Popular Post jaemin kimpark Posted May 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2019 I try to compare the proposal scene in wwwsk n HPL, so I decided to rewatch proposal scene in wwwsk.. in wwwsk it feels only PMY is trying to build her own emotions, but PSJ is just flat with dialogue without showing a touched expression or anything, just delivered dialog. even though they kissed after that, but that's all. and in HPL, as we all see, how KJW says every sentence with sincere emotions, and KJW's eyes say everything that he really loves PMY and wants to marry her. so in HPL, just by looking at each other PMY can see KJW's sincerity. and PMY's voice when answering KJW's said everything. even though it ends with a hug, but we can feel their sincerity and love, the way KJW embraces PMY ... it's love 18 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aziraphale Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Liked 16 more than 15. Mostly for the fact that Ryan finally went back to New York and made a spectacular comeback. I'm so relieved, because he has a thriving career waiting for him in New York, and he just needed to be there again. I liked that Deok-mi helped him make that decision, showing her confidence in him as an artist. I like that in this case, she put Ryan's interests as priority, and even told him straight that she worried he wasn't going back because of her. The honesty between them is lovely to see. The ending kiss at the alley was sweet and I like the reversal. Their foreplay at the start was adorable, and I like how they talk about art when they are together. I thought the proposal was a bit rushed, but liked that there was no big wedding immediately after, and that they didn't rush into kids. Cuz, y'know, Ryan Gold needs to wow the world again, and he did. Kim Jae-wook was visibly exhausted throughout episode 16. I feel for him. Overall, an enjoyable show with lots of great kissing and chemistry, and wonderful acting from the leads. So happy that Kim Jae-wook's first leading role turned out reasonably well, and he gained new fans in the process. Thanks everyone for all the chats, photos, BTS videos and stuff! 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PARALLELS AND THE DETAILS ARE EVERYTHING! I went and made a big list of every single parallel/detail in the last episode, as a way of saying goodbye to the drama. That's how I fangirl. 1. "His/Her's beauty is out of the world, so it is hard to capture it." - DM for Si An vs RG for DM. 2. Eom fangirling over Si An when she hated her daughter for it. Crazy development! 3. The way DM's contribution is acknowledged by RG in the morning - stark contrast to how Eom/the guest dismissed her work during the first ep! 4. Taking photo of Si An with his nearest and dearest, vs. taking photo of Si An from a distance using telescopic lens! 5. Fangirling over videos of Si An in the cafe to fangirling over actual Si An right in front of them! 6. DM's mom waited all night at the playground to meet RG's mom and they are finally having a conversation in the temple. 7. "I think she's asking about your birthday" DM said about their mothers vs that for marital compatibility that DM's mom pestered her for and she told RG! 8. DM's dad started his hobby of collecting stones after he lost his son. RG's mom stopped painting after she lost her son. 9. DM asked him to read up on his Korean when he didn't get her sarcasm(that yeah, as if he'd refrain from drinking) when she sarcastically said "of course you do". He teased her by saying that when she said she looked good in yellow! 10. The bridal style picking up and putting to bed, was in contrast to how she brought him home when he had drunk a lot in the first staff dinner. 11. Ryan not shaking hands with anyone, but readily doing so with DI(he got over his trauma of cold hands). 12. DM's promotion got replaced by RG coming from USA and now she's getting a chance to work in USA. 13. RG being horrified by her terrible taste(when she tried to get LS painting from him in the China auction) vs. him completely trusting her taste right now and coming out of retirement. 14. Eom making RG director to RG making Eom director. It's hilarious. 15. DM sneaking as SJ's husband to see her during childbirth vs the lesbian couple RG imagined them to be + cross dressed RG playing Latte. 16. THE KISS THE WALL KISS. DM was glowing. I love this so much. I can't breathe. That parallel with 'do you want me', and then that kiss. Dead, deceased and buried. 2 hours ago, Ramenqueen19 said: Love this list!! Adding one more 17. RG and DM playfully smearing chalk pain on each other face when younger w. Playing with flour when making food 18. DM saying RG face is her canvas to paint w. Her applying lipstick by kissing him! 19. HJ told her mom she has no other wish if she died now, the exact line DM said after meeting SA in person I like this list as well. So well thought of. If I may add, the part where DM was trying to learn more about Ryan as an artist by researching on the art scene from where he came from parallels the time where Ryan signed up on the fan cafe to learn more about DM as a fan/SNG. