[yumei86]

You're welcome

I always like dark dramas so I like the beginning...I guess we can relate to the story because lately the economy is bad and people just went crazy...hehe...

So true ppl are getting crazy these days...I'm not a fan of dark drama but i got the feeling that this is a good one.

It seems like no one is paying attention to this drama huh? Pity pity, hopefully ppl can watch this considering WITHS2 is subbing this rite?

[Guest Ishida21]

I made some screen captures from just few parts of this episode:

Ahn Nae-sang make a solid appearance in this first episode. He portrays a desperate person really well.

[Guest plumangel3]

thanks for the goodies, Luv, poptartsgurl, and Ishida21 :] I really appreciate it. And of course much thanks to WithS2 for taking on this project.

It really doesnt seem like many soompiers are on board with this one just yet. I'm definitely tuning in with this one; can't wait to watch it myself.

[Luv]

I can see why not many people are watching the drama.

It's targeting a specific group of viewers.

Lately dark dramas don't do very well in ratings & are not very popular.

And right now...with the economic crisis everywhere...people will want to watch something happier.

And the storyline...some can say it's a bit unrealistic & too melodramatic.

Anyway...I enjoy PYH's acting and enjoy watching the episode.

I guess you will either love or hate this drama...hehe...

Ishida...wow...thanks for organizing the first page...and all your contributions.

[Guest Ishida21]

Kei, the "handyman".

Kim Kang-woo is pure awesomeness .

Luv, thanks you too, I'm glad you have decided to make your combined screen captures for this drama .

Thanks a lot.

I haven't had time to go through the official site so I didn't watch any of the video clip they released yet.

There are so many clips at your youtube site...thanks...

Wow...I love Lee Philip's video clip...he has a good voice...seems a bit shy...hehe...

Hope to see him tomorrow..I was waiting for his scene but he didn't have any scene in episode 1.

Actually...I just read his character's description...it seems he won't come out any time soon.

The soonest... maybe next week. Maybe we'll get to see him in the preview or something...hehe...

lilcrash & sPark*...glad you see both of you.

Wow...I just saw the TNS rating for the first episode...

I was expecting a single digit figure but 6.6% or 6.8%( AGB) is surprisingly low.

I'm sure the rating will improve but KBS is not going to be happy about this.

Thanks for the c-subs, cococrust~ TSKS is really fast!!

[Guest mapikan]

The first episode begins with Kim Shin (PYH). He enters in a broadcast studio (HBS, in reference to KBS of course) with a modern crossbow and compels an anchor to read a letter. After few minutes he's finally arrested and interrogated by an officer.

Back to few days ago (weeks?). Kyeong-ah (PSY) wake up Kim Shin in an cybercafe and after that they go to see Kim Shin's older brother in his food factory. KS jokes with his brother and KA watch them happily. In the same time the same anchor than before (I think it's him) make a coverage about this factory. The coverage will turn out really really bad (I don't know really why). But just before it was airing we see KS & KA in the bed together (nothing much exiting... ). KS wants a "second round" but KA puts her clothes back on, so KS decides to watch TV instead and they watch the bad news in TV. We catch sight of Do Woo (KKW) in his dashing office. He "plays piano" on this desk while listening classical music...

At the empty food factory KS and his brother talk about the current situation, but his brother is obsessed by the negative comments of several netizens (In fact, it was "false netizen", just some people ordered to do that, surely by DW). In the same time KS's sister in law deals with strange guys in her house (for money).

KS is totally bamboozled by this situation and try to forget everything by dancing around of some girls. KA watch him but she even don't try to stop him.

The sister in law try to reach KS's phone but he don't hear the ringing.

The scene go back to KS's arrest. In the night he sing some lullabies. Some others prisoners are annoyed by that and they finally hit him. In the same time we see a flashback with KS's brother who commit suicide on the road by throwing himself below a truck)

In the next scene (I don't know if it's forward or afterward the previous scene, it's really confusing), DW and Director Oh have a meeting and Director Oh looks very frightened by DW speech. Director pays visit to DW's family, his father and his little sister Eun Soo. ES hears secretly the conversation between Director Oh and DW's father (he looks very sick by the way), she even write down the most interesting parts. (It seems she do that often because we can see her running to the attic of the house.)

Next (I don't know if there are another "time travel") we have KS who will know his judgement but we have another "flashback" with KS/KA/and the sister in law in front of the grave of KS's older brother and the strange guys come again.

KS brings KA to a fancy restaurant because he looks annoyed by the family's money problem. They talk outside, KA tries to have a serious discussion but it's turn out in a argument because KS don't look concerned at all.

Finally, KS borrows some money from a pawnbroker and give it to the strange guys and go back to the "present", KS enters in the prison. It's look like an old prisoner with glasses is the boss because he orders something related about KS to an another prisoner.

I'm sorry if it's confusing, I'm confused myself too .

You did a great job of explaining the first episode. Gives a great foundation of this new series.

I found it hard to follow and confusing but the acting seemed to be so well done, that it kept me trying to figure out the details I didnt' understand through the dialogue. Look forward to subs to explain what exactly was written on the internet that would make the business collapse, and what type of business they had.

Hopefully it won't be all sadness because today's epside sure was!
