kenrei Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Thoughts on Ep14: - I remember someone on this thread got disappointed at DM for not rushing to RG’s side after getting a call from an earlier ep. Well you got your wish here. She just needed to install the gps . Poor Ryan, he’s starting to get beaten up by DM a lot of times now..lol. Love seeing Ryan’s fussy hair. He looks so damned fine! - happy to see SJ & SM being able to fix their relationship. They deserve another chance. SM realizing how he fell in love with SJ’s smile is a good start. - I’ve really warmed up to SA’s character for the last couple of ep. His desire to help his mom was touching. He wanted his mom to open up to him and realize that he’s now a grown man whom she can rely on. - glad to see RG confronting his mom for the truth and that he didn’t fully believed her at first. That’s a realistic reaction for him. He needed time to process everything & get another insight (which is of course from DM). It’s really hard to forgive the mom even if she didn’t intentionally abandon him. - I know EG is not a fav character in here but as I’ve said before I’m all good with him so I was happy when he decided to ‘return’ as DM’s friend. He really just needed the time to accept and move forward. Their relationship will always be special and it’s nice to see their banter again. DM needed her old ‘punching bag’ again so she won’t have to use her lion Sidenote: PMY looks so youthful in her get-up. - Oh My Gosh! This phrase when uttered by our resident crazy Dir Eom was just hilarious. Can’t stop myself from laughing so I had to repeat again & again. A good break from the emotional scenes. I just love to hate her - i was in awe at how the little boy in the painting was slowly revealed! At first it seems like all bubbles again but as the mom turned around, there he was... YJ, her beloved son. Those happy memories finally came back to Ryan. He can now believe that he was loved. Great scene! - the scene between DM and SA is so cute! I want more of this esp now that they may be family soon! How lucky can she get?! It’ll be fun seeing their interactions in the future. I do wonder if SA knows her other identity. I’m hoping for a scene where they’ll celebrate DM’s bday and SA will be invited as Ryan’s brother. The guests of course will be her family - her parents, bff-SJ, EG and HJ (she’s kind of semi-adopted now right?)! I’ll bet each guests’ reaction will be hilarious. Three fansite masters plus their idol in a close setting will be fun! - Lol at the face of DM when she said no to the makgeolli place because Ryan was heavy when drunk. She really seems dominant in their relationship Glad that HJ is now part of the office staff. She brings life to the party with her frank remarks! I love her now (actually 2 ep ago)! Lol - last scene - this was my wish after the hand tracing session last week so I was excited when I saw the prev stills. I’ll gush again at PMY’s beautiful silhouette! That messy bun was just perfect for her And I was so mesmerised seeing Ryan concentrating on his tracing. I mean how hot can he get?! I wished this scene has gone much longer. Isn’t it a great coincidence that KJW is a lefty doing this scene w/ PMY. Him being on the left side allowed PMY to show her left-side angle as she always favors this side of hers. A right-handed man can still draw the silhouette but it’ll slightly be a bit awkward from that position or he would’ve blocked the shadow (not sure if I’m making any sense...lol). Anyway, that declaration of love between our two lovers is . DM shedding a single tear shows how great the emotion she’s feeling at that moment. What a great scene! 14 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shynaz Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Agree with someone write in here how progress development character deokmi in episode 14 From episode 1 we know she is fangirl to Sian and episode 14 how she can change the moment talking to Sian to show Ryan and Mom.. Its so how she now can have the real who she can love so much and its name Ryan Gold. Ryan Gold become Deokmi the number one in their heart. I wait the scenes Deokmi shows all pictures she taking Ryans with big the smile. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramageek Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I am with you chingus who are dissapointed with how Lee Sol separation with Heo Yon Jae written. The "car of doom" leads to separation, sigh. Even though playground at the time was a save place, it is stupid to leave your child alone there. Who is this scary sponsor that made Lee Sol choose not to bring her son to the meeting? We really need suspension of disbelief here. But after separation, why she was not able to track-down her son, was realistic. I think she did report to the police. But the police finding probably lead to Heo Yoon Jae being adopted abroad already. Even in the real life, tracking down your adopted abroad child are hard. Most can only wait for news if only the child itself already willing to find bio family. At least Lee Ill Hwa's acting was good. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth2KatyD Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Annyeonghaseyo! Gosh, it's been ages since I've logged into my Soompi account but it's so nice to be back! I miss the camaraderie and all the funny and witty exchanges about an on-going kdrama that has tugged at our heartstrings (like what HPL is doing to all of us here in this forum). Heaven knows, I don't get to fangirl in the real world so this is a 'safe space' for me! I really appreciate and look forward to reading everyone's thoughts about each episode, and all the GIFs shared as well. Kamsahamnida for the passion that you bring forth in here, thus making this forum an enjoyable place to be! And joesonghamnida for being late to the party! Like you, I am in love with Ryan Gold and Seong Deok Mi, individually and collectively. I keep having this goofy smile on my face whenever I see them both on screen (STS syndrome, right?), and they make my heart happy. Kudos to Kim Jae Wook and Park Min Young