Eun Gi (Ahn Bo Hyun - ABH): I love you, Gwangjang-nim (heart emoticon)

Ryan Gold (Kim Jae Uk/Wook - KJW):  Using jondae-mal again, Eungi-ssi? (note: "Eungi-ssi" would be jondae-mal too. Jondae-mal refers to formal speech in korean)

ABH:  Yoon Jae-ah, let's go for drinks (note: switched to banmal)

 

The bromance continues... hahahaha

 

Another funny conversation with our principal curator Yoo Kyung Ah (actress Seo Ye Hwa) who left a comment on KJW's post below.

 

SYH:  손석히관장님덕분에 넘나 행복햇던 즐거웠던 든든했던 채움이었어요❤️ 우리대장님 만세!!!

석히사장님은 당신이잖아요 어디서 약을 (Trans: We were all happy and joyful in Cheum Gallery because of you, Son Seok Hee Gwangjang-nim ❤️ Hooray, our Leader!!!) 

 

KJW:  손석히사장님은 당신이잖아요 어디서 약을 (Trans: I'm not Son Seok Hee. That's you. Don't butter me up.)

 

SYH:  오빠가 그렇게 흉내만 안내셧어도 무사히 넘어갈수있었단말이에여 팔꿈치가 너무 웃겼다구요 그 팔꿈치가요

(Trans: [..........])

 

SOS to @luvcrabbieshinhwa + others who can translate the reply from SYH, when any of you have time! Thank you so much   By the way, Son Seok Hee is a famous Korean news anchor. Don't know why SYW calls KJW that though LOL. I read about this from Weibo. Credit for the main parts of the translation goes to april_is_luv IG!

KJW also quite sporting in their concert, when the audience asked him to take off his t shirt, he did tore apart and then take it out, what I saw from the vid is all hphones filming his body, u can see this from 54:00 onwards.

Since, PMY has not posted a farewell message in her instagram, they seem convinced that she did not have a great experience as HPL failed to garner the kind of ratings that the other show did.  

I am positively failed in trying to understand the logic behind this reasoning. Isn’t normally a person will want to moves on or says goodbye asap to something that he/she considered unpleasant experiences and reluctant to says farewell to something he/she considered dear to the heart???

You are right..

 

 

 

for me, HPL is healing drama ... HPL gives us an example of how a mature relationships are, mutual trust, mutual support and understanding what couples need.

 

 

 

from KJW's gaze to PMY we can see that he loves and values PMY as a partner.

 

 

 

I hope that the two of them don't experience a difficult time to get out of their character, because Ryan and Deokmi are the ideal partners dreamed of by all couples nowadays ..

 

 

 

this definitely feels like breaking up with the best partner ever in your life ..

 

 

 

I hope they will be paired again in a movie and act as husband and wife ..

 

Like someone said before, each of them have their own method to get out from the withdrawal after the drama end.

 

Just like how i broke up with my ex yearsss ago, but the different is they’re actor and actress, they must have seen them in billboards/tv/etc...

Hard to deny but there must be still a lingering feeling when u see them since their spent some time together, they’re still humans after all...

 

Regardless, let’s still hope that they keep a good relationship and support each other closely in the future

they have some very entertaining clips...one put up one of him in some ?army skit

it was really strange but he acted like he was enamoured or fan worshipper of a fellow recruit...I still have no idea what that was despite googling...l

@mushforbrainsI believe she maybe alluding to the drama "Who Are You". He looks good in uniform does he not. In that drama he was the 2nd lead and he was thought to be dead and the story is about the mystery of his death. He was a police officer who was shot to death in the first ep because he was about to find out a cover up and  witnessed by his girlfriend who is recovering from the loss. His scenes are of the girlfriends flashbacks of their love affair. In that clip, I think it his character and his girlfriend had a dinner date after graduation from police academy? There was also lots of skinship in the drama (including forehead kiss} but not as much as HPL. He really rocks the uniform. I would like to see him in another well written police or spy drama. 

I think that both KJW and PMY are actors who engender great chemistry with their co stars and them together becomes naturally reverent, tender and heart melting.

Did Ryan/Yoon Jae ever discover the photos that Deok Mi took in secret in these two scenes? Granted that in the second scene, he did notice that she was taking photographs (but he could have assumed it was him plus Artist Noh being photographed together). 

 

Episode 7

 

Episode 5

 

(Apologies if I missed seeing someone raise this earlier... I tried to back-read but there are too many pages so I couldn't do a complete search.)

 

I'll still lurk in this thread every now and then and post updates if any. And dear @NaYouSabi?, could you please tag me when you post your new scripts if that's not too inconvenient? I love reading your scripts...you have such a wicked sense of humour!!! 

 

Thanks EVERYONE in the HPL big family for all the updates, commentaries, insights, live recaps, translations about HPL during the past many weeks!!!

 

[gemini1990_stv 447]

KJW update on ig! Happy he knows a lot of us are still “thirsty” over him

[chachajeyjey 78]

I'm replaying this particular scene like forever.

