Empire of Gold Episode 1 Screencaps + short Recap

The drama started with Jang Tae Joo [Go Soo] committing a crime. But it was an instinct against him. Then the wedding with Choi Seo Yoon [Lee Yo Won]. Both are exuding awesome chemistry.
JTJ seems to be on the revenge here.

Then flashback...
As I understand, he came from a struggling family. He has a sister. His father working. Meanwhile, CSY's father was in a hospital, confined. Her cousin, Choi Min Jae [Son Hyun Joo] was also working in the company owned by Seo Yoon's family. There was a meeting of the board members and I think SY was having a hard time facing the board. She was the only female and there was some kind of power against her. CMJ is an ambitious man, and is waiting for his time.

JTJ father was in an accident, from a riot. 

Well, this is it for now...will wait for the subs. I have yet to fully understand the story. As for a pilot episode, I think the pacing was good. I hope the writer will continue with this kind of pace.

And I like the angles and the blocking. Or maybe, Go Soo and Lee Yo Won are just both so good and they are great whenever they are on the screen. Even separately. She is not aging, still pretty as the last time I watched her in a drama with KSW. [ahh...that's too long ago.]

    thank you for visiting the page. I will do my best to update EOG and post screencaps as soon as the live streaming ends, too.
    but for summary review and some thoughts, it will always be after the subs are out. I am also not Korean, and though some scenes are easily understood, still, i'd rather wait for subs.:))

[Ep. 20] When a Man Loves Final Episode Screencaps + Short recap + mslee's Final Thoughts

Image
Final episode [20] ... Recap... Tae Sang agreed to marry Seung Jo. SJ excited. MD went to TS office, talked with TS then SJ came in and TS announced to MD they are getting married. MD, a bit surprised or not, with her poker face [but there is conflicting emotions there] congratulated the couple. MD dreamed of TS...in the bookstore, they were still together happily bantering at each other. Woke up, found it was only a dream. Went to their old home, to the bookstore, realized it's not real and stared with tears at the chalkboard, at the bookstore. [regret is written on her face] TS and Tae Min went to mom's shop, mom cried seeing TM. A small family reunion followed. Wedding pictorial for the couple. Yong Gap told SJ about what really happened to the missing person whom TS mom eloped with. He died accidentally when he fell on the stairs. MD and JH talked and seemed like breaking up. [well, what they did was wrong so they surely won't be happy toget

[mslee's thoughts] The King's Face Episode 23 Final Screen caps and Review

Image
Finally I am writing my thoughts on episode 23. Even in this last episode, the King never took time to understand the heart of Prince Gwang Hae. It was so easy for him to think that Prince Gwang Hae will take his seat away from him. Yes, Gwang Hae admitted thinking of being a King but it does not mean he has a mind that could be accused of treason. Prince Gwang Hae advised his father that it should be the people he must worry about and not his face because what happens to the lives of the people makes a King's face. The King has not had the face of a king until now because he lacked the understanding and the heart of what his duty entails. His people are not happy and still suffers that's why those transcend to him as the King who over looks on them, giving him the face of not suited to be King. The advise was so honestly brutal that the King's anger to Gwang Hae made him ill and the fact that  the poison Ga Hee mixed with his tea already s

[mslee's thoughts] Ep. 15 & 16 - Secret Final Review

Image
Honestly, I was not so eager to watch the final 2 episodes. Why? Perhaps I know the story is nearing it's end and there'll be no more Secrets to look forward to next week, Why do great dramas end so fast? Hmmm...sighing here. this is somewhat long... Episode 15 Anyway, last week's ending was another cliffhanger for viewers. The question hanging in my mind was, will Do Hoon win in this game he planned? Yes, it is like a game of hide and seek, hiding secrets and seeking the truth. Yoo Jung finally had the courage to go on and file a complaint against DH for abandoning her father leading to his death. Even as she warned him that she will go through with it, DH was initially shaken but he did not let her undermine him. He was afraid for himself, the reason he gathered all the documents that will make the two companies shake. By this time, DH knew what he had to do to survive. Se Yeon was clouded by her obsession, not even considering what those documents will d
