It's more fun to find out..Jung Hae-in ♥ Jung So-min's secret of the sub-title



'Mom, friend, son', it's more fun to find out.

tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 『Mother's Friend Son" (played by Shin Ha-eun, directed by Yoo Je-won) is gaining popularity by demonstrating the true value of healing loco. The ratings for the past four episodes continued to top the list at the same time, breaking its own record of 7.2% for households in the metropolitan area and 6.6% for households nationwide (based on Nielsen Korea's paid platform). Jung Hae-in (1st place) and Jung So-min (2nd place) were named side by side again in the TV-OTT drama topical category and in the cast topical category. (Good Data Corporation, as of the fourth week of August)

Choi Seung-hyo (Jeong Hae-in) and Bae Seok-ryu (Jeong So-min) completely captured the hearts of fans at home and abroad through the story of the very realistic and everyday story of the Hyeneung-dong family. It entered fifth place in the Netflix Global TOP10 series (non-English) category two days after its release, and ranked second with 3 million viewers and 14.8 million viewers in the second week. In particular, it proved its popularity by ranking top 10 in a total of 36 countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. (Netflix, August 19-August 25)




Meanwhile, the subheadings appearing in the opening and ending scenes of each episode are drawing attention. Above all, two sub-headings in one episode form a decalcomani, and the last scene where the opening sub-heading is converted to the ending sub-heading drew an explosive response from viewers. Immediately after the broadcast, a subtitle poster for each episode was also released to reflect on it again, adding to the deep afterglow. In response, the first half of the narratives of Choi Seung-hyo and Bae Seok-ryu, who faced the old sincerity that had been buried in the past, were examined through the subtitle in the two-way black history record book 'Children's Men and Women'.

▶ 'Comeback' and 'Comeback, Home': Bae Seok-ryu who is back home with his family and childhood friends

In the first episode, the opening subheading of Bae Seok-ryu, who was on a plane to Korea, opened the story. In his self-talk of "I arrived," he was full of worries and anxiety about meeting with his family, not happiness and joy of returning to Korea. Even the reaction of hiding as soon as he saw his family was even more unusual. In the end, however, he revealed that he had returned from the U.S. after breaking up his marriage and quitting his job, and Choi Seung-hyo, who took Bae Seok-ryu home after escaping Na Mi-sook (Park Ji-young), laughed and wrote the ending subtitle 'Comeback, Home' on his way back. Bae Seok-ryu and Choi Seung-hyo, who returned to Hyereung-dong by the house and his family's side and again, met with a crazy reunion, marking the beginning of a romance around the neighborhood.

▶ 'Past completion' and 'Present completion, progressive': Choi Seung Hyo's old heart, which was not the end

The time capsule was unsealed and the past was summoned. Choi Seung-hyo, who secretly read and made fun of Bae Seok-ryu's letters, was attacked by memories of letters he received from him in the past. Faced with feelings of those days toward Bae Seok-ryu, who had been forgotten. Choi Seung-hyo decided to turn a blind eye, deny it, and dismiss it all as a past event. In the meantime, Atelier got an opportunity to become Graff's partner architect, and Bae Seok-ryu agreed to the request for help from Yoon Myung-woo (Jeon Seok-ho) for Choi Seung-hyo. Everything almost went completely wrong as I got back into it with my former co-worker Chris (Hayden Won), but fortunately, the crisis came as an opportunity. As soon as Bae Seok-ryu hugged Choi Seung-hyo, Choi Seung-hyo's old thoughts about Bae Seok-ryu, which may have begun, unfolded. At the same time, like the subtitle that changed from 'past completion' to 'present completion, progressive', it predicted Choi Seung-hyo's change and made me wonder about the next story.

Shin Ha-eun explained that the writer tried to express 'starting point' and 'ending point' in each episode as a subtitle, and that 'we took a method of showing a subtitle that encompasses the situation or emotions of the character first in the introduction, and once again showing the changed point as the story progressed with a modified subtitle at the end.' I also thought that it would be good to increase the level of immersion through these two sub-titles, and at the same time, a small expectation of how this will change will serve as an additional fun to watch dramas," he added.




On the other hand, the 5th sub-title 'Go back', which will be broadcast on the 31st, has been released, adding to the curiosity. "The sub-titles to be released in the future are the hidden secrets of pomegranate, Seung-hyo and pomegranate's feelings for each other, and above all, it would be good to watch the relationship between the two."

The fifth episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday Drama 'Mother, Friend, Son' will air at 9:20 p.m. on the 31st.
