Re: Always Current Discussions of Different K-Dramas: K-DRAMA VIDEO CLUB!

SR I listed the movies I have left and a couple reviews over at the Gen Disc. I got bumped from that topic again and didn't know everyone had been business as usual there !!LOL!! I love Palace, they hooked me too. The leads look pretty young, we found out they are all in their early to mid 20's but the story is very cute. The lead girl acts a lot like Yoo Bin.

The next few eps are just jam packed with good stuff!!! I also can't believe that Yang Ja KH's mom won't tell Mr Ko where JH is , he has already told her he will still take care of KH and YJ can even move in with them, ooooh I wanted to slap her!! Well KH heard the whole thing so now she is really going to freak out. Her mom tells her the whole story outside the factory. Mr Ko in the meantime has been helping Tumy with her turtleneck shirts , he says he likes spending time with her and she makes him happy....hhhmmm. DY and P are trying to meet with the Chairman in HK and DY's dad tips them off about the double cross plot so they save the Chairman but they both get shot in the process.......ok now you know why I had to forge on....I will wait.....I will be good...

omigosh, this is so good that now I'm a day ahead! But I'll only talk about current episodes. Poor KH, she continues to slowly implode! Every episode she gets more pieces stacked onto her load and you just wonder when and how she'll snap. That crazy boozin' mom, how can she keep all her lies straight? And both our boys got shot - both??? what the heck?

Couldn't they just phone Pres Joong Iyn with the information? I don't understand why they had to give him a piece of paper and risk their handsome little necks?? It wasn't like the fact they were giving him an envelope was a secret! That shoot out was pretty exciting though!

Honestly, I am really hating Kang Hee's mom. SHe is so heartless and selfish. What a character! If there was ever a more godless, amoral character in any novel, TV show or movie she is definitely it!

Yes Asia takes so long. After 3 days they are still processing my order for MNIKSS!!!

Anyway episode 20 was great for all the above reaons you guys have mentioned. I really love the casting job they did with this series. I don't think they could have picked a better cast. Everyone fits their roles so well.

As far as Kang Hee's mom doing what she did, her lies continues and it's getting annoying. I never liked her. From the very onset I have been critical of her actions, but she had her moments of warmth especially to Tumy/real Jun Hee. However now, did you notice after Kang Hee overheard their discussion, she feels unloved and betrayed now. She made a remark that how she feels she's just a replacement now and she'll never forgive the father or something. I wonder if ominous things will happen...

The end of ep 20 was dramatic with DY and Peen getting both shot. They've been betrayed by their spy connection on their side... Peen should not have let his guard down, after the whole shooting incident he was just in some kind of daze. Then DY got shot...

I can't wait to see episode 21 tonight!

Re: Always Current Discussions of Different K-Dramas: K-DRAMA VIDEO CLUB!

I had a problem with Episode 21 for about the first 10 min: the disc kept stalling or skipping .I didn't miss anything ,but thank good ness it settled down .I 'm always glad with a big multidisc set when there isn't a major problem .
Where do I begin ? I feel sorry for everyone ,except of course KangHee's oma .The real JunHee's dad even brought the nun in to identify the woman,she still denied it.She is such an accomplished liar !

DY & Bin .SIGH> at least they're ok,but I still am worried about Bad Boy Bin .For some reason,I just love him ! I'm yelling @ the screen -Try the acupuncture ! I sure wish the surgeon could act !

Anyway ,this is one of the best shows I've seen .I think we're on to something really great >I forgot who said they don't watch KXLA cuz of the editing.I do watch one daily drama - Bizarre bunch - but I avoid all the 40 min ones. When I found out they trimmed 60 min down to 40 w/ commercials, I gave up .Here we have the best of all worlds. We pick the stories ,no commercials ,no editing !

I made myself stop,but I have a feeling tomorrow's ep is going to be reslly something !!!!! What a cliffhanger ending to this one .Does DY know?

Addie! crack me up! I was yelling at the TV - you dumb white doctor, you're in Hong Kong! Send him for acupuncture! I love Peen, too. Thanks for your astute observation that KH has never really felt confident or secure, that seems like a key to her behavior now and going forward. She's both defending and going on the offensive.
I keep forgetting to say what a great job I think they did casting actors who appear such a convincing father and son as DY and the General. I love their scenes together.

Re: Always Current Discussions of Different K-Dramas: K-DRAMA VIDEO CLUB!

Ep 21= they just keep getting better don't they! So both of the guys have surgery and DY is ok but P 's arm is not ok. JH's mom tells her that Mr. Ko can find his own daughter and she won't help him. I noticed another Fashion time slip up, JH is carrying a Kate Spade bag from last year when she goes to see her mom!? Oops! I am a nut for purses so it stuck out! Mr Ko brings the nun to ID Yang Ja and she still tries to lie! That woman!! JH tells her dad he has betrayed her because he is trying to find the real JH. Things are rapidly falling apart for her. At least this time when T goes to see DY's dad he is much nicer to her and tells her DY is ok and will be home soon. DY comes home but poor P stays in HK to try to come to terms the what has happened to his arm. Mr Ko tells DY they have found YJ and she will not reveal the whereabouts of JH . I love the look on DY's face when he sees the pic of YJ. Now what will he do.......I can't wait , but I will be good for once! emoticon

Fashion 70s episode 21 and 22

Lol that doctor from hong kong. Another case of bad acting by americans/europeans in K-Dramas. I love it! I'm becoming masochistic. ;)

Episode 21 was another extremely enjoyable one!

