Hey, I'm also not sure whether it's limited to Korea or not but the French/British setting you mentioned was probably just meant to be 20th century Korea

2023-09-28 23:29:24 +0000 UTCanother fun episode, it was a good idea to watch this with you guys because i can go through the comments to clear my doubts as well. everything is so confusing when watching the first time, so many things are going on. The age difference in such stories is kind of weird however if the girl is older means they will have a shorter time together since the girl is a mortal. In love stories between a immortal like a goblin or Gumiho, the girl falls in love at a young age so that they can stay together for a longer time, its bittersweet. Lee Yeon is looking for her for hundreds of years and he meets people with the same face in different places and time period. Its not limited to Korea i guess, because they have shown her in French/British setting in one scene, I am not sure if you have watched Doctor Who, there also the love story of the doctor and river song is bittersweet. They meet each other in random timelines so they have a non linear love story. I also think she is the reincarnation of Ah eum and the fox bead is blocked for some reason so he cannot recognise her. I am curious to find out the relationship between the brothers. David, I was team Stefan from vampire diaries.

2023-09-16 10:36:34 +0000 UTCOne thing I love about this drama is that itโs super interesting and entertaining, there havenโt been any dull moments so far. I can tell youโre very engaged and interested in it and having fun watching! Especially with the very heavy fantasy and mystery element and the fact that you donโt know most of these Korean myths that are referenced itโs important that you pay a lot of attention so Iโm glad to see youโre keeping up just fine imo. Of course youโre confused sometimes but Iโd say so far most of the times itโs intended like that and you will always get answers later but itโs funny whenever youโre wondering whether youโre supposed to be confused or whether you missed something haha. I donโt think thereโs been anything that you missed really, other than that the thing he gave her (Bluetooth connection as you call it ๐) is the fox bead. But of course if you did miss something weโll be able to help right away, canโt wait for you to see more episodes <3 Now David when it comes to Pretty Little Liars, I'd be down to watch with you but you should seriously consider whether you'd actually be willing to stick to the show beforehand lol it's very long and eventful. I watched the whole thing and it's definitely enjoyable but also keep in mind it's one of those "teenage girl" shows haha

2023-09-16 10:34:41 +0000 UTCFirstly, David were you team Stefan? Cuz so was I. It's not that I disliked Delena but I preferred Stelena haha. I like how you mentioned TVD. It makes me nostalgic cuz I was such a sucker for TVD back in high school. Have you watched it all David? Have you watched it too Kevin? --- Secondly, watching this second episode I feel I have changed a lot over the last 2-3 years lol. Because I started watching this show in 2021 and stopped after some 4-5 episodes lol. And this year I really wanted to watch season 2 but couldn't start since I didn't watch S1 but couldn't go back to it lol. Hence I was glad you guys started it because finally, I could finish it with you guys. But now suddenly I feel so hooked and want to go ahead and watch the rest of the episodes by myself. Also, I have forgotten 80% of whatever happened in those 4-5 eps I watched so it's almost as though I am watching it for the first time hehe. --- Also, guys that circular ball thing Dongwook put into the girl is called a fox bead/marble. Usually, Gumihos have it. --- Also, I just looked it up and it seems bi-weekly can mean both once in 2 weeks and twice a week!!! Like whaaat? I just knew about once in 2 weeks because I had meetings that happen every 2 weeks and they were called Bi-weekly meetings. But apparently both workkkk?

2023-09-15 16:48:13 +0000 UTCYes!!!๐ I have a weak spot for traditional korean music. It sounds so beautiful and even if I canโt understand the lyrics I can feel the emotion. So the music in the beginning of the episode was wonderful! โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ The thing that Lee Yeon passed on to Ah-eum is called a fox bead. Non of the lookalikes that he met through out time bore the fox bead, they were just people with the same face. Itโs doesnโt work like a tracker itโs just that he searches for people that look like Ah-eum and then checks if they have the bead or not. This is the glowy hand thing he did in the first episode to the younger Ji-ah and in this episode as well. In the lore a fox bead is a small bead containing energy and knowledge and a Gumiho can transfer it through a deep kiss. They do this to absorb the humanโs energy and soul thus taking their life (I donโt think that was the purpose in this drama tho). BUT if the human ends up swallowing the bead, on accident or on purpose, before the gumiho removes it they are granted great knowledge, by observing the sky, land and people (the knowledge they get depends on what they observe). In most stories those who end up swallowing the bead forgets to observe the sky. Some sources also states that the human gains power from the bead but it doesnโt really specify what the power entails. I also read somewhere that if the fox bead is swallowed by a human the fox ends up dying but I'm not sure if this varies between the different versions. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Hearing that the Bulgasari feeds on nightmares explains why he wanted to buy her dream in the elevator. But he only said it after Ji-ah mentioned that dreaming about loosing you teeth could also mean fortune (I interpret it as good luck and not wealth) and not just a bad omen. He told the lie about wanting to buy a lottery ticket (good fortune = winning the lottery) cause otherwise it would sound pretty weird if someone wanted to buy your nightmare. Fun Fact: Buying and selling dreams is actually a thing (I think mostly in Korea) and those that do, believe that good dreams bring good energy and that the energy is transferred to the buyer with the transaction. The actor that played the Bulgasari (the creature that feeds on nightmares and ate the coins) is Son Woohyun, the guy mentioned in last episodeโs comments. Didnโt seem like you remembered his face but thatโs understandable since youโve only seen him once (the game caterers). Itโs weird seeing him and Kim Kang-min (the female leadโs coworker) on screen together again after watching To My star๐ Their kissing scenes are ๐ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ The brothers relationship is very complex so what we found out this episode is just an simplified explanation as to what happened between them, the tip of the iceberg if you will. We will dive deeper as the episodes go on and youโll understand how they ended up here. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Lee Dong-wookโs acting is so good and this character is so funny at times. Itโs pretty obvious that he has lived for many centuries and has no more fucks to give๐ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ HERE WE GOOO!!! Itโs gonna be a wild ride from here on out. There is so much I want to say but canโt๐ I feel like I say this every time you start a new drama but buckle up! Canโt wait until next week๐