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeunXK Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Spoiler ep 4 vs ep 16 https://www.soompi.com/article/1327563wpp/7-k-drama-male-leads-who-know-how-to-say-theyre-sorry 7 K-Drama Male Leads Who Know How To Say They’re Sorry FEATURES May 30, 2019 by Azra_A When you’ve been watching K-dramas for a while, there are certain characteristics you come to expect from your male lead. Obviously, he has to be hot; that’s the law. It’s also pretty likely he will be rich. If he’s not rich, he’s probably talented at something — we’re talking genius level talent here. And if he’s hot, rich and/or talented, he’s almost certainly going to be full of himself! In a world full of smarmy, charming flower boys who get away with murder, sometimes we just long for a man who can own his wrongdoings and humbly apologize for them. Y’know, an actual adult who can learn from his mistakes and sincerely change his ways. These unicorns do exist in Dramaland! You just have to know where to look for them. Here’s our pick of the ones who make us swoon when they say that magic word: “sorry.” Warning: spoilers ahead! 1. Ryan Gold – “Her Private Life” Oh, Lion. Not only do you have great taste in suits and practically perfect cheekbones, but you are also the epitome of #boyfriendgoals. We can understand why Ryan (Kim Jae Wook) got upset when Duk Mi (Park Min Young) poked around his apartment uninvited. She didn’t mean any harm, but she unwittingly got close to the core of his deepest issues, which would freak anybody out. Spoiler But after Ryan blows up, it takes about three seconds for him to realize he was wrong. He knows immediately that he was taking it out on Duk Mi when she didn’t deserve it. Some male leads might mumble an apology when they’re both back at the office, but not Ryan. He starts running like a crazy person and doesn’t stop until he finds Duk Mi and makes it right. The (almost) kiss that follows is the icing on the cake. nuestsaron 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion00 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I’m waiting to watch ep 16 tonight and I want to cry because my favourite k-drama is come to the end. KJW is right, he said your heart will flutter when the reporter ask him about this drama during one of the press conference and he also said ‘we fall in love’ (I know he is referring to RG-DK) but I can’t help it when he said it. How true what he said! Our heart flutter and they in love until the end of the drama! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post haelan Posted May 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2019 Oh you guys...I’m going to miss all of you so much ! I’ve participated in a few forums before but this one is truly special and close to my heart. It felt like one big family that I got to share my love for HPL with. I anxiously waited for subs for the finale today and forced myself to do things to keep myself distracted while waiting and it was all worth it. I never thought I would get post drama withdrawal this bad! I started crying within 15 mins of the episode, especially during the exhibition, where they were paralleling scenes from the earlier episodes. This is one of my favorite things about HPL. I don’t have much to say, as everyone here already shares my sentiments. PD-nim is super sneaky He left us to our own wild imaginations to continue their bed scene in the end. Which is the safer choice because I know some of us in here have much more to offer than what PD-nim could have HAHA! I also really liked the fact that DM got her job opportunity in NYC through her effort alone, and not because of Ryan. Their little scene where even he was surprised was perfect for me because it shows just how much of an equal they are to each other. Not once did we ever see or feel a power imbalance in their relationship, and they are both respectful of their capabilities as professionals so that they can shine on their own individually, but are a sparkling night sky when together. Ryan may have been her boss, but he treated all the coworkers all the same unless a situation called for him having to act as the higher up that he was. I was so happy to see that HPL was cleanly concluded and came full circle, albeit a few loose ends (such as CSA knowing SNG's identity -- but a gentle reminder that CSA has his entire life to figure it out seeing she is his sister-in-law after all). As much as I would have loved to see an even longer time gap that would have given room for a few little LaBits here and there, I loved that they ended HPL with what was basically fan service from KJW and PMY. The best part of it is the fact that it still makes sense in the story and their characters. DM's life had become filled with love and her lifetime bias had changed to Ryan. I know a few were upset that her fansite persona was put in the back burner after their confession, but was that not the point of DM's story? As much as I would have loved to see her in action one last time (she did buy concert tickets after all!), just like Seon Joo had explained in an earlier episode that once she started dating her husband, her bias became him. DM's already a more than successful fangirl. Maybe when I rewatch the drama and take a deeper analysis on it, I can point out parts from the dialogues that basically supported what Seon Joo said and how it applies to DM's fangirl persona, her personal life, and the gradual switch in her priorities. As for the childhood connection, I didn't mind it being added on there, but I won't argue that it felt rushed and tacked on. However, as another member had mentioned earlier, I choose to view their childhood connection more as a story for the mothers involved than it was for DM and Ryan. Needless to say, I thought it was very interesting how the mothers were used in this drama. They were all strong and beautiful but flawed women that did what they could do best for their family in their time. It almost felt like subtle shade at the patriarchal society in Korea, not that I'm complaining hmm. I noticed that a lot of (western) international fans had lots of questions about why wasn't this or that done. Apart from the technical viewpoint such as the fact that the production team probably didn't have the time or capacity to spell that situation out for the viewers, I feel like I might be missing context as a non-Korean. I mean, this was Korea in the 1990s after all. There must be some things/actions that could be more understood if you were Korean living in that time period. Notice that the most important aspect of their connection was that it didn't change anything in the dynamics of their relationship. If this were an alternate universe drama, DM and Ryan would have used that as a justification for why they must/probably love each other. Here, it was merely a sprinkle on top. In the end of Ep.15 when they were saying "I missed you DM/YJ", to me that was more of them revisiting their friendship/companionship as children. They were kids back then, how were they supposed to know that they love each other? Also, not once did their childhood selves mention anything about loving or marrying each other in the future. The childhood connection only strengthens how deep their connection is as individuals, not lovers. I loved loved loved the proposal scene. When I was watching this, I had to audibly gasp and hit my pillow because I really wasn't expecting it. But as soon as I saw Ryan's hands leave his left pocket, I knew it was happening. They weren't married by the end of the episode, so the proposal was basically a declaration of wholesome love, and for the lack of better term, cuffing themselves to one another. I mean, the two of them and everyone else in the HPL-verse knew that they would eventually end up getting married but I love how Ryan made it clear. And his flowery speech, OOF. That hit me right in the heart because I actually started tearing up??? Like WOAH! I wasn't expecting this proposal and even more so was never expecting that I would tear up. So very big kudos to KJW and PMY and their skills (those eyes man!!!) with this emotionally charged scene, because I could feel how palpable and sincere their love for each other was through a mere screen. Am I the only one confused about EG and HJ's relationship ? I was so shocked to see viewer comments that they ended up getting together because when I was watching, I literally thought it was just them having ended up becoming friends/siblings seeing how similar HJ actually is to DM. Regardless, I'm not complaining. Speaking of EG, I was pleasantly surprised to see his role not being wasted as just a second lead. He actually had a purpose being the family's glue and I'm so happy about that. And my favorite scenes that leave my heart bursting with happiness: (Credit) They're so smiley and happy!!! Their genuine happiness is clearly palpable through our screens and I gotta give it to KJW and PMY because I have no idea how they do that but it looks SO REAL. Maybe it's also the fact that as HPL viewers, our eyes are trained to spot reel vs real (ad-libs). Time for me to go back into my cave and cleanse my delulu musings... @jeonghyang ARGH you've made me even more sad! Seeing all those tagged names...our one, big family Thank you so much for tagging me! And it also allows me to watch your wonderful gifs on repeat hehe (since TVN is being stingy on uploading this clip in both Naver and YT excuseeeeee meeeee) 22 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenching Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Done watching the finale.... HPL isn't a perfect drama, there are many cliche and weird moments (Well, as most dramas had) BUT all the casts ESPECIALLY the leads delivered extremely well. The proposal scene showed the level of depth the leads got into the characters. KJW/RG was obviously super nervous like any real life BF with proposal in mind and PMY/SDM was literally speechless overwhelmed by emotions exactly the GF being proposed would be. It was portrayed realistically without much cheesy fanfares drum rolls or fireworks like the usual romcom. Their level of trust, comfort and chemistry were phenomenal, the best I saw so far in K drama land.The sexy scenes were incredible realistic and they portrayed it in such ways that I am convinced they enjoyed it very much just like a real life couple would be.... KJW and PMY didn't need to striped down to showed sexiness. They are the epitome of SEXY. I would love to see them working together again in the future but maybe not romcom. They made each other shine brighter.... I would say the finale episode touched me the most. Love all the meaningful conversations between Mommies. No nonsensical empty talks between the love birds. The conversation showed what Ryan said before that they were well educated adults, adults who knows how to do the trade talks and at the same time weaved the love convos seamlessly. Adults who know and understand the needs and feeling of their SO without being spells out loudly by the SO. It's shows what is love all about, to accept the strengths and the weaknesses of someone you love. The last fan service scene was beautifully done despite the obvious exhausted conditions of our love birds. I read in IG that PMY hadn't sleep for 4 days, I am sure KJW also the same and the rest of the crews.That's explain KJW's half conscious state and PMY's panda eyes. I hope now they can sleep for 24 hours straight to charges back.... Lastly, see you again guys in another thread..... Thank you very much for all of the lovely recappers that had sacrificed their time for our pleasure here.... You are the best!!! 9 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
