And i think Chan soo is already interested or attracted to her personality. One minute you're jobless, deep in debt and on the verge of eviction; the next you’re in a fight with a monster and getting a job working for a Paranormal Detective with the head of a Jack-o-Lantern. Damn that Hyungsik is sekshi. At the same time, I could be lauding Chang-soo’s virtues without knowing what kind of person he must be for Joon-ki to despise(?) And now, I still feel can't believe SJ's character in High Society. Kyung-joon sighs before admitting that age changed him—plus a divorce and a few failed business ventures. Oppa doesn’t look convinced. I don't think she was particularly confrontational with anyone so far but when family members slapped and insulted her, she didn't ran away. It’s a telling sign that the second he’s gone, Joon-ki brushes his shoulder as if to rid it of Chang-soo’s contact. I read somewhere that LSW is only a cameo :). Also, UEE doest not look thin to me AT ALL. Chang-soo encounters Ji-yi again on the storeroom floor and makes it a point to formally ask her if she needs help, only to be brushed off coldly. Yoon-ha adamantly denies Ji-yi’s claim that Chang-soo must be her sponsor, and listens as her friend croons over how perfect Joon-ki is. She takes him outside for a more private conversation, and swiftly debunks his initial theory that she’s working for his company as a spy—the company would have to merit being spied on first. think of how awk it would be for yoon ha to tell her HEY IM RICH BUT I HATE MY FAMILY AND I DONT NEED /ALL/ THIS MONEY U KNOW? she wants to cut her family out of her life the way they have cut her out of their hearts. Your email address will not be published. Surprisingly, Yoon-ha had once wondered the same thing herself and had her DNA tested against Madam Min’s, only to find out that they were indeed a biological match. That turns out to be the last straw, as Joon-ki declares that she’s fired—the company won’t protect her any longer. Of course, Ji-yi is under the wrong impression when she claims Joon-ki comes from a rich household, and how that must contribute to his shining personality—lacking nothing while growing up makes wealthy people nice! she wont be rich anymore or part of their powerful estate. Chang-soo stops Joon-ki from introducing him as her boss, covering instead by playing the lazy, jobless friend. Yoon Ha thinks working hard and saving money will lead to wealth and happiness for the non-Chaebols, Joon Ki thinks only wealthy people who do not get looked down on can be happy, Ji Yi thinks the privileges of a rich family makes Joon Ki nice. I agree with you! He wonders how she can go from tears to laughter so quickly, and also how she can be Yoon-ha’s friend without knowing her real background. It feels very odd to me to be defending a kdrama lead. All the rich customers and their insults in the store remind me so much about that incident of that chaebol woman who went ballistic upon receiving nuts not on a plate while on the plane. Sometimes I felt like I was watching two different shows. Her voice, her acting is so natural and spot on here. Why being a big girl should mean she should do everything by herself and never ask for help? and im interested in their dynamic as people not just as a couple. Plus have great writing. It's just to much energy and not worth it. im glad she adores her friend and is willing to brick chansoo in the head on her behalf. Very, very entertaining to watch. Show, please don't be too melo? I was very thrown off by the text she sent to her brother! They seem to be a bigger pain in the a** than middle social ranks. I'll take plot holes over cold-blooded betrayal any day. She was indeed thin in Hogu's Love, but seem just right now. Just that he tries to be pragmatic but it is not long before his rigid exterior crumbles... can't wait for the next episodes! Go her. Elle (Olivia DeJonge) is also looking lonely, with Campbell (Toby Wallace) snooping around her like a creep. I love their interactions. I wonder though what her brother would have done. i can forsee her giving him what he's been wanting by that i mean a real opinion on why the food market is failing, which even director chansoo cant seem to conjure up. She abhors her own daughter. Ji-yi takes a while to digest that but then responds meekly with the respect of an employee to her superior, which isn’t exactly what Chang-soo wanted either. Sex seems to be a topic in Episode 2 it seems, as Becca finds out she is pregnant. I was pessimistic about both of PHS and SJ. I think it is the pink shade they added to her clothes and make-up... can't say. I watched the actress that plays Yi Ji only once before in a very serious movie soooo I was completely suprised with her acting her character!!! . chansoo is himself a mash up of various chaebol leads in recent years. Also, Tim spotlights a medical breakthrough. Maybe she’ll even start a business with Ji-yi too, which seems to impress Kyung-joon. >I hope there'll be more insight soon why she hasn't walked out yet because just her saying she wants to be "fully prepared" is too vague. The two share a “Fighting!” fist bump outside the elevator. yeah he doesnt know yet, but he's really sharp so he's half way there already. But when he mentions that the sandwich she made was delicious, she whips around indignantly, then wonders under her breath how Joon-ki could have given her gift to him. The girl doesn't know how to act drunk. He looks down to find most of his shirt gone, having torn in Ji-yi’s hand. and Why do these people think their opinions on UEE's looks are interesting or