 

 

THE UNDERSTANDING

 

THE CONFIDENCE

 

THE TRUST

 

THE GENDER EQUALITY (super love supportive Doek Mi and unfazed Ryan here)

[Oksana Sutra 3,898]

This is my first drama with so many kisses and romantic scenes!

And I'm so happy that my Min Young was a part of this beautiful drama!!!

[bliss1004 12,131]

u see...i just noticed that this Latte nim wearing white skirt in this video...

 

 

but this pic that KJW shared on ig shows that different skirt...i think that is a blanket to cover "her" sexiness.. just like the interview with female celebs that we used to watch..they covered their sexy legs / hips / underwear from being seeing by the audience..so they covered with a blanket..i don't understand why this Latte nim also need the blanket??

Hello, chingus! I have been a lurking reader in this thread since the very first episodes. I enjoyed reading your comments every day. I waited until the last episode to give my comment on this drama.
My background:
I stopped watching a full k-drama for a very long time since My love from the star. I watched several after that but dropped eventually. Then I read that KJW would be the lead in this drama. I started watching K-drama again. I at first watched the drama because of KJW; however, I am now totally hooked into this drama. I am experiencing withdrawal syndrome now. I even subconsciously put my hand on my heart while watching the last episode because I am not ready to say goodbye to Ryan and DM.
In my opinion, this drama is so beautifully drafted. It conveys meaningful messages and builds a very healthy and mature relationship. Furthermore, I feel like it painted my life very well haha. 

First, I wanted to take an opportunity to address some negative comments on this drama and compared with PMY's previous drama in my comment. 
To those people who think that this plot is weak and boring, I totally respect your opinion. I understand that we have different tastes. I dropped WWWTS after 2 episodes because I don’t enjoy exaggerated rom-com and I prefer a brighter and more interesting female character and a mature male character. It does not mean that WWWTS is not a good drama if I don’t like it. 
BUT “those who said that this drama is really relying on skinship too much just having problem with the drama success”. I don’t agree with this. About the skinship, I like it so much because I felt it very natural and surreal. We would do the same with our boyfriend/husband. Many other romantic dramas, I don't see any explosive chemistry from the leads. They told us they are in love but we don't feel it or their relationships make us want to fall in love with someone. However, HPL successfully makes our heart fluttered and want to be loved by someone.

For the success, I looked at WWWTS for its rival. I then figured it out because some lines are very catchy and prominent, and funny (but exaggerated to me).  For this reason, I think people get captivated easily. 
This drama failed to succeed as expected because the message is too subtly conveyed which required you to watch from the beginning and pay attention to detail to see its deep meaning. 
Probably, you just watched some cut videos that led to this conclusion. Many chingus here and I followed this drama since the first episode, I am confidently saying that this drama is more than that. I believe those in their mid-20s and above would think this relationship is very mature and supportive. Ryan and DM help each other grow, they support each other through ups and downs, and they are always there for each other. For all these reasons, there are so many of us who were so into this drama or their relationship that we are having a hard time to move on. 

Here are few values that are drawn from the drama and mentioned before by a lot chingus here:
1.    Equal love. I have seen some relationships in k-drama where male lead has a higher position than his partner. The relationship seems unequal. But in HPL, I don’t see any alpha dominance here. Let’s start with the scene when DM told Ryan about her job in the gallery, you will see that in the later episodes, Ryan often expressed his admiration to her job as a curator though he is a gwangchannim. He gave her respectful praise, good analysis of the importance of her job. This truly makes her feel proud of what she is doing even she wanted to be an artist in the first place.

2.    Sit down and talk aka Communication. This is very important in any relationship even friendship. I feel very related because when things happen, I will sit down and talk to solve the problem. One of my friends turned me off, and I did not know the reasons why. I called him, he did not pick up the phone. I knocked on his door, I asked if I did something wrong, let's fix it together. We are still friends now for 8 years. I really hate misunderstanding, if things get tangled up, just sit down and talk. This is exactly what Ryan and DM have been doing whenever they encountered any misunderstanding. 
3.    Honesty. This is also very important in any relationship even friendship. Look at how DM is honest to Ryan about EG. I don’t see it in other romantic drama. Ryan always says sorry when he made a mistake. That's a gentleman of him. 
4.    Mutual understanding. DM got mad because Ryan knew about her fangirl life but did not open up to her. She forgave him quickly because she understood that he did it for her good sake. Ryan, on the other hand, understood that EG is family to DM. He advised her to take care of this issue considerately so that they would be still a family. 
5.    Support. Ryan supported her to take the opportunity to work in the US. A friend of mine told me that a man that truly loves you would let you grow with your best because if they are no longer with you for some reasons, they know you will do fine on your own. A lot of men, specifically Asian men, do not want his partner to achieve a higher career/education, they are scared because the woman might leave him for a better man. Ryan is not one of those men. DM, on the other hand, supported Ryan to face his inner fear, and step forward regarding his abandon pain. 

6.    Trust. Ryan trusts DM regardless he knows that EG likes her as a woman. Trust me, very few men could do this. I am very surprised when Ryan behaved this way. This happens only when you understand your partner well and confident with her love. 

