The writing of female characters in Kdramas has gotten soooo much better over the literal *years* I’ve been watching kdramas. Strong female side-characters who lift each other up instead of being crazy, jealous love rivals, compelling, sympathetic female villains who also have realistic motives, a female main character who works to solve her own problems instead of waiting for the male lead to solve them for her, etc. This drama’s female characters and cast is phenomenal and and I know I’m going to be so sad when the drama ends.
I looked it up and was surprised to find the writer for this series is male. Moon Ji-won. This is his first series. Before this had one movie credit, Innocent Witness (2019), which also involves autism.
@@mikeduplessis8069 innocent witness is such a good movie! I had the pleasure of meeting and having an autotroph from the main male character after the movie premiere. Amazing dude
True. It has gotten better! Before it was the damsel in distress, clumsy, cutesy, clueless female characters that dominated most of the kdramas back in the day but these days it's gotten so much better.
The last scene, the mother-daughter scene, was masterfully written, unbelievably compassionate and dignified for both parties, for both points of view. And fully agree that Park Eunbin is an incomparable actress.
The 2 most memorable scenes must be when she told her friend su-yeon that she was a spring sunlight + when young woo told su-me that the moment under the tree was nice, and that she wanted to meet her just once. So it was nice meeting you.
The Hackberry Tree is often found on the border between river/sea and the land, though it's difficult for the sea and the land to meet, Hackberry grows on the border between them. Woo Young Woo = Hanbada "Bada" means sea 🌊 Tae Sumi = Taesan "San" means mountain ⛰ Since sea and land can't meet each other, hackberry is the only place they could meet. Young Woo as the whale in the sea (Hanbada) is actually difficult to met her mom who is in the land (Taesan) but they met in the Hackberry tree that lives on the border between those two different places. 🐳⛰🌳
The actress that played Young Woo has been incredible, but I think we should not overlook the actress that played her Mom. When she played her courtroom scenes, she played with such confidence with a bit of regal arrogance that you just knows she is the top dog inside that courtroom. Her presence was felt the moment she walked in. Of the course that last scene with the daughter, she had very little dialogue and yet with just her facial expression, she speaks volumes. Amazing performances by both actresses. I think with that one scene alone, both of them deserve to be nominated for the Emmy.
Interesting but NoT important information : even though the age difference between both actress is over 20 years, the acting career(I mean the time for acting, not level) of both actress is similar because Eun-bin had acted since 1996 :)
Soo Yeon is quickly becoming my favorite character in EAW. It's easy(er) for people without skin in the game like Jung Myung-seok or Dong Geu-ra-mi to love Young Woo, but Soo Yeon is basically in direct competition with Young Woo yet she still stand up for her instead of going down Kwon's path.
There's also how she's been putting so much effort into being Young-woo's friend through all those years at university, not to mention standing up to Young-woo's bullies back then as well, despite finding the whale talk boring and exhausting not to mention feeling slightly inferior due to Young-woo doing so much better than her. She doesn't feel emotionally compelled to being there for Young-woo like her dad or Jun-ho. She simply chose to without a special reason and I think that makes her quite special.
@@zuriyel5368, You explained it beautifully! Soo Yeon has a solid moral compass apart from being empathetic. She hated seeing Woo Young being treated badly so she did something about it, for example confronting the bullies and making an effort to get to know Woo Young during their college days and even now in present time. When she saw Woo Young again, I think she tried to be indifferent towards her because Woo Young was her new competition and she knew how bright Woo Young was. That didn't last long though since she could not help herself but help her and sympathise with her. One of the main turning points of their friendship was when Woo Young told her she was "spring sunshine Soo Yeon", I don't think Soo Yeon was aware of the impact she had made on Woo Young life. Honestly, I could write a whole blog about Soo Yeon, I have nothing but good things to say about this character. She won the hearts of the viewers that's why most of us don't like the idea of her and Min Woo, we want to protect her like we protect our friends lol
Park Eunbin is really good with silent crying. Everyone, like the whole nation of Korea, was tuning on this show that the clip of the confrontation was doing numbers on Korean platforms. Jing Kyung (Tae Sumi) along with the main characters of the show started trending as well when this episode aired. Well deserved for the amazing performance🎉
The last conversation between the young woo and the mother was really a great scene. For nearly a 1minute, she expressed her feelings without any conversation and her performance stood out.👏
Fact: CEO of Hanbada scouts Young-Woo. in order to be a nepotism, Young-Woo' father must first ask CEO of Hanbada to hire Young-Woo a job. but in this case, CEO came to see Young-Woo's father first and told him that she is going to hire Young-Woo, so it's scout.
The appearance of favoritism and/or special selection based on close relationships is generally frown upon, but it happens. However, Hanbada CEO wanted to hire Young Woo without her father asking first, then it's reasonable enough to dispute claim of Nepotism. Schemer Kwon would have done it.
plus she's in no way UNQUALIFIED for the position, and that's what's most important. it's only considered an unfair or immoral advantage if someone undeserving is awarded a position in place of someone(s) deserving. in every hiring scenario the decision is made with some personal preference and bias at play because it's literally impossible for human beings to be totally objective; who we are (and by extension what we think and what we do) is shaped by our experiences as they're specific to us alone. so no matter who was hired, they'd have been hired because they qualified for the position and were chosen for it because the person hiring liked them best for any number of reasons. that's exactly what happened to Young Woo and there's nothing untoward or scandalous about her appointment.
No, he went to her. He promised Young-woo’s mother Tae Sou-mi that he was going to disappear, and that is what he did. Until his daughter could not even get an interview after finishing at the top of her class in the country's most prestigious law school. That is when he broke his promise and contacted his very successful former classmate Han Soon-young about giving his daughter a chance at Hanbada. Before that she did not know where he was, what he was doing, or if he and Sou-mi ever actually had a child.
