    I was just rewatching ep 1 and 2 (my 3rd time!) and just love every bits of it! That first encounter of SR and JH, and how she tried to negotiate with him to run off, how she tried to threaten JH at his house (about how SK military, government, UN will come looking for her if they know she's there) and then JH just saw thru her fake bravado and said he won't tell anyone she's there. LOL!! I just realise again how amazing their chemistry is right from the beginning! It's not just during their romantic scenes, but also their squabbles when they first met. Their comic timing was just spot-on, just like their emo connection. And of course SR's chemistry with F4 is just so good!!

     

    I also noted again that JH first realise that SR is just a gal who's afraid for her life (despite all her brave words), after she broke down and cry that first night when the lights went off and she didn't know it was JH coming into the house. Before that, she acted so brave and domineering, and he was just giving it back to her as he could see through her LOL!! But as soon as she started crying, JH went all soft and felt sorry for her....so sweet!!

     

    Looks like my 3rd rewatch is still going strong!!

     

     

     

    Oh! That was a beautiful scene. I like when he said he bought the candle for her, so innocently :wub: And after that he put the finger on candle to blow it out, it melted my heart :love: I want to re-watch all episodes but I know once I started it it will badly affect my work so I'm watching only RiRicouple scenes on YT. :D

     

    By the way, this art is by sallyandpiper, so beautiful :wub::wub:

    Spoilt for other dramas now... everything else seems meh to watch.

     

    So true. I finished SYJ's "Something in the rain" but don't like it much. Though I started it because of the unique story line but after few episodes I lost interest because of the plot and FF most of the part. Both the leads were good but the ending left me disappointed. 

     

    @eLizza Don't mention DOTS! Sorry if I hurt someone but the last few episodes of DOTS were totally unnecessary! And there is no comparison of writing of both dramas. Same goes to Goblin, sorry but I dropped that drama and only watched the ending! CLOY totally set the bar high for any Kdrama.

     

    @jamy47 CLOY is what DOTS was trying to be. toally agree :lol:

    @Samnamu-unnie She was falling for him and she knew that! That's why she said that because things get complicated and it did! But that shows how wonderfully the script is written. I watched both "My love from the star" and "The legend of Blue Sea" but the dialogues written in this drama, hands down, one of the best.

    I think she meant she was infact liking being there and that was a problem. I started watching from beginning today and I agree with what you said about the paragliding scene...to me I noticed that was 1st time he had look of affection in his eyes for her as she grabbed on and held him tight and he stroked her hair. For Seri she was obviously attracted from beginning but I noticed 1st time she had that real glimmer in her eye towards him was when he agreed to give the orphan the food..his kindness touched her. They both seemed to be checking each other out at the clam bake and then from there it just kept growing as they made more memories and went thru trials together and grew closer. I think as she pointed out in the woods when running away in the beginning and he pointed out later in the drama they were both each other's type from the beginning as far as attraction but the love came later with time spent together and getting to know one another

    Just watched market scene when she's lost and he finds her with "scented" candle....by his reaction that seems to be imo the 1st time he worries about her safety out of his growing affection for her not just to not blow their cover. He realized when she was lost she might get hurt or be scared 

    Did you watch that scene afterwards when he said he is already engaged and trying to draw the line! She was already affected :D Of course Seri being Seri,such a high celebrity tried to look cool but what I am trying to say is, he too was affected when she said she wanted to go back SK for men, he was jealous slightly but he was jealous :lol:

    On opposite sides of the universe lived Jiknyeo, a young woman who was very good at weaving clothes and Gyeonwu, a young handsome herder of cattle. Jiknyeo was the daughter of the heavenly King and she was so beautiful that she was loved by all of the angels in heaven. One day as Jiknyeo was weaving, she looked out of the window and caught a glimpse of Gyeonwu who was living across the Milky Way. The two soon fell in love and with the blessing of the King they were united to marry and live together. The young couple were so in love that Jiknyeo stopped weaving clothes and no longer would Gyeonwu herd the sheep and cows. This upset the King very much and he decided that they should live apart from each other, separated by the Milky Way.