Great recap pooka. I'm happy to see both DY and Peen made it out safely. I think the whole Peen thing with his arm was an extreme exagerration though. I mean I know it sucks what happened with his arm, but at least he made it out alive! What did he expect from taking on a mission this dangerous. It's better to lose usage of something like that than his eyes, ears or legs.

Does anyone know the music that plays during the early part of the episode during the gun fight? I have heard this music in other places for a long time now. So I'm wondering if they licensed the music from elsewhere? The music I'm talking about starts at ( 27 seconds ) it comes in with that Choir, strings and synths. I know I've heard this piece elswhere in American tv but I can't put my finger on it. I want to find it badly.

Anyway going on with the rest of the episode..... Kang Hee's bad side is starting to manifest itself. She's jealous that Tumy (Jun Hee) is getting everything. First Dong Young, then now is getting the accolades from Chang Bong Sil, and now possibly the father.

The mother is now caught red handed as now Dong Young knows, and the nun as well pointed her out.

I liked the scene where Tumy visits the Minister (DY's father). He was actually nice to her this time.

As pooka said, the episode comes to a climactic finish when DY sees the paperwork identifying (Kang Hee's mother) who took the real Jun Hee.

Episode 22

I watched this a few hours earlier than normal. Skip this if you haven't seen ep 22 yet!

And as if you thought things couldn't get better, episode 22 does. I love all the goings on in this episode. Dong Young goes to find the real Jung Hee/Tumy. He tells the father to be patient a little while longer. He decides not to tell her once he realizes who Tumy really is.

Things are heating up in the Chang Bong Sil Ensemble, as both Kang Hee and Tumy got a tie for the Osaka fashion show debut. Chang Bong sil will debut both of them together as well!

DY takes Tumy to Deagu and after a lot of pain, she finally remembers the past happenings! Major climactic moment there. However... She doesn't want anyone to know...she doesn't want to bring pain to her mother and kang hee. Why is it with all these Kdramas anytime the real daughter is robbed of something, once the truth comes out...they don't want to act on that truth? Instead they always keep thinking of others or less imporant figures. In this case Tumy is not thinking about her father. I know she loves Kang Hee's mother but what about the pain her father has endured for 17 years or what he could endure for the rest of his life? Her father will probably look for her or remain restless for his entire life or may die from heartache due to not fulfilling JH's real mother's death wish of finding JH... Is this fact being lost by the story writers or even Tumy from her point of view? Why is all the injustice by others always glossed over by the heroes or heroines of Kdramas...they never want to claim what is rightfully theirs.

Throughout this whole episode Kang Hee is feeling hurt and in my opinion is acting like a spoiled child. She feels rejected by both her parents, but she's still only thinking of herself.

I'm happy to see Mr. Ko's right hand man is acting as the voice of reason in the series. Ko is starting to relent and wondered what about Kang hee, then the assistant reminded him, what about the real Jun Hee who had lost out from his love for almost 2 decades. I forgot which episode this happened in, so this is sorta a random comment from me.

The end of ep 22 was sad. Since Tumy remembered all what had happened in the past, she was feeling sad that she missed Kang Hee, she also gave her a hug...and the episode finished.

The preview to the next episode was actually one of the rare bloopers. I think we've only seen this once or twice before. I love these blooper scenes! I wish like the super rookie box set we got bloopers/extras.

Anyway I can't wait to see episode 23 tomorrow night. We have only 6 episodes to go. I don't want this magical experience to end!

Re: Always Current Discussions of Different K-Dramas: K-DRAMA VIDEO CLUB!

I skipped the recap on ep 22 as I have yet to watch it - I'll come back to it later .I just had to make a smart remark about that MD ! If we were all on a tour bus in SO Korea,and they stopped us and asked us to be in a kdrama - we could do better than that ! Where are they getting these people...it's embarassing ! (On the other hand ,he wasn't as bad as the couple in PFL- they were excrusiatingly bad !)

I hope that Bin's character comes to terms with his disability with time. I am uneasy that he insisted on staying in HK alone .I agree w/SR that it is not legs,eyes etc. When the character said he couldn't dance or anything.....I was like " Bin ! You can hug me with one arm ! Over here !"

I am still willing to cut KangHee slack .One line she said to her father rang true...it was like "if you found JunHee ,then who am I ? " Overnight ,she's supposed to be Kang Hee again ? The dad wouldn't even discuss it with her previously when she wanted it .

I have no such feelings for KangHee's mom.She is just bad .

Episode 22 - does it get any better than this ? What a powerful episode !
This is why I watch Kdramas ! I can't believe the twists & turns on this one .When Duomei's memories were coming back- what an incredible scene...but when she grabbed KangHee & hugged her .........I'll have to come back on later . emoticon
