Re: K-Drama: 웃어라 동해야 (Smile Again / Smile Donghae)
My post-mortem on "Smile, Donghae": Boy, did this one start out with a bang... literally! Seeing a main character get his butt kicked early and often (thrown through a plate glass window, hit by a car, punched and kicked by Dojin, etc. etc.), I'm surprised Ji Changwook didn't file for workers' compensation by the time filming was completed! 
But that made the "Smackdown in the Surf" (or the "Beatdown on the Beach") in Episode 158 ever so much more satisfying! I felt like the ending was a little bit rushed, compared to how long the Anna-James meeting and the parents' reunification was dragged on and on and on... Anyway, it was a great series once the characters' profiles were established, KDR was all in place, and it's turned me into a JCW fan for life! (Really looking forward to how he's going to fare in the SBS "Warrior Baekdongsoo" sageuk drama which premieres on 4 July.)
BTW, the episode of "Win-Win" is somewhere out there on the Internet Tubes (with English subs) of the interview of Do Jiwon (Anna), where Saewa, Donghae and Taehun join in the chat. Quite interesting, and you get to hear a taste of Changwook-ssi singing!
Thanks to all who contributed to this thread. Many times your comments were way more amusing and insightful than the drama itself!!

Re: K-Drama: 웃어라 동해야 (Smile Again / Smile Donghae)
Well, here's something funny I just noticed... I was cleaning off my DVR this morning to get rid of some of the older dramas to make room for the new ones. I rewatched Episode 158 for giggles and grins (mostly because I wanted to get some screen caps from DH and Dopejin fighting in the water), and in the scene where Taehun is packing up and leaving for the temple to study for the bar exam, he accidentally calls Saeyoung "Saewa" TWICE!! I rewound the capture a couple times to make sure I wasn't hearing things.
After the second time he calls SY by the wrong name, both Saewa and S-Mom look at each other and snicker -- so obviously TH screwed up there. Surprising that the PD didn't call for another take on such a blatant oopsie!!
Yes, I know... I really need to get a life.

I have noticed Tae Hun saying the incorrect name on several occasions but the subtitlers showed the intended name.

Well Alex is a jazz musician and they take off on their own riff so often. I guess he was just improvising to amuse himself and liven things up...
Love Alex.

I would have loved to see some of the outakes of flubs. In the past,some dramas would run them after the last episode.
