13
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,400
This has been like kind of a 
long time coming, but I'm so 

14
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,880
glad to finally be here. 
Yes, I'm so glad that you're 

15
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,000
here. 
Like she said. 

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,760
Like she said, it's been a 
really long time coming. 

17
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,400
You were supposed to come on 
last season and then I had to be

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,360
like, let's rain check it 
because I got burnt out and I 

19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,840
just had to. 
I was like, I need to take a 

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,600
break. 
The holidays are coming up and 

21
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,520
we, I'll tell you, we were 
supposed to review another drama

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,760
and it actually has a little bit
to do with the drama that we're 

23
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,520
going. 
To review. 

24
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,800
Yeah. 
So maybe we like the writer. 

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,120
I don't know. 
Yeah, So it's like full circle. 

26
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,760
It comes, comes around, it comes
around full circle.

OK, Are you ready to talk about 

46
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,080
true beauty, Vena? 
I am always, always ready to 

47
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,400
talk about true beauty. 
OK, so we'll start with the My 

48
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,200
Drama List synopsis. 
It reads True Beauty is a 

49
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,640
romantic comedy about a high 
school girl, IMG Yung, who rises

50
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:02,880
to Beauty Girl. 
This synopsis I can't even 

51
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,200
already rises to Pretty Girl 
fame after she masters the art 

52
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,560
of makeup from YouTube, she 
learned. 

53
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,560
What? 
It's great she turns into a 

54
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,800
goddess. 
A goddess because of her makeup 

55
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,480
skills but would rather die than
reveal her bare face to anyone. 

56
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,880
It tells her love story with the
only boy that saw her without 

57
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,760
makeup, East Hall. 
East Hall is an attractive and 

58
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,520
hand attractive and handsome. 
Boy who appears. 

59
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,640
Cold because of his dark past, 
but is actually very caring. 

60
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,320
They grow when they meet each 
other, share their secrets and 

61
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,520
find love with each other. 
But can Sue will make Du Pyong 

62
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:50,120
find her true beauty. 
All right, This was adapted from

63
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,280
a webtoon, as a lot of people 
know or are familiar with it. 

64
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,520
The webtoon is by the same name.
True beauty. 

65
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,600
I want. 
I feel like I'm gonna butcher 

66
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,120
this name. 
But yeah. 

67
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,400
Yeah, it's exactly. 
Yes, Yang Yi. 

68
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,240
And then it aired. 
The show aired from December 

69
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:18,600
2020 to February 2021. 
It is 16 episodes long, and it 

70
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,320
is directed by Kim Sung Yob. 
He's also directed things like 

71
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,080
Melancholia. 
OK, OK, so he directed. 

72
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,440
Extraordinary. 
You didn't write it. 

73
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,400
Directed Extraordinary you. 
So this was the show that we 

74
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,280
were going to review originally.
Amazing. 

75
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,320
Yeah, I love that show. 
It's good. 

76
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,320
It's good. 
I loved it. 

77
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,240
But yeah, we're supposed to, but
it's like 20, just 20/19 was a 

78
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,120
long time ago. 
But this is only 2020 but then. 

79
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,360
I know. 
True Beauty is 2020. 

80
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,840
I know, but like, I don't know, 
Extraordinary You is a bit more 

81
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:58,400
complicated, the storyline, do 
you know what I mean? 

82
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,000
Oh, OK. 
You can remember it forever 

83
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,160
because it's just, you know, 
which is what you get. 

84
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,600
But extraordinary You was a 
little bit more complicated. 

85
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,720
And I was like, I don't even 
really remember exactly what 

86
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,160
happened. 
But it was a great show. 

87
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,280
Loved it. 
And did you watch Melancholia? 

88
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,480
I have not watched Melancholia. 
OK, it it was OK the I don't 

89
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,800
know if you know about it but 
it's like about a student and a 

90
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,560
teacher. 
So it's a little bit. 

91
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,840
Yeah, it sounds. 
Familiar. 

92
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,120
It's a little bit scandalous, 
but I watched it. 

93
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,840
It wasn't that wasn't that 
great, but extraordinary. 

94
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:39,680
You amazing. 
And then it was. 

95
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,600
Yeah. 
Written by Ishiun. 

96
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,480
Did you watch any of this, the 
dramas on her list? 

97
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,640
So hold on, Ishiyan wrote. 
Run away with Sanjay on 

98
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:58,760
Piggyback Top Star U Top, Sorry 
Her Name, Top Star Ubek, Ugly 

99
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,240
Yoga, Season 12, High Kick Three
and all my love for you. 

100
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:08,000
I have not watched any of these.
OK, I tried watching TOP * UBEK 

101
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,880
was not for me. 
It's like a, you know, it's a 

102
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,360
countryside kind of trope like, 
you know, like 2 Countryside 

103
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,680
Girls, 2 Countryside Boys like 
Fall in Love, whatever. 

104
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,200
I couldn't really get into it 
even though I love the cast. 

105
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,680
And High Kick three I think is 
the the highlight here because 

106
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,520
she wrote this is a huge sitcom.
It was like, I don't know, I 

107
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,560
want to say like 150 episodes. 
And I think it was like a she's 

108
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,640
one of the writers. 
Oh yeah. 

109
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,440
So this is probably, like, her 
big step into K drama writing. 

110
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,240
I feel like, 'cause it was huge,
huge, huge, huge. 

111
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,360
You had every single. 
It's kind of like equivalent to 

112
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Disney Club, Mickey Mouse Club, 
you know what I mean? 

113
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,600
So, like, you get all these 
rookie startup, like actors and 

114
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,360
actresses who get their foot in 
the door. 

115
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,480
Yeah, like Yi Jung Zok Ya Yun 
Chun Ya, Shin Sei Yun Ya, all 

116
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,000
these, like, stars starting us. 
So, like, I didn't watch all of 

117
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,520
it, obviously, 'cause it was 
just, it's so many episodes, 

118
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,240
right? 
It's just like, it's like an 

119
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,360
ongoing every week, 30 minute 
episode. 

120
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,360
But yeah, I feel like this is 
the her biggest probably claim 

121
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,000
to fame. 
Oh, and True Beauty, obviously. 

122
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:25,440
I was like, yeah, true Beauty. 
Yeah, exactly. 

123
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,800
So actually, do you know True 
Beauty is the top streamed K 

124
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,080
drama on Vicki of all time? 
No, but that doesn't surprise. 

125
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,240
Me it doesn't? 
No. 

126
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,960
OK, that doesn't. 
I think some people would be 

127
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,280
surprised, but OK, I'm glad 
you're not surprised. 

128
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,520
No, this doesn't surprise me. 
Good, good. 

129
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,680
Good. 
OK, rough to good start. 

130
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,720
OK, so let's talk about our 
cast. 

131
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,640
So we have Munkayung. 
As to Kyung, she's been in the 

132
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,840
interest of love, Most recently 
Link E Love Kill Find Me in Your

133
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,480
Memory Welcome to Waikiki 2. 
Tempted Live Up to Your Name, 

134
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,560
Heartstrings A lot of bit parts.
But she has just kind of wrote 

135
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,520
Risen Up the Ranks because she 
was a child actress starting in 

136
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,360
2007. 
Yeah, she is actually massive 

137
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,920
now. 
She like her following has grown

138
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,720
so much and I'd like to think 
it's mainly because of true 

139
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,240
beauty. 
But she has like over 1,000,000 

140
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,000
followers, which is crazy 
considering like her, you know, 

141
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,000
her dramas aren't like crazy 
popular, you know what I mean? 

142
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,440
And people hate that. 
I actually kind of liked 

143
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,320
interest of love her recent one,
people are love to get angry at 

144
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,520
me about that one, but I thought
she was great in it. 

145
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,400
But I definitely think it was 
true beauty that put her on the 

146
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,200
international map, you know? 
What I mean 100% when I totally 

147
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,160
agree with you that true beauty 
like was the star making role 

148
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,440
for her. 
Yeah, like her other. 

149
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,800
Yeah, her other ones weren't 
that. 

150
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,960
They're yeah, they're not that 
popular. 

151
00:08:59,080 --> 00:08:59,840
Or weren't. 
That. 

152
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,000
Good, I would say. 
Before I had seen her in True 

153
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,520
beauty, I had seen her in 
Tempted from 2018. 

154
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,360
Did you watch the? 
Show I did, 'cause, like, I 

155
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,560
don't know if you watched. 
Have you watched Cruel 

156
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:14,680
Intentions The American Girl? 
Yeah, right. 

157
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:16,640
You know who you're speaking to.
I don't know. 

158
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,160
I don't know what you're like. 
You know, Americans. 

159
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,560
Yeah. 
So I and that it definitely gave

160
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:28,560
off those vibes for me. 
And so I was very, you know, 

161
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:30,760
excited to see it. 
But when I watched. 

162
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,520
It I think it's based on. 
Is it? 

163
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,320
It's what? 
Cruel Intentions is based on, 

164
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,120
which is a French novel, and I 
the name escapes me. 

165
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,280
But yes, OK, so that's why it's 
it's a basically a a. 

166
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,560
Yeah, an adaptation, yeah. 
Remake of it or something, 

167
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:47,840
right. 
But I don't know. 

168
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,760
I I wanted I feel like it could 
have been so much more but I I 

169
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,640
for me I was like Oh no I don't 
really like the way that the the

170
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,960
main couple their relationship 
was going. 

171
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,720
But anyways I did think she was 
when I first saw Herns I feel 

172
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,640
like I didn't remember her and 
live up to your name or 

173
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,520
heartstrings to be honest. 
Like I've watched both of those 

174
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,320
I don't remember her at all in 
it but tempted. 

175
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,080
I obviously remember her and I 
remember thinking like, Oh my 

176
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,480
God, she's like gorgeous, you 
know? 

177
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,000
And. 
Yeah, and unhinged. 

178
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,280
Yes, exactly. 
Which was amazing. 

179
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,960
She yeah, she did it so well. 
But yeah, after that, like, I 

180
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,720
don't feel like she did anything
really, really memorable until 

181
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,760
obviously true beauty, but yeah.
Yeah. 

182
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,400
I love her, though. 
Like true beauty, is her magnum 

183
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,600
opus. 
Even like to this day. 

184
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,440
I hope she can like find another
role though to like I it's going

185
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,000
to be hard though. 
I feel like just because of true

186
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,840
beauty is just so huge 
internationally. 

187
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,080
But I'm hoping, you know, I'm 
hoping that she'll find 

188
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,720
something that's bigger because 
she's she's better than that. 

189
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,600
She's super intelligent and 
elegant, you know what I mean? 

190
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,040
But yeah, I'm hoping that for 
her. 

191
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:04,040
Yeah, and then Chaonu plays 
Suho. 

192
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,120
We all know. 
We all know. 

193
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,280
OK, so he's an idol turned 
actor. 

194
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,840
You might have known him as part
of the group Astro and then he 

195
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,560
has segued into an acting 
career. 

