Sunwoo says it was only him... Jang Il hears him but changes his mind about going in....Sunwoo dad gets on his knees to plead 4 his son and .Sunwoo is annoyed.

Jang Il asks him why he did not mention his name and if he wants to play the hero...and they argue....they bond after that and Sunwoo teaches how to fight better..

Jiwoon father is being abused by the president... she finds his car and smashes the glass to find Sunwoo hiding in it... the guys following him ask her and she gives them the wrong direction..Sunwoo takes the rock finishes the glass and thanks her.. later he thinks with himself that she is a strange girl and wonders about her ......in the school the boys are talking about the new pretty girl transfer student....Jang Il shares his umbrella with Sumi ......he watches her paint. and she gives him a portrait she did 4 him...he comes back and offers to take her out .

the boys meet the shaman ... Sunwoo seems 2 know him...Jang Il asks who is he... Sw tells him he is the father of student he used 2 know...doctor tells Sunwoo dad that his case is hopeless... Jang Il finds out Sumi is the shamans daughter and crumples her present.. Sumi waits for him by the sea but does not show up

Sunwoo sees Sumi walking by and greets her...tells her she turned out very pretty...that he saw her dad yesterday...she says there is no need to recognize him cause she herself pretends not 2 know him outside... he tells her not to act like this... she sees Jang Il who ignores her and walks away... she asks if they r good friends.. he says yes...does he know that my dad is a shaman... he says so what... she tells him to go

Sunwoo and his dad are taking a walk.. they talk about his upcoming birthday .. he tells Sunwoo he must go somewhere then at 6 to meet someone important...Sunwoo asks who it is....dad says someone who will take care of u in th future.... he wanted to wait till he turns 20 to tell him but now he has no time.........he tells him about his health...Sunwoo does not want to believe...dad tells him he must go at that date...Sunwoo says he is not going

dad meets the president .. he knew him before... the dad tells him he split up with his wife... they talk about the past... how the dad found the president son... seems the president has abandoned his pregnant fiancée causing her grief and death....there is some talk about prison that I did not get....the dad tells him he has not much time and that he has to take the child....the president orders him to beg for money....the dad refuses and says it is for the best he would rather see the child in an orphanage than see him raised by such a cruel man ...president threatens to find the child.....they fight and the president strangles the dad...later discovers that Jang Il dad has seen him

Sunwoo on his birthday is heading to the appointed place .....Jang Il follows him....Sunwoo hit something... his dad hanging from a tree.

//////////////////////////////

so basically ep 1 indicates that Sunwoo is the son of the murderer... but in the intro.... Jang Il tells the president ( it would have been nice if Sunwoo was your son)

lee hyun woo was praised for his intense acting yesterday specially in the grieving scenes... they say he looks more mature than before ..but I think the problem is that he is too young to hold ppl attention.. the supposedly tough character needed an older guy .still I am sure rating will not change adults or no adults.. cause it is a psychological drama meaning it is not main stream and in the wrong timeslot...

It's sad that this series is up against 2 other great shows on wed-thur .. I hope more people can tune in to watch . Even the kids story is amazing . Hopefully I can see more on them at least for 2 more episodes :) before the adult cast comes in

Wow! I just finished the 1st episode and it's really good ! I'm loving this young cast and especially Lee Hyun Woo! So adorable and so heartbreaking ! :( 

It's a pity we have that fierce competition for ratings in this time slot with all 3 dramas beginning at the same time and the 2 others being as good as well! But I hope the cast cheer up because this drama is really good !! :) 

I was really happy Sun Woo's dad told him about having cancer and everything that was on his mind. Telling him he would like to leave him to someone who could take care of him etc. I really HATE it parents or anyone does something in someone's else "benefit" but end up scarring that person even more.. 

I'm really conflicted about Jang Il ! Loving that he doesn't despise his father and still love and care for him. Not being a brat cursing his father. But his attitude is still.. 

So sad for him. I can see he is living in difficulty trying to do what is right and doing what he wants.. Trying to be a good friend to Sun Woo and still leaving him alone in the mess :( I hope he won't hurt Sun Woo too much because that would mean hurt himself too! 

And poor Soo Mi. I can see how she will grow over ambitious and everything. Maybe if her dad treated her more gently she wouldn't be so defensive about her father.. When she asked SW if JI knew her dad was a shaman, I felt sad feeling how ashamed and angry she was at her father.. 

Anyway, I can't wait to see what happens next! Off to watch ep 2 ! :)

I made a program in Java which allows me to copy the DramaFever subtitles to a text file, then I run it through the program, and it puts it in srt format. The only problem is that the program does not provide proper "end times". Meaning that a line of dialogue stays on screen until the next line of dialogue. So if there is a long interval where there is no spoken word, the last line spoken stays on screen.

I'm still trying to see if there are any subs that match the DramaFever ones to gets the proper end times, but I haven't been able to.

Happy that Dramafever and Darksmurf is subbing this drama. Even if they are competition with the other drama , at least I can still watch it in eng sub. I'm so missing some melodrama and this is a good treat for me.

Lee Hyun Woo did a great job but I read some article that he is the next yeo jin gu. They are both in different league because of the age. However I liked them both. Hope Lee HyunWoo will be more recognized after this show.

Thanks for the subs and recaps! Really appreciate it.

I watch this show concurrently with Rooftop Prince [super hilarious that one. Good shot for laughter]. But I think this show is underrating. It deserves more. I watched the 2 eps, gotta say the child actors are great. UTW and LJH's first 2 minutes are emotional.I guess I'm in need of some real-earthling story. This one looks promising. So can I say, " screw you rating, this one is awesome!" ? Hee.. Hope to see more of Equator people making noise in here..

I've just watched episode 1 and 2... and I find the storyline quite interesting. The characters are pretty well drawn out so far as well. Why is the rating so low - haha? I guess everyone else in Korea is watching Rooftop Prince or King 2Hearts.

Can anyone tell me who is the boy going to stab on with the long knife?  not understand this part!!!

the gangsters ask him to harm his friend dad's or they will hurt his friend... they dont want to do it themselves cause their faces are known

u know when I first heard that the teen will have 4 episodes I was nettled it is funny that now when I knew they will have only 3 ( not totally sure but everyone is saying adults will appear in ep 4) now I am not liking it... I want more of the teen they have really set a nice mood ( some teen romance would have been nice as well) and I want the story to take its natural course without last minute changes I hope I am wrong and they are not changing the plot it is really cool so far dont want them to ruin it

hello everyone sweatingbullets.gif can I join in the discussion? 

I think the gangsters are just using Sun Woo to finish their job, i.e to kill/beat/hurt a certain someone, but I don't think that person is related to any of the characters. The man just said he will harm Jang Il if Sun Woo fails to carry out the mission. I'm touched by his kindness and how sincere he is in the friendship. He takes care of his friend very well! 

But soon, that one friend will betray him..and probably because Jang Il gets to know that the culprit is his own father..

I'm reluctant to let go of the teenage counterpart because they're so good..Hyun Woo improves tremendously in his acting! I find myself crushing for him at times when he looks so cool. hehe wub.gif Siwan might be a newbie, but he's improving I think and I'm sure this drama gives him a new experience and expose him to a wider range of acting. I'm in love/hate relationship with Jang Il's character because he can be both a darling and a jerk, depending with whom he's being with.

Here, have some smiles from our Sun Woo! His birthday was on 23rd March happy.gif

they're large so putting them in spoiler..
