  1. @egv same here, I'd also like to know if OSTs are going to come out as well :D

     

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. for me all I know is Itaewon Class stint had me going for 3 months, I was happy and excited more delulu lol felt frustrated at some point but overall it became my #1 Drama.. maybe because I've fallen so hard with Ji Yi Seo and Kim Da Mi. Park Seo Joon is already a top tier actor and as expected he was brilliant throughout but (for me) KDM is the masterpiece of the show.. she made JYS my most favorite FL, she's just crazy good. 

     

    The drama was terrific for me, I thought with the story flow and build up.. I was pretty sure that'll come a tad bit short at the end as I'm not really a fan of this Love Triangle that lasts almost forever. At first they convinced me that SRY truly loves OSA in the long run I realized no, that wasn't the case.. he just felt the attraction from the first time feeling admired and that OSA (PNR) is a beauty. Am I saying it's just attraction or puppy love? no, I still consider it as genuine love romantically.. she was his first love that's just how it is, but she wasn't the one, the one that'll made his heart beat like anything before.. the one that he had no idea what and how much it hit him.

     

    One only thing I hate about the show, is that they made me hate OSA in the beginning.. gosh I felt so bad throwing stones from someone who swore to fought injustice by her own method, it wasn't as glorious as SRY but she suffered as much as he does.. she might not be blood related but she was hurt and retaliated like a real daughter. I'm glad how they compensate her lol kidding aside, she deserves to be free and happy like how she wish for SRY, her "daebak" speaks VOLUME we all know she's tellin the freak^n truth.

     

    Also commending they finally gave SK his moment :lol: he gave me almost all the laugh in the show, but his character is truly unique and the most realistic one for me. He is not special nor had an exceptional abilities in the show.. he was simply woken up by SRY's conviction that made him realize to believe in himself that he also deserve and is worthy of a decent life.

     

    Itaewon Class, FIGHTING! Each one of the cast had been stellar that goes for the whole production as well. Manse! 

    (P.S. I hope they publish the webtoon in English Subs.. also release blue-ray DVD and OST too ;) *wishful*)

     

    Back to lurking mode, looking forward to the next drama that'll make me come out of the cave again...

  2. @Alice Wonderland On point, YS and SRY was written constantly that makes it more appealing.. I get what you mean by slowly changing them into a cryfest, they change them in a way that their characters distinction or identity is suddenly lost, with IC you see that those change are actually developments, progresses with the character traits still being intact. 

     

    EP 12 highlights for me:

    • SRY got schooled. "Freedom comes with a price." (This was deep :tears:)
    • MHY fighting the world. Poem.
    • JYS is no kid. She's being an adult sucking up her personal problems, fighting and taking responsibility head on.
    • OSA getting rejected. (It seems for me that for once, SRY acted cool for JYS infront of OSA)
    • TK's grandma. (Lol, I knew it :phew:)
    • Ms. Kang still being active on the drama. OSA should've stick with Ms. Kang as a mentor.

    Preview.. FINALLY, JYS with long black hair :wub: and SRY looking slick B) the I LOVE YOU-fest is coming kyaa~ :w00t::rolleyes::wub:

  3. Be putting this on spoiler, sorry late replies :sweatingbullets: 

     

    Spoiler

     

    @NaYouSabi? I think he'll eventually come to that, you need to suffer the pain first.. comes next is acceptance then greater maturity. It really sucks coz this kind of family matters happen in reality. Where you just have to live your life not wanting to get involve with them ever again, but still cares :mellow:

     

    @Alice Wonderland @greenwatch08 This would be the perfect time for them to solidify that DanBam crew squad-goals.. they're going to hit rock bottom and be tested.. I'm looking forward on how they'll come together, patch things up and be stronger as ever.. Though I think MHY already got through JYS, JGS had been way before(I don't buy the JYS just used him) as for SK I'm pretty sure they're gonna be Tom and Jerry duo, with TK no idea probably mutual respect manager - staff relation.. that's just me concluding stuff up, but you know how the drama always slap me with correction after releasing new episodes :w00t:

     

    Hacker ahjumma is my fave character in Healer, she's just way too cool! Come to think of it, I first notice Extraordinary you with all the awards they were getting particularly the female lead I keep seeing articles.. the ML, probably my first time watching him, but the other guy I've known him from Search:WWW he's a rising star as well.

