Always Current Discussions of Different K-Dramas: K-DRAMA VIDEO CLUB!
Aygoo! My DVDs arrived tonight and I watched the first two episodes, well, fast-forwarded through most of them. I have to be honest but this one is gonna be really hard for me to get through. I hope it gets more fun soon.
The production, acting, cinematography, music are really top-notch but it's been a bit slow and sad for me. The refreshing part of this series I have to admit is seeing the Korean war through Korean eyes. I've only seen the war through the American perspective -- M*A*S*H and other movies and it was just painful seeing the way the Korean civilians were portrayed (as pidgin-mumbling idiots and "hey joe!" whores.) The characters are believable and complex.
I am really hating the pearl thief mom and the Cruella Kim designer character with the scary makeup! Aygoo! Geeshin! Honestly I wanted the MPs to smack the living daylights out of the pearl thief mom. Can't believe she's still alive in episode 2! The parents searching for Jun Hee is pretty sad.
Do you think those left alive will have a little more fun in the 70's? Please say it will be so! Let's get out of the 50's soon!

Fashion 70s
buppy yes I agree it is hard to get into. As I said up there, so far none of the characters interest me personally. Stick with it though, I think the rewards will be worth it, however....this is a serious series from what I gather...So I'm not sure what "fun" there might be to be had. But we'll see when we move into the 70s..
pfl I'm talking about both hee families due to the cause and effect syndrome. If Kang hee and her mother didn't steal:
1) Joon hee might not have been at the base (remember it was her mom who egged her on prior, to help with the theft of dong-young's room)
2) Joon hee wouldn't have gotten into trouble where she was detained, yelled at by her mom, and eventually ran off the night of the attack. Which eventually got her sidetracked and joining the fashion group.
3)Due to that her parents kept running around back and forth looking for her, and led to the tragic "tunnel" incident of episode 2.
To a lesser degree:
4)Kang hee and her mom (mom got injured/shot at in the warzone when the chinese arrived) got split up from each other because of their actions as well.
5)Dong-young lost his mother's memento (for now anyway, but he still is going through the pain of having lost it)
Not to mention this was all going through a huge crisis/emergency/war point where all these incidences and pain are heightened exponentially!
Yes, I know I'm overthinking this.
