[House on Wheels Roundup + Naver TV Comments] Episode 2

      , , , , ,     Comments

Episode 2


Nationwide ratings for episode 2 that aired on June 18, 2020: 3.3% (cr. Naver TV)

1. [+23 / -1] It's seriously really, really pretty,, Jin Goo peeking out was so cute ❤️

2. [+21 / -1] I was in awe while watching the sunrise scene on TV... It was really pretty that I was jealous of the people there...

3. [+18 / -1] @ 02:34 - Yeo Jin Goo is... cute...

4. [+15 / -1] That's insane... look at the sunrise... seriously, the view is art... 

5. [+14 / -2] It's really pretty and I'm jealous ㅎㅎㅎㅎ Of course, it would be hard to live like that every day but I feel like if you enjoy those therapeutic moments from time to time, it'll be really nice :)


Original Source (News1 via Nate): 'House on Wheels' Ra Mi Ran x Hyeri, from big octopus → mackerel burger - they have a successful first housewarming party...Next guest is Gong Hyo Jin

 1. [+791 / -59] Can't they just make Ra Mi Ran and Hyeri fixed cast members ㅋㅋㅋㅋ they were so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ they were eating ramen quietly but Kim Hee Won asked them why they're posing weirdly ㅋㅋㅋㅋ *pfft*

 2. [+655 / -20] Actor Kim Hee Won has a clumsiness to him, it's fun ㅎㅎ

 3. [+510 / -26] It has a different type of fun than 'Three Meals a Day' 

 4. [+120 / -14] Gong Hyo Jin is bad. Seeing how she came out on 'Three Meals a Day', she just wanted to get served and she somewhat didn't have the willpower.. Let's just film dramas.

 5. [+107 / -15] Gong Hyo Jin was also really so-so on 'Three Meals a Day' but she keeps coming out on variety shows..... 

Original Source (Newsen via Nate): 'House on Wheels' Kim Hee Won gets rid of his real man image, "Scared of big octopus → seonji is gross"

 1. [+335 / -3] This was so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Kim Hee Won i always being scolded by Sung Dong Il ㅋㅋㅋ But the point is that he doesn't get upset ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 2. [+218 / -8] Ra Mi Ran Hyeri ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was hella funny when they were secretly eating ramen ㅋㅋㅋ

 3. [+214 / -3] I was laughing so hard when Kim Hee Won spilled the black pepper ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㄱㅋㄱㅋㄱ it was a while since I laughed like crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㄱ

 4. [+36 / --0] It's because the roles Kim Hee Won plays is like that but I don't think his real personality is like that... Instead, it's the opposite of that (t/n: Kim Hee Won tends to always play roles of gangsters, close friends who betray you, higher up in a company that betrays you, someone scary lolol)

 5. [+35 / -2] Gong Hyo Jin's casting is a no~~~ I'm not looking forward to it, does the writer not even watch variety shows - Three Meals a Day
Ra Mi Ran and Hyeri were really amazing guests
they're so funny
really loved the chemistry between the five of them, i agree with the comments saying that they felt like family 💜
i died when Hyeri and Jin Goo were playing the board games she brought and Sung Dong Il woke up cause it was so loud but ended up playing with them while Ra Mi Ran kept saying she didn't want to play cause she wanted to sleep and Kim Hee Won was just knocked out in the corner 
felt like i was watching my family during the holidays 🤣
and Kim Hee Won is such a softie and scaredy cat LOL 🥺

[House on Wheels Roundup] Episode 1ㅣSung Dong Il and Yeo Jin Goo reunite after 14 years + Viewers are surprised by how much Sung Joon and Sung Bin grew

      , , , , , , ,     Comments

1. [+701 / -13] Our Jin Goo grew up quite well. I don't know if it's because we saw him since he was a baby but it feels like we raised him too ㅎㅎ

2. [+616 / -9] It's different from the usual variety shows and it's fresh ㅋㅋㅋㅋ it feels like it's going to be daebak

3. [+519 / -11] It feels like it was just yesterday when he (Yeo Jin Goo) did a coffee errand on 'Happiness in 10,000 won'...ㅋㅋ (t/n: Here's a cute clip from that episode, omg this show was such a throwback)

4. [+50 / -2] Everything Yeo Jin Goo prepared failed ㅋㅋ It's even funnier because he didn't do that to be funny ㅋㅋ Kim Hee Won is funny and the three of them are funny but it's even replenished with Ra Mi Ran and Hyeri's wit is really a talent, her ability to read the atmosphere and the flow is a natural gift ㅋㅋ the five of them is a perfect combination but is this a pilot episode... it didn't say that it'll air at the same time, next week (t/n: Yeo Jin Goo practiced making gochujang jjigae before coming but it failed lol and he made shikhye (Korean rice drink) and brought it but it spilled all over his luggage. The one that didn't spill, the other members drank it and Hyeri asked Ra Mi Ran to try it cause it tasted a bit funky and Ra Mi Ran said that it went bad probably cause of the hot weather but when Kim Hee Won tried it, he said the one that went bad tastes better than the one he tried earlier before it went bad LOLOLOL)

5. [+43 / -0] To be honest, Sung Dong Il - isn't this hyung the Choi Min Sik and Song Kang Ho of the drama world


Original Source (X Sports News via Nate): 'House on Wheels' Sung Dong Il's children Sung Joon x Sung Bin, growth spurt update, "Already 15 and 13 years old"

1. [+872 / -32] First of all, Sung Bin just has a handsome face so even if he gains weight during middle school, kids who are meant to lose weight lose it once they get to high school. I feel like he's going to be hella handsome (t/n: LOLOL this person mixed up Bin and Joon, they're talking about Joon - the other commenters let this person know)

 2. [+734 / -18] Sung Joon and Sung Bin really grew up well in a healthy way. I feel like Sung Dong Il is good at acting and is really a good father towards his children!