Another fantastic reaction. Park Eun-bin is known as one of Korea's best actresses. In fact the writer and director offered her this role and she turned it down to do The King's Affection so they waited for that show to wrap and offered her the role again.
Notice how both of Young-woo's female friends are similar. Geu-rami and Seoyon are both strong aggressive women who don't take any _____ from anyone. She needs friends like that.
"So much was said without being said" - yep. And you two definitely need to watch My Mister for full appreciation of acting without speaking, amazing show and so many similar scenes to this.
Park Eun-Bin had rejected this drama for a year to prepare herself to act an Autistic person. She didn't use reference with videos, but used references of the related professors. The director waited for her because he thought she was the one for Young-Woo. Attorney Kwon has a nickname 권모술수 권민우 (meaning he's a trickery person.) Kwon Min Woo. Episode 9 had shown the problem of Korean Hakwons (after school academy) with children.. You might have to prepare yourselves..
I feel bad for English sub readers because that nickname definitely makes Kwon seem shady and why he was so offended. When I read "tactician Kwon", I was like, ".. and?" "That's bad?" I also like the use of the almost-homonyms "Kwon mo" "Kwon min"
Like when young woo's father was confronting her about "using" his daughter, I JUST can't tell if that was in her mind all along or she was putting on a show. She is such a good actor!!
I’m now hooked on this show , each time I watch it I Appreciate the marvelous writing and superb acting. It’s by far the best I’ve seen this year in films and tv overall. But, I must give kudos to Syntell n Anchara because their commentary and reviews are spot on. Syntell picks up on many subtleties on the writing and direction of the show which shows his experience. And I simply adore Anchara’s emotive reactions as if she’s got extra emotive sensors, she feels what I feel. And her comments are authentic and very articulate. In fact they have a quite chemistry and balance, I wish to see more of them together on more shows. =)
This episode has great scenes showing off incredible actings skills, great writing and beautifully captured scenes. All those components make this drama outstanding! I’m really curious about young woo’s mom’s son. He has been mentioned a few times and it feels like another bomb might be dropping… 😬.
@Gina Pino, it’s better if that bomb doesn’t drop as that would be considered incest. Jun Ho and Young Woo won’t be able to date anymore let alone be with each other.
@@no-distraction nope. Junho is much older than Woo Young Woo, 2 years older to be exact. Which means they are not siblings. Remember Woo Young Woo was the first child of Tae Sumi 😊😊😊.
I absolutely loved the scene between lawyer Woo and her mother, it was an extraordinarily emotional, dramatic, and moving scene. One of those scenes that shows us in all its splendor the beauty and depth of human feelings. I agree with you guys, the work of the actresses was so wonderful and excellent that it would deserve all the awards for actors. The way in which the actress who plays the mother expressed with the gestures on her face the storm of emotions that she must have felt at that moment, the heartbreaking pain that she felt, deeply moved me and made me feel great respect for the actress, especially by the gradual way in which the expression on her face changed, showing more and more emotion. And I agree that the work of the actress who plays Woo was also very hard and demanding, having to express deep and painful feelings being autistic, and when her eyes filled with tears she was sublime. Now history has an interesting path before it. Woo's mother must hide her secret as she faces the confirmation process as Minister of Justice. As far as I know, the confirmation process for a Government Minister in South Korea is similar to the confirmation process for a Cabinet Secretary in the United States. Just like in the US, a candidate for Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense or any other Cabinet post must go to hearings before a Senate Committee, endure many questions and heavy scrutiny, and then be confirmed by a majority vote of senators, similarly, a candidate for Minister in South Korea must go to hearings before a National Assembly Committee, and after heavy scrutiny must be confirmed in a vote by a majority of assembly members. And you have to remember that Woo's mother already lied to the Blue House official (the Blue House in South Korea is like the White House in the US), and the lie could blow up in her face during the hearings in the Committee of the National Assembly. If an opposition assemblyman discovers the lie, he/she could use it to attack the Administration. The political intrigue component could be very interesting and cause problems for Woo and her mother.
If she really wanted to reconnect with her daughter, she had to withdraw her name from the ministerial post that she's trying to acquire. She has to come clean and announce to the world that she had a child out of wedlock. There's no way you can keep that thing a secret anyway if you are in the public eye.
@@mannym6431 You have a point, but we don't know what will be more important to Woo's mother. The position of Minister of Justice seems to be the highest point of her professional career, the end of her career before her retirement, unless she aspired to the only two positions that could be higher, which would be that of Prime Minister (which in South Korea is more like a mixture of US Vice President and White House Chief of Staff) and, of course, the President of South Korea. But it doesn't seem like that was the case, but still giving up the nomination for the job because of having an illegitimate child and hiding it would be a shameful end to her successful career. I think what could happen is that she is forced to reveal the truth in public, because her secret has already been discovered by her enemies, by people who want to blackmail her or by the media. Then she would have to admit it to the public, doing damage control. In any case the scandal would be inevitable.
I personally also really like the political intrigue around lawyer Woo's mother, and the secret of their mother-daughter relationship, in the face of the mother's nomination as Minister of Justice. In South Korea, the Minister of Justice is partially like the United States Attorney General, he/she is a member of the Cabinet of the South Korean Government, and he/she is like a Secretary of Justice. What happens is that in South Korea, the role of the Attorney General is divided into two different posts, that of the Minister of Justice, which is part of the Cabinet, and that of the Prosecutor General (who is under the supervision of the Minister of Justice). The Minister of Justice is nominated by the President of South Korea and must be ratified by the National Assembly (which is like the US Congress). That is why Woo's mother is exposed to a scandal during the confirmation process in the National Assembly.
