mic.
• 1:25:51
  Every time he's yelling and the freaking Echo.
• 1:25:54
  That's in the house. Yeah.
• 1:25:58
  Unbelievable. How much he's yelling in the
• 1:26:01
  show insults, like like really Petty, but like so repetitive
• 1:26:04
  just honestly gets annoying where he's like calling her his
• 1:26:07
  little rice cooker. The me like kicking the pie.
• 1:26:10
  Yes, yes, like the chicken, the chicken or whatever.
• 1:26:13
  Like I don't know. Like she was getting so mad and
• 1:26:15
  I was like, on her side because I was like, this is annoying.
• 1:26:18
  She's like your brain doesn't work your brain.
• 1:26:20
  Like he is going to be calling her stupid.
• 1:26:22
  But like he kept saying, like something like you're messed up
• 1:26:24
  in the head. I like he kept saying like that
• 1:26:25
  and I was like this is so Tiresome right?
• 1:26:30
  Which is why I say it just becomes this repetitive thing
• 1:26:33
  over and over again and it just depends on the strength of the
• 1:26:36
  individual like thing that they're fighting about.
• 1:26:41
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
• 1:26:44
  I need to go back though it's and I don't know if this is the
• 1:26:46
  right time to get to hey Lon because this is the right time
• 1:26:49
  to get better. So let's talk about guys bitch.
• 1:26:51
  You're so she is the second second female lead.
• 1:26:55
  She is this prissy spoiled SS. And when she doesn't get
• 1:27:00
  attention, she is liable to just put herself in the hospital with
• 1:27:05
  some bogus psychosomatic illness.
• 1:27:06
  Yes, yes, she's physically making herself ill and its
• 1:27:11
  really annoying. That at first, she had these on,
• 1:27:14
  she could not detach herself from her feelings toward Min
• 1:27:18
  yolk and then lo and behold, he rejects her repeatedly and then
• 1:27:22
  she's all of a sudden like I like, you and Jay.
• 1:27:27
  Yeah, and I guess that's like the appearance of thicker
• 1:27:30
  afraid, her name in the show, her character, like, suddenly
• 1:27:33
  makes her piston-like pimp competitive.
• 1:27:36
  And, like, I need young day to, yes, like me again.
• 1:27:39
  And then she's like, upset, like both cases, shoes, weirdly
• 1:27:41
  obsessed. She's really fixing.
• 1:27:42
  I'm in hyuk that she's really obsessed with youngjae and I
• 1:27:45
  need like more backstory on this because like nothing they were
• 1:27:47
  saying, made sense. It's like, he's, like, I need
• 1:27:49
  rain is like, I needed to protect her and I used to buy
• 1:27:52
  her ice cream. And I'm like, what?
• 1:27:53
  Like they're talking. He's like, this is my first love
• 1:27:55
  but it's like Like stories from the second grade.
• 1:27:57
  It's not like junior high or High School were like a lot more
• 1:28:00
  like romantically feeling to be happening.
• 1:28:03
  So right. I was like I don't Justice.
• 1:28:05
  I don't get this. Like remember that time that you
• 1:28:10
  bought me ice cream after I got pushed to the ground by that kid
• 1:28:15
  in third grade. And I'm like, flirt grade.
• 1:28:18
  How do you live 25 years old? Why do you talk about third
• 1:28:21
  great for? It wasn't weird because it was,
• 1:28:24
  there's nothing. There's no stories from like it.
• 1:28:26
  I think an American stories, you hear like it sixth grade summer
• 1:28:29
  camp or like Junior High dance or like high school whatever.
• 1:28:32
  They're talking about literally Elementary School way, way way
• 1:28:36
  before puberty and and not to say those that's on a valuable
• 1:28:39
  time in people's lives but this like hold on each other that
• 1:28:42
  they have is so weird right based on nothing, the childhood
• 1:28:46
  and then he promised her to be with her somewhere to always be
• 1:28:50
  there for her because she used to get scared as a child
• 1:28:54
  sometime. Yeah.
• 1:28:55
  And he's like well, I'll protect you and it almost seemed like
• 1:28:58
  she was a substitute for his sister who passed away his
• 1:29:00
  little sister passed away from. Yeah.
• 1:29:01
  I'm assuming cancer because they mentioned she liked his new
• 1:29:04
  hair. And yeah, ill and he that's also
• 1:29:07
  why he's like a kind of in a fight with her dad.
• 1:29:08
  I think his own dad. I think because his dad was a
• 1:29:11
  doctor but couldn't see her. See ya Grudge there and so, as
• 1:29:14
  since he couldn't save his sister, he's trying to save Halo
• 1:29:16
  on and that's why he's stuck on her.
• 1:29:17
  But that was also like a weak sauce kind of story to me.
• 1:29:20
  Yes, yeah, that long when you have more like story, right?
• 1:29:26
  Better, reminisce about, right? And then same thing with minhyuk
• 1:29:30
  where he was, he was seemed like he was close with many have, but
• 1:29:32
  then, at the same time, it's like, I don't know.
• 1:29:33
  When men, whose birthday is and I'm like, what the fuck?
• 1:29:37
  What are you talking about? You don't know what menu, looks
• 1:29:40
  like a 30 year old man. How do you not know since
• 1:29:44
  childhood, if you've been friends minhyeok?
• 1:29:47
  Okay what has been hectic? Because he's like media Mogul,
• 1:29:50
  he's in the screen. Publishing, wait, one thing at a
• 1:29:55
  time. It's not because I'm not done
• 1:29:57
  with him on because I'm sorry I I'm not done with this girl.
• 1:30:02
  So hey one she just I mean at one point I think in episode 5
• 1:30:09
  she's having this pity party and it's in this case.
• 1:30:14
  She goes to like a bar or something, she's drinking her
• 1:30:16
  feelings and youngjae goes over to the console her and be with
• 1:30:21
  her. And just sort of listen to her
• 1:30:22
  issues because he's the sure The Crying Shoulder always.
• 1:30:26
  For her. And he and I mean, jung-jae ends
• 1:30:29
  up standing up, don't kill his character but that's a separate
• 1:30:33
  issue. And one says, I feel like dying
• 1:30:38
  Because our second male lead minhyuk said that she doesn't
• 1:30:43
  love him. She just wants to possess him.
• 1:30:48
  And I was like minhyeok Bravo because she if I mean the truth
• 1:30:53
  hurts. Yeah it's not it's absolutely
• 1:30:56
  true that her love was all about infatuation and possession and
• 1:31:00
  that's why when suddenly youngjae was unavailable to her
• 1:31:04
  because he got married. She was like, oh, she's been
• 1:31:07
  taken from me? Yeah, she was entitled to him.
• 1:31:11
  It's like her. But yeah, exactly.
• 1:31:13
  Yeah. Super toxic.
• 1:31:14
  Super rude. So I don't like him.
• 1:31:17
  One seemed like she liked him in heck.
• 1:31:19
  I don't know if this I was reading too much into this, but
• 1:31:21
  I still like minhyeok is like a status thing to like she didn't
• 1:31:23
  really even know him that well and was look at this like Dapper
• 1:31:27
  dashing like I speak three languages and I have like you
• 1:31:30
  know, the CEO all these companies or whatever he's doing
• 1:31:33
  and she just wanted like the idea of him and that's maybe why
• 1:31:36
  he was also kind of like no bro. Like it's not happening.
• 1:31:39
  Yeah. She's like Cloud chasing.
• 1:31:40
  Yeah. And then I she works in fashion
• 1:31:44
  has like zero clients other than than Reigns.
• 1:31:48
  I was like, what up, what a burn.
• 1:31:52
  Wow, what an observation? Yeah.