196
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,080
He has been in shows like Hit 
the Top Steve Revenge. 

197
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,680
My idea is Kongam Beauty rookie 
historian Kuhei Yong Island. 

198
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,920
Good day to be a dog. 
This later the show who this 

199
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,760
year he'll be in wonderful 
world. 

200
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,280
Talk to me about Chaungu and how
you feel about this man because 

201
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,520
I said some things online 
recently. 

202
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,200
Did you I? 
OK, well, before we before we 

203
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,480
get to that 'cause I do want. 
To hear, I want to hear your 

204
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,160
opinion first. 
OK what? 

205
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,840
How do you feel about Chaunu? 
Like Chaunu, I probably feel the

206
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,600
same way as a lot of people, 
unless you are a hardcore fan 

207
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:09,920
girl of Chaunu from Astro, but I
I think he's obviously very, 

208
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,520
very good looking, right? 
Oh yeah, he's stunning. 

209
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,240
He's. 
Stunning. 

210
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,000
He's a perfect and they 
obviously call him. 

211
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,240
He has a perfect visual, right? 
If not, I feel like he is the 

212
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,000
best looking Korean celebrity 
right When I see him I don't 

213
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,880
know if acting is his Forte. 
I don't think singing or dancing

214
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,520
is his Forte either. 
But I think because he's so 

215
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,520
smart, because he has like I 
know he's like he's he's got a 

216
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,400
very high cue. 
He speaks English very well. 

217
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,920
To considering like he's never 
studied English. 

218
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:43,280
So I know he's got the brains 
and so for him to have brains 

219
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:48,160
and locks, that's huge, right? 
I don't know if I consider him a

220
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,200
phenomenal actor or a phenomenal
dancer or a singer and that, but

221
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,400
it's OK Like, we can forgive it 
because he's so good looking, 

222
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,000
right? 
Because he's so pretty, he's. 

223
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,240
So pretty. 
But you know what? 

224
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,440
Can I say? 
Something Wonderful World, 

225
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,480
Wonderful World. 
I have a feeling it's gonna show

226
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,880
a totally different side of him 
that I feel like might be like, 

227
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,080
oh, wait a minute, OK, maybe he 
just wasn't doing the right 

228
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,760
genre, you know what I mean? 
Because Wonderful World is a 

229
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,160
melodrama. 
Slash matang kind of a drama. 

230
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Feel like, you know, and there's
a lot of gonna be a lot of 

231
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,240
crying from him. 
There's gonna be a lot of angst 

232
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,880
and emotion. 
It might. 

233
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,320
I don't know. 
I feel like it could be hit or 

234
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,080
miss. 
I'm hoping it'll be a hit. 

235
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:38,680
But yeah, I I totally like. 
I know everyone was saying for 

236
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:40,440
ID Khannam Beauty. 
They're like if you saw ID 

237
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,640
Khannam Beauty, you watch True 
Beauty. 

238
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,240
I don't think that's true at 
all. 

239
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,160
But it is similar. 
He did have similar. 

240
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,120
I don't know should. 
We have this conversation now 

241
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,520
Should we have this 
conversation? 

242
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,280
I don't know. 
OK. 

243
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,120
But anyways, I just wanted to 
mention it, but please tell me 

244
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,720
what you said. 
OK, So what I said and this is 

245
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,880
with all the love in my heart 
because I don't want to. 

246
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,040
I don't wish I'll on him. 
Like I don't say this with any. 

247
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,720
I don't say this with any 
malicious I'm always here to 

248
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,120
have a good time. 
I'm always here to just like I'm

249
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:15,200
so curious so and I introed my 
take which what I did what I've 

250
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,160
been doing on Tiktok Tiktok. 
Yeah. 

251
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,800
Is just posting like rapid fire 
K drama thought, stray K drama 

252
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,160
thoughts that I have and this 
one was pertaining to Child No 

253
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:33,080
and this one was I said. 
Oh God, oh God. 

254
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,400
Already. 
Like I already know it because 

255
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,120
you had me at TikTok. 
If you're doing anything with 

256
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,360
telling you on TikTok. 
It is. 

257
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,120
It's like going into an 
alligator pen at feeding time. 

258
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:52,480
So what I did. 
So I said I know it's stupid. 

259
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,880
So I said again, I didn't. 
What'd you say? 

260
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,920
Just say. 
It so I said, OK, OK, wait, A. 

261
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:09,320
2nd. 
As I said, look, I I love Chao 

262
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,360
and though he's so pretty, he's 
so high. 

263
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,880
I think he's so it's like a 
perfect specimen, but but if he 

264
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,000
doesn't, he doesn't have it by 
now, then he's just never going 

265
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,440
to get it. 
So why don't we just cut our 

266
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,600
losses and give him the modeling
gigs and just stop giving him 

267
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,520
these roles? 
Because by now, he's stealing 

268
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:35,800
roles from other people that are
definitely gunning for these big

269
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,520
tent pole like. 
So you went there? 

270
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,200
Yeah, I did. 
Yeah, I went there. 

271
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,400
So that was basically it. 
That was like, it was like 20 

272
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,600
seconds. 
All hell broke loose in the 

273
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,840
comments. 
It was. 

274
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,720
It was as if I threw a grenade. 
And honestly, I didn't say he 

275
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,480
was. 
I literally did not come out and

276
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,280
say he was a bad actor. 
I just said if he doesn't have 

277
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,720
it by now. 
But people knew. 

278
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,160
What you meant? 
I know, I absolutely I he's done

279
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:09,960
123-4567 roles and what? 
Six years, yeah. 

280
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,440
It's been six years. 
He doesn't have it, OK, I can. 

281
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,520
I can agree with that. 
I totally agree with it. 

282
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,080
He's. 
Been given a lot of chances. 

283
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,000
Did you watch A Good Day to Be a
Dog? 

284
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,000
I did not but. 
Here's what I heard. 

285
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,240
This is, this is something. 
So while while we're here, this 

286
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,800
is something that a lot of 
people were bringing up in the 

287
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,040
comments, Oh people, you're just
doing this for clout to like. 

288
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,840
Yeah. 
OK, relax number one. 

289
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,520
It's second of all people were 
saying. 

290
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,640
It seems like you haven't 
watched all of his projects, so 

291
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,720
I need to have watch all of his 
projects to have an opinion. 

292
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,600
OK, I watched almost all of them
except the sweet revenge one. 

293
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,400
And he was playing a version of 
himself, a fictionalized version

294
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,960
of himself, in sweet revenge. 
And he was actually a delight. 

295
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,720
Oh, is this the short one? 
The West. 

296
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,880
OK, you know what? 
I think I might have watched 

297
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,280
some clips of it on YouTube. 
Yeah. 

298
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,760
OK. 
I do remember this. 

299
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,920
You know what? 
Yes, That's why I I totally 

300
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,160
agree. 
I think you have to be very 

301
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:21,920
objective about this, right? 
It's not that deep. 

302
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,440
It's not that deep. 
It's not. 

303
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,880
That deep he he doesn't have. 
He's not. 

304
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,440
Yeah. 
He's not a natural born actor. 

305
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,280
He is first an idol who became 
an actor and I totally. 

306
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,400
But why? 
Why take away the projects from 

307
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,840
him, Jess? 
I would want him to keep acting 

308
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,000
like just keep doing your thing.
What I'm saying is he's and 

309
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,640
someone said this in the 
comment, I'm like, I'm going to 

310
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,880
use this. 
Someone said he's better in 

311
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,760
print and I was like, Oh my God,
yes, he is so much. 

312
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,160
Better. 
Is she OK? 

313
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,720
You know, I would like him to 
sell me anything he can, just 

314
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:08,560
not a plot. 
I know, I know. 

315
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,280
Sell me cosmetics. 
You know what though? 

316
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,880
We're talking Korea here. 
We're talking the entertainment 

317
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,880
industry. 
Looks will get you so far. 

318
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,720
Oh yeah. 
So far. 

319
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,360
And it's gonna keep he's gonna 
keep riding that wave. 

320
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:28,880
But I honestly, OK, I'm gonna 
give him the benefit of the 

321
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,600
doubt here. 
Wonderful world. 

322
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,680
OK. 
Yeah. 

323
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,960
I am. 
I am hoping for him for that. 

324
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,280
I'm hoping for so many people 
said that to you. 

325
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,640
They were like, let's give him 
one more chance. 

326
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,120
One more chance. 
No. 

327
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,120
But you out of your mind? 
OK, alright, but to be? 

328
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,880
Fair. 
All these other roles were very 

329
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:55,240
like he was very typecasted into
like, this ROM com kind of role.

330
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:00,080
OK, you know what? 
Let's just wait, you're. 

331
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,160
So you're with that commenter. 
That's like. 

332
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,080
I am the several commenters that
I like. 

333
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,680
You know what though? 
If wonderful Will was in the 

334
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,040
picture, I would totally agree 
with you. 

335
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,600
Or, but like would I? 
To the extent of saying no 

336
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,480
dramas, period. 
I don't know. 

337
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,040
I I wouldn't mind seeing him 
here and there, but like a good 

338
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,080
day to be a dog. 
Oh man, that was like, I had 

339
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,480
such high hopes for that one and
it just it was his exact 

340
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,600
character. 
Am I gonna have to lock my doors

341
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,040
after this? 
OK, so it was the exact 

342
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,800
character. 
This is a safe space. 

343
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,760
I can't guarantee what happens 
this airs. 

344
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:37,040
But I'm just saying, you gotta 
be, you gotta be De Lulu to 

345
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:42,160
think that he was not the same 
character in ID Kangnam and True

346
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,400
Beauty and a good day to be a 
dog. 

347
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,440
Thank you. 
And like. 

348
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,120
That's all I. 
Need. 

349
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:48,600
You know what? 
You know what's weird? 

350
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,280
You know, hit the top. 
I don't know if you watched 

351
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,960
that. 
I haven't, but I've seen so many

352
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,600
clips and I'm like, he looks 
like he's doing, he's cooking in

353
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:55,640
that way he was. 
Great. 

354
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,400
And I think it's because, and I 
feel like his vibe was a bit 

355
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,800
different. 
I don't know if it's if it was 

356
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,600
his first role. 
He was just like, oh, I'm just 

357
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,200
going to do it just to do it. 
And like I'm, I'm not an actor, 

358
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,400
so who cares? 
There was. 

359
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,640
Something about it that I was 
like hold on and then everything

360
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,800
after downhill, downhill. 
Yeah, exactly. 

361
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,280
So I have to give him cry for 
hit the Top to be honest because

362
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,840
was very different and. 
I I will agree with you. 

363
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,080
And that's just based on all the
clips that I've seen with him, 

364
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:21,960
yeah. 
There wasn't much of a Mini, to 

365
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,480
be honest. 
Like not. 

366
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,200
The clips that I've seen are 
probably no. 

367
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,480
That is actually pretty 
accurate. 

368
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,760
But yeah, not much to analyze 
there. 

