  1. Indeed these four episodes might have been a tad too cliché but it was cute nontheless.

     

    How great would it be if these four episodes follows this :

    He actually saw her necklace without her realising and then he had a reaction in his room which was cured by his medicine. He then thought about it throughout the night and decided to test her.

     

    Then when the doc went to his room, he chanced upon the used syringe in the dustbin but gave no second thought about it.

     

    When they were leaving, he cabbed back to find her at the beach and he decided to lure her into telling him the truth. And then he will ask for some time to think it through. 

     

    Afterwards he probably wouldn't have time to think it through due to his company and those jerks who think the robot is a human. And he'll see the deep learning process videos and makes his decision and also shutting those stupid people at work up for the one last time by bringing AJi3 to the company.

  2. I wish they could have explained more about the stories and sidetrack a little rather than just repeating the entire story...

    Like for example, how did Sunny think of using the blossomed tree branch to catch GR. Did she have a glimpse of him when she was on her way out or did she figure something out? How did she figure it out, through ET and KS's action or just purely GR and the weird stuff happening, ie. ringtone, falling but not getting hurt. Sunny's life. How did GR friend rent the house from SamShin, did SamShin make Sunny move in? Why?

    Why did KS choose Secretary Kim. Which BTW, he's actually really cute. Shall we all get the high ratings and get him to dance to TT. hehehe. Was the heading in and out of the door (to search for DH and drink soup) an ad lib? Since the staff laughed out loud. 

    Pardon me if someone wrote this before. (I will start my backreading now)

  3. So I didnt come online for 2 days and have almost 40 pages to backread, WHATT. But five pages in and I realised how the Queens and the Brides are downgrading each other...

    as @maryofbethany has mentioned, stop comparing what each OTP is missing from the other. Especially when we loyal readers backread every single page, it's just pure irritation for our eyes. Can we just get back to our analysis of how the drama is going to flow or how it has been flowing till now? I miss our literature peeps' analysis!

    @selenette Where can I watch SJ sing in DH getup! Omygod! That'll be so cute

    On the side note, I'm going to miniso shop to find the candles :DDD while counting down to the next ep and fretting if I should just wait for all 4 eps to be out or to join in the fun/agony with the rest. Sigh...

  4. @ChewyChocolate is that a fanfic?! If it is (and not an actual spoiler) , you're awesome. Although it's very typical but I really liked how you wrote " She stares at him, and she says slowly, "I....feel....we've....done....this....before...." And he stares right back at her. Then he smiles. Freeze frame." Woaaa, I can so imagine him smiling with that soft expression. *warms my heart* though it would kill me to have that ending because they should remember what they have went through. ahhh

    @carolinedl

    It is interesting that the lady in Red is acting like Eun Tak's mother. She gave her a gift on her 9th birthday, gave her advice, protected her with the plants (spinach), came to the ceremony graduation and scolded the teacher like any mother would have done. When the lady in Red says that ET is pretty, it is not because of her pretty face, but because of her goodness and good character. While all the human beings are considered as her children, Eun Tak seems to be her true child because she is able to forgive and love people so easily. She is the entire opposite of the evil eunuch Park Joong Won. She is genuine, he is manipulative. She doesn't use people and doesn't seek help from them, while the other is doing the opposite. He uses people (see the female Grim Reaper and the King) in order to achieve his goal: become the true ruler of Goreyo! That's why I also believe that Ji Eun Tak's life must be connected to Park Joong Won's life as well.      

    I really really liked the part where ET realised that the RL is the halmoni and that she was always getting greens for a reason and that she was actually there all these time. The flashback that she got and the realisation that was shown on her face. Such a touching moment.

    These Guys & Gal.

    I want to know the backstory on each one of them, even though I know we won't.