11:35 kwon innitially was understandable getting upset at what he thought was nepotism because he only had part of the information. but after Soo Yeon rightfully and publically pointed out that with youngwoos grades she should have been getting offers from mutlitple law firms trying to recruit her. yet she didnt because of ableist discrimination. with youngwoos having the best grades she was technically entitled to a spot more than the rest of them. even if she had to use a favor from her father to get it (which isnt even what happened) it would only have righted what already should have happened. the fact that Kwon here is doubling down on his point and still claiming nepotism just shows that he doesnt actually care about right or wrong. instead hes threatened by youngwoo because shes smarter than him, and instead of trying to compete with her fairly to renew his contract hes trying to cheat. he could have picked ANY of the other rookie lawyers to compete against that were easier to beat. but instead hes focusing on the one with autism. he claims hes not being prejudice but it certainly seems so.
When I first saw this episode, the moment Young-woo fell down the steps meant a lot to me. Her dad stopped her on the small stairway landing and told her something so big that she lost her footing on the step down. It's like she forgot to pay attention to her surroundings because she was so overwhelmed, and that's something I really relate to. Dyspraxia really does make you more prone to accidents, especially when most spaces aren't designed to be accommodating. Personally I've had several injuries where being autistic was probably a contributing factor, and I think it's a very overlooked part of the spectrum.
FYI. That particular Hackberry tree is now actually being reviewed as a natural monument a few days after this episode was aired. Considering its age, size, and condition, it looks like there’s s good chance.
If you have the occasion to watch other Park Eun Bin dramas, you ll see how talented she is. That woman is truly a cameleon, even her voice is different depending on the character she is portraying, she is one of my favorite actresses tbh 💙 Plus she is such a sweet and respectful human being. The rest of the cast is great too, what an amazing talented team 🐳
Park Eun Bin, AKA Woo Young Woo, has been acting for 27 years since she was 5 years old. She’s experienced and super talented. Kang Tae Oh, AKA Lee Jun Ho, is an ex-KPop idol and he’s talented as well. The cast is amazing, right?
Ep.9 is related to 어린이날(Childrens's Day) in Korea, May 5th. Bang Gu-ppong's last name is the same as Bang Jeong-hwan, who insisted on the liberation of children and announced Declaration on the Rights of the Child during the Japanese Occupation Period. Mr. Bang's birthday is same as Children's Day. Mr. Bang's job, Commander-in-Chief for the Liberation of Children is also related to Bang Jeong-hwan. And declaration on the liberation of children in this Drama is similar to Declaration on the Rights of the Child, 1923. It was ahead of Geneva Declaration on the Rights of Children, 1924. +"어린이(Eo-rin-i)" is a unique Korean word which means similar to child, but it sounds different. 어린(Eo-rin) means young, and 이(i)(sounds like alphabet E) means person or human. Bang Jeong-hwan was sad that child is not recognized as a person like adult in those time. So he made a word 어린이, and he wanted children to be respected as a person.
that's awesome! I love the next episode and it actually made me cry. I just came back from teaching in China for the past 6 years and a lot of the kids reminded me of my students. I can't wait to see their reaction. thanks for the info!
This show is just great writing after great writing, they deserve all the awards. Young woo father is such a great actor props to him, he pulls at our heartstrings
Keep 'em coming, PLEASE! I need these reaction videos to tide me over until the next Netflix episode comes out. I find myself playing back scenes just to focus on the acting of these amazing actors without having to look at the subtitles.
@@shiobanaharuno8062 oh because on netflix france its late. its not up yet for me. episode 9 will be up on netflix france the day episode 13 will drop. also dont worry 2 days are left for the episode 13 to drop
Silent lurker here finally leaving a comment! Thank you for watching this fantastic drama! And seems like you are marathoning this show 🥹🥹. Love love your reactions!
Jin Kyeong (Tae Soo mi) is one of S Korea's most accomplished (and loved❤) actresses. As with so many of the actors in this drama, we are being treated to a real feast of some of the best S Korea drama has to offer. The writers, producers of this have excelled. TO them ALL a BIG thankyou. 👍
I really love this drama. A lot of other dramas are filled with gaslighting and just straight up avoidance of important topics. While this for example the father and daughter are very forward to each other. He did hide a big secret from her but the he told her right away when the moment came up.
You must watch "it's okay to be not okay" this kdrama is a healing drama that talks about mental health. the story is about a guy who works in a mental health hospital his life is all about taking care of his autistic older brother (he doesn't have any Joy or excitement) and that 'stong' woman who writes kids Storys (the storys are really interesting and deep) she act strong but she's actually lonely( Her clothes through out the drama are BEAUTIFUL they were actually made for here character) , it focus on how they effect each other lives.... and there's a dark murder case. I really enjoy watching your reactions and i hope you will react to more kdrama in the future ❤️
Park Eun-Bin has been killing it as Woo Young Woo for sure! I'm so excited for your reaction to the next episode, it's one of my favorites of the season (bring tissues!) ❤
I am just so excited for you guys to see what is going to happen next. I have already seen till 12 and man o man there are some juicy stuff coming along.