    Only once a year were the couple permitted to meet each other, on the seventh day of the seventh month. On July 7th each year, although Jiknyeo and Gyeonwu were excited to meet each other, they couldn’t cross the Milky Way. The crows and magpies of the universe saw the despair of the young couple and would come together to make a bridge so that they could meet and hug. After spending a short time together, the couple would realize that it would be another year before they could meet again and they would both cry. It is these tears which symbolizes the start of the monsoon season. (Ref: asiasociety.org)

     

    sounds familiar right. Not only that, in folklore, Jiknyeo and Gyeonwu were believed to meet around july. Do you know when edelweiss blooms? JULY!!!!

     

    so much parallel. These must be inspirations of the writer. 

     

    such a tragic story :( I noticed when they were talking about this but I was too lazy to find about the story. Thank you for sharing this. I think the writer really did a great job, each and every scene has such a deep meaning.

    There is no scene of him carrying her to his bend and tucking her in when she was drunk. You might have confused it with this scene? This is the scene where SR was remembering all of her good memories of JH when she was kidnapped.

    The village and RJH’s house (which was part of the village). All of them were built on an empty land and have been demolished this week, I think. I saw some pictures on Twitter.

    And here I thought it was all real, at least the village! But I saw in BTS video they were talking that someone will see them(the scene in which RJH was waiting for Seri in ep 4).

    At least the building in which GSJ and Dan were living is real,right? What about Seri's apartment?! :tears: I really want to see that :(

    That comedic scene by SYJ was actually the moment where I told myself "Yup im gonna be hooked wuth this drama

     

    For me it's their first scene, "Your looks are totally my type". Honestly it gave me quite shock!  Loved each and every moment after that.

    Agreed with all of these. I have been thinking about this point the whole week. The show is very much about self-forgiving, healing and self-redemption. Its about life-changing love, but also about personal development to reach for hopes and dreams. 


    Well said. I want to add more. I think it's applied to not only to the main characters but they showed it very well to the side characters too. Let's talk about Man-bok; I loved how they showed the guilt but because of the family situation he has to do the job. He lost the only friend he has and when again something similar situation arises he chose to help RiRi couple, the good over bad. And same with GSJ happened. It happened because of Dan but the realization is important and I'm glad that in his last moment he is satisfied that someone is there to cry for him. I teared up at that scene. :bawling:

    Just a side note and pardon me if I have missed this discussion, but I was one of those (like many others) who felt that the greatest regret with the ending was SJ's death. Now that I have digested it all, I realised that his character was never written to be a "good" person from the start. He was a con-man, he was condescending and acted high and mighty whilst in NK, AND he plotted together with SR's second brother to keep her in NK just to save himself. Sure he had a backstory, (which I felt was poorly inserted towards the end so as to give him a more dimensional character and gain more love), and he demonstrated wittiness and redeeming qualities. Not to mention that I rooted for him and SD too. But ultimately, he was one of the villains, albeit a uncharacteristic villain, in the same cluster with SR's brother nonetheless. Being a con-man is also a huge no-no in
    Korea, with the number of scams and pyramid schemes that exist already. Plus, how was the writer to detail his survival in NK if he were to reunite with SD? There just wasn't enough time for more story telling with the second leads. Hence sadly, he had to be sacrificed. (Maybe a drama for SD-SJ ala Lee Dong Wook and Yoo Ina style?^_^)

     

    Sorry but I have to disagree on this. Of course GSJ's death is the greatest regret but I love how they showed Dan positively. I forget to tell there is so much positivity in this drama. Back to point, I think every one deserve a second chance. So what GSJ was a con-man but as confessed by him apart from Seri's brother he never cheated anyone(please tell me if I'm missing anything). So when he wanted to live a happy life and wanted to forget everything, don't you think he deserve a chance? Also it's not entirely his fault but Seri's father's and the society is also somehow responsible. As I mentioned before in this post I think like Man-bok, GSJ too deserve happiness. And about portrayal of con-man in Korea, I think there should a drama where a main lead is con-man! Oh I just "The legend of Blue Sea" and what do you say about HB's role at starting in "Memories of Alhambra"?   