    I can't stop smiling along with YS when SR said he never kiss any girl before. LOL. Those smiles of her are just so pretty. And MHY's laughter is just addicting! 

     

    It's just great seeing how different the changes while she's being happy and being so heartbroken right after the next scene. 

     

    KDM is really something! I mean PSJ is a well known actor maybe one of the top tier in the industry.. but KDM is solely the reason I'm crazy waiting for fridays and saturdays :lol: that scene particularly broke my heart, as she was currently in cloudnine then here come SK setting up a wild fire..

  4. I feel terrible, my poor heart cries with YS :tears: I may borrow SRY's word "it's bound to happen" . It's heartbreaking how she had hope with the SRY's words can't blame the guy, from the start he seeks her for business advice. Their first encounter is just him really being upright and that's just him.

    Spoiler

    *bleep* my heart crushed when YS told him "I don't expect you to understand me... This is me", "see me for what I really am" the real score between SRY and YS. He seriously had no idea why is YS sticking or came to DanBam that just hurts so bad, GS and YS even threw huge hints but yeah can't blame the guy if he really had no feelings for her, romantically. At first, I thought she was really confident.. so it was all just 'fighting-style' she herself knew she doesn't stand a chance, she is willing to invest 2 years of her life to try and win him, *sighs*  the tenacity she learned from her boss, well thanks to SRY.. she won't waste couple years for that.

    Overall, I think YS liking SRY had her back in life.. I thought she just goes with it, I meant for DanBam crew was just all for SRY.. but it wasn't the case, I was badly mistaken. She did adjust, tried to be understanding and eventually accepted the things she'll never bat an eye with before, her relationship with HY proves that she grew in a +note.

     

    With TK didn't see that coming all I thought was the grandma in the alley was someone who is somehow related to Jangga Co. HY sure knows what's going on, she's a manager material. SK thinks the same with the chestnut minus the mischievousness (romance dept) GS, hmm.. GS is digesting everything, man-ing up with his decision.. Yea sure he's acting the bad guy with the chef but he did the right move, for me it's all just reality hitting him hard in regard of business.. but went a total jerk with truth or dare game, jerk in a way that it's excusable for me, imo. Romantic feelings will always have expectation just like JYS with SRY.. GS is claiming a mark on her and is checking on where he stands, I mean his purpose maybe selfish but it also helps JYS to get her feelings across.. but was still a trash move. Gotta say, GS he just earned a spot on the poker table.

     

    Now that it seems JYS is going MIA for a while, clearly seen on the preview that JYS is the brain of DanBam we'll see the team struggle without the bad richard simmons kid leader also the perfect time to know if the drama could hold the glamour. 

     

    Personal thoughts: No hard feelings with SRY, he simply doesn't like her back. JYS tasting her first defeat, looking forward on how she'll manage. HY, GO GIRL!!! SK the catalyst lol. SA, glad that she's finally back on track with her character. I'm nervous with 5 episode left with the pending time skip, I seriously hope that it's not going to look like it's being rushed.

  5. @Alice Wonderland It's unfortunate really.. but the show is trying to convey a message so I'll keep my faith with JGS and SRY till the end. That plan is what I'm hoping for and wish it will be done discreetly like an unsung hero :phew: -- For romance part.. exactly! it's way more interesting than waiting the mildang-trope-unrequited kind of drama. I bet she's gonna leave.. her sole reason is SRY and none of the crew is really bonding tight with her.. I also want to see how others(danbam crew) would truly accept JYS as she is, I mean for me it kinda feels they are just tolerant about her. Someone already mention about being "solid" (DanBam as a team) as of now I don't see the density of it. Why I wonder using more time by dragging the triangle when there a tons of thing to work on, like hmm? showing us how the crew is little by little forging the foundation to have the same relationship with one another, like they have with SRY :huh:

    Spoiler

    no worries I'm having a hard with the initials too, but I mix up more is JGW and JGS a lot so I do a lot of re-read before posting.

    ---

    On another note, I have no idea with ratings.. I disregarded 'ratings thing' long time ago. There are hit dramas like Healer who failed to garner the jackpot domestically but is immensely popular international. Same with ML. but with cable tv I have 0 knowledge on how they works. Sure casting top tier artist is a way to start but what I like the most with cable TVs is the kind of drama they produce, it's not all about romance, there's wide variety of narrative they cultivate. All I know is they introduce me to a lot of characters who's got a little name on the industry and turns out really great. Even giving chances to the idols who's trying to take acting career, Misaeng is a perfect example.

