![Natanael Cano - Amor Eterno [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EO4prCs6WpM/mqdefault.jpg)
This episode had a lot of impact in South Korea. On July 29, a demonstration was held against the proposal by Education Minister Park Soon Ae, that intended to lower school entry age to five years-old, with a lot of signages making direct references to Bang Guppong’s lines on children’s well-being. The Education Minister has backed off from the proposal after the outcry.
That's great
Wow! That is how movies and shows should be like - Changing the society for good, not fighting one another over religion.
Power of progressive media at work
This is wonderful!
wow this is geeat to hear
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 was 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.
와우 영어로 잘하내
멋진 댓글!
So deep. Thanks for the info.
Wow! thank you so much
이 이야기를 하고싶었는데 훨씬 잘 설명해주셔서 좋아요 하나 보태고 갑니다ㅋㅋ
The impact of this episode is huge! The gov. of Korea is trying to lower the age to enter elementary and parents are trying to protest with Bang Guppong's line "Children must play now".
I think that's the charm of this show. There's always a message yet it doesn't force ideas to the viewers. There's always a discussion (especially with ep 10).
I can't believe that the guy who played 26 years old Mr. Bang is actually 40 years old in real life..
WHAT
thats funny because looked 40 to me. im 27, the rookie attorneys are 27 and he didn't seem like someone our age
It's interesting how the writer already set up the issue with the hardcore studying through episode 3, where a medical student committed suicide due to no longer being able to handle it. Some of those kids will probably end up like him in the future. I've also read that on National Exam Day in South Korea, they don't allow planes to fly over the country in fear of disturbing the students.
I am in my 40s and was born and raised in Seoul, Korea. When I was in high school, I had to study at school from 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. It was normal at that time and unfortunately it still works in other forms.Of course, now it is much better than before, but the enthusiasm for education in Korea is still not cooling down. It is driving force of Korea's rapid development, but it also made various social problems. Many of Koreans are trying to solve this problem little by little. This episode ... a little extreme and forced. But I think it was a necessary subject. I had a great time with you. thanks
Studying at private academies after school isn’t even just normal in Korea, it is expected. It’s weird/looked down upon if you DON’T send your kid to an academy. Of course, you can send them to specialised ones, so like an English academy, or music, or gymnastics, etc. or there are just general, all school subject ones.
Private academies were banned during the eighties but there was such a huge push back they were allowed again. Some (lots) of Koreans see the mandatory school hours as getting in the way of academy time, and that you learn everything at academies anyway so school is becoming more of a burden that people don’t appreciate anymore.
This is so sad. What is left of their childhood?
@@thedrunkenelf Why doesn't the government just make the academies the schools? Like the answer seems obvious. Is it just about money or the number of students attending?
If u don't send ur kid to a hagwon, I feel like a lot of ppl assume you're financially challenged since it costs money to send ur kid there.
@@kflowers8276 The reason the government does not make hagwons into schools is that hagwons and schools are different from each other. This is because schools provide a variety of classes with a curriculum tailored to the developmental process of children, but excessive prior learning occurs at hagwons. Usually, hagwons in Seoul have elementary school students study for the SAT.
This case was so touching for me, the happiness of children is so important. I wholeheartedly agreed with his message, especially with the high rates of child and teen suicide in Asian countries. And the severe bullying due to the stress and lack of play and interaction, the kids become almost soulless and bully other children to the point of near death, and most don't have remorse or empathy because those traits are not developed through interaction, nor are they shown these traits because its all about academic performance and competition.
But not his methods, and you just know he went to jail as he should've and as he was willing. I love that Attorney Woo realized they are already going to lose because he did commit a crime that deserves to be punished, but she could support and defend his ideology. That's her defense.
I loved the development of the romance and relationships this week. So sad yall didn't include the cafeteria scene and most of the chivalrous scenes for the RUclips review, but still really enjoyed it! Looking forward to yall's next reactions!
I'm Japanese. My country is really same situations for children too. Too much pressure and stressful for children. 😢 No more dream 😞
junho really took 10 business days to get that eyelash off of her lmao
Funny!