I'm gonna guess that young Tae Sumi's initial decision to terminate her pregnancy was in part because she was young and scared, but also under heavy pressure from her rich parents. (Oops you guys do go on to mention this .. I started typing right after the ep ended) Also let's be aware the flashback is from the pov of WYW's dad, who describes Sumi as young rich girl who wanted to go back to that life and not one with a poor farmer's son (making her seem spoiled and unsympathizable). But is he being an accurate narrator? His emotional pain could make him make sense of his girlfriend's decision as such, but it may be more complicated once we learn her side of the story. This is a stretch, but it could be that Sumi even fought attempts to separate the newborn from her arms when the family maid was ultimately handed the newborn and tasked with delivering her to Gwang Ho. Alternatively, she was always a coldly rational person that she'd go on to be in her 50s, thinking politically/pragmatically rather than emotionally/romantically.
Regarding Junho’s running after Park Yu Jin, remember that he always still look back for Young Woo, that’s his character, he made sure that YW is okay before he chase that man, although I feel that the chasing part is someone what related to the budding romance between him and Young Woo, he likes her but YW beats him by confessing first, plus the timing is not good because they are both on duty 😅. By the way there is a delete scene in Episode 8, it’s about the relationships between Tae Sumi and CEO Han, I don’t know if I will mention it here but you can search on your own, there is a reason why they are competing to each other
Well since it’s a deleted scene, it’s not really a spoiler. Tae Sumi’s current husband used to be Han’s boyfriend whom she stole from Han. I don’t know if we should still consider that part of the storyline since it’s been deleted. But that’s apparently what happened.
This is such an awesome show and the acting is so on point. Just want to point out one thing that was said when WYW states how her mother didn't even recognized. Of course you wouldn't expect Mom to recognize her from a baby, since babies change so much. I think the point WYW was making and confirming to herself and her mom was that this would never looked for her, never followed her life even from afar. Her mother walked away from her and her father completely. Like her father said, he kept his promise and left law school, did not take any law related jobs and never reached out to her, and she respected her father, but her mother did nothing and she could have. How devastating for WYW to find out this powerful woman made no effort to find out what became of the child she gave up. Loving your reactions and insight!!!!!!
Park Eun Bin refused this drama cuz she was afraid of offending autistic children and theire family and was busy for other drama. But the writer and the director waiting for her a year till she said ok. I think that was great decision.
Hey, I love you guys enjoying this series🥰 Did you guys know the name of two lawfirms, Taesan and Hanbada, are kind of metaphors. San means Mountain and bada means ocean in Korean! I'm not sure how the story will go on but I hope hanbada can be the ocean for her as Youngwoo loves whales so much!

@@BooomJooon0109 WE ARE AWARE THAT'S WHY WE CALL THAT AS OUR FAV EP SO FAR. BECAUSE SOMEONE ATLEAST MADE AN EFFORT TO FREE TGE CHILDREN FROM STRESS AND PRESSURE, ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO HAPPEN IN REALITY.
WOO TO THE YOUNG TO THE WOO 🙌🙌 The dad was so responsible for his child 🥺 It really shows the difference between high and low society But I laughed when the father was telling the story but Attorney Woo have a bright idea HAHAHA Sad to Funny real quick 😂😂
The actress playing Tae sumi has a very similar role in the kdrama pinnochio..... There also she is a very successful, bold reporter who left his husband and daughter during childhood but she is not a bad woman by heart completely
The artists in this drama are all great at their crafts. Everyone♡ Yes, even Atty Kwon who sometimes I just wanna spit a good amount of curses to. I wanted to symphatize with Atty. Tae Su Mi. I really thought I would no matter what. Her scene with Young Woo at the end was so heart-wrenching... But maybe I just can't move from how she conveniently forgot she had a daughter? She didn't even knew her name or at least a thing about her. It makes me so sad for Young Woo and (even more for) her father, that when she asked " do you resent me?", I was like "why would she not when you actually abandoned her?" I wish that on the next eps, they'll be flashbacks of Tae Su Mi showing that she at some point looked for Young Woo and her father. Or tried her best. And that she did long for her too. I'm very excited for the next ep especially to hear Achara's views as she just said today how she leans more on idealistic things. I do too so the next case was personally conflicting to me.
We don't know what the reason is though. For example, the parents could have had the doctors tell young TSM that her child died while they were delivering her. That would certainly be a way to prevent her from being distracted in the future, thinking about how her child is doing or trying to find Gang-ho and Young-woo to see for herself how they're doing. Not saying this is the case, just a possibility. I just find it very unlikely that a heartwarming show like this would not leave an out for the main character's mom. That and the tendency for the show to some some sort of twist later on whenever it tells a story.
Will forever push the react to "The King's Affection" agenda because Park Eun Bin's acting there is spectacular and needs to be appreciated more. I will always look forward to your reactions because of how you really try to understand the story and how well you interpret the drama. Excited for your next reaction!
I am thoroughly enjoying your colab together watching this great kdrama - am looking forward to your reactions with each episode. I have been watching kdramas since beginning of 2020 and there are so many fantastic ones to watch, it's difficult to choose the next one for you to react to - may I suggest The Fiery Priest. It has it all - humour (I am English 😉), pathos, slapstick, cracking story. (Any of the following are top notch of the ones I have watched so far 😊: Goblin, My Mister, Hospital Playlist, Prison Playlist, The King Eternal Monarch, Crash Landing on You...etc etc. Also the film Train to Busan!). 👏👏

Yeah, sadly the mother is a piece of sht in the end
Tae Su-Mi's acting was really nice when she heard Woo is her child. Without a single line, I could feel her feelings.
True!!
Especially her voice when she said "do you resent me for what I've done? "
She’s an amazing actress.
She has very similar role in the kdrama pinnochio
The 2 most memorable scenes must be when she told her friend su-yeon that she was a spring sunlight + when young woo told su-me that the moment under the tree was nice, and that she wanted to meet her just once. So it was nice meeting you.