    Entirely making this up:
    from left to right ~

    Glasses Reaper - 1800s Chosun. Slave Trade Accountant.
    Chimek (Chicken&Beer) Reaper -  Kkangpae (political gangster). Busan 1950s.
    Court Maid Reaper - Deadly Poisoner, Koryŏ, approx 1100 AD
    Nerd-Burger Reaper - Merchant, traitor with Manchuria, Joseon 1620s
    Model Reaper - Hwang of Koryŏ, decree killer, approx 1100 AD
    Hoobae Reaper - Cutie-patootie, former archer/shot Queen of Koryŏ, approx 1100 AD

    I will be sorely disappointed if the writer doesn't give this group an opportunity to shine as a Redemptive Unit. TEAM REAPER Fighting!!

    HAHAHA, OMYGOD I LOVE YOUR NICKNAMES FOR THEM! Nerd-burger reaper. hahahaha. Model reaper kekekex

    Could he possibly only removing part of her bad memory and her feeling for him? She seems to know that GR is in her memory, but she has no feeling for it. It looks like she understood KS's question whether or not GR was WY, so she remembered he was the king, but won't confirm it. Also, she was not falling apart there because she has no feeling for him. Now, if that the case, what can be done so she gets her feeling back? Another kiss? 

     

    I don't think so. If she doesn't have feelings for the King, she would have outright admitted that GR is WY. It is because she has feelings for him that she knows if she were to admit it, KS will definitely do something bad since they ended in bad terms.

  8. But seriously, how is Sunny still standing. I mean, she realised the boyfriend she's dating is non-human, she found out that the brother that kept finding her should be at least a thousand years old. Let's say, that's still alright, if one doesn't keep track. 

    Then bam! She got a kiss which allows all her past life flowing into her mind. Like how does this not corrupt your brain and your usual socializing skills? How is she not breaking down from all the information flowing through her? 

    For Euntak, is it possible that we take her being unable to see ghost as a good thing? *cross fingers* Goblin did say that if he were to disappear, ET will cease to have the ability to see ghost and would not be able to remember him. Maybe Goblin's changing or losing his powers? Don't quite make sense but...hopefully she's just really really distracted. Sigh...

    @aurelly Those stills gave me a heart attack! Game on tonight! 

    Just finished Ep 11 with subs and will be back with my favourite scenes!

    As a teacher, I hope that I would not be told this by Samshin Halmoni[or any one else for that matter]

    I feel like, RL has once crossed the teacher's life. That's why RL called her "Child" and also how just these sentence impact her that much.

  12. Have been wondering, why is it that when ET grabbed KS in the library, she got burned. But all other times when he hugged, there was no issues? Can he control his flames? If so, why don't they hold hands ): Although I'm fine with them not kissing, but they should have more skinship! Hugging once or twice isn't enough, especially when they have so many walking scenes, they could do well with holding hands~~

    It's funny how Sunny and Grim Reaper is always talking about breaking up but I've never seen them confirmed their relationship. Hahaha, Like do you go on dates and you're an item?

    REVISED!

    THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR HANJA NAME MEANINGS

    "Your real name is Kim Sun? Which Hanja character do you use?" Kim Shin, to Sunny [Ep 9]

    I've revised my previous post (removing wrong Hanja characters) and moved it here. Thank you, @kumoiwa for the insightful inputs, the screenshots, and @hushhh for reminding me that I placed my pictures wrongly in my old post.  Thank you to any of you who read the old post and this one.

     

    KIM SHIN 

     

    Chairman Yoo explained to Secretary Kim that Kim Shin's name means "to believe" [Ep 9]. This helps establishing the Hanja character for Kim Shin's given name, which is .

    However, based on Eun-tak's Internet search results [Ep 5], the Hanja for shin in Kim Shin's name is  , not 信 . The screenshot of her search is in the spoiler box.

    I believe this is an error on the production team's part, because  means "large masses", which contradicts Chairman Yoo's abovementioned statement. Out of 25 Hanja characters formally listed by the Korean government for the given name Shin, only  means "to believe". 