That subtle skinship initiation tho - totally intentional lol but loved it! ❤️
What we need to pick up is Mr. Bang once was one of them, the child lost his childhood. There is a scene saying his mother 'made her all three sons go to SNU and based on the experience she opened the cram school'. He didn't come out of sudden.
The result of the trial didn't show like Bang Gu Bbong said, he doesn't want the children to think the price of playing is ending up in jail. It wasn't just lines, it was a message to the viewers.
Many viewers say that if Gu - Bbong named the act as "Play education by a graduate from Seoul National University", the parents would have allowed it.
I just came back from teaching in China for 6 years and I can't tell you how much this episode resonated with me. I worked at an international bilingual school teaching 4th grade and during testing weeks, I had students so nervous that some would be physically sick, vomiting at school, going to the nurse with stomach aches, etc...my school let out at quarter to 5 every day and just about every student had an extra class or sport after school for at least 2 hours and some didn't get home until after 7-8pm, then they still had to do homework. on the weekends, they often had music or extra English classes so they didn't really have any time to play. even during the school holidays, we were required to send home holiday work packs for the kids to get extra practice and this was common practice for all the grades, as low as Kindergarten. the competition in China might even be worse than in SK because there are even more people (but don't quote me on that). so yeah, this episode had me crying at the end when the kids came to the court and Bang guppong recited the motto of the Children's Liberation Army with them. I mean, yeah, he did kidnap them technically but he got their permission and he brought them back safely. I know they're children but there's one thing I've learned after teaching for 14 years: children have their own ideas and their own voice and we should give them a say in their lives and education. if we just take the time to listen to them, we'd be surprised at what they have to say. great reaction, as usual guys! ❤
This "all work and no play" attitude extends to adult life as well. Observe how many of the office scenes, at the Hanbada Law firm, occur in late evening or past normal work hours.
Part of that is just that they're attorneys at a big prestigious firm, but yeah.
Really appreciate the writer inserting social commentary about Korea’s education system and expectations on children as well as importance of childhood and children’s well-being. It really make you think about those issues..
'MISUGARU' = Powder made of Mixed grains.
Grain powder is made by steaming, drying, and grinding grains. Through this process, it is sterilized and dried enough, so it hardly spoils even if you don't eat much, and if you mix several grains such as beans and oats, you can get other nutrients.
You can eat it as it is, but it is very thirsty and stuffy, so Koreans usually drink it with water or milk, and they often drink it cool by mixing grain powder with cold water and then floating ice. Misugaru with ice is a representative thirst-relieving drink in summer along with Sikhye and watermelon punch.
The correct pronounciation is more like misoot-gharu. There are different variants to the mixed grain which can consist of only few different grains but personally ive seen some that have close to 20 different kinds. Some variants include beans and dried vegetables to improve different types of nutrients.
This episode was something bittersweet like very thick espresso with sugar, that telling about the distorted educational aspiration of some wealthy parents for their children in certain part of Seoul, Korea... We can't laugh at and also we can't cry for...
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.
The message of ep 9 is sooooo deep…. I just cried while watching it…
I was an English tutor to a kid in high school, and younger, when I was a sophomore in a college.
Their life was unbelievable. They all wanted to become sth like doctor and scientist. (Sorry, their parents wanted them to). One of them told me she skipped one of her classes because they wanted to watch a movie. Her mom called her and pulled her out of the movie theatre in the middle of the movie. She went there twice to watch this movie, because she liked it and had been waiting for it for a long time, but she didnt get to finish the movie. It was heartbreaking.
She also only had 1 hour break and 30 mins break in a day. She studied from 8am to 10PM everyday. That was really sad.
This episode made me cry so much, i'm sure it was my inner child who teared up that much.. because i had to be responsible at such a young age ,i couldn't really had some time to play and i can see now and feel all the consequences of it as an adult. I had a therapy about my inner child and i feel better now but yeah, i can't go back even if i accepted it and feel better now.
You don't sound weird. I have 6 year old twins, and watching them just play, worry-free, happily, feels like medicine sometimes.
The reporter you guys mentioned, at the end of the scene, is not directly hired by Minwoo himself.
The reporter was first mentioned by Director Han of Hanbada, in the beginning of episode 8.
Director Han mentioned that they shouldn't always tackle a case romantically, but should sometimes try to use a political method.