I still have top moments for me in the coming episodes, don’t want to spoil it yet!

The Hackberry Tree is often found on the border between river/sea and the land, though it's difficult for the sea and the land to meet, Hackberry grows on the border between them.
Woo Young Woo = Hanbada
"Bada" means sea 🌊
Tae Sumi = Taesan
"San" means mountain ⛰
Since sea and land can't meet each other, hackberry is the only place they could meet.
Young Woo as the whale in the sea (Hanbada) is actually difficult to met her mom who is in the land (Taesan) but they met in the Hackberry tree that lives on the border between those two different places. 🐳⛰🌳
Love that deeper piece of insight, thanks for sharing

The actress who played WYW mother is actually a veteran and very good actress..we can see her in many hit kdramas🙂

Well deserved for the amazing performance🎉
I don't think that's for confrontation. It's more on straightforward revelation.
Just my honest opinion.

Fact: CEO of Hanbada scouts Young-Woo.
in order to be a nepotism, Young-Woo' father must first ask CEO of Hanbada to hire Young-Woo a job.
but in this case, CEO came to see Young-Woo's father first and told him that she is going to hire Young-Woo, so it's scout.
Now this is woo young woo level argument that would win!!
The appearance of favoritism and/or special selection based on close relationships is generally frown upon, but it happens. However, Hanbada CEO wanted to hire Young Woo without her father asking first, then it's reasonable enough to dispute claim of Nepotism. Schemer Kwon would have done it.
plus she's in no way UNQUALIFIED for the position, and that's what's most important. it's only considered an unfair or immoral advantage if someone undeserving is awarded a position in place of someone(s) deserving. in every hiring scenario the decision is made with some personal preference and bias at play because it's literally impossible for human beings to be totally objective; who we are (and by extension what we think and what we do) is shaped by our experiences as they're specific to us alone. so no matter who was hired, they'd have been hired because they qualified for the position and were chosen for it because the person hiring liked them best for any number of reasons. that's exactly what happened to Young Woo and there's nothing untoward or scandalous about her appointment.
Not only that but her father asked if she hired Young Woo because she was his daughter and the CEO said no!
No, he went to her. He promised Young-woo’s mother Tae Sou-mi that he was going to disappear, and that is what he did. Until his daughter could not even get an interview after finishing at the top of her class in the country's most prestigious law school. That is when he broke his promise and contacted his very successful former classmate Han Soon-young about giving his daughter a chance at Hanbada. Before that she did not know where he was, what he was doing, or if he and Sou-mi ever actually had a child.
Another fantastic reaction. Park Eun-bin is known as one of Korea's best actresses. In fact the writer and director offered her this role and she turned it down to do The King's Affection so they waited for that show to wrap and offered her the role again.
Notice how both of Young-woo's female friends are similar. Geu-rami and Seoyon are both strong aggressive women who don't take any _____ from anyone. She needs friends like that.
every episode makes me cry and at the same time touching my heart !! so good drama
"So much was said without being said" - yep. And you two definitely need to watch My Mister for full appreciation of acting without speaking, amazing show and so many similar scenes to this.
우연히 보다보니 계속 찾아오게되네요 지난회차 복습하듯 잘보고있습니다.
Park Eun-Bin had rejected this drama for a year to prepare herself to act an Autistic person. She didn't use reference with videos, but used references of the related professors. The director waited for her because he thought she was the one for Young-Woo.
Attorney Kwon has a nickname 권모술수 권민우 (meaning he's a trickery person.) Kwon Min Woo.
Episode 9 had shown the problem of Korean Hakwons (after school academy) with children.. You might have to prepare yourselves..
I feel bad for English sub readers because that nickname definitely makes Kwon seem shady and why he was so offended. When I read "tactician Kwon", I was like, ".. and?" "That's bad?" I also like the use of the almost-homonyms "Kwon mo" "Kwon min"
신텔과 아차라의 표정과 표현들은 상당히 멋집니다.
두 분의 팬이 되었습니다 ^^😍
The Hanbada CEO is straight ominous and I love her character, like if I'm talking to her face to face, I'm not sure if she's against me or what.
She's scary man. She's the type of person that will smile to your face whiles killing you.
Yeah, you just can't tell. Which I think shows how good an actress she is.
Like when young woo's father was confronting her about "using" his daughter, I JUST can't tell if that was in her mind all along or she was putting on a show. She is such a good actor!!
@@whoisdis8201 Exactly. I was thinking of that when I commented.

I've been looking forward to the reaction of episode 8!
오오 빠른 8화 리뷰 좋아요~~ㅎㅎㅎ/ 마지막 두 배우의 연기가 미친 수준.....이 8화의 관전 포인트
I’m now hooked on this show , each time I watch it I Appreciate the marvelous writing and superb acting. It’s by far the best I’ve seen this year in films and tv overall.
But, I must give kudos to Syntell n Anchara because their commentary and reviews are spot on. Syntell picks up on many subtleties on the writing and direction of the show which shows his experience. And I simply adore Anchara’s emotive reactions as if she’s got extra emotive sensors, she feels what I feel. And her comments are authentic and very articulate. In fact they have a quite chemistry and balance, I wish to see more of them together on more shows. =)
This episode has great scenes showing off incredible actings skills, great writing and beautifully captured scenes. All those components make this drama outstanding! I’m really curious about young woo’s mom’s son. He has been mentioned a few times and it feels like another bomb might be dropping… 😬.
the man falling in love with young woo?
@Gina Pino, it’s better if that bomb doesn’t drop as that would be considered incest. Jun Ho and Young Woo won’t be able to date anymore let alone be with each other.
