I hope the flashbacks will not take the whole part of S2.

Some are good but only to make us understand better the characters and the story.

I would love to see some flashbacks of Jeong won 's POV  and how he fell for Gyeoul

But as a person I love to look ahead because otherwise you are stuck in the past.

I agree with other posters that when I started watching the drama I believed I was watching a wise series and trusted the title of the series.

If they wanted to do a new installment of Answer Me they could also name it  Reply 99.

Every one of course can believe in everything he wants and like but personally I dont think a 40 year man who his whole life was living with the idea of priesthood and in a Catholic environment with no human desires except the last year when he met a particular one will suddenly starting behave as a man hungry for lust and  go after alluring girls.If that was the case he would not fall for a girl that has 4 outfit for the whole year depends the season.

 I read above that the writer will try to satisfy and speak to the Korean viewers then even more the love lines we saw already will stay like this until the end.

First loves in your 20s are cute and always have a place in your heart but what is important is the love that moved you and made you rethink who you are and what you want to do.

If a person made you  reconsider  your whole existence I find it hard to believe that you will go and think -if there is anything to think -the person that you liked in your 20s but obviously you  did not like her enough to make you change your mind.

I think by having those kind of thoughts we make injustice  to  JeongWon's character  and to the writer /director's writing ability as well  because we want to justify our own desire.

If they were to have scenes from their days back then, one thing I personally want to see is a story/scenario that inspired each of them to pursue their respective specialization field.

 

 

I totally forgot about JeongWon’s character description’s part of his ‘love in his 20’s’ since Personally I feel like the whole season 1 didn’t even address or imply it to the slightest. 

so wouldn’t it be weird to suddenly have flashbacks about his supposed ‘first love’ in season two now when there was no indication at all in season one? What’s the point of it? Unless it meant to introduce a ‘love rival’ to WG relationship?  

[Dramageek]

Anybody who read hangul can help me? I was looking for the name of the actress who played as a pregnant woman who lose her baby. I cannot find her name in any english sites featuring Hospital Playlist cast. Her acting truly impress me and I want to know her name so badly. And if she has IG I want to support her.

[kiefshi1056]

what in the world is our  WINTERGARDEN doing nowadays, maybe busy dating getting to know each other I wonder how sweet will be Jwon to Gweol because Jwon is not the flaunting type. Does Madam Rosa often ask Gweol to come to their house i believe they will be the best mother and daughter in law.

Maybe Gweol became more busy and popular in Season 2 then Jwon will get jealous of her work and ask her to quit and marry him so they could spend more time together

Can't wait for SEASON 2 Did they start shooting already?

I still don't think the "love in his 20s" part means a romantic love....In one of the translations I read, it was subbed as "love that came to him in his 20s" so it could also mean one sided love on the girl's part, whoever that is. I just think the phrase is used in a more general sense to emphasize that a lot of girls came after him, he is handsome and kind afterall, but no one made him turn his head or reconsider his childhood dream until he met Gyeo ul. In conclusion I bet my money on Jeong won's first love being Gyeo ul. LOL.

or god

 

his love in his 20s..when his hormones realized god could be an option

 

(See.. JW was always meant to make this drama BL.. unnecessary complications in my JW-SH love story)

 

(for super sensitive souls wandering here itching to retort... think, chill, see the intent.. and move on)

[sakura22]

I've shared this before that my intepretation of Jeong Won's "love in his 20s" doesn't necessarily mean it is his first love - it could be his love and passion for god and paediatrics/medicine. I am also trying to not be too hung up over character descriptions as much as I am with writer and director's past work. 

 

Their past story would definitely help to understand the characters more especially to resolve the confusion, provide clarify and align the viewers with characters and writers - especially with some interpretations of ships. Their pasts and all they've experienced and learned undeniably help shape the way they are now.  However, their present is more important. Some feelings and decisions in the past could be fixed or corrected in the present - however, most people chose to accept that some things in the pasts happened the way that it was meant to be and moved on with their present. The possibilities  are there, and it is still possible to pick up where the person left off - but it is still replaced by new memories, new choices and new feelings. 

This is why it is better to live in the present moment, decide your choices now, instead of regretting and living in the past. 

