EDITORS NOTE: Impressions Of “Protect The Boss” and “Scent Of A Woman”

110822 Editorial Impressions of “Protect The Boss” and “Scent  Of  A Woman”

Earlier I posted my impressions of the first “Protect The Boss” and “Scent Of A Woman’ episodes. At the time, I kept them separate, but as time has gone on, I am beginning to see these two dramas as related one to another. We catch glimpses and inferences; images and cameos that link these two productions together as a part of the work of JYJ. The old saying,”You can’t keep a good man down” applies here because the sheer, raw talent of Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu are what is keeping them in the public eye despite the setbacks from their contract disputes. Even the negative things keep their names in the headlines, and that is a blessing. It means that they are constantly before us and producing excellent work that has to be acknowledged even by those who oppose them.

“Protect The Boss” continues to entertain with that underlying theme of corporate rivalry between the Cha male cousins. This rivalry presents itself as continually desiring and having to share goals and people. Somehow, I believe that they are going to have to realize that they will accomplish more together as allies than rivals. How their love lives will turn out is still hard to guess, but both of them deserve happiness. One element that disturbs me is the amount of violence displayed between parent and son, and subsequently between other characters in the drama. It is treated in a comical manner, but relays a subtle message. Also, the amount of maneuvering, backbiting, and intrique are social problems showcased in “Protect The Boss’, and also in ‘Scent of A Woman’.

“Scent Of A Woman” is one of the best Korean melodramas I have viewed. It has such realism, including the circumstances that bring Lee Yoon Jae to a place of desperation, and the fight of Kang Ji Wook against the old system of arranged marriages. There are so many layers to this drama there could have been three or four dramas produced with the available material.

We are finally seeing by Episode 9 the truth about Lee Yoon Jae’s cancer coming to light. Kang Ji Wook literally stands at the door of discovery of what has been motivating Lee Yoon Jae all this time. Will he be strong enough to withstand this new problem in their relationship on top of every other obstacle that has come their way?  Does Kang Ji Wook deserve to lose every family tie in pursuit of his relationship with Lee Yoon Jae. We will just have to wait and see how this all turns out. We may not get what we want, which would be freedom from cancer and therefore life for Lee Yoon Jae, and deliverance from a corporate world rife with inner intrigues and obligations for Kang Ji Wook, but we can hope for the best conclusion. Since we are all imaginative, we can make our own endings if this turns out negatively. The angst in this melodrama is palpable and touches the heart. We can all learn from watching this drama unfold.

Love the contrast between Changmin and Yunho’s voice in the chorus, high and low. So delicious, like sharp mint and melting chocolate, and the piano in the background, the driving beat….full version please? :)

  • Hello, please get note of a important situation.The quantity of TVXQ Keep Your Head Down album sales are not very impressive.The quantity of the album sales is not as much as the past year.This may cause they are quite hard to get the Golden Disk Award in the year end.

    Because Super Junior 5th album few days already broke 6,0000 album sales. Unfortunately, TVXQ 5th album the A version from the first half year untill now was less than 10,0000 album sales.

    Cassiopeia, please RE-Buy the 5th album to increase the quantity album sales.

    PLEASE MAKE SURE THOSE ALBUM PURCHASE CHANNEL ARE COUNTED TO THE KOREA OFFICIAL ALBUM SALES AND INCLUDED IN THE KOREA MUSIC CHART SUCH AS HANTEO CHART AND GOAN CHART. SUGGEST TO ORDER OR BUY FROM KOREA MUSIC RECORD STORE SUCH AS HOTTRACK OR SYNARA.

    If TVXQ didn’t get the GDA Award in the year end, they may be seriously isolated by SM. Entertainment, and their future will be destroyed.

    Please spread out this news to the whole world for many many Cassiopeia to support the 5th album and help TVXQ to fight for the GDA Award.

    Now we need the power and unite of Cassiopeia from the whole world to help TVXQ. Because if only depend on the Asia state Cassiopeia is quite hard to increase the album sales effectively. Please support the 5th album and any poll that related to the GDA.

    Sorry for any interruption and thank you for reading this message. Please help TVXQ

    • . . .Not that I think anyone would have really paid attention to the above comment but you know, in case people were wondering. Another article:—

      It wouldn’t be fair to say that the sales for TVXQ’s album in the first half of 2011 was bad, but in comparison to some more aggressive fan clubs, we do not have that much of an advantage. If the rumors about a certain group’s upcoming comeback prove to be true, then we will have yet another strong competitor. The fight for the end of year awards will be tough.

      In the case of many groups, sales numbers for year 2011 are a highly important matter. For our boys, it is the symbol of HoMin’s rebirth after 2 long years; it is an opportunity for the two to prove themselves. To another group, the album released this year may be the last that we see in a long time with so many members still present, their fans swore to unite and help their idols shine. And this other group… it is no surprise that they may have hopes of winning the award again.

      Faced with this situation, it is time that Cassiopeia woke up to reality, don’t fall behind and linger on the glorious past, don’t reject the present. More importantly, don’t lose your senses and allow yourself to be consumed by arrogance because of our boys’ status and history. In the end, it all comes down to actual sales figures.

      GDA is awarded based on the following:
      60% sales
      20% popularity votes
      20% judges’ decision

      Though some aspects are clearly beyond our control, sales figures are real and concrete, they provide sold, irrefutable proof that TVXQ is truly deserving of the award.

      How much time and effort has it cost the two members to stand on stage again bearing the name of TVXQ? How anxious do you think they are to see Cassiopeia, the fan club who has stood by them and continued to keep faith? Remember the promise that Yunho said he’d been secretly keeping?
      He said he would not cry until he feels he has done his very best and that he will cry to his heart’s content at the end of this year, once everything is over…

      Remember the 2 years that we waited?

      Chinese Cassiopeia (T/N: Obviously this shouldn’t be limited to Chinese fans only, international fans should take part too… that’s why I’m translating this), let’s show them through our actions that we’ve never left, use actual sales figures to thank them for their hard work. For the sake of the tears of pride and joy we will no doubt be shedding at the end of the year, let us all strive to fulfill our promises. Dong Bang Shin Ki has always been our greatest pride, let’s make them proud this time?
