I loved You’re Beautiful when I watched it ages ago. But when I went to rewatch it recently, I realized it was pretty bad and only made it a few ep. into my rewatch before I had to drop it 😅
I still have good memories of it though, I just can’t ever rewatch it lol
Lee Honggi is the main singer of the band FT Island and recently went to the military. Yoo Hweseung is the main singer of the band NFLYING from the same label as FT Island’s.
word of advice:
episode 1 and episode 2 right down to near the ending is confusing and not that great. but please DO NOT drop it. we promise you once you get past that, the drama just gets better and better.
@carmen
I need to copy and paste my advice to “newbies”. Here goes once again (yay!) The first 15-16 episodes are nice and light, cute, some may think just ordinary – why all the fuss? Then it turns darker, ripping your heart out, tearing it shreds and then some more. But never fear, after the 32 (33?) episode you’ll feel as if you’ve been reincarnated into a better life, finding your soulmate, solving mysteries, raising teenagers and finally – peace!
Makjang Family
Chapter 1 – The janitor
Some years ago, I lived in a 6-apartments building. Just upstairs there was a family of three: a Lady, a Son and a Daughter.
Lady told everyone that she worked as a janitor in a primary school, so my mum and other mothers asked her things like when school would start, and she willingly responded.
After a while, we all found out that she didn’t work at all: she left the house early in the morning, stayed away the right amount of hours, and then returned home. She even went to schools to ask for information to be ready to respond to the other ladies’ questions. She also had some janitor uniforms that washed and hung to dry off. Sometimes she left the house wearing one of them.
(When it was clear that all knew the truth, she stopped pretending and stayed home).
Chapter 2 – The widow
Lady was a widow. Her husband had killed himself when he had found out that she had a lover. The second child was that Other Man’s Daughter. Other Man was married and had a family he lived with, but he came upstairs from time to time to spend time with Daughter (and to fight with Son about money).
Chapter 3 – Time skip and two marriages
As a young adult, Son married a girl (I’ll call her Jenny), while Daughter was dating a guy (I’ll call him Mark). Believe me, they were really loud, and all the other families in the building could hear them when they fought (and sometimes even when they simply talked to each other). Even now, when I hear noises, I absent-mindedly think it’s Makjang Family upstairs, even if I don’t have neighbors upstairs anymore.
Son and Jenny fought a lot because they couldn’t have children, and apparently Son knew it before the marriage. (Another neighbor told that she had heard Lady proposing Jenny having a child with another man, a family friend, but I didn’t and don’t want to believe it).
Little time later, Daughter got pregnant and married Mark. Some days after the marriage, Lady was talking to a friend (loudly and on the balcony, of course), and with satisfaction she said that “that guy” wanted to break up with Daughter, but she had found the way to catch him.
So, a little boy was born and, after two or three years, they welcomed a little girl.
Chapter 3 – The twist
They lived ALL together and they fought A LOT.
When Daughter fought with Mark, Jenny always took her sides against him.
Time passed.
One day, – the little girl was about five or six years-old – the apartment upstairs was strangely silent.
The building was peaceful.
This continued day after day.
It was wonderful, but strange, too. Very strange.
I don’t remember the way we found out about the reason beyond that silence, but eventually we found out: Jenny and Mark had run away together!
Epilogue
Lady, Son, Daughter and the children continued living upstairs, but more quietly.
Mark took the children for the holidays, and it was clear he had a good relationship with them (he had always seemed a doting father).
The last time I heard about them, more than ten years ago, I was told that Jenny and Mark had started a business and they had a little boy of about a year together.
Hi, Beanies! I\’d like to try to post a story for #MakjangMonday… could I post this evening or tomorrow? (Monday will be hectic…).Then, I read that a Beanie asked to be removed from @justme \’s list
post whenever you like. I «came up» with makjang monday and I myself have yet to have posted on a monday. I do hope I didn’t cause too much inconvenience to the beanies who didnt want to be included in this! I apologize!
A salt doll asked the sea: “Who are you?”
The sea answered: “If you want to know me, dip your feet into me.”
“Salt doll, who are you?” the sea asked. “I’m the sea.”
“And… I’m you.”
And the OST played here is amazing.
“One” by Woong San:
You are the one
You’re like a flower blooming in the darkness
From the corner of my heart
With the cruel words of love
I’m calling you
Trapped in darkness
The closer I get to you
The more I fall
I placed you in my heart one time
And the whispers of the soul haven’t stopped
Now I can’t go back
All those painful times
Take them away
You are the one
That deep place that I can’t forget
I can’t escape from this longing
I can’t hide my hidden pain
So I’m swallowing it with my tears
The closer I get to you
The more I fall
I placed you in my heart one time
And the whispers of the soul haven’t stopped
Now I can’t go back
All those painful times
Take them away
I placed you in my heart one time
And the whispers of the soul haven’t stopped
I’m suffocating, I can’t stand these memories
Take them all, take them all away from me
Thank you! I wanted to search for this lyrics!
Park Ha-Sun was wonderful in that scene: it seemed her Ji-Eun could burst of joy and tears for having him again.
Their reunion in the next episode was beautiful, too.
Aww, my pleasure dear.
The lyrics is so beautiful and heartbreaking. It just describes their situation..
Indeed! The tears in their eyes while holding hands was touching.
I’m too scared to watch new episodes
me before the exam: \”After the exam I want to have headaches from reading, playing with my nieces, watching dramas, writing reviews, learning Korean, going out… \”
me after the exam, on the bed: \”I… have… no… energy… to move… a single… finggggg…\”
ABYSS EP.15 – So, Oh Tae-Jin was sitting among the reporters, and Judge Seo didn’t point out at him, but let him go away quietly… (I know we need him for the last episode, but that scene was so… so… I can’t even find a word…).