As she was saying that she wanted to send a reporter into the village, so the reporter is the one from episode 8.
Based from what was found on episode 8, it is probably most likely that the reporter who took pictures of Tae Su Mi
was probably hired by Director Han herself.
He's suppose to be dead. He's the math teacher in Squid Game 😅
This is probably not true, according to me... She is young woo's father's friend and i don't think she will go to that extent just for politics...
In episode 8,she said that they should involve public into this case by using media support, for this, that guy (i forgot his name) hired one of his friend (the cameraman / reporter)
@@null2639shw nah i think she's right 'cause woo young woo's father himself called her out on using his daughter, they're not "friends". The director just wants to be the number one firm. So i wouldn't be surprised if she did this
@@mayax2431 well it might be true, and you may be correct... But still doubt that... Speculations can be made by the father, but still you can't forget the fact that she helped young woo join hanbada because she was father's friend...well, let's wait for the upcoming episodes...
8:36
misugaru = mixed grain powder + water (Korean traditional drink (non-alcoholic))
8:36 misugaru is sweety mixed grains drink. Adults usually drink it because it is good for satiety and health.
As someone who's struggled a lot with the education system, even here in the U.S., and wants to see it better, this episode resonated so hard. It's so, so very important. And as someone with ADHD, ASD, and GAD, this and the next episode are very special to me, because they illuminate important things.
ep 10 also got me very angry at certain people haha.
It's fun watching with you guys ,thanks for not putting too much gap between each episode
Yeah I'm happy it's every day ☺️
저는 한국에 살고있는 한국인입니다.
이드라마에 대한 내용은 명백한 사실이며
아이들이 학교가 끝난후에 여러 학원을
다니며 밤늦게 귀가하는것은 일상입니다.
현재 한국 대통령이 바뀐이후
현재 한국 뉴스에서 정부는
만5세 즉 미국나이로 4살에
초등학교에 입학 시키자는 내용으로
찬성&반대로 논란이 커져 이슈인 상황입니다.
저에게는 7살 4살 조카 두명이 있습니다.
요즘 코로나에 폭염에 유치원이 끝나면
아이들은 밖에서 놀고 싶은데
집에만 있으니 심심하다고 합니다.
저는 친동생집에 찾아가 한마디 합니다.
"야 이상한변호사우영우 9편 봤어안봤어?"
"봤지 9편 왜??"
"어린이들은 지금 당장 놀아야된다! 못봤어?"
"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ알았어 애들 데리고 공원에서 놀고있어 나도 설겆이 마무리하고 나갈께~"
나는 조카들이 노는것을 지켜 보면서
땀이 많이 납니다.. ㅠㅠ
아이들 데려다주고 씻고난후
우영우 보면서 소주한잔~캬~
Que bueno que intentas hacer la infancia de tus sobrinos un poquito más feliz eres un gran tío! Corea es un país admirado en muchos otros lados, pero no sacrifiquen su felicidad emocional para seguir siéndolo por favor
You can understand that the misugaru in the content is a traditional Korean drink made from grain. The bus driver put sleeping pills in it.
미숫가루
ep10 will ask us so many questions. I'm looking forward to next reaction!!!
It's crazy how this issue has been brought up so many times in media but nothing has changed (if anything, it got even worse). It really hit me when he said, it would be late when they're older. They don't know how to play. They won't have tools to deal with the harshness of being an adult. I feel like Gu-ppong tried to change it the "normal" way but like you said, parents won't buy that idea that play will help their children. Seriously, what do you do? He felt that this is an urgent thing. It's very important. This is why our children are thinking of dying. He knew what he did is a crime. He didn't even want to defend himself because he understands. Yet, he stood by his beliefs, hoping that it will change something for the future of the children. He still got jailed for it which is the writer's way of saying his methods are still wrong despite the intention being right.
As an Early Childhood Educator, it really pains me to see children having to study the whole day with no play at all. They don't even get to interact with their parents. Play is an important part of children's development. I hope this show at least becomes a reminder to parents and educators around the world.
Misugaru(미숫가루) is a multigrain powder that has been eaten by Koreans for over a thousand years.
This wonderfully delicious and filling powder was traditionally made simply with either one or
a combination of cooked and roasted sweet rice flour, regular white rice flour or barley flour.
