Robbers: a little picspam
So yeah, I restarted Robbers and finished ep 3.
I really love how the vibrant and joyful and clean spaces of Dal Rae's apartment are, the purely feminine space (grandmother, mother, and daughter) is contrasted with the cluttery, mucky places Oh Joon is in, unless he is in a scene with her. Her evironment has a certain kind of purity and peace in it, doesn't it?
She collapsed because it's the anniversary of husband's death and he ended up taking her to a hospital because he was around. And here is where you first begin to think there might be more there, for him, than just the money that would save him from the mobsters. He took her to the hospital though she didn't know him from Adam in her delirium, but fine, he didn't want her to keel over and thus lose an opportunity, but here he is sitting and he is tucking her in even though she is unconscious. It's a little gesture of unselfish caring. Oh, and he just had another nosebleed...sign of hideous illness in drama-land of course.
But it's Lee Da Hae (my fave kdrama actress). How could you not fall for her?
He leaves because Doc Lady was one of his former customer-marks.
It's always so grey and mucky when he is in scenes by himself.
Doc Lady! And she is sort of ruefully amused by him, neither a victim nor a harpy, but someone who enjoyed a fling with a handsome siwndler and is ultimately OK with it. I love the way the women are portrayed in this drama.
Her Mom-in-law. I love the relationship between them: they are women who are a family and love each other.
Some shots for prettiness:
He calls the hospital to ask if Dal Rae is OK:
Scenes with Other Guy (who is hilarious, only courting Dal Rae because his father ordered him) and Dal Rae's kid are hilarious. The guy is clueless about kids.
I love how the kid isn't postcard perfect but a bit of a spoiled brat. Still a darling though.
She does remember bits from her fever:
I loved this scene:
He is kicked out by his roommate so he calls this clerk he knows. I feel awful for the girl with her sad little life. He tries to be kind and leave her, but if he sees it as kindness for her it's more abandonment.
I love how they sort of cut between hope (Dal Rae and her lovely little world) and desperation that is Oh Joon's life.