7.    Being there for each other but still respect privacy. I truly feel very related to this. DM knew something went wrong with Ryan but never pushed him to open up. She gave him some hints that she was there whenever he is ready. Similar to my best friend, we went to different schools. She had new friends and less contacted me for a while. I later told her that because I truly love her so I am very happy to see her having good friends who also love her though my heart was so much in pain. It does not matter who gives her happiness because we all love her. I decided to let her go for good. She felt something wrong. She gave me time to put my thoughts together. When I was ready, we sat down and talked. We now understand each other even better, and still best friends though we live in different parts of the globe now. I read some comments that why DM did not ask or she left him alone. Girls, we need our private time sometimes to clean up our feelings and thoughts. I think it’s a very good move from DM. 
8.    Support and respect your partner’s personal interest. Another related point to me haha. I am a fangirl like DM. After My love from the star, I exchanged to Seoul, Korea for a semester in a hope to see KSH in person. A lot of my friends never understand my feeling as a fangirl, either my best friend. However, my best friend still supported me to follow my idol regardless she does not know him. One time, I checked his flight schedule but not sure if it was correct. She went online searching for his flight schedule. Then we went to the airport to see him. We saw a bunch of fans running to someone. She dragged me with her running with the crowd. She ran even faster than me just because she wanted me to see KSH. Another time, she was standing with me at Myeongdong for 4 hours just for me to get a glimpse of KSH for 4 seconds. I saw this in Ryan. He does not fangirl over Sian because of DM. Instead, he did research to gain a better understanding of her personal interest. When he found out, he respected it. He secretly supported and found some opportunities for her to meet Sian in person. A fangirl would love to have a boyfriend like Ryan who does not criticize/look down on our “religion”, but respect and even support it ( I call it a religion because someone explained this as an analog very well). 

Tbh, I got myself a lot of takeaways from this drama which many other k-dramas do not have. I learn things that are applicable to my personal life. This drama is like a piece of art that not everyone would enjoy it in similar ways. There is a minority like me who got hooked into this drama because we feel related and because this drama taught us many valuable lessons in maintaining/building a mature/healthy relationship. 

I have always been looking for someone like Ryan who will listen to me, support me, be there when I need him, and share life burdens with me. I don't want to come home seeing a person that causes me a headache because of misunderstanding or miscommunication or too different personalities. 

Now let’s discuss about our leads’ acting skill. 
PMY: I watched several of her previous works though dropped eventually. To me, among those, I like DM the best for being so considerate, caring, and loving. I like her the most for her bright character. This is my bias because I always want to get surrounded by bright and funny people, so I like DM pretty much. PMY is a good actress. She portrayed DM very naturally and impressively. 
KJM: I wanted to publicly give him praise. He is definitely a brilliant actor. For some reasons, I like him a very long time ago but never fully watched any of his works because none of these is my style. I told myself that I would wait until he is casted in a rom-com as a lead. This day has finally come. I love to see his performance in this drama. He nailed it with his amazing acting skill. When I put together your characters in Bad guy, Voice, The Guest, Temperature of Love, Antique, and Her private life, I saw 6 characters with completely different personalities, behaviors, attitudes along with the facial/micro expressions. I don’t see any KJW in these 6 characters. He is so detailed and dedicated to his character which makes me fall in love with his acting. For Ryan alone, he portrayed this character very consistently from the beginning until the end. His Ryan character is well perceived through acting as a heartwarming, considerate, understanding and loving gentleman. If you look closely, you will see how he behaves when around DM. He does have mico expression which I really like from an actor. His touches for DM, his raising eyebrow, his secret smiles, all those were captured notably but it got into my heart. He does not only act with his body movement but even his voice. His voice on the phone when he called DM in the middle of the night after the nightmare. I was shocked, I could tell from his voice that he just cried. Or when he proposed, his voice was trembled, he was nervous though he knew that DM loves him too. He truly lived as Ryan on and off screen for 3 months.
There are so much more to talk about your acting skill, but I leave it here. As a fan, I definitely want this drama to go viral domestically and internationally. So that KJW will receive more opportunities which allow him to shine even brighter as he deserves it. So much talented an actor is. I have a faith that I will see him soon in an amazing project. 

In conclusion, this drama truly touches my heart in every sense. It stands out among its peers in the same genre, at least to me. I very much enjoyed watching HPL because of its light plot without dramatic twists. I am dealing with troubles every day so I want to watch an amusing drama to release stress. HPL really amused me. My daily life was lightened up and bloomed over the past three months. Such a beautiful memory. Regardless of its low rating, I now only focus on the thing that I so much enjoyed watching this drama, and it is blooming in me. 

This is my first also last in this thread because I am not a very active person. I am quite laid back. It's lovely to see all of you here. Keep it up with your analysis, sense of humor, and thoughts. I pretty much enjoyed reading it. Hope Ryan and DM gave you a good time as they did to me. Will see you all in their next projects either together or individually. Fighting!
