Inspiring Generations is reaching a boiling point. First off episode 13…. FEELZ!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry this one is a SPOILER for sure so if you are not watching then don’t read this, if you watch regularly then go ahead and read this to relive all the FEELZ!!! For instance as I mentioned before EPISODE 13!!!! Shin Jung Tae basically proposed to Ok Reyeon saying that he wanted to live the rest of his days beside her and then they shared an intimate kiss that I can’t be jealous about because I totally “ship” Shin Jung Tae and Ok Reyeon.
One thing that everyone seems to realizes in both episodes 13/14 is that Deguchi Gaya is definately the one who killed Shin Jung Tae's Father (previous owner of Shanghai apparently). Luckily for Gaya she is using the right to claim that she did it as by request from the deceased as he had been attacked by someone and was dying slowly. He wanted his life ended so not to be in tortured in agony of internal bleeding. On the other side Gaya realizes who attacked Jung Tae's father, which brings in the irony of the drama. Evidence shows that the Assistant Leader of Hwangbang was the one who beat Jung Tae's father and in further scenes, the leader of Hwangbang and the assistant leader pretty much say they did it during a conversation together. All the while Jung Tae doesn't know or realize any of this. How about how Jung Tae barges into Gaya's spot and fights/beats all her guys like its nothing???
And when he goes to her and she says she killed his father that look on his face was like he had gone mad, I really didn't know if he wanted to kill her or kiss her LOL!!!! Gaya tells him that she always believed that he was truthful in the fact that his father hadn't killed her father, which is evidence that Jung Tae is in her heart. But I am wondering if he is done with the Feelz he once had for her or is he just needing time to get his head right about all of it? I am really wondering about their fates. What will come of them? Who will live? Who will die? Will Jung Tae be with the sweet loving Ok Reyeon or will he die with Gaya because I have a feeling she has an ill fate ahead. I think alot of characters will die. And since when does the Princess of Il Gook Hwae tell the enemy to go become the owner of Bamgsamtong???
Now in Episode 14 Jung Jae Hwa asks Shin Jung Tae to work under him in which Jung Tae is like Wae? Before they can get into it the others run to tell Jung Jae Hwa that the "police" are out beating people and asking for papers which is a surprise because these particular "police" don't usually do it on that particular day. Especially since the other group was doing it on the same day. The Leader of Hwangbang ordered that to show Jung Jae Hwa who was the true owner of Bamgsamtong. Of course when Jung Tae sees the police beating all the people, he goes into action and starts fight the police. He would have gotten away with it if that dummy Jung Jae Hwa hadn't of sucker punched him and allowed the police to grab him and says that he should be put in federal pen. Unfortunately for Jung Jae Hwa the people of Bamgsamtong saw Jung Tae the way he saw his father, as a hero. Now the chick that hangs with Ok Reyeon who Jung Jae Hwa wants to get with is sketchy because she tells him the only way for him to become the owner of Bamgsamtong is to kill Jung Tae. Yet she also is the one who treats Jung Tae's wounds and knows that Ok Reyeon is in love with him so what gives??? I swear the only person who truely loves Jung Tae is Ok Reyeon. Shinichi makes his way to Shanghai as word goes out that Gaya let Jung Tae walk in and out of her spot alive. Excuse me but does it seem like Shinichi and that one Military dude seem to be in love with Gaya????? Seems like they want to protect her for personal reasons than for Il Gook Hwae. The military guy who has now become a public affairs officer shows up, with Shinichi comes Dgoo and the last scenes Shinchi and the assistant leader of Hwang Bang fight and during this fight Dgoo whispering in Jung Tae's ear about how the assistants fighting style creates a terrible bruise on the chest, which is the same bruise Jung Tae's father had, on his chest.... so now Jung Tae has the idea in his head, in the meantime, Gaya is questioning Hwang Bang about the death of her mother.
By the way... its so hard keeping up with characters' names.... GEESH!!!
I would like to do this rationally, but after tonight's episode of Inspiring Generation I am trying to just contain myself. I've never been so excited to see Wednesday/Thursday in my life. ESPECIALLY after I saw this photo show up on instagram. I was like OMG I need for this to happen. I want Shin Jung Tae and Ok Reyeon to be together, but this show is different as I can't follow with themes that correlate to Korean Dramas. For instance the male lead, that would be Shin Jung Tae, well he treats Ok Reyeon poorly, but technically Gaya is the Female lead, so technically that's who he should be with, right? So I could be looking at a reverse of the Male Lead/ Male Second lead syndrome. If you aren't aware of these things PLEASE SEE Boys Over Flowers IMMEDIATELY.
