RE: Rescue Me, Episode 3 – Is it bad that when Kim Min-chul got bricked (literally) by Elder Choi, I was like “Good. It’s what he deserves!”? LOL 🙃

    I was quite horrified to see such violence coming from Elder Choi. I thought he was more of a manipulative guy who orders people to use violence, not himself.

      Feelings about Kim Min-chul aside, I was shocked by that too BUT I had a feeling he was prone to violence (or at least not caring about hurting people) when he was driving on that rainy night/almost hit Min-chul and threatened that one guy’s wife.

        Oh right. I just thought using violence in a public place was dangerous for his reputation but he wasn’t affected at all.

          True true — and I wonder if he knows about Min-chul… who would believe him if he said the kind, Elder Choi (that everyone knows) beat him with a brick? Maybe he clocked him as a ne’er do well (that look in the cafe! scum recognizes scum lol) and knew that hitting him would have no effect. MAYBE.

            Well, Min Cheol doesn’t give a good first impression so it wouldn’t be surprising if he was the one to beat up Elder Choi.

          I wouldn’t be surprised if Elder Choi had criminal past, there is a lot of anger in his portrayal and I suspect he wasn’t always able to hold it in public. Still isn’t, but at least he waits until nobody watching.

            I agree with you. It can explain how he gathered his minions too.

    Me too, he was cavorting around being violent jerk and seeing him getting his comeuppance was quite satisfying. The actor portraying Elder Choi is really good, I had no doubt he will beat MC, you could sense rage bubbling under this polished surface.

      He’s so good! I’m about to start episode 7 now, but I’m impressed/frightened by how deceptively kind and manipulative he is. He uses what is most precious to others (like the pastor and his faith) to his advantage and it’s scarily effective.
