DM:  Why did you join the fan page? 

RG:   I just wanted to get to know you better. 

DM:  What did you find out? What did you dig up? 

RG:

 

 

 I bet KJW is ad-libbing here.

One of the inspiring features which make we (viewers) not stop watching HPL is the positive energy, pure outlooks for both leads.

Spoiler

 Deokmi and Ryan Gold support and understand each other.I can feel their sincerity.Such endearing scenes

DC

I really love that despite hot makeout sessions, this drama doesnt rely heavily on kissing scenes, and give us mature relationships instead. How our couple Bond with each other emotionally, how they care about each other so much. In the beginning, I've mentioned about how I want DM to protect Ryan. I'm so happy it becomes true at the moment.. The way she knows something's wrong just looking at his eyes.. Gosh, it's true love.. And the way he's hugging her tightly afterwards and just crying his eyes out.. it's like he's that little boy again. Now he's not alone anymore.. DM is with him now. In PMY's previous drama, it relies heavily on kissing scenes and how her character was faded into background in second half of the drama, i'm really happy it's not the case in HPL. DM is a strong female lead with slighly quirky double life, and i'm so happy with the leads are begin dating, her character wasnt faded into background, but also taking lead in protecting the male lead. The writer gave us not only kissing scenes, but also gave us glimpse of mature relationships, how to deal with inner demons, how to Embrace other's weirdness. not to mention every skinship and gesture feels so intimate. Even the main leads' back and forth banter is just too real, and brings a smile to my face!!

Ahhhh it's here!! But I'm travelling for work and can't watch it until later tonight  I'll read through everyone's comments on my lunch break instead 

[RobinM 11,511]

It’s going to be hard going back to regular old Korean drama rom com kisses, skin ship and flirty ness after this though. This is about as far as a prime time drama can go right now for showing adult type romance. Sigh.

[tensaitekikuroneko 1,752]

Watching the subs...

Now this might be completely wrong, and I'm just throwing a dart in the dark but -

I have a small hunch that Si An knows Curator Noona is Si Na Gil Nim.

Hear me out for a second:

1. Run in at the lift.

2. The autograph event.

3. The relationship - he knows SNG won't take paparazzi photos like she posted of RG & DM.

4. DM's expressions when she saw him: he already knew she's his fan, as he told Ryan before the epic first make out session™.

5. Let's just say DM has been very forward with her smiles, eyes and grinning at him whenever he's around - if RG could notice, Si An might too.

6. Si An's first fan...I'm sure he has been a little curious about her ever since...and would have been alert to any info.

7. Ryan's behavior in the lift multiple times, to check for moles and not looking at SNG's uploaded photos

8. He will see there's no Si Na Gil or Sindy to take his photos today lol

9. I just feel from the writing and the direction of the show that they are into characters that are clever and perceptive...none of the characters have been written as dumb...they all seem to catch on things pretty fast even Sindy, Eun Go or even Eom for that matter.

10. As far as we know, he's Ryan brother and has his artistic skills, so he would be clever as well.

I just have a feeling he knows about RG too - he's a deeper character than he appears...and he knows about both our leads more than we think.

This was an awesome episode. Further development of our OTP's relationship.

 

Stuff I loved:

 

-RG with the clutch last second save protecting DM's identity from SA (and DM's cute expressions of delight but trying to hide them coz they're still supposed to be fighting)

-DM chasing RG and hitting him after he revealed he was Latte

-The whole RG seducing DM scene

-DM's pout face to mischievous grin after Sindy tells RG she wants to make SA merchandise ("I want it too")

-DM immediately telling RG about EG's formal confession, showing us that adults do exist in kdramaland

-Sindy being likeable the whole ep

-DM's pink suit outfit. Damn PMY is drop dead gorgeous. Have I said that before? I think I'll say it again. PMY is drop dead gorgeous ❤️

-DM nudging RG to keep telling her mom how it's her fangirling that made him fall in love with her (hilarious how she's like "keep going keep going") 

-RG being jealous of the SA fan art (why is my gift not in the center??) 

-DM's face and excitement telling RG about her fan merch, you can just see the pure joy she has sharing her passion without fear of being judged

-DM immediately getting something's wrong with RG at the end of the episode (almost heartbreaking, but then I remembered we're watching a mature and adult couple here, then it became touching)

 

 

Stuff I hated:

-About the ep? Nothing really. It was the perfect follow-up from last episode's fireworks. Only that I waited until 2am local time just to watch right away (the usual time Viu releases the subbed episodes), and now it's 4am and still hanging out here, and I have to go to work at 8am. I really have to get some shut-eye. Lol

[ravenbleu 623]

I just loved DM was nudging Ryan to tell tell her mom how he fell for her and Ryan being the awesome boyfriend that he is, truthfully told her mother even if he was cringing internally. 

In this scene, I think maybe KJW broke character because you can see him trying so hard not to laugh as he lower his head when DM tells her mother "it's not because of the fangirling that I couldn't date".

Did another actress wear that red and beige top in another drama? The one where the male lead has a robotic arm. And its set in the airport? It is rather distinctive.

 

No comments about the episode. I saw the clips yesterday post airing. That latte moment really looked adlibbed and natural. That felt like PMY and KJW.

