I mean power, and money struggle. Always in all medical kdrama, but in real I don't know much about Korean medical practice, but in my country, what giving headache to people who works or related to the industry is always budget. How government cut the budget, until some government hospitals are re-cyling single use devices to save money. The money is there, but not channel properly.

The same thing happens in my country. The insurance companies don't want to pay a lot of money, the government is taking away the affordable insurance programs for people that don't get insurance from their employers, it's a mess because there's no reason there is not enough money to give people the best health care without bankrupting them. It is just a big for profit business. I think the whole premise about helping sick people has gotten lost w/greed. Mianhae for the rant,  because  I love medical dramas, there's something about them. I can't wait to watch this one since we have 2 good leads and a writer that I have heard good things about his/her's work.

What NMH did was send KPJ a letter detailing the CEO recruitment guidelines,  in my opinion it's a way for her to ask him to come back.  KPJ choosing to give Pil joo back his name at the bee farm and leaving to enter the CEO competition is his way of saying he wants to come back. Lastly remember what NMH told Eun Cheon about him not being happy if he can't use his real name. 

It's like he knew he would go to jail for what he had helped the family do and was always prepared for it.  Got out, retired to his bee farm but when NMH asked him to come by sending the application, he did come back as JEC. I feel that of course, they are going to hire him back as the CEO and that he is getting a new beginning for his life. He is finally going to get together w/NMH. I would have loved to have seen them walk together hand in hand into the sunset, maybe share a deep kiss but I'm good w/the ending. At least he is getting a new lease on life. 

This has to be one of the best dramas I've watched.  The acting was flawless, the story never got boring, I didn't have to ffwd a minute of it.  What made it so much more special was getting to read everyone's insight on it.

nmh is back to work at Cheong A Foundation.  She ask her staff to send a letter somewhere. Omo! It is sent to KPJ who’s alive!!! Flashback Nmh saved him at the rooftop. KPJ managed to recover & now is back at the office for a board meeting. Jbc saw him & had this strange look . Meeting over . KPJ walks out the building with nmh looking at him fr afar. He smiles to himself & the drama is over !! 

 

Seriously what kind of ending is this . Ok I need subs desperately 

 This is a strange ending but at least KPJ did not die. I was worried about it since everyone has mentioned that JH always dies in his dramas.

I am now more inclined to believe that JKH could be the one who wanted JSM to die. Maybe he knew all along that JSM was legally married to someone else and used JMR to get rid of JSM, JEC and JEC's brother. Notice that he has already done it before: NMH's car accident. JKH somehow wanted to get rid of NMH and only waited for JMR's intervention.

You are so right, all this time I though JSM was the big evil now I can see your point that JKH used her to do the dirty work. I'm wondering what JEC has in store for her. I just can't believe that he is going to let her get away w/what she did to his family.

That's because JBC is as stupid as they come he should have realized after all those years that KPj has been around and saw what he was capable of he should have just sat back and watch no he tried to flex his power only to be strip of his position by KPJ..  The fight between old man and G/son his just awesome.

You would have thought he has a clue but he is just too arrogant, entitled and dumb.  SHM, SMH he will never measure up to JEC.

I have always said that the real big enemy is Jang K.H. because of his selfishness and greed, he created monsters around him. But the writer keeps surprising me as I hadn't expected that JKH would try to kill JBC so quickly. But the grandfather is on the losing end as he keeps losing his supports. I really want him to be sent to jail, not just for tax evasion and embezzlement but for murder.  

I can understand why KPJ doesn't allow JKH to call him "grandson" because who would like to be related to him? LOL 

I was always trying to give JKH the benefit of the doubt but I have to say you were right. He is just an evil, selfish and greedy man.  It does make sense that he would want to get rid of JBC. If the truth comes out that JBC isn't a Jang this scandal would cause his Cheong A to lose money. This way his grandson died and he can play the role of the bereaved grandfather. Omo, he is so disgusting

 

@triplem   Thanks for the recaps chingu My head is spinning reading about everything that happens this week. Looks like we are going to be on a wild ride again this week.

I think i prepared myself well because i DIDN'T CRY~~~ I enjoyed the MV and the album ^^ Except...'Before our Spring'...which'll probably be the thing to make me cry tomorrow when it comes out in video form...

I will treasure this album more than ever for you Jjongie~ IT HAS SO MANY GOOD SONGS~~~

You did better than me, I watched it last night and couldn't help but tear up a bit. ( The reality hits here and there) I enjoyed the song. I'm sending a BIG CONGRATULATIONS your way. I'm so happy that you're going to be able to support our SHINee.