Anyway, the scenes with the two couples were hilarious, I love real Mi-Do. But, where was Hee-Jin? I can’t say if I should remember something about her whereabouts…
ABYSS: I lost count of how many times characters were kidnapped and Hee-Jin was left alone when she should have an army to watch her… but for some mysterious reasons, I still like it… �
I didn’t see what was wrong until I read the episode’s title… Fauxcest mixed with a divorce couple with the ex-wife wanting to have a baby? That could be total makjang.
I loled at the make-up plan. I can’t believe the writer thought it was a good idea. Since the ML has Alzheimer he isn’t going to recognise her at one point anyway but the synopsis says they’re going to get a divorce. Then they meet each other again later and that moment would’ve been better for the make-up thing (with makjang logic à la Temptation of Wife).
I brushed over the synopsis to be surprised. The make up plan is bound to fail like other characters told the wife. I watched it x2 speed because it doesn’t make sense.
Let’s start with the good: ep.7. How sweet was of Ryan to help Deok-Mi to attend the idol event, and then to look at her fangirling like she was the cutest thing in the world?
And the “finally-speaking dad” was hilarious. Poor thing, I was glad someone paid attention to him and was interested in his stones!
The blind fold thing was a little over the top, but it’s a drama, after all…
Ep.8: I wasn’t mad at the umpteenth delusion, I knew it was too easy and too strange for the real first kiss, so I didn’t mind. The ep. had some good scenes and for a sec. I was like: “Oh! Finally! Two women that like the same man in a drama could become friends! It’s so good!”. No, it wasn’t. Here is the stabbing.
And Eun-Gi was so mean to DM! I’m very disappointed, boy.
I didn’t like the lack of communication between the leads, too, but I was that stupid one time, so I can understand Deok-Mi.
Result: I don’t wait for the next week (even if I’ll watch eventually). So sad they killed the excitement.
ONE YEAR AS KDRAMA VIEWER
One year ago, I watched the first episode of Temperature of love… and my life as kdrama viewer started (the failing experience with I miss you pilot never happened).
I …
… had found a link to Viki thanks to an Italian article that spoke about kdramas. In that period I was losing interest in western shows, that I had loved for years, because of a lot of reasons. One of them was the fact that I was entertained by them, but I felt nothing watching them or thinking about them. I didn’t want simply to sit down and have time passed. So, I welcomed something new.
I was really surprised by the good acting, the beautiful cinematography, the gripping stories, and the abundance of genres (I don’t know why, but I thought kdramas were only love stories with happy endings…).
Months later, I mustered my courage and registered here on Dramabeans and wrote my first comment. I was surprised by how many beanies responded!
And then, I learnt how fulfilling is commenting with other persons with the same interests, learning interesting things by them and not being judged for my opinions.
So, this little post is a celebration card for my experience as kdrama viewer, but also a thank you message for all of you beanies!
Have a wonderful week end!
As my nick states, I’m new to kdrama world, but I’ve been watched tv shows for, maybe, twenty years. So, I know that rumors and sour and disrespectful comments are unfortunately common towards actors and actresses, but I was very hit by many of them I read (mostly on YouTube) when Encounter/Boyfriend was on air (above all because SHK was a married woman), because of their particular sourness and meanness.
But I don’t want to write about this now. These days I am being really disgusted by the amount of videos YouTube proposes to me about rumors about Song-Song divorce. I can’t believe people use their time to make that kind of videos. Even if it were true, it would be a hurtful and very personal matter. Last year a dear friend of mine was on the edge of divorcing, and it was a very painful situation and even now I am sad thinking the pain she went through.
Probably the first things one thinks about actor/actresses are that they are lucky, or rich, or good-looking, but they are above all persons, that have feelings, bad days and problems as anyone. And I don’t think they are “used to” all this. Surely they are more used to than me or someone that posts a photo or a comment for the first time, but no one is made of wood.
I know this is an “old” matter, and I was unsure if posting this here or not, but it doesn’t stop hitting me.
I hope YouTube algorithm is good enough to understand what the “I’m not interested in” button means.
ya!.. and its disgusting to see how people use the kiss in the drama to be justify their speculation on romance.
I mean, 1) it wasn’t that amazing a kiss 2) what part of profession and professionalism they don’t understand 3) if actors didn’t do their job then they’d be screaming why she is in the drama if she can’t do justice to the role 4) not everyone wants to kiss or be kissed by park bogum.. he is the flashy new toy..many have come and gone as far as celeb crush is considered
Exactly. It’s their job! What a married actress should do? Stay at home and wait to look old enough to be offered the role of the mother or the old aunt?
And you’re perfectly right: if the kiss(es) were worse, there would be comments and comments about her/their bad acting.
imagine if this is what they think of their own society, what they may think of Americans or West.. their women have better opportunities than women elsewhere..atleast they are not judging a married actress on her divorce or kissess..
But, then what this tells us is these folks might be viewing an entire society as something of an object
Thanks for commenting. I understand your point, but at the same time I want to underline that with my post I don’t want to point my finger at a specific country. Judging from photos and/or languages used to write that comments (I didn’t do a deeper research, honestly), they were from lots of countries. And I don’t know the origins of the videos, I don’t open them (that continue showing up anyway, thanks YT algorithm). I want to express my disgust and sadness due to insensitivity and disrespect towards other people. And only for some clicks.
No sorry.. didn’t mean it specific country..
we have had a rape case.. and it was sickening to see the excuse these guys gave pinning it all on what they see in movies.. i shall edit my statement..