• 1:31:53
  Absolutely. She had no other celebrity
• 1:31:55
  clients except for youngjae and every time every single time
• 1:32:00
  that we see her working, she's just fiddling with the clothes
• 1:32:04
  on the rack. Like, what the hell was she even
• 1:32:06
  doing? What she just looking at the
• 1:32:07
  clothes, every time you see her at work, which is often they
• 1:32:11
  reuse this set a lot? Yeah, she's just looking at
• 1:32:14
  clothes, just browsing the racks.
• 1:32:17
  And then if someone walks up and is like, hey one, she's like,
• 1:32:20
  oh, hey, what are you doing here?
• 1:32:22
  Yeah, she also looks to them like, all right, there, youngjae
• 1:32:26
  youngjae. Okay, and like, who else comes
• 1:32:28
  here? Like I don't understand.
• 1:32:31
  Yeah. And then does she own this shop?
• 1:32:34
  Or is she an amazing stylist, a designer.
• 1:32:38
  But I think she's a style like the car designer.
• 1:32:40
  Like that's her story and her designs, but I was like, I don't
• 1:32:43
  know, I don't know, like that one sad rack and not much else.
• 1:32:47
  I need a couple of Because they show a few other rocks, but not
• 1:32:49
  that much, because not like this popping League or, yeah, I don't
• 1:32:53
  know what it is. Yeah, she lost a lot of points
• 1:32:56
  for me when she had the psychosomatic illness, and then
• 1:33:00
  she starts in on ji Ahn, sung-ki kills character, and she
• 1:33:07
  insinuates that she's out of his League.
• 1:33:09
  Yeah. But then she hides the wedding
• 1:33:12
  ring, don't forget that part. Yeah.
• 1:33:14
  Oh God. I'm so I said that wrong.
• 1:33:16
  She insinuates that he's out of her League.
• 1:33:19
  Yes. Yes.
• 1:33:20
  And that they've been friends a long time.
• 1:33:22
  That's not about to change because he's married now and she
• 1:33:25
  full-on steals the wedding ring that he leaves behind at her
• 1:33:31
  place of business and huge huge. Like I don't think she could
• 1:33:36
  come back from that. But yeah, well I I thought this
• 1:33:41
  for both ginni and Dong-wook Who are the Mary like unmarried
• 1:33:45
  common-law married like about to have a non-existent baby people.
• 1:33:47
  Yes, it could. Hey, I want that.
• 1:33:49
  They are all three of them are so crazy.
• 1:33:52
  Crazy lie. Brazen like you're going to
• 1:33:55
  steal your best friend's house and sell it to someone from cash
• 1:33:58
  like Fast Cash and you're like, unapologetically showing up
• 1:34:01
  every five seconds, that's those two.
• 1:34:02
  And then, hey, one trying to, like come at this, married
• 1:34:05
  woman, it doesn't matter how, or what, circumstances under, which
• 1:34:08
  they're married or like, what you think about whether or not
• 1:34:10
  she deserves him. Like it was just Brazen and
• 1:34:12
  that. Yeah, see of these people.
• 1:34:14
  Killing me. Yes, I agree completely but we
• 1:34:18
  got some good moments because of these people.
• 1:34:21
  And here's two of my favorite ones.
• 1:34:22
  So for the two best friends, who should be shot, they get into a
• 1:34:27
  huge fight with rain because they show up at the house
• 1:34:29
  looking for home girl, and she's not in, so they just stay until
• 1:34:35
  she comes and he's like, okay, do what you do as you please and
• 1:34:38
  goes upstairs, leaves them to their own devices on the first
• 1:34:42
  floor and they start eating up. The pantry like she's chopping
• 1:34:45
  up fruit as if it's her own house and he's trying on rains
• 1:34:49
  close. Yeah, they're opening rooms
• 1:34:51
  opening closets. Yes.
• 1:34:53
  It's going through. Its, it's Bedlam.
• 1:34:55
  So he catches them downstairs, doing all this nonsense in there
• 1:35:00
  try. He's got his reins clothes on
• 1:35:03
  and my God race. She's Like Rain celebrity
• 1:35:07
  clothes are a whole atrocious, the best in the tight teeth and
• 1:35:13
  stuff. I don't know.
• 1:35:14
  Anyway, so the he I think rain insults them.
• 1:35:19
  He's like, what are you doing? Starts yelling at them.
• 1:35:22
  Rightfully, so and he calls them beggar.
• 1:35:25
  What kind of Beggars are you guys?
• 1:35:28
  And the bitch starts throwing hands and was like, how dare you
• 1:35:35
  talk to my hug? Dear, you like, touch my husband
• 1:35:38
  and stuff like that. And starts hitting up on rain
• 1:35:42
  and hit, like she comes home home girl song, hye-kyo.
• 1:35:45
  Gets home at that, exact moment and the utter look of joy and
• 1:35:51
  relief on rains face when he pops up and sees her there and
• 1:35:57
  smile. It's It's the smile that lights
• 1:35:59
  up his face. I love that moment.
• 1:36:02
  I made a tick tock video about because I loved it so much.
• 1:36:06
  And she takes his side. She's like, why won't you get
• 1:36:10
  your hands off? My husband and walks up and gets
• 1:36:14
  in their faces. And what does she say?
• 1:36:17
  I think the pregnant lady tries to block her husband from so
• 1:36:21
  many kills character comes in, pretty, odd, and she goes, are
• 1:36:25
  you the pregnant friends? Like, are you take?
• 1:36:27
  I can't believe. Taking your husband's side and
• 1:36:28
  she's like, yeah. So what and they cut terrains
• 1:36:32
  face and rains like oh my God, she's like taking my job.
• 1:36:36
  I right. It's like such a cute moment.
• 1:36:40
  He's like, ordering her around the whole time.
• 1:36:42
  Be like, hugging me? This cook me that and clean this
• 1:36:44
  to clean that. And it's kind of, really
• 1:36:46
  annoying at that point. But then this is like her domain
• 1:36:49
  finally, where she has the upper hand and she has the power.
• 1:36:51
  These are her friends, she can get overly friendly and familiar
• 1:36:54
  with them because they are her literal friends and he's like,
• 1:36:57
  I'm just try not to hit a pregnant lady.
• 1:36:58
  You know. Like he's like right right.
• 1:37:02
  But it was I really loved that moment to because she gets a
• 1:37:04
  chance to like be in her own like in that moment and stand up
• 1:37:08
  for him and her and likes kind of solidify their this like
• 1:37:11
  weird relationship that they're building even though they're
• 1:37:14
  calling you like husband-wife. That's not their relationship.
• 1:37:16
  You know obviously. But yeah.
• 1:37:17
  How dare you touch my husband? Like I just appreciate that.
• 1:37:20
  I never took care about marriage until now like the like the like
• 1:37:25
  that is sanctity of marriage until now until now Right.
• 1:37:28
  Yeah. How dare you touch her husband
• 1:37:30
  Todd? Are you get your fucking hands
• 1:37:32
  off of me? And then she scratches his face
• 1:37:35
  to like he has a little a little cut in space teaches.
• 1:37:40
  Did you cut that? You cut this hell, you Stars
• 1:37:45
  face or something like that. Like she says, how dare you
• 1:37:48
  touch his face? Yeah, it's great.
• 1:37:51
  And then she puts ointment on his little, on the little cut on
• 1:37:54
  his face and he loves it. He's like, right now, I'm right
• 1:37:57
  here. Likely And that's not.
• 1:37:58
  What's up bickering? And it was a full house.
• 1:38:01
  My favorite room was their bathroom.
• 1:38:03
  Oh yeah. Cause that's where they're
• 1:38:07
  always like having these like moments of for they usually
• 1:38:10
  don't fight in the bathroom or if they do it's like very Petty
• 1:38:12
  like like I like you but I hate you kind of fighting the there's
• 1:38:16
  like this intimacy there that they there's no other way for
• 1:38:19
  them to express their feelings more than the bathroom because
• 1:38:21
  it's like, oh I don't know if they necessarily literally do
• 1:38:23
  this. But like let me hand you this
• 1:38:24
  tube of toothpaste or like whatever.
