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

Ep.9--- So Ms. Nah has rejected HJ and told her to not see JH anymore, now while I understand her wanting to protect herself JH I think that is really going to far. So when SS has to go to the temple with the family we get to hear Manager Oh's story. So now we know how she fits into the picture here. So SS resigns and JH has to grovel and give her flowers to try to get her back. Did you hear the sound when she knocked him on the head it sounded like a coconut! We also get our toilet scene here (man there are a lot of bangoos in this show) very funny with SS talking about how the different blood types would handle the no tp situation.

Now I don't feel so bad about the way I dance after seeing another great turn on the dance floor from SS. I love SS's crazy broom swinging mom!! That was my mom's choice of weapon for awhile when I was growing up, my sister and I still make fun of her years later! We are a bit like SS and her sister! LOL!! She was great at the restaurant smacking anyone who got in her way! So poor SS quits and leaves and everyone is upset. Well we are left with a sad ending to a funny eps.

PFL yes it is the same place Han Yoo Il lived but his hallway looked much better , but remember he lived in the penthouse. I guess all the spoony rich young guys have to live there.

So SR you just got something in your eye? But you are ok now? LOL!!!

Buppy, Momo is the story that SS tells to Mi-Joo about a little deaf mute girl who is an orphan but the townspeople take care of her. It is a book by Michael Ende

I am so glad we are coming up with such great ways to be helpful to Korean charites. We are all such givers!! Now I am willing to put up any of the spoony men because I live so close to Disneyland and staying in a hotel is so impersonal and cold. I will be able to make them feel at home. In my own giving way!

I am surprised it was the President who asked HJ to leave and now don't want her at all. I think if HJ have reported to the President before meeting JH, it may have a better result.

pooka, after the np tp scene, SS spoke out loud that the veggies is good for piles to JH. He was so embarrassed. hehe

How different blood type handles no tp ...:
Type A - Patient and introvert - wait for cleaning lady to help
Type B - Full of confidence, believed that he can solved anything with 2 fingers
Type AB- Pick used toilet paper from the bin
Type O - Just walks out

Samsoon says she will use her socks

pooka it was a strange wind! We tough guys that are still into dramas can't cry, it's a genetics thing. LOL

I watched episode 9 as well last midnight and it was hilarious. Thanks for the recap pooka!

I have a few quick thoughts on the episode.
One of the hilarious moments in the club was when that guy asked jang and SS to stay behind since they were old. LOL

The fight scene between the mother and Mgr. Oh was also great.

The funeral scene with Oh and the family was also good - the story continues to slowly get pieced together and more truths from the past are coming to the surface.

Oh and since you all are such bathroom scene freaks, what did you think of that scene where Heon ran out of toilet paper?

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

Ep 10-- So SS has quit and is now getting rid of the stuff JH gave her. She puts that fugly suit (It looks like it was made from one of Liberace's old capes after it was shredded) in the recycled clothes bin and spreads the flower petals in the garden. I loved the part when JH imagines that Sam Sook (the stuffed pig) is talking to him and and tells him "I will peel you like a potato!!" and then he wakes up from his dream and finds out he is hugging the pig in his sleep.
Yi- Young and Chef Lee are now getting involved. I thought it was funny that he had to wear his lucky jeans that he always scores with. And Yi-Young leaving the note thanking him for his "services" with $100 dollars.
Hee-Jin has already been called SS twice in this episode by JH. SS goes to file the papers to change her name. So the guy SS liked shows up after her crappy date with the fat guy and again JH ruins it for her. I love his rant about their baby and how they almost have his mom's approval and finally he has to tell her then In Hae has burned herself to get SS to come back with him. After he follows her back home she tells him what that date meant to her and how she needed the loan to save her house. I love how SS can just lay it all out on the line. So at the end JH tells her he just can't stand it when she is with other men so she can't do that until she pays him back. Hmmmm I see he is starting to struggle with his budding feelings for her.......

Oooh, weren't they tricky to give us outtakes instead of previews? Very sneaky.
Well, like many strong women, given a giant setback, Sam-Soon went out and had a giant makeover! Knowing she looks great, she goes back out into the world and registers for her new name and even tries another arranged date. And even the date from hell turns golden when Mr. Right appears for the 2nd time! Only to be ruined again by Mr. Cute-and-Confused, who's lately been losing sleep over our girl. He deserved to catch a good headful of her purse, if you ask me. He follows her all the way home on the bus and is finally pushed into saying some pretty surprising words, especially for a guy who just asked Hee Jin if he should move in with her.

