#kim eun sook

[mikuyuuss]

I was watching Stephanie Soo's video about Song Hye Kyo and a little insider prior to The Glory. From what I know so far... It seems like Song Hye Kyo got a lot of backlash for no reason other than baseless assumptions, and people were sceptical of her, and the writer of The Glory, Kim Eun Sook, as to whether or not they still got it in them with their acting and writing.

Flashforward, and The Glory was a success. I feel like what they all had in common with this show was that, not only was it a story about Moon Dong Eun's comeback, but it was also a comeback era for Song Hye Kyo and Kim Eun Sook. Honestly, deserved.

The way Song Hye Kyo worked SO hard to portray Dong Eun's image, as someone who doesn't take care of herself, and someone you wanted to feel sympathy for, and the support she got from the team working on the show is just *chefs kiss* They really deserved all the awards that they could get.

It was so sweet that after all the hate Song Hye Kyo got, people where cheering for her on the stage and saying "You're so pretty." The whole thing was just so sweet man.

Ik this post isn't coherent at all. I'm just too tired right now. I'll edit and adjust the wording for this later when I'm better.

watching the glory and it’s not tedious. i think this director works well with the writer. this might be the first kim eun suk i’m watching in full. i dont have expectations, but I’m not bored and I like th effort for the girl friendship. still dont understand the purpose of the male lead here but maybe it will make sense in part 2?

The Glory writer Kim Eun-sook also Goblin 🙌👏

I know I need to calm the fuck down first but one word to describe episode 6: STRESS!!

📍I love seeing Hyun-woo and Hae-in having a...sort of second honeymoon in Germany but I couldn't really enjoy every scene because I'm stressing out at how fucking OBLIVIOUS the Hong family is like bitch y'all are surrounded by snakes and they're so complacent 😭😭😭 I mean it's not really their fault that there are opportunists who'd earn their trust first then slither their way to bite them in the ass, but I just find it ironic at how protective they are at their family business and wealth but they can't see through the REAL people who has every intention to bring them down.

📍Speaking of which, I have read a fan theory somewhere that Mo Seul-hee is the mom of Eun-seong and Da-hye. Could be, OR Grace could be Da-hye's mom considering how Grace acted towards her. But why are they so keen at bringing the Hong family down?

📍Maybe it's just me but I don't think Da-hye is that bad, I have a feeling that she'll eventually come to her senses and take Hyun-woo's side and expose Eun-seong and co.

📍My overthinker/delulu self thinks that Soo-cheol and Da-hye's baby is actually Hyun-woo and Hae-in's kid. I mean, it wasn't shown how they lost their baby...yet. So Hae-in either miscarried, or she gave birth to a still born child? But what if the child is actually alive and one of those evil bitches cooked up some shit to make it seem like Hyun-woo and Hae-in's baby died, and then that baby was registered as Soo-cheol and Da-hye's kid? I know it sounds insane, but we're only on episode 6 so more crazy shit could happen in the future episodes, you'll never know. But my normal self says I've watched too many Filipino dramas growing up (and yes, that shit happens a lot in Filo-dramas).

📍Speaking of that kid, another theory is...what if that kid is actually Eun-seong and Da-hye's? Soo-cheol is a dumbass, and again, those bitches could have manipulated that baby's DNA test result or something. Again, that's just me being an overthinker, also I hate my Filo-drama mindset.

📍Aunt Beom-ja being so concerned about Hae-in and her dad but I also appreciate the fact that she respected her niece's request to not tell anyone about her illness. I also hope that she'll be able to help Hyun-woo clear his name and uncover Seul-hee and gang's dirty little secret.

📍BUT Y'ALL KNOW WHO STRESSED THE SHIT OUT OF ME THIS EPISODE? BAEK FUCKING HYUN-WOO!!! I am so freaking annoyed that he didn't tell Hae-in about the divorce when he had the chance. He was probably worried at how Hae-in would react plus the latter was going through medical treatments so he probably didn't want to put too much stress on her, but Hae-in was bound to find out either way so...yeah I do get why he chose to keep the divorce to himself but he could have just told the truth and suck it up, and perhaps they could communicate better when it comes to issues like this.

📍One thing I noticed about Hyun-woo is that he's brave in so many ways but also a coward on one thing. I mean he talks with Hae-in about nice things and all, and he is his wife's confidante, but I don't think I've ever heard him talk the way Hae-in does, meaning he never had the balls to talk to his wife about the..."unpleasant" side of their marriage. Hae-in was able to talk to him about her illness, the last will and testament that her mom pressured her to write, and Hyun-woo didn't even think about bringing up the divorce papers.

Prior to episode 5, I really thought that Hae-in was the one who shut him out but it was actually the other way around. Wifey may seem cold and nonchalant but if there's one person she'd listen to, it's him. Perhaps he doesn't want to say something that would upset Hae-in but the point is...she's his wife, she's supposed to know what he thinks, how he feels about certain things, even the not-so-pleasant side of their relationship. I really hope that in the next episode or the episode after that he'll be able to communicate better.

📍Hae-in's mom is terrible af. Imagine blaming your own daughter for the death of your son. I mean she didn't deserve to lose a child, but it's unfair to put all the blame on Hae-in (like why?). It's not like she endangered herself on purpose, and she had the audacity to be upset when Hae-in did something nice to her in-laws? Like what is wrong with this woman? Why can't see realize her own mistakes?

📍I kind of teared up when Hae-in was telling Hyun-woo about the things the latter should do when she dies. She could die, and this show might give us a bittersweet ending but when that time comes I'd be really, really hurt. Also, Hae-in confessing that the only reason she wrote her will about Hyun-woo not getting anything should they divorce was so that she'll be allowed to marry him 😭 (just shows she fought hard for him and she'll do absolutely anything to be with him). God I hate her mom! And yes the epilogue was so cute, now we know that they have always been in-love with each other. But I guess...they need a time-out 🤷.

📍Hae-in called Hyun-woo "yeobo" 🥹🥹🥹

This was needed. Especially in a world where people, as a side effect of being chronically online, are adhering to the belief that life, as we know it, ends after one crosses the age of 25.

DRAMA REVIEW | Perfect Marriage Revenge (2023)

There’s an argument to be made about how Perfect Marriage Revenge had a perfect execution because it was a 12 episodes long drama and didn’t waste time for unnecessary conflicts. Everything took its right time and was resolved in a cohesive way with the characters development.

Both leads were compelling and had amazing chemistry, but the secondary characters were equally interesting to watch. All the performances outstanding and you can tell the actors are enjoying themselves in their respective roles.

On a story about a woman looking for revenge against her own family, this kdrama had a perfect balance between makjang and romcom. Making it an easy and fun watch. I highly recommend it!

mr sunshine is about the resistance against tragedy in every form. separation from beloved, from family, from country, from comrades, from language, from loyalties, from friends, from your principles, everything. it's about having strength and courage and hope, fragile hope, in the face of it all. and saying love is at the center of it. despite every betrayal, fighting for it still.

[stuff-diary]

Just rewatched Tune in for Love after a long time and now I'm sure it's one of my favorite romance movies of all time. It just excels at everything I love about this genre: the mixture of fluff and angst, the yearning, the longing, the insane chemistry between Kim Go Eun and Jung Hae In... It's basically perfect. Also, I need both of them to reunite in a full-length drama, please 🥹🥹🥹

There should be a Young Actors’ Retreat thing for the cast of the shows that Kim Eun-sook wrote.