• 1:38:26
  Like this is your child is my towel.
• 1:38:27
  That kind of stuff. So I really liked their moments
• 1:38:30
  in the bathroom, which was it will be early pivotal place,
• 1:38:35
  right? Yeah.
• 1:38:36
  And the kitchen to like the kitchen, the dining table, I
• 1:38:39
  guess. Yeah.
• 1:38:40
  Where the two big places? Because obviously, when she
• 1:38:43
  whenever she threatens to move out, or she believes for the
• 1:38:46
  night or she's out or something, he will look at her toothbrush
• 1:38:50
  and he's like, oh, I miss her, like he.
• 1:38:53
  Yeah, the bathroom is a good place and so is the dining room
• 1:38:56
  table. I love the moment with with what
• 1:39:02
  after he realizes that his ring is missing and he confesses that
• 1:39:05
  he lost his wedding ring to her. She, he feels extremely guilty
• 1:39:10
  and even though he's sort of like yelling still and he's
• 1:39:13
  like, don't get on my case. Like if I forgave you for losing
• 1:39:16
  that recorder, that I bought you for your birthday, you can
• 1:39:20
  forgive me for doing this. This thing to, for losing my
• 1:39:23
  wedding ring, and I'll buy another one.
• 1:39:25
  Don't worry, it's coming, it's on the way.
• 1:39:28
  She draws on a wedding ring on his little hands.
• 1:39:33
  Oh my God. I was like mad at myself for
• 1:39:35
  liking that so much. I was like, they got me, they
• 1:39:38
  got so good. They got me, I love that scene.
• 1:39:43
  It's so cheesy, but I love it and the way she backs into it,
• 1:39:47
  she's like, you know, I found the ring today, I just found it
• 1:39:51
  today and he's like, oh my God, where was it?
• 1:39:54
  And she goes, give me your hand and she starts drawing on the
• 1:39:58
  Ring and he's like, oh like what are you doing?
• 1:40:00
  It's so good. It's so childish.
• 1:40:03
  And yes, the way they like go about it and it's sort of
• 1:40:07
  refreshing because sometimes what happens is is you just
• 1:40:10
  heard he ducked event. Yeah, it's yeah, it's not that
• 1:40:14
  but it's still so good to not have that for once.
• 1:40:16
  I know it's almost I don't know, this is a very rated PG even if
• 1:40:24
  that rated G romance and I'm Eating it up, it's so adorable.
• 1:40:29
  And their moments are really pure when they're good, it's
• 1:40:33
  good. And when it's bad, it's really
• 1:40:35
  annoying. But you know they're just a
• 1:40:38
  couple of kids. I kept saying that in my head
• 1:40:41
  when I was watching was there just a couple of kids like
• 1:40:44
  they're they don't know what they're doing.
• 1:40:45
  They're in the early 20s they don't give it.
• 1:40:48
  They don't know how to love somebody.
• 1:40:50
  They don't know how to express their feelings.
• 1:40:52
  And that's the major thing about the show is that if you even if
• 1:40:58
  If you're getting frustrated that they can't just talk to
• 1:41:00
  each other, they have to have their own like immature,
• 1:41:04
  complexes that prevent them from doing that, it's weird to that.
• 1:41:09
  They both kind of understand each other when they pick up on
• 1:41:11
  these signals, when he's like, for now and talk to me by
• 1:41:14
  writing a note on the fridge or whichever one, you know, and
• 1:41:17
  there they connected or like when someone comes home, late
• 1:41:19
  and I go where you were, you waiting for me?
• 1:41:21
  Are you pissed off right now? And like you know they can tell
• 1:41:24
  like something up, but then like especially rains character
• 1:41:27
  youngjae Doesn't know his own mind.
• 1:41:29
  He's like so torn between Halen and daeun but then she's like a
• 1:41:33
  lot less confused about it. And yeah, I thought that was
• 1:41:36
  like, very like, like, Angry Young Man of them, you know,
• 1:41:39
  like, he doesn't know. Like, he's so confused.
• 1:41:41
  These he can't emotes and all this other stuff, he's
• 1:41:43
  emotionally mature is generally immature, but I just liked the
• 1:41:47
  way. They portray the communication,
• 1:41:49
  the fact that you could tell the, she's picking up, what he's
• 1:41:51
  putting down, basically. And though, he doesn't even know
• 1:41:52
  what he's putting down, right? It was great, right?
• 1:41:56
  I like that scene where they go visit Hawaii.
• 1:41:58
  One in the hospital because he's running sprinting to her
• 1:42:02
  bedside. And she, he doesn't need to say
• 1:42:06
  a word. She knows just by looking at his
• 1:42:09
  reaction, to the news that she's in the hospital, and seeing him
• 1:42:15
  Sidle up to her at the hospital. And just so concerned over her
• 1:42:18
  well-being, just completely cut up about heroin, she's like, oh,
• 1:42:24
  he likes her. You know, and I'll let me wait
• 1:42:29
  to go in the room. Let me just make myself scarce
• 1:42:32
  because this is who he really wants.
• 1:42:34
  And, no, words are said, right? Nothing is in the, this is all
• 1:42:41
  acting, right? This is not, you know, dialogue,
• 1:42:45
  right? And this is why it kind of what
• 1:42:47
  I was doing to before we're like, they didn't need to rely
• 1:42:48
  on flashy sets or a lot of different like on location
• 1:42:52
  shoots to convey a bunch of like, get your emotions turned
• 1:42:55
  up. It was like Kind of cerebral.
• 1:42:57
  You're like in their minds. Like there there's a lot of
• 1:42:59
  things were there alone sitting in that big empty house.
• 1:43:01
  Having like yeah, thoughts about each other and like, you know,
• 1:43:04
  they show a little bit of like, you know she's thinking of him
• 1:43:06
  or he's going to her like it's more even in their face when
• 1:43:08
  they fly in a pan back to their faces.
• 1:43:10
  And that moment just sitting there alone in the house, you
• 1:43:12
  can see it in their face. So I think both of them did a
• 1:43:15
  great job and they the directors and stuff.
• 1:43:17
  Did a great job of making that come through.
• 1:43:19
  Yeah. Did you like the movie theater
• 1:43:21
  date? That happened early on?
• 1:43:23
  So here's the thing I thought, Thought it was cute because he
• 1:43:28
  had to come in after the movie started left before the movie
• 1:43:31
  ended, this whole hullabaloo because he's a celebrity.
• 1:43:33
  But the clip the clip that was shown of what they were, what I
• 1:43:37
  was like, it's been Helsing with first of all, I think it was a
• 1:43:46
  trailer from for Van Helsing. Okay.
• 1:43:49
  And then when the movie starts going and Rain sits down, the
• 1:43:53
  music is clearly Spider-Man. Like the Sam Raimi Spider-Man.
• 1:44:01
  And I was like, holy shit. That's Danny.
• 1:44:04
  Elfman score from Spider-Man. So it, like threw me for a loop.
• 1:44:09
  Because I could not get into the scene without thinking Tobey
• 1:44:13
  Maguire's also in the room with it.
• 1:44:15
  Exactly. Exactly.
• 1:44:18
  Imagine. Oh my God.
• 1:44:23
  Yeah. Did you have other moments that
• 1:44:25
  you really liked before we kind of get to the divorce?
• 1:44:29
  Yes, I really liked. I know, we're kind of tabling
• 1:44:32
  minhyeok a little bit, but I just liked.
• 1:44:34
  How oh, yes, no, let's talk about him.
• 1:44:36
  I'm sorry. Yes, I forgot to go back to him.
• 1:44:38
  Sure. Sure, I know they were like, oh,
• 1:44:41
  he's a player. He said this, he said that, but
• 1:44:43
  like he was soda me and maybe I'm being fooled, but genuine
• 1:44:47
  with his affection for because I think it was mostly affection,
• 1:44:51
  really are like he found her endearing and it was last like,
• 1:44:53
  something weird or creepy. But G on that when she was like,
• 1:44:57
  she's like I'll buy you dinner. I'll buy you spaghetti.