369
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,920
But yeah, he was anyways one. 
Let's give him a chance. 

370
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,960
One more chance. 
OK, wonderful world. 

371
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,920
I have high hopes. 
OK, here is my assessment of him

372
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,920
really fast. 
Is that because because so many 

373
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,120
people like came for my throat, 
I was like, well, maybe let me 

374
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:47,320
stop, take a take a step back. 
So he has. 

375
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,520
This is my assessment of his 
acting. 

376
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,400
Oh God, why? 
Real, real fast. 

377
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,240
Real fast is that Tao Nu has a 
standby mode and it's just 

378
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:04,240
wooden, expressionless Chao Nu. 
Usually everything's going on, 

379
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,040
all house breaking loose. 
He's he could be happy, sad, 

380
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,320
whatever. 
It's the same. 

381
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:15,920
But then when he really is is 
cooking, is when there's an 

382
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,920
emotionally demanding scene. 
That is, he's has to cry. 

383
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:27,080
And then I'm like, OK, there's 
something like he's sad and in 

384
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,560
true beauty. 
There's scenes of that, like 

385
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,040
when he's confronting his dad 
and he gets like heated and 

386
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,080
emotional and he starts crying. 
That's when he's like, Oh my 

387
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,760
God, something. 
You see a. 

388
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,720
Glimmer. 
You see a glimmer of something? 

389
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,120
OK, yeah, yeah. 
So that's exactly how I feel 

390
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,560
about. 
OK, so we're a wonderful. 

391
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,120
World, Yeah, that's exactly how 
I feel. 

392
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:47,520
And I feel like that's why I 
think Wonderful World is going 

393
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,600
to be good for him because 
there's going to, there is a lot

394
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,600
of crying from on his part 
judging from the preview, so. 

395
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,480
Right. 
Yeah. 

396
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,920
Like, I don't know what he taps 
into. 

397
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,200
Yeah. 
But, and then I saw, and then 

398
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,000
because people were invoking a 
good day to Be a dog as being 

399
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,360
like a good outing for him. 
So I watched a bunch of clips of

400
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,560
a good Day to be a dog. 
Yeah. 

401
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:08,960
So that's. 
I'm not. 

402
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,120
I'm not the one that's bringing 
this up. 

403
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,800
The people, the populace, the, 
the trolls on Twitter. 

404
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:14,440
I'm not Twitter. 
The trolls on TikTok. 

405
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,000
So I watched a bunch of clips 
and the ones that really worked 

406
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,000
were the ones where he was 
crying and blubbering and 

407
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,920
emotional. 
And I was like, OK, that's his 

408
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,440
bag. 
Yeah, so that's why I think. 

409
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,280
I think he just. 
Has been. 

410
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,960
He's not a micro expression 
dude. 

411
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,200
Like, he's not the person that's
like, you're believing his 

412
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,800
day-to-day, No? 
OK, give him also like a give 

413
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,000
him a bad boy. 
Role, you know, I want to see 

414
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,920
it. 
Give him a bad boy role where 

415
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,680
he's angry and just hates the 
world and like give him a forget

416
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,480
the drama. 
Maybe give him like a Netflix 

417
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,080
original or like a movie where 
he can swear and stuff, you know

418
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,600
what I mean? 
Yeah, and I think he wants that 

419
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,360
especially. 
Because he just announced he 

420
00:22:56,360 --> 00:22:58,080
could do it, yeah. 
I think he could do it. 

421
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,800
He just announced like his new 
album, right? 

422
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,480
Or a new mini album or something
like that. 

423
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,800
The image is. 
He wants that. 

424
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:09,720
Yeah, I definitely think he is. 
He wants to be a bad boy. 

425
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,240
Yeah, I don't. 
Yeah, he doesn't want this clean

426
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,480
cut look. 
Yeah, So let's just wait because

427
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,800
he he's, I think it's going to 
be a bit of it in Wonderful 

428
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,680
World, Like he rides a 
motorcycle. 

429
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,760
He's got the leather jacket 
going. 

430
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,360
I'm hoping for it. 
So let's hope this is like a 

431
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:28,160
little step into the whole Bad 
Boy Challenge side. 

432
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,840
Because I think so. 
Island was another one that 

433
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,120
people were like this. 
Roland Island was amazing. 

434
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,440
So I watched a bunch of clips of
Island. 

435
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,960
I'm doing my homework here, like
people are like calling me out 

436
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,880
for not watching his shit. 
And I'm like, fine. 

437
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,880
So I watched a bunch of clips of
Island, which I heard wasn't 

438
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,160
that good. 
I'm not going to sit here and 

439
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,120
watch an entire drama just to 
prove your point. 

440
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,720
So watch clips. 
I was like, OK, I see a lot of 

441
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,880
improvement here. 
But again, it's a it's a bad boy

442
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,240
priest, he. 
Does play priest which I thought

443
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,520
was like promising, right. 
Because like bad boy priest. 

444
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,960
Like, that's so out of town 
news, like. 

445
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,080
It's not. 
Yeah. 

446
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,880
Yeah. 
But yeah, I have a whole other 

447
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,440
issue with that drama. 
But yeah, it's. 

448
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,520
No, I'm sure I'm. 
Not going to say yeah, but 

449
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,800
anyways, he. 
But acting, his acting was like 

450
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,280
the whole thing of it. 
But that, that's my take on 

451
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,440
Chalonnu. 
I will not be taking questions 

452
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,000
about it. 
I will. 

453
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,520
Not. 
I think it's fair, though. 

454
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,080
I think it's fair, yeah. 
Like the criticism is fair. 

455
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,920
It's fair. 
It's fair. 

456
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,000
Yeah. 
I totally. 

457
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,920
And I think anyone else would 
agree with you. 

458
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,200
Any other. 
Sorry, like not to Lulu, you 

459
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,720
know what I mean? 
I'd agree with you. 

460
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,480
Yeah. 
Because here's the thing. 

461
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:53,600
Taleno is here because he has 
pretty privilege. 100%. 

462
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,880
And a lot of stars are here 
because they have pretty 

463
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,320
privilege. 
But. 

464
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,720
His looks is what put I hate to 
say it is. 

465
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:06,200
His looks, though, helped propel
Astro's fame. 

466
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,200
Absolutely so. 
And I think even Astro knows 

467
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,920
that to a certain extent. 
And and every time when when 

468
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,080
China first started acting and 
going on variety shows for his 

469
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,920
looks and all and getting 
invited, he was the only one 

470
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,320
right that would get invited, 
which is awful. 

471
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,920
But he even said my goal and 
dream is to make my group 

472
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,200
popular and make my group 
successful. 

473
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,640
And he did it. 
He did the job right because he 

474
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,920
was always loyal to his group, 
right? 

475
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,560
So got to respect that, got to 
respect the hustle. 

476
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,560
He worked hard or didn't work so
hard. 

477
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,000
I don't know. 
Whatever. 

478
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:46,920
All right. 
All right. 

479
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,360
So let's, I guess, let's get 
back on track. 

480
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:51,000
So, like his the second male 
lead of the show, let's talk 

481
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,920
about him so. 
My heart. 

482
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,080
Play Souljun and he's been in 
stuff like Tale of Milk Do 18 

483
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,440
again. 
Sound of Magic Wire 

484
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,960
Prefabricated family. 
So how do you feel about this 

485
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,640
dude he like, is Absolutely. 
Perfection. 

486
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,320
Perfection. 
He's perfection. 

487
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,640
I think he is like, honestly, I 
came for the ROM com vibes and I

488
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,720
honestly like hanging up, stole 
my heart and he still has my 

489
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,800
heart. 
Like he's like, he's one of my 

490
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,200
top, top favorites and true 
beauty. 

491
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,800
You know, I always joke that 
it's the greatest K drama of all

492
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,720
time. 
Do you really? 

493
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,320
Yeah, I kind of joke. 
Not really joking, though, 

494
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,760
right? 
But I'm like kind of like, and 

495
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,800
it's all because of hanging 
yolk. 

496
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,800
Like, I absolutely loved him in 
this role. 

497
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,480
I didn't expect it. 
When I saw it in the previous, 

498
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,600
honestly, I was like, OK, 
whatever. 

499
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,600
It's like, you know, it's a high
school drama. 

500
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,400
How, how much, you know, 
emotionally involved can I get? 

501
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,040
And yeah, he totally won me 
over. 

502
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,000
Wow. 
Everything about him but like 

503
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:09,200
Sound of Magic Wiper. 
Oh God. 

504
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,080
I I mean, he has a bit of a a 
the same thing going as Moon 

505
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,360
Kayong where his best thing is. 
True, I know. 

506
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,760
And I hate to 18 again. 
I don't know. 

507
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,760
I love 18 again and until until 
no dude. 

508
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,120
He was also amazing, but it was 
a very minor role. 

509
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:29,520
But in 18, again, he played a 
similar role. 

510
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:35,840
To be honest, he was like kind 
of like a bad boy bully, but you

511
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,600
know, not as like strong of a 
presence in that drama, but in 

512
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,920
true beauty. 
Yeah, for me, he was the reason 

513
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,080
that the show was so, so good in
my opinion. 

514
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:49,560
And it went. 
From good to great. 

515
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,680
Yeah, I think if if Pineapp 
wasn't in the drama, I have to 

516
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,680
say, I don't know if it would 
be, you know, that great to me 

517
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,760
to be honest. 
I think he brings something, OK,

518
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,120
so he brings something different
because I think he's, he's 

519
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:04,320
older, right? 
He's older than the other two. 

520
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,560
He's in his. 
I think he's much older. 

521
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,720
He's much older, 32, yeah. 31 
He's in his 30s, he got a much 

522
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:18,560
later start than the other 2 and
so I think that he is just 

523
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,360
brings a different vibe to the 
show. 

524
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,360
I liked the edginess of it. 
I think every high school drama 

525
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:29,320
needs a bad boy, right? 
Like, I need some sort of, like 

526
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,280
a a little bit of edge. 
And I think, yeah, I felt like, 

527
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,840
you know, you know, the 
butterflies and the, you know, 

528
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,680
whatever those feels are. 
I didn't get it so much from 

529
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,360
Chaonu as I got it from hanging 
up. 

530
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,440
And I'm being totally biased 
here, and I'm aware of that. 

531
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,760
But yeah, the love lines, the 
love vibes with Chown New and 

532
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,880
Munguang were like, we're cute, 
but I think the scenes with him 

533
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,440
in it were a lot more impactful,
you know? 

534
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,120
So you had second lead syndrome?
Yeah, totally. 

535
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,400
Big time, yeah. 
But like, story of my life, like

536
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,680
always, always. 
I always like, yeah, it's always

537
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,520
a second lead for me. 
But yeah, I I thought he was 

538
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,040
amazing in it. 
But yeah, it is the same thing 

539
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,360
as Munguayang. 
I think this is his biggest 

540
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,080
claim to fame. 
Like his Instagram following 

541
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,520
went from like, it went to like 
from like. 