for their fantastic characterizations of RG and DM, respectively. They are so believable as a couple that I can't help myself from hoping and fantasizing that they are falling for each other in real life as well! Gah, they are just so so adorable and lovely together! How can one not ship them?! The supporting characters are also winning in my book -- cutie pie Geon Woo, the super extra Uhm So Hye, sasaeng fan turned responsible adult Hyo Jin, dependable friend and ally Seon Joo, supportive co-workers Kyung Ah and Yoo Seob, charming Shi An, warmhearted DM Omma, rock collector DM Appa, pecstacular judo silver medalist (and the-one-who-will-never-get-the-girl-he-likes-no-matter-how-hard-he-tries) Eun Gi and the rest.. I am definitely going to miss everyone after the final episode next week as Wednesdays and Thursdays have been the highlights of my week since HPL started, so after next Thursday.. Ottokaji? Anyhow, this is what I noticed after the final moments of Ep 14 -- The First Meeting of Heo Eun Jae and Seong Deok Mi Spoiler It was the day when Lee Sol left Heo Eun Jae at the kid's playground L-R: Heo Yoon Jae, Nam Eun Gi and Seong Deuk Mi 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbiteen Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 BTS for 13-14 finally out~ 18 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeePlatonicFan Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hi everyone! I was re-watching previous episodes and I found something interesting about Lee Sol's painting from Lee Sol's Graduation Exhibition Works in 1985 Korean University of Fine Arts book. I wanted to share this to all of you earlier before ep 14 because I was analysing the paintings but then I realised that ep 14 explores on the 9 drawings in the series. So, I thought it would be interesting to share my thoughts on this painting instead. She was a freshman in 1982. So this book is (I assume) her thesis book after studying for 3 years in university. (I don't know how fine arts university term this. I only know thesis or final year project.) Looking at her painting below, I realised that Lee Sol painted a lady holding a baby wrapped in a blue blanket and wearing a red beanie. I recalled in episode 13, Editor Nam said "I heard she went to study abroad after graduation, but I never heard any news of her debuting. There were rumors of her giving birth." It seems to imply that Editor Nam felt her junior wasn't able to debut because she had other responsibilities such as becoming a mother since there were rumors of her giving birth. So, I believe this painting is a reflection of Lee Sol holding Heo Yoon Jae alone in that bubble. It looks so beautiful, dreamy, protective and yet fragile at the same time. My impression of this painting is that Lee Sol wanted to express her love for HYJ and her circumstance as a single mother. I assume she is an unwed single mother as she was still an undergraduate when she painted this. By saying that, I mean that not many undergraduates are married although I have friends who got married while still studying in university. I have a friend who got married in his 2nd/3rd year of university and his wife gave birth in their final year. They are going to graduate this year. So, it seems like Lee Sol wishes to show that she would strive to be a strong woman to protect her newborn baby and to shower him with love, care and protection on her own. The bubble, just like RG said before, is fragile. So, by drawing the baby wrapped in his mother's arms shows how fragile the baby is in facing the challenges of life. Likewise for the mother who has to fend for herself and her baby. Being born out of wedlock can be stressful. There might be people (those who subscribe to traditional way of thinking) who would ostracise the baby and the mother for not conforming to the ideal nuclear family template. But the bubble also, just like SDM said before, represents happiness and hopes. So I guess Lee Sol is showing that she is happy with HYJ in her arms despite having to go through a lonely battle of nurturing HYJ without the support of a man, or anyone for that matter, and her hopes to continue to persevere and stay strong for her baby. The flowers surrounding the bubble is lovely. Honestly, I'm a person who is bad at recognising flowers. So is this rose or what? Somebody help me on this. lol. But judging from the shape of the flowers, I realised that its petals are pointy or sharp. It could cause the bubble to burst if the bubble comes close to it. So I think Lee Sol is trying to show that as much as the flowers are beautifying the bubble by surrounding it, the flowers could also burst it. If we relate it to life, I felt like the flowers represent the challenges in life that are at times beautiful and at times scary. Anyway, since bubble is so delicate, it takes a lot of care, attention and focus to ensure that it would not burst by accidentally hitting on something unwanted. Painting the space between the bubble and the flowers shows there is a need to distance from these flowers so to maintain a state of tranquility. I feel that Lee Sol's painting here shows her determination to protect HYJ at all cost. From these still cuts above, I realised that if HYJ was born in 1985, he is 34 years old (35 in Korean age) and it doesn't match with what RG said in ep 1 and 12 "This art piece was made in 1987. Do you want it?" If he was born in 1987, he should be 32 years old (33 in Korean age) in 2019 just like SDM and NEG who celebrated their 33rd birthday in ep 14. Anyway, it would be odd that Lee Sol would paint a lady holding a baby in her arms in 1985 and predict that she would only give birth 2 years later in 1987. (Unless she was not painting herself but that doesn't seem like it. She is consistent in her drawings. She drew about what she loves i.e. HYJ.) So, when someone (sorry, I forgot who) said that maybe RG is 9 years old instead of 7 years old, I thought it makes sense. Furthermore, RG lost his childhood memories and he could have remembered wrongly. In ep 14, Lee Sol said "I thought I would be gone for awhile. I didn't expect it to take 