@@no-distraction nope. Junho is much older than Woo Young Woo, 2 years older to be exact. Which means they are not siblings. Remember Woo Young Woo was the first child of Tae Sumi 😊😊😊.
@@anonymousfan13 thank goodness 😅
I absolutely loved the scene between lawyer Woo and her mother, it was an extraordinarily emotional, dramatic, and moving scene. One of those scenes that shows us in all its splendor the beauty and depth of human feelings. I agree with you guys, the work of the actresses was so wonderful and excellent that it would deserve all the awards for actors. The way in which the actress who plays the mother expressed with the gestures on her face the storm of emotions that she must have felt at that moment, the heartbreaking pain that she felt, deeply moved me and made me feel great respect for the actress, especially by the gradual way in which the expression on her face changed, showing more and more emotion. And I agree that the work of the actress who plays Woo was also very hard and demanding, having to express deep and painful feelings being autistic, and when her eyes filled with tears she was sublime.
Now history has an interesting path before it. Woo's mother must hide her secret as she faces the confirmation process as Minister of Justice. As far as I know, the confirmation process for a Government Minister in South Korea is similar to the confirmation process for a Cabinet Secretary in the United States. Just like in the US, a candidate for Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense or any other Cabinet post must go to hearings before a Senate Committee, endure many questions and heavy scrutiny, and then be confirmed by a majority vote of senators, similarly, a candidate for Minister in South Korea must go to hearings before a National Assembly Committee, and after heavy scrutiny must be confirmed in a vote by a majority of assembly members. And you have to remember that Woo's mother already lied to the Blue House official (the Blue House in South Korea is like the White House in the US), and the lie could blow up in her face during the hearings in the Committee of the National Assembly. If an opposition assemblyman discovers the lie, he/she could use it to attack the Administration. The political intrigue component could be very interesting and cause problems for Woo and her mother.
If she really wanted to reconnect with her daughter, she had to withdraw her name from the ministerial post that she's trying to acquire. She has to come clean and announce to the world that she had a child out of wedlock. There's no way you can keep that thing a secret anyway if you are in the public eye.
@@mannym6431 You have a point, but we don't know what will be more important to Woo's mother. The position of Minister of Justice seems to be the highest point of her professional career, the end of her career before her retirement, unless she aspired to the only two positions that could be higher, which would be that of Prime Minister (which in South Korea is more like a mixture of US Vice President and White House Chief of Staff) and, of course, the President of South Korea. But it doesn't seem like that was the case, but still giving up the nomination for the job because of having an illegitimate child and hiding it would be a shameful end to her successful career.
I think what could happen is that she is forced to reveal the truth in public, because her secret has already been discovered by her enemies, by people who want to blackmail her or by the media. Then she would have to admit it to the public, doing damage control. In any case the scandal would be inevitable.
I personally also really like the political intrigue around lawyer Woo's mother, and the secret of their mother-daughter relationship, in the face of the mother's nomination as Minister of Justice. In South Korea, the Minister of Justice is partially like the United States Attorney General, he/she is a member of the Cabinet of the South Korean Government, and he/she is like a Secretary of Justice. What happens is that in South Korea, the role of the Attorney General is divided into two different posts, that of the Minister of Justice, which is part of the Cabinet, and that of the Prosecutor General (who is under the supervision of the Minister of Justice). The Minister of Justice is nominated by the President of South Korea and must be ratified by the National Assembly (which is like the US Congress). That is why Woo's mother is exposed to a scandal during the confirmation process in the National Assembly.
oh my god, I started my day with ur ep7 reaction now Im ending my day with ur ep8 YES! ❤ love you both!
저두요
I'm looking forward to watching this reaction, Thanks!
11:35 kwon innitially was understandable getting upset at what he thought was nepotism because he only had part of the information. but after Soo Yeon rightfully and publically pointed out that with youngwoos grades she should have been getting offers from mutlitple law firms trying to recruit her. yet she didnt because of ableist discrimination. with youngwoos having the best grades she was technically entitled to a spot more than the rest of them. even if she had to use a favor from her father to get it (which isnt even what happened) it would only have righted what already should have happened.
the fact that Kwon here is doubling down on his point and still claiming nepotism just shows that he doesnt actually care about right or wrong. instead hes threatened by youngwoo because shes smarter than him, and instead of trying to compete with her fairly to renew his contract hes trying to cheat. he could have picked ANY of the other rookie lawyers to compete against that were easier to beat. but instead hes focusing on the one with autism. he claims hes not being prejudice but it certainly seems so.
played this episode more than 10 times already. especially the mom/daughter scene.
Park eun bin is one of my fav actresses i love her work
When I first saw this episode, the moment Young-woo fell down the steps meant a lot to me. Her dad stopped her on the small stairway landing and told her something so big that she lost her footing on the step down. It's like she forgot to pay attention to her surroundings because she was so overwhelmed, and that's something I really relate to. Dyspraxia really does make you more prone to accidents, especially when most spaces aren't designed to be accommodating. Personally I've had several injuries where being autistic was probably a contributing factor, and I think it's a very overlooked part of the spectrum.
드라마를 본후 두분의 후기를 보며 소통하는 기적을 보고있네요 감사합니다

FYI. That particular Hackberry tree is now actually being reviewed as a natural monument a few days after this episode was aired. Considering its age, size, and condition, it looks like there’s s good chance.