Same with me. Did not sleep last night waiting for subs, and around 230am watch it with sub.. Now its 5 am, eat (suhuur for fasting) while reading here.. tomorrow i certainly gonna get cranky since i dont catch enough sleep. I should remind myself to watch all the GIF here whenever i feel tired tomorrow so that i will smile and forget about my tiredness. LOL

Hi everyone! Just another lurker outing herself... *raises hand sheepishly*  I’ve enjoyed all of your thoughtful and fun posts! I just want to apologize beforehand for this long post...

 

It has been a long while since I’ve fangirl’d over a drama... the last one was probably Goblin, which was over 2 years ago, mainly because Gong Yoo is my fav. And I don’t watch too many romcoms all the way through anymore. 

 

But this drama has me obsessed!  As mentioned by all of you, it’s largely due to the undeniable chemistry of the OTP and the way their characters have been written. They are mature, flawed, quirky, and both so real yet unreal enough to squeal over. The narrative definitely still uses traditional tropes (childhood connection and trauma, frustrating second leads, etc) and I could see the ShiAn/Ryan connection from a mile away (could still be wrong lol), but because I’m head over heals for Ryan and DeokMi (both individually and even more as a couple), it’s so damn delightful and I’m absolutely all in with whatever this couple will go through together. I’m okay with tropes as long as they’re able to keep it fresh, and this drama manages to do that thanks to the two of them. 

 

I think I could go on and on about why I love KJW and PMY here as Ryan and DeokMi but I’m sure I’d just be echoing all that has been said about them already. 

 

I have to say, I didn’t think episode 10 could be topped (before ep 10, I loved 5) but I absolutely loved episode 11. I’m a Korean speaker so I was able to see it raw. They just seem like a real couple who seem to be getting to know each other and falling in love... it reminds me of me and my husband. Obviously very different circumstances, but even details like that short kiss in ep 10 after Ryan carries DM off of the table after their huge make out session... that was such an organic and realistic touch. The conversations, the banter, the trolling, the tension, the physical aspect all seem very realistic... so rare, for me at least, to see it portrayed so genuinely and with such earnestness  these days in a romcom!

 

But back to episode 11, I love love loved, their fight scene/makeup scene at Ryan’s house. It felt so organic and their willingness to communicate and support one another continues to make me so happy. I also loved that they made DM the one to do a wrist grab and a back hug in this episode... flipped the usual tropes .

 

However, I think the thing I loved the most was the way episode 11 started and ended. It started (or ended last episode) with Ryan saying, “It’s okay... Shi Na Gil.” And it ended with DeokMi saying, “It’s okay... you can cry.” It was very touching. And a true sign of a deepening relationship when you can see that person’s deepest darkest secret and tell them it’s okay... that you see them and you accept them. That you don’t have to be embarrassed (for DM) and that you don’t have to suffer alone (for Ryan). I loved the way Ryan accepted DM’s fangirling, and without much judgement, and I think part of it is because he’s an artist himself and he sees her passion as something that is almost inspiring... in the same way he respects her parents’ obsessions as well. And with DM... although Ryan hasn’t told her in detail about the triggering paintings and his trauma other than from their conversation at the museum in episode 3 and the hand holding bit, she doesn’t push him to share. She senses how he’s feeling and reacts in such a reassuring way, such as the hand hold when they find the painting, and the hug at the end. And that last scene... it was very beautiful. I work with emotionally disturbed youth who tend to have trauma, and it’s heartbreaking. Those feelings of abandonment, of not feeling wanted or loved... that pain runs so deep. So the fact that DM hugged him without asking questions and provided a shoulder to cry on, was the most loving thing that she could have done for him. It was touching and moved me to tears and it will definitely be one of the most memorable scenes for me. 

 

 

Some observations and things to look forward to... 

– From ep 11, during Ryan’s dream, we were able to hear the voice of the lady who abandoned him and even though it was distorted, it sounded like DM’s mom to me... I definitely don’t think Ryan and DM are related, but I do think there’s some painful connection. Hopefully they handle this storyline well... fingers crossed. 

– From ep 12 preview, it looks like DaIn has one last thing up her sleeve and I’m going to guess that she’s going to try and find Lee Sol as a last attempt to gain Ryan’s attention. 

– I also feel like ShiAn may be looking for his brother, which could definitely be Ryan. Hope to see more scenes of them together.

– I actually like and appreciate where SJ and her husband’s storyline is going due to their honest conversation in ep 11 because I was not as interested before. I hope that they will be able to work it out. 

– I also like what they’re doing with Sindy/HyoJin! My personal thought is that I hope Sindy ends up working with DM to run the fanpage and learn as a mentee to be a healthy fan and not a stalker. 

– I also really hope to see Ryan and DM  create art together. I hope he will be inspired by her and that she could play a part in helping him overcome his inability to paint. Also a kiss somewhere in there?  

 

Again, I apologize for the extra long post! Thanks to those who read this all the way through!

And this scenes though, so natural.. These 2 and their chemistry.

 

Spoiler

We need more relationships like this in dramas, where they sit down and talk about the problem, tell each other everything, no secrets, so there won't be any misunderstandings later, understand each other's feelings with no need for words. a mature relationship.

It's my first time seeing a second male lead with so little presence.. That confirms how charismatic the male lead is.

Korean viewers need to get on with the program. They're missing out on a good show!

Hopefully, Doctor Prisoner ending this week will help.

[cenching 44,971]

For those who understand Korean well, may you please explain the meaning of the statement, “ShiAn’s thigh improves my welfare”.....Thanks in advance...
