[Drama 2019] Her Private Life 그녀의 사생활

[jaemin kimpark 1,504]

Ryan Gold Team....

 

[sugarandspices 90]

The ending was perfect! The whole drama was perfect from great cast to great outfit to the way they solved the conflicts!

 

Seriously, this drama cured my seasonal depression. I was really happy for the past 3 month. This drama has brought me joy and I will definitely remember spring 2019 as the rainy season and HPL. After working 12 hour shift at night in the hospital, I used to run to my car and drive home and try to stay awake to watch HPL in the morning, some days I was able to stay up to watch and some days I would fall a sleep waiting for the live stream loool. I worked in nursery and there is a baby named Ryan and every time he cries in the middle of the night I would cuddle him and tell him about what happened on HPL that week and he would stop crying!

 

i am really gonna miss this drama. Thank you for all contributing by recapping and posting your thearies and all the fangirling/ fanboying! I am gonna go back to reality and recover from withdrawal! Until next time, take care everyone

Unfortunately, it's over. Hopefully, they had enough responses to proceed with the Director's cut.

 

Crossing my finger! Hopefully the studio won't reject the dvd demand. 

Will HPL be broadcasted in other countries? Like Taiwan, Philippines, or other? I hope they will get to promote this beautiful drama outside South Korea. It will be better if PMY or KJW (I prefer both ) can go abroad to promote this.

Kinda disappointed to read that some people said the plot is too weak and rely on skinship too much. I don’t think this is true at all. The director and writer did a very good job to portray a realistic romance. Although Ryan and DM characters are too nice, but I think the key message of this drama is open communication with your loved ones, not jump into conclusions and always show empathy. The chemistry between PMY and KJW is like icing on the cake and makes the whole drama journey a delightful one. 

 

 

Yes you are right.

I think HPL is well written drama. Stick to the tittle “her private life” we still can see DM’s life leading the story line. From just a fangirl and curator climbing up become a very successful fan (also find her tru love) and also become vice director and even go to US like she was dream before. 

Spoiler

Not like PMY previous drama that use her character as the tittle but the story line is just abt the vp’s past

 

Eventho RG looks like the main character here, I think it’s because we are too amazed by Kim Jae Wook. He’s too delightful to ignore. Both DM and RG are mature characters. What is shown at the drama is what reality looks like. And that’s how adults behave.

 

This is the most lovely kdrama ever, I dont need those stupid distractions just to give more color to the plot. We are just happy to see their happiness, we’re sad to see their sadness, we’re laughing to see their funny scenes, etc. At the end WE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS DRAMA. 

 

Spoiler

I know where you read that comment lol. I am my self always triggered to write my perspective over there (about the story line of course, I mean how come they discuss abt how bad HPL in their opinion at their shipper thread). But, I know there’s age gap between me and them so it’s a waste to leave another comment there.

From PMY'S Instagram post, it looks like she cut her hair a few inches, didn't she?

Hello everyone,

 

I'm having serious withdrawal symptoms and really struggling to move on! HPL and our Labit couple were so amazing.  This is the first show ever, for which I would reach late at work because I wanted to catch the raw version live.  I used to be a part of a certain shipper's forum because I was quite convinced that the dating news was correct.  Although I am no fan of the guy, I think he is good and I was just happy for PMY.  But ever since HPL started airing, that place became rather toxic.  Its one thing to root for a certain couple, but its rather sad when you spew nonsense when one of them pairs up with another actor in a show.  It started with how KJW behaved like an older brother to PMY, how he was not popular enough, how PMY looked uncomfortable being touched by him, etc. etc. I have since decided to not be a part of that community.  But today I made the mistake of paying them a casual visit and I was dumbfounded.  I fail to understand why they cannot just stick to shipping their couple.  If they have to critique HPL, they should come here and participate in a constructive discussion.  But instead, they trash HPL and pity PMY for having chosen to be a part of it.  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'm not a shipper and its not my business to predict who will end up with whom, but I detest such myopic attitude and pettiness.  I hope we all continue to take delight in good stories and good performances.  Here's wishing to the success of PMY and KJW in their respective careers. Cheers!!!

You are so observant!!!  

