[Drama 2014] Secret Love Affair 밀회

[seungshin]

Hello friends:
I've just finished reading the SLA Script in its entirety.  I only wish you could all read Korean and be able to experience it first hand.  Translation is just not the same as you all know and I am not sure if I could do it justice.  
While the speaking parts are pretty much the same as what you saw on air (I would say 95% or more), there is quite a bit of "unspoken" text in the Script where the actors are supposed to convey writers/directors meaning by their facial and body expressions.  
The Script comes right out and says what actors' are supposed be thinking in their heads.  For example when SJ was getting his suits fitted by that English guy right, at the end Madame Han is supposed to look at SJ and think to herself "you are in love with OHW".  Well, when I saw that scene I did not think that was what she was thinking at all. Her facial expression did not convey that to me as I recall.
So many parts like that are in the Script and once you see them, it will go a long way to answer many questions that have been discussed at lengths on this forum.  I have no doubt.
The scene in the Pottery Studio is another example. I have to watch the scene again because the Script was so rich I thought the final product did not contain all the scenes that were in the Script. There was so much in the Script about that scene.
I just want you all to have access to all that "extra" information.  That means there is so much to be done to translate and I still haven't figured out how to do it as efficiently and quickly as possible.  
It is past midnight here and it's past my bed time.  It's a holiday long weekend here coming up so I am hoping I can get some important scenes up for you then.
Good night all.

i am sorry you have to read the scenes and the ending so differently and be so upset and frustrated about it.

ktomato said: May I seek the insightful and learned views here please of this option of an ending to SLA please - HW doesn't give herself up to the police and go to jail. Instead she quits her job at the academy, return all the assets that she felt she didn't deserve, move out of her home and into a new smallish but comfy apartment, disassociate herself from all the SeoHan pp, lifestyle and everything, get a respectable new job, make a decent honest living and start afresh. Will u guys allow this kind of ending or do u think she needs to go to jail for cleansing? Based on the majority view here I think SJ can settle with that. He never insisted that HW ought to pay for her crimes. He just wanted her to eject herself from her corrupt world that's all. What do u think?

turtle1 said: ktomato said: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @turtle1 someone mentioned that his seemingly unserious attitude in jail is to lighten the mood for HW to not make her feel any worse and depressed. I think it is believable that SJ actually thought that even tho its quite a silly thought. Someone else highlighted that SJ's overly protective nature over his Goddess disappeared at the jail shown by his lack of concern at the fact that HW was physically abused by unnies in jail. He's experienced jail (much milder version since it was like the 'out patient' type for overnight lock ups only) very briefly and even then he was traumatized. How can he react so nonchalantly over HW's situation. Ok this part gets to me. I don't get the change in attitude too. Perhaps they should've portrayed it as some hidden emotion and have him breakdown and cry after the visit or go home and snip away his food ahjumma's hair to express his hidden pain. Hahaha. That would've assuaged my pain at his indifference! But I disagree with u that he's given up on being with HW. His VoiceOver about touching her everyday. Whether it was his inner thought or a letter to HW (which is it anyway btw?) we know he loves her dearly and thinks of her everyday. He said he'll be back and YAI said that its a happy ending because he said he'll be back. So he'll be back.

Would any kind soul point me to the café daum site where we can request for the Director's cut dvd? I know someone posted it many pages before, but since it had been a hectic week for me (I know I know, I cheated and came to this thread many times) but I just couldn't find time to register at the café and etc as it looked a bit daunting. But since the weekend is coming I will be able to do that now. Appreciate.

turtle1 said: slalove said: omo. the pressure! if I were ktomato, I would have turned into juice just from this!! hehe I can't help it if what I see are two people who are now in sync and perfectly comfortable with each other and speaks honestly with no more guesswork anymore. she tells him you can leave me. he tells her where would he go when his home is here. he tells here what a waste it would be if they never gave it a proper go. she ponders and without aplomb agrees. their interaction is very natural, there is perfect understanding now between them. she doesn't doubt him when he says he wants them to try to be together. she doesn't try to convince him otherwise either. at the time of the mahjong tiles so much of her was still a mystery to him in a way. her life what she does why she allows herself to be mistreated as such. he could not have believed that she was as flippant as she was when she joked about her injury. well I don't know if this has helped. I wouldn't try to convince anybody to change their opinions if something. all I do is share what I myself see and feel coz I am that compelled with this drama.

In Episode 3, the Script says this:

-선재가 욕실에서 나온다. 벗은 웃통.  한손으로 수건으로 머리 닦으며.

(SJ comes out of the washroom, with top off (topless), with one hand drying his hair with a towel)
This is right before he talks to his mother on the phone and she gets killed.
No one will ever know why YAI/SJ did not appear the way the Script called for.....
