Latest project:

Did you know that the official novelization of Warrior Baek Dong-soo has a different ending, one where Yeo Woon lives?

The scene from this book where Woon and Dong-soo run hand-in-hand under a starry sky has been fan translated before, but now my friend Milliecake has translated the entire book. We’re posting bi-weekly recaps of each chapter with excerpts and commentary. There are lots of huge deviations from the show, including:

- The answer to Jin-joo’s parentage takes a very different turn

- Hong never even attempts a coup

- Everything between Chun and Gwang-taek plays out differently

- There’s no gross proposals for the girls and nobody asks Jin-joo to put down her sword

- Cho-rip was never meant to be a rotten bastard

- Ji-sun actually has lines

- And Woon’s ultimate fate? It’s never been done in fanfiction before, and it’s fabulous.

If you’re curious about all the ways in which Episode 29 really robbed us, come have a read. We’re two chapters in with 28 to go!

Today's Webtoon

For someone that likes to read webtoons, this series was so nice to watch. It gives us a window to how webtoon creation and publication works. I like the characters: artists and the PDs. Their stories ranged from sweet to sad, but it was great to see the all reached their own happiness. Even though this series is not a romantic drama, it did have its romantic touches that made it sweeter. It leaves this subplot in the opening as they accomplish their dream as a team and move on to the next collective dream. I wonder what will happen with Oh Ma Eum's relationship with Seok Ji Hyung and Jun Yeong. But even though it leaves that question open, it doesn't leave me disappointed or wanting to know what happens. I think that it just reminds us that life continues even after one chapter of our lives ends and things will happen at their own sweet time, there is no need to force things.

Work drama that will keep you smiling and cheering for the characters. Really loved it.

2018 SBS Drama Awards - December 31, 2018

Best Drama Award

Best Actor (Monday-Tuesday drama) (Lee Je-Hoon)

Excellent Actress (Monday-Tuesday drama) (Chae Soo-Bin)

İş ortamı konulu bir diziyle karşı karşıyayız. Zorluklarını ve kolaylıklarını karakterlerin hayatları ile birleştirip önümüze koyuyor. Bana ilk başlarda” Forecasting love & weather “havası vermiş olsa da çok geçmeden benzemediğini anladım. Dizinin yazarı Dr. Romantic dizisinden aşina olduğum bir isimken, yönetmeni ise Secret Garden dizisinden biliyoruz. Bu seferki iş ortamımız; havaalanı. Han Yeo-Reum (Chae Soo-Bin), havaalanında istediği departmanda çalışmak için uzun süredir çabalamaktadır. Sonunda istediği departmanda işe girer. Sakarlığı ve başına açtığı işiler nedeniyle sürekli dikkatleri üzerine toplayan bir kadındır. Tek amacı başarılarıyla dikkat çekmektir. İş arkadaşı Lee Soo-Yeon (Lee Je-Hoon) ise az konuşan, dikkat çekmeden yaşamaya çalışan sırlarla dolu bir adamdır. Sırrını yalnızca müdürü bilmektedir, böyle de kalması için dikkat çekmeden normal bir hayat yaşamalıdır. Yeo-Reum bir yıl önce başına gelen bir kazada onu kurtaran kişinin Soo-Yeon olduğunu fark edince genç adamın hayatı da istediği normallikten uzaklaşmaya başlar.

Soo-Yeon alışık olduğumuz yakışıklı Kore aktörlerinden değil. Oyuncuyu ilk kez izliyorum, kendince bir cazibesi var ama orta segment bir karakter olmuş. Buna rağmen oyunculuk olarak üst seviyelerde olduğunu düşünüyorum. Hikayeye dönecek olursak, Soo-Yeon 12 yıl önce geçirdiği bir trafik kazası sonucu bir bacağı ve bir kolu sakat kalmış, 1.derece engelli olarak görünmektedir. Ancak kullandığı onaylanmamış protezler ile dışarda bu engelleri belli olmamaktadır. Onaylanmamış bu cihazın limitlerini kendisi de bilmediğinden, sıradan bir insan gibi yaşamaya çalışsa da ne yazık ki sıradan olmaktan çok uzaklaşıyor. Sağ kolu ve bacağında his olmamasının yanı sıra protez takılı olduğunda normal bir insandan kat be kat daha güçlü olmaktadır.

