Inspiring Generation!!! 17-22!!!

So I have to apologize... I went to a comic convention and never had a chance to #1 watch any episodes of Inspiring Generation and #2 I never had a chance to blog. So I have quite a bit to go over. So I'll do it the best I can with lots of pics...



Episode 17:

Jung Jae Hwa had his grand re-opening of the Shanghai Club. Ok Reyeon gets to sing but backstage.  It is during such time that Hwangbang threatens Leader Mo and forces him to fight Shin Jung Tae in order to regain some of his stability and to keep Hwangbang from killing his family. In a weird turn of events Shin Jung Tae beats Leader Mo. Also during this the Director of Intelligence Aoki has arrested Ok Reyeon in which Shin Jung Tae goes to get her, but gets caught by Aoki.

 Episode 18/Episode 19: 

In this episode Shin Jung Tae has gone after Ok Reyeon, but gets caught by Aoki. Shin Jung Tae then fights Aoki who punks out and brings out the firing squad, but before they can shoot Gaya sets the place on fire and they have to go take care of that, in the mean time DoGgo has

Ok Reyeon and cons her into signing paperwork for Hwangbang. So Hwangbang finds that Ok Reyeon is Shin Jung Tae's heart. Also Gaya reports to Il Gook Hwe everything that has occurred. Also On the low Hwangbang use a group of Mongolians to attack the people of Bamgsamtong and the actually killed about 10 people. This makes Jung Jae Hwa look to be a bad "owner." 

Episode 20:

In this episode Shin Jung Tae and Jung Jae Hwa have to fight. Shin Jung Tae beats Jung Jae Hwa and was trying to uncover what Hwang Bang had done by bringing the Mongolian who attack the town to confess who had told them to do it but before they could get it out the assistant leader of Hwang Bang killed them. Meanwhile at Il Gook Hwe the Boss is mad at everyone from Gaya to Aoki. He messing up Shinichi pretty bad making him unable to us his arm. He also puts out a hit on him, basically letting any and everyone know that if you see him take him out there is a reward. Gaya also comes at the big boss wrong as she talks all about how her mother loved a Joseon man (Korean) and was killed for it and she also says that she loves a joseon man (shin jung tae). Il Gook Hwe is falling. Also Ok Reyeon draws a map for Shin Jung Tae so that he can know his way through Hwangbang. While Shinichi brings some very important docs to Hwangbang.  A fight ensues.

Episode 21: First I just have to say Shin Jung Tae is a beast!!! He is a strong fighter and he thinks on his feets. He ninjas to HwangBang to save Ok Reyeon but ends up only really saving Gaya. (Go figure) But it is in this episode that with him, Leader Mo and the help of others he is able to create a plan that will cause HwangBang and Il Gook Hwe to attack each other in hopes to deplete Hwangbangs men while taking down Il Gook Hwe. We see Shin Jung Tae and friends blitz Il Gook Hwe. It is in this episode Shin Jung Tae and Gaya their first tender moment since their last when they were kids. AND!!!!! KIM HYUN JOONG's OST plays in the background yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOOOOO and by the way AOKI kills Il Gook Hwe's leader Denichi. Takes him right out!

Episode 22:
The Plan goes into action and it is a success, they deplete both Hwangbang and Il Gook Hwe. In the light of victory Shin Jung Tae ask to marry Ok Reyeon and they are wed. That is the most Important aspect of the episode to me LOL!!! BUT what will happen next. I have seen some spoilers for episode 23 so I am ready to cry my eyes out :(