3. [+542 / -4] I can't resist ㅋㅋㅋ I have to watch the clip where Bin plays the violin (t/n: here's a link to the clip)

 4. [+46 / -1] The kids really grew up well. It's not easy for siblings to whisper and have a good relationship at that age. It feels like with Sung Joon, he got brighter and happier than when he was younger and with Sung Bin, she became more calm than when she was younger.

[SPOILERS!!!][ddoboja reviews] Miss Hammurabi

      , , , ,     Comments

When it comes to Korean dramas, procedural and medical dramas are usually a hit or a miss for me. Often, I feel as if the drama uses the setting of a hospital, police department, or a court room as the background for the main love line. And that sucks especially for viewers like me who would rather have episodes focused on the cases than episodes focused on the love lines between the two leads. When I first saw teasers for 'Miss Hammurabi', I didn't have high expectations. Although Sung Dong Il is one of my favorite actors I can trust to watch, I had mixed feelings about Go Ara and Kim Myung Soo (L). Go Ara isn't a bad actor but she does have the tendency where her acting seems the same in every drama she comes out in and her acting sometimes seems exaggerated, especially during her crying scenes. With Kim Myung Soo, all I knew him was for being L from the boy group Infinite. I remember seeing him in 'The Master's Sun' and 'My Lovely Girl' but his acting wasn't memorable in either dramas. So with 'Miss Hammurabi', I expected Sung Dong Il to pull most of the weight and expected the typical procedural drama. But what I ended up getting was one of the best Korean legal dramas I've ever watched.

The reason I believe 'Miss Hammurabi' worked out so well was because it's written by an actual judge. The cases and situations presented in the drama did a really good job at portraying how Korean society currently is. Some of the most memorable topics for me were: sexism in the workplace, chaebols pulling strings and being stronger than the judges, and the characters going through their own moral issues. With the cases in this drama, I think it did a really good job at presenting both sides of the victim's perspective and the perpetrator's perspectives. With the issue regarding sexism in the workplace, the viewer would obviously root for the female employee who experiences a miscarriage after being worked too hard. The drama talks about how female employees are now cautious about marrying and becoming pregnant because they don't want to be seen as a burden to their coworkers. The obvious "villain" in this situation is the chief who overworks the female employee but then at the end, you realize that he's so hungry for success because that's his form of validation. The final scene of that episode also gave me chills because we see the female bailiff (portrayed by Lee Yea Eun) feeling threatened by a group of men although a few minutes ago, she was showing off her martial arts skills to the friends she was drinking with and showing how tough she was. This scene just made me really sad because I think it perfectly depicted how at times women can feel really vulnerable around men no matter how strong we think we are...  


I was also shocked by how the drama showed their characters experiencing their own moral issues. The most memorable for me was Im Ba Reun (portrayed by Kim Myung Soo) using personal connections and his status as a judge to have his school friend pull some strings at the hospital so that his mother could get a check up faster. In that moment, all Ba Reun cared about was his mom, he didn't care if other patients waited longer than him. He realizes what he did when the doctor who examines his mother points out the fact that the patients that came before him are in extreme pain and they waited even longer than he did. Im Ba Reun is left feeling disgusted by himself and cries while apologizing to the people he cut in front of. 

I believe this is why the drama worked so well as a legal drama. Its main focus wasn't on the love line between Im Ba Reun and Park Cha Oh Reum (portrayed by Go Ara), instead it was focused on their dedication to their careers and to bring justice to the people who deserve it. In my opinion, the love line present in this drama felt trivial and I really appreciated how it wasn't the main focus because it had the viewers rooting for justice to be brought in the cases rather than rooting for two characters to end up together. Many times when I was translating comments regarding this drama, many commenters pointed out how the world would be so much better if there were many judges like the main characters. Judges who actually take time to listen to both sides of the case and aren't being swayed by other factors. I also appreciated how the drama didn't drag out one case throughout multiple episodes but would resolve them in a timely manner.

'Miss Hammurabi' ended up being one of my favorite Korean dramas for this year. The drama did an amazing job on being an actual legal drama instead of being another romance k-drama trying to pass off as a legal drama. The acting all felt natural and not overreacted and I think that's because the actors aren't playing stereotypical roles. Kim Myung Soo isn't playing another chic flower boy, Go Ara isn't playing a tomboy or a girl trying to act tough, and Sung Dong Il isn't just another angry ahjussi. These characters in this drama all have a purpose and they're all characters we can relate with. 

I would definitely recommend this drama to any viewer who isn't a huge fan on the stereotypical romance k-drama and is interested in watching dramas that are actually focused on legal issues. And for people who think Kim Myung Soo can't act (I used to be one of them), you need to do watch this because he'll change your opinion.
Hehehehe
Here's my review/final thoughts on the drama 'Miss Hammurabi'!
I hope y'all enjoyed it as much as I did~
This summer has been really busy for me so this is like the only drama I kept up with ㅠㅠ
I'm so sad it's over, I'm going to miss all the characters and the always perfect timing of 'IT'S ALRIGHTTTTTT' LOL
Hope everyone is having a good summer!
Talk to you soon!