[Moca_hanzel23 236]

But those kind of post can actually be reported to the MOD..soompi is strict with bashing rules. Back in 2015 on our shippers thread we are not even allowed to mention other artist..I mean if you meant to bash them. We even got 1 of out member kicked out because of creating negative atmosphere within our thread. We can be hardcore but still be respectful. 

 

I actually have more things to say but I don't want to change the mood in here.. this is just a positive place..

 

Anyways I'm happy for the LaBit couple they deserve the recognition.. again ratings may not be exceptional but u can see that they have solid fanbase internationaly and the fact that they are rocking the buzzworthy list week after week meaning a lot of ppl do talk about the drama.

Hello my fellow HPL fangirls (and boys) !

I'm delurking again after finishing watching HPL. Just want to share my thought with you guys once again before I turn into lurking mode again.

What can I say right now is what a brilliant and excellent work of the drama team and actors. I am super entertain and enjoy this joyride with big smile on my face all the time.

 

Overall people might say that this is a typical cliche boring recycle plot story drama with lovey dovey cringe worthy scene if they just watch it to find it flaws. But hell no, its actually a really clever anti cliche drama who looks like a cliche one.

 

Heres my arguement.

 

1) Male lead.
Ryan Gold. This piece of gold really is precious itself. At first, uri geum-saja is decscribed as arrogant, ego maniac, self centered male lead who we think will end up like other male lead that so dominant and using his veto power to win against female lead. Oh my, we are completely wrong when this fellow sweetly admit his mistake and ask for forgiveness as early as episode 2. At that point we already fall in love with this lion gwangjang nim.

 

2) Female lead
I love how Deokmi character being built as a successfull career woman and a fangirl. She is a strong woman inside out and no need to depend or being bullied by the male lead (remember how instantly and bravely she revenge on saja by putting the expresso into his drink haha)

She is an example how a female lead should be. Strong but full of feminine charm. Independent yet sofisticated. She is really a major girl crush for us!

 

3) No noble idiocy.
I have mention before, in my 1st post on this thread that i love LUTYN before, because of this reason, and thank god HPL also did a good job by not fall into this noble idiocy path till the end. Kudos!

We were afraid all this time that HPL will also have this noble idiocy when the leads will ask for a break up just for the sake of others but thru understanding, 2 ways communication, and mutual respect, they manage to avoid any noble idiocy while resolving their conflict.

I love how Ryan will always ask for forgiveness and look at the bright side, think positively and forgive others. This is the main reason why the major conflict have been resolved beautifully.

 

4) 2nd lead.
I love how briliantly this drama lead us to assume that Eungi seki will end up with Choi Da Out the female 2nd lead, as usual. But suddenly bam! Make a huge turnover by pairing up Eungi with Cindy. Dont let me start with how cute this couple are. Maybe HPL season 2 can focus on their relationship? Ehems. But of course i prefer watching lion-deokmi lovey dovey scene all the time. Hahaha.

 

5) Ending
At first we thought it will end up like other ro-co drama which the lead characters will face year of separation for unnecessary reason. Uri geum saja also thought like that, he even mention about their long distant love. But no, uri deokmi will never let go of our precious lion and take him with her to the US. HAHA clever girl who cannot be separate with her beautiful canvas like ryan gold.

 

There is many more reason I want to add but just this 5 reasons already mark a huge different between this drama with another cliche typical rom com drama.

 

Overall this is a drama that I will happily repeat once in a while, as my happy pills. And i know you all will too.

Psst, just to add some more.

I'm actually not fond on lovey dovey love story where the leads keep on doing romantic and sweet things all the time. Seriously its not my interest at all because i will easily feel disgusted especially if there are so many unnecessary kiss scene just to boast rating.

 

But i dont know what HPL have done to me. Although there is so many kissing scene (14 kisses starting from ep 7 till the end, to be exact as someone mention before) i still can bare all these kisses. Hahaha.

For me, all the kisses have their own reason and suitable for the situation. And we know how passionate deokmi is. And we also might be as passionate as deokmi if we get someone like ryan hahhaha.

 

Kudos to KJW and PMY mind blowing chemistry that make us believe that they are truly madly in love. ( and i wish it is true, in real life. Finger crossed)

 

Ok sorry for long post. I dont know for how long will i have this lingering feeling and cant move on. But im happy with it and will always visit this thread once in while, reading all of your post with big smile.