 

Chingus I ordered  JJongs album at YesAsia, I won't get it for a few weeks but I found it on youtube w/lyrics for each song and I have to say it as made me so sad again. That I began to write this post Tuesday but was not able to finish it. Now it's Friday morning in my part of the world, I have finish getting dressed for work but just wanted to check in. I'll be back this weekend to react to everyone's posts. Love you guys, I love SHINee Thanks for being here

Seriously JBC, u want to send JEC to NY! So funny really, u don’t know who u are dealing with. And stupid as u are, u have been with him for years, you should have seen what he is capable of. Plain stupid!  

JBC is delusional, he actually tells JEC to his face what his plans are to ice him out of the company. Didn't he learn anything when JEC was in a coma and the company was in so much trouble? It's not like he did anything to help. SMH SMH. He has just let his new found power get to his head.

Now here is the next question: what will JKH do after hearing that he has been fooled by JBC and JMR for so many years? Since he looked at JSM's picture in the necklace and talked to JSM, it is clear that JKH liked his eldest son JSM which leads me to the conclusion that JKH was not responsible for JSM's death. Maybe he felt guilty for removing the mask. So will JKH choose JYC as his legitimate heir or finally accept JEC?

 I'm thinking after he figures a way to get JBC and JMR out, which is not going to be easy, that JKH may want to go w/JYC. It doesn't really make a lot of sense since JEC has pretty much outmaneuvered both him and his father but I have a feeling JKH is going to be stubborn and stick to his no illegitimate child can be the chairman.  I hope that JKH will be curious about JEC and try to really see what happened to him as a child, I don't think he will since his world is really being rocked and I'm not so convinced he didn't know JMR did 'something' to them.  I hope he/writer surprises me,  what am I writing? This drama has had so many twists and turns that everything I think is going to happen doesn't. It's always better than I had imagined.

[[Drama 2017-2018] Money Flower 돈 꽃]

  Omo, this drama has always moved fast but this week it is on fire.

                          

This scene where Jang Eun Cheon, introduces himself  as Jang Soo Man's son to Jang Kook Hwan is so powerful.  I love that he isn't begging to be recognized but is just telling him who he is and what he wants from him.  I loved the goodbye kiss, how he just crushed Mal Ran but  I have to say the mini war of strikes and counter strikes between grandson and grandfather is so compelling and now the man behind all of the power of Chong A has met his match.

                          

I love it, I can't wait to see what the next battle will bring.  If word gets out that JBC is a fake, this will be very damaging to Chong A. As much as I want to see JMR's reaction to JEC's announcement, I'm dying to find out what happens to JKH after this damning news. Will he agree to now making JEC the Chairman? What does JEC want for his revenge?

 

@philosophieI do agree since JMR was the adult in charge when KPJ came to live w/ them her attraction does have that yuck factor since she raised him w/her children. Having said this,  I think people should get out their dictionaries or google the definition of what pedophile actually means because this is not the case w/JMR's lusting over KPJ/JEC. I think @UnniSarah is right that since she has no one around her, that she has begun to love him as a man. No matter how old you are it would be hard not to feel an attraction to him but it is totally inappropriate to act on it given he grew up w/her son. Jang Hook is a chemistry magnet, he is rocking the chemi w/both actresses.

But him not kissing back shows he can’t. However for a moment, his heart took over & he grabbed her hand , only to let it go. Noooooo.

Oh my even though he didn't kiss her back, he let her hand go and didn't grab her in for a proper kiss, I'm ok with this for now. I'm with you noooo  the chemistry they have is just electric, we have to get at least one deep kiss before this drama is over.

Why am I bothered...there are two more weeks...so what could possibly happen after this...KPJ's been authenticated, JBC has been proven a fake, maybe JMR will be charged with murder....so I am uneasy that it may not be smooth sailing from here...

 

What an ending...I almost screamed!  MF is SO GREAT!  JH and LMS...aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

 

This show is going to go into overdrive, there is no way JMR and JBC are going to surrender anything. I say put on your seatbelts because this is going to be a wild ride now chingu.

I even tried to watch Minho in Somewhere 18, but since it deals with suicide...I just couldn't deal right now. 

I feel ya since I haven't been able to get into it either.  I just hate to watch anything that has to do w/bullying and the subject of suicide is just not appealing. I would have been cranky too that there wasn't a Jonghyun solo. I've watched a few of their concerts, my favorite is SHINee World III. I'm so happy for that you got to see them live. Jonghyun was the main speaker at the concerts I watched, he always led the conversation.  This is going to be a whole new world for them.

Just copy the link and paste it into your post and Thanks for answering @xoxo_yanna98 's question because I had no idea what the 'Onew Condition was too xoxo_yanna98 it's hard to come up w/a bias for SHINee too, every time  I start to get really attached to one another member just does something that grabs my attention. I keep up a lot w/Minho since he does the most dramas but I have to say our Key is catching up w/dramas and is truly a gifted actor. It's exciting to me to be able to watch our guys branch out.  I haven't had a chance to watch Onew in one yet and tried to watch Taemin's but I guess I took too long to watch it since I got locked out. Then there is our Jonghyun who to me is such a gifted singer. I believe he is truly one of the best in the world. I have all of his cd's except his newest one. I was going to give it to myself for my birthday on December 20th but it's sold out so I'm on Amazon and YesAsia's waiting lists. 

