#braem rambles

anyway let's get it. the hypothesis is that if he was 17 in that scene where he got beaten up (I don't think he would tolerate any more beating after 18, he'd fight back) and seojin was at least 5 blowing on his wounds cutely, they'd have a 12 years gap. or 13 if she was 4. which means, that considering seojin graduated college on track at 22 in the year 2022 and shin cha-il came at her second year of career, she's 24 and and daewoong is 36 during the series.

now daewoong's actor jin goo was 44 (b. 1980) during filming - which is also possible to be daewoong's age but considering seojin was at least 5 or 4 during that scene, it's too big of a gap. again, i don't think daewoong would tolerate anymore beating after 18. (he could be even younger in that scene, so the gap would be closer, but the keyword of the flashback was my highschool days and all.)

so this statement baffles me.

either someone is not considering things right in the script or mr yang was exaggerating his loyalty OR he did saw the 6/7 year old son of his CEO being bullied by his older brothers so often and just decided to defend him from then on, hence the claim. hilarious headcannon but very possible - and most touching. in this perspective, daewoong is easily in the hero/victim position and the brothers the villain, which is an interesting view (shounen arc much?) still hilarious, so i'll give you daewoong's pretty smile to entertain ourselves.

(honestly this all depends heavily on seojin's age because with the flashback scene and how she's a junior employee, i really don't think daewoong could be any older that 37. hardly. possible. that's my cake, eat it.)

talking about age again, i like to think that the gap between the older two and daewoong is more than a mere two-three years. even though they look like very mean college kids here.

but - gunwoong had two kids, right? the oldest at least 16 or 15 years old.

the son was wearing a jacket in the hospital scene (ep 2 i believe?) while his sister was in a uniform, it's possible to presume that he just started college, so 18 at most.

say that gunwoong got married in his late 20s - around 27, and had kids soon after. with that number, he'd passed away at… 42-ish. at least. but i think him and sewoong could be way older than that, because it's vewy reasonable to me that when the two were in early elementary years, 6 or 7 year olds, their emotionally distant dad just brings in a new woman after their mother passed with a baby in tow. without the right orientation that would have been a despicable prospect that the hate lasted years after. equally worse even if only daewoong comes to be raised in the house when their mother's alive because father wants to take responsibility for the bastard. same deal if there are no mothers around and just three brothers not knowing what to do with each other. no healthy emotional attendance or proper parent figure, plus the influence of how others might degrade daewoong's low birth, so they just—sewoong hated his guts and gunwoong only started to acknowledge daewoong a year before he died like—

he ended up rising above them all. damn king.

me when the temporary teacher got stabbed: (blinks)... i mean I don't like you, not that I want you to die either. oh well.

so what was bang kisoo looking for loitering in the school like that? his files to better his report? the files of the ones with powers to verify things? maybe han byul's memory card too? to observe what had happened in the gym? to pick up a fight with kanghoon? man i lost somethings really...

...so kisso wasn't the one to sabotage that jumpboard?

it was that temp teacher/agent?

anyway what is wrong with that tempt teacher honestly - did he sabotage kisoo's ankle just to find out if he has power or just out of sheer distaste like...?

gosh i hate him now, but he died! we'd never know his motives!

(the way this drama have 20 ep but i still have questions)

(it's the flashbacks. too many flashbacks when we could've gotten new scenes. i always hate this abt kdramas)

on the good side, kisoo going soft and protective with han byul when he realized the NK agents aren't here to play

that was a really short and sudden ship but o ma gosh the potential

hyewon too deserved more screen time - like suddenly moving schools too?

like honestly a bummer that they're graduating college - bongseok, huisoo, hyewon, han byul, ganghoon and kisoo would have been such a good friend group (or pairing, if you want it that way. the potential is there, honestly)

anyway about kanghoon - takes-his-duty-seriously class president kanghoon

wanna see him working as an agent/civil servant in the NIS

working under that seagull guy? *rubs hand excitedly* is gonn be fun honestly, man we need a SEQUEL we really do!! the next gen of supers is gonn wreck some stuff, i can feel it!

i came to this show to see mihyun and doosik but ended up being such a fan of guryongpo

mr ryu was the topmost actor in the wikipedia page so i was like, oh he's the main main guy turns out!

he came to any scene and i was like "guryongpo! he's alive! huisoo appa! 희수 아빠 멋있다! 희수 아빠 화이팅!!"

best man, best partner, best husbando, best dad

i thought frank rolling over him with that truck again and again was bad but then he had 200 gang members breaking his bones with their cars like... you've been through a lot sir.

episodes abt his and jaehee's married life was either the cutest or the most heartbreaking like staph, my heart cannot heal itself

unconventional couples are the cutest i swear by it

huisoo >< jaehee: helps lost adult men on the roadsides

juwon >< jaeman: protective dads

on a more depressing note, that useless jo principal might have orchestrated jaehee's accident.

maybe just to see if huisoo has powers. the wife dies as consequence? not my problem, i'm just gonna wait in this car.

his death seemed excruciating. well deserved, i might say.

and Frank still didn't die either lol not even fire stops him

curious as to what he's gonna do next 0.0

(crack suggestion: he can work at the chicken shop and they can rename the shop as immortal chickens)

(i don't know how huisoo got yongdeuk to work at the shop but if she can persuade her dad to take in a defector, she can persuade him to take in an assassin that once wanted to kills him)

(that's jaehee's passion running through her)

is elias gonna be worse or what? also a korean native?...gotta see that episode again to look at the boys

another thing i feel robbed off: reunions.

moonsan and guryongpo needs to meet up I NEED TO SEE IT

code names?? f- that, name's kim doosik. you're my hyung now, let's work well together.

THEY WERE PARTNERS FOLKS, PARTNERS. DOOSIK LEFT JUWON HIS KNIFE GAH

THE KIMS AND THE JANGS NEED TO EAT DONKASS AND CHIKIN TOGETHER!!!

(imagine the conversation abt huisoo and bongseok relationship will go abt lol)

(JW: sunbae, i respect you a lot, i'm glad you're back, but that's my only daughter-- DS: hyung, i just got to know my son again this year-- MH (towards the kids): i knew it, you two are just the sweetest!)

you know, for someone who doesn't know if her husband is alive or dead for 13-14 year but constantly waits for his return by leaving hints, mihyun is very composed at seeing dusik just landing on her rooftop

i don't know if i should credit that to her training as a black agent or toughened up by being a single mum for that long

but she didn't even react at seeing jang juwon at the teacher's office although it's been like, 24 years and suddenly you're here coz your kid's in the same school as mine? coincidence? I think not! this institution is more slippery than fish!

mihyun's really cool like, she's still that sharp and quick even after doing office jobs, farming, single-parenting and managing a restaurant. what a role model. you really don't forget your training huh?

Yellow Man Bongseok - Bunggaeman being his inspiration is just--

oh i also really liked how that NK agent pulled the trigger like you wanna look inside my loose sleves. wepl, surprise bish! the mechanics and how it's shot is just *chef's kiss*

you know for some scenes that we were robbed off, it's a lovely drama

i like action movies a decent amount, and this hits the spot. korean style,especially.