• 1:45:00
  Like okay. Sure.
• 1:45:01
  You like it was like, are you serious?
• 1:45:03
  Like he's like having all these important fancy meetings and you
• 1:45:06
  know, meetings of Shanghai and meetings and wherever and doing
• 1:45:09
  Going to America and she's like, I'm gonna treat you at this.
• 1:45:12
  Like all you can eat spaghetti place.
• 1:45:14
  The spaghetti joint. He's like cool.
• 1:45:15
  Sounds good. And he like, lets her do it.
• 1:45:18
  He just like, lets her like, be who she is, and how she is,
• 1:45:21
  which is such a nice change. From youngjae it constantly
• 1:45:25
  berating her. Like why did you cook this like
• 1:45:26
  this? And why did you do this like
• 1:45:27
  this? And I need you home by this time
• 1:45:29
  I hurry up because of my term. You're like yeah yeah I really
• 1:45:32
  it was a bad case of like second lead syndrome like you should
• 1:45:35
  have gone with him sometimes with sometimes because up for
• 1:45:38
  this This is something that I don't know how the show managed
• 1:45:41
  to do. Maybe it's just the power of
• 1:45:43
  rain in this role, but for such a bossy, Road screaming match,
• 1:45:51
  kind of male lead. I never wanted her to go with
• 1:45:55
  men, yoke. I was always like, no, it has to
• 1:45:59
  be rain. I know he's an emotionally
• 1:46:01
  stunted and can't express himself at all and he's
• 1:46:05
  constantly making the wrong decision coming home late,
• 1:46:08
  standing her up. And God knows what else.
• 1:46:10
  And It despite all this I'm like it's him or nobody because like
• 1:46:17
  there's these are the only one who's a match for him, you know?
• 1:46:20
  Like there's no one else like on the planet.
• 1:46:22
  Who could be a match for youngjae's character?
• 1:46:25
  Right. Because lot, but logically
• 1:46:27
  minhyeok is such a great option. Oh, yeah.
• 1:46:31
  What I, okay. So, this away my prom with
• 1:46:32
  minhyeok was similar to like the lack of Baxter for him on which
• 1:46:36
  is like, why is he following this girl to Spaghetti Factory?
• 1:46:38
  Like go get another like millions of other girls that you
• 1:46:41
  can hang out with? She is nice, it's so bright and
• 1:46:44
  she's a bad writer. He craps her into a good writer.
• 1:46:48
  He's constantly critiquing her work and making her think about
• 1:46:53
  her her writing and the craft of doing a screenplay and all that
• 1:46:57
  crap. So he's taking mentoring her and
• 1:47:02
  she's so criminally unsophisticated and that's okay
• 1:47:06
  I guess but like then just be platonic I don't know this like
• 1:47:08
  trying to like win her over and like get her to see him.
• 1:47:12
  The way she could tell she was seeing Hong Kong Jay.
• 1:47:14
  Yeah, get it. I was like, why are you doing
• 1:47:16
  that? And let's choose a body.
• 1:47:18
  She seems so young compared to him, too.
• 1:47:22
  Yeah. Like unworldly young immature.
• 1:47:24
  All these things and he knows he's like, got really Savvy.
• 1:47:28
  I know I was trying to also decide if I thought he was a
• 1:47:30
  player or not even though we never really see him like dating
• 1:47:34
  there was at. Okay, so there was only one
• 1:47:36
  scene where he was with, hey, one in a bar and he goes that
• 1:47:41
  you see that girl over there, she She basically said she wants
• 1:47:44
  me and like, gets up and lie. Like goes to talk to this other
• 1:47:47
  girl at the bar and leaves. Hey, one hanging, and that was
• 1:47:51
  the only indication that maybe he slept around, maybe he had
• 1:47:54
  multiple women or something, but when he was with Hunty and she
• 1:47:59
  was completely sincere, and I love the birthday date that he
• 1:48:03
  goes on with her, or he tells her, that he does have feelings
• 1:48:07
  for her and that most girls like him, which I thought was a
• 1:48:11
  little funky. Him to say he was like, most
• 1:48:13
  girls really liked me. And he says, please like me,
• 1:48:16
  too. I'm thinking I'm thinking of how
• 1:48:20
  to take you away from youngjae. And he tells her out, right?
• 1:48:24
  Like, I'm looking to steal you away from youngjae.
• 1:48:26
  I know that he likes. Hey Juan, I know there's issues.
• 1:48:29
  I know the Contract Marriage situation, like the berating
• 1:48:33
  constant Brooke. She he was mistreating her
• 1:48:35
  young. Yeah.
• 1:48:37
  So Min hyuk was, like, you deserve better.
• 1:48:39
  I could. Yeah, you could be better off
• 1:48:41
  with me. It said, Surah.
• 1:48:42
  So yeah, and he says likes him a lot, but I know there's
• 1:48:48
  something about it that didn't sit right with me.
• 1:48:51
  And there's something about rain that I was like, that's the one,
• 1:48:53
  that's the one that she did. So, I don't know what it is.
• 1:48:56
  It's really bizarre. It is because it's bizarre and I
• 1:48:59
  wonder why she like charged him in yet because I can kind of see
• 1:49:01
  how she Charmed rains character youngjae because John Jay was
• 1:49:05
  used to like everyone just like falling all over themselves for
• 1:49:07
  him. But many of them eniac a little
• 1:49:09
  bit of that to mean you is like too cool for all that so that
• 1:49:12
  when he still pursued her after a while, I was like I don't
• 1:49:15
  understand why your soul I It is, is like we said before rain
• 1:49:19
  and some guy kills character, they're just a couple of kids.
• 1:49:23
  And maybe it's the fact that it's feels like, you know, this
• 1:49:27
  is a side note but my parents got married when they were real
• 1:49:29
  young, 20 years old, right? This is unheard of today, like
• 1:49:33
  people get married when they're older today, just that's the
• 1:49:36
  trend and they have these crazy stories of them being young and
• 1:49:41
  married. And I'm like, y'all were just
• 1:49:43
  stupid together and like, growing up together.
• 1:49:47
  And going to college together. And it was very like their
• 1:49:50
  stories felt in a real way, like the vibe of Han Jian and
• 1:49:57
  youngjae together where they're just in this hot, they're
• 1:49:59
  playing house with that without the sex part.
• 1:50:03
  Like they're just like exact you digging around together all day
• 1:50:06
  long and fighting and learning how to make up with each other.
• 1:50:09
  He learns that she likes flowers.
• 1:50:11
  So he gets her flowers and, you know, it's very much a learning
• 1:50:15
  to be together. Her story for them and growing
• 1:50:19
  together and growing together and minhyeok is a straight
• 1:50:23
  meant, like a straight-up. A man, he's already done
• 1:50:26
  cooking. He's don't write, he's an adult.
• 1:50:28
  He's not a kid by any stretch, you know, so maybe that's right.
• 1:50:33
  Sure. Yeah and it just doesn't click,
• 1:50:35
  it's even more. Why I'm like, why are you so hot
• 1:50:38
  stock on her because I feel like that plot line of him trying to
• 1:50:41
  pursue her went a little too long because at first it made
• 1:50:43
  sense. She's cute.
• 1:50:44
  She's endearing. He's like got this like kind of
• 1:50:46
  vibes. With her and terms like wanting
• 1:50:48
  to help her improve her writing seeing potential in her, but
• 1:50:50
  then he just kept doing it for like a little too long for me
• 1:50:53
  was like, why are you still like hanging around sniffing around
• 1:50:55
  her? Let it go.
• 1:50:57
  Let it go. Yeah, I think it's towards the
• 1:51:01
  end of the show that we see some growth with rains character.
