Min Sang Woon was a bulgasal in her past life 600 years ago. At the exact moment when she stabbed Dan Hwal, his soul was absorbed into her body and his pupils turned a shade of violet as he transformed into a bulgasal. With Dan Hwal forced to endure the curse of becoming a bulgasal and Min Sang Woon transforming into a human after taking his soul, it remains to be seen how their lives will carry out in the present day.

wow what a story!!!i loved first ep!Hwal was such a complex character...his relation with his wife was so interesting...love and hate ...they did seem so close when they were children...

 

So Min Sang Woon was a bulgasal...she saved him when he was a boy but ended killing him many years later?Why?What did she wanted?To be human?

 

i have the feeling that  Min Sang Woon was not the one that killed his wife and son maybe that man the other bulgasal did it ...and maybe she was not the one that cursed him...i feel is more...i feel that she was not the evil one

[rocher22]

So he is now Bulgasal and she has become a human being....       

I felt sorry for Hwal because he didnt eat that rice ball.

TODAY EP was so intense...3 sisters +a single mom...2 of them twins ...one of them remembers her past lives and has the scar from the sword...we know that their mom died and one of the twins died( or maybe is missing)the police did asked where is your sister at hospital...was the one with the scar?That was for sure the bulgasal in her past life, 600 years ago and knows that bulgasal  is looking for her ...who survived?The sister that does not remember?Or the one with the scar?Was HWAL the one that killed their mother or there is one more monster that is looking for her?What a mess!I can't wait the subtitles...

 

what happened my friends?Is the past bulgasal dead?Or her twin?if she has the scar is her...but if she doesn't is her sister and has nothing to do with the past...a soul can't be reincarnated in two bodies even if they are twins...and she only seems to remember her sister words...WHY one got the memories and scar, one Hwal soul...the monster did said he can smell her soul...( to sangwoon)

[larus]

I haven`t start watching yet but from the reactions it seems to be a promising start. I hope I will watch until next week and join the discussions.

interesting...

So, the twin sister, she was the Bulgasal 600 years ago and had the sword wound scar.....she said, this is my last chance to kill the Bulgasal because I won't be reincarnated again. So, then what does that make her twin sister. She can sense the monsters too. So how is this thing working? Was the soul split when twins were born or is there two people and a lot more to this story we haven't seen yet. The Bulgasal 600 years ago said why would you add more bad karma and I despise you. What did she mean by that. Hwal wasn't marked or curses by accident so even the story that we saw has to have backstory. Why was Hwal cursed, how did his mother know he was curses to the point she killed herself. So many questions, so little answers.

I am hooked.

yes...it seems the curse split this time...same face two girls...one got the scar and was able to remember the past and the other got the soul the monsters are able to feel and want to kill...i think HWAL was not the one that killed the mother and the sister...we know there is one more bulgasal ...he is also looking for her...that's why he killed the girl with the scar ...what will happen later?will she able to remember the past and why she hated Hwal so much?Was she the one that killed his familly?Or was one more bulgasal that night?I do hope was not her the one that killed his wife and son...

GOOD START!!!

[PororoQueen]

What a handsome Bulgasal.

Kinda disappointed with the impression that Hwal did not show his love towards his wife and son. I mean, they had 2 kids already he must be in love with her.

 

I am hoping that Min Sang Un is the reincarnation of Lady Sol (Hwal's wife), so they can fall in love again.

But then where is Gong Seung Yeon will be in 2021?? LOL.

yes ...i have the feeling he loved her...she did not want to marry him ...maybe they were more like brother and sister but the general forced them to marry

what if she is Min Sang Woon younger sister...we only know her adult face...

[Nymeria289]

Min San Woon isn't the wife. The wife he did not love. He was duty bound to marry her....caring =/= loving. My theory is Hwal's path crossed with Min Sang Woon in another life as well before his birth. The curse wasn't explained, why was he cursed? Bulgasal while dying said, you did it again? So what did he do again? Why did the dying Min Sang Woon/Yeon say she despised him? I believe we'll get those answers slowly.

yes seems he was the one that started...the key is in the past ...before he was Hwal who was him?What did he do to her?I can't wait to know

Lee Jin Wook And Lee Joon Talk About Working Together On “Bulgasal” And More

Style

Dec 20, 2021

by S. El-ali

 

Actors Lee Jin Wook and Lee Joon showed off their bromance in their photoshoot and interview for Cosmopolitan!

Both actors separately sat down with Cosmopolitan to talk about their new drama “Bulgasal” and more.

The interview first began with Lee Joon, who touched on why he chose “Bulgasal” as his first drama after returning from his military service. The actor stated, “This drama has a fantasy element to it and involves the idea of karma. I actually really like any fantasy works that involve mystical creatures. I really enjoyed watching ‘Sweet Home’ so I have always wanted to try acting in a drama like this, which involves a lot of CGI and monsters. When it comes to ‘Bulgasal,’ I didn’t care about how much airtime I got, I immediately decided to do the drama after I saw my character first appearing in a scene.”