  6. @Alice Wonderland I know it's frustrating but that's how he is different from the Father and Brother duo. He values family even if it's rotten, he once left the household.. before he feels not needed which is true, he is only a 2nd option by Chairman Jang. The difference before now and then is right now Chairman Jang is getting screwed and might go under, you see the dilemma he was at the rooftop then HY assures him that what he feels is normal, blood is blood. To me that's like 40% of the reason, sooner or later he had to leave DanBam coz involve or not personally he already has an ill fated relation with SRY tho if it was just GS without the J they could really be brothers. The rest probably is his growing spurt of emotion towards JYS, it's really hard to be a bystander while watching the one thing you treasures the most is being disregarded by someone else.. that ignited him to take YS away. It's pretty much evident when JGW went to DanBam for scouting JYS, he said 'Whatever it is, don't mess with YS' that certainly says he's prepared and more than willing to go through hell to protect JYS, we all know that his father and brother is his demon.

     

    I KNOOOW! This romance thing is not handled carefully, they tested the waters for too long and probably will for 1-2 more episodes. It's getting frustrating.. I'm not really sure what they're trying to do this time? slow-burn romance then a sudden time skip? :unsure: Yikes.

    you hit it right on the head. One of the things this drama has shown me was how people are just so prejudiced and unforgiving with a woman for even having the temerity to defend herself, protect her loved ones and to not take any bullying from anyone whether they be young or old or even from a man.... could it be the reason why they like Soo Ah was because Soo Ah chose to not fight and that they think that is how a girl should react? Do people really think we women can’t speak up and fight for our rights?

    Strong women are despised everywhere from personal life to professional setting. They becomes btchs, if they have guts to call out people and make their presence feel around. But a man will be called strong headed and will be looked in awe. Nothing new..

    yes abuse is not good but here in case things are different. and most men and women will react like this in real situations when some one is acting like a jerk. She did nothing wrong and i thanks writer for writing a non typical female lead character who elevates this drama with her great acting skills.

     

    VERY WELL SAID!

  8. @ari_bian Yeah.. honestly it's frustrating how she needed to go that far, showing how SRY doesn't even have the 1% idea of something. Thus she ended with the conclusion that his head is just full of Jangga Co. then there goes JGW who had to receive her pent up annoyance. Probably HY is the most quick witted, aside from JGS who knew what's going on. :tears: We have to wait for another week to see.. I mean I'm basically cussing while watching.. why the hell doesn't he have a clue on why JYS chose DanBam when she has like none absolutely nothing to gain in her stead talking about career-wise and it wasn't even her dream, she didn't have one to begin with. More over she's not the nosy type to care with other's affairs. Get a clue :ph34r: but that's just me losing it :w00t:

     

     @serenilmauve The biggest dilemma for forum users, I do use other sites too.. rips. probably but the layered advertise and pop-ups are a real headache.. I just gave up <_<

     

    EP 10 (thoughts)

    Spoiler

    Can't believe KMJ went down that quick, what happen with the plan B? I was expecting it :tears: but yeah before going down she gave SRY another push. When SRY said it's still bitter damn felt that in every way possible. It seems that the timeline or they really are changing some focal point in the webtoon, I wonder if the Gwangjin gave his pass on it. Confession up coming next, I don't know what JGS is cooking but it seems he wants to fight for JYS without handicap, but he broke one rule.. he did get in JYS's way for that. Gosh I'm so excited for JGS pumping it up, OSA looks surprise or scared (I really can't figure her out) witnessing Chairman Jang in action himself, she's somehow looking admired? something in realization? scared? :sweatingbullets::huh: A low hunch that JGS hold a fair play on why Chairman Jang threw JGW off the bus. Gotta say Chairman Jang is a real piece, might say he's too cruel but he does pampered him with everything he has, like LHJ says. For the preview, I don't know how to feel with that.. basically everything was serve on the table for SRY, then he goes to say something and cited JYS as a 'kid' hmm, there goes the argument.. he's not seeing her as a woman as of this moment. The idea of having someone to challenge him or a competition to realize that "some-thing" is not sitting right with me :mellow:

  9. Itaewon Class never fails to amuse me, from plot twist, angst,  especially the story flows perfectly. Here's my 2 cents on EP 9

