    he is putting on some weight and muscle. he literally quite skinny when 1 saw him in 'still 19". i guess that's what make him hotter..

    @jentayueHe was a skinny kid in still 19! I cannot believe  it is the same person. The weight did him good, his face is more rounded and mature, and oh my the muscle is amazing!

    It was already reported on Korean news last night, but there will be no episodes next week due to the Chuseok holiday. We'll have to wait two weeks until September 27th for the next episode.

    Since HaRam can't see, I guess He just randomly gave blue/red mark on the competition :sweatingbullets:. He has his subordinate explain things but it doesn't make sense to describe painting precisely.

     

    From today episode, The man who killed Haram's father sent a letter to the King so He is actually just a spy who pretends to support the 2nd Prince, right? Does it mean the current King is not as kind as I think? I am confuse..

     

    @ferily At the first time, when they accidentally touched each other inside the palanquin, the butterfly disappeared but when Ha Ram saved CG from falling (when CG and Prince YangMyeong had bickering), The butterfly appeared. One happened at night & one happened at day time.  If I am not wrong, the location it takes place when they touch each other will also affect it. I think this is mentioned before by Sham sin (when She had conversation with the deity of tiger ?)

    @illayI think it's only when it's skin to skin contact (or lips to lips bahahaha). When he saved her from falling down, he caught her waist with clothing so it doesn't work.

    Hello guys!! Just dropping by to say that I'm hooked. This drama is so good, the story is intriguing and the romance is so swoony!! :please:

    Btw, I was utterly surprised to see that Ahn Hyo Seop suddenly turned into such a hot guy...he was a kid last time I saw him on TV :lol:

    I know. He's so hot in this role, I think it's the hair and the deep voice. He was such a baby with his hair parted in the middle in Abyss. And he's ok in Dr Romantic but this one, sexy as hell, especially the shirtless pull up part lol

    Other than Method Acting that we have been discussing, is there other systematic way for acting skills?

    I always very curious how could they simply cry on the spot, do they totally immense with the character situation to present their emotions or they simply pull in their life experiences to feel it? 

     

    Some roles will definitely required more research as the actors need to understand the character profession and mindset when they portray for the roles so that they could devise a charismatic role that the audience would remember vividly.

     

    Like, PMY mention, she also did her research of a fangirl by consulting her sister, and then she would devise her own fangirl char. One thing that the drama did not shows more how a fangirl would do more, e.g. participating in whatever website votings, purchase your bias CF products etc. For sure, she would not stalk or hang around her bias after their events, this is consider as a healthy fangirl.

     

    Me too about the crying. PMY cried so much during 7 day queen. I wonder how she did it....She looked Pretty crying too; tears just falling out of her eyes while she’s talking. Whenever have snot running down her nose like I would have haha

    Adding to the above list of parallels,

     

    21. Deokmi softly singing to a White Ocean song while Ryan is driving grumpily in episode 5 vs Deokmi full-on singing and dancing feat. some dorky dancing by driver Ryan in episode 15 (as illustrated by this Tumblr gif set).

     

    Also, here is a Twitter thread of Ryan Gold facial expressions for all your meme needs. :D

    I love this tweet : Now we know why he (KJW) has been putting off romcoms. Because he knows we wouldn't be able to handle him!!!! Foxy bastard

     

    i think we can all agree that KJW is underrated and has been wasted as second leads in so many dramas but hopefully this one will bring him into mainstream popularity!!

    Finally watched the last episode!

    Cuteness overload really! The parallels. The PARALLELS AND THE DETAILS ARE EVERYTHING! I went and made a big list of every single parallel/detail in the last episode, as a way of saying goodbye to the drama. That's how I fangirl.

    1. "His/Her's beauty is out of the world, so it is hard to capture it." - DM for  Si An vs RG for DM.

    2. Eom fangirling over Si An when she hated her daughter for it. Crazy development!

    3. The way DM's contribution is acknowledged by RG in the morning - stark contrast to how Eom/the guest dismissed her work during the first ep!

