My weekly contribution to the Perfect Marriage Revenge Fan Wall Challenge this week are (no surprise to ANYONE) some gifs.

Please do note that I shall be restricting myself to 4-5 a week because, well, my wall, my rules. Please also do note that there’s probably no way I’m going to be able to keep myself under control for the whole six weeks if this drama keeps being this awesome, but I will give myself a Beansprout if I do…and self-awarded Beansprouts are totally allowed and worthwhile.

I have two clips that totally, completely and utterly require sound this week, one will be below and the other will only be available as a link in the comments…but please do know that they are so worthwhile. The sound on this show is just so, so, well, so…so.

And SO, please as Exhibit A herewith below hear the music that quite literally sounds like a Snidely-Whiplash-type silent movie complete with girl tied on the train tracks and man twirling moustache, only here it’s a grown woman being sent to her room roughly by a good-looking evil (I think eventually not evil!) guy in glasses THAT ARE REAL glasses.

Listen, especially, to the BLEWAH!! noise she makes as she is removed from the room. It’s priceless.

    If there’s one thing I learned from watching Song Kang in Nevertheless, it’s that nothing ruins the sexytime mood more than a man who can’t tie a woman’s hair tie for her.

    Luckily for us…Sung Hoon is on the case

        It wasn’t perfect but look how artfully he left a few strands hanging to frame her face.

        Also, a hair aside: In Ep 1 she washes her face and bangs in the gallery bathroom, but the next second she walks out with perfectly arranged dry bangs? Forget the instant water evaporation, this was grave injustice to all of us who’ve struggled styling bangs. They do not fall perfectly like that on their own!

        (Yes, this was the most unrealistic thing I chose to point out in this makjang. 🤣)

            I wrote this somewhere once, and pat came the reply: waterproof makeup! I didn’t quite buy it, but enough to pass it on.

        And a welcome contribution it is! Can we use it to get him that better wardrobe he deserves? Left-handed people are already at a cultural disadvantage…does there also need to be a fashion disadvantage added on????

    AND FINALLY…last but certainly not least are these two sound clips of our ML’s mother saying, in the most hilarious way possible, “왜, WHY???”

    ➡Here’s her saying it within the equally silly dialog.

    ➡Here’s just a clip (on loop) of “왜, WHY???” for your utmost sonic pleasure.

      I can’t pitch this woman’s “Wae, WHY?” strongly enough, folks. It’s gonna become a catchphrase…

    Oh boy oh boy this is awesome. I used FF liberally through the first episode (until the crashes), and I’m not using FF at all in the second episode (33% through). This is FUN, and maybe the perfect watch while sick? If it continues like this, I’ll be happy. My first makjang!!

    Also, re: the car crashes and her airbags not deploying:

        Muahaha!

        I was intrigued when she woke up i the past with her expiration date on the wrist. This is why the show is driving me insane. Such fantastic plot device, and there she goes and got herself locked in a room for a day 🤷🏻‍♀️ (because, yes, of course, the safest place to stay is the home of your murderer… not a friend’s house, that’d be too practical)

          But she was so resourceful with that oxford shirt rope thing to—NOT ESCAPE—but to borrow a phone from a passing kid.

          And, lady, make sure you scold that nice kid for not having their phone charged when you’re done!!!!

      But I have NEVER seen an airbag deploy in a kdrama. I guess putting a PPL car’s logo out there is important enough that they don’t mind reinforcing the idea that you risk severe injury every time you get in one.

        😂 True! I did see one deploy in While You Were Sleeping, but that was part of a plot to set someone up to take the fall for something… 🙄

        in the webtoon she walks into oncoming traffic, not that it matters, but I thought I’d mention. She crossed the road and, as per usual in dramaland, Korean cars are not equipped with brakes.

        They replaced the no-brake-car with a truck of doom, for good measure.

      Oh noooo! You did miss that gorgeous Wae, WHY? mentioned by @attiton
      So completely out of the blue. So full of wtf-ness…
      But, wasn’t she in Don’t Dare to Dream (Jealousy Incarnate with Gong Hyo-jin & Jo Jung-suk) where she had some fun lines too? (and a kinder stylist)

        She had *two* roles in Wok of Love/Greasy Melo.

