Ashley alban early joi3/8/2024 He’s like a flagger in a racetrack, preparing for the big event. Now, he’s observing the whereabouts of the groom-to-be and the bride-to-be. Not only is he precise and logical, he also has keen situational awareness of what’s going on. Smart, isn’t it? Hoon immediately spots the obvious impediment to the romance.īTW, that’s another one of his personality quirk. That’s what Hoon means when he says there needs to be a “gap” in the sky. The only way they can meet each other is to get them SEPARATED from the rest. But in order to CATCH a star, you need a GAP in the sky.Īs I mentioned earlier, the two people are always surrounded by company. You see, there’s no question that in order to SEE a star you need to look up at the sky. Now, I’m not Korean and I don’t speak the language but I’m going with the Viki sub on this one. Here’s the dramabeans version, “One can only catch a star when one has a moment to look up at the sky.” The kissasian sub agrees with dramabeans, too. It tells me that he’s well-read, bookish, scholarly…although I doubt that he actually took the state exams to qualify him as a scholar.įrom the balcony, he states, “In order to catch a star, there needs to be a gapin the sky.” From his “ivory tower,” he likes to quote adages, cite rules, or make lofty pronouncements. He sees himself as separate, or ABOVE from the fray. Note: His location is symbolic of his mindset towards love and romance. The mastermind of the crew, Ma Hoon, observes the street scene below him, from the safe distance of a second-floor balcony. On paper, they’re a 100% match but since a) they reject a formal matchmaking, and b) they’re always surrounded by their coterie of friends, the Flower Crew must stage an accidental meeting. Both the bride-to-be and the groom-to-be reject matchmaking, and believe in fate. But so far, the technique of the Flower Crew proves to be quite unique.įor instance, our introduction to the Flower Crew shows them hard at work “staging” an accidental meeting between the two marriage prospects. Granted, the screenwriter is female (her other drama was “I am Not a Robot”) so we’re still getting the female interpretation of “what should be” a man’s mindset. The second reason I’m watching this romcom is to see how men would approach matchmaking and whether their methods would vary significantly from that of a female matchmaker. I’m attracted to bright little things that I can carry in my head, and drop guilt-free after I tire of them. That’s one reasonI’m watching Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency. They’re the equivalent of Jane Austen period dramas. My favorite fusion sageuk are the light and fluffy, Joseon-pretty, romcoms.

It's a teenage dream to be seventeen, apparently.I think I might just sling on an old gold lamé jumpsuit, grab a curtain tie-back off the bay windows of the local Turkish restaurant for a headband, and boogie on down with Mr Richie Weeks and his hyperactive chums. Never mind the storms, we have end-of-week parties to plan ! The skanky weather hasn't exactly helped - but at least we did take delivery of a new (and rather imposing) new garden bench, which we (eventually) managed to put together yesterday and is now proudly dominating the garden, shrugging off the rain. It might have been a short week, but it was a particularly annoying one, and I am rather glad it's coming to its conclusion.