@shineeukshawol I hope you get tickets for the concert We will expect a full report.

The first detail that really caught my attention was the scene where NMH discovered her picture in the frame. It was hidden behind a picture of a duck taken by JEC/KPJ. This is no coincidence that he hid it behind the duck. Remember that he shot a duck in order to create the encounter between JBC and NMH. In my opinion, the duck embodies NMH. The shooting as such symbolises the arranged marriage between NMH and JBC. When he planned the marriage, he hurt her (the shooting). But back then he didn't know that she was the one who saved him. A lot of qualities in NMH correspond to the meaning attached to the duck:

Hey, chingu so happy you're back I've missed your analysis of our dramas. I just marathoned  14 - 16 and felt there was a big significance of the picture being behind the duck as the time he saw her again but wow you do as always take it to another level.

 

You are so right about JBC, I hoped that he would see how JEC/KPJ (chingus are we going to stop calling him KPJ?) was his only friend despite the bad blood, he would at least see the KPJ did think of him as a brother but no. He has to show his greedy, entitled, spoiled behind and just be so delusional that he, his cousin and uncle will be able to beat KPJ. Does he realize that once the Jangs know who he really is that they will drop him or that they are just using him to get the company? He is showing that he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.  When PJ was in the coma the company was floundering, getting investigated by the prosecutor's, I just don't know why the Jang's are thinking they could do a better job since KPJ has been cleaning their messes up for a while? I really think that it is going to be very interesting next week to see if grandpa loves his company more than his so called values of not letting a child born out of wedlock take part in the company. He has to know KPJ is the only one that's going to be able to take the company to new heights. I think that grandpa will at first welcome him only to try to stab him in the back. It's going to be interesting to see these two wage war.   

 

NMH will come back to KPJ, she still loves him or she would never let him hug her.  I hope next week we get more than a hug. I'm sorry (not sorry) for being so greedy but I'm waiting for a passionate kiss.

This was filmed around Nov 2016, prior to his MS. The movie was originally scheduled to release in the first half of 2017, but somehow delayed.

 

At his last public event, '10thank you cruising party' in Japan, he mentioned that he had cut his hair short not because of MS, but because of the specific occupation of the character in this movie. Finally, we will be able to see fighter jet pilot, Kang Young Woo, soon.   Looking forward to it.

I'm so looking forward to seeing him too. Thanks for the update.

He filmed it before his MS. According to Asian Wiki, the movie was shot between 9/16 to 12/16.

Are you going to go?  If you are ready, I would LOVE for you to go!  I've read the statements from each member.  I loved how they each handwrote their own, giving their own revelation about the decision process.  I'm sensing this will be a very memorable and emotional concert.  Cathartic in many ways, for the fans and even more so for the SHINee members.  They are amazing performers and I hope the crowds will give them the energy they need to work through the pain and process of performing as SHINee. And to find the joy that has been and will be a part of them.  Please consider going! 

 

I agree it's going to be sad but having a chance to support them would mean so much to them @shineeukshawol I hope you do consider it, I would love to go, if I had the chance to.

I'm happy you found it! I was going to guess this from SHINee world II.  His vocals on that song blew my mind.

 

@vivovivo, Of course, you are still a shawol. A lot of us have lives that we get caught up with. I think since the fandom has people of all ages it happens to a lot of us. Just remember you came here in when things became hard for us and that counts.

 

@annasedomo I have very busy between having a cold and now guests so I haven't been keeping up w/twitter/IG to see if we have had any news of our guys but I did see an article of a short interview Taemin did since 12/18, I believe I saw somewhere on IG that Minho resumed filming his movie and Key made an appearance on King of the Mask singer. I have not seen anything on Jinki but I have some time off and will check to see if we have any reports on whats going on.

JMR gives me the goose bump creeps she sits and waits around for KPJ like she's his lover. I think she will go after NMH again because of KPJ .. The way she looks at then talking is like a jealous lover and can't stand the fact that KPJ looks at another woman with a soft suttle look in his eyes a look he has never given to her.. The more NMh is around KPJ the more JMR will feel threaten that she's taking him from her.

 

I think JMR has treated KPJ like this throughout the drama. She thinks of him as her lover, if this was an American show  I would say she has been sleeping w/him for a while.  But since this is a kdrama they are just leaving us to think maybe, maybe not. They do seem to be raising that question w/him carrying her to bed etc... I agree now NMH is in more danger since JMR is going to be jealous and she does feel like KPJ is her possession, even BC thinks he owns him.  

@triplem Thanks for the bts It's awesome.
