Rambling About a Show (08/13/2022)
⚠️SPOILER!?⚠️
This is another drama I started because I saw an edit on tiktok that piqued my interest. (First time that happened was a Gwi edit, The Scholar Who Walks the Night). Anyhoo, I enjoyed the storyline, the action, the romance, and the drama. I started this on Wednesday (08/10/2022) and finished it today. Here's my rambling.
So, before Court Lady Noh Ok-nam mentioned anything about chaos and it's revealed a version of Jeong Tae eul exists in Lee Gon's universe. I kept questioning if her being in the Kingdom of Corea creates some sort of paradox or something. Same with when Lee Gon is in her universe. Also, later on when Jeong Tae Eul ask Na-ri what she would do if she had met another version of herself. Na-ri's response is shocking but also she's got a point. However, that does not mean I condone in murder. It just means I agree with the whole two versions of one person shouldn't coexist in the same universe, because it messes with the balance of everything.
There were so many plot twists. My favorite is when it's revealed that Lee Gon's older self is the one who saved his younger self on the night of the treason. I had figured it was either Jo Yeong or Luna.
Lee Jung-jin did an amazing job portraying Lee Lim, one of the villains that I couldn't stand. I think Jung Eun-chae also did a fantastic job as Minister Goo. The funny thing is, I instantly didn't like Minister Goo when she first appeared. As I continued on, she showed that I had a good reason not to like her. She is power hunger, manipulative, rude, and wants to be in control. Lee Lim, he just wanted power and eternity, still pretty evil. Also can't forget that he killed his brother and attempted to murder his nephew, Lee Gon. So, both characters are pretty evil and unsettling.
I got emotional when Lee Gon figured everything out towards the end, and also figured out he might not be able to return to Jeong Tae Eul. There was also a possibility that Jeong Tae Eul may not have memories of Lee Gon. Which honestly broke my heart. Also when Jo Eun seob and Jo Yeong said goodbye, that scene made me emotional.
I wanted to talk about the cinematography towards the end of episode 11 and into episode 12. I personally felt that him and his guards riding into the scene on horseback made it all the more powerful and emotional. Sure, they could have pulled up in their royal vehicles, but it wouldn't have as much of impact as the horses. That's just my personally opinion. It also looked like an extremely cool shot. Gotta hand it to the entire crew and actors for producing such a gorgeous and impactful scene. Another powerful scene I was mesmerized by was when Lee Gon and Jo Yeong went back to the night of the treason togethr. Their entrance there was amazing.
I recognized several of the actors from other dramas I have watched. Kim Yong-ji (Na-ri), first character I saw her portray was Yuri in Tale iof the Nine-Tailed. Kim Go-eun (Jeong Tae eul), first character I saw her portray was Ji Eun-tak in Goblin/Guardian The Lonely and Great God. Lee Min-ho (Lee Gon), first character I saw him portray was Goo Jun-pyo in Boys Over Flowers (currently watching that whenever I visit my bestie). Jeon Moo-song (Prince Buyeong/Lee Jong-in), first character I saw him portray was Veteran Lee Young-cheon in episode 6 of Tomorrow.
I should also recognize Kim Young-ok (Court Lady Noh Ok-nam) from an episode of Tomorrow, but I don't. 😳 I saw Kang Ki-doong (Secretary Kim) in Prison Playbook as Prison Officer Song. I was wondering why Kim Kyung-nam (Shin-jae) seemed familiar but couldn't place his face until now. He portrayed Lee Joon-dol in Prison Playbook. That character is vastly different from Shin-jae, hence why I couldn't pin point where I've seen him before. I admit I have seen The Divine Fury, Woo Do-hwan (Jo Yeon) portrayed Ji-sin in that film, but it's been awhile since I've seen that film so I forgot about it. 😫
I admit there is so much I love about this drama. But as usually I'm only rambling about everything that stuck out the most to me. This was definitely worth the watch.

When the Weather is Fine - KDrama
May panahon noon na akala ko ang buhay..
ay proseso sa paghahanap ng sarili mong lugar.
Lugar kung saan pwede akong mabuhay na hindi nakaka’storbo sa iba at hindi na’sostorbo.
Paghahanap ng lugar kung s’an walang magtataboy sa’kin.
Akala ko ganun ang buhay.
Pero ngayon, nagbago na ang pananaw ko.
Kung saan pa ‘yon, ang lugar kung nasaan ako ngayon, dun ako.
Basta mamuhay akong tapat sa sarili ko.
Naniniwala akong ayos lang mabuhay sa lugar na ‘yon.
Yun lang ang masasabi ko ngayong araw.
Kapag may sinabi pa ko, baka isuko ko na ang lahat.

I choose to close my 2021 chapter by sharing the KDrama that echoed lessons that were really for me. The KDrama is really calming to watch. And you guess it right, it is boring. I slept well many times after watching this. Hahaha!
The story focuses on cellist Mok Hae-won (Park Min-young) who decided to spend her hiatus in Gangwon Province where her auntie Shim Myeong-joo (Jin Hee-kyung) is living. There, she met again her schoolmate Im Eun-seob (Seo Kang-Joon) who had feelings for her since then.
The drama showcase how peaceful life is in the province where everyone knows each other and helps each other. Since the two protagonists are having feelings for each other, they are slowly helping each other heal the wound they have in their hearts. What the tearjerker for me is to know the tragic story of Myeong-joo who cannot let go of her past and living the present seems a hell before her true long-awaited death. I feel for her since I believe her life is the most realistic where you really think, “bakit nga ba di tayo paborito ng tadhana?”, [whey fate does not like us?] that you decided not to pursue happiness anymore. In the end, Myeong-joo decided to let go of the wrecking ball-like weight in her heart and lowkey started a new life.
From this drama, I learned not to give up on happiness even though there might be unfortunate events that would happen to us. That happiness is not easy to find alone, and even though you have someone, you still need to continue the conquest to find and keep this happiness in your heart because it would not stay with you that easily. We all deserve happiness. I tell you, no one else can take that happiness from you.
There is a close friend of mine who makes sure he will give me a letter whenever I am present in the semestral retreat, in the last retreat I attended, he said to me that he believes in me. In that alone, I believe and learned, everyone can have happiness. And it is you who can find and keep that. I may say in other words, only you,... who can define that. :)
P.S. What I also like about the Drama is it is full of poems, books, instrumental music, and sceneries. And the best poem for me is in the last 10 minutes of Episode 16. :D