542
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,560
I think it was under 500,000 
followers because he was a 

543
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,680
hardcore rookie and it went, it 
was catapulted to I think like 9

544
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,720
million in this series alone. 
And I think now he has, like, I 

545
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,480
don't know exactly how many, but
I just remember seeing it, and I

546
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,040
remember seeing it grow. 
And everyone was commenting 

547
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,720
about how insane it was that it 
grew so quickly. 

548
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,120
Yeah. 
And even to the extent where his

549
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:51,320
younger brother was like 
getting, he has like, yeah, my 

550
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,440
God, hang up his 19.5 million 
followers. 

551
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,880
Whoa, yeah. 
Which is insane, right? 

552
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,080
And what has he done? 
For what? 

553
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,200
What has he done for what I 
know? 

554
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,560
Yeah, he he wasn't true beauty. 
Like, that's insane to me. 

555
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,960
Right. 
OK, so when I watched True 

556
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,400
Beauty, I did not get second 
lead syndrome. 

557
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,640
I'm like one of the few that 
didn't get secondly, but I never

558
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,760
almost never get second lead 
syndrome. 

559
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,200
Oh, really? 
OK, so you're the awesome to. 

560
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,880
Me, Yeah. 
So I'm just immune, but I could 

561
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:25,560
say I just thought he was the 
standout of the cast and I love 

562
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:30,040
that bromance that happened 
between him and talent. 

563
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,560
Agree, Agree. 
I did like. 

564
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:37,040
I did like that a lot actually. 
Yeah, I think that was one of 

565
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,840
the highlights like that was I 
put it in my notes actually for 

566
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,920
like the one of the best parts. 
But yeah, maybe we'll get to 

567
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,720
that after, but the bromance for
sure. 

568
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,920
Was well, let's get to it now. 
Like, what were some of the best

569
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,560
parts of the show for you? 
Like this I guess goes we 

570
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,720
already know that you love the 
show. 

571
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,080
So I'm not going to ask you like
what do you think of the show 

572
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
greatest, but what were some of 
the best parts for you? 

573
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,920
So for the best parts for OK, 
obviously it was a hanging Yelp 

574
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:07,360
scenes. 
I I liked all the little, I 

575
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,440
don't know if we're gonna go 
like super detailed. 

576
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,280
But there were certain scenes 
where where hanging up was like 

577
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,360
going to confess to Mungayang, 
like they were eating food and 

578
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,840
then he wanted to say something.
And she was kind of like, you 

579
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,520
know, oblivious to it, you know,
those little parts also when 

580
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,000
they're doing the photo shoot 
and they're getting really close

581
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,160
with her. 
And then, you know, he's like, 

582
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,160
obviously, like totally in love 
with her. 

583
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,000
No, he's whipped. 
Yeah, and like just like, yeah, 

584
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,840
everything about that whole 
relationship, you know when she 

585
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,120
was doing the, when he first 
fell in love with her, the whole

586
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,760
like RAR, you know, like he was,
she was like a sake, she was 

587
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,200
making fun of his underwear and 
she was doing the tiger sounds 

588
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,520
and then he like totally fell in
love with her and he's like, can

589
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,240
you do it again? 
Then he's asking for it. 

590
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,720
Yeah. 
And I was like, oh, it's just so

591
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:58,640
sweet. 
You know? 

592
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,080
There isn't anything like that 
with Mungayang and Chow Nu's 

593
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,520
character. 
Inside jokes. 

594
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,880
Yeah. 
And even at the end when he's, 

595
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,160
like saying, oh, when he, like, 
kind of decides to, like, let 

596
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,880
her go, I just felt so much more
emotional about it, you know? 

597
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,320
But yeah, so like, all obviously
the highlights were that. 

598
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,440
But I also loved. 
I don't know if you remember 

599
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,520
means him these characters. 
So it's like her sister 

600
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,560
Yungayung sister. 
Yeah. 

601
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,400
I it was. 
She's the best. 

602
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,280
Yeah. 
I love her. 

603
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,840
I did another video of of her 
about her on TikTok because I 

604
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,280
think she's such a highlight. 
Love. 

605
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,280
OK, so like, after the show 
aired, I I remember I did some 

606
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,280
sort of, like live on my on my 
Instagram, and I was totally 

607
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,280
riding the emotional wave. 
But I put her as like one of my 

608
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,560
top five favorite Korean 
actresses, Just 'cause I think 

609
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,360
she's so like, I feel like she's
just like a ray of sunshine in 

610
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,240
the drama. 
I appreciated her romance. 

611
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,000
I it was a little goofy and it 
was a little, The whole show was

612
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,040
silly. 
It was, it was like, put the 

613
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,360
eyebrows, though, with the guy 
with her, you know, her love 

614
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,480
interest. 
Was embarrassed, was embarrassed

615
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,360
because his eyebrows were non 
existent, basically. 

616
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,920
And so he had to get a tattooed,
right? 

617
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:14,960
I don't know. 
I was like, what? 

618
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,240
What is this? 
Yeah, yeah. 

619
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,400
But I loved her like how she was
so open with her love for him. 

620
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,680
And she was so she was the one 
chasing him, right? 

621
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,800
Yeah, the. 
Gender flaw? 

622
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,280
Exactly, exactly So I loved, 
loved, loved her character. 

623
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,560
So she was a highlight for me 
for sure in the series. 

624
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,280
Yeah, like, she changes this 
tire and she's very, she's sort 

625
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,000
of forthcoming and she knows 
what she wants and she's a go 

626
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,720
getter. 
And she has this wonderful, 

627
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,440
thriving career. 
And she had no beef with her 

628
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:49,040
younger sister, loved her 
unconditionally and sort of was 

629
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,000
a nice addition to the family 
that was like no animosity 

630
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,640
there. 
And I love that about the sister

631
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,360
that she was just like. 
No issues. 

632
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,480
Also like when she would show up
drunk and like you know and chow

633
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,080
and it was like what's wrong 
with your sister? 

634
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:08,400
Like this is so so like reckless
but like, yeah, I I appreciated 

635
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,600
her character was so down to 
earth. 

636
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:11,440
But yeah it was it was, it was 
good to see. 

637
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,880
I also liked her father. 
The role really, I kind of did 

638
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:22,120
because it was, it was kind of a
reflection of what she was going

639
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,880
through. 
Like because he was supposed to 

640
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,159
be the eye candy. 
Yeah. 

641
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:27,600
Out of the him and the mom, 
right. 

642
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,880
The mom is supposed to be the 
non quote UN quote ugly. 

643
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,400
Yeah, quote UN quote ugly one. 
And he's like all the women 

644
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,800
think he's so good looking. 
So I was like, this is kind of 

645
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,880
like what the daughter's going 
through, right. 

646
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,600
Because she's with this really, 
really handsome guy who like 

647
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,000
loves her unconditionally. 
I don't know. 

648
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,040
I just thought it was really 
cute. 

649
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,840
But I liked, I like Paco Zan, 
though. 

650
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,600
Like, I like his him as an 
actor, and he usually plays like

651
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:53,639
kind of more edgier roles. 
So this was very, very. 

652
00:34:53,639 --> 00:34:56,159
He was, oh God, what's he? 
Prison Playbook. 

653
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,080
Yes, he was with. 
The list with the list, yeah. 

654
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:06,400
And then I think, was he a 
brother in my Mr. in the 

655
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,000
Brothers? 
Oh, he was, Yes. 

656
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,160
Yes, that was. 
That was also a big one. 

657
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,360
I forgot about that one. 
Yeah. 

658
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:18,240
I really like him a lot. 
So for me a lot of the same 

659
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:23,640
stuff for me. 
But let me see, I had like there

660
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,920
was a lot of scenes in like like
obviously the the second male 

661
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,280
lead rocking out and his boxers 
in the bathrobe to Okie Dokie O 

662
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:40,280
like that's iconic and funny. 
The This sounds terrible, but I 

663
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:47,440
think it's Episode 10 them 
getting hit by the car Or is it?

664
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,680
Is it a car or bus? 
I vaguely remember that, yeah, 

665
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:52,120
that's why they ended up in the 
hospital. 

666
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,560
That's why they ended up in the 
hospital. 

667
00:35:54,160 --> 00:36:00,040
That is hysterical. 
To me, OK, yeah, I thought it 

668
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,800
was cute with them in the 
hospital, like how they had to 

669
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:03,400
help. 
Each other. 

670
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,120
Oh, my God, We're going into 
spoiler chair. 

671
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,840
Hold on, hold on, are we? 
Sorry. 

672
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
So, no, no, no, I know. 

673
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:11,720
So what we'll do is we're gonna 
pick back up right here after 

674
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:13,160
the spoiler bumper. 
OK, OK, OK. 

675
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,520
But but why don't you give me 
your your score? 

676
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,640
Like out of five soju bottles? 
Like, how? 

677
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:22,280
What would you rate true beauty?
I think I know the answer. 

678
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,720
You know what though? 
OK, I have this thing OK where I

679
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,240
I have my favorite K dramas of 
all time. 

680
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,680
I have with like my favorite 
traumas of all time from my 

681
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,000
heart. 
From your heart, OK. 

682
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,880
And then from like realistic, 
like from my head, you know, 

683
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,640
like. 
I know I'm following you. 

684
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:44,160
Do you get? 
What? 

685
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,360
I mean like I have the ones that
I'm like, oh, these are 

686
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,760
masterpieces. 
Like perfectly done. 

687
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,880
Can I wash them again? 
No, never. 

688
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,800
Once was enough. 
But it was absolute perfection. 

689
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,400
And then I have from my heart 
where I'm like, I love this 

690
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,200
drama for no reason. 
It's not that deep. 

691
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,640
Like, everyone will disagree 
with me, but I still like, I 

692
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,640
will recommend it till the end. 
You know what I mean? 

693
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:16,520
Like, so if I had to be totally 
from my heart, it would be, 

694
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,040
yeah, give it, give it five out 
of, give it 10 out of five, 

695
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,640
right. 
Like, it's the greatest. 

696
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:24,680
Like I said, it's the greatest K
drama of all time. 

697
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaking from my heart, right. 
And this is from somebody who's 

698
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:34,800
watched K dramas since the day I
could walk because of my mom, 

699
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,600
right? 
So, like, I've watched crap ton 

700
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,560
of K dramas. 
But again, a lot of it has to do

701
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,320
with my infatuation with hanging
up, right? 

702
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:48,160
But yes, five out of five. 
But like, and it's not that 

703
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,960
deep. 
So if I had to like grade it 

704
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,320
from my, like, you know, 
rational standpoint, I'd still 

705
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,600
give it still like a four 4.5 
out of five, OK, you know? 

706
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,320
What I mean So for me, I this 
when I watched it, I really 

707
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,680
liked it. 
It came after I watched Move to 

708
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,880
Heaven, so I really needed a 
light K drama. 

709
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,000
Wow, that's perfect. 
I feel like that's a perfect, 

710
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,200
like balance. 
So I've watched it. 