     

    ( had to put it in a spoiler tag, I spouted a little bit too much :sweatingbullets: )

    Spoiler

     

    I with all my sanity loathes JGW.. he's a jerk, he's twisted, he's dumb, he's just too cocky who hides behind his papa Jang. Can't believe I'll be writing this.. For once I pity him, he blatantly confessed his sincere feelings, that his dream was as simple as that. If SRY is labeled as stubborn then JGW is darn tenacious as well.. a positive trait (1st time?) he shows his sincerity.. that's all because of his feelings for OSA. I mean, he has spoken the truth, it was an accident and he never once treated her in an unpleasant any ways.. yea sure he likes to show off but it was a boy wanting to impress the girl he likes. He's a boy that was given a scary thing from a young age, money and power. His moral roots were twisted from the very start.  I could tell he probably likes her for more than a decade despite receiving cold shoulders for years (didn't really show how much they knew each other from school) but hey look the boy is still smitten by hers.. probably the only similarities between JGW and JGS sharing the same fate in love. Time to pay for your crime. *prison waiving* :phew:

     

    JGS - This boy.. can I just keep him instead? B) jk aside. Total heart-rending is what I feel for him, only JGS knows JYS best. No one really values JYS like JGS does at this moment.. SK, HY, TK and even SRY has vague knowledge of her true intentions. SRY needs him for running DanBam, same goes for the other 3 they see her as a manager a colleague a damn brat but genuinely respects her-again on what she can do for DanBam. I'm not being a party pooper here, but JGS asked a question not only for SRY to take in mind same goes for everyone. The other crew could easily blend in and build camaraderie but that's not the case for JYS, the norm would find her hard to handle.. she really is. Now I'm torn apart, I do want JGS and JYS to end up together.. can't help but to patronize him he's absorbing everything for the sake of love, how much selfless he can be? :tears: my heart goes to you JGS! I certainly root for your happiness.

     

    I can't stop admiring JYS HOOOOOWLLLYY! I got the chills from her confrontation with JGW, she literally gave him the looks that can kill lol, JGW is doomed he's at the top list on whom she's going to hunt down. I'm blown away with her never failing confidence over her feelings, apparently I'm really convince that she's not even a bit threatened by OSA.. I'm literally astounded by it. On another note, who does that, being jealous and cute but still manage to be cool at the same time :phew::w00t::wub:totally loving the ultimatum she gave, that's how you make a statement.. somehow our SRY still haven't picked up a single thing, well I hope JGS succeed to knock some sense in him. A part of me wish that JYS would work in Jangga Co. along side OSA. Their banters holds more substance than the mildang trope SRY and OSA been playing. Hold up, I'm not downplaying their ship.. SRY is obviously head over heels with OSA.

     

     I'm not denying their mutual feelings, they understand each other like no other.. connection/history/maturity & mentality level?/deep perception towards one another.. it's like sugar/spice/and everything nice, they have all the complete recipe to be perfect for each other. However one just tiny-itty-problem she works at Jangga, she said it herself (intimate scene-their spotlight EP9) I'm perplexed why haven't they dated yet, the feelings is there, is still there... why? SRY is cool with her working in Jangga, OSA acknowledges it then should've been water under the bridge. What's holding them back? IMO, Their conversations are all truth and facts but somehow there's this unspoken truth-the wound that they just can't get honest with. Let me correct myself, OSA did her part she told SRY about how shitty she feels, she's throwing hints.. but SRY never opened up anything to her, she doesn't know how bitter his nights were, how hard the 7 years went by, how he got those bruises(prison). Maybe because they don't want to burden each other out, the very reason why they can't tear down that thin ice which separates them apart.