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

I was so sure that her ex-BF would be the one to walk in a crash her second blind date. That poor blind date. I think KSS really starting to convince him HJ was nuts, but not so much that he was concerned about her enough to follow when he pulled her away from the table. The stuff about her being pregnant was too funny! Another part that really made me laugh was the psycho stuffed pig. The way it flew through the air in his dream to attack him and for him to only wake up cuddling it. emoticon

Then he tried to give it away and the little girl said he was weird. Didn't he mumble something about her being like KSS

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

Either that ,or he said she would grow up to be just like KSS. Another thing I thought was funny was that he was UNABLE to throw that stuffed pig out ! The trash man gave it back , etc etc.

Heon is being ridiculous in Episode 10. He is being overly demanding but just doesn't know what he wants or wants to do. When he kicked the bike near the end was really out there.

By the way the scene with SS's sister and Chef Lee were hilarious. Is he really supposed to be a 30 year old in this series? He looks like 38.

It is mentioned or reiterated in this episode that SS has 2 sisters. Where is the other one?

Also when Hee jin and Henry at the restaurant. Do they really eat raw and alive octopus in Korea? What do they serve it with. That's a bit too much for my tastes. ;)

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

It's definitely time for some background from the fabulous fendercat on Episode 10! These are from his comments on the MNIKSS thread, pg. 26:

21:26) 'You should at least get a bag and wrap it up before dumping it' - Actually it's illegal in Korea to dump trashes without wrapping them with an official trash bag. (re: Sam Shik trying to throw away the piggie)

27:30) 'The Han word is Kim Hee...' - 'The Han word' means Chinese characters. Koreans used Chinese characters for long time despite their spoken language has always been Korean. Noticing the problem of different spoken and written language, the King Sei Jong invented unique Korean character system 'Hangul' in 1443 with his researchers. This move was opposed strongly at first by Confucians who regarded Chinese letters to be part of their tradition. This kind of thought persists through very recent times, so still many elders tend to mix Chinese characters with Hangul when they write something important (like official papers as shown here).

The reason why they require Chinese letter form of one's name is because it's on national identification cards. They tried to remove it when the design of the cards revised recently, but the traditionalist prime minister strongly opposed the plan. Anyway, younger generation don't know much about Chinese letters, and mixing them with Hangul has never been practical and almost meaningless (it's just like writing in English but use Latin word whenever possible). It's far better to study Chinese from the start since those Chinese letters used in Korea generally differs those used in China both in form and in pronunciation.
(28:33) 'with a face of good fortune' - it's a round about way of talking which means 'you're chubby' but it's used in comforting manner here. As explained earlier, they didn't have much to eat in old times so someone who eats much or is chubby was thought to be in 'good fortune'.
(30:28) About the last minute change of the name - The name written on the paper before she changed it to 'Kim Hee Jin' was 'Kim Ho Ra' which sounds even more strange than 'Sam Soon'. I suppose she chose that name only because she knew Chinese letters for 'Ho' and 'Ra' (she hesitated because she didn't know the right letter for 'Jin' before) but as she remembers the correct Chinese spelling for 'Hee Jin' now, she changed it in the last chance.

40:53) 'Your hair looks very good, did Kim Soon do this for you?' - 'Keum Soon' is a character from a contemporary TV drama <Be Strong, Keum Soon!>. She's working as a hair dresser in the drama and has '-Soon' name like KSS. BTW, as this backward sounding name indicates, the title of the drama is from a popular song of 50s which became a movie in 1962 and again in 2002 (completely different storyline).
(41:08) 'Actually the assistant head stylist wanted do my hair' - 'the assistant head stylist' is also a character from the same drama.

(47:05) About the food - urg... I hate it! It's basically kind of octopus (bit different species though) seasoned with large amount of red pepper. It's so hot that I couldn't feel any taste beside pain when I ate it. The second dish was a 'live octopus' which is dishful of squirming tentacles freshly cut off from an octopus. I suppose they tried to substitute something else for it because what is shown in close up is clearly not squirming or even looks like a tentacle. Maybe they thought it might not be appropriate material to show on TV. There're lot of controversies outside of Korea for a scene where the lead actor gulped down a live octopus in movie <Old Boy>(one of my favorite ). BTW, there're a few people suffocated to death by eating a live octopus almost every year. Live octopus don't have any special taste IMO, but the feel from moving and sucking of a tentacle is quite interesting.

Yeeeccchhhhh! IMHO.