711
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:10,080
Yeah. 
So I watched it. 

712
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,880
And I was like, oh, this is 
like, just what I needed. 

713
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,080
I needed like a turn your brain 
off K drama. 

714
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,560
And that's what this is. 
However I can, I have to be 

715
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,680
honest. 
Like, now that we're here and 

716
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,920
we're being honest and I just 
like Roasted Child. 

717
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:29,120
Though it took me 3 days to 
rewatch episode one. 

718
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,440
Oh, OK. 
So I cannot say that this is 

719
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,400
rewatchable for me. 
I don't think that this is a 

720
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,200
favorite of mine at all. 
When I'm recommending dramas to 

721
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,040
people, I almost never recommend
true beauty. 

722
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:51,560
And I can positively nailed down
all the flaws that are like and 

723
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,800
I will name the flaws actually 
like when we get into the 

724
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,440
spoiler section too, if you'll 
allow me. 

725
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,840
Yeah, I actually have a couple 
too. 

726
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,800
OK, perfect. 
So we'll have like a little 

727
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,400
section where we can roast your 
beauty for like a couple of 

728
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:02,840
minutes. 
Yeah. 

729
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,880
So I will say that it for me 
it's like a 3 1/2. 

730
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:09,240
OK. 
That's not fair. 

731
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,240
Yeah, three and a. 
Half pair. 

732
00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:12,960
Yeah. 
And you know what's funny? 

733
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,840
I get it. 
Yeah, like it. 

734
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:15,640
It's fine. 
Like I. 

735
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,520
Get it? 
Yeah, I totally get it. 

736
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:23,680
Yeah, yeah, so that's me. 
But we are going to pick up on 

737
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:28,800
the car crash right after this. 
Excuse me. 

738
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,720
I can't turn. 
I can't turn up. 

739
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,120
Yeah, No. 
I have no tango. 

740
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,040
Oh, sorry. 
Swear this crossing. 

741
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:37,640
Shit. 
What? 

742
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,480
OK, we're on the other side of 
spoilers, so anything goes. 

743
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,120
Anything went before 'cause I 
think we just kind of figured 

744
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,160
everybody, everyone and their 
mom has seen true beauty. 

745
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,760
So this is kind of a free 
flowing episode. 

746
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,320
It is definitely a Kay rambles 
this time around. 

747
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,920
But what I found hysterical was 
that car crash scene because 

748
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:05,160
they had, they put them on I 
think wires and telling them was

749
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,840
like he had his back arched and 
he was flying through the air. 

750
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,000
Oh my God. 
Hysterical. 

751
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,680
I could not get enough of that 
scene. 

752
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:21,080
It's so stupid it. 
Is I actually like I think I 

753
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:26,520
remember seeing the behind the 
scenes and I remember thinking 

754
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:31,400
oh I didn't remember being that 
like I don't like that dramatic 

755
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,760
do. 
You know what I mean? 

756
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,240
But it came out of nowhere, 
right? 

757
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:38,480
Like the dramatic nature of it, 
it literally came out of nowhere

758
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,560
and that's why it took a lot of 
people by surprise. 

759
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:45,200
And it it's totally, totally 
different from this, like the 

760
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,880
rest of the show. 
It is very different but the 

761
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,840
after effects of it. 
No, because then you have these 

762
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,920
great hospital scenes and more 
bromance between the two of 

763
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,520
them, Sojun and Suo. 
And there's that scene, My 

764
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:05,120
favorite one of them too in the 
hospital is I think it was. 

765
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,280
I was doubled over laughing when
soju needs to, he needs help to 

766
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,800
pee. 
And Sewell like he jumps on the 

767
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,200
phone as if to call for a 
nurse's help, like to get a 

768
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,840
nurse to help him to pee, but 
instead he dead ass requests to 

769
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:24,480
have his room changed. 
And I was like, Oh my God. 

770
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,160
I didn't even pick up on that. 
So you were like, you're led to 

771
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,560
believe that he's asking for 
help, but he's like, you got to 

772
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,520
Get Me Out of here. 
He's like, can I get my room, 

773
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,160
Jake? 
I was like, Oh my God, that's so

774
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,960
good. 
But also not surprising 

775
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,560
considering no. 
Yeah. 

776
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:39,160
No. 
Yeah. 

777
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:40,560
No. 
So, yeah. 

778
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,480
So you had the hospital 
reconciliation. 

779
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,080
You have high jinks, I think. 
I think the female leader also 

780
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,960
like hides under his cover like.
Oh yeah, that's right. 

781
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,000
Cover. 
I remember that. 

782
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,880
Point Yeah. 
So that's all in there as well. 

783
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,160
Mm hmm. 
There's a cameo like early in 

784
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:03,480
episode 4 from the. 
It was like Ichiuk and Kimayun 

785
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,160
from Extraordinary UI. 
Remember that? 

786
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,360
Yeah. 
And they're in character from 

787
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,600
Extraordinary U as well. 
So that was fun. 

788
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,400
Because of the director. 
Yeah, OK, same director. 

789
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,720
So that makes a lot of sense. 
What other comedy is there? 

790
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:22,280
Those. 
Oh, she did like a huasa dance 

791
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,600
early on in the show. 
I don't remember that for some 

792
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,520
reason. 
She she thought she was on some 

793
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,680
sort of like an elimination. 
No, not like a a talent show. 

794
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,200
OK. 
But she ended up dancing in 

795
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,840
front of the teachers and it was
like a very sensual. 

796
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,480
I I don't know why I do know. 
I remember that. 

797
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:45,480
Oh, OK, so this happened like 
early on in the show? 

798
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,280
For some reason it doesn't ring 
a bell, but. 

799
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Oops. 

800
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,560
Yeah. 
And I mean, there's a lot of 

801
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,080
comedy. 
Like, even in episode one, 

802
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:59,200
there's a ton of things. 
There is like, I feel like there

803
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:04,920
was a lot of stuff that was very
over the top that it's so it 

804
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,880
didn't really surprise me. 
But I know this is like totally 

805
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,520
not about the comedy part, but 
like the 1 downer I feel like. 

806
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,520
One downer I will. 
When we get into the roasting of

807
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,920
this, I feel like there's a lot 
of down. 

808
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,280
I have one main one, but OK, all
right. 

809
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,240
OK, go. 
We'll get there. 

810
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:23,720
Go. 
For it. 

811
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:24,960
Yeah, it's fine. 
It's fine, OK. 

812
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,160
So like, my my thing is like, I 
really didn't like the 

813
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,560
Mungayong's friend Chung's 
friend Kung Zujin. 

814
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,920
So she's like she was the 
overture. 

815
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,320
Was it the natural beauty? 
Yeah, I guess so, I guess. 

816
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,280
I did air quotes when I said 
that no one can see that, but I 

817
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,920
did air quotes. 
But yeah, the one that she liked

818
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,680
Suho as well and she was always 
competing with Suho because she 

819
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,400
was getting you know crapped on 
by her dad at home, right. 

820
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:53,520
We're not getting good enough 
grades. 

821
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,240
I I did not like her character 
and I thought she was like 

822
00:43:57,240 --> 00:44:00,400
ruining the whole feel good vibe
of the show. 

823
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:03,320
Like, I just. 
I'm so sick of the girl best 

824
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,200
friends. 
Like being turning out to be so,

825
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,680
like, not great. 
You know what I mean? 

826
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:09,600
It's a. 
Cliche. 

827
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,720
It's a cliche. 
I don't like it. 

828
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:15,240
I feel like, why does she have 
to be so mean to everybody else 

829
00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:17,640
if she's going on through, like 
going through all this stuff in 

830
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,440
real life? 
I just wanted to be the 

831
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,880
supportive, like really good 
best friend, you know, like. 

832
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,080
And it was just sad to see that,
you know, she was trying, you 

833
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,120
know how she took Isuo's cap or 
whatever. 

834
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,560
And then like hugging or not 
really hugging, but like there 

835
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,560
were, you know? 
Yeah, she was like, actively 

836
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,960
trying to get. 
Get with him, yeah. 

837
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,040
And to separate them and a 
foster miscommunication. 

838
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,800
And exactly. 
That he was like, close to her 

839
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,280
and all of this stuff. 
Right. 

840
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,960
And I was like, this is just not
a girl's girl. 

841
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,360
And not like, Oh yeah, she's not
a girl's girl. 

842
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,760
No, I just. 
I didn't like that at all. 

843
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,960
So that was frustrating. 
And then she's the one who blows

844
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:06,000
a little out, blows the lid open
on the secret that she is A2 

845
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,600
faced person that junky on has. 
Oh. 

846
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:10,840
Right. 
That's right. 

847
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,040
At the camp or whatever I think 
it was. 

848
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,640
Was it happening? 
I thought she like, posted to 

849
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:16,880
the forum. 
Oh yeah. 

850
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:17,920
OK, OK. 
OK. 

851
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,440
Of her getting bullied. 
Yeah. 

852
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:24,000
At the first school. 
And so now everyone knows that 

853
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,120
she's. 
This doesn't make sense. 

854
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,400
That literally doesn't make 
sense that people are upset that

855
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:35,080
she's wearing makeup. 
They're like, you're lying. 

856
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,520
It's makeup. 
I know, but like. 

857
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,640
A lot of the stuff here in this 
show was like, are you serious 

858
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,400
Like. 
Oh, no, it's it's. 

859
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,080
It's like a Clark Kent, the 
Superman thing. 

860
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,640
It's like, OK, glasses with 
glasses, without glasses. 

861
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,200
And it's like, for real. 
Like, for real. 

862
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:54,760
Yeah. 
And it's like they're like you 

863
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,600
have. 
Bad skin and you lied about it. 

864
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,800
It's like. 
Did I? 

865
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,240
Yeah. 
And also, like without, you 

866
00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:04,960
know, people with acne probably 
know, but you can have hundreds 

867
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,280
of pounds of makeup on your 
face. 

868
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,840
You're still going to see acne, 
right? 

869
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,280
Like the? 
The texture. 

870
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:10,480
Thing. 
Yeah, exactly. 

871
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,560
But for her, it's like 
photoshopped. 

872
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,120
It's magically gone, right? 
I'm like, I don't care how good 

873
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,880
you are at makeup. 
It's not, you know, so. 

874
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,280
Don't work like that, babes, You
know? 

875
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,840
OK, so I guess we're we're 
veering into this territory 

876
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,080
anyway, but like, what are some 
of the problems that you have? 

877
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,000
What's the true beauty? 
So, you know, I don't have that 

878
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,480
many issues with it. 
And I did mention the whole 

879
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,400
sister, the sismance, like not 
being there. 

880
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,600
Another very, very, very small 
small thing. 

881
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,000
I didn't like the soundtrack, 
like, or I didn't care. 

882
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,320
I didn't, I didn't care for the 
soundtrack, sorry. 

