~opening~
🐻: in our life, we’ll often encounter issues waiting for us to solve them. The process to solve them can be tough yet rewarding. What is a problem you’ve solved today?

🐻: in school, our teachers often emphasized the importance of process when solving math problems. Similarly, in life don’t always chase the answer - first, do every step of the process well and we’ll get a pretty good end result!

~Today’s TMI~
OP accompanied her little sister to pick out a wedding dress last weekend and is feeling emotional, but seeing her smiling so happily trying on dresses OP just wishes she’s forever happy and is already anticipating being a crying mess at her wedding

~Moonlight Cinema w/ Zhuama~
🐻: have you been to Itaewon?
👩🏻: of course! But not often these days. The Halloween events there are quite famous!
🐻: ahh I haven’t been to those events, but there’s a Halloween scene featured in the drama we’re discussing today!

👩🏻: There are a lot of foreigners who like to live in that area (like exchange students), you can see a lot of foreigners gathering at Itaewon
🐻: that’s right…I am also a foreigner 😂
👩🏻: oh right 😆 we often accidentally don’t see ourselves as such haha

Today’s drama is “Itaewon Class”!
imdb.com/title/tt112395…
🐻: this is a cool drama
👩🏻: have u seen it?
🐻: of course! I watched the premiere with my members - we waited for the new release on the “N” site every week 😂 we had snacks/food while watching together it was very fun!

Basic synopsis: Zhuama talked about how “Itaewon Class” was first broadcasted in 2020 and based on the webtoon (same name) that was about a teen’s path to avenge his father’s d3ath

Now playing “Start Over” by Gaho

open.spotify.com/track/3e4tHEcy…

🐻: hearing this song always reminds me of the feeling of first seeing Park Saeroyi (t/n: main character played by Park Seojoon)

Zhuama talked about how this drama gained a lot of popularity and won several awards and introduced the lead actors Park Seojoon and Kim Dami

🐻: Park Saeroyi’s hairstyle was very trendy back then haha
👩🏻: did u ever think about getting ur hair cut like that?
🐻: I didn’t, but we have a member WinWin who cut his hair like that 😂 so that hairstyle was was used in our first full album that year hahaha

🐻: we were like wah~ as expected haha because his face is very you know…it’s very handsome so it really suited this hairstyle 😂
👩🏻: do yo want to try it? 😆
🐻: me?? Ah maybe if there’s an opportunity in the future…
👩🏻: Although it’s not trendy anymore haha but I acknowledge+

+ it can show if a guy is actually handsome 😂 you‘ll be able to see if the guy is still handsome after getting this haircut
🐻: LOLL

Zhuama talked about the origin of “Itaewon Class” name which is the food stall featured in the drama and then Kun and ZM talked about street food

Now playing “Still Fighting It” by Lee Chan Sol (original song by Ben Folds)

Now they’re talking about the plot details, which I will omit per usual unless it’s needed for additional context for conversations I’m translating! Here’s the wiki and there are other episode by episode summaries if you look around~

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itaewon_C…

Now playing “Diamond” by Ha Hyun Woo

open.spotify.com/track/5Ts430nK…

(T/N: It was all plot details between the last song and this one haha)

Now playing “Someday, The Boy” by Kim Feel

open.spotify.com/track/18QOSOWv…

Kun and Zhuama talked about how the chemistry between Park Saeroyi and Kim Dami were a key point as well even though majority of the film was about the Itaewon class business and Kun said the watching sudden confession was really funny

🐻: the most memorable character for me was the head chef. He has a “I am me what are you gonna do about it” personality especially during that competition so his firm personality left an impression on me

🐻: I’ve seen this drama 2-3 times. At the beginning it was really good and as the episodes went on it became one of those “eat while you watch” dramas

Zhuama talked about older dramas with similar vibes “My Lovely Sam Soon” (2005) and “Bread, Love, and Dreams” (2010)

Kun was like “we are from different generations 😂” because he had heard of one of the dramas but weren’t familiar with them at all

Now playing “Sweet Night” by V