 

So I would rather the rest of the seasons focused more on the present - the growth of the characters both professionally and personally either individually or because they now have someone else as their additional support system. How do they live in the present and potentially in the future. Of course, flashbacks would help tell the story more and help with the comparison of their growth then and now. 

Is there a need to relive the past, as if the past would completely decide how they ought to live now in the present.

In the first season alone, the characters have shown more maturity and growth, different choices they made and influence on other people by just being themselves - I hope there are others like me who are also excited to find out more of how they would with what life will throw at them and how they would continue to touch and impact others. 

 

Jeong Won and Gyeo Ul's development both individually and together are still what I am fully interested in, but there are other elements of the dramas including the characters that I am looking forward to. I hope both writer and director remain consistent with this in the next seasons with minimal flashbacks. I am grateful that they provided certainty with Winter Garden in last season, if otherwise, I would be taking the rest of the remaining months to accept it so I can be open minded with Season 2. 

 

Be present, move forward without being stuck in the past. 

 

 

[superspace]

There's a story behind everything

 

People: 3 weeks passed already and please move on from HP

HP fans: but there are still many things that we can discuss more~

[ktcjdrama]

Piano Violin Cello cover of 3 OST

 

 

[Guest]

@ktcjdrama wowwww....so nice! Thanks for sharing. They're just like the Piano Guys! 

[__jesse]

Hello all you lovely people who, like me, are still trying to move on from HP. I have come with a basketful of random Easter eggs. Enjoy!

 

Ring Ring~

 

Spoiler

In R88 ep 1, the clock struck 6 and Taek walked in. It was a hint that Taek would make his first move by asking Deoksun out in ep 6.

 

Spoiler

During the kalguksu scene in ep 2, Ikjun’s phone rang 7 times before he picked up. Don’t you find it weird that he took so long to answer the call? It was Shin pd’s way of telling us that act 2 would begin in ep 7.

 

 

Chocolates

 

Spoiler

The choco pie which Jeongwon gave Gyeoul, Mon Cher (몽쉘), means “my dear/sweetheart” in French.

 

Spoiler

Junwan’s favourite 72% Dream Cacao contains 1220mg of polyphenol. If you enter “1220” in the noraebang system, you’ll get this song: “Met You by Chance” by Songolmae. This part of the song seems to be talking about him.

 

There is something I want to tell you

Why can’t I muster up my courage?

I want to say it to you

But I don’t feel confident

My heart is pounding

A fool, such a fool

I must be a fool

 

Spoiler

 

 

Songhwa’s Camping Spot

 

Spoiler

Songhwa loves camping. Her go-to spot was Yeoninsan (연인산) campsite, specifically B-104.

• “연인” means “lovers” in Korean.
• In the noraebang, song number “104” is Choi Jin Hee’s “가버린 당신”. I can’t find English translation of the lyrics, but the song is about longing for a lover who has left her, and that it’s too late now. Is this song talking about Prof Jang or Ikjun? Hmmm…
• The only two times we saw Songhwa go camping was in ep 3, after she broke up with Prof Jang. Local folklore has it that those coming to Yeoninsan wishing for true love will have their dreams come true. The force must be strong with this one because she went twice, and her wish came true in two ways: Chihong came to the campsite, and Ikjun filed for divorce.

 

22:00

 

A few YouTubers have talked about the meanings of the books on Songhwa’s shelf. What I’d like to talk about is the clock. Song number “2200” is Kim Dong Ryul’s “Etude of Memory” and this part of the song seems to be talking about her feelings.

 

As many days go by

When my heart becomes worn out

Inside my heart

The vanishing memories of you come find me again

I will remember them, won’t I?

Inside those dreams of the future that have grown too big

The fading memories of you

Will I remember them again?

 

Another interpretation I have for this clock, is that it hints at IkSong becoming endgame in ep 22, i.e. S2 ep 10. Another reason why I think we’ll need to wait for another 10 episodes is because of this scene:

 

Ikjun: Wait for just ten days even if you miss Daddy, okay?

Uju: Ten days? How many days is that?

Ikjun: Ten days… It’s more than nine days but less than 11 days.

Nanny: Uju, Daddy will be back when you finish counting with all ten fingers.

Ikjun: My gosh, you’re such a pro.

 

In LWJ’s script, nothing is redundant, so I wonder if there’s a hidden meaning behind this extended explanation on the length of 10 days. For now, it’s just a headcanon, but it’s fun don’t you think?

