2handsintertwined Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 @rubie Thanks for the Mr. Sunshine post. And I'm happy people liked the drama. I'm happy it's on the list!!! And I love the art drawing you posted too. to Everyone: So I was just thinking and I really liked how Eugene stayed at the Glory Hotel. I thought he liked Hi Na(Am I saying her name right?) Did anyone else think he liked her? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubie Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 @2handsintertwined I believe Eugene was grateful and satisfied staying at Glory Hotel (despite his room being constantly searched by various people).. it's just a place for him to eat, sleep and rest when he's not working. At the time, it's the only place that was available for the foreigners to stay. Eugene was also being courteous to HiNa but the hotel owner certainly had her eyes on him, at first. EC wasn't interested in anyone (before he started to like AeShin), he's was focusing on doing his job.. he wasn't comfortable to be back in Joseon. Found this shared on twitter. Have not watch this particular drama but it's also on tvN and they perfectly parodied the Eugene-AeShin hand scene. I remember people making fun of this scene when the first MR.SUNSHINE poster was released and now it became their popular trademark pose.

rubie Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Source: Toby Forshaw @KaiserKnightMax Started watching Kim Eun-sook's and Lee Eung-bok's series 'Mr. Sunshine' (2018) on Netflix. It's a compelling, and at times baroque, romantic historical drama about Korea at the turn of the 20th century. Kim Tae-ri and Lee Byung-hun are excellent.

rubie Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 What could have been.. if they had survived.. the sad ending.. Source: Yoo Yeon Seok US MR.SUNSHINE: The 40-year challenge January 31, 2019 Netflix Users in Korea Surpass 1 Million By Lee Ki-moon The Chosun Ilbo U.S. video-streaming provider Netflix has attracted more than a million users in Korea on their Android mobile devices alone, just three years after entering the market here. The number of Netflix users has increased by 200,000 to 300,000 every three month, and industry watchers forecast the company to become the No. 1 video-streaming provider in Korea soon. According market researcher Wiseapp on Wednesday, 1.27 million people used the Netflix app on their Android phones last month, a 3.7-fold increase from January 2018. If people who access Netflix on their PCs or iPhones are counted, the number is probably much higher. Netflix offers movies, series and other shows on demand. Up to four people can access a single account, and it has around 900,000 Korean accounts, translating into W11.7 billion in monthly fees (US$1=W1,118). Worldwide it has 139 million subscribers in 190 countries. Netflix has invested W150 billion to produce Korean content so far. That includes period zombie series "Kingdom," which alone cost W1.5 billion to W2 billion per episode, more than four times the average budget of Korean soaps. It was released globally last Friday. It also spent W50 billion on the 2017 film "Okja" by director Bong Joon-ho and W30 billion for the hit TV drama "Mr. Sunshine" last year. This year it will launch two drama series and one entertainment program here. Netflix already has a firm grip on the streaming markets in the U.S. and Europe. Netflix's strategy is to invest half of its earnings in content and technology. Last year it spent US$8 billion to produce original content and acquire rights to other materials. It claims to offer unlimited access to more than 10,000 movies and drama series for just around W10,000 a month, though in fact a great deal of content is restricted by region. It also faces criticism for not paying Korean telecom providers despite using massive amounts of data through its high-capacity streaming service. Naver and Kakao pay Korean telecoms tens of billions a year in usage fees. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on Eugene and Glory Hotel! So they searched Eugene's hotel. I was so scared! I thought they were going to find all his secrets! You're right. It was just a place for him to eat and sleep, right?! So you think HiNa had her eyes on him. I understand. I thought Eugene felt something for her. I was wrong! So Eugene was only interested in AeShin. You're right. Eugene was focusing on his job! The scene you put up. The scene of Eugene and Aesin with the hand! That part was amazing! I think that part was the promotion photo for Mr. Sunshine. Right? But you're right. It was used for the first poster. Thank you for posting.

mistymorning Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 There was a filming session of commentary for Mr. Sunshine Blu-ray last weekend. Director KEB, writer KES, and all the main casts( LBH, KTR, KMJ, YYS, and BYH ) were there. BH uploaded the photo to his instagram. This will be included in Mr. Sunshine Blu-ray, and now we just need to wait. (I can't wait to watch what they are talking about here! ) Just FYI, snacks and gifts were fan support (from http://cafe.daum.net/MrSunshineBD and Mr Sunshine dc gallery), prepared by Blu-ray support team. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubie Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 So happy seeing the cast gathered together.. but so sad because there'll be no more Mr.Sunshine event except for the concert. Such bittersweet memories indeed.. Anyway.. The Sunshine Studio was featured in the morning news segment.