        Oh, I don’t know about the stylist dig. As far as I’m concerned, the ML’s mom is all about style goals as I get older. Style GOALS.

          I am currently wearing a cardigan that is bright green on one half and grey on the other. I’ve paired it with my aggressively red tartan trousers, and a pair of mismatched socks. Just mentioning for the horrifying mental image.

          Anyway, despite all that, even I found it a tad TOO green. She looks like a vegetable… (while I look like a fashion-denying tramp)

          4
          5

            Admittedly, I have to caveat this. She looks out of place because the majority of outfits do seem like they’ve been plugged at random and thrown at people. Every scene is a clashing canvas of 80s/90s patterns (see that painting collector ajumma) and aggressively monochromatic statement pieces (pink, black, red, green, some level of nude/blush for the FL), so if I am completely honest, scallion mum would look a lot better if the rest of the characters were a little more harmonised.

            But look at HOW MUCH JOY your Veggie Tales green onions have brought people!!!! Obviously, green is the new black.

            5
            0

            Based on the first 2 episodes, I’d say green is the new black, and red is the new black too, and pink is also the new black, and black is now the new black, and puke is the new kiss.

            (on a personal note, I don’t really wear black, so I’m glad about any other colour being the new black… I only dress like I’ve been dipped aggressively into multiple pots of paint at the same time. Also, I’ve got 2 cats and they need less than 12 seconds to turn anything black into a furry grey)

            I can’t believe how much this drama has already taught me! I am a new person, and I cannot wait for the day where I can joyfully vomit on my better half in sign of affection (for some reason, said half is not yet convinced but I remain optimistic)

            My husband once saw two teenagers kissing and throwing up like … for real. When he was that age himself. But allegedly he was not one of them.

            One of Scallion Mom’s two roles in Wok of Love was as the former Onion Queen, right? Maybe her green dress and bulbous hair are a callback.

            I’ve never seen a drama that so completely failed to have a palette. Maybe there is no stylist, set designer, or art director and they just told the cast to go to a thrift shop for whatever they need. The hideous patchwork tweed desk chair in Yi-joo’s bedroom seems to have set the tone for the entire show.

            Also, I said it on your thread and I’ll take a stand here, too: Yi-joo did not actually throw up, she just retched a couple of times. My ability to watch future kisses between the leads depends on this being true.

      As far as I am concerned, that scene is pure gold, sonically and visually. It’s the pinnacle of ridiculous. BLEWAH! She said as she was dragged off by the wrist to her room like a child by a man who’s CLEARLY GOING TO BE HER SAVIOR.

      The SLS has truly begun with me, and it’s with the hot currently-evil-don’t-care-if-he’s-always-evil-but-bet-he-is-a-good-guy secretary.

        I’ve been waiting for him to show kindness to her at some point during those 2 episodes… and he’s the first to orchestrate throwing her under the bus with the fake painting (which ultimately leads to her death) so I was left disappointed. I wanted to take away his glasses and throw them off the nearest window

          I think it was with @kafiyah-bello that I was talking about how, when he replugged in all her life support devices, he handed her the phone with the “CEO” on it—I think that was Do-kuk!!! Evil-not-evil, hot, glasses-that-WORK secretary is muh guy. I can just feel it.

          Even if he is evil, he’s still got allz my attention. 😉

            Don’t let your lust😜 for him overwhelm chingu, I am hoping for your sake he is good, but I think bad secretary is just bad. Why would he be working with Do Guk? But he may surprise.

            @darkcc That’s just what they WANT you to think. I mean why would her father have anything to say to her? This is makjang, right? I think my theory holds more water—Do-kuk (OK, he’s just officially Dunkirk I can’t keep retyping this) needed to cast the spell on her to make her wake up a year in the past or whatever!!!

    We now need @emsel to come in and offer us further makjang takes on what’s been going on here. Why does our milquetoast bad husband have such five-o-clock shadow in the OP video? Who in Korean dramas has stubble?

    Why does the actor who plays the hot Secretary HAVE NO BIO in Asianwiki? Is he even real?

    Is green the new black?