• 1:51:07
  And I love this conversation that they have at the dinner
• 1:51:09
  table in episode 11, where now we have minhyeok like trying
• 1:51:13
  really hard to win over hon Jian.
• 1:51:16
  And Reigns character says, now that I think about it.
• 1:51:19
  I don't think I've ever bought you a decent meal.
• 1:51:21
  I always stood you up Gian if you want to be with Min hyuk,
• 1:51:25
  you should date him. You don't have to ask me since
• 1:51:27
  the contract doesn't dictate, how you should feel our marriage
• 1:51:30
  is just business but your heart isn't your heart belongs to you.
• 1:51:36
  Who knew that youngjae was so woke.
• 1:51:38
  So yeah. Feminist is says, he's like, you
• 1:51:43
  know, I I'm post pretty shitty to you.
• 1:51:47
  Yeah. And many oak is over here.
• 1:51:48
  Buying you luxury meals, and taking you out and the types of
• 1:51:53
  dates that you like to go on or just like window shopping and
• 1:51:57
  out in the town and stuff. And he does that with you, he
• 1:52:00
  gives you what you want. He's there for you and supports
• 1:52:04
  why I liked minhyeok so much like she's like Like I just
• 1:52:06
  don't eat Street dog bulky. And look at through like she
• 1:52:08
  window shop and he's like cool. Yeah.
• 1:52:10
  And he liked so much of their marriage is youngjae just being
• 1:52:14
  pissed off at her for something or another and it is so
• 1:52:17
  emotionally. It's such an emotional like
• 1:52:19
  lightbulb moment for him when he's like, oh yeah, you're like
• 1:52:22
  a person with feelings and interesting, right?
• 1:52:25
  For me to order around, yeah, it's it's nice to see that
• 1:52:30
  growth and for him to try and be the bigger person and say.
• 1:52:36
  I have no claim to you, you know, which is huge.
• 1:52:41
  As I mean, even if this was written today, I'd be like shook
• 1:52:44
  about this. What I'm saying that I was kind
• 1:52:45
  of joking about him being so like you know, emotionally woke
• 1:52:48
  early emotionally in touch with like I mean I'm kidding but like
• 1:52:52
  you know what I mean? Like he's he's got this
• 1:52:53
  awareness that even in today's scripts is what you want us here
• 1:52:56
  in Chase, real life, hmm. You know, communication with
• 1:52:58
  people, you want to see them realize this, that, that your I
• 1:53:03
  am not in charge of you, you're not in control of your feelings.
• 1:53:06
  And that's not what this is. So you're entitled to your
• 1:53:08
  feelings, and you're entitled to your real, whatever your real
• 1:53:11
  heart is, right, right? So things spiral out of control,
• 1:53:16
  there's some crazy rumors about Jian being a gold digger,
• 1:53:20
  basically, and the family finds out about the contract marriage,
• 1:53:25
  and this is episode 14. Like I'm skipping way ahead.
• 1:53:28
  Okay, at this point had one has like, relinquished your claim
• 1:53:34
  on? Jane's character because she
• 1:53:37
  realizes that he has deep feelings for hundun and hygiene
• 1:53:43
  was like going to go to the Venice film festival or
• 1:53:46
  something with many oak and she turns right around.
• 1:53:48
  She's like I can't go imagine that.
• 1:53:51
  That would have been amazing. Yeah I would have had been in
• 1:53:54
  today's script she would have gone and they would have been at
• 1:53:57
  the Venice Film Festival, you know, they would have gone done
• 1:54:00
  the overseas shoot and everything but so she comes back
• 1:54:05
  home and there's this This whole misunderstanding because rains
• 1:54:09
  character sees them outside at the house not at the Venice Film
• 1:54:13
  Festival. He comes back to the house drunk
• 1:54:16
  and sees them together and he's like oh she loves him or they're
• 1:54:19
  there they have a relationship going.
• 1:54:22
  Yeah I thought the most heartbreaking part of them
• 1:54:25
  breaking up and pause and getting the whole divorce.
• 1:54:28
  Was her breakup with the family, her in-laws 100%.
• 1:54:33
  Oh my God, that was heart wrenching.
• 1:54:36
  Oh my God tattoo. Yeah, go ahead.
• 1:54:40
  Sorry to interrupt you, is that I am reading this one book about
• 1:54:43
  Korean women's rights movements and the Gold Digger part.
• 1:54:46
  And I don't remember what the word they used in Korean, but
• 1:54:49
  apparently, and I'm sure more so 20 years ago, but being a gold
• 1:54:53
  digger being pursued gold digger.
• 1:54:54
  As bad as it is in. America seems like a hundred
• 1:54:57
  times worse, maybe in Korea. And again, I'm not a creative
• 1:54:59
  person. So take it with a grain of salt
• 1:55:00
  and I read one book. So I'm not trying to say this is
• 1:55:03
  exactly true, but it's actually like kind of Of social, I don't
• 1:55:07
  want to use the word suicide but I don't know what other word to
• 1:55:09
  use for its to like, you know, for that kind of thing to come
• 1:55:12
  out that you're in a contract marriage with a celebrity and
• 1:55:15
  being perceived as a gold digger, it's extremely damaging
• 1:55:18
  to women's reputations in Korea or and again like 20 years ago
• 1:55:21
  more. So so that the family thinking
• 1:55:25
  that of her because I just read that when I got to that part I
• 1:55:28
  was like, oh no, this is like more even more worse than maybe
• 1:55:31
  we're perceiving it as westerners.
• 1:55:33
  So that was like, kind of heavy Said it was, it was and she kept
• 1:55:39
  trying to play it off like it doesn't matter what people think
• 1:55:42
  of me, I know the truth, but it was extremely stressful and
• 1:55:46
  heartbreaking for her. Especially when I mean the
• 1:55:49
  conversation that she has with his dad was the worst to me,
• 1:55:54
  because the dad says, I don't think it's appropriate for you
• 1:55:57
  for you to call me father anymore.
• 1:56:00
  And you were never really my daughter-in-law and I hope we
• 1:56:04
  never see you again. These are really and after him
• 1:56:08
  walking her down, the aisle and being so sweet to her and
• 1:56:11
  supportive of her in the family. Even in his Stern way.
• 1:56:15
  I was like, I was playing the ghost that play.
• 1:56:18
  I was honestly really cut up during this part where she
• 1:56:24
  loses. This father figure this this
• 1:56:27
  dude who was a stand-in and the whole going over to the
• 1:56:31
  grandmother's house in her. The grandmother doesn't even
• 1:56:34
  want to see her she's like Game for forgiveness.
• 1:56:37
  And oh my God, she's not giving it to her.
• 1:56:40
  I was honestly so difficult to watch.
• 1:56:43
  She was trying so hard and I think too, like for her in the
• 1:56:46
  beginning when she's like it's fine to rains character youngjae
• 1:56:49
  that it's fine. If they're saying that people
• 1:56:51
  can talk and that also, again, I connected to her kind of like,
• 1:56:55
  you know, I have no lineage, it's just, you know, I'm putting
• 1:56:58
  air quotes, I have no like history.
• 1:57:00
  Anyway, no reputation. Anyway, I'm already kind of seen
• 1:57:02
  as like an outcast because I'm an orphan potentially, like, I
• 1:57:05
  think She was like, whatever. I don't have any reputation to
• 1:57:08
  go off of anyway, which is a matter of people think I'm this
• 1:57:10
  like hateful, gold digger, but like you said it like wasn't
• 1:57:13
  something. She could like, sustained
• 1:57:14
  emotionally because it was taking its toll, especially,
• 1:57:17
  when her own in-laws, saw her that way, right?
• 1:57:21
  Right. And there's a, I think an
• 1:57:23
  episode 14. She gets home late and rain has
• 1:57:26
  been waiting for her. He's super jealous and throws.
• 1:57:29
  The whole minhyuk thing back in her face, which again, I think
• 1:57:33
  of a flip-flop back and forth over the same tried.
