Flowers in Sand Eps 3-4 SPOILERS *********************************************** I like that Baek-du isn't in the dark about whats going on for an extended period of time, everything cleared up this week which is pretty snappy progression for a drama. He might be a little dense but he can be surprisingly intuitive about other stuff as the show pointed out (coulda done without the explicit narration of this tidbit at the end of ep 4). All the ssireum stuff is awesome and I want more of it. Random tidbits - none of the detective stuff really makes that much sense but its not actively detracting from the show being good so far - Baek-du breaking down because he took the change cracked me up - I wish we had gotten to see the final round of the match between him and Jin-su........... don't know why but I find the ssireum matches thrilling - the conversations between Baek-du and not Du-sik were hilarious, informal and then tacking a -yo at the end to sort of keep it formal since she is definitely "not Du-sik" - appreciate that someone finally put their foot down and brought Baek-du back towards ssireum - nice contrast to last week where he was lamenting that no one stopped him from quitting - Baek-du and Du-sik both light up around each other and become much more alive/animated - just looking at her brought him around to accepting JIn-su's challenge and helped drive him to give the match his all later - more scenes with them together please - I like the moments we saw between Baek-du and Jin-su moms

@Trent - GAH!

Oldboy. Whew, okay. So that was both *intense* and *messed up*, yo. I'm usually alright with gore, but even I had to turn my head/close my eyes a couple times (and not from an *excess* of blood -- Moving had way more blood and stabbings and such, by sheer volume -- but because the particular application and context was very squeamish-making. Brrr.)