Then it turns darker, ripping your heart out, tearing it shreds and then some more. But never fear, after the 32 (33?) episode you’ll feel as if you’ve been reincarnated into a better life, finding your soulmate, solving mysteries, raising teenagers and finally – peace!

I didn’t see what was wrong until I read the episode’s title… Fauxcest mixed with a divorce couple with the ex-wife wanting to have a baby? That could be total makjang.

Just finished watching the 1st ep. of THE WIND BLOWS.
I hated the husband so much! Is he really the lead???

The husband got on my nerves on the first episode and the wife on the second. It’s fair enough, isn’t it?

Same. I just finished the 2nd ep. It was boring… how much time will this fool thing of make-up take?

I loled at the make-up plan. I can’t believe the writer thought it was a good idea. Since the ML has Alzheimer he isn’t going to recognise her at one point anyway but the synopsis says they’re going to get a divorce. Then they meet each other again later and that moment would’ve been better for the make-up thing (with makjang logic à la Temptation of Wife).

I think the make-up plan won’t work (I think there is a hint in the synopsis about the solution the wife will choose), so I am a bit bored by it.

I brushed over the synopsis to be surprised. The make up plan is bound to fail like other characters told the wife. I watched it x2 speed because it doesn’t make sense.

I\’m studying, and every time \”DM\” appears, my brain reads \”Deok-Mi\” instead of \”dermatomyositis\”… 😓

hehehe – I even know what dermatomyositis is as my dad suffered from it.

