I know right????

Like there isn't a single scene which makes you want to skip it, or fast forward.

I've never been able to be so patient with any any other drama except probably..."I Remember You".

Geez, they even haven't reached half yet but the angst is starting so tiresome. Aigoo... how could they make DO always suffers like that, it's so upsetting seeing her crying almost the entire episode. And what makes it worse is both on/off stage Baek Kyung is no help for her. He keeps confirming and testing HR's memory of DO and still being a jerk leaving her in that field while she's having a seizure. He's nicer when he's not being jealous. I feel so bad for DO. On top of that, should the writer make it worse by setting up HR's role to be his sidekick. It's so frustrating! I feel sad for the extras! Poor DH, just let him get the girl or give him another loveline, writer-nim!

 

I am quite amused by how those girls are moving closer to NJ during the tug of war game. NJ's expression is so cute.  I think the secret plot line keep getting inspiration from BOF. Those electronic stuffs that NJ's mom sent was another meta joke of how GJP sent the same stuffs to GJD in BOF. LOL. You know I love BOF in my old days.... lolol. But here, the story looks pretty lame somehow. I don't want JD to be self-aware. Cuz I'm worried that she'll have a hard tome to accept that her character is such a typical candy character with part time jobs for the sake of her living expanses. If she is self-aware later, I want her to fight all the bully gangs! I'm so tired seeing her do nothing while they did that to her. 

 

Everything feels so exhausting until I saw the preview! Whoops, it's my mood booster! I can't wait to see the past DO and HR history! Everything happens to them in this secret world is just like de javu of their past life. The back bumping, the flowers... can they air the new episode everyday, I am okay if they'll extend it to 100+ long series. Hahaha

 

You're so right..

I hope they extend it too.

I'd be totally on-board with watching these awesome characters for a long long while

Maybe they could even make a show out of their many past lives....

(As mentioned in the MBC Character chart)

[baby.hae 2,675]

Done watching with sub. What a twist at the end. At first I thought new Haru is a completely different person/extras (he doesn't have scar either), but he is just acting and he is actually self aware. 

 

So I want to know his motive, Is he afraid that he might change the story again and disappear so he pretend that he doesnt know anything? Baekyung is already suspicious of him, and Haru also know that baekyung is self aware now, He would be more careful towards baekyung. Btw Baekyung is still annoying af whether he is self aware or not lol.

 

So in the next eps seems like Dan Oh already accept her fate and will getting married with Baekyung, I guess Haru won't just sit down and he would reaching Dan Oh again, and the circle continue he might disappear again. .sigh. These poor souls, I actually feel bad for Haru and Dan Oh couple, they suffered a lot, they only want to be together 

 

Ps. New Haru is so hot loll

Yes he read the book before this episode with Dan Oh, Do Hwa and Haru’s clues and words. He was self aware after DO broke their betrothal. 

 

Betrothal... that sounds sageuk

But I'm now wondering if they were possibly betrothed to each other in their sageuk flower time space... where Haru, who was supposed to be BK's guard, fell in love with DO while protecting his betrothed DO (perhaps while escorting her to him)?

Man, and Kyung is soooo mean still. Like he is so angry at Dan Oh for playing the game and he did so as well... sooo... this needs two to tango, Baek Kyung-ah!

 

Awareness doesn't equate immediate clarity so at the beginning, he was probably merely confused at first because he was aware but couldn't make sense of things because he started to see how DO behaves in one way on stage but U-turns in the shadows, but he doesn't understand how she can do an about turn in the blink of an eye, while he remains somewhat in character because he still can't grasp the change between stage and shadows yet.

 

Then, when he is slowly getting the hang of it, he got upset because he felt he was played like a fool by them, so he retaliated by pretending he was ignorant while fooling them back.