    4. Taking photo of Si An with his nearest and dearest, vs. taking photo of Si An from a distance using telescopic lens!

    5. Fangirling over videos of Si An in the cafe to fangirling over actual Si An right in front of them!

    6. DM's mom waited all night at the playground to meet RG's mom and they are finally having a conversation in the temple.

    7. "I think she's asking about your birthday" DM said about their mothers vs that for marital compatibility that DM's mom pestered her for and she told RG!

    8. DM's dad started his hobby of collecting stones after he lost his son. RG's mom stopped painting after she lost her son.

    9. DM asked him to read up on his Korean when he didn't get her sarcasm(that yeah, as if he'd refrain from drinking) when she sarcastically said "of course you do". He teased her by saying that when she said she looked good in yellow!

    10. The bridal style picking up and putting to bed, was in contrast to how she brought him home when he had drunk a lot in the first staff dinner.

    11. Ryan not shaking hands with anyone, but readily doing so with DI(he got over his trauma of cold hands).

    12. DM's promotion got replaced by RG coming from USA and now she's getting a chance to work in USA.

    13. RG being horrified by her terrible taste(when she tried to get LS painting from him in the China auction) vs. him completely trusting her taste right now and coming out of retirement.

    14. Eom making RG director to RG making Eom director. It's hilarious.

    15. DM sneaking as SJ's husband to see her during childbirth vs the lesbian couple RG imagined them to be + cross dressed RG playing Latte.

    16. THE KISS THE WALL KISS. DM was glowing. I love this so much. I can't breathe. That parallel with 'do you want me', and then that kiss. Dead, deceased and buried.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Love this list!! Adding one more 

    17. RG and DM playfully smearing chalk pain on each other face when younger w. Playing with flour when making food

    18. DM saying RG face is her canvas to paint w. Her applying lipstick by kissing him! 

    19. HJ told her mom she has no other wish if she died now, the exact line DM said after meeting SA in person

    Hello... this drama have forced to me delurk from being silent reader of this forum.

    God, i swear i'm not gonna be too attach to a drama after my last one, which apparently happen to be directed by the same director HPL, no wonder i got hooked with this drama too... :sweatingbullets: 

     

    I just love how they recall back the wall fake kiss scene back in ep4 into the greatest real kiss in the last ep. Their position may be the same on the camera, but they did switch place and their clothes' colour too. 

     

    So i'm gonna go back to be a silent reader. See ya! *:ph34r:

    I really want to travel to Korea to visit the iconic kiss wall. I didn’t understand why DM and SJ wanted to check into SA hotel at the beginning and take pics of them doing the same things he does but NOW I understand. I want to go to Korea, find the museum, find the wall, find my own Ryan Gold and recreate the kisses!! Call me crazy fan girl :)

    I think she's referring to Lee Min Ho and City Hunter. Lol. City Hunter wasn't bad, but I hate how the OTP was treated there. Romance poorly done, and watching Healer before I watch CH just made CH's failings even more apparent to me. 

     

    I say this as someone who loved WWWSK, the ML in HPL is so much better. The romance also was more mature (not R18 mature lol) and grounded. WWWSK felt more like a fairy-tale in an office setting, where a Cinderella-like Kim Mi So is swept away by the rich handsome prince and was a very passive recipient towards his affection. I love HPL because it was an equal romance. One did not court or chase the other, no courtship happened. It was just two people who found themselves in a peculiar spot (fake relationship) and slowly connected with each other, then fell in love. Remember, RG first thought DM was lesbian, so he connected with her more as a person before he was attracted to her as a woman. That made his love deeper IMHO. The romance was more realistic and mature than anything WWWSK had. 

     

    If you're in the mood for a fairy-tale romance, WWWSK is definitely the better choice there. But for me, HPL beats it as the best and my favorite rom-com. Doesn't mean WWWSK is bad, it just means it's second place. Lol. Can't judge the ratings too, because PSJ is by far the bigger star than PMY and KJW. WWWSK rode the popularity of PSJ which was likely why it was such a ratings powerhouse. HPL had to "take the risk" with PMY "carrying" KJW in the beginning, given that KJW is in uncharted territory for him as an actor (and we all know how many IG followers he had prior to the drama). 