• 1:57:36
  And true fights. But anyway, he starts a fight
• 1:57:39
  and she's already just been through the wringer because of
• 1:57:44
  all of these rumors and because of his sort of constant abuse.
• 1:57:48
  And she says, do you even know what it means to protect
• 1:57:50
  someone? Is buying me ice cream when I
• 1:57:53
  cry protecting me. You don't even know anything.
• 1:57:57
  You know, nothing. You don't know how to like,
• 1:58:00
  someone don't know how to express it and you don't know
• 1:58:02
  what it means to protect someone.
• 1:58:06
  He's it felt like she was saying, he never fights for her,
• 1:58:09
  you know, real sense. And she was finally like it got
• 1:58:12
  to her by then she's like I can't deal with this anymore,
• 1:58:15
  right? So if he wants to be Petty,
• 1:58:16
  Batman, hockey can, but she was like, over it at that point,
• 1:58:19
  she's like, yeah. Oh my God, it was brutal.
• 1:58:23
  And then the frickin press conference to announce the
• 1:58:25
  divorce, which he says, oh, really great line in this thing.
• 1:58:29
  Or he said he's referring to her.
• 1:58:31
  Everyone thinks he's referring to some other woman but he says,
• 1:58:34
  she's just Terry and kind, but she's more special and precious
• 1:58:37
  to me than anyone else in the world.
• 1:58:42
  And he announces the divorce, but it's a divorce to protect
• 1:58:46
  her because of these like her. Yes, yeah.
• 1:58:50
  The media and free her because she feels, you know, he thinks
• 1:58:54
  that she likes minhyuk and she's trapped in this contract
• 1:58:56
  marriage and it's just sort of an effort to quell.
• 1:59:00
  All of that. All that noise, which makes me
• 1:59:03
  even more meaningful. Yeah.
• 1:59:05
  But at the same time, it's like he loved her.
• 1:59:07
  She loved him and they still couldn't work it out while they
• 1:59:10
  were still married. So, It's it's a little while but
• 1:59:14
  yeah, it's very emotional episode 15.
• 1:59:17
  We find out he's been in a monastery for months, get the
• 1:59:22
  fuck out. Fuck outta here with that shit.
• 1:59:26
  Which opening me how many months did you say?
• 1:59:27
  Because I couldn't figure out how long a mic what time had
• 1:59:30
  passed since they're divorced. So I think it only been a few
• 1:59:33
  months. I because like, her hair friend,
• 1:59:37
  the friend is still supposedly pregnant.
• 1:59:40
  True. True.
• 1:59:40
  True. Okay.
• 1:59:42
  So, even though the friend is not pregnant, she didn't even
• 1:59:44
  make an effort to look like she was pregnant, she is still
• 1:59:47
  within the nine months of pregnancy.
• 1:59:51
  I think she found out, she got pregnant like the day.
• 1:59:53
  It happened, the way that this pregnancy right week of week of.
• 2:00:03
  Yeah. No.
• 2:00:05
  But yeah, her hair was so much longer by.
• 2:00:07
  Yeah. And she's like, her like glow up
• 2:00:09
  that we reference little bit before the glut she look.
• 2:00:12
  Crash in the house, because she can do what she wants now,
• 2:00:14
  because he's not there and like yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:00:17
  She has the pigsty is back in the house, but she's a full-time
• 2:00:21
  writer. A serious screenplay doing.
• 2:00:26
  I guess her screenplay is seriously.
• 2:00:27
  Going to be made into a movie and they're shopping around
• 2:00:31
  looking for actors and stuff. So she's Bonafide.
• 2:00:35
  Like she's legitimate. She doesn't need his money.
• 2:00:38
  She doesn't need his clout. She obviously doesn't need The
• 2:00:42
  pettiness and him ordering her around.
• 2:00:44
  She doesn't need a maid or anybody to clean up after her.
• 2:00:47
  She doesn't care and the fashion glow up.
• 2:00:51
  I don't know why she just looks better after the divorce.
• 2:00:53
  I gosh. So they made her look.
• 2:00:55
  I feel like as she is. So beautiful song Hit.
• 2:00:57
  Kill is just a yes lady and I like you could find at 23.
• 2:01:02
  I mean she's just you know. Yeah I'm unblemished that
• 2:01:06
  there's nothing to like the cheese.
• 2:01:08
  Yeah you know but the her prime so so kindergarten Like tacky
• 2:01:12
  and to fit her character. Yeah.
• 2:01:14
  Earlier episodes. And then we get to this episode
• 2:01:16
  and she's just like, you know Herbal Essences or like so I'm
• 2:01:19
  like, oh my God. Like maybe she just looks weird.
• 2:01:22
  Yeah, she just looks more sophisticated.
• 2:01:24
  More elegant will put together. Yeah.
• 2:01:27
  Yeah, her style is just you better make up.
• 2:01:30
  Yeah, her style has just metamorphic it.
• 2:01:34
  Why that happens like, oh, true other than like, the
• 2:01:38
  post-breakup glow up is his real identity.
• 2:01:42
  It's all like I'm trying to upset, right?
• 2:01:44
  Right. Right.
• 2:01:48
  And then he ends up rushing back because don't woke that friend
• 2:01:53
  that swindled her says that. She's sick hanji and is sick.
• 2:01:57
  And he's like, what if he comes back to the house, he did.
• 2:02:01
  I like how you didn't even care of those grandmas.
• 2:02:02
  Like he's like she got sick all the time and he's like, okay
• 2:02:04
  well hunch, he's like he's like wait what?
• 2:02:06
  I gotta go. You're absolutely right because
• 2:02:12
  Don't look, just like your mom. I've your grandmother's in the
• 2:02:14
  hospital in the hospital and he's like, yeah, she's old, and
• 2:02:18
  it happens, you know, He's like thoughts and prayers anyway, so
• 2:02:25
  Rose praise. Yeah, but there is a huge
• 2:02:30
  emphasis in the final Apple couple of episodes on asking the
• 2:02:35
  dad, his dad for forgiveness, asking the family for
• 2:02:39
  forgiveness, which I still find so odd.
• 2:02:43
  This doesn't necessarily drive with me and maybe it has to do
• 2:02:46
  with that culture. Bit that we're getting in mass
• 2:02:50
  in this show. But the filial piety, I mean
• 2:02:53
  that honestly threw me for a loop in the final couple of
• 2:02:56
  episodes. We're doing is like you can stay
• 2:02:59
  in this house if you apologize to your dad so that I can
• 2:03:02
  basically get back in their good graces.
• 2:03:05
  Yeah, I know there's some cultures were like groveling as
• 2:03:07
  like a very real thing. You have to do.
• 2:03:09
  I don't know if Korean culture is or was one of them or just in
• 2:03:12
  their family. That's like something that was
• 2:03:14
  expected, I don't know. It was weird, but there was that
• 2:03:17
  big emphasis like his to make this big formal apology and
• 2:03:20
  request or beg for forgiveness. Yes, on both of their behalf,
• 2:03:24
  right? So like it would also kind of
• 2:03:25
  absolve Jian if he did this. Hmm.
• 2:03:29
  So I thought that was interesting.
• 2:03:30
  What did you think of his proposal?
• 2:03:33
  I don't even remember it. Oh, my God.
• 2:03:36
  So he buys a ring thinking that she doesn't have her wedding
• 2:03:40
  ring from their contract marriage, and he presents it to
• 2:03:43
  her on the porch of the hot, what the back porch of the
• 2:03:46
  house, and I thought it was really cute.
• 2:03:50
  He basically says that it's true.
• 2:03:52
  He doesn't know how to love her or make her happy, but that he's
• 2:03:56
  willing to learn. If she'll teach him and he'll do
• 2:03:59
  whatever she wants, if she wants him to sing, he'll sing it.
• 2:04:02
  She wants him to dance, he'll dance, whatever she wants.