     

    Don't get me wrong :ph34r: watch tons of kdramas with Love-Triangle trope bunch of them failed imo.. even my all time favorite failed(ML), the only flaw I could say for IC. Ep 9 and SRY x SA is still going strong, I guess it'll only slow down at EP 10 and I'm not even confident with it..If they plan to hold this up like Reply Series then I don't think it's a good idea we all know who SRY will ended up with, while in RSeries you have to draw it yourself until the last couple episodes. 6 episodes is not long, romance is a component of the drama but not it's core, they have ways to go, they have just managed to pricked Chairman Jang atm (DanBam status), it seems like they are getting his attention but triumph is far-far ahead. Building up characters is one, and building up relationship is another.. I just hope they manage to fit everything organized and neatly done within the 7 episodes left. (I use Reply Series as a reference for it's well known LT-trope)

     

    It's a shame, I was expecting that Chairman Jang himself will scout her the 2nd time around.. I'm a bit disappointed it could have been more substantial more beefy and for sure it's gonna be a battle of wits. Well I guess, JGW was there to unleash the monster. Although JYS is not the only one learning, SRY backed down for once.. a progress right there. I can't wait will JGW be really thrown out.. errr hurry up saturday! If he does, then it's time for JGS to shine YEAHHH B) With a bold move from JYS, Jangga Co was shaken up. I'm not really sure what they're planning up for OSA, at the early episodes she was commendable with her work with Jangga but now they're downplaying her credibility, is she just going to snoop around SRY? I mean, as much as I like them bantering (JYS and OSA) I'd be more appeased if they give me a head to head official battle of profession ^_^

     

     

    LOL! I missed gushing over KDM's aegyo with just her voice over on the group chat. It got me squealing all over the place, with just her voice it seems like a HS kid stanning on her crush :lol: Yi Seo,Ro Yi, Love :w00t::wub: HAHAHAHHA!

  10. @serenilmauve It is, and a terrific point. I love your interpretations of their clothes that stays true or speaks a lot with the characters respectively. Same goes with their pub, as I see the exterior and interior of Jangga Co is quite the vintage type, distinctly opposite of DanBam. Now by looking at the press con photos again, I can now distinguish or it is easily distinguish who's side who's on, mean OSA and Chairman Jang is dressed uptight lol :rolleyes: Modern hanbok by Chairman Jang is aesthetically pleasing in my eyes, though in real life I'm a SRY and probably prefer Jangga Co for a night out. (I just love/prefer traditional ambience)

    Sorry, can't help you with that, not a clue on what Sae Ro-Yi means :sweatingbullets: I'd love to talk about more about the drama, but I'm afraid I have to call it a night my friend, it's 3 AM on my part of the world. It's been a while the last time I checked soompi, I only had the chance to back track probably 8 pages so far. The exchange of opinion in regard of OSA is quite intense.. not wanting a piece of that. On another note, discussion in regards of social stigma is profoundly being tackled by everyone, I'm learning a lot :wub: I'm a Jo Yi Seo bias B) she's in a class by itself in terms of FL and as a certain character.

     

    Do you guys mind if I ask where do you watch Itaewon Class? I'm watching it on Netflix but the subs keeps on changing, I'm not sure if they were updating it to be more accurate. I do want to go over other subs too, just to compare.

  11. @serenilmauve I'm going to vote for the chic style they went for any day! B) But I do love that they went webtoonie with chairman Jang, it's a rare one or I'm just not familiar with the kind of style.. but yeah pretty much tired with the chaebols-villainy going on full suit/tux ('makes a man') but again they were working on corporate formal attire is an ethic.

     

    I find it so amusing and charming how KDM pulls off every clothing she wears up until now.. gotta admit, I'm not the fashionable type..barely appreciate every clothing from kdramas as they were supposed to be stylish. JYS wears every sort and somehow I'm liking every outfit only exception when she wore a full boots :sweatingbullets: 

     

    KNR is dashing as always, if I heard it right? she's an idol turn actress right? she's definitely got the visual that cold eyes perfect for OSA. Meanwhile PSJ is a babe :wub:

    agreed, she drove me nuts looking for WW.. like srsly gurl, WHO JUST DRANK POISON FOR YOU A FEW DAYS AGO aigooooo I agree that they shouldve added more of her POV like a voice over of some sort. HAE SOOYAH let us in your head! lol It boggles my mind that the director failed to add these during crucial scenes but added it in the laundry scene.. :dizzy:

    I know right! I was like wth seriously? The dude came rushing with his sword.. the mere fact that he brought a sword in the palace will pretty much lead him to grave. I just can't accept the fact she's no worried about dying but more worried looking for the 8th prince that he should've see her? and the man currently going berserk.. not even a single thought.. I could make up one like, "Why is it you? Why is it you again?

I understand she's still hang up with WW, but it just makes no sense that when Wang So appears running towards her wielding a sword, in a palace ground.. even just a mere second they didn't even bother to show HS's POV on Wang So's surge of desperation