    Just curious why do you think PSJ is by far the bigger star than PMY and KJW? I would agree if you say popular but IMHO  PSJ IS not the bigger star...

  8. Love the analysis below, credit to OP on tumblr https://lovingquotesthatspeakmymind.tumblr.com/post/185226309324/thoughts-on-ep-15-come-to-think-about-it-for-the

     

    “Come to think about it, for the time when I couldn’t draw, perhaps it was meant for me to find something that was more precious. To me, it was you that I found.” - Ryan Gold to Deok Mi 

    I think most of us would have anticipated this “childhood stories” concept quite early into the drama. I suspected it too. 

    But what Ep 15 did well was that it kinda made this “childhood concept” less cliché. 

    • It’s true that Deok Mi and Ryan knew each other from young. However, at the age of 7 both of them had a bad experience that traumatised them for the rest of their life. 
    • For Deok Mi, the loss of her younger brother due to car accident caused her to forget most of her childhood even the happy moments. Because of the vague memories she have, she gets nightmare too but she can’t remember it well. 
    • For Ryan, as we all know, he was abandoned at orphanage by someone (as expected was Deok Mi’s mom). This rather vivid memory constantly gave him nightmare and was part of the reason why he couldn’t draw.

    Tbh, the concept of childhood friends for Ryan and Deok Mi in this drama is not main focus (at least from my POV). Rather it was the fact that in the process of finding out his childhood trauma and overcoming his inability to draw, Ryan got to meet Deok Mi who was the total opposite of Ryan even though both of them can no longer draw. While Ryan suffered due to his inability to draw again, Deok Mi made use of her talents to live as a fansite master and remained cheerful. And even though they might have known each other when they were younger, that wasn’t the main reason why they chose to stay with each other despite knowing the truth. 

    They stayed with each other because Deok Mi has been a constant pillar of support for Ryan. She was there when he needed someone to hug and tell him everything will be alright. She was there when he had doubts about his mom. She was there when everyone, including himself, knew that he can no longer draw but she encouraged him bit by bit. To Deok Mi, Ryan was someone who embraced her “idol/fandom/fansite master” side without any judgments. 

    And indeed Her Private Life really showed us what a mature relationship is all about - COMMUNICATION.

    Without that, relationship is really as fragile as you can see in any other kdrama with lots of misunderstanding and childish arguments (oops but it’s true)

    They need to create an actress list, surely PMY would be number 1 hehe I love how KJW has just shot to number 2 mainly because of this drama. The kisses really are too good :wub:

     

    If I were to nit pick at the list, I might take out SIG and slot in Lee Min Ho cos his kisses are always pretty epic too, then that would make it 4 out of 5 actors who've acted with PMY :D

    Here’s an article about all of PMY kiss scenes https://www.hellokpop.com/featured/park-min-young-best-korean-drama-moments/

    Do any of you feel that the drama has kind of lost its spunk? I like the acting and appreciate the healthy relationship between the OTP, but I miss the heart flutters. Their relationship is way too perfect. They don’t argue, or fight. It’s sweet but a bit too sweet for me. I was expecting more! 

    Yes, slightly. I get RG needs to figure out his stuff but I was hoping for more fan hurling and for the focus to be on DM instead of him, the second half is more dramatic and less comedic so it doesn’t match as well with the first half. That being said, I still love our OTP and enjoy watching!

    (apologize for not recapping this week, I couldn't see the whole episode, only the last few mins because there are elections in my country)

     

    Two things:

     

    1. DM WAS WEARING RYAN'S SHIRT WHEN THEY SLEPT TOGETHER. Something happened. Alright, Something happened but was censored to save the population of fangirls. TAKING THAT HAIR STICK OUT OF THE BUN WAS SO HOT I DIED. How can that small a thing be so sexy?

    Yes she was wearing his shirt! I felt like it’s a great CHEAT that we didn’t get to see HOW it happened that his shirt is on her and he’s wearing a different one!!??