If you have the occasion to watch other Park Eun Bin dramas, you ll see how talented she is. That woman is truly a cameleon, even her voice is different depending on the character she is portraying, she is one of my favorite actresses tbh 💙 Plus she is such a sweet and respectful human being. The rest of the cast is great too, what an amazing talented team 🐳
Park Eun Bin, AKA Woo Young Woo, has been acting for 27 years since she was 5 years old. She’s experienced and super talented. Kang Tae Oh, AKA Lee Jun Ho, is an ex-KPop idol and he’s talented as well. The cast is amazing, right?
he never was an idol. he debuted as an actor and only did acting as his job.
Yeah ! I waited since wednesday for this reaction 😁
우와 바로 다음편 올라왔네요 !!! 감사합니다😄😁
Ep.9 is related to 어린이날(Childrens's Day) in Korea, May 5th.
Bang Gu-ppong's last name is the same as Bang Jeong-hwan,
who insisted on the liberation of children
and announced Declaration on the Rights of the Child
during the Japanese Occupation Period.
Mr. Bang's birthday is same as Children's Day.
Mr. Bang's job, Commander-in-Chief for the Liberation of Children is also related to Bang Jeong-hwan.
And declaration on the liberation of children in this Drama
is similar to Declaration on the Rights of the Child, 1923.
It was ahead of Geneva Declaration on the Rights of Children, 1924.
+"어린이(Eo-rin-i)" is a unique Korean word
which means similar to child, but it sounds different.
어린(Eo-rin) means young,
and 이(i)(sounds like alphabet E) means person or human.
Bang Jeong-hwan was sad that child is not recognized as a person like adult in those time.
So he made a word 어린이,
and he wanted children to be respected as a person.
It's my least interesting episode. They coasted on that.
@@denniszenanywhere But it's meaningful that they deal with the weak
that's awesome! I love the next episode and it actually made me cry. I just came back from teaching in China for the past 6 years and a lot of the kids reminded me of my students. I can't wait to see their reaction. thanks for the info!
sheeshh that's a very good trivia! just makes that episode a lot deeper than it was. thank you!

I love how this is your first kdrama, but hopefully you continue to explore more
I would love to see your reactions to Crash Landing on You
great episode! now i need episode 9 asap! thank you!
This show is just great writing after great writing, they deserve all the awards.
Young woo father is such a great actor props to him, he pulls at our heartstrings
Keep 'em coming, PLEASE! I need these reaction videos to tide me over until the next Netflix episode comes out. I find myself playing back scenes just to focus on the acting of these amazing actors without having to look at the subtitles.
is episode 9 not up on netflix yet ?

Silent lurker here finally leaving a comment! Thank you for watching this fantastic drama! And seems like you are marathoning this show 🥹🥹. Love love your reactions!
Really can't get over this. Too immersed into the video, imagining watching the drama with both you. And the discussion was great. 😍
Can't wait for the next episode, it's one of my favourite 🥺
Jin Kyeong (Tae Soo mi) is one of S Korea's most accomplished (and loved❤) actresses. As with so many of the actors in this drama, we are being treated to a real feast of some of the best S Korea drama has to offer. The writers, producers of this have excelled. TO them ALL a BIG thankyou. 👍
I really love this drama. A lot of other dramas are filled with gaslighting and just straight up avoidance of important topics. While this for example the father and daughter are very forward to each other. He did hide a big secret from her but the he told her right away when the moment came up.
You must watch "it's okay to be not okay" this kdrama is a healing drama that talks about mental health. the story is about a guy who works in a mental health hospital his life is all about taking care of his autistic older brother (he doesn't have any Joy or excitement) and that 'stong' woman who writes kids Storys (the storys are really interesting and deep) she act strong but she's actually lonely( Her clothes through out the drama are BEAUTIFUL they were actually made for here character) , it focus on how they effect each other lives.... and there's a dark murder case.
I really enjoy watching your reactions and i hope you will react to more kdrama in the future ❤️
Really been enjoying your uploads, as I rewatch each episodes with my two new besties and appreciate the conclusion commentary 💕
Park Eun-Bin has been killing it as Woo Young Woo for sure! I'm so excited for your reaction to the next episode, it's one of my favorites of the season (bring tissues!) ❤
The most authentic reaction of this series on RUclips!! Can’t wait to see next episode
You guys are the best! I especially enjoy all of your opinions at the end of the episode. Feels like I’m listening to a podcast. Loved this!!!
I am just so excited for you guys to see what is going to happen next. I have already seen till 12 and man o man there are some juicy stuff coming along.
영우와 태수미 마지막 장면 너무 좋았어요💜💜💜💜💜
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜^^
I'm gonna guess that young Tae Sumi's initial decision to terminate her pregnancy was in part because she was young and scared, but also under heavy pressure from her rich parents. (Oops you guys do go on to mention this .. I started typing right after the ep ended)
Also let's be aware the flashback is from the pov of WYW's dad, who describes Sumi as young rich girl who wanted to go back to that life and not one with a poor farmer's son (making her seem spoiled and unsympathizable). But is he being an accurate narrator? His emotional pain could make him make sense of his girlfriend's decision as such, but it may be more complicated once we learn her side of the story. This is a stretch, but it could be that Sumi even fought attempts to separate the newborn from her arms when the family maid was ultimately handed the newborn and tasked with delivering her to Gwang Ho. Alternatively, she was always a coldly rational person that she'd go on to be in her 50s, thinking politically/pragmatically rather than emotionally/romantically.
So excited for next episode as it is my favorite episode so far.
I'm always waiting for this video! Quick upload! Thank you ❤ from korea
Thank you so much for uploading so fast.
This is such a good show
Can,'t wait you guys watching eps 11 it was so emotional for me😭😭😭
Regarding Junho’s running after Park Yu Jin, remember that he always still look back for Young Woo, that’s his character, he made sure that YW is okay before he chase that man, although I feel that the chasing part is someone what related to the budding romance between him and Young Woo, he likes her but YW beats him by confessing first, plus the timing is not good because they are both on duty 😅.