Kim Hye Yoon's crying....my goodness....her pain felt so real....Baek Kyung...poor guy loves Dan Oh....he couldn't take Dan Oh's complete lack of romantic interest in him well...he was internally struggling the whole episode to contain it....Mi Cae....he knew Haru from flower Manhwa....he slipped up when he said the tsundere Haru is more in character for him...but his sadness for Dan Oh was also evident...he isn't trying to keep them apart...he just knows that this world has its set rules and no character can break free...Deok Hwa truly is  gem....I have a theory about Ju Da....we'll see if it comes true

Hello Extra Squad!

 

First time posting on this thread but been stalking here like everyday, lols! It's been like forever since I last posted on a currently airing drama thread.

 

First off, thank you Captain @Jillia for the constant updates from your thoughts to gorgeous GIFs.  

If my connection permits, I will try to pitch in later and it would awesome if dongsaeng @jeonghyang can livecap with his gifs as well.

 

Thankful also for all who shared their thoughts here, it fed my mind with daily dose of EY. 

@briseis I am always a fan of your comments.  My latest fave is (not sure if i got this verbatim) "The most awesome thing that ever awesomed" 

@bebebisous33 @stargazer187 looking forward to your thoughts and maybe @Mau_Cherry can pitch in as well

@Miky88 thanks for the link on the manga and for your thoughts and the chat.

 

 

On Haru, I wholeheartedly agree with you @Jillia that he is one smooth operator when he put his mind into it.  I appreciate Rowoon on his acting skills here.  He can be as innocent as a lamb when he's called to be one.  I'd like to also note that he acted on the dot with being the hot and cold Haru.  

 

TBH, my favorite character so far is Dan Oh.  I love how lively she is.  Despite the situation she is in, she would still want to hang tight to that tiny glimmer of hope.  I love how she lives her life, how she is a good daughter and how in the end it's all about how she only wanted to live her life.  It saddened me so much when Haru treated her like he doesn't know her.  I was miffed when MiChae "brainwashed" that it's all her fault that Haru lost his awareness.  Taking it to heart, DO starts to distance herself from Haru.  Painful to watch.

 

Aaaah, watching the preview aches my heart.  Not only for DO and HR but BK as well.  He's falling for her... fast.  He can't help it.  Yes he is still a jerk but he is trying now and his previous actions cannot be condoned either. Karmic effect...

 

I also particularly like the DO-DH besties, as they were both cringing on Haru's green-violet coat as mentioned by @Jillia, I'd like to add that they are both cringing on cheesy gooey romance stuff as well, they look so funny doing such.

 

Another thing I want to be honest about is NJ and JD storyline... my interest just faded as soon as it started. 

 

I will try to add more thoughts when time and my work permits.

 

Thank you  so much Extra Squad.

Yeah, you, me and most of the kdrama-watching world. So get in line:

 

LMAO You're making me laugh but also it's so accurate. Don't we all want a piece of Ha Ru.

 

@baby.hae

Wait! So you got the impression that Ha Ru is actually aware of everything and is just pretending not to remember in order to protect Dan Oh? That's an interesting theory. I really got the impression that Ha Ru definitely lost his awareness of himself. Yes, there are definitely moments he comes across as weird or like he is hesitating too long when Kyung asks him about the manhwa and whether he knows it or not. And he too conveniently doesn't remember anything that happened in the shadow because that's what happening to character who aren't aware: they forget every conversation and interaction.

 

I personally think though Ha Ru really doesn't remember his old self but because the Secret writer isn't exactly the best he/she isn't able to erase Ha Ru's old character completely. She just keeps recycling her characters, so it's bound to happen that something is still left inside new Ha Ru which makes him do things he would've only done as old Ha Ru. Hence why - in the shadow - he doesn't throw the ball as hard at Dan Oh as he could.

 

BUT I have to say though that like Kyung I was confused why Ha Ru was in the school so late in the evening? Then he walks out of school, the stage is over but then we can hear the sound of the stage being put on twice. Was it coming from the hole? Was the stage really on and it was Ha Ru's storyline to find the hole?

 

So many questions... and hopefully many answers to come.

