Guuys I want in the line group too! Can some kind soul add me please? Id: jehfm

I think Taek can enter Seoul National University if he wants to, based on how he is, he easily learns a lot in a short span of time, a real genius! so DS do your best! or study with Taek and be a Campus Couple! My heart can't take all the excitement and anticipation for the next 4 episodes! a first for me in all my years of K-drama addiction;)

team TaeK all the way!

 

Thank you chingus for such a happy thread!

@niniiinggg ikr, this drama has everything I WANT TO FEEL THAT I WON'T EVER GET IN REAL LIFE. This drama brought me to Bogum and now I'm stanning an actor, thats something new for me, because I mostly dont give a richard simmons about actors or anything that relate with boy groups. And I also changed my perspective toward Hyeri. She was just a rude girl in my eyes, but now I think I really want to have such friend like her. Everything about this drama is beautiful. Friendship, family, the triangle love, even the egg seller is beautiful too lol

General Symbolism

SOURCE

Many of the attributes of the koi symbolize several lessons and even trials individuals often encounter in life. The koi fish has a powerful and energetic life force, demonstrated by its ability to swim against currents and even travel upstream. Some of the characteristics associated with the koi include:

• Good fortune
• Success
• Prosperity
• Longevity
• Courage
• Ambition
• Perseverance

Yin Yang and the Koi Symbol

In feng shui, the koi is tied to the yin yang symbol. In fact, the black and white tear drops of the yin yang symbol are said to be representations of two koi, one male and one female. The eye of each teardrop is symbolic of the constant watchful eye of the koi. This pairing of fish is often seen outside the context of the yin yang symbol as well. For example, a pair of koi is often used as a good luck symbol for a happy marriage.

Harmony and Happiness

The koi is synonymous with harmony and happiness. The two yin and yang koi complete each other and create a perfect balance of the negative and positive energies of chi energy, which is the life-force of all things on earth.

We might be genius profilers only for Choi Taek's charcter  lol. Libra ,Yin and Yang , Baduk Philosophy,  Fish and  Water Symbolism,  given his layers in 16 episodes all of this is accurate I think ^^

I just can't understand why subs for Reply episodes take so much time T_T When I watch other dramas the subbed eps come out on the same day of the eps release (Pinoccio , Doctor stranger , school 2015 ,the Heirs...even reply 1994) ...we have to wait for 2 additional days IN Reply 88 case T_T 

[shyyraa]

@hafunohane hahaha. that is a really tough decision to make because he looks good in all those hairstyles. Is there an option for all of the above? I mean he could rotate a different hairstyle for each month. Why not? Bahahaha XD

[st4rdust]

Isnt it because each episode is around 90 mins length... other dramas are like 60 mins? 

Furthermore, it might be to ensure the quality XD. I'll just download and fast forward before i get the subs... 2 more days to go...

Sleeping now... good night, chingus

LOL I CAN SEE NOTHING BUT HAPPY MARRIAGE!

Anyway about the blur photo, it's too blur so my take is JH: 49.5%, TK: 49.5%, the remaining 1% is for someone else haha

 

It could be JH because although his jacket is on the bench, his sweater is black (green arrow) but he might take out his sweater before carrying DS. But I can't see his shoes so I'm not sure.

 

Or it could be TK as he was wearing white shoes, so that feet part in the blur photo seems white/disconnected because the shoes are white. Yet, the lower part of the shoes is black and I'm not sure if it's because of lighting or something else. But the lower part of TK's shoes is obviously white. The guy in that blur photo wears a black thing which looks like TK's hoodie but the hair looks too distorted though. That head reminds me of JH's hair.

 

So, in the pic below:

Green arrow (sorry I'm color theory biased haha) : Similarity to TK

Blue arrow: similarity to JH

Red arrow: Parts which are different from each other

 

but, this brings me to another point. Based on what he was wearing during the conversation with JH, when walking back and when lying down, I think there are a few possibilities:

- JH might see DS falling down and rushed to carry her. TK might see JH carrying DS and he walked back sadly and DS saw him (but her red coat is not seen so may be between this scene at night and the soccer match, there's a hidden gap)

- Or Assuming DS looked at TK walking back after the soccer match, and the lying scene is after that. Then, TK might carry DS but he changes his shirt to grey before lying down. I think his hoodie is still on when he's lying though.

- Or the scenes are actually not connected. So TK might walk back from a baduk match wearing the same hoodie. DS is still wearing that pink coat/hoodie and the lying scene might be after this.

- Or nothing is continuous LOL =))

 

But anyway, I think the scenes will be shown in ep 17 so sooner or later we can see the HD version of it hahaha

@Phuong Tam Nguyen hmmm... But the color of the inner(of tk lying down?) shirt looks grey to me compared to the white one.

Yeah that's why I put a red arrow there, because of the color difference. So I doubt if the scenes are actually continuous  or if sth happens in between ^^
