    That Hiory’ B&B video how the words “Seung Gi” said least three times by Hyori first I thought it can mean something else, but Bo Gum hand gesture what is looks like Jibsabu’s logo and what the members use it seems really him was mentioned, but might we know better after translations ...

     

     

    Hyori said 숨기 (soom gi) which means "to hide"

    "Did you know a long time ago, you could hide your number while making phone calls?"

    "A long time ago, I had people I wanted to hide the caller ID from"

    "(but now) I have no one I want to hide myself from when calling"

    So i read in defence of the similiar ideas btw this drama and a novel...the hong sisters said they planned the storyline years ago....so this is not a rushed job.

    To quote the words of our beloved Son Oh Gong: “gaesori” @ their sad excuse.

     

    I was thinking how clever their writing/lines were in regards to the meta , but to see them butcher their (imo) best romance and SM’s character is probably one of the most irritating things I’ve ever had to experience. Why throw so many hopeful foreshadowing? Might as well have made Mawang the main character since he was the only one who got any semblance of closure. I’m thankful this cast was able to be brought together, and there will always be a special place in my heart for the good parts of Hwayugi, but I have a wound idk if I’ll ever be able to heal from.

     

    Whether the Hong Sisters really plagiarized or not, they just need to take a really long break from writing...

    This is a story in the Korean Daily about how people are displeased with the ending.  There is now a public outcry for a 2nd season. I used google translate to sort through it but if someone is game to translate feel free...

    http://www.koreadaily.com/news/read.asp?page=1&branch=&source=&category=entertainment&art_id=6044226

    Too little, too late imo. They should’ve done it right the first time. 

     

    If it’s true that Hwayugi was originally supposed to be 16 episodes then it’s even more infuriating what the Hong Sisters did. I don’t need or want a half assed 2nd season, when they already half assed the ending. It made me feel like OG when he said “My heart went through so much pain until now, but now you want me to ‘live well’?”

  5. There will always be a part of me that’s salty, but I’m mostly over the last episodes now. The Hong Sisters really need to give a deep bow to the cast and especially to LSG/CSW (and OYS who got the short end of the stick). They (Hong Sisters) clearly bit off more than they could chew and with all the plagiarism accusations they’ve had in the past, I think there is bound to be some truth to it. This is why I hope there won’t be a continuation of Hwayugi. The actors suffered so much in the cold to make this drama come to life, they deserve to work with better writers. 

    My two cents. lol

    Hong Sisters are under fire again..

    hence they should have known better to satisfy their loyal viewers

    now everything they do will be criticized

    It’s not for Black Bird, it’s for a Korean web series if I’m not wrong..but isn’t this more than twice now that the Hong Sisters are being accused of plagiarism? lol

     

    If it’s true, i feel so bad for the cast..

    and I’ll be gladly over that mess of a final episode.

    Btw, I kind of had a bad thought. What if since SM has OG's eye now so that he can recognize SM regardless of what she looks like, they're actually already setting up for a Hwayugi Season 2, but knowing that they may have to have different actors? Then, the mystical eyes could be used to explain why SM looks different. And, then if LSG isn't available, they can just note that OG as a god changed his appearance since they can do that. Hmm, I'm really not excited about a season 2 of this drama. Sorry.

    Oh dear god, I hope they don’t make a season 2 either...

     

    Most of us were invested in LSG+OSY and their chemistry which is why this show worked...Idk how they’d pull it off again with different actors. I tried to get over that ending but I just ....  Hwayugi was my weekend escape from reality and (not to be dramatic) but for it to end like that just spiraled me into a deeper darkness. I was so ready to forgive all the flaws if we got that true “happily ever after”. lmao.

    Lesson learned: don’t become too emotionally invested in that one TV show.

    How was the final guys? Happy or sad? Scared to watch it. Happy ending right???

    Technically it's happy, but you'll feel extremely empty and unfulfilled.

     

    ........ after 10+hours I'm still ??? I wish they lengthened the Namsan Tower scene and just ended it there.

    About the Netflix deal, as much as I would love a season 2 I highly doubt it will happen as it's not happened for other shows (as far as I know).

    Hi! I have a. question ... Any comments of knetizens?

    On Hwayugi gallery I have seen comments like "Hong Sisters, retire", "if you have a conscience stop writing". LMAO

    But yeah the general consensus there (from what I've seen) is people unsatisfied with the ending.. I wouldn't be surprised if the ratings dropped considering most people watched it for otp.

     

    Sorry, to me no matter how "logical" the ending may seem to some, it is still not logical to end like that imo because the plot is illogical to begin with and all the foreshadowing. They just couldn't give us at least 2 seconds of closure could they.

  10. I guess I don't watch enough kdramas, but I'm still in shock at how "famous" writers could be so bad at wrapping up plot. In retrospect, the plot was indeed messy but it can't have been too hard if they looked at the big picture. PLUS they had so much leeway considering this is a fantasy drama where logic is allowed to fly out the window. Also the number of women vs guys that died in the drama irritated me tbh? like PK should've died from that lighter or something... gosh that ending was like going on a long treasure hunt to find nothing. It's almost as if they didn't want to make a DVD that's why they made a finale like that. lmao

     

    This was a great comeback role for LSG since he still looked cool at the end, but OYS deserved better ... :(

  11. I'm fine with the story being about MW+OG's journey, but here's my issue: why call it "absolute romantic exorcism story" and throw us a richard simmons ending like that? Yes, the GGG loose end was tied up (and the scenes were beautiful) but imo there was no need for so much filler/flashback and that amnesia trope (or at least don't have it take up so much time). There are still more unanswered questions, and Hong Sisters had a chance to answer them but ugh... and since they rehashed OG's lines from early episodes, they should have had SM call his name to bring it full circle! I would've been ok if the episode ended like that.