 

@chubbz

Oh, I totally get that. Like I would side with Kyung if he would found out about the manhwa in this episode and then would be angry because Kyung is simply a character who is frustrated with his life as well and to figure out that everything is just a comic, so a dumb writer created this fate for him... I totally would get him being angry.

 

BUT the thing is he aware a lot longer now and while I still understand how angry he is, I don't understand how Kyung can just easily tell Dan Oh to just go along with the story. Just because he does, doesn't mean everyone else needs to do the same. Plus he is rebelling in the shadows as well. It's just almost like he is a quitter like Jinmichae.

 

I liked how Dan Oh told him that her only setup is that she will die soon and she is afraid of that. But she is accepting it now. But that also she feels it's unfair that she only exists for characters like Nam Joo, Joo Da and for him - Kyung. As Eun Dan Oh she rather wants to spend the short time left with something and someone else. I hope Kyung comes to an understanding that just because he does it the way he wants to, doesn't mean he is permitted to get angry at Dan Oh who rebelled against her fate/storyline.

 

Also... his possessive: you have to stay at my side... that was a big "no" to me. I want happiness for Kyung. He should be free of his abusive father. But Dan Oh is not for him.

 

Annyeong, @nonski-chingu! So happy to see you in this thread. Can we hope to have you discuss this drama here more often now?

[Ayoko xx 242]

Hi everyone!

Honestly speaking I wasn't THAT looking forward to see this drama but after I watched trailer -  I started to wait for this drama to air and then with 1st episode I totally fell in love with all the characters - especially Dan Oh and Haru

I just can't how Haru and Bae Kyung can be this handsome

[Jillia 141,869]

Welcome to the thread, @Ayoko xx! I hope you enjoy your time in the Extra Squad.

 

 

Stills for tonights episode. Like I don't like the whole Joo Da/Nam Joo storyline but I'm here for Joo Da against evil mom.

True!  And gosh, this girl can cry like I wanna cry with her, you just can feel her pain.  Think we might expect more?

Yes chingu, I will to join the convo as much as i can.  TBH, I really loved reading everyone's thoughts as well.

 

-edit-

i keep replaying the preview for episode 8 and it's giving me a sad vibe.  I thing were headed for angstville this coming episodes but I hope at least we get some good unhurried ending for this drama that I have grown so attached already.

[Jillia 141,869]

Like his look went right to my heart... Also, he still keeps looking for her - no matter what. *someone hold me* *sobs* But, dear Secret writer, it's not okay to put part of Kyung's personality in new Ha Ru.

Spoiler

It's like the writer actually hates Ha Ru and that's why he/she decided to put him in the position of Kyung's loyal fellow. And gives him those lines that Dan Oh is Kyung's fiancé and Kyung should take care of her. Like uri Ha Ru would NEVER say that.

 

Lee Tae Ri (Italy ) posted a video of himself... being super cringy at himself after posing. He is so adorable. Plus I remember him as Lee Min Ho times when he was acting alongside with Kim Yoo Jung and Yeo Jin Gu as a "child actor". I enjoy him very much in his role Jinmichae.

 

[Thunder Mage 564]

Didn't log-in for the past few months.

 

Aside from Hotel Del Luna and Sky Castle. This drama is one of the best for this year. 

 

KHY shines in this drama. I knew she can do roles like this when I watched her acting in past dramas especially Sky Castle. Hoping she get more project after this. 

 

As for Rowoon. I only knew him as a member of SF9 a vocalist. Never knew he can act as well. Especially the differences between Warm and Cold Haru.

 

For LJW not going to question his acting ability. Since I already saw him from two different roles (Memories of Alahamara and  Search www).

 

But for Baek Hyung, looks like his character (going to be set-up to be tragic. Not going to get the girl)

 

As for the other Triangle. They're just boring. It looks like the filler part of the show. JGJ is the only one good there. Maybe due to being him being aware. Hopefully the other 2 (JD and NJ be aware as them selves as well)

 

Can't wait for the next episode.