Understand that the Second Male Lead is FOREVER ALONE.... it seems Kim Hyun Joong began as the second male lead and knows that feeling. In this case Gaya seems to be our Female Lead and Ok Reyeon is our second female which means there is a STRONG possibility that she will be the forever alone OR end up with that random really hot dude, Kim Soo-Ok (Kim Jae-Wook) (which I mean YUM)!!! Yeah BTW he is a scene stealer!!! (Kim Hyun Joong Hwaiting!!!!) I really would like Ok Reyeon and Shin Jung Tae to be together but I feel like this is about to be like House of Flying Daggers and everybody is gonna die.... Ooooo joesonghabnida (Sorry) for such a prediction. I guess I am preparing myself for the worst. Last time we saw Shin Jung Tae buy a ring intended for Ok Reyon, and this episode we see them kiss passionately (Better than all of Kim Hyun Joong's on screen kisses like ever, who has he been practicing with and I am Jelly!!) BUT He pisses her off saying Gaya in is his sleep and then Ok Reyeon's mom pleads with him to sort of leave Ok Reyeon alone. I wonder if he will listen to her? Ok Reyeon also sort of tells Gaya to leave Jung Tae alone. This drama will go on... we have 17 more episodes to go.... in the meantime I would just like to say:
KIM HYUN JOONG!!!!!!!!
Is he not the best ever. I am so surprised to see him like this, I barely recognize him. I mean not just in the appearance I mean he has been sporting this look since the end of June and through the summer with the release of the mini album Unbreakable. I had also gotten use to the body, he's been showing off those muscle also since the summer, but this character... Shin Jung Tae really is NOT a flower boy at all. There is always action, he is obviously going to have cuts and bruises throughout this drama. (OMG when he practically crawled to Ok Reyeon and then says: Why did you wait? Its Cold. OMG!!! FEELZ BUT the best scene was when Ok Reyeon's friend came into the room where Shin Jung Tae was lying asleep and shirtless and she like sort grabs his chest lol, I was like did she just fan girl???) I am excited about all the action, Kim Hyun Joong is not the whole show (which kind of sucks). Remember City Hunter with Lee Min Ho, well that was a simple drama where he was almost ALWAYS seen on screen, but Inspiring Generation has so many characters that honestly we hardly get a chance to see Kim Hyun Joong.When we do see him he is fighting, recovering from fighting or saying a few lines here or there. Honestly its hard to keep up with all the characters and storylines because there are several it seems like every one has something going on. At the end of the day, Kim Hyun Joong's eyes are so gorgeous he really doesn't need lines he could just like stand there (shirtless). Even with less scenes (So far) he is still amazing (BIAS)!!!
How can I begin with this first installment of this week’s
Inspiring Generation review? Hmmm? How about….
OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!
Kwak Dong Yun is really bringing Shin Jung Tae to life for
us. Or am I just falling in love with him? Looks like we are dealing with the
Type B Male Lead here. (I will discuss
the difference between Male Lead type A and type B later). He is so sweet and
caring that he could almost be killed from it. He wears his heart on his sleeve,
but that might all change, because when we first met Kim Hyun Joong’s, Jung Tae,
he was quiet and mysterious, he didn’t seem very nice at all.
(Memories of Baek Seung Jo appear…Playful Kiss is another
blog post for another day*sighs*)
Episode 3 shows us that things are slowly changing for Jung
Tae as he is getting in deep with the Dobinori Gang and showing feelings for
Gaya (poor Ok Reyeon).
Jealousy is everywhere.(**Spoiler ALERT**) Ok Reyeon sees Deguchi Gaya kiss Shin Jung Tae on
the cheek; there should be some rivalry there, but after I saw the ending of
episode 3, I am not sure what could happen with these two. The rivalry could be
um…deadly. At first I was a little confused about which of the ladies are the
lead. I am not sure if this drama is going to be as cookie cutter as some of
the previous drama’s we have watched such as “The Heirs” where we know who the
male lead is and the second male lead so therefore we already know who will get
the girl and who won’t, but with Inspiring Generation and the twist we see at
the end, I am not sure how all this will work out, but now I see how Gaya
(*Spoiler Alert**) becomes Shin Jung Tae’s
enemy. What is obvious according to all things Korean Drama, Shin Jung Tae will
pretty much love Gaya and Ok Reyeon is probably forever the yeodongsaeng (friend zone little sister also known as
forever alone). But this is just a prediction.Honestly I am confused about this love triangle.
It also appears that there will be some clashing with in the
Dobinori as one character seems to “feel some type of way”(also known as
jealousy) about Shin Jung Tae and the attention given to him by the other
Dobinori. There is also Do Ggoo from the other gang who has the thirst for
revenge on Jung Tae as well.
Episode 3 also shows us a lot of the fathers’ backstory both
Jung Tae and Gaya’s as they were once comrades. (Can someone say City Hunter? Remember
that that plot twist, of course that is another one for another day, so much
drama so little time!)
I thought episode 2 hooked me, but episode 3 succeeded in
making me an official fan. After the episode I said out loud to myself: “Ooooo,
it hurts inside. Ooooo it hurts inside.” Meaning there were too many “feelz”
and I almost couldn’t handle it. Love that turns into ugly revenge. Fathers,
sons. Fathers, Daughters. A sick sister. A gang of smugglers. The chance of
dying to jump a train. Random samurai killing folks. That one guy with that one
weird eye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s all so much!!!!
I tell you what I
really can’t handle is waiting for 10 o’clock in Korea so it can air there so
then Viki gets it and gets it translated so I can then watch it!!!!
Can’t wait to see Kim Hyun Jung return as Shin
Jung Tae!!!
