#eui sung

[fanpholily]

okay i'm watching the korean version of leverage. here are my thoughts

the music is very similar, but it's mostly piano-esque and has vocals

korean eliot is being portrayed as outright hot, whereas american eliot is more implied hot. they're both hot but portrayed differently.

THEY HAVE GUNS omg

oh nvm that's not a gun lmfaoo. the zipline thingy that korean parker used looked like a gun

i love how the korean version also uses "guards are people and easily distracted/preoccupied with sports/pretty girls/etc" as a plot device

korean parker gets angry quickly

korean hardison is also chatty about his creations/geeky stuff

she has glasses that detect lasers omg

she's also a gymnast

omg korean parker is a ninja

so far it's just korean parker and hardison working together, there's no sign of the other members. though another member was mentioned. korean hardison said "so and so will be waiting for you at the lobby" (i didn't catch their name rip)

oop she's surrounded

korean parker's name is na byeol, and korean hardison's name is jung eui sung

he left her lmfaooo but that's not something that american hardison would ever do to parker

i think korean sterling just arrived. his name is lee tae joon, and iys is samwha life

actually, this might be nate. it's not clear yet. it feels like nate. it's an insurance agent though, so it really could be either nate or sterling, but he's too nice to the museum owner and not cryptic enough to be sterling. he is aloof enough to be nate though

omg this insurance investigator kinda reminds me of reid from criminal minds

HE FOUND A SECRET EXIT

tae joon has a friend with him. he's a bit goofy so idk who it is from american leverage. but they found the "stolen" painting. the museum owner hired someone to steal it

okay the scene changed and now we're at a children's hospital and there's a magician.

OMG okay tae joon is nate! he arrived at the children's hospital to visit his sick son and his wife. this is a backstory for the leverage crew omg

seon kyu is tae joon's son and it looks like he's receiving chemotherapy.

oh no he's having an asthma attack or something :( he has leukemia and the transplant did not work. he has three months to live :( the doctor says there's a medicine that works well but it won't be available for public use for 2-3 years :((

tae joon went to seek out the doctor/hospital that created the medicine (i think). now he's at a chinese restaurant. they have the same name (dongyang hospital, dongyang chinese restaurant).

there's a doctor in the back of the restaurant. maybe it's alternative medicine

it's acupuncture

oh no it's legit

omg tae joon is sneaking around. his investigator side is really coming out

there's a kid there receiving treatment and tae joon is gonna talk to him. he has the same thing that seon kyu has! tae joon was about to steal the medicine but the doctor caught him and threatened him. he's chastising tae joon for worrying about money even when his kid is dying. now he's begging. now they're talking !

tae joon is also an alcoholic

the doctor is asking if tae joon is willing to steal to save his son and tae joon says no. he's saying korean stole his research. he wants his research back and he wants tae joon to steal it. he's offering the medicine for it.

he's drinking!!! oh no

seon kyu is receiving the experimental medicine. it seems to be working ! but he needs the medicine to be administered regularly.

awww seon kyu wants to come up with a secret sign to let his dad know when he's in pain so that his mom doesn't find out :(

tae joon is resigning omg

now we're celebrating an 80 year old woman's bday. it's hardison's nana omg ms. jung mal ji

he can sing??

omg na byeol came back for revenge. she's gonna beat him up

SHES JUMPING OUT THE WINDOW TO CHASE HIM

tae joon arrived to rescue him?? he said "i can't go until you've fastened your seatbelt" while na byeol was actively chasing him 💀💀

na byeol stole a motorcycle and she's chasing them on the highway

tae joon is saying he'll pay parker if she just gets in. apparently eui sung did not pay her. he's offering them double what they were supposed to be paid for the museum job

they're having a similar "nate is joining the dark side" conversation.

oop he's offering to take the fall if it all goes wrong.

they have the tv with the plans displayed on it too. this reminds me of the second crew set up in the two live crew job. they also have the curtains background.

an ex us marine corp is head of the security team of the hospital they're trying to steal from, and they need to get the job done before he returns

omg the same face close-ups are used for tae joon like they are for nate.

i noticed they don't have a discussion about the ear piece.

omg eui sung's card thingy didn't work because he needed facial recognition as well.

na byeol is always threatening eui sung with death lmfaooo

i wonder when eliot and sophie will come in. my guess is that the marine corp guy is eliot but i'm not sure.

na byeol has to use light switches to open the secured doors, but she didn't know which ones they needed open, so she had to switch all of them. it was pretty funny

okay now we're seeing who i'm assuming is the marine corp guy and eliot. he's in the boxing ring. he's also shirtless, which i suspect will be a running theme. he's getting a phone call.

