wandering thoughts...my K-World

  Golden Cross marathon took me two days to catch up on this week's episodes! Impression? From episode 1, it has been a solid drama that takes a viewer to a level of unbelievable suspense and fast paced turn outs of the story. I have been treated to a wonderful story line, great acting and superb twists that makes me hate all the villains in the drama for their schemes. I read that the director wanted to have all actors only in this particular drama and having watched it I think I agree on his choice of not casting any idols. Not that idols are not good in acting but viewer's taste and opinion might have an effect on the drama. I believe actors that are cast have a strong performance and viewers focus only on the amazing roles that has been portrayed so far. The plot is not new but how it was written and shown was really amazing. A collective conspiracy to attain their goal, sacrificing a father and a daughter for their ruthless game of power. The murder of Kang Do...

I have been wondering what is the relationship between Pan Seok and the killer, Hyung Cheol. My first thought was maybe he was a partner, that's why he was close to him. And I was right. He used to be his partner 12 years ago. Why does he seemed to have a hold on Pan Seok's loyalty? He was fired/dismissed using a gun killing a suspect when they were both in a  hunt situation, and Hyung Cheol received a  big scar behind his ears protecting Pan Seok. Now that Hyung Cheol is on another mission to kill Dae Gu, [who does not know the real deal about Hyung Cheol's secret]  asked Pan Seok for help to get him out of Korea to China in the next few days. What happened 12 years ago between Pan Seok and Sa Kyung? The night he lost Ji Yong was the night his son died. Then there is the mysterious Chief of Police, Kang, who became the benefactor of Ji Yong aka Dae Gu. What's the real deal? Is she an ally or an enemy in disguise? At first I am not sure but in thi...

I want to make a continuous recap of the drama but I am lost about the financial and legal side of the story. I can follow what is happening but it is really difficult for me to share my own interpretation of what is happening step by step. I'm not confident if I can relay exactly what is happening. So I will just share the over view of the drama and how it is progressing as of now. From episode 10 there has not much development besides Sung Jun being the "fall guy" in the problems brewing in the family company, Yurim Group. She confessed to having a direct action and decision on what has happened to the money in the company. She did it thinking her family would bail her soon after selling their Yurim Energy to pay off the creditors. Oh I hope I am right in what I am saying here. To cut the story short, Seok Joo was the one who suggested selling CP's but because he has memory lapsed, he can't find the reason why he did that. Cha Young Woo let him off t...

The man who currently caught my attention. It was not planned watching Golden Cross because my time is already full of k-dramas. Watching and doing short recaps for each of them takes a lot of time already. But then I find myself nothing to watch a couple of weeks back when two dramas I follow of the same day and time slot did not air. Browsing I find myself watching the latest episode of Golden Cross. Lee Si Young and most of the cast in the drama are already familiar to me. I have seen them and watched them from their previous works. But who is Kim Kang Woo , the guy playing Kang Do Yoon in the story? He looks familiar, he has a bit of similarity to Kwon Sang Woo. As I watched him, I was really impressed with his acting. Unconsciously, I finished the episode in  no time and I was still hungry for more.  Maybe it was the story itself which is compelling that made me start from episode 1 and marathon until the current episode in two days. But more likely, ...