Zaten işin bu tarafına girildiği zaman dizi bir tık fantastik bir hal alıyor. Uzunca bir süre seyirci içinde gizemini koruyor. Ne olmuş, nasıl olmuş, cihaz neymiş, neden takmış şeklinde. Bu soru yağmurunun ve gizemi bir yana koyarsanız, asıl rahatsız edici olan ise, güvenlik şefi ve yönetim şefinin cihazın varlığından haberdar olup bunu takıntı haline getirmeleri. Uzunca bir süre sürekli “o cihazı görelim. O cihaz ne? Tehlikelisin git buradan. 1.derece engelli nasıl böyle yürür.” Gibi cümleler kurup sorular sordular. Bütün bu kısmı, NE OLMUŞ PROTEZİ VARSA!!! Diye isyan ederek izledim. O kadar anlamsız geldi ki, anlatamam.

Dizide birçok klişeyi de yapmayı unutmamışlar. Eskiden tanışmışlık, tesadüf diye bir şey yok karşılaşmalar, birbirinden yanlış anlamasın diye sır saklayıp yanlış anlaşılmalar. Ailevi bağlantılarda var tabi. Diğer yandan oyuncular oldukça doyurucuydu. Chae Soo-Bin’i daha önce “I'm not a robot” dizisinde izlemiş, beğenmiştim. Daha sonra Love in the Moonlight dizisinde yan karakterlerden biri olarak gözüme çarptı. Angel’s Last Mission: Love dizisinin kara meleği Lee Dong-Gun, Hwarang dizisinin bencil kraliçesi Kim Ji-Soo, Tomorrow dizisinin asi genci Ro Woon, Strong girl Do Bong Soon dizisinde iki farklı rolde izlediğim ve daha sonrasında birçok dizide de karşılaşıp beğendiğim Kim Won-Hae, Vincenzo’nun dansları ile öne çıkan kötü kadını Kim Yeo-Jin, Mystic Pop-up Bar dizisinin gizli jönü Choi Won-Young.  Ve sayamadığım birçok başarılı oyuncu diziden gelmiş geçmiş. Bu açıdan çok keyif aldım diyebilirim.

İkinci erkek, ikinci kadın gibi tat kaçıran konuları çok uzatmadılar. İkinci erkek aynı zamanda kızımızın en yakın arkadaşıydı, öyle kalmaya devam etti. Üzmediler, üzülmedik. Beni rahatsız eden, kadın-erkek ilişkilerinden çok abi-kardeş ilişkisiydi. Lee Soo-Yeon (Lee Je-Hoon) ve Seo In-Woo (Lee Dong-Gun) üvey kardeşlermiş. Ne hikmetse, kaza sonrası kanlı bıçaklı düşman olmuşlar. Onların arasındaki bu husumet o kadar büyütüldü ki sonunda bağladıkları noktada hiç tatmin edici değildi. Gereğinden fazla yükseldiler. İkinci çift ise güvenlik ekibindeydi. Birbirlerini süzmenin bir tık ötesine gidemediler. Yine de ikilinin ayrı bir dizisi olsa izlenebilirdi.

Ve sonuç olarak, final… Galiba sonunda bir sorun yaşanmış. Dizi 24 bölüm olarak tasarlanıp, 16 bölümde bitmeye zorlanmış gibiydi. Fiziksel ve ruhsal engeller üzerine izleyiciyi düşündürmeyi başarıyor. Kore dizilerinin en büyük klasiği olan dizi sonu zaman atlaması tabi ki burada da karşımıza çıkıyor. Ancak buradaki sıkıntı dizinin bitmeden bitmiş olması. Her şey havadayken bir anda 1 yıl geçti. Ne oldu da geçti, nasıl geçti bilinmiyor. Neden araya öyle bir ayrılık girildi o da bilinmiyor. En komiği ise son sahnede başrol erkeğin suratını gizleme çabasıydı. 1 yıl sonra dönüp gelen adamın ense tıraşını izledik. Kime neye tepki olarak çekildi anlam veremedim.