     

    I sincerely hope LSG and OSY can work on a project again together in the near future (with better story writers)

    I'm sorry to cut your post, but isn't OG saving the human world bcos SM asked him to. If I'm not mistaken SM said it before her death that OG will do anything SM ask, bcos OG said that before to SM right? That he will do anything SM ask him.. well, please correct me if I'm wrong. 

     

    As for the CGI for the dragon I am totally agree with you, the glutton monster was better than the dragon. 

    You are correct.

    .. imo OG is saving the human world bc SM loves it (and SM is his world) 

     

    The CG disappointed me as well, but I mean it's a kdrama for crying out loud ... if we expect super high quality we might as well watch a Hollywood production. lol

  13. OYS and LSG moved my cold dead heart with their chemistry ... I honestly never feel anything when I watch a couple in a kdrama but this is one of the few(or only?) times I’ve actually cried more than once. lmao 

     

    I was was a bit upset at the ep 20 preview but I’ll still keep my fingers crossed for a good ending...otherwise I’ll need to buy a new phone tomorrow because I’ll throw mine across the room. :’)

    Preview translation:

    MW: The unreasonable things that you are doing now, is for the sake of letting SJ survive?

    ASN: I am just doing what I am able to do.

    ASN: To unleash the world I exist in

    SJ: The owner of that position cannot hide (?)

    SJ: If it's like this, the world will be in chaos

    OG: You/She (?) came because you/she believed?

    Subori: This is SJ's choice

    SJ: You can't stop anything

    OG: I've already said to let me do it!

    MW: The reason why you are pushing yourself like this, is it solely to save Sam Jang?

    The bold line means the person OG is talking to/about believes that something will save that person from the situation they're in.

    SJ: You won't be able to obtain anything.

     

    And I think ASN is talking about unleashing the dragon but I'll let someone else translate. lol

    Hello.. welcome to the thread. No idea about that. Which IG account you see. Instagram used to give a tick sign if it's one of the celeb account as i know. Maybe it's his fanpage account. Others can give the answer to this maybe. Or you can go to his thread. 

     

    They're talking about his official IG account.. honestly there is no way for us to tell why he doesn't have the tick but my guess is because he only started frequently using his account again (after a long period of no use) since December. I'm pretty sure he'll get one in the near future considering he gets thousands of followers per day. haha

  16. For the love of god, stop trying to validate yourself Emma. It’s clear to me, and many others here that you just don’t like the female character. You need to stop and take a step outside if you think a woman taking the initiative to kiss a guy is immoral. If you were trying to better explain your concerns you sure did a richard simmons job at it, and best not to post at all since all your posts have been trolling whether you think so or not.

    It was still a kissing scene in bed rated 18+ and kissing someone who doesn't wants to is counted as sexual harassment. Since he had the bracelet on him, it tornadoes matter what he said he wonted or how powerful he is, because the bracelet's magic can control his brain and feelings. She didn't know whether he loved her FOR REAL or felt like she loves her because of magic and still kissed him. It can be a magical bracelet, new drugs or mind controlling microchip - still counts as mind control and is on of the modern ethic dilemmas. 

    Except your point about OG “not wanting to be kissed” is moot because the bracelet no longer controlled him at that point? (Even if he did put it back on)

    Have you been paying attention to the drama? The bracelet didn’t control his brain, and he wasn’t some mind controlled robot at any point of the story.

    If you are bringing up SM kissing him, why aren’t you saying anything about OG’s jealousy kiss then? It’s pretty much the same thing by your standards. ... but anyway I won’t reply to this anymore.

    As a kind,compassionate and rightful human being Sunmi first worried about controlling someone's mind with the power of the bracelet. Still when she fell in love with SO , even if she thought his love was fake, that he didn't really and consciously love her, she not only kissed him, but had sex with him in the last ep. 
    Don't know how you felt about it (maybe you were blinded by their hotness), but I felt pretty much disgusted. We don't need TV series with rape culture messages in it. Forcing someone to intimacy is wrong (even if he did love her, she didn't know that so it's not an excuse for her). 

    First of all, we don’t know for sure what happened on the bed aside from the kissing. Second, OG is the one who said “he won’t stop”  so idk where you are coming from with this “forced intimacy”? Lastly, if OG didn’t want it, he is powerful enough to stop her so ... imo you’re just finding excuses to hate on the female protagonist. lol

  19. no bts for our otp but OYS finally has screen time

    http://tv.naver.com/v/2784954

     

    "What's in store for SJ and OG?

    OYS-"a beautiful happy ending maybe? I personally really want a happy ending, but I don't really know what the writers have in mind"

     

    "What are demons to SJ?"

    OYS-"Bad. But they're an existence you can't hate. You love and hate them at the same time."  and she said she was able to experience a lot of things because she met demons (and Secretary Ma) so it was really fun  .... so cute with Lee El. T_T

    I thought this was funny. haha

    I feel like the "grandson" knows a lot more than he lets on.

     

    ASN is not a character I like at all, but I hope she can redeem herself.

    I can't believe next week is the last week..... T_T

     

    About the baby, the mom irl said they were done with filming so I'm assuming it has nothing to do with the ending. (Or they filmed the ending already) but idk