Inspiring Generation Weekly Review Episodes 15/16

Yes Finally Shin Jung Tae realizes he is a pawn in this situation (The war between Hwangbang, and Il Gook Hwe). Finally he sees that there is something fishy about Hwangbang. Now he is starting to think instead of just fight. He goes to Hwangbang and asks if the leader, Seol Doo- Sung, to be his surrogate father as Jung Tae is now parent-less, of course Jung Tae did it in front of everyone in town and it would have looked terrible if the old man declined. So Jung Tae was adopted by Seol- Doo- Sung in a Chinese ceremony, making it almost impossible for Seol Doo Sung to kill Jung Tae it will make him look bad morally. Then Jung Tae says he wants to learn under Jae Hwa. He's sort of screwing with Hwangbang. The episode ends with Jung Tae and Jae Hwa back to back under attack at Club Shanghai, which is rather interesting to see these two together as they were once at odds. The TALK of episode 15 has nothing to do with Jung Tae fighting or trying take revenge for his fathers death, but was all about Kim Hyun Joong and his almost naked scenes, which lasted all of 5 seconds LOL!!! But it was kind of a big deal. I guess a bath in this time period, in this particular drama is the shower scene equivalent. Regardless thanks Korean Drama Gods because we love Kim Hyun Joong but more importantly we like him naked. Especially with the definition of muscles!!!

Here are some stills to further the imagination:

So episode 15 leaves us with Jung Tae and Jae Hwa in a bind, and it is with episode 16 that Leader Mo returns, unfortunately even though he helps the two in their situation he is there to take Club Shanghai and become the owner. It seems though that Hwangbang didn't mention that Shin Jung Tae had anything to do with the club and Leader Mo was like "what's up with that" in so many words. It was obvious to Leader Mo that Hwangbang had something again Jung Tae and was trying to get rid of him without having to do it themselves as Jung Tae was his "Son". In the mean time Aoki Doyama (the guy who gave Gaya the tip when she had to battle that one guy back in the day) he is in town and lets Gaya know that she needs to make more progress or it will be her life. Of course you can see he is in love with her so, I am wondering about that statement. Also while digging up info about Shin Jung Tae, Aoki Doyama is told of Ok Reyon's situation from the past when she killed ol' boy who was obviously of importance so I am nervous about her fate.
How cute are Jung Tae and Ok Reyeon? How hilarious was it when he walked in on Ok Reyeon about to get a shot of some medicine in her booty. And then he acts rather regular about seeing her butt saying he saw it as a child. They are becoming a loving couple so now I feel like I need to hold on to my seat because the more loving they become the more likely their relationship will have a tragic fate. So we are at Club Shanghai's grand opening and the rumor is that Leader Mo will fight Shin Jung Tae. Of course Hwangbang threatens to have Leader Mo's whole family murdered if he doesn't fight and beat Jung Tae. So Leader Mo is in a predicament as he has to think about his conscience as if was Jung Tae's father who saved him years ago in which he had debt to Jung Tae.
This drama takes me through a lot changes, so many FEELZ coming over me. GREAT Actors, GREAT characters!!! Next Week we will see episodes 17/18, which actually makes me sad as this is a 24 episode drama. So we are getting so close to the end. :-( I really don't know what will happen in the end. I really want Shin Jung Tae to live see that his sister didn't die, and marry Ok Reyeon living happily in some part of Asia. But that is just my wishful thinking... We should prepare for more fights!  

K-Drama Actor Spotlight: Kim Sung Oh

It seems like all of Korea can be seen in Inspiring Generation. Everytime I turn around I am like oh wait he's from *Insert Drama here*.  I think I already mentioned Kim Sung Oh but this time I decide to spot light him.

I know him from When A Man Loves (2013), where he was the older brother of  a young man who had fallen for the boss' "girl". The boss played by Song Seung Heon was also besties with Kim Sung Oh's character who had gone to jail instead on Song Seung Heon. This is apart the drama to unfold as the younger brother puts everything together.

Kim Sung Oh was also in the Kdrama, Secret Garden (2010). This is one of the dramas that I have heard so much about yet still haven't taken the time to marathon. Apparently the main theme of  Secret Garden is a body swap where the main characters pull a "Freaky Friday" and must live each others lives.

He is also well known for the KMovie, The Man From Nowhere which can currently be seen on Netflix.( I think I'll watch tonight or sometime soon.)  Kim Sung Oh plays a thug and apparently a playboy.

Although he is a great actor, what really caught  my attention was the fact that he has light eyes. Lights aren't eve my thing, but WOW!


 Kim Sung Oh has lots of other roles on his list of work and I am sure the list will grow after his role on Inspiring Generation.
