Our host Minal is back with our guests Benny and Vipula. At halfway mark, we will review Episode 10 and 11 of Moving Kdrama. These two episodes focus on Jang Ju-won’s backstory - the superhero we lovingly call the Hulk.
Episodes 10-11 moves between different timelines as we learn how JuWon goes from a life of crime to a government agent. And we get to experience another great love story as he meets the love of his life, Hwang Ji-Hee.
We have aptly titled this pod review as ‘Rivers of Blood’, because of the sheer Tarantino level violence dotting the script. Again, spoilers from the drama, so we suggest you watch it first and then listen to this Deep Dive.
Episode Outline:
- The ‘Monster’ in the opening night club sequence
- Ju-won’s self-employment tactics
- Ji-Hee & Ju-Won meet and the two lonely souls save each other
- Ju-Won’s life in the underworld & Min-gi’s betrayal
- The Hulk’s Courting Style
- Hee-soo is Ji-Hee’s daughter
- Director Min puts Ju-won through the ultimate test
- Iconic hallway fight sequence
- Dooshik makes an interesting choice and we swoon over him