Ayrıca, dizinin genelinde birçok şey cevapsız ve havada kaldı. Üvey abinin babası ile olan mevzu neydi, neden izledik. Kocası tarafından aldatılan çalışanın hikayesi ne oldu. Güvenlik şefi ve bizim ekibin yöneticisi kadın nasıl bir ilişki içerisindeydiler, üvey abi bu ilişkinin neresindeydi. Bu üçlü arasındaki ilişki neydi? Üvey abinin babasına ne oldu, neden görüşmüyorlardı? Takım şefi ile sakat çocuk nasıl tanıştı, neden kardeşi yerine koydu. Güvenlik görevlilerinin arası ne oldu, neden anlatılmadı. Gibi gibi gibi… Tavsiye eder miyim, ederim. Her şeye rağmen güzel diziydi.

Angel Eyes (kdrama, 2014)

"Angel Eyes" tells the story of a tragic romance between Park Dong Joo and Yoon Soo Wan.

The two met as teenagers and instantly fell in love. Soo Wan is blind, so Dong Joo was her way of seeing the world. A terrible accident happens and Dong Joo's mother dies, but she wanted to help Soo Wan until the end, so they performed a cornea transplant, allowing Soo Wan to see again.

The two end up growing apart and meeting again years later. Dong Joo recognizes Soo Wan immediately, but ends up keeping his distance from her because Soo Wan already has a boyfriend, Ji Woon. Dong Joo tries to hide his feelings and his identity, but Soo Wan begins to see similarities in him with the boy from her past.

This romance is one of the best I've ever seen in a kdrama. The chemistry between Dong Joo and Soo Wan is simply tangible. The intensity of their love, their connection is wonderful. I feel sorry for Ji Woon, but there was no way I could root for him, not with Soo Wan's past with Dong Joo, they deserved to be together, to be happy together, after everything they had to overcome.

We have moments of happiness between the two, but of course the tragic truth had to come out. When Soo Wan discovers that her eyes are those of Dong Joo's mother and when she thinks that her father killed her on purpose to get those eyes, the guilt leaves Soo Wan desolate, to the point of losing her sight because she didn't want her that way. She only finally decides to move on and forget the past when she almost loses Dong Joo in an accident. Soo Wan realizes that she can't change what happened, but she can be happy and be grateful for the gift Dong Joo's mother gave her.

This drama is so beautiful, in every sense. The couple, the story, the soundtrack… I don't even have words to describe the incredible experience of watching this drama. It's unmissable.

Added trauma flavour: Parent was murdered in front of them (**Still counts if they survived the murder Parent tried to murder them Dying from seemingly incurable disease which makes their parents/guardian sad (If your parents are alive, you must pay for it by dying yourself) Adoptive parent/stepparent is THE WORST

Somehow has normal, alive parents: Lee Jun-ho (Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Has no backstory at all. We only meet his older sister and hear nothing about his childhood.) Shin Ha-ri (Business Proposal, her family is refreshingly normal, right down to her brother being sent out to find her when she's drunk) Oh Han-byeol (Sh**ting Stars, Again, we know almost nothing about her family, only that she has twin sisters. But she doesn't appear to have childhood trauma.) Park Yeon-woo (The Story of Park's Marriage Contract, her mom being annoyed at her for something that is a crime doesn't count as bad parenting) Lee Young-joon/Sung-hyun (What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, his trauma comes from a kidnapper, his parents faced a pretty impossible situation and did their best. They clearly love their kids) Baek Hyun-woo (Queen of Tears, nothing wrong with them out of the ordinary and they are in the drama a significant amount.) Ha Eun-gyeol (Twinkling Watermelon, very loving parents and the deafness and their reliance on him is not anyone's fault)

*Counting her as an orphan even though she gets her parents back after 20 years, she spent her childhood orphaned. ***This character is tricky because I understand why her mother wanted nothing to do with her, but her trying to manipulate the dad and also saying he didn't raise her properly made me so angry. ****This character is tricky because he was explicitly raised as an orphan by his grandma, his father didn't sign his birth certificate (Korean equivalent of this), and he's registered as the child of his grandmother, not his actual mom. His grandma is dead by the beginning of the series and he is living alone without family, so I think he counts as an orphan.
