So Episode 18 ... - The supposed ML is not impressive ... WTF was that office scene about? - I did like the lunch face off between Hye Won & Little Sister - Crazy Aunt wins the episode ... her exchange with Ji Chang was the highlight

Relax Chingu's Aircraft tipping is one of, if not thee most, dramatic non-event ... "events" there are when it comes to aircraft accidents. - They all occur with the aircraft on the ground at a complete stop - All aircraft involved in a tipping event are taken out of service and inspected/repaired as required - The event itself is NOT quick ... having been involved in several near events ... its not like a catapult going off ... it happens slowly - I know of no deaths involved with aircraft tipping, the injuries I do know of were with the ground crews, not passengers and were minor Lastly - very public events like the Jetblue incident, send ripples through the airline safety communities at both airlines and regulatory agencies ( in the states at least ) rest assured that ramp & flight service operations are having refresher training on aircraft weight & balance - proper loading and unloading of aircraft. Blue Skies Chingu's

Improper cargo unloading before passengers had deplaned or in some cases gear not being properly pinned prior to maintenance - its infrequent but it has happened before Just a few examples ...

So in todays episode we got a fake pregnancy, accupressure beds, and brief WTOD cliffhanger ... which got me thinking We aught to make a game out of this ... Daily Drama Bingo Squares would be filled with stuff like - Accupressure bed - Fried Chicken store - Vitamin supplements - First DNA test - Fake DNA test - WTOD (scare) - WTOD (kill) - Obvious clues thought about and ignored ( like in todays episode ) - Fauxcest worries - Dead but not dead - First kdrama IV ... and the center square ... the coveted 3 x "Omma's" ... or in this case Unni's It'd be awesome
-
I don't think its a deliberate deception on Little Sisters part, I believe its a genuine spontaneous reaction. Its clear in their initial meeting that Little Sister calls her unnie when she believes Hye Won knows who she is. Her demeanor changes immediately when she realizes Hye Won only recognized her as FIL's mistress.
-
She escaped one to fall into another, she wasn't always with Gambling ahjumma - With all of Little Sister's flashbacks, she's clearly being fleshed out more of a tragic villain rather than one thats purely evil - We've had plenty of dailies with far worse villains ... I think she doing alright so far. Sorry, trying to hide behind a "virtue" shield isn't going to work here - If Hye Won was unwilling to inform her HUSBAND (and then apologize to MIL), then she either should have stopped him from meeting Little Sister in the first place, or at least refrained from lecturing him about trust when he came to a conclusion via judgement she didn't like, when she had the power to help properly inform that judgement but didn't. Swing and a miss @maribella ... when I said he was naive, I was referring to his relationship with Little Sister, in that he seems clueless that he's being played. Yes, he's a cheater. His character is still entertaining, more so than alot of other daily cheaters. I've already acknowledged he's a cheater, and thus deserving of all the ridicule and scorn entailed therein. If he ends the drama the same as he started - merely a cheater - I'm curious what "just deserts" do you think he should he endure?