• 2:04:05
  And you know he tops it off with.
• 2:04:07
  Will you marry me? And she's like, uh, hmm.
• 2:04:10
  Yeah, it's coming back to me now.
• 2:04:13
  Yeah, action is what brought me back because I was like, kind of
• 2:04:16
  half listening to him because I also was like, not sure.
• 2:04:18
  Like I was like, I don't know why he's doing this, right?
• 2:04:24
  Kind of like hot and colds that I was like, okay, sure he's
• 2:04:26
  proposing. Uh-huh.
• 2:04:28
  Reaction of like, what are you talking about?
• 2:04:30
  It's been like six, not even six months, as we got divorced.
• 2:04:32
  Like I don't how it what it like, think this through buddy,
• 2:04:34
  like I don't know, it was, it was interesting.
• 2:04:37
  I think he was being sincere but he's still, it just goes back to
• 2:04:39
  his immaturity, I think tank, for me at least that he has.
• 2:04:43
  Still no concept of like, how to like be a person yet.
• 2:04:46
  He's still working that out friends, right?
• 2:04:48
  And it's the totally wrong timing.
• 2:04:51
  Yes, he does, he's just off. Yeah, he's just out of sync, a
• 2:04:55
  mature reaction to, like, try and resolve an issue.
• 2:04:58
  And it's like, okay, you thought, you thought this
• 2:05:00
  through? But you did not think it through
• 2:05:02
  correctly. So, but in the next episode, the
• 2:05:05
  last episode, she rejects his proposal.
• 2:05:08
  She's like, yeah, but he's like messes up her script or
• 2:05:12
  something. The computer doesn't save it.
• 2:05:14
  And her work is lost. And then on top of that, she's
• 2:05:18
  like what did you do? No, we did not have the And plus
• 2:05:22
  0, when she delivers, one of the scripts to minhyuk, she gives
• 2:05:26
  him a floppy disk. Oh, right.
• 2:05:30
  And I was like, oh, like my heart, my heart, the floppy
• 2:05:35
  disk, that's like a sign, I know, I know.
• 2:05:40
  But anyway, she and then he says that she has no Talent when she
• 2:05:43
  starts. Like what did you do?
• 2:05:44
  To my computer? I can't find my work.
• 2:05:45
  It's all gone. And she's upset and he says,
• 2:05:48
  well, you don't even have any Talent anyways, and she's Well
• 2:05:51
  you know what? We're not getting married, but
• 2:05:54
  I'm saying no to your proposal and it's so good.
• 2:05:59
  I just love it because of course, she's gonna say no.
• 2:06:03
  Like, he's not at this point. What?
• 2:06:06
  What has changed right? Right, right.
• 2:06:10
  Yeah, it's just sort of this guy who thinks he can resolve things
• 2:06:13
  very like, neatly and tightly and he really glosses over a lot
• 2:06:16
  of nuance and like, you know, other like Logistics of things
• 2:06:20
  because maybe his life Was relatively easy as an as an idol
• 2:06:23
  or celebrity where people just hand things to or like on a
• 2:06:26
  plate and like they figure stuff out for you and you just have to
• 2:06:28
  go and do whatever they said for you to do.
• 2:06:31
  So he's trying to operate in this like way that makes sense
• 2:06:34
  to him, but it's like not he's not quite there and also I feel
• 2:06:38
  like rain rains dad in the show is very serious.
• 2:06:43
  I can't imagine that man has a romantic bone in his body.
• 2:06:46
  So I am sure that when he grew up, he didn't see a lot of
• 2:06:51
  Really good communication between his parents.
• 2:06:55
  So he's really just flying in the dark flying solo.
• 2:06:58
  Just trying to figure it out and tour.
• 2:07:02
  Little rain for a little rain. Can't get it together.
• 2:07:05
  They have the magic land date which felt a lot like Boys Over
• 2:07:09
  Flowers because he goes and stands on the ice rink for
• 2:07:14
  hours, waiting for her and she shows up late.
• 2:07:17
  It's very much like the Namsan Tower date from Boys Over
• 2:07:20
  Flowers. Yeah, and I like to see of him
• 2:07:24
  practicing, what he's going to say, yeah.
• 2:07:27
  Where he's like, yeah, that's not good.
• 2:07:29
  And he's like, he's really an effort.
• 2:07:31
  He's trying. Yes.
• 2:07:32
  He's like lacking and he's trying to achieve like maturity
• 2:07:36
  and adulthood and like this, like these trying to get to her
• 2:07:39
  level or like any level, that's not where he was, but it's cute
• 2:07:44
  to watch him kind of fall. Shut up.
• 2:07:45
  And then her still be like, bro, like what the heck?
• 2:07:51
  Yeah, then they have the ice skating day 2.0.
• 2:07:54
  And she finally shows up because they had an ice-skating moment
• 2:07:57
  earlier in the show and he's just falling all over the place.
• 2:08:00
  I want to reiterate something that I don't think there was any
• 2:08:03
  stunt doubles or stunt, oh my God, this production shirt for
• 2:08:08
  this because they were they were throwing themselves over a hard
• 2:08:15
  surface of presumably ice for this show for television and And
• 2:08:21
  it looked real and brain like he's very bright, right?
• 2:08:25
  Like I imagined something like like, you know, Park Soju.
• 2:08:28
  Now, trying to like fling himself, although they be like,
• 2:08:30
  no, no, like can't. Yeah, sure.
• 2:08:32
  You we need to have like safety stuff in place and they would
• 2:08:35
  just do not seem like any that was going on at everland over
• 2:08:38
  magic land on everything. Yeah, magical.
• 2:08:40
  And I don't know what the hell they were thinking, both of them
• 2:08:43
  were. Just honestly, I'm hesitant to
• 2:08:46
  fall once ice skating. They were, I don't know how many
• 2:08:50
  takes they did. They were Constantly looking
• 2:08:53
  fragile upon that did not seem particularly cold.
• 2:08:57
  I was like, sure. I don't think it was.
• 2:08:59
  No, I don't. I think it was like a chilled
• 2:09:02
  surface, not necessarily ice. Okay.
• 2:09:07
  But I don't know what else to call it other than ice skating
• 2:09:09
  because they were wearing ice skates.
• 2:09:11
  Yeah. They were.
• 2:09:13
  So, I don't know if it was just like, frozen concrete or
• 2:09:16
  something that they were even worse in a way.
• 2:09:18
  I feel like I don't, it was it look dangerous, like, What they
• 2:09:21
  were doing. So anyway, he finally confesses,
• 2:09:25
  I love you and the Zamboni driver kicks up some noise and
• 2:09:29
  drowns him out. Which again very Boys Over
• 2:09:32
  Flowers, which came a few years later.
• 2:09:36
  I guess, you could say it's the other way around Boys Over
• 2:09:37
  Flowers. It's like borrowing from full
• 2:09:40
  house because Full House is 04 and Boys Over Flowers is 09.
• 2:09:45
  Right? His final confession is good,
• 2:09:47
  though. I was like, you know, this is a
• 2:09:49
  pretty good one. He says, loving you is something
• 2:09:51
  I can't stop. I love you.
• 2:09:53
  I love you enough to make the universe explode or dry up.
• 2:09:57
  All the waters on the earth enough to divide my soul again
• 2:10:01
  and Scatter it. That's how much I love you.
• 2:10:04
  Dang, damn, damn, damn genuinely good blind from somewhat of an
• 2:10:12
  oaf who maybe got into medical school.
• 2:10:15
  So by the way, I speak to his personality, like I think rain
• 2:10:21
  is attractive but he has like whole, like sob story in real
• 2:10:25
  life is that he was too ugly to be an idol until I guess, you
• 2:10:28
  know, whenever he became one and rain is so cute in this show.