needed? Chang-soo may not win any awards on personhood anytime soon, but he’s trying, and boy does that count for a lot these days. (and yeah she has ji yi as a sort of support but jy has no money and yh burdening her friend with her own self imposed exile would not be cool of her. which was at odds with her poor person image, and we have the funny silk shirt that tore off too easily? sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna, Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Maybe that’s what he was going for. girl is just smart/savvy. Season 8, Episode 2: 'Café Society' And 'Jason Bourne' Tim and Gregg celebrate the return of Woody Allen and Matt Damon's super spy. Only then does Yoon-ha realize that Joon-ki is the guy her friend’s had starry eyes over lately, which changes her tune. The Society (2019) Episode List. Joon Ki may be pretending to be a friend to Chang Soo, hoping perhaps for a way to rise quickly and become rich with friend's backing? I also don't see her rejecting the rich lifestyle. they are hitting all the familiar beats for any rich man/poor woman rom com set up. :). That meta thread continues when Yoon-ha tries to offer advice to her friend regarding Joon-ki, claiming that Ji-yi could lead the good life if she were to marry him. “Do you know what real pride is?” Joon-ki growls. Why do I keep seeing comments about that? She reaches out to touch him giddily, excited that she’s met an actual chaebol. Sungjoon's role isn't doing much for me thus far, unfortunately. Also, Gordie was wrong about the Solar Eclipse because the next one is scheduled in 2024; he makes a new theory that they are on a different planet, and gives a multi-verse spin to it. She’s definitely suspicious about who Yoon-ha really is. Yoon-ha texts Kyung-joon after to stop him from taking any action regarding her job, since she’s been fired anyway. If she goes against her parents openly she will get the treatment her mother got. Episode 2, “Our Town”, moves forward 10 days, with Becca (Gideon Adlon) narrating how everything is settling, but some of the teenagers cling on to hope that something will change. Really?? I decided to chime in today because I'm strangely attracted to this show and melos are usually not my thing. hmmm she cut them off?) I don't even understand myself right now. I think their romance will lit up pretty soon, just that the second leads are really adorable together (!) He still is :) That charm, that childishness, those expressions and that hair. So she is saving money and even bought stocks which shows she needs money and she plans to do some other business with her best friend...she is just waiting for the right time to break away. Ji-yi sidles up next to him to brag about her friend’s language skills, but has no good answer when Joon-ki asks for her sincere opinion on why sales have been so low. Allie believes Cassandra is manipulating him. Now that I think about it, Episode 2 of The Society was not a great episode at all. Tags: featured, High Society, Im Ji-yeon, Park Hyung-shik, Sung Joon, UEE, Your email address will not be published. But PHS is quite hilarious here :). Sung Joon is doing alright, but it's Park Hyun-Sik's Chang-Soo and Lee Jin-Yi who steal the show. I also found Yoon ha's mother being so mean to her very tiresome. I can't wait for this romance to develope. Drunk antics and ripped shirt! I truly appreciate it when I can see that the writer and production team care about putting together a quality show and respect us, the viewers. :). It's not new...Surely you saw Boys Over Flowers.....though the SoEul couple there was more like Third Leads Syndrome. He hasn't it quite put it together yet but something is obviously needling him since he keeps asking his buddy how he knows. “Our Town” is a slightly more stable episode, with the characters more bedded in than the convoluted Episode 1. So cute. They’re interrupted by a knock on the driver’s side door—it’s Yoon-ha with a brick, ready for use in case Chang-soo’s been terrorizing her friend. Oh, That movie. “There are times we have money and times we don’t… Well, I guess we never had any,” she adds with a laugh. Why is a week so long?! Gah, they’re so adorable. Can't let how cute he is when chasing after the girl rejecting him erase his other behaviors. Jiyi and Changsoo are just too cute. Anyway Korean movies when done right are gritty and realistic. Just take a look at Hyungsik's instagram, he's posting pictures with Ji-yi, not Yoon-ha :). What happens when every chaebol threatens his mighty mom or dad wanting to marry Candies? I am somewhat confused, does Joon Ki know who Yoon Ha really is, is he playing dumb or he really does not know she is a chaebol? What’s more amazing is that he’s not stealing hearts because he’s the best guy ever and sure to be way better for the heroine down the line—he couldn’t be further from that actually, and is instead childish, naive, and simultaneously both a little dense and strangely astute. Yoon-ha's mom is another character that is intriguing. Diplomacy is not a skill of hers. I can't help to feel sorry suddenly for part-timers who have to work at dept stores frequented by the rich in Korea. Although Dewey was … Honestly UEE's character Yoon Ha may look sorted out on the surface but is childish within. And, if you're going to be evil, Joonki, don't be evil to your girl, okay? To Harry’s surprise Allie shows up, and in a moment of madness, she gets run over. Chang-soo can tell that Joon-ki’s been riding his bike and jokes that he won’t be able to beat him even if he practices. so she can TRULY cut ties with her family.