 

Love you all, my fangirling family.

 

Once a fangirl, always a fangirl.

Just out of curiosity, do all K-Dramas get cast interviews at the end of the show or is it just the ones with a certain rating?  I was hoping that we could hear a bit more from our Labit couple!

Haha if a topic gets to more than 800 pages with a group of about 10 girls who  keep digging in idol's affairs to look for even the most nonsense thing to justify their imagination, what would you expect?  Why 800 pages? Let's say beecause they have no clear evidence of the imaginary date so they have to blablabla about anything. It's quite fun to see how they react sometimes.  Frankly, I don't chose to write something in their topic, not because I'm afraid of a war. It's just because if those girls refuse to grow up, so just let them stay in their bubble. 

 I understand why you felt annoyed seeing that discussion. Me too but let's forget that stuff and enjoy good dramas and wish the best for the  actors/ actresses we admire. Audience are supposed to comment only on actors' work and not to spread stupid rumours which may make them feel uncomfortable. Good actors entertain us with good films, we give them fame and fortune. It's a win-win contract. But they have no obligation to become the people we expect. It's fun to ship a couple as a result of their movie's chemistry, but it will become toxic if people get obsessed about it and turn upset/disappointed and feel betrayed when the "couple" are not as imagined. Life is not a fairy tale which ends with the wedding of the prince and the beauty who live "happily ever after".  People date and break-up, get married and divorce all the time hehe... 

I love the shipping thread of KJW and PMY because everyone seems to behave in a respectful way. It's natural to wish two beautiful people who played so well a couple in HPL to end up together. But we are in no way going to gossip up to 800 pages about them if we have no dating photos and their dating confirmation. If they date, I will be more than happy. If not I will continue supporting KJW and PMY in their next projects  because above all they are my favourite actors.

Very well put and I whole-heartedly agree.  It is natural to form an affinity for a certain couple who are portrayed as ardent lovers.  If indeed they end up dating, thats great.  If not, then so be it.  But why be so obsessed?  As you said, life is not a fairy tale.  Its their job to convince us that they are in love.  But their obligation ends there.  They don''t owe us anything beyond that.

Both are very professional actors so though their chemistry is explosive...there is also a certain calmness about it all...they have plenty of quiet moments of love....which could be why the shippers are not crazily shipping but quietly hoping for good news and not to create that kind of pressure...

Especially KJW....when you see him.as mtg vs RG.. ...you realise how good an actor he is....and that calms down a lot of delulu...

I remembered the stress on my other bias kyj..she was really freespirited in her bts..and she garnered a lot of fans and anti fans..

I suggest for new kjw fans like me....go watch his yt vids that have gotten uploaded / recommended since hpl....He's comes across as very sweet but subdued in public speaking ....and his friend who keeps asking him to text the audience cos he's too long winded...

 

can you suggest me the link of the yt or the title of the videos?

[liltash85 10,426]

@Airpork those who said that this drama is really relying on skinship too much just having problem with the drama success or don't like the PMY-KJW pairing. TBVH, skinship in HPL is consider the mild ones. Some other dramas has more crazier skinship and too much PDA until you feel illogical to behave like that in public. HPL skinship to me is suitable for the situation they are. for example Ryan and DM did not kiss too much in public, normally they will just have sweet pecks and holding hands. They only kiss at private places when the two of them alone. 

 

so to say this drama rely on skinship only is ridiculuos.

Sadly lately most shipper threads are toxic (I am not saying all shipper threads, Some shipper threads are still peaceful. but the recent ones are.) That's why i stop going to shipper theread now. Shipper nowadays just have no respects to the other shippers that their favs belongs too and what makes it toxic the most is these shippers do not respects the fans of the celebrity respectively. (the real fans who support the artists and not shipping). When the fans said don't take their fansite pictures and edit it into something shipperable media, they just don't listen and when the owner of the photos/media got mad, they just spout nonsense and being rude. I witness few already, 

 

So far, i am happy the La Bit couple shipper is still safe and non toxic place. I hope it can stay this way.

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 ..

[niharika111 494]

Just to cheer everyone up, listen to this song by our very own Mr. Gold.  I think someone posted this song before, but I like it so much that I want to share it with you guys again! I have new found respect for KJW. He is so talented!!!  The MV is pretty cool as well.