And this was even had as a meal substitute back in the days when food was scarce in Korea.
The most popular way to eat this powder is to make a drink with it either with honey or sugar water or with milk.
It’s a great snack drink because it’s a little more than just a drink. Think smoothie.
And It’s also nutritious and easy to digest, so it’s great for kids and the elderly.
Every recipe makes it differently but here are some of the common grains used to make Misugaru.
Sweet Rice (찹쌀 chapssal)
Short Grain Rice (멥쌀 maepssal)
Job’s Tears (율무 yulmu)
Millet (좁쌀 jobssal)
Brown Rice (현미 hyeonmi)
Oats (귀리 kwiri)
Sorghum (수수 susu)
Black Soy Beans (서리태 seoritae)
Barley (보리 bori)
Brown Sweet Rice (현미찹쌀 hyeonmi chapssal)
Black Rice (흑미 heukmi)
Soybeans (메주콩 meju kong)
Black Sesame seeds (검정깨 Geomjeong kkae) ? not a grain but added for flavor
Perilla seeds (들깨 deulkkae) ? not a grain but added for flavor
How to make Misugaru Drink ? traditional way!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup water
1.5 Tbs honey or 2~4 tsp sugar
3 to 4 Tbs Misugaru Multigrain Powder
5 to 6 ice cubes
8:37 Misugaru is a Korean multi-grain powder drink.
Mr.Fart put sleeing peel into "Misugaru" of the driver's drink. "Misugaru" is korean tranditional roasted grains powder, made of soy bean, brown rice, nuts, etc. It's nutty and nutritious, very yummy as well ^^
And we drink powder made of mixed grains(misutgaru) mixed with milk!
맞아요^^ 고소하고 너무 맛있어요. 특히 여름에 자주 먹어요^^
미숫가루 먹고싶다..어릴때 먹고 요즘엔 못먹었는데
Sounds delicious, specially for the nuts and rice.
His name Bang gu ppong means ‘Bang gu’ ‘방구’ means fart, and ‘ppong’ ‘뿡’ or ‘뽕’ means fart sound. Also ‘Bang’ is actually the last name used in korea!
WOO TO THE YOUNG TO THE WOO 🙌🙌
I really love this episode and also sad in the ending where the children recite the rules 🥺
I was also shock about how student's study style and their time in school 🥺
The funniest part I saw is when all of the attorney did some funny names for the children in the bus 😂
This is my fav episode so far 🫶
me too this is my favorite episode ever. because bang gu bbong(??) was the most facinating client ever, dont you agree?
@@job_duck-p4k yes 😍🥺
It's just sad that he only wants to make the children happy and experience games and being a child for once. 🥺 But he was accused of kidnapping etc.
The driver thou 😐😤
Agree! This was also my fave episode. Made me realize i would never subject my child to that kind of life.
i mean mr fart,,
잘은 못 알아듣지만 두분 리액션 에너지가 넘쳐나네요~^^
Misugaru : powder made of mixed grains, roasted and ground grains
It is a traditional Korean drink, and is a nutritious drink made by mixing grain flour with water or milk.
The academy i used to go to during 5th grade ended at 10:30 to 11pm depending on how well i did my homework
And then i had to walk home which would take about 30 minutes
실제로 제 주변 부모들의 초등생 자녀들 대부분이 학원을 기본적으로 적으면 3개 많으면 5개, 거기에 개인과외까지 하나 혹은 두개이상.. 아이들이 어떻게든 그상황을 버텨야해서 학업에 필요한게 아니면 집중을 거의 안합니다. 답이 정해져있는 과제들 숙제들 외에 창의력을 필요로 하는 문제와 수업은 늘 선생님께 뭘하면 되는지 알려달라고만해요. 애들이 항상 지쳐있어요. 미술수업은 특히나 알려주는대로만 그리고, 그 이상 손을 움직이지 않습니다 아이들에게 그 나이대에 당연히 있어야할 즐거움, 호기심 그런게 없어요. 그런 아이들 모습이 꽤나 충격이어서, 우영우 드라마에서 아이들의 현실을 반영한 내용을 보고 거의 마지막쯤엔 많이 울었습니다.
