I'm glad to see there's a lot of smart ladies out there who see the "proof of love" for what it really is This is thousands of times worse!

I could understand if this was a plot point in a dark melodrama, which tend to portray real emotional and physical consequences, but this was supposed to be a wacky comedy! What are they thinking? Romantic comedy heroes don't do these things -- it isn't compelling, it's just gross and creepy, and now I don't like the character.
I'm just going to squeeze my eyes shut for the rest of this show and wait for the next series. One of the benefits of one-season series, I guess. If MW had sex because she was all hot and bothered: I would shout "hoorray! Show has turned from wacky crazy fun to aggressive macho downer.
It's like a really bad date gone wrong. So many possibilities, so many errors. GF, your comments at the end were totally spot on! This is as twisted as Que Sera Sera was, only this is way worse because it's supposed to be a wacky romcom, not melo like QSS was.

I hope whatever Eric does next is better written. I just hope whatever Eric does next I mean he's great at it Oh, WE all know what scene I'm talking about: I mean, she literally apologized on her hands and knees once she got back to the set: I dont think the crew would have taken her back otherwise from the tone of their statements. I don't think that sex scene was done on purpose to humiliate HYS- it's just part of the narrative- and a poorly written one at that.
It only goes to show that Eric is a good actor he can portray any role even if it's as a bastard or whatever. He may not have that superdrama actor caliber like others but he's going there. I don't think it has something to do with his character as a person so please don't think too much.
Just think of him as KW now in his drama. His real life is totally different. But other than that, i thought his roles were adorable. He was very funny. Not a scene with violence against women. That's just Eric playing the role well. I've been following Eric's career for about 8 yrs now,his real-life persona is so far away from those characters. Which probably contributes a lot to his ability to bringing to life those kind of characters,because it is PURELY acting and throwing yourself into being somebody else that you're just completely not.
We're sorry we had to press the pause button, but you are using an unsupported browser.
KW the character is really something,but I hope you won't let those sentiments you have for the character mars Eric in your eyes. Well,watching Super Rookie can be a good de-sensitizing therapy lol. You'd be surprised at what a likeable,adorkable dude he was in that one. When, in any situation, is it not messed up when a man tells a woman, "Hey, if you really love me, you're gonna have to have sex with me to prove it. And when I'm referring to fan idiocy I mean to mix up the character and the actor and the script writers together in terms of responsibility all the time.
I love BSG as much as the next chick, but I still think the whole Starbuck-Destiny plot line was stupid and pointless and a waste of the viewers time. Did that stop me from going to a Bear McCreary concert? What we know is that there were reports that Han Ye Sul felt ostracized and singled out by the production -- the episode in which she went AWOL allows for the viewers to see why she got that funny little idea in her head. And this episode is no better. The ethics behind the scene was messed up. Am I demanding for a protest? It was stupid and frakked up. Is the entire episode geared towards punishing Han Ye Sul?
Korean productions are so incredibly messy, sloppy, harried I should know! Koreans are really bad!! Anyway, at the end of the day, if I see something that my gut tells me is messed up, I'd rather be accused of looking too much into it than to not have looked into it at all. Aliiiice, I think your opinion is sound. Your theory is one of many possibilities. I don't know what is going on with the production team of this series but something is amiss.
I did feel some post of the Members of the Congregation of Eric were a bit eery. We do not know the real personalities of these actors and actresses - all we do is project what we want to see. What I know is: I don't care for despicable fictional jerks intimidating women on my tv screen. Girl I am a Guy and I do see things the same way you do!!!!! I think the rape scene was beyond fucked up, Why go that way? There was no need to go that route even just for shock value, or to increase ratings, I do hope that is just all coincidental, other wise the writer and PD totally screw this one up royally!!!!!!
Really, sometimes it's hard to separate the shadow side of fan-love from a valid comment. And you know what? It shouldn't matter if you're a guy or not, but it actually gives me some hope to hear that you are and that you thought this was messed up. I've had friends and have been in similar situations so perhaps I am projecting and just remember just feeling so resentful and angry towards the guys who just didn't think they did anything wrong, alcohol or not.
Also, feeling a little debased or ashamed to have invited a messed up situation to happen. It really isn't a fair or right situation when someone has power over you, knows it, and uses it to either humiliate you or get what they so desperately want and can't get when they're on even and equal playing fields. I stopped watching QSS after the Big Scene I was stunned, to be exact, to have watched such realistic violent scene, then aghast that it was forgiven It's not logical that he agreed to a similar scene again, I don't suppose he doesn't know the kind of reactions the Big Scene has produced.
Also, i do not know what happened btwn KW and MW, but it seems like there is a hurry in the plot line and it seems to have leaped a little faster than before episodes. The other thing i like is, the action has slightly improved as the spectrum of emotions seem to be little wider for all the characters. I completely bow down to you for what you do out of your own time, out of your own love of kdrama and nothing else, to help us other poor saps who do not understand the language.
I love how you ended this recap with "go stand in the corner til Monday. But I think the PDs didn't want it to be dark notice the music in the background or wanted to cause anger. I think they wanted us to understand the extent of desperation and anxiety of a man who loves so much that he's completely terrified of losing her, and another who is torn between her duty to her country and her faith towards her love. I see that scene with a lot of love and sadness.

As for the morning after. She's offered all of herself to him, and he's apologised which she heard , perhaps that's why they're happy. MW may be motivated by love of country, but I think that the greater incentive is her fear of the ramifications of not following orders. She and her comrades have been threatened with execution and the destruction of their families in NK if she's fails in her mission.
The whole time I was like, "Why is Tae-joo comin' out of Kang-woo? I can worry about Kang Woo and Myung-wol blowing each other's brains out, or both Kang Woo and Myung-wol blowing Myung-wol's brain out. The feel of episode 12 and from your recap 13 seems very different than before and I can't help thinking that the backstage contretemps might have contributed to that.
I feel bad for the actor playing Ryu. After the report of his interview that went poorly, I noticed that he seems to be acting alone, literally.

There are so many scene then he is by himself accompanied by a voice over--I don't know why but I feel bad for the actor specifically, not the character per se. Lee Dong Wook does seems like he's acting all alone LDW in real life is such a quirk I think you just didn't realize you were using a wrong name.. As of this episode, I am firmly convinced that this script is suffering from Bi-Polar Disease - either that, or the writing staff has been on one, long binge since HYS flew the coop for lala land.
I'm all for inventive story lines - as long as they make some kind of sense for the evolution of the characters and push the plot forward. Eric's character needs a big horse pill of mood relaxer. Maybe it'd help his mood swings and keep his libido in check.