883
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,120
Not that I didn't like it. 
I loved I loved Sojun singing 

884
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,640
like hanging UPS. 
You know that song and I 

885
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,560
remember playing it over. 
He does. 

886
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,400
It's fantastic perfection. 
He can do no wrong. 

887
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:05,160
But the overall OST I it's not 
something I listen to like I've 

888
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,760
never gone back to it to be like
or if I were to hear you know 

889
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,040
how like certain OST you hear 
the beginning and you're like oh

890
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,600
you know like Goblin is. 
Takes you right back. 

891
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,200
Yeah, huge, right? 
It's like monumental, right? 

892
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,520
For this, there's not a single 
song where I can hear the first 

893
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,880
few notes and be like, what? 
What is this like? 

894
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,840
I'd be like, Oh my God, this is 
true beauty. 

895
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,560
I feel like they could have 
invested a bit more on the 

896
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,320
soundtrack, a little bit and it 
could have like or like. 

897
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,560
It adds to the scenes like none 
of that, you know, Like, I just,

898
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,640
I felt like it was lacking in 
that sense. 

899
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,800
And I don't know this is a total
like nitpick, but. 

900
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,240
No, no. 
Like, I'm a nitpick queen and 

901
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:45,480
I'll roast everything. 
Like, I people know this by now,

902
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,280
but I'm an equal opportunity 
roaster. 

903
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,160
I will roast. 
Everything like my favorites, 

904
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,400
things that I. 
Oh, I'm like that too though. 

905
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,120
Plus, like the things that I 
absolutely love. 

906
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,760
I can roast everything. 
I can roast my ultimate bias, 

907
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,520
which is home drinky till, like,
the cows come home. 

908
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,560
I can do it all week. 
Like I can roast them. 

909
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,840
Yeah, I can tell that's a whole 
other episode. 

910
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,400
This is this is maturity. 
It is. 

911
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,160
It is, you know. 
Yeah, it is. 

912
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:10,480
It totally is. 
I I can't. 

913
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,440
I can't. 
I don't vibe with people who are

914
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:17,440
who think their bias or favorite
group is perfect. 

915
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,000
Oh yeah, because it it doesn't 
exist. 

916
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,280
Right. 
And but there's been certain 

917
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,520
situations where I've been like,
Oh my God, these people are 

918
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,160
these certain fandoms are crazy 
where they think that you know. 

919
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:32,600
But that's for another another 
episode. 

920
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:34,440
Yeah. 
Another. 

921
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,200
Another. 
Yep. 

922
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,720
No, we'll leave that for another
day. 

923
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,920
So let's talk about how I think 
true beauty is overrated. 

924
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,160
So the I didn't think that. 
Come on. 

925
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,520
We'll just leave it at that. 
We'll just leave it at that, but

926
00:48:49,720 --> 00:48:51,000
it's. 
Underrated. 

927
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,320
I'm kidding. 
I OK, so I don't like how Ju 

928
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:04,280
Kyung is, or rather, Mung 
Kyung's portrayal of the female 

929
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,960
lead. 
She sounded Ikio like the whole 

930
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,960
time. 
OK, I do agree. 

931
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,400
I hated the baby boy she kept. 
Grazing. 

932
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:14,920
As if she was a little girl. 
I just hated it. 

933
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,240
Hated it, hated it. 
It is so grinding and it's 16 

934
00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:20,360
episodes long. 
Why is it 16 episodes? 

935
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:24,160
It could have been 12 the last 
two episodes. 

936
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,840
What the hell is going on in 
those filler episodes we got to 

937
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,800
talk about? 
I mean, I don't know if we have 

938
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,600
to necessarily sit here and like
dissect it, but the whole thing 

939
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,320
of Sewell's father having a 
sudden stroke which sends him 

940
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,040
flying off the scene literally, 
plus the two year time jump 

941
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,920
radio silence for two years. 
From Can I? 

942
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,320
Let me give you some context 
though. 

943
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,040
This the web, so you know it was
a web tune. 

944
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,000
Yeah, it is so long. 
No, it's long. 

945
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,520
It was ongoing. 
It was. 

946
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:55,760
Ongoing. 
Scary. 

947
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,520
Yeah, I think it ended recently.
I'm pretty sure it was like it 

948
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,840
ended recently. 
There are some things that I 

949
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,400
found out recently because I was
talking about to some drama 

950
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,280
friends about true beauty and 
they so one of them had read the

951
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,560
Rep the web tune and they told 
me some things and I was 

952
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,080
shocked, shocked, shocked to my 
core. 

953
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:20,680
So Suho is gone for two years 
and I was saying how the hell 

954
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,720
does the second male lead and 
true beauty blow A2 year lead? 

955
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,760
Yeah, I know. 
I know. 

956
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,200
How? 
The hell does he blow A2 year 

957
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:28,040
lead? 
It's not real it all. 

958
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,800
Happens. 
It's not realistic that they 

959
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,880
never they never get together. 
And just when Suo comes back is 

960
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:37,160
when he finally works up the 
nerve to confess to Jew kill. 

961
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:41,240
That doesn't make a lick of 
sense, so my friend said. 

962
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,560
But they do date in the. 
Oh, that's right. 

963
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:47,960
They do date. 
I do remember. 

964
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,360
When Suho is gone. 
Yes, yes. 

965
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,440
They date and I was like I was 
on the. 

966
00:50:52,720 --> 00:50:55,520
I like sliding down the walls. 
I was like, this changes 

967
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,280
everything. 
This changes everything. 

968
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,400
Why the hell wouldn't they do 
that in the show? 

969
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:07,800
I know, I I feel like for drama 
writers, it's just that that one

970
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,040
factor of the second lead can 
never be with the female lead. 

971
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,120
It literally. 
It didn't make sense to me. 

972
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,040
It's the. 
Formula, you know, because they.

973
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:20,800
Made it so easy for you to push 
it in that direction because he 

974
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,680
was already buddy buddy with the
family. 

975
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,240
I think he was sleeping over her
house or something like that, 

976
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:30,800
like he was in ingrained. 
I'm I would have been here for 

977
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:32,720
it totally. 
But I do remember, because I was

978
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:34,560
so obsessed with the drama, I 
went online and I read the 

979
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,440
webtoon. 
And then I read it for a bit 

980
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,120
after the show. 
And I was like, oh, OK, so I 

981
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,840
don't know, Like, I know that 
there were certain things that 

982
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,040
they didn't incorporate, but I 
think they needed a foreclosure.

983
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,520
No, for the They couldn't have 
like, Oh yeah, unless they did 

984
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,520
another season or which I would 
have been here for, you wouldn't

985
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,200
have, but I would have been here
for another. 

986
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,360
It just didn't like. 
I think it could have been 12 

987
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,080
episodes and you could have kept
that giant ass like they dated 

988
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,120
for two, for two years or or for
some. 

989
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,560
Don't you think you would have 
had to like prolong though? 

990
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,200
Like a longer? 
More episodes? 

991
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,520
No, just one episode you needed 
of them dating. 

992
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:08,600
Yeah. 
OK, that's. 

993
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,240
Fair of her. 
Kind of like you see their 

994
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:13,640
relationship and how she's maybe
she's with him, but she's not 

995
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,800
like with him, with him like she
is with Suo. 

996
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,760
And you see like the differences
in there, how they comport 

997
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,320
themselves together. 
You do get a glimpse of it, you 

998
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,560
know, when she's drunk and all 
the friends. 

999
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,960
Call him. 
And he shows up, and there's. 

1000
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,120
That and that's when you think, 
Oh my God, they're together. 

1001
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,520
That was the cliffhanger because
they had the episode. 

1002
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,240
And then she, like, leans on 
him. 

1003
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:34,680
Yeah. 
He has like his arm around her. 

1004
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,480
And she leans on him. 
Yes. 

1005
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,600
And then she, like, looks up at 
him like, and they're about to 

1006
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,360
like it looks like they're about
to kiss or something. 

1007
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,680
And then, like, yeah, I told her
I remember that it was. 

1008
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,400
A So then they were like, 
psyched They're not together. 

1009
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,280
Psyched. 
He still hasn't confessed to 

1010
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,120
her. 
He's still in the friend zone. 

1011
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,360
And you're like, what the what 
is this even like? 

1012
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,840
It's just all over the place. 
So in the webtoon they were 

1013
00:52:55,840 --> 00:53:01,720
actually dating the there was 
like a YouTube, like a famous 

1014
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:04,480
YouTube that she learned all of 
her makeup prowess from. 

1015
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:09,560
OK. 
I think her name was Selena, and

1016
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,360
at the end of the show she's 
like working for that brand, for

1017
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:18,640
the makeup brand. 
OK, that is Suho's sister in the

1018
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,400
webtoon. 
In like real life or. 

1019
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:27,040
In the webtoon. 
Oh, that like that woman. 

1020
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,040
That oh, the younger sister. 
The younger sister. 

1021
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:34,520
Is Suho's sister. 
And I was like, Oh my God again,

1022
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,280
that blew my mind. 
And I was like, why? 

1023
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,160
Why don't we do that? 
Why don't? 

1024
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,960
Why don't we have that? 
Because in the drama, true Young

1025
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,360
does her makeup and makes her 
kind of like pretty and stuff 

1026
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:48,720
right in the drama. 
No, I'm saying suho like Taunu. 

1027
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,160
Oh, wait a minute. 
He didn't have a sister in the 

1028
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,120
drama. 
Exactly. 

1029
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,200
OK, but no way. 
Now I'm thinking a Sojun sister 

1030
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,800
would have made more sense, no? 
No. 

1031
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:00,720
No. 
OK. 

1032
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:01,160
OK. 
OK. 

1033
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,720
Anyway, Sojun had the younger 
sister who was also struggling 

1034
00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:05,920
with acne. 
And right right image issues. 

1035
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,080
And was also getting bullied. 
But wouldn't have made more 

1036
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,520
sense for her to grow up and 
start this huge thing and then 

1037
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,840
like, OK, OK, because Sue, 
that's so random. 

1038
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,520
Suho's sister like having a 
makeup. 

1039
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,480
Yeah, that Suho's sister was the
one that had this, like, beauty 

1040
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,640
empire. 
OK, that helped like. 

1041
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,400
Find her. 
Look, yeah. 

1042
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:26,960
Yes. 
Right, OK. 

1043
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,120
And so you wanted that, you wish
they had that in. 

1044
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:30,280
Drama. 
I was like, what? 

1045
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,280
Why are we doing these 
misconnections? 

1046
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:37,160
So that was another thing. 
And then the other thing I think

1047
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:44,160
was like, why is the stunningly 
beautiful channel News doesn't 

1048
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,600
care about? 
Looks like he's like an anomaly 

1049
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,520
that he does not give a shit 
about looks. 

1050
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,920
And for the second male lead you
have an explanation. 

1051
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,200
Like his sister is also 
struggling with body image 

1052
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,240
issues. 
He has this like adorable sister

1053
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:01,760
who also has acne and he loves 
her to death and he has no 

1054
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,080
issues with that. 
And so that you can see how that

1055
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,760
affects his reasoning and that 
how he views other people, how 

1056
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,680
he views to kill for a Talanu, 
there's no such thing. 