 

 

Parallel Love Triangles: 1999 vs 2019

 

Spoiler

I wrote about the colour theory before: Ikjun is yellow; Songhwa is purple; and Seokhyung is green.

 

Spoiler

The love triangle in 2019 was parallel to that in 1999. This time, Chihong is green. Once again, the two love rivals met at the drinks table. But the difference was, this time round, Ikjun chose to confess.

 

By moving to Sokcho, Songhwa gave Chihong a clean rejection. She moved the green box out to the balcony, neatly separated from her with a line. Inside the apartment, with her and Ikjun are red and blue books, which symbolise marriage.

 

Spoiler

This is Songhwa being done with Chihong. Now if you ask me, how does Jeongwon come into the picture? I'd say, he was never in the picture all along.

 

 

“Oh, What a Shiny Night”

 

Spoiler

In Korea, saying “I’ve gone there and come back” is a euphemism for divorce.

 

Seokhyung: 저는 갔다 왔습니다. (jeoneun gassdawassseubnida = I’ve gone there and come back = I’m divorced)

Ikjun: 저는 갔습니다. (jeoneun gaseubnida = I’ve gone there = I’m married)

 

This adds another layer of meaning to the band scene in ep 5, when Seokhyung and Ikjun left halfway, leaving the rest singing, “Don’t go, don’t leave me behind…”

Spoiler

 

This implies that:

• Jeongwon, Songhwa and Junwan were unsupportive of their marriages.
• OT5 hardly met after Seokhyung and Ikjun left to get married. Jeongwon, Songhwa and Junwan mostly met up among themselves.

The kalguksu scene also confirmed that OT5 became OT3 prior to ep 1:

Ikjun: Guys, no one would eat that fast even during a war. Why eat so quickly?

Jeongwon: Hey, you have no idea what they did to me. When we had cheonggukjang last time, I only ate tofu. These two ate all the beef.

 

Only Jeongwon, Songhwa and Junwan ate together previously. Also, Ikjun didn’t know about Songhwa and Junwan’s eating habits. This suggests that their eating habits have changed since the last time they ate together. Songhwa’s three older brothers were just an excuse. Maybe their hectic and unpredictable working hours have forced them to eat quickly, and it gradually became a habit. 

 

Spoiler

 

Also notice how Songhwa become uncomfortably quiet when Jeongwon started berating them. If I were her, I wouldn't want to meet up with them if this happened all the time. 

Spoiler

 

 

 

The Mafia Game

 

Jongsu: My grandson is coming next weekend, and he wants me to play the mafia game with him. What do I do?

Jeongwon: You can do it. A lot of young people play it. It’s fun.

Seokhyung’s mom: It must be fun since The Godfather is fun.

Jeongwon: Yes. To put it simply, one of you is chosen as the mafia. And the rest of you will be innocent civilians. When you’re chosen as the mafia, you have to pretend to be a civilian to not get caught by them. The goal is to figure out who the mafia is.

Jongsu: I see. That’s easy. We have to find out which one of us is lying, then.

Seokhyung’s mom: I’m good at fishing out people who are hiding things. I think I can ace the game.

 

Spoiler

These four people played the mafia game twice. The first time was in ep 6, where Ikjun accused Chihong of being more than just friends with Iksun. By then, Chihong had already confessed to Songhwa, but she feigned ignorance by keeping quiet and even corrected Ikjun, “A younger sister’s husband is a brother-in-law.”

 

Meanwhile, the real mafia – Junwan – got pissed and reacted in a way which reminded us of Rosa.

Spoiler

 

 

Spoiler

The second time they played mafia game was in ep 10. Junwan wanted to admit he’s mafia. He blatantly lied, “I miss Uju, too… I wanted to talk about life.”

 

Later, Junwan got jealous and took back his tangerine. Chihong saw it, but he didn’t say anything. Because he knew Iksun and Junwan are dating. After all, he talked to her on the phone often.

 

By then, Ikjun probably knew that Junwan and Iksun were dating secretly. So why did he continue to pair Chihong and Iksun together? He was trying to see if Songhwa would get jealous. That’s why he turned to Songhwa and asked, “Did you know she was preparing to get a doctorate?” He was trying to say, “See, that’s how close they were!” Songhwa displayed not an ounce of jealousy, but instead leaned in to hear more.