8:37 ‘misugaru’ means,
powder made of mixed grains, roasted and ground grains. ‘Mi’is like rice, ‘garu’ means powder. Koreans dilute it in water and drink it as a cool drink on hot summer days. It's like a protein shake and savory.
Episode 10 is going to be incredibly complex. You're going to experience a WHOLE lot after that, so I'm looking forward to your reaction and your discussion 👍👍👍
It is completely complicated… the issue is quite sensitive and hard.. that’s a great episode…
Yeah definitely one of the more thought provoking episodes so far.
Reminds me of 3rd episode where the elder brother committed suicide at least partly cause of the pressure of school
Woo needs to get better relationship advice. 😉 Kwon Poop - seems accurate 😀
I cried so much during this episode! Of course I was creeped out by Bang Guppong at first, but after hearing his reasoning I understood him. Still kidnapping isn’t the best way to go about even with their consent, but the idea of wanting kids to be kids resonates with me. In America, I’m seeing this wild ideology that kids should be adults or make adult decisions and as an adult I still struggle with making the best choices, so how can kids do that?
I’ve been in love with Korean culture for a long time and the most heartbreaking thing I’ve seen so far is how mental exhausting the education system can be. I know it produces great minds, but for kids to not have time to be kids?? Seems incredibly stressful. There has to be a middle ground.
Another show that highlights the pressure of the education system is SKY Castle. I shed many tears during that show. It is very good and highly recommend if you haven’t watched it.
Yeah, I think that maybe working for his mom's academy and secretly filming them to expose their conditions to the world may have been a better option, granted that also would've been terrible for his mom.
@@zuriyel5368 i think his psychological condition is very influenced by her mom methods of education and the results of this is his philosophy about children have to play.
His mom started the academy based on her success to send her 3 kids to SNU (like harvard in korea) alone as a single mom.
So we can know, that Bang had already had the experience being pressure to do the extreme education. He must have been didn't want that extreme education and his wish is to vanish that and let the children play.
@@zuriyel5368 I like this idea. I also like how his mom never defended her academy like she knew what she was doing was wrong
@@sori4086 I totally agree with this! I didn’t think about it like that. It’s also crazy that he went to SNU which like you said is Harvard in Korea and did what he did. I watch variety shows and I can see how people who go to elite schools are treated differently, but in the show you see how they disregarded his education because of his crime. It’s pretty interesting. Especially considering how the parents were so upset with Guppong and his mom, but when the lawyers said it would an educational field trip-they changed their minds. They were excited that lawyers who went to Seoul National were taking them to see the man who kidnapped their children.
@@taygray6424 like Guppong say, it's too late if the kids playing when they're already in university, or later when they're already got a job, which means the parent don't want their kids wasting time with playing, but they should have played when they already success as a adult.
That's why maybe he thought he should've tried to stop that, bcoz he know playing when we're still a kid and playing as adults is totally different.
So even, he graduates from prestigious university, his mind only focusing on how to let the children play.
Random but... I was so excited when it looked like Young Woo made it thru the revolving doors by herself. She even seemed proud of herself so that was a bit of a bummer. But because they keep showing this, I feel like she will master those doors by the last episode.
She certainly made it in the revolving door but I'm not sure she made it out by herself or by Jun Ho's holding the door😉
This episode make me emotional, because I could relate to it. Studying at private academies is very common not only in Korea. In elementary school I used to study and going to extra curriculum classes from 7:00 to 20:00 every single day. By 21:00 I was at home and doing homework to 22:00.
Another really good show that has a character on the spectrum is move to heaven... It follows a mix of wholsome and darker storylines
6:36 Think he got beat up by other prisoners because of his "unique" personality. He can't get along with people(adults)..especially with his pure heart. That's why his mom tried so hard not sending him to jail. She even mentioned that he won't be able to survive if he goes to jail.
Misugaru is grains powder. They make cool summer drink of it. The guy taking photo of Tae Su Mi is a photojournalist.