OMG he got a call that there's theives at the biomedical lab omggg double cross.

they're trying to leave the facility

eui sung almost didn't make it through one of the doors. he tried to slide but his clothes got caught 💀

oh wait they're trying to get to the server room

the police have arrived, they have less than 4 minutes and they just barely arrived at the server room. security are also there though. eui sung is in there and trying to evade the security guys who are being very thorough

tae joon told na byeol to take the screws she unscrewed from the vent and toss them down.

na byeol is beating the guards up and using her taser just like parker! eui sung is very impressed. they completed the job, now they have to leave.

the chinese doctor has received the data, but he's calling tae joon to tell him the data did not arrive and that he will pay for it. now he's turning on eui sung, but they've also just discovered that the zip line wire was cut, so i think they figured out that someone sabotaged them.

i think tae joon just ran out onto the street and got hit by a car. i think he's trying to meet the chinese doctor. he's wondering what happened.

oh wait he ran across the street to unlock getaway cars for them. he's driving away and entering the parking garage of the biomedical lab. eliot is chasing him.

omg this scene is so intense.

eliot is locking down the elevator where na byeol and eui sung are in omg

WAIT THE ELEVATOR EXPLODED WHAT THE FUCK

tae joon thinks na byeol and eui sung are dead, but we know better. tae joon is getting arrested

the end credits say "based on the electric entertainment series leverage created by john rogers and chris downey" so it is very much so inspired by american leverage.

i wonder how they'll get korean eliot on board with their crew. as far as korean eliot is concerned, these group of thieves broke in and stole from his place of work. he had nothing to do with the original heist. i also wonder when korean sophie will arrive.

anyway, it was pretty good! highly recommend!

okay fine. headcanon post about how each character in og leverage and leverage: ca would interact with their counterparts

na byeol and parker would be awkward around each other, but, come on, they're awkward around everybody. i don't think they'd work well together tbh. each of them learned their skills out of a survival mechanism and they only teach their skills to those they trust because those skills are what helped them survive. they would gatekeep their skills until they were comfortable with each other. since parker is older than na byeol, she'd look at na byeol as a little sister and start fixing her ropes without saying anything. but they both know they're looking after one another. they understand where they're coming from and no one else gets it.

tae joon and nate....oh boy. nate would hate tae joon. tae joon is, in nate's opinion, a better version of him. and at the very least, nate would feel threatened by him. like, what do you mean there's another dude with a similar team to his and they're also taking down bad guys? wtf man. this is his area of expertise. and then he'd see just how put together tae joon seems and he'd be jealous. "why can't i be that put together? what's wrong with me?" nate has issues. tae joon would be very worried for and about nate. he'd sympathize with him--i mean, he also lost his son--but he'd also see right away that nate is... not the most stable. again, neither is he if they're talking about his son, but....are y'all sure this man can run a team by himself? cuz it's looking a little doubtful ngl.

eliot and roy.... eliot, as previously established in my past posts about this, would LOVE roy. this man is always working out. he'll get up in the middle of a briefing and just start doing push-ups. that's the kind of discipline eliot admires. and he's lowkey blushing at the fact that roy named his dog after him. like...is this a proposal? because eliot is saying yes. and then roy would just never give him anything. is he mad? is he enjoying the attention? we don't know. his face is always so blank. deep inside, i think he is. he named his dog after eliot (at least in redemption universe) so he must admire eliot in some way. but he can never let anyone know that. i think after a few days, they'd start mirroring each other or copying each other. if roy gets up to do push-ups, eliot is joining him. if eliot is running after bad guys, roy is pushing na byeol away and joining the fight with him. the rest of their teams don't know if they're jealous of each other or admire each other, but so far, they haven't killed one another, so....yay?

eui sung and hardison would be weird. like, they work well together sometimes. but they both have their own way of doing things, and sometimes they're taking each other's keyboards away. it happens. nate and tae joon have to break up the fights, which only causes more tension between the two bosses. but then eui sung would tell hardison about how no one appreciates his work, and...there goes another hacker who's going on strike. first hardison, then breanna, now eui sung? maybe we should appreciate hackers a little more. food for thought.

su kyung and sophie....my god. they'd get along like a house on fire. half the reason both teams are still working together is because both grifters won't stop complimenting each other. and when nate tells sophie "we gotta go, i don't like this tae joon guy", she'd say "well you can go, but i'm staying." and nate would have no choice but to stay. same thing if tae joon ever told su kyung "hey i don't trust this nate guy", she'd say "well sophie trusts him, so i trust him too", and tae joon trusts su kyung's judgment so...FINE they can stay I GUESS. after the job ends, they're getting drinks and talking all about their favorite jobs, and how much they stole. then they'd go shopping and share tips with each other. they bounce off of each other so smoothly, it's like they've been working together forever.

anyway, those are my headcanons.
