The Prime Minister and I Ep 8-9 Discussion Post

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

Starring Lee Bum Soo and Im Yoon Ah

At 42-years-old, Kwon Yool (Lee Beom Soo) is South Korea's youngest prime minister ever. On top of his reputation of being an honest man of the utmost integrity, he's also a widower who raises his three children alone. But what the public doesn't know is that despite his perfect image, Prime Minister Kwon is actually a struggling father devoid of even the most basic of parenting skills. Nam Da Jung (Yoona) is a journalist who resorts to writing trashy tabloids to support her ailing father, but when she chases Prime Minister Kwon for a lucrative exposé, she ends up scooping a whole lot more than she bargained for.

Episode 8:

Da Jung and Kwon Yool start to develop feelings for each other, but other factors prevent them from telling one another.

Episode 9:
When Reporter Byun catches wind of a potential relationship between Da Jung and Director Kang, he allies with Minister Park and tries to catch them in the act.

Could anyone tell me what was happening in that gif? and also is the show worth watching? because i don't watch dramas.

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

i have no idea what's happening in the gif (i haven't watched the episodes yet). i'm someone who doesn't watch dramas either, only ones with snsd in it. and out of all the snsd dramas, i think this is the best so far :)

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

I might give it a try then, thanks :)

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the info and good luck with the drama! hope you still like it and finish it.

Episode 9 was perfect! I thought it will turn dark and angsty but it gets hilarious twist instead lol

really feeling dajung's frustrations already when she's letting it all out + got so annoyed with prime minister most of the episode (stop letting your brother-in-law get into you!!!)

and then he just hugged her and i DIED b y e

also can we have the other OSTs lmao i love footsteps but like it's been 9 episodes already

Re: spoilers

[misoras.livejournal.com]

ia about the ost thing. i'm kind of confused as to why there's only one*. but i get confused when a drama has like 17 different ost songs too.

*i guess they're focusing on the instrumentals rather than the songs?? which are so so so lovely, so i don't mind tbh.

Re: spoilers

[kevinmchale.livejournal.com]

they should release the instrumentals then! well if it's theirs lol but i'm liking the music tbh i just want more

I feel ya. I love the piano background music in this drama I wanna dl it

Re: spoilers

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping the piano bits get released, they're really pretty. And yeah, I'm tired of hearing Taemin's voice lmao, I was hoping for a Soshi OST too!

i start to like the other caracters more than the lead... especially those who are supposed to be the "bad" ones. i understand secretary Seo and YSY. even the brother in law minister. at first i thought he was envious but actually he's still hurt because of his sister's death...
btw i hope this restaurant thing in the teaser where PM gives roses is a joke. it looked too creepy ^^

[peacefulscream.livejournal.com]

Oh YSY. Why do I keep rooting for you when it's obvious that you won't get the girl?

[achan123.livejournal.com]

is this show funny? should i watch it???

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

It's cute and it's doing a good job of being both funny and serious (like, it's not slapsticky but it's also not solemn or tense). It's a good light drama so I'm hoping it doesn't go downhill.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

hmm
i think i'll watch it once its done.
thanks! ^^

I'm really enjoying watching this, but sometimes it's hard for me to truck through when Kwon Yool is being such a jerk to Da Jung. It really strikes me the wrong way that she's perpetually being scolded like a baby. But it improved a lot with these two episodes.

[hibaalhadid.livejournal.com]

Enjoying this drama so much, it's cute, funny and a bit serious, Man Se is sooooo cute and his interaction with Da Jeon is cute

waiting for next episode to see what'll happen after that hug

[chibiyunie.livejournal.com]

MAN SE IS SUCH A CUTE THING ♥
That being said, I seriously love this drama to pieces. It is light and has the right combination of funny, cute and serious.

I am however annoyed by the brother in law. He is such a jerk and I know he lost his sister but expecting PM to constantly think of her (and criticizing him when he isn't) even after seven years - come on, allow him to make a new start and move on.

I do wonder what is going on with the brother in law & the Chief of Staff guy (forgot his name, lol). Did his brother have an affair with the wife of the PM? Since they both had a car accident. But that wouldn't explain why he has a vendetta against PM. I also remember him saying something about his brother following the one he loves? Or am I totally mixing up shows here? :'D

I think the Chief Of Staff and NDJ are cute as a button together and I sorta wouldn't mind if they end up together ♥

Also I feel like the Secretary Seo can't be totally trusted either. Her loyalty goes to the PM but you can see her swallow away a lot of anger and frustration everytime NDJ comes up, lol.

I had the same thoughts about cheif kang's brother too! he said something like "i told my brother not to go, but in the end he decided to be with the one he loves" and that it ultimately caused his brother's death or something like that. Plus the part where the prime minister is having a flashback of photos of his wife and another man going in the same car lead me to believes this. But it could always be different later on in the story! Im really curious as well :)

Manse was totally cute here! haha.. Dajeong has won over both Nara and Ajumma to her side..

Park Joongki is acting completely inane imo. Yes, Nayoung and the PM /may/ have had an utterly distant marriage, but you're no golden husband to your wife either..

And speaking of which..Inho should have figured out he'd been double crossed by Park Joongki now..