Attorney Kwon invited him to that tree case and it seems he started to follow Tae Su Mi afterwards since she is a candidate of Attorney General.
at least the classes are until 10pm because of the law. Before that law, it was later than that. Even after the law, I remember studying inside the classroom without windows, with the shutter shut down, pretending there was no one in the institute.(in my middle school ages)
🔥Im not sure that y'all gonna see my comment, but I just wanna say that I lived in the town called "DaeChi". Our town is the most famous town in Seoul that teenagers study rlly rlly hard. After school(from elementry, middle, high school) me and my friends go to learn math or science until 10PM, so every day 10PM it's traffic jam is so hard. (because of parent's car to pick-up their child) Now Im all grown up, and visit to this town sometimes. There are so many study cafes that teenagers studying at and every thing is same or worse than when I was teen. (I said worse but kinda complicated issue because now I think it is kind of investment time for our better future life)
So what I want to say is that this episode, I think they wanna say how bad our educational culture can cause bad effect to our childhood. Sorry about my bad english and I hope you enjoy rest of this drama episodes :)
Finally the episode Jun Ho confesses!! Love the speed guys.. thank you 🥰
I love how you guys uplode this drama everyday!! I watch it before I go to bed and fall asleep happily.!!
thats how things are in korea though. its a lot of late-night studying and a lot of stress put on by the parents to the kids. my oldest brother used to teach at an english academy in korea and he said it would get very stressful for the kids. i remember one thing he told me was that the director and other staff would tell the tutors, "Dont let the parents know you speak korean, otherwise they will badger you about their kids, so best not to risk it if you dont want the parents constantly asking for updates on their kids and their studies". The tutors were essentially banned from speaking korean while working there.
Maybe its changed over the years since its been a long time since my brother was a tutor in korea
미숫가루 [mi sut garu] is cereals powder.
Water+cereals powder+sugar= it,s beverage.
Misugaru is a mixed multi-grain powder that is ground, roasted and/or steamed. It's commonly added to milk and sugar, and stirred to make a drink. With ice, it makes a wonderful summer drink. I'm actually drinking a glass of it right now. :)
우쒸~ 오늘도 먼 소린지 하나도 모르는데 또 시청하고 잇어 ㅠ
ㅋㅋ 좋은소리하고 계심. ^^
나와 같은 동료가 있다니,천만 다행입니다--ㅋㅋ
와 저두요ㅋㅋ
교포로써 한마디 하자면, 이분들 드라마 짬밥이 대단하단걸 알수있음. 본인 모국어가 아닌 드라마 보면서 놓치는 부분 하나도없이 다 이해함. 꽤 대단한 통찰력을 지니고계심
When I was a middle school, high school student, "Hakwon" was like that. Back days, there was no law so "Hakwon" could operate over 10 pm. And at that time, I heard some of my friends did this “school - Hakwon - sleep” routine even since an elementary school. Well... I guess it's getting worse.
I was raised in the west but we westerners can be really weird when it comes to talking about kids. Notice Achara saying there's something wonderful about watching kids play (100% true) but had to preemptively specify that she didn't mean anything inappropriate by that, because you just know there's always that one person who will take that out of context, go on twitter, and go on some rant while shaming her.
When syntell acted when the Ml confessed I was like...okay..I am not the only one acting this way during those scenes 😂
I feel so sad at this episode as a korean.
In S.korea, many kids have to do studying till late night. Of course, not all of kids.... But It's true that is hard to children, though. 🥲
I really like your reaction guys can’t wait to see more.
After you finish this series I recommend you to watch “ Kill me Heal me” and “ it’s ok not to be ok” both are amazing kdrama
Kill me Heal me ❤️❤️❤️
Oh 'Kill Me, Heal Me' is kinda old but definitely a favorite drama of mine!
Kill me heal me, it’s okay not to be ok…… are very good dramas I like that the emotions were portrayed so well and it was so touching really
That’s an interesting observation. The importance of play has been proven and vastly researched as an important part of education, which unfortunately, we tend to underestimate and undermine as part of current societal standards re purpose of education, how we define childhood and adulthood, and change in semantics. Add to that our world view whether it be moulded by Western philosophy or otherwise - all add to our perceptions of how we perceive others and their intentions.
Ultimately, we live in a society governed by the very values which uphold these worldviews, leaving very little room for individuality or the challenging of broad based ideologies. So whilst Bangu-pong may have had good intentions and a justified set of beliefs, ultimately, it goes against societal standards and was framed as such by the prosecutor. And rightly so I think.