26 years." So if we traced back 26 years ago and if he was born in 1985, he would be 8 years old (9 in Korean age) then. With that being said, no wonder the child actor for HYJ looked taller and bigger than SDM and NEG. 5 2 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dramageek Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 On relationship between Sian and Ryan. When did Sian know that Ryan is his real hyung (half brother)? I think when Sian told Ryan that Lee Sol is his own mom, he did not know for sure, yet. The reason he told Ryan, simply because Sian was aware that his mom will ask Ryan to cancel the exhibition, and wanted Ryan to convince her to continue. We must note that Sian couldn't possibly knew that Ryan knew that Lee Sol could be his bio mom, so he wasn't trying to drop the bomb or something. But as a sensitive person Sian could sense Ryan strong reaction to the fact. He thought he was angry because he hide that Lee Sol was his mom, so he waited in front of his door that night to explain. Ryan's reaction did confirm that he was angry. That's lead him to ask DM, was Ryan angry because the lie behind the exhibition (him not telling the truth that Lee Sol is his mom from the beginning)? When DM said no than he must be trying to think of other reason, could it be that...? He knows that his mom will try to talk to Ryan secretly about the exhibition. So when he found her mom break down in the hallway, he knew that it must have something to do with Ryan. That's when he put the two and two together: that Ryan is indeed his mother missing son, even though he doesn't ask her anything that night. He knows his mom secret for sometimes. I think that the reason why he try to collect all of her painting back. He began his interests in Ryan after finding out that Ryan bought one of Lee Sol painting. After agreeing to the exhibition, i do think Sian also did try to research Ryan background. It is no secret that Ryan is an korean adoptee, so I do think Sian_ after finding out this fact_ did wonder about Ryan. Age and background wise, Ryan fitted the profile of his missing hyung. That's why he tries to befriend him and listing facts that their meeting was fate. I think Sian also suspected that Ryan bought Lee Sol painting for himself not for his client. When Sian asked Ryan to meet afterwards, I do think he did it well. He emphasized "hyung" warmly to an awkward Ryan, implying that he knew. Telling him there is something special and fated in their relationship and simply ask him a chance for their mother to explain by giving him her number (so he can call her wen he's ready). 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on 4:07, they should've used that angle, then maybe there'll be a little bit less complaints about the scene being too pedestrian. Lol. Who knows maybe we'll get that angle in the beginning of ep 15 (I wish lol). 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hate it, I had to accept the fact that smoking is a common habit among most Korean men when I first knew that my favourite actor, Lee Jong Suk is a smoker. Actors and idols are not exceptional. There are many actors and actress that smoke. When I watched 1N2D : Quit Smoking Projects, I was surprised that all members are smoker except Cha Tae Hyun. The difference is that KJW is being open and never hide it while some might hide to cover their image (which is good and not wrong. LOL). Yup most korean men smokes. If I am not mistaken by % korean is one of the highest in smoking index. Surprising or not, most actors is a smoker, Lee Jong Suk, Lee Min Ho, Ji Chang Wook, Kim Woo Bin, and more. Some are open about it, some decided not to expose it. KJW is being open about it is a good thing. At least he is being honest with his fans. 10 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wangfengfengg Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I think there was more to the kiss than what was shown in the episode, not that the bts angle was hotter. In the bts, PMY's hand went over KJW's head from one side to the other (her left hand), but in the episode, it didn't (yet). 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinymel Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 @DeePlatonicFan Thanks for your whole post!!! Really loved it. 1 hour ago, DeePlatonicFan said: So if we traced back 26 years ago and if he was born in 1985, he would be 8 years old (9 in Korean age) then. With that being said, no wonder the child actor for HYJ looked taller and bigger than SDM and NEG. I did the same thing re the maths/ages... I think it is a continuity error (unless he really is an 85'er, after all he doesn't know his real bday). However! if he was born in 85 it holds with my original theory that she painted one painting a year that he was alive (ok probably not but that is where I thought we were going when it was announced that there were 9 paintings). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbiteen Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I think it's great the director trusts them enough to let them give their input on various scenes and ad-lib to give those cute couple moments a really natural feel. Clearly they had a lot of different ideas about how to get around the fatal coffee kiss, before settling on PMY's keeling over eye-roll with added cute sound effect~ I thought that last scene in ep.14 was so emotionally charged, but seeing them in the BTS, they're all smiles filming it. Acting game on point! I also didn't realize PMY actually shed tears during the scene where she finds RG in the museum, she definitely looked emotional but I didn't realize there were tears, my episode quality was really crap though. While watching the kiss scene in the episode I thought KJW looked rather hunched over, and now we see in the BTS that PMY is on her tip toes, but in the full shot in the final cut of the episode she's flat on her feet. So IDK if she eventually gets on her tip toes and it's just not shown to us, but it seemed to me like KJW didn't get anymore upright in the episode. =P 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