1057
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:14,880
And in fact, he's buddy, buddy 
with like idols. 

1058
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,960
So you've kind of should think 
that he has more emphasis on how

1059
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:19,920
people should look. 
I see. 

1060
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,000
OK. 
So you don't think it's 

1061
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,560
realistic that? 
He That's not realistic. 

1062
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:27,040
But in the webtoon they they 
explain it. 

1063
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,600
They explain it all. 
He is his background. 

1064
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:38,120
He's half Japanese, Korean, half
Korean and he was bullied from a

1065
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:42,720
young age because of that. 
So now because of that he 

1066
00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:45,320
determines like physical 
appearance as meaningless. 

1067
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:48,960
Which is why he falls for Shu 
Young. 

1068
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,400
Right. 
So, like, that's his reasoning 

1069
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,840
for like why he doesn't care 
about. 

1070
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:55,760
So you needed it to be more 
deep. 

1071
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:58,240
Well, it's character 
development. 

1072
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,600
It's part of his like 
foundation. 

1073
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,920
But I I don't know. 
I feel like with suho. 

1074
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:07,040
Otherwise, it's just this little
fairy of a man walking around 

1075
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:15,280
doesn't care about appearances, 
even though he is literally like

1076
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,360
an Adonis. 
I know it doesn't make sense. 

1077
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,720
Yeah, so you needed that little 
bit of like a little bit of a 

1078
00:56:23,720 --> 00:56:26,480
background, yeah, to get his 
character. 

1079
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,760
Yeah. 
OK, I I would have wanted more 

1080
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:34,280
of Sojun's background. 
That's good, but you love the 

1081
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:34,800
2nd. 
Medley. 

1082
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:39,280
I know, I know, I know. 
See this whole Suho and Chuyong 

1083
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:40,880
and dynamic stuff. 
I'm just like. 

1084
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:47,080
Yeah, so I went deep into my 
drama list to look at why 'cause

1085
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,600
the You can leave. 
People leave reviews, right? 

1086
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,400
Oh yeah, did you go through 
them? 

1087
00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:56,880
Went through them. 
Oh my God girls, I don't think I

1088
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,640
ever read the reviews. 
My God, they are so funny. 

1089
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:02,640
Because I would be. 
Curious. 

1090
00:57:02,720 --> 00:57:05,200
I would be curious. 
They started roasting this show 

1091
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,320
so in valid ways too. 
Valid ways. 

1092
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:14,200
So people were like it was okay 
the setup with the male lead 

1093
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,280
tormented over a friend's death 
and the female leads appearance 

1094
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,280
were basically pointless. 
As soon enough this settles into

1095
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:24,320
standard fare. 1 pedestrians. 
Less car accident despite all 

1096
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:25,800
the time in the world to avoid 
it. 

1097
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:31,080
Check love triangle. 
Worse, worse center is oblivious

1098
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,400
In this case the female lead. 
Check me and mom suddenly 

1099
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,560
overcome with grief when 
learning of child's hardships. 

1100
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,920
Years too late and suddenly all 
is forgiven. 

1101
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,400
Check. 
Character disappears overseas 

1102
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,960
for an extended time and returns
with the no advance word? 

1103
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:45,280
Check. 
Pointless breakup? 

1104
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:46,800
Check. 
Hospital visit due to 

1105
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:48,440
gastrointestinal issue? 
Check. 

1106
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:52,160
Third wheel heroically gives up 
and helps main leads get back 

1107
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,160
together after being annoying 
the entire show? 

1108
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,080
Check. 
Best friend betrayal to return 

1109
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:01,120
later to allow lead to forgive 
To show how wonderful the lead 

1110
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:01,560
is? 
Check. 

1111
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,560
You know what's crazy? 
OK, it's formulaic. 

1112
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:06,560
Yeah. 
Hearing. 

1113
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,960
OK hearing this though and the 
reason why I don't really read 

1114
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,520
the my drama, this is totally 
off tangent right? 

1115
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:18,360
But like, I feel like the way 
Koreans see K dramas are so 

1116
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,400
different from the way 
international people see K 

1117
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,000
dramas. 
Oh, great point. 

1118
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,800
You know why? 
Because international people, 

1119
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:27,200
when they see K dramas, they can
dissect it and analyze it. 

1120
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,520
But for Koreans, it's like, it's
good. 

1121
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,280
It's entertaining. 
They don't really think of like,

1122
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:35,960
the whole, like, they don't dig 
deeper. 

1123
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,440
Yes, they don't because it's 
it's a way of it's 

1124
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,520
entertainment, it's everyday, 
right? 

1125
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,920
If I was an international person
and I can kind of do this 

1126
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:49,400
because I I guess I can do this 
with J Dramas and C dramas, I 

1127
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:50,640
can be like, what? 
Why? 

1128
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,440
Why is that like a thing or you 
know what I mean? 

1129
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:58,440
But I think for an international
perspective, I can see why these

1130
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,520
things would be like, OK, it's 
so dumb. 

1131
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:05,280
It's the same reason why people 
hate on airs and why people hate

1132
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,520
on boys over flowers. 
It's exact same thing. 

1133
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,160
True beauty is under that 
category. 

1134
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,720
It is in. 
Fact, it's very similar to boys.

1135
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,200
That's why exactly. 
And that's why I always say 

1136
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,680
this. 
It is not, I promise you, K 

1137
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:22,760
dramas are not that deep. 
They are not that deep, right. 

1138
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,560
There's. 
So many there's. 

1139
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,840
So. 
People said in my the same 

1140
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:30,160
cliche and boring story. 
This drama has nothing new, 

1141
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,160
neither fresh. 
It was funny, but that was their

1142
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,960
strongest point. 
Yeah, the tropes overtake actual

1143
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,160
story investment. 
Totally. 

1144
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:39,000
Are you? 
Yes. 

1145
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,880
Are you kidding me? 
But to be fair, all K dramas are

1146
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,360
founded in tropes I've been 
watching. 

1147
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,120
Yeah, like I can tell you the 
first K drama I watched when I 

1148
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:52,400
was like, I don't know, 6-7 
years old is in terms of formula

1149
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,560
and tropes is exactly the same 
as a K drama you would watch 

1150
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,880
now, but it's just that more 
people are watching it. 

1151
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:00,800
You know what I mean? 
Because it works. 

1152
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,640
But we are getting to because 
things, thanks to Netflix, we 

1153
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:08,360
are getting to K dramas that are
more out of the cookie cutter, 

1154
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,480
which is like squid game and 
death's game. 

1155
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,320
You know, like those kind of 
dramas that are for like have 

1156
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,200
never been done before. 
Right. 

1157
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,440
But again, this is for another 
conversation. 

1158
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,280
But I that's why, like, when I 
see the reviews, I'm just always

1159
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:25,440
like, oh man, it's because, 
yeah, they they didn't grow up 

1160
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,520
with K dramas or, you know, 
aren't part of the Korean 

1161
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,200
culture. 
So, you know, it's easy to 

1162
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:30,600
analyze it. 
Right? 

1163
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:35,360
But Koreans don't do that. 
They don't really analyze movies

1164
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,560
or K dramas to that extent where
it's like, Oh my God, I'm so 

1165
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,120
sick of this. 
I'm like, this is so overdone. 

1166
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,800
They're so quick to just, like, 
watch it and just watch it for 

1167
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,960
entertainment purposes. 
Not even like, you know what I 

1168
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:50,600
mean? 
Not as a critic does that make 

1169
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,200
sense, right? 
But if you're like watching from

1170
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,760
the outside, you're like, you 
can critique it because you're 

1171
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,880
not. 
It's not part of your culture 

1172
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,400
kind of a thing. 
Absolutely. 

1173
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,080
And I would say I would 
categorize true beauty as like a

1174
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:03,920
guilty pleasure. 
Totally. 

1175
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,240
It's it's like a it's like 
America's version of love is 

1176
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:08,800
blind or whatever. 
You know what I mean? 

1177
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,440
It's like because Korean doesn't
really have like variety shows 

1178
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,160
or guilty pleasures. 
They are getting more so now 

1179
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,160
with the reality shows. 
But yeah, it's a total, like 

1180
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,920
just mindless, just watching it 
for the sake of watching it, you

1181
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,120
know? 
But yeah, it's not like up there

1182
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:29,400
to be like this is, this is up 
for, it's just gonna be 

1183
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,240
nominated for an Emmy, you know 
what I mean? 

1184
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,960
It's not up for that kind of 
like deep discussion. 

1185
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,480
Yeah, yeah. 
And I think that the problem is 

1186
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:43,880
that there's, to me, there's 
levels of like ROM coms, and 

1187
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,960
there's really good ROM coms 
that are so smart and sexy and 

1188
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,640
fun. 
And then there's some that are 

1189
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:55,080
just like really baseline, like 
it's guilty pleasure, a lot of 

1190
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:58,000
tropes, and they're not really 
done well and there's nothing 

1191
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,520
new to add. 
And the people can't act very 

1192
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,680
well and like, but there's 
something about it that you're 

1193
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:05,800
just like, I could shut my brain
off and watch this at 3:00 AM 

1194
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:07,080
and, like, fall asleep. 
Totally. 

1195
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:10,320
And that's what true beauty is. 
And if that's what you're in the

1196
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,040
mood for, then great. 
But if that's not what you're in

1197
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,560
the mood for, then you know, so 
be it. 

1198
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,680
Like that's fine. 
If you're looking for like, you 

1199
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:23,000
know to critique something you 
know squid game or you know 

1200
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:28,360
something like very, there's. 
High High Art and High Cinema K.

1201
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,760
Dramas now. 
And then there's True beauty. 

1202
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:36,960
So, but I think a lot of like 
that being said, I think a lot 

1203
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,840
of people were impressed by the 
production value on True Beauty 

1204
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,080
when it came out. 
And like the high quality CG 

1205
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:45,360
scenes. 
And like, like they have her. 

1206
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:49,800
Like flying through the sky with
a blue screen behind her. 

1207
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,200
Like in front of a blue screen 
when she's learning how to do 

1208
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,840
makeup. 
And she's, I think I remember 

1209
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:56,680
that. 
And then all the makeup makeup 

1210
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,000
in the background, like, yeah, 
OK, OK, I. 

1211
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:06,000
Like the graphics and stuff. 
The way that her room is like an

1212
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:10,080
intense set of in and of itself,
because she's like a closet 

1213
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,920
horror manga fan. 
Maybe not closet horror manga, 

1214
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:19,680
but her room is just like horror
aesthetic Barbie horror, 

1215
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:21,960
basically. 
OK, I OK, I totally forgot about

1216
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,960
that. 
But she was into like the they 

1217
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:25,800
were both into horror manga, 
right? 