I stand with Attorney Woo on this one, who whilst recognises Bangu-pongs values on childhood freedom, is able to stay within the boundaries of social ethics and promote liberation through attempting to change attitudes and mindsets instead. She’s such a wonderful character who epitomises the best of both worlds!
Kudos for the fabulous reaction! 👍🏽
Eagerly waiting for the next episode
when you guys finish this drama I wanted to recommend another one it’s called the sound of magic it’s on Netflix and that drama also talks about an important lesson that I won't spoil.
"Minister" level of is equivalent to "Secretary" in the US. Like the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defence etc, they are apex positions.
Keep these reactions rolling!
Wow, nice acting !! Syntell became almost an entertainer.
I love that you're uploading the reaction to WYW videos daily, watching your video has become my everyday morning routine. Can't wait for your reaction to ep.12 though, which has become my favourite so far. Great reaction, thoughtful analysis from both Syntell and Achara as always. I also saw some people recommending It's Okay to Not be Okay as your next kdrama, and I cast my vote on that one too, it's a great drama that I think you'll enjoy.
An excellent 'medical rom com' with an 'autistic' doctor played by Park Shi on. (Joo Won) available on NEFTFLIX and VIKI et is really good to watch. As an ex military med professional I'm VERY particular about med dramas.. this was really good! 😶Park Shi on really plays the part of the 'autistic' doctor to perfection. 10/10
what is the title of the drama?
@@iamscoliosisgirl 'The good doctor' KOREAN drama.
The county is different from America. When I visit a country, I count how many women or children walking the streets at night. When I was visiting Korea, there were many women and children roaming the streets at night alone.
How quickly! I love that you are sharing your opinions after watching the episode!
They did it again ! The outfit colors 🔥 Cant wait for the next episode, thank youuu ! 💙🐳
If you look at dolphins, they tend to bend their fins abnormally.You can see that you can't see it So Woo Young-woo, like those dolphins, being abnormal means himself and freedom
This episode reminds me of the movie "Dead Poet's Society" and
I miss Robin Williams so much.
YAY!!!! You're back so quickly!!! Love your recaps!
Which I really like is, the writer of this drama wants to give a message to the people about questionable problem in our society from every episode. Sometimes the character might be too exaggerated, but still the point of the message is so clear.
As a mom, I will be terrified if these kind of situation happens to my kid. But just thinking, drama is drama.
(They didn’t show the result of this trial, but I could see they definitely loose this case. So ended up just like that. So clever ! )
misut garu is grain powder, which we mix it in water, we take it, sometimes when we don't feel like not eating, or not having a proper meal. Or when we're not able to have time to eat. It's handy in a bottle. Easily found in korean sauna, jjimjilbang
I am from Korea and was a teacher in South Korea up until 4 years ago. This episode is based on an issue now in South Korea because from elementary school, kids study until 10 pm and do the homeworks and go to bed at 12am to 1am and wake up in the morning and it goes on and on on the weekends as well. They dont get to eat healthy food or enough time to get sleep from 10years old to senior high school just to get into good college.
OMG. Really quick you guys posted this episode. Thank you 💕💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
misutgaru.. is a Korean traditional drink. Mixing in water and powdered grain.. so it's sorta like cereal shakes/smoothies.
My guy! You are a wizard for symbolism. Thank you for pointing these things out. :)
Can't wait for this. AHHHHHHHHK😖🥰
I just wanted to say that for some reason you are my favorite reactors to this drama!
Thank you 😊
woo's mom is so pretty
Misugaru 2 spoon
Honey 1 spoon
Milk 1~2 cup
This case really messed with my mind and feels. Like both of you, I understand his agenda and I agree with him, yet I can't defend how we went about.
I was thinking is it the idealism so strong? Should I call it idealism when it was about something very simple and natural - kids being able to play, be healthy and happy? Aren't these actually what should be in the first place. Then I'll go back to "am I idealistic then as well?" (when I actually consider myself as realistic). I just went a full circle, over and over.
I'm Asian but I'm on my 30s. I was able to have fun while still learning. I'd say the generation of students now is really sad and pitiful. (The pandemic added, their fun of being with their classmates was gone or got lesser). There were times when I can't even understand why they have to go through all those hardships at a young age. They're not even in college/university. They were studying as if they're already about to take a professional licensure exam.