[Drama 2024] Knight Flower/Flowers that Bloom at Night, 밤에 피는 꽃
LeftCoastOppa replied to larus's topic in k-dramas & movies
Loving this drama, and episode 9 was probably the best yet. From Secretary Yoon Hak figuring out the backstory of Officer Park and the missing fan, to Seok Jeong's arc with our leads and the supporting characters at the Inn ... you just know he's going to have fun teasing our leads when he finds out one is his "wife" You're not wrong - Asianwiki has it listed as 12 episodes. -
So Episodes 14 & 15 ... - Well we finally got the secret whisper that set this whole thing off ... looks like Hye Won's got some explaining to do when she finally realizes her Little Sister is right in front of her. - Speaking of Little Sister, its probably going to be the running gag of the drama, that every time she's shocked into crisis around Hye Won, she'll cry out ... Unnie! Hye Won then at some future moment of realization will replay all the "unnie" moments at once and finally put two and two together. - While its no secret that Hye Won & Ji Chang are destined to split, I did find it ironic that when Hye Won is beating him up about not trusting her in their argument about Little Sister, Hye Won is actually the one that failed to put trust in him by not telling him about the meeting with her and mother, ahead of time. - Which leads to a rather large ... "thats convenient/plot hole" ... moment. Little Sisters whole ruse in meeting and deceiving Ji Chang would hinge on him not knowing about her meet up with his mom. Pretty big gamble that Hye Won or Art MIL wouldn't have told him ahead of time. - Crazy Aunt stealing scenes again ... Hye Won & Ji Chang might be siblings ... - Starting to wonder if Art MIL is going to die, or just disappear and be presumed dead She could end up being the unknown rich benefactor that helps Hye Won after she hits bottom - He's a cheater, and horribly naive ... but I like him. After he figures out that he's been played, I'd like to see him on his knees in front of Art MIL - if she lives - to end the drama. He clearly doesn't hate her by any means, and he seems to want the best for her even if its not with him. I could see it happening. - Looks like episode 16 won't drop til Tuesday ... and look at that ... the ML has decided to finally show up
-
While true my initial query did hold a "mere hint" of sarcasm, it has become the stuff of revelation - I have never seen the dailies listed, and thus have multiple new entries on my watch list.
-
Its Chairman Romeo's child - Grandma infers the monk means a new birth but the monk never said that. He just said he saw the Chairman with another child that would become the pillar of the company. I find her a bit confusing - Yes, she is nasty, but just when you think she hates everyone, we get a flicker of light when she plays at least fair with the FL - saying she will hold her to her word in saving Art MIL ... whether she is successful or not. Then she's awesome swing a golf club at the overzealous reporter mob Yeah, thats what they're telegraphing - I thought she'd be the first kill, but no. ... poor KIKI Thats what I thought at the start, but the story better be awfully fricken good, because not only is he married but the mistress-apparent, is already someone elses mistress ... his DAD. Do they really expect us to believe he's gonna fall in love with that? Don't think this will play out as a typical revenge drama. It was billed as a tragedy, and I kinda see that playing out. - FL clearly wants to find Little sister, not realizing she already has. When she does, she will almost certainly try to save her from herself - Dad also clearly misses his lost daughter, and will try to calm the FL down if she tries to go to war with Little Sister - Adoring step brother has a severe crush on Little sister further complicating matters - Grandma clearly dislikes Little Sister, but does she/ will she approve of the FL? - Still alot of other supporting characters in complex situations that could fall either way All this, and we still don't know what the FL said to Little sister in the beginning. That will probably be the lynch pin in all of this, after they've tore their mutual worlds down fighting each other, the FL will realize she had a hand in setting Little Sister on this path and will sacrifice herself in someway to try and make amends. Seeing this, Little Sister will come to realize everything she was told about her big sister desperately searching for her was actually true. ... and then I get my 3 x Unni's

Nothing out of the ordinary - out of MIA is a surprise though, thats one of their larger stations.

North American airlines with the best on-time performance for 2023 Delta Air Lines – 84.72% of flights on time. Alaska Airlines – 82.25% of flights on time. American Airlines – 80.61% of flights on time. United Airlines – 80.04% of flights on time. Southwest Airlines – 76.26% of flights on time. Weather is by far the largest contributor to airline cancellations - it also turns normal on-time maintenance into delays - nothing gets repaired faster/on time in blowing snow or freezing rain.

So subs finally showed up for episodes 9 & 10 ... - looks like we have a missing son for Chairman Romeo ... Grandma told another he'd be younger than our 2ML but the monk, who supposedly foresaw it, never actually said that ... looks like sketchy lawyer ML maybe the company heir ... who still hasn't made an appearance 10 episodes in - Little Sister as the would-be tragic villain is outshining the FL. The initial art cafe face off was great, although the FL did get the last word in the end. - Crazy Aunt has become my favorite character - the monk, the waiter, the bar patron, getting dumped via text, nightclub singing ... Please writer-nim, don't make her evil
-
So after the ending of todays episode I just gotta ask, is Little Sister some sort of crafty or has she actually gone bye-bye? Also dark clouds seem to be forming around Art MIL, I hope she doesn't self check out. ... and there I was liking Crazy aunt and then she had to go pick on the staff