By the way there is a delete scene in Episode 8, it’s about the relationships between Tae Sumi and CEO Han, I don’t know if I will mention it here but you can search on your own, there is a reason why they are competing to each other
Well since it’s a deleted scene, it’s not really a spoiler. Tae Sumi’s current husband used to be Han’s boyfriend whom she stole from Han. I don’t know if we should still consider that part of the storyline since it’s been deleted. But that’s apparently what happened.
i like episode8 the most. thanks for quick uploading this review!! so cool!!
This is such an awesome show and the acting is so on point. Just want to point out one thing that was said when WYW states how her mother didn't even recognized. Of course you wouldn't expect Mom to recognize her from a baby, since babies change so much. I think the point WYW was making and confirming to herself and her mom was that this would never looked for her, never followed her life even from afar. Her mother walked away from her and her father completely. Like her father said, he kept his promise and left law school, did not take any law related jobs and never reached out to her, and she respected her father, but her mother did nothing and she could have.
How devastating for WYW to find out this powerful woman made no effort to find out what became of the child she gave up.
Loving your reactions and insight!!!!!!
I rewatch ur reactions more than the show lol
I've been looking forward to this! thank you!
I’ve enjoying your channel and I can’t also wait for you guys reactions to episode 9 which is one of the funniest (heart warming as well) one.

I love watching your reaction, because how you guys react is exactly how I be when I watch this drama laughing and crying 😂😂😂
The reaction was so good.
It was really fun.
thank you
At last! Waiting your Ep.8 reactions are worthful lol
Park Eun Bin refused this drama cuz she was afraid of offending autistic children and theire family and was busy for other drama. But the writer and the director waiting for her a year till she said ok.
I think that was great decision.
Hey, I love you guys enjoying this series🥰
Did you guys know the name of two lawfirms, Taesan and Hanbada, are kind of metaphors. San means Mountain and bada means ocean in Korean! I'm not sure how the story will go on but I hope hanbada can be the ocean for her as Youngwoo loves whales so much!
That explains the whale in the meeting office thank u 😅

I have great weekend because you guys videos.
I have been waiting you guys reacting.
I'm now reviewing your reviews again from the start and I found what about the red umbrella only NOW. Syntell, you are so sharp observant...
두분의 리액션과 캐미가 참 좋고 한국드라마늪에 빠지셨군요.^^*
Your reactions and chemistry are great, and your in the swamp of Korean dramas. 💜💜💜
ahh I’m loving the back to back uploads!! this show sadly ends in two weeks 😭💔
The artists in this drama are all great at their crafts. Everyone♡ Yes, even Atty Kwon who sometimes I just wanna spit a good amount of curses to.
I wanted to symphatize with Atty. Tae Su Mi. I really thought I would no matter what. Her scene with Young Woo at the end was so heart-wrenching... But maybe I just can't move from how she conveniently forgot she had a daughter? She didn't even knew her name or at least a thing about her. It makes me so sad for Young Woo and (even more for) her father, that when she asked " do you resent me?", I was like "why would she not when you actually abandoned her?"
I wish that on the next eps, they'll be flashbacks of Tae Su Mi showing that she at some point looked for Young Woo and her father. Or tried her best. And that she did long for her too.
I'm very excited for the next ep especially to hear Achara's views as she just said today how she leans more on idealistic things. I do too so the next case was personally conflicting to me.
We don't know what the reason is though. For example, the parents could have had the doctors tell young TSM that her child died while they were delivering her. That would certainly be a way to prevent her from being distracted in the future, thinking about how her child is doing or trying to find Gang-ho and Young-woo to see for herself how they're doing.
Not saying this is the case, just a possibility. I just find it very unlikely that a heartwarming show like this would not leave an out for the main character's mom. That and the tendency for the show to some some sort of twist later on whenever it tells a story.
TSM herself: "There's nothing weaker than the human mind in the face of money" Maybe it's her legal motto because it is also who is she is.
Will forever push the react to "The King's Affection" agenda because Park Eun Bin's acting there is spectacular and needs to be appreciated more.
I will always look forward to your reactions because of how you really try to understand the story and how well you interpret the drama. Excited for your next reaction!
And I will add "Hello My Twenties" just to see her act like a goof ball for a contrast in her acting skills.
Yes. The King's Affection and Hello My Twenties are two of my favorites. Would love to see reactions to those 2 dramas and both are on Netflix.
The whale just passing by hahaaha I love it 😊
I am thoroughly enjoying your colab together watching this great kdrama - am looking forward to your reactions with each episode. I have been watching kdramas since beginning of 2020 and there are so many fantastic ones to watch, it's difficult to choose the next one for you to react to - may I suggest The Fiery Priest. It has it all - humour (I am English 😉), pathos, slapstick, cracking story. (Any of the following are top notch of the ones I have watched so far 😊: Goblin, My Mister, Hospital Playlist, Prison Playlist, The King Eternal Monarch, Crash Landing on You...etc etc. Also the film Train to Busan!). 👏👏
"눈이 부시게" 추천 할게요!!
눈이 부시게(The Light in Your Eyes)
Good choice
My mister 👍
I recommend " Mr. Sunshine "
I've been watching since 2006 I was 11 that time
More powerful scenes in yet another great episode! ♥
기다리고있었어요 빠른 업데이트 ㄱㅅㄱㅅ
Yes! Your so early!!! Thank you both sooo much!! I will comment again later hehehe I will just going to enjoy this video first!