I first read DM as Diabetes Mellitus but then was like, that’s Deok-Mi before seeing the whole post. 😂😂😂

HER PRIVATE LIFE – EPISODES 7-8
Let’s start with the good: ep.7. How sweet was of Ryan to help Deok-Mi to attend the idol event, and then to look at her fangirling like she was the cutest thing in the world?
And the “finally-speaking dad” was hilarious. Poor thing, I was glad someone paid attention to him and was interested in his stones!
The blind fold thing was a little over the top, but it’s a drama, after all…
Ep.8: I wasn’t mad at the umpteenth delusion, I knew it was too easy and too strange for the real first kiss, so I didn’t mind. The ep. had some good scenes and for a sec. I was like: “Oh! Finally! Two women that like the same man in a drama could become friends! It’s so good!”. No, it wasn’t. Here is the stabbing.
And Eun-Gi was so mean to DM! I’m very disappointed, boy.
I didn’t like the lack of communication between the leads, too, but I was that stupid one time, so I can understand Deok-Mi.
Result: I don’t wait for the next week (even if I’ll watch eventually). So sad they killed the excitement.
p.s. was the title a reference to Boyfriend?

ONE YEAR AS KDRAMA VIEWER
One year ago, I watched the first episode of Temperature of love… and my life as kdrama viewer started (the failing experience with I miss you pilot never happened).
I …

… had found a link to Viki thanks to an Italian article that spoke about kdramas. In that period I was losing interest in western shows, that I had loved for years, because of a lot of reasons. One of them was the fact that I was entertained by them, but I felt nothing watching them or thinking about them. I didn’t want simply to sit down and have time passed. So, I welcomed something new.
I was really surprised by the good acting, the beautiful cinematography, the gripping stories, and the abundance of genres (I don’t know why, but I thought kdramas were only love stories with happy endings…).
Months later, I mustered my courage and registered here on Dramabeans and wrote my first comment. I was surprised by how many beanies responded!
And then, I learnt how fulfilling is commenting with other persons with the same interests, learning interesting things by them and not being judged for my opinions.
So, this little post is a celebration card for my experience as kdrama viewer, but also a thank you message for all of you beanies!
Have a wonderful week end!

VIDEOS YOUTUBE SUGGESTS TO ME
As my nick states, I’m new to kdrama world, but I’ve been watched tv shows for, maybe, twenty years. So, I know that rumors and sour and disrespectful comments are unfortunately common towards actors and actresses, but I was very hit by many of them I read (mostly on YouTube) when Encounter/Boyfriend was on air (above all because SHK was a married woman), because of their particular sourness and meanness.
But I don’t want to write about this now. These days I am being really disgusted by the amount of videos YouTube proposes to me about rumors about Song-Song divorce. I can’t believe people use their time to make that kind of videos. Even if it were true, it would be a hurtful and very personal matter. Last year a dear friend of mine was on the edge of divorcing, and it was a very painful situation and even now I am sad thinking the pain she went through.
Probably the first things one thinks about actor/actresses are that they are lucky, or rich, or good-looking, but they are above all persons, that have feelings, bad days and problems as anyone. And I don’t think they are “used to” all this. Surely they are more used to than me or someone that posts a photo or a comment for the first time, but no one is made of wood.
I know this is an “old” matter, and I was unsure if posting this here or not, but it doesn’t stop hitting me.
I hope YouTube algorithm is good enough to understand what the “I’m not interested in” button means.

ya!.. and its disgusting to see how people use the kiss in the drama to be justify their speculation on romance.
I mean, 1) it wasn’t that amazing a kiss 2) what part of profession and professionalism they don’t understand 3) if actors didn’t do their job then they’d be screaming why she is in the drama if she can’t do justice to the role 4) not everyone wants to kiss or be kissed by park bogum.. he is the flashy new toy..many have come and gone as far as celeb crush is considered

Exactly. It’s their job! What a married actress should do? Stay at home and wait to look old enough to be offered the role of the mother or the old aunt?
And you’re perfectly right: if the kiss(es) were worse, there would be comments and comments about her/their bad acting.

imagine if this is what they think of their own society, what they may think of Americans or West.. their women have better opportunities than women elsewhere..atleast they are not judging a married actress on her divorce or kissess..
But, then what this tells us is these folks might be viewing an entire society as something of an object

Thanks for commenting. I understand your point, but at the same time I want to underline that with my post I don’t want to point my finger at a specific country. Judging from photos and/or languages used to write that comments (I didn’t do a deeper research, honestly), they were from lots of countries. And I don’t know the origins of the videos, I don’t open them (that continue showing up anyway, thanks YT algorithm). I want to express my disgust and sadness due to insensitivity and disrespect towards other people. And only for some clicks.

No need to be sorry, I like exchanging opinions; I only wanted no misunderstandings.
And what?? There are no excuses for such a horrible act!!!!
