Hello Ilwoolies!  Yesterday I forgot to check the weather and because it had been a bit on the colder side (40’s F) I dressed up with tights, turtle neck, light sweater and medium range coat.  When I went out it was so warm!!!  Imagine that the temperature made it almost to 70’s!  Fortunately I had brought a pair of socks and was able to take off my tights…  I still had to carry my coat around!  I walked by the Charles River again, but all the leaves were gone… it made me feel a bit sad…

Something else that made me sad was this episode of High Kick. I was so glad when I saw they had highlighted in during the documentary of High Kick!  It is episode 104.  Like I said in my post from 2017, for me it is when we get to see the depth of the love of Yoon-ho for Min-jung, all his angst.  I call it the “Paint Ball Episode.”  SO of course I had to translate it!  Here is the clip:

Jung Il woo’s face when he gets “shot” by the love of his life is so… no words can describe the depth of the pain in his eyes… it goes straight to one’s heart!  Oh!

Here is the translation:

‘As there were more viewers interested in the drama, the relationship between three people got more important. People who liked MinYong and Minjung together,  and people who supported Yunho’s love to Minjung made two big fandoms.

0:17 in this scene, they are basically having a proxy war for their fandoms.

0:33

Ilwoo: you are out!

Min-jung: you are so heartless.

0:39

Min-jung : hey!

‘Fans were so shocked when they saw Min-jung shooting Y00n-ho while smiling.’

0:53

Min-jung: yes! It’s perfectly on target! You are dead, right? I caught you! Hey! Min-yung, I caught Yoon-ho!

1:03

‘There was so much interesting story going on which can be compatible with most other dramas.(considering its a sitcom)’

1:10

Min-jung: Yoon-ho did a really good job with his heartbroken facial expression. I got really a lot of horrible comments after that, saying “how can you hurt Y00n-ho’s heart like that?” “I will never see You again!”

1:29

‘As they were more like in a war between two fandoms, the crew also had to make sure that they get equal amount of screen time and dialogue.  ‘

1:43

‘then how did Sunjae’s family feel who saw all these very closely?”

1:50

Park Gyeong Rim (MC) : there were so many people back then who will be with Min-jung: Yoon-ho? Or Min-yong?

1:58

MC: May I ask you? They were a son and a grandson. Which ‘line’ did you support between the two?

2:04

Moon-hee: I vote for Min-yong

Jun-ha: because he’s her son.

MC: what about you, Sun-jae?

2:14:

Sunjae: me too, the son. (Min-yong)

2:18:

Haemi: of course, min-jung and yoon-ho can’t be together! (as mom )

2:23:

Haemi: as a mom’s point of view, (teacher and student is a no-no)

2:26

MC: everyone is voting for that side. What about you, dad?

2:28:

Jun-ha: of course, me too. He is my son. My son with a teacher? That’s a bit… so, I am also for Min-yong.

2:38:

Moon-hee: Min-jung and Yoon-ho looked good together though.

Mc: they were so cute together.

2:41

MC: What about the two of you? Have different thoughts?

Hyesung: I am with Ilwoo. It’s because when I think about my old times, many children like their teachers. For that pure reason, I supported Yooho more than Min-yong.

2:58

Jun-ha: You also had those dreams. (dating with a teacher)

Hyesung: well… hahaha

3:02

Haemi: I think Ilwoo’s idea might not be the same.

Ilwoo: Well, I think I would be the same. It was my first love, so it did not come true.

3:12

Ilwoo: And back then, we did not know what’s going to be in the last episode at all. The script for the last episode was available only to a handful of people so almost no one knew what’s going to be like in the end. I remember almost right before the shooting, they gave me the scripts.

‘The crew decided how the love line’s finale will be like just a day before the last shooting ’

WITAT (What I Think About This! ^ ^)

Isn’t that amazing!  Ilwoo basically found out about the end of the drama at the end!  How cool is that?  I think it helped him greatly as an actor to maintain that line of doubt!  Incredible!

I already expressed my side in Instagram… I chose the Yoon-ho/Min-jung couple as the show went on… like I said, I felt he treated her the best.  And to me actions speak so much more than words.  People can say many things, but it is in their actions that we see who they really are.

Here is the whole episode in Korean:

Have a great day/night!