I think Young-woo was right when she said Mr. Bang was a political offender. He believed that just one afternoon of fun would be so valuable and impactful for these kids, that he was willing to risk going to prison to give that to them. Instead of protesting or going into early childhood education, he engaged in direct action to take the kids on a kind of field trip where they could just enjoy unstructured play. For some people, the fact that it was illegal means they don't think it was the right approach. But I think the kids would remember this fondly for the rest of their lives, and for him that's what matters.
Im enjoying y'all reactions to the k drama! This episode touched my heart as a person who works and trains the behavioral workforce in my state in the mental health field primarily with BIPOC Youth and families gaining cultural relevant access to care. The episodes also speaks to one of the reasons Korea has had for years the highest rate of suicide and is the 5th highest cause of death those age 10- 59 and for those age 10 -39 the 1st and 2nd cause of the death with societal pressures to do well in school, to be successful, etc..identified as one of the primary reasons 💔
This episode has helped inspire protestors in SK about stopping the government from starting kindergarten earlier.
I know that international age/the age is the US is different....so if you are, in most, cases already a yr at birth...doesn't that seem unrealistic to expect from teachers and children? Shouldn't you at least be potty trained when starting school for the most part?
Not kindergarten, but elementary school. Sending 5 year old children to 1st grade seems absurd.
@@OhSoLiliana I had heard kindergarten but either way it is terrible.
@@telemperor No it was elementary school.
I still hold out that redemption will be had by all before this is over.
Thanks for your reactions. You both make a good team.
misugaru is a drink thats made by mixing water or milk with multi-grain powder (usually water though). its can be a breakfast substitute, a healthy snack or as a drink for the hot summer months. its also sometimes used for dieting as its low in calories but quite filling. :)
me personally ive had it as a breakfast substitute and ive had days where i didnt have to eat much throughout the day because of it. you can either easily make misugaru yourself (just need a pack of the powder and water) or you can find it in a lot of korean bathhouses. its also usually on the snack menu at korean bathhouses. hehe
You two have become my favorite reactors on youtube. You raise such great points in the video and I love the conversation that happens at the end. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions. Look forward to Ep. 10!
misugaru is mixed grain powder.
Rice flour is a preserved food made by drying and grinding grain. In Korea, it is traditionally made by steaming or roasting glutinous rice, non-stick rice, or barley rice. In modern times, as a balanced intake of nutrients has become more important, other grains such as beans, or powders such as seaweed or mugwort are sometimes added.
Since ancient times, it has been widely consumed as a home drink in summer, and was also used as a battle food during wars. According to the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, the first thing to prepare was wheat flour in the case of war, in homes with men who could go out, or in families preparing to evacuate. Even in modern times, star candy and wheat flour were put in paper bags containing biscuits, which were distributed as combat food during the Korean War, as corrosives. The Chinese soldiers who participated in the war made rice flour their staple food. Originally, during the Korean War, China tried to provide rear support with only the three northeast provinces, but when it could not meet the demand, it even instructed the residents of the central and southern provinces to make wheat flour. It is possible because the main ingredients are all grain flour, and it is a good substitute for meals in modern daily life. Occasionally, it is used instead of porridge for patients who have difficulty chewing.
Hi guys! Greetings from Seoul! 🙋♀️🙋♂️🙋 I have really enjoyed your reactions and comments so far. I might say the perspective of yours are so gentle and well balanced. So, I'd like to share historical moments with you through K-drama like 'Red sleeve' or 'Mr. Sunshine'.
Both are such excellent dramas. Just so you know, as a person from the USA, I believe S Korean TV is so much better than ours. 3 years of Korean TV only and still loving it. So many talented actors and writers and directors, and the production is so good. I don't see myself ever going back to American TV, except for the occasional show here and there.
this episode and episode 3 both address this issue of grind culture in korea to the point of self distruction. korea has the 4th highest suicide rates in the world, and this culture for constantly studying as a kid all the way to an adult is one of the big factors towards it
I cried watching this episode.
Wow! you are really busy ^^
Thank you for the quick video.
Looking forward to the next episode!!❤️
Next episode is going to be a controversial one! Even more than this one!