Lee Joon then went on to talk about what he thinks the director saw in him during his audition for “Bulgasal.” Lee Joon mentioned how he thought that he actually flopped the audition and did it weirdly but the director believed in him and thought he could do well. He added that the director allows him to fool around on set and shoot comfortably. He also revealed an interesting fact about his acting in this drama which is that he actually ad-libs over 30 percent of his lines and that he is the only member of the cast to do so.

 

 

The interviewer then asked Lee Joon about Lee Jin Wook and whether there were any funny memories the two made together while filming the drama. Lee Joon responded, “We were always a bit sensitive because we shot a lot of difficult and uncomfortable scenes together. For example, there was a scene where we were barefoot with our clothes all ripped crying and hanging off of something. There were a lot of line and extreme emotions we had to display so that was a tough scene to shoot. Jin Wook also had many scenes where he had to strongly express sadness and anger. I think we looked out for each other because we both didn’t have any normal scenes to shoot. this drama also involves a lot of special effects, we couldn’t even breathe in one scene where the set was on fire so we didn’t really have time to joke around. We would have had more fun shooting if we had met on another type of drama.”

Lee Joon concluded his interview by commenting on what he has been up to since he finished his military service. He talked about how contrary to what everyone thinks, he has actually been working nonstop since he finished his military service and that it only seems to not be the case because all the dramas he was been working on are only now being released. The actor stated, “I have been working on this other Netflix drama ‘The Silent Sea’ since 2019 and there have been times where I was so busy working that I couldn’t go home for two weeks.” The actor then amusingly mentioned an instance where someone asked him why he has not been acting in anything these days to which he responded with, “But I am acting?” Lee Joon then cleared up any misunderstandings and said that both dramas he has been working on involved a lot of CGI and post-production work which is why they took so long to prepare for release.

The interviewer then moved on to interviewing actor Lee Jin Wook and asking about his chemistry with his fellow cast while filming “Bulgasal” to which the actor responded, “I shot the most amount of scenes with Kwon Nara, who was great to work with. We both have a similar sense of humor so there was even a point where we couldn’t hold back our laughter and got yelled at while filming. I even had to tell Nara once to look at the floor when I was shooting my scenes because I couldn’t hold back my laughter when I looked at her. Actress Gong Seung Yeon is also a very dear friend of mine. She has a great voice and is quite elegant so she fits historical dramas very well. In the beginning of the drama we appear as an unhappy married couple but our chemistry was so good while filming together that I even joked around about shooting scenes where we were happily married instead.”

Lee Jin Wook also commented on his chemistry acting with Lee Joon to which they both had a similar response, “I didn’t get to see Joon that much and we always only shot gruesome scenes together. we appear as enemies in the drama so we always fight each other in our scenes. I think that’s why we also instinctively didn’t get closer to each other. We we considerate of each other’s acting process by staying out of each other’s way which is think is an interesting new kind of acting rapport. We didn’t exactly bond and become close friends but I guess the kind of chemistry you had with your enemy is quite different.”

 

 

The interviewer also asked Lee Jin Wook about his recent activity on social media and how it was surprising to see the actor’s deep interest in street fashion. Lee Jin Wook responded by saying how he has always been into street fashion but that it has not been a well known fact about him until he began using social media. The actor commented, “People seem to picture me as more old-fashioned, as if I would only wear slacks and a dress shirt. Or that I would have more of a dandy fashion sense and only wear cotton pants.”

Lee Jin Wook had previously posted an image of his impressive sneaker collection which became a hot topic amongst his fans. The actor remarked on that by saying, “I’m actually a huge Nike sneaker-head. I built up my collection for a long time and collecting sneakers is one of my biggest pleasures.”

 

Spoiler

 

Lee Joon stated, “‘Bulgasal’ and ‘The Silent Sea’ will be released around the same time, so I am curious to hear everyone’s thoughts on which one of these two dramas marks my return to the screen. ‘The Silent Sea’ will be released on Christmas Eve while ‘Bulgasal’ will air on December 18.”

On the other hand, actor Lee Jin Wook stated, “I hope everyone spends a lot of time the upcoming year reflecting and learning to love themselves. I realize as time goes on that that is quite essential for happiness and for self-development. It is a bit of a difficult and vague thing to create happiness but I think focusing on the small things surrounding us that make us feel happy is a much better way to remain positive. I hope everyone spends this upcoming year focusing on their happiness.”

I just finished the two episodes and wow! I really like the story so far and very intrigued with the concept. I can't wait how it will play out now that Sang Un does not remember what had happened, or what to do, and so I think that process of knowing who Bulgasal is will lead to romance -- and then most probably that dilemma that now he won't want to kill her and get his soul back.

 

Also, that interview haha I also didn't think he would be into streetwear and even collects Nike shoes! I'm glad he was able to share that little detail of him and that he is receiving love for his fashion. 

 

Can't wait to watch the next episodes! Hopefully the show will release some kind of making videos.