    I think they could find a way if they wanted to! I mean RJH can help him after all he did so many things for him.

    If the award shows were showing a preview clip of HB and SYJ before announcing their Best Actor and Best Actress in a drama, what clips would you guys choose?

     

    For me personally, I will choose the first encounter between RJH and Seri for SYJ, when she said that golden words "Your looks are totally my type!"

     

    giphy.gif

     

    It's not only because of acting but it's the first impression of how bold and strong the character Seri is even when she is in other country, to be precise in an enemy country. And I'm sure there would be laughter in audience after seeing that.

     

    Best acting by SYJ as Seri for me :

    -Of course the interrogation scene, no doubt that's best scene.

    -Her reaction after RHJ said "You said it wasn't even a kiss". I don't think anyone can act the way she reacted to RJH's words and turned around not just once but twice! :lol:

    -The final good bye at DMZ line

    Best acting by HB as RJH :

    -The scene at DMZ line when he saw Seri and ran towards her :wub:

    I love CJW's cameo in CLOY, it was a pleasant surprise. I might have missed the conversation here in this thread, but I think the writer was trying to hint about the ending for SRxJH right?

     

    I don't know if someone mentioned it here or not but I'm new to k-drama world so I don't know that the cap reference is from  "The stairway to heaven" until I read this comment. Quoting Red_fishball here,

    THE STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN REF THO!!!! ANY STH FANS HERE??? The director frigging used the BGM AND THE SAME SHOOTING TECHNIQUE AND ANGLES FROM STH. COUPLED WITH THE RED BEANIE AND THE REENACTION OF CRYING WHILE PULLING IT OVER HIS FACE. IM SCREAMING. LOVE IT SO MUCH HAHAHAHAH

    I really thought RJH wanted Seri to stop running because he feared that the NK side might think she is a hostile and might shoot her at will. Those people are trained to shoot whoever steps behind the enemy lines into North Korea. His decision to run across the demarcation over to Seri is to probably shield her body in case his comrades fires a gun on her.

     

    This is also why the NIS agents moved closer and pointed their guns at the NK side to protect the couple. It was a very tense moment where very little movement may start a blood bath. Her current health condition only comes in second.

    Same here...When I was watching this scene without subs, I knew he told her to stop coming his way but I was confused; Is he worried about her health or he feared of her crossing the line.

    2. The Mothers in this drama were one of the best I’ve seen in kdramas. Namely, SR, SD and JH’s mothers. Especially SD and SR’s mothers who really showed good character growth and were just doing all the right things in the end. I cried during the meeting between SD and JH’s mothers. Ultimately, mothers just want the best for their children, as long as their children are happy. I’m glad SD’s mother could understand this in the end.

     

     

    I'm really glad that there are not much (only 3) negative characters here which hardly we see. I thought Dan's mother would be negative like other dramas but I'm impressed when she put her daughter's happiness before anything else. Seri's mother showed cold in starting episodes but I like the character development. I loved that she is there when out P5 arrested with Seri to console her and at the last she was the one who told about RH :wub: About RH's mom, she is the best...I have no complaint about her. :wub::wub:

    I saw this interview earlier! It is at 32:20 onwards. Really funny segment. They were discussing ratings, and SYJ was just saying ratings should not be  everything as the team has worked hard, then out-of-the-blue HB said., "Oh this is good (quoting a fan who posted on live chat )" As it's Ri-Ri, so rating should be 22%" (as Ri=2 in Korean). 

     

    Then SYJ started nagging him, saying she was just trying to say rating is not important, but HB started being cheeky and said "I support 22%" and even made the 22 signal with his fingers LOL!!

     

    Then SYJ said he should dress up as Dooly (what's that??) if they hit 22% hahaha! But unfortunately, HB didn't really agree to do that.....

     

    I hope the cast esp our OTP will really do something as fanservice cuz of the amazing ratings for the finale episode!

    I just checked the rating, it's 21% and 23% in seoul, so the average is as HB's wish  22% ;)

     

    Can we have a small clip with babies now? LOL