    • (kim) = gold; iron (Note: generally, the character refers to any precious metal of the ancient Chinese era)
    • (shin) = to believe, belief, trust, to profess faith in (Note: the character consists of two characters, 人("man") and 言("speech") = a person's truthful words. The character implies that a man with this name is one who stays true to his promises)

    TO [STRONGLY] BELIEVE;

    A STAUNCH BELIEF;

    STEADFASTNESS

    ________________________________

    WANG YEO

     As this was one of two names that Kim Shin wrote down [Ep 8], there would be no mistaking the Hanja. Nevertheless, the "dawn" meaning is a new discovery for me.

    • (wang) = king (Note:  the three horizontal strokes are Heaven, Man and Earth. The vertical stroke is the king. A king, therefore, has to connect Heaven, Man, and Earth. This implies that a king's failure in maintaining this sacred connection/carrying out the mandate to rule justly, will result in Heavenly punishment)
    •   (yeo) = dark; black; dawn; many people; commoners

    THE DARK KING;

    THE BLACK KING;

    THE KING OF MANY PEOPLE;

    THE KING [WHO CAME AT?] DAWN

    ________________________________

    KIM SUN

     

    Written side by side with Wang Yeo's name [Ep 8], this name's Hanja characters were clearly shown in the drama.  

    • (kim)= gold; iron
    •   (sun) = virtuous; good; kind; charitable;kindness  (Note: the character is formed by two other characters, 誩 ("say a lot") and  羊 ("goat" [= sacrifice, soft speech], implying that the person always speaks in kindness and is selfless/self-sacrificing)

    GOLDEN VIRTUE;

    GOLDEN KINDNESS;

    TRUE/GOLDEN SELFLESSNESS

    _________________________________

    YOO DEOK HWA

    His surname's Hanja character is written on his ancestors' gravestones [Ep 1]. The screenshot is in the spoiler box. His given name is that of Andy Lau 's [Ep 5]. 

    • (yoo) = old Chinese surname "Liu"; willow; a constellation
    • (deok) = morality; ethics; virtue
    • (hwa) = illustrious; magnificent; flowery; to flourish; to prosper (Note: the character consists of  elements 艹 ( "grass") +  匚 ("basket", "sieve"), which referred to a container for herbs, plants, leaves for traditional medicines.  In ancient times, one travels to the countryside.  Naming a person in this character implies a hope for a distant yet encompassing journey.)

    ILLUSTRIOUS VIRTUE;

    MAGNIFICENT MORALITY;

    TO [EMBARK ON A] JOURNEY ON [THE PATH OF/TO] VIRTUE

     

    ________________________________

    JI EUN TAK

     

    Based on Eun-tak's death card [Ep 3], these are the Hanja characters for her name. Please click the spoiler box to see the screenshot.

    •   (ji) = a Chinese surname "Chi", pool; pond; ditch
    • (eun) =favor; grace; love; kindness (Note: the character is formed from the character 心 ("heart") and phonetic 因 ("to follow"; "cause"), implying that the person is kind-hearted)
    •   (tak) = bright; beautiful; high and large

    BEAUTIFUL GRACE;  

    BEAUTIFUL KINDNESS;  

    BEAUTIFUL AND GRACEFUL;  

    KIND AND BEAUTIFUL

    ________________________________

    Revised: My observations on the Names (please only click if you're interested)

     

    *removed pictures and spoilers

    Thank you so much for the explanation. Thank god I could read some of these Hanja - Traditional Chinese. I guess naming of a child really affects the person's character, probably why the asians actually go to pro fortune teller to get a good name.

    I can't get more awestruck with their planning. It's just too top notch. The scenes layout, the way they dress, the wordings on the clothes (not sure if it's true that it imply something in the show), the colors they use to represent the characters, even to their names! They must have really spent a lot of time deciding on how these details would let us go mindblown. Reminds me of literature.

    Speaking of colors, it kinds of reminds me how some of us kept talking about who is on which side of the team. EunTak with red scarf, Red Halmoni. Goblin with blue flame, DeokHwa in blue clothings (as mentioned by some)