 

In the end, it was Junwan who got hit on the head, figuratively, by the fact that Iksun was leaving. As Songhwa left, she patted his shoulder, as if to say, “Take it easy, bro.” She probably realised that Junwan was the real mafia.

Spoiler

 

For the other two in the OT5, the entire drama was one long mafia game, where the audience had to figure out who was the mafia by seeing who was lying.

 

Spoiler

 

Ikjun: Kids don’t lie.

Jeongwon: Of course, not. They’re not like us, adults. When it hurts, they say so. When they are fine, they say so. They are always honest. But adults pretend that they are not sick when they are. Even if they recovered, they fake their sickness, so they can stay a bit longer.

 

Hmm. Why do adults lie? Why do we play mind games? Why does it feel like we’re on the losing end if we admit our feelings first? Who are we trying to protect and what’s there to gain? This is something for all of us to ponder on.

And seok min - seon bin development too for me. They will make a cute pair!

@snowlou

I would love to see this pairing too but I am not sure it will go this way.

In episode 2 SeokMin says to SB /Captain Ahn if they are one item.I dont think he said the line only to say something.

Maybe his words is a hint for future episodes.

@__jesse

very insightful as are all your posts.

 

I feel lucky I got attached  only to Jeongwon/Gyeoul relation because I could not endure the uncertainty for 12 more episodes.

I would love to see IJ the person who cares for everyone, patients,hospital friends, life friends to find the happiness he is yearning as a man.

He deserves a second change.

I think i remember that scene too..seok min asked whether there's something going on between Cap and Seon Bin..and then later on Yun Bok said he's old fashioned for thinking man and woman can't be friend  (and later on in the ep jwan said the same thing to shwa ex). I don't mind either if SB is to be set up with Cap... I like her character very much so i'm rooting for her and plus the two guys are also awesome. But this will just be like IJ-Shwa-Cap all over again  

[akikisetsu]

Can someone provide context on Seon bin (SB) and Capt Ahn?  Are they the same year level?  I honestly thought that both Dragon aka Seokmin and SB are the same year level.  Hence, I got a bit confused when Capt Ahn became the Chief.

Dragon was already there. SB and Capt Ahn are of same batch 3rd year Intern, from same school. Dragon is going to take the exam soon so he is handing over his Chief position to Capt Ahn.

Can't wait for SEASON 2 Did they start shooting already?

I am thinking of who will pay the bill for the dates  must be Ms Winter because we all know JWon always broke. Where would they hanging out, where would they sleep? Gweol is living with her brother so they cannot hold the dates there, Jwon is living with Jwan.... I hope the Ahn family still has a house in Seoul for the couple

Me too. I has a strong feeling that SongHwa love in the student years is Jwon, there is just too many hint about that. I triggered it from ep 2 when SHwa sing a line in the song "Introduce me a good person" - "I want to lean on the shoulder of someone who has a nice hand". And then she did exacly the same in ep 10, she goes out the door with Jwon to get the wood stove she ordered, she put her head on his shoulder. And in this episode, when Jwon riding with Jwan, telling that he has sold his sick car, Jwon is applying the hand cream.

I actually don't think Song hwa's first love is JWon. I know there are a lot of theories out there trying to connect JWon and SHwa in any way possible, but if you see it as a whole picture, it doesn't serve any narrative purpose at all if they were to reveal Shwa's crush as JWon. It just feels too absurd for me to even think about that possibility. The show will straightaway enter the makjang territory from slice of life. LOL. I can't even imagine where Ikjun will end up if they go that route.....

 

I think PD shin already confirmed that IKjun and Songhwa are each other's first love in his interview. He said that she blushed after IKjun put his hand on her shoulders during the shed scene in ep 1. Whether IkJun ends up with Songhwa or not is a different matter but making it a love triangle with Jeong won as the third leg just doesn't make any sense at all. LOL.  

 

As for Jeong won's financial situation, I hope Mama Rosa help him out. LOL. I can imagine him spending their date money on DLL program and GU had to compromise and stick with Tteokbokki or ramen. LOL. I think JWan should move out of their apartment to give the lovebirds some alone time. LOL.