[Drama 2024] Queen of Divorce/Great Problem Solver, 끝내주는 해결사
LeftCoastOppa replied to larus's topic in k-dramas & movies
I'll just leave this here ... -
So 6 episodes in and I still can't quite place the battle lines in this drama. - FL & Little Sister are obvious, but little else - Chairman Romeo doesn't seem to want to fight with anyone, including his soon to be dead ex-wife - FL's money hungry mom & her drunk companion only seem to want to fight with each other - Crazy aunt just seems to be enjoying the show - Grandma seems to hate everyone and barely tolerates Crazy aunt - 2ML seems like a nice guy so far, but that display in todays episode is sure telegraphing his bromance with the FL's step brother is headed for trouble - FL's dad & aunt seem to be typical concerned elders - We still haven't seen the ML sketchy Lawyer yet ... and there's no way little sister texted the FL and said ... hi lets meet ... outta the blue and actually intends to meet. Who ever the FL meets tomorrow, it won't be little sister.
-
I think the MIL's death will be the twist - We know about it before we see the first episode, and of course little sister due to her affair is the likely suspect, but what if someone else picked up on that? What if sketchy lawyer ML has a bone to pick and is using her as cover for his own designs? What if the sisters drunk money obsessed mother finds out about her daughter and wants to clear her a path to riches thinking it'll benefit herself? What if Grandma is tired of the scandal of divorce on her family name? We know she already won't let crazy aunt divorce. I think little sister will definitely be accused/suspected of murder but it'd be a crap/tepid story arc if she actually does it. Little sister can't be the only baddie in this drama. No, that was her choking out the FL. Looked like a dream sequence to me. That scene was gold Whoa! Good catch - we got the coveted 3 x Appa's in episode 5 ... ones almost inaudible but she does say it 3 times.
-
For all of it, No. Some of it, Yes. The parents are clearly responsible for the break up, but the children had been split. Our FL then spoke up and changed that plan, and little sister not blameless either, she allowed herself to be bribed with a stuffed rabbit. Sorry, the FL doesn't get to play innocent angel, she had a part to play in all this, even if she should not have as a 9 year old child. Of course little sisters going to go off, but somewhere after all the horrid things are done and said, after the reality of the life that little sister lived, as well as the FL are aired for all, I suspect that FL's step brother who seems destined to crush on little sister, will beg his big sister to reconsider, and that coupled with either our ML or 2nd ML will remind her how she had always searched for little sister, our FL (who set us on this path) will be the one to offer the olive branch/self sacrifice that will ease little sisters wounded soul and reunite the sisters. ... and that will be a kumbaya ending worth watching
-
Okay then what does a 7 year old little sister know? That she was lied to? Betrayed? Abandoned? Thats the tragedy in all this - the 2 sisters loved each other but were put in a terrible situation and from what we've seen thus far it was our FL that started them them down this path. Clearly, little sister is going to be a baddie at the start - she's carrying a grudge that right or wrong big sister started - The writers in this drama have the basis for truly engaging story. What will the FL do when she finds out that her adversary is actually the long lost little sister she's been searching desperately for? What will little sister do when she finds out that her target wasn't all smiles and rainbows and was actually searching for her all along? How many daily drama's do we bemoan for giving us a kumbaya ending where it isn't deserved? This is one case where I'll go out on a limb at only 5 episodes in and say that if we DON'T get a kumbaya ending, if either sister goes to jail and/or dies, then the writers have wasted a great story. JMHO
-
Jail time .. already? For what ... a botched wedding crash attempt? This FL actress did a great job in Miss Montecristo as a heroine gone dark - I think it would be great to see a more nuanced grey character, remorseful for what she may have inadvertently triggered as a child in a terrible situation. We still don't know what the FL told her sister when they parted. The FL may end up with some dirt on her hands in all of this.
-
So after the first week ... I'm actually really interested in this drama ... I know, shocked me too So many questions - - Where is the ML cleverly disguised as a sketchy lawyer? - The second ML is actually making me root for him, if he becomes a bad guy now, I might actually be disappointed - If little sister is going to be the villainess in this drama, she has to learn to channel those emotions - breaking down into a puddle of tears every time she's reminded of the past is already starting to get old. - How will art director MIL die? We know from the character synopsis that she's not long for this drama, but is she killed or does she self check out? Who would kill her ... little sister, Chairman Romeo, Grandma? - Will the FL's half brother go after little sister? Will he succeed? ... not sure if I'm okay with that - Will FL's dad actually hookup with ML's crazy aunt? ... credit to @maribella ... the whole time he was getting his hair done, and his sister kept going on about him, that's all that kept coming to mind I did finally see the original trailers w/subs, and it seems this was being billed as more a tragedy than revenge which I find intriguing. Can one survive 100+ episodes rooting for everyone to just get along? Yeah, Chairman Romeo is hard to stomach, Grandma is comic-book villain, and the wedding was more goofy than shocking ... but I like it ... and I will have my 3 x Unni's
-
Yes, Chairman Yoon's sister ... black lingerie lady ... the guy she was force kissing wasn't the FL's dad.
-
That guy wasn't the FL's dad OMG! The FL is actively looking for her sister, and a woman has a shocked/unhinged reaction to seeing a necklace she got as a child ... no lights? no bells or whistles went off? ... maybe a candle flicker?