• 2:10:33
  Oh yeah. No, he is, but the Like the
• 2:10:36
  quote, unquote ugliness. Again, I don't think he actually
• 2:10:38
  is ugly at all, but like, he's not, he doesn't look like some
• 2:10:40
  of the idols, you know, like looking like anime at the time.
• 2:10:43
  Yes, looking very yelled. He was a, he's not like that
• 2:10:46
  either. So that lends itself to his
• 2:10:48
  like, bumbling this in the show because if he had looked like,
• 2:10:51
  just someone just like, cut with ice and glass and like, you
• 2:10:54
  know, looked very perfect because he, like, let's just
• 2:10:57
  say, what's a good Idol? That has like a perfect tan.
• 2:11:00
  No sound from Astro, is basically a Specimen, right?
• 2:11:05
  Right. If challenge new is falling all
• 2:11:08
  over this concrete ice and looking pretty worse for wear.
• 2:11:12
  A lot of the time and looking really stupid.
• 2:11:15
  I don't think people would believe it and being a doofus in
• 2:11:19
  manners and like, yeah, it's been the whole time.
• 2:11:22
  It like not just like the ice scene but all of it.
• 2:11:24
  Yeah, I wouldn't have worked in nearly as well without reins
• 2:11:26
  kind of like not. So like you didn't get past
• 2:11:28
  surgery like you said he didn't have like a quote unquote like,
• 2:11:31
  you know, beauty standards at that time or whatever.
• 2:11:33
  Ever a perfect face, it lends itself to his character, being
• 2:11:37
  this Goofy and ultimately endearing and do very annoying
• 2:11:42
  guy. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:11:45
  So at the end, we have a happy ever after barbecue, with the
• 2:11:48
  both of the fief of the leads. We have hail 100 and was
• 2:11:52
  shocking minhyuk. Both there at the barbecue.
• 2:11:56
  In fact, they carpooled. So the barbecue at the house
• 2:12:00
  gather, like, I don't know what was going on and, you know,
• 2:12:02
  they, I don't think they were together.
• 2:12:04
  No. Okay they're just happy in their
• 2:12:05
  lives like hey yeah yeah yeah. And I was like whoa, this is
• 2:12:10
  throwing me a little bit because they were so like many Aqua so
• 2:12:15
  great but then we have qualms with him anyway and then head
• 2:12:19
  one was like a terrible bitch to her throughout Taiwan in their
• 2:12:23
  lives because it later like I won, I won so fickle or
• 2:12:26
  something that she very easily like when she's in something
• 2:12:28
  she's in it which is as soon as she's out of it because she fell
• 2:12:30
  out of love with me Huck like in one second.
• 2:12:32
  And then she like She accepted their marriage is like You know
• 2:12:36
  despite everything real enough. She was like done, she like
• 2:12:39
  stopped obsessing over youngjae she yeah, couraging Jian.
• 2:12:42
  She's like yeah you should do this.
• 2:12:43
  You should do that. You should make up with him.
• 2:12:44
  Yeah, ever. Yeah.
• 2:12:46
  And then they just had this like report together.
• 2:12:47
  I was like, I get it. I also don't get it.
• 2:12:49
  Like why are you still around? Like I would be like, I would
• 2:12:51
  want her gone but yeah, I would want her out.
• 2:12:55
  I don't want her in my house. Yeah, she was like friendly nice
• 2:12:58
  or whatever later. I'd be like.
• 2:12:59
  Well yeah, don't be at my house. And also, we're going to meet up
• 2:13:02
  somewhere outside the hand on mine.
• 2:13:03
  House. Yeah, so yeah, that was a little
• 2:13:08
  bit odd, but okay, we'll take it.
• 2:13:09
  And then final shot is them writing bike together and she
• 2:13:13
  has her own bicycle It was great.
• 2:13:20
  Yeah. Full circle, full circle moment.
• 2:13:22
  Yes about the about the comic just to know if it was like that
• 2:13:26
  or not or like, I don't know, I think I don't know and I don't
• 2:13:29
  think I want to read a 20 year old comic right now.
• 2:13:32
  I don't think I had the bandwidth.
• 2:13:34
  I don't think I had the energy necessarily summary somewhere.
• 2:13:38
  Yeah, maybe true true. But anyway, we've come to the
• 2:13:42
  end of my notes. I don't know if you had stuff
• 2:13:44
  that you still wanted to. Mention before we get out of
• 2:13:48
  here cuz this is a bit of a long one but I think it's necessary
• 2:13:51
  full house is so iconic. Yeah, I don't have much else to
• 2:13:56
  say in terms of my notes although I did write in my
• 2:13:58
  notes, Han jihun work from home Pioneer, you're right.
• 2:14:04
  Because she was working from home the whole time the whole
• 2:14:08
  time. Yeah.
• 2:14:10
  But I had and I still haven't bothered by like the fact that
• 2:14:13
  we really don't know. Either how dire her
• 2:14:14
  circumstances were when her parents died she's alone in that
• 2:14:16
  house or how much maybe her friends all looks family helped
• 2:14:20
  her and I wish we had more of that.
• 2:14:22
  That's something I really missed even more than like Where the
• 2:14:25
  other two second leads were coming from.
• 2:14:27
  Uh-huh. I'm more of her like childhood
• 2:14:29
  stories. Yeah, the friends and because we
• 2:14:32
  don't really have a frame of reference for how much they mean
• 2:14:34
  to her. We just know that they mean
• 2:14:36
  something to her enough to keep them in her life.
• 2:14:41
  I want to know how mad do I need to be at this guy for selling
• 2:14:44
  her house up from under, you know, because I was already mad
• 2:14:47
  enough. But like if you're if you were
• 2:14:49
  her benefactor or your family was rather during your guys's
• 2:14:52
  childhood, yeah did this to her than you.
• 2:14:54
  Even scum here than I thought the right thing to do then it's
• 2:14:57
  even worse. Yeah.
• 2:14:59
  So anyway, I recommend this show a lot.
• 2:15:03
  Yeah, I recommend it to you. If you've come this far and we
• 2:15:05
  spoiled it all the things about the show for you great now, I
• 2:15:09
  think you should definitely give it a watch, even though it could
• 2:15:12
  be shortened, a lot of these fights just seem repetitive and
• 2:15:16
  the plot is not really applied, but it's fine.
• 2:15:19
  Like this really does work. I like this show.
• 2:15:22
  A lot is 4 out of 5 for me. And it's criminally dated but in
• 2:15:26
  a really fun way. I mean yeah it feels like a
• 2:15:30
  time. Someone gets a fax.
• 2:15:32
  I was shocked, but you and the flip phone, what she'd action.
• 2:15:40
  One last note is that I miss flip phones, the they're coming
• 2:15:44
  back the for the flourish the satisfaction of shutting, the
• 2:15:50
  phone after you had a bad conversation, you got in a fight
• 2:15:54
  over the Phone or he's not coming to pick you up.
• 2:15:56
  Whatever the case was in the show, I was like, oh God.
• 2:16:00
  I miss that. And the little charms that you
• 2:16:02
  put on the phone. Oh, I missed it.
• 2:16:06
  I missed it so much. Damn, I miss a flip phone and
• 2:16:09
  then they could throw the phone anywhere.
• 2:16:11
  They wanted the they'd have to charge it all the time.
• 2:16:14
  You remember, those times you didn't have to charge your phone
• 2:16:16
  every day because a text cost like 25 cents to send.
• 2:16:19
  So you weren't really using it, you are calling people, you
• 2:16:22
  couldn't go on the internet, it would charge you.
• 2:16:25
  Make the time and now, like I have a diaper on my iPhone.
• 2:16:30
  Like it's literally, it's, it's a baby.
• 2:16:33
  I have to take care of it. I know you look at it wrong and
• 2:16:36
  it's like, decides not to work. I'm right.
• 2:16:38
  It's like, software update needed God anyway.
• 2:16:42
  So, I think that on that note, we're going to get out of here.
• 2:16:45

• 2:16:48