1218
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:27,560
Kind of. 
Yeah, I mean, I don't believe 

1219
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,240
that for a second. 
But OK, that's fine. 

1220
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:34,240
Fine. 
Sure. 

1221
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,440
What else? 
I think the message gets lost. 

1222
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,480
Like the inner beauty is more 
important than external beauty 

1223
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:45,120
that gets lost. 
I I think the overarching, like 

1224
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,400
how they even got to know each 
other how they met was because 

1225
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:53,800
she was on the rooftop and about
to commit suicide and then the 

1226
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:59,000
boys are on the outs because of 
their a friend committing 

1227
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,560
suicide. 
And this whole thing like that 

1228
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,480
is very serious and they don't 
take it that serious in the 

1229
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,120
show. 
It gets completely lost and 

1230
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:09,360
overshadowed by like this love 
triangle and the totally at the 

1231
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,320
school. 
I think that's like totally. 

1232
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:15,160
I think that's in poor taste to 
be honest in very poor taste. 

1233
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:19,080
So but that's also. 
Also Korea, right? 

1234
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,600
Very. 
Then we can get into social 

1235
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:27,440
commentary about the culture and
their perspectives on mental 

1236
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:28,160
health. 
Period. 

1237
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:32,240
Right. 
But yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. 

1238
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:36,200
For sure. 
But all to say, yeah, like we 

1239
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,440
always come back to it, but it's
it's not a it's a total light 

1240
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:40,640
hearted watch. 
Right. 

1241
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:41,960
It is. 
It is. 

1242
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:46,560
And again, I don't hold any 
animosity towards these actors 

1243
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:50,800
for, you know, having one hit, 
being one hit wonders or having 

1244
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:55,040
like no skills. 
But that's why, you know, that's

1245
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,520
fine. 
They at least they're they have 

1246
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,040
a career and they're making bank
and. 

1247
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,400
And it's entertainment. 
At the end of the day, it's 

1248
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,280
entertaining, right? 
Like whether it's good or bad, 

1249
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:09,320
it's entertaining, right? 
Like, you know, you're, yeah, 

1250
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,240
you're kind of like, oh, how is 
this going to go like And even 

1251
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:13,640
that's kind of like fun. 
I don't know. 

1252
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,640
Yeah. 
Two closing questions for you. 

1253
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:21,440
Is True Beauty a modern classic?
No. 

1254
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:22,680
No, it's not. 
Why? 

1255
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:24,600
Why do you feel it's not a 
modern? 

1256
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,720
Because it can't be taken 
seriously and like I said, like 

1257
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,400
this is. 
It can't, no. 

1258
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:31,800
It can't. 
Be it. 

1259
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,080
Can't be this isn't going to 
solve any issues. 

1260
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:40,200
It's not going to, yeah, it's 
not going to make people's lives

1261
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:45,280
better, Defining better, right. 
And like I said, this is, I 

1262
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,520
always joke about it, right? 
That this is the greatest K drum

1263
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,960
of all time. 
Same reason why I joke about 

1264
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,520
airs. 
Like I don't care what people 

1265
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,600
say. 
Airs was a phenomenon in Korea 

1266
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,320
at the time. 
So whether you love it or not, 

1267
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:03,360
it was massively in terms of 
brand, in terms of act. 

1268
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,040
Like everything. 
All the above. 

1269
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,360
It was huge at the time. 
Oh my God, everyone. 

1270
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,840
Yeah, And whether. 
I feel about it. 

1271
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:13,320
Yeah. 
An icon is an icon. 

1272
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,520
Exactly. 
So like is true beauty. 

1273
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,400
I don't even say true beauty can
be up to par with airs, to be 

1274
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:22,160
honest, because it wasn't as big
as airs as it was in Korea at 

1275
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,480
the time. 
But yeah, I don't think it's a 

1276
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,160
classic. 
I definitely don't think it's 

1277
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:31,040
it's gonna people are going to 
be writing about it when it 

1278
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:33,640
comes to best key dramas of all 
time. 

1279
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:38,600
But in terms of tugging out in 
my heartstrings, it being a ROM 

1280
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:42,520
com doing its job of like, you 
know, being having lots of 

1281
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:47,840
visual eye candy and you know, 
being predictable and having all

1282
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,120
those heartfelt scenes, like, I 
think it did its job. 

1283
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:55,600
But yeah, it's not a classic. 
It's not a ROM com classic. 

1284
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,800
For sure. 
What do you think makes true 

1285
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,560
beauty so special? 
What is the secret to its 

1286
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:05,200
enduring appeal? 
Why is it #1 on Vicky? 

1287
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,400
OK. 
When you say it like that, like 

1288
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,960
I have like first thing, you 
know, I was like nothing really,

1289
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:14,320
nothing really. 
And I can be cheerful about 

1290
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:15,600
this. 
There's nothing really. 

1291
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:17,720
I think that makes it special 
per SE. 

1292
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:22,800
I just think it's got like, OK, 
so the reason why it's number 

1293
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,640
one on Vicky is obviously Chao 
Nu and Huang Ying Yu up. 

1294
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:28,560
That's the reason why. 
OK like Chaonu is an 

1295
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:30,600
international phenomenon and 
hanging up has become an 

1296
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:34,480
international phenomenon, right?
And I feel like over the years, 

1297
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:37,760
it's just a K drama that people 
will, that new K drama watchers 

1298
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,440
will watch. 
So if you're new K drama 

1299
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:44,160
Watcher, it's on your list of K 
dramas to maybe watch or not 

1300
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:45,920
watch whatever, but it's on your
list, right? 

1301
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,800
And so, like, I feel like people
are continuing to watch it and 

1302
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,480
people are re watching it 
because it's just such a 

1303
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,960
mindless show that you can just 
put on. 

1304
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:58,040
And for me, when I'm going 
through a K drama, I'll just put

1305
01:07:58,040 --> 01:07:59,400
it on in the background when I'm
doing stuff. 

1306
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,480
Like it's just that kind of a K 
drama, you know what I mean? 

1307
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,960
But what makes it special, girl?
I don't know. 

1308
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,320
But you know what? 
Like, OK, if I can be very 

1309
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:15,800
rational about it, it's got a 
lot of elements that me as a 

1310
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:20,200
girl who is a huge fan of ROM 
Coms like about ROM com. 

1311
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,600
So like the whole, you know, the
makeover aspect love that. 

1312
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,240
Like I I've watched lots of 
American movies where you know 

1313
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:30,680
the makeover is fun to watch. 
I know it's like superficial, 

1314
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:33,520
but it's it's fun like she's 
starting over. 

1315
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,840
She was bullied. 
She was very self-conscious. 

1316
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,840
And now she's like, I'm going to
like, you know, do what I have 

1317
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:40,840
to do to be the best version of 
myself. 

1318
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,399
And that for her was makeup. 
So, like, I love that makeover 

1319
01:08:43,399 --> 01:08:45,479
part. 
And you're meeting the popular 

1320
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,279
guy in school, you know, which 
is like an American version, I 

1321
01:08:48,279 --> 01:08:51,080
guess captain of the football 
team or something, you know. 

1322
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,279
So there's all these little 
things that like, you can't help

1323
01:08:54,279 --> 01:08:56,680
but feel it makes you feel good,
right. 

1324
01:08:56,680 --> 01:09:00,319
At the end of the day, exact 
reason why you would like any 

1325
01:09:00,319 --> 01:09:02,279
other ROM com. 
So I think this hits all of the 

1326
01:09:02,279 --> 01:09:05,479
tropes, yes. 
But it's kind of comforting in 

1327
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,359
that sense, you know? 
Yeah, because it does hit those 

1328
01:09:08,359 --> 01:09:09,800
tropes and you know what to 
expect. 

1329
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:11,680
I like that. 
I like that. 

1330
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,800
Answer. 
So maybe it is a bit special, 

1331
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:15,920
but you know, not that deep. 
It's. 

1332
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,319
It depends on each person I 
guess, and what they glean from 

1333
01:09:19,319 --> 01:09:23,359
it, because I think we've all 
every person has that moment 

1334
01:09:23,359 --> 01:09:27,240
where they're like, I think I 
want to change for the better. 

1335
01:09:27,319 --> 01:09:30,680
And in this case, like her 
impetus was, she was bullied 

1336
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:32,040
mercilessly. 
And I don't think she 

1337
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:38,080
necessarily wanted to change 
before this inciting incident in

1338
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:46,600
episode one, which was extremely
cruel, which is really sad. 

1339
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:50,840
I think the makeover aspect is 
really aspirational because I 

1340
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,080
think we all want to be the best
version of ourselves. 

1341
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,760
And she, you know, she does take
start taking better care of 

1342
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,240
herself and better care of her 
skin and she's using, you know, 

1343
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:02,920
the face masks and stuff, but 
besides also using cosmetics and

1344
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,280
learning how to do our makeup 
and stuff right. 

1345
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:09,560
So it is sort of a self-care 
aspect. 

1346
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:13,480
Is is brought into play here. 
Yeah, it's a Wellness, right? 

1347
01:10:13,480 --> 01:10:14,560
Like. 
Wellness. 

1348
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:16,680
Totally agree. 
But he is. 

1349
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,640
She is also at the same time 
super infantile and naive and 

1350
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:26,400
she like doesn't like understand
social cues and like it's it's 

1351
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:28,600
bizarre. 
So a lot of like different 

1352
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,000
things like at play here, 
because I think we all want to 

1353
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:35,800
be very insulated like she is, 
but be beautiful as well inside 

1354
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:40,200
and out like she is. 
Yeah, yeah, totally agree. 

1355
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:44,840
And get like chow no as well so.
Knight in shining armor. 

1356
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:46,600
That's another thing. 
The knight in shining armor, 

1357
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:46,920
right? 
You. 

1358
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:50,080
Come Absolutely. 
Saves her like she's getting 

1359
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:51,600
bullied. 
He puts the hat on her, right? 

1360
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:53,840
I know. 
Yeah, she has a face full of 

1361
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,240
cake and her makeup is about to,
like, slide off. 

1362
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,320
And he. 
Covers her with his jacket. 

1363
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:00,000
Come on. 
It's cute. 

1364
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,320
It's cute, she. 
Said, Yeah, whatever. 

1365
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:07,600
So thank you so much for coming 
on and talking about your 

1366
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:11,880
favorite show of all time, the 
best new drama of all time, Bina

1367
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,280
Masterpiece. 
Can you quote that? 

1368
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:22,200
Masterpiece Chen Chen I had such
a great time equally hyping the 

1369
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:27,400
show up as much as we roasted it
and this was so much fun. 

1370
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:30,320
I hope you'll come back on. 
Where can we find you online, 

1371

you can find me also on Soompi 
and K Pop Map and you mentioned 

1375
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,240
those links. 
Yes, yes. 

1376
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:49,920
I I find myself going back to 
different Soompi articles and 

1377
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:51,000
I'm like, I wonder who wrote 
that. 

1378
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:54,800
It's beena. 
And it's so much fun to see see 

1379