Just finished watching this episode and was wondering when this recap would be out so i refreshed db and bam here it is hahaha. cuz if u have i'd p sure you'd never say that lol. Of course she does, how could she not know why she could refuse to apologize when her friend couldn't? Now Yoon-ha is really out of her depth, but Joon-ki’s angle seems directed at Yoon-ha’s interference and how easily that can backfire. And when he does those longing gazes at Uee, gahhh. but she's been pretty true to her main goal.

It may actually be what propels her to become her real self. I expected a lot from this drama because of a good cast but first episode was just solid in my opinion. He wishes she wouldn’t since that’s all she does all day, but she’s insistent that it’s the least she can do to help him. All that aside, I do think he is becoming more natural with his acting. These intrigued me... the Victim Mentality. I hope there'll be more insight soon why she hasn't walked out yet because just her saying she wants to be "fully prepared" is too vague. Even cuter, she all but jumps out of her skin in delight when Chang-soo takes her hand to lead her. Season 1. I think this may have some of the wheelings and dealings but it won't be as intense. “People like her will always be rich, and we continue to be poor even when we work hard and get insulted. It makes sense that she feels she needs to have a say and be acknowledged since she has practically no voice or presence in her own home.

I prefer to forget it, it was stiff and not believable. And I laughed and laughed at the obligatory ab scene done so diffrently at the end. The characters are more bedded in, but The Society Episode 2, “Our Town”, throws plenty of stories at the audience, melting their brains. “Probably because you have a prejudiced opinion of me,” Yoon-ha fires back. It seems like in her case, she still has something to lose. Thanks for this! Hope she improves as the show progress as I'm liking her with Hyung Sik. him the way he does. He did break up with that rich b*tchy girl in the hotel when she was so insulting about his family background. Thanks for the recap. JY is already giving her what she needs most: A friend. Okay, I'm in, I wasn't sure after episode 1 but this convinced me. :). She just wants to be loved in addition to holding onto her wealth. I wonder if it comes from years of living in an oppressed family where she's expected to follow orders and not speak her mind. Cut to: The two of them at a street stall, where Ji-yi’s already drunk. have you ever tried to live a toxic hostile living situation with no outside support or money? And she has the means to leave! But since she is a Chaebol's daughter, her begging comes with a big price to whom meddled with her. She does seem to avoid them as much as possible. Chang-soo’s defense goes unheard as Ji-yi reaches over him to hold Yoon-ha’s hand and apologize for earlier, and he’s caught in an awkward spot as the two women seem to forget he’s even there. Guess I've long stopped expecting KDs to be realistic. I didn't miss the nuance behind Ji Yi's warning to Joon ki not to fire Yoon ha, that anyone who messes with her either finds themselves bankrupt or hurt in some way. which is fine imo, second otp is cute but im glad they arent our main otp. My point is that she shouldn't run to Oppa to solve her crises for her. gradually and for both. Joon-ki just shakes his head at his friend’s assumptions and muses, “I always thought that only poor people had victim mentalities, but rich people have the same mindset.” Chang-soo claims it’s actually just elitism as he chomps into the sandwich Ji-yi made for Joon-ki. Can't wait for next two episodes!!! Yes, it is an easy way out and not something her friend could do but she never showed any wish to fully live as a poor person so it is not cheating, she made no promises. I think he is suspicious and attracted and that makes him curious. Plus, he’s absolutely adorable. She knows he’s a good person, despite his worry that good people don’t make it in business.
