SS301 – “Pain” MV
(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Here’s another teaser for SS301′s comeback (the MV drops in just a few hours!). It’s poking fun at the fact that “UR MAN” was voted the #1 song to avoid listening to when taking your college entrance exams because it’s the kind of ear-worm song that will get stuck in your head and distract you from taking the test. (SHINee’s “Ring Ding Dong” was a close runner-up.)

tvN Signal Episode 7
Also re: Signal – I’m really hoping they’ll find a way to save Jae Han so he’ll be alive in 2015 (and our 2015, y’know, the one where Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young are married with a baby and not just rumored to be dating), but knowing how the unspoken Laws of the Universe work on this show, it’ll mean killing off Hae Young because you can’t save a life without sacrificing another, apparently.
Oh my lord, why did I not realize this before. I know it wasn’t true about Jisung and wife dating that time. Or even the Misaeng cast love triangle. I just thought Hae young in Episode 1 was making it all up to get a money/job or to create rumours. I didn’t take him seriously that time. Now, I see it. They are on a different Universe to begin with.
I thought we are in the same Universe as they are all along. And that they are changing things as they solve cases. My gosh, that’s why I haven’t been enjoying this drama. Reading this post and watching Episode 7 changed that. I guess tumblr is the new walkie talkie. Are you Jae Han?
I’m not 100% sure that’s exactly what the show is going for – it’s pretty much my take on it. However, because they made it clear in this show as a fact that Lee Bo Young was single (that’s why he got in trouble – she reported a man going through her garbage, which, as a single woman, seems extra scary), so obviously it’s a different world than ours. Considering what a major celebrity couple they are in the actual real world, it’s a convenient way of quickly letting the audience know that the show’s “present day” is not the same as our “present day.”
Knowing that this show is all about trying to change the past to effect the future, I’ve been assuming we’ll get a little cute throwback in the final episode of a news report of their wedding/baby/etc. just to show that yeah, the future has changed since ep 1, and it is our future.
That’s the one key thing that prevented me from loving the drama at the time. When I saw Ep 1-6, I kept wondering why the writers are so insistent on changing the course of events in South Korean’s history, and why those particular events. Believing that we were in the same universe as they were, It did not make sense to me why they solved the murder cases or that the statue of limitations had to do with that little girl. Since they never happened in our world.
So, yeah your logic makes perfect sense that Hae young in Ep 1 is already in a different universe than ours. I just truly thought that the Misaeng or Lee Bo Young reference was just for fun. That it wasn’t intended for anything.
Aside from that, Episode 7 made me love the show because it’s now making my brain thinks more harder than it already is. Now the past is affecting Hae Young’s present. The Chief is the one that’s confusing me. He should not have been the chief in 2000 (or in 2015), since Hae Young wasn’t involve with the robbery cases at the time. So, why is the Chief there? He shouldn’t be there. Bring me back to the time where I didn’t enjoy the show so my brain wouldn’t have to work hard.
The issue with the Chief (either Head Chief as played by Jang Hyun Sung or Section Chief as played by Jung Hae Kyung) is understandable to me. Doesn’t really matter the details in the case – both men are the type to use any circumstance to climb the ladder.
The Sandwich
@dramafever, are you kidding me? She’s pretending to be a boy, so this is how you translate it when someone calls her “hyungnim”? I pity anyone who actually need to rely on your subtitles to figure out what’s happening, because you continuously—and willfully— mislead them.
*raises a glass in camaraderie*
Dear Signal:
I’ve already spent too much time with asshole drug-addled chaebols who think they can literally get away with murdering a girl they’ve raped just because they’re rich and powerful and have a rich and powerful father. I don’t need another one in my life.
