The drama comes across as quite illogical and predictable. I understand its a fantasy legal drama but even within…
I agree with everything except the trainee part. I think it made sense that she blurted everything out. She did "tase" him, reveal herself as mastermind while he was "unconscious" by ordering the producer around & just saw a "detective" arrest her accomplice. I think that's more than enough to make her realize she's hit a dead end & blurt everything out.
Now as for the denying everything in court I don't think that works too. Again she did "tase" him & I don't know the laws in South Korea, but I think a lawyer claiming you attempted to harm him holds some relevance in court. Then there's the major evidence that her prints are on the phone when she took it off of SuA. Not to mention the producer's own words if he is brought in as witness will work against her. And there are other things like her having motive, her prints on the taser, her lacking alibi, her instigating the other idols into kicking SuA out showing antagonistic behavior towards her & who knows maybe they would've pulled the classic cliche of CCTV that happened to have caught everything. All that being said, yeah we probably should've at least seen her getting sentenced or something. Even just a snippet.
The more I think about this series the more I realize/understand why JunSeo & SiAn got so much screen time & that's probably bcuz the other contestants were incredibly boring and/or put no effort to getting to know each other. I feel like no one genuinely tried other than the guys who were interested in SiAn. Well, maybe that one dude who was interested in "Sana"(forgot her name), but he was a bore too. LOL! So yeah, I feel JunSeo & SiAn got unnecessary hate.
Y'know it'd be easier if Woo Ju just wised up & said "so let me get this straight, what you really need is $$$ & a place to live right? Well, I'll just use my connections to get you a place & pay you handsomely in addition to the $$$ from this deal. Okay? Okay~" & the show would be over. LOL! But sure, let the ridiculousness commence. Not sure if I will stick around though.
PS I swear. For every 1 drama that doesn't have "fated meeting" there are 10 that are "fated." This trope needs to be toned down already.
This drama had so much promise and then just took a dive with ep 19.... My venting below with spoilers:
I unfortunately agree. For me it’s the change in tone though. It went from melodrama to 100% Romcom & doesn’t even feel like the same show anymore. The moment they dressed up as Barbie & Ken I was given a huge whiplash. It got silly out of nowhere & it just kept on getting sillier & sillier. Writing 101, don’t all of a sudden change your story’s genre.
I only really watched the first 2 eps. The rest were word of mouth, so a bit of light spoilers. So if you don't want to read then ignore me.
Anyways, this is mainly a supernatural action series, but the action scenes are honestly lacking. Some of the actors need more training. Then there are around 14 characters with 5 of them being more important than the rest, but it's only 8 ep. So the writing has to be quick & to the point to develop all of them. Long story short, it didn't. Even the 5 most important didn't get developed apparently. Lots of meandering in the first 4 ep I heard & eating/PPL. Then I also heard Seo In Guk & Park Hyung Sik are wasted. Barely any screen time. I think that's the major stuff that made it a bad drama. If you still want to try it, best of luck.
Since our ML is a single father, what if the mother is the chairman daughter who was killed? I think this make…
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe Chairman's daughter died 15 years ago. But the child is still in kindergarten so unless I'm wrong I don't think so. That would've been a good one though. Edit: Just double checked & yeah 15 years ago. Sorry, but nevertheless would've been a good one.
The whole clause nullifies the contract anyway as it's illegal. She can't enforce the contract in a court of law…
The attorney did stress that she needed to fulfill 3 conditions in order to get the inheritance. And I’m not too law savvy so I don’t know the specifics on conditions in a will so I won’t focus too much on it, but as you said by all means she should inherit regardless.
The whole clause nullifies the contract anyway as it's illegal. She can't enforce the contract in a court of law…
Yeah, I’m just saying even if we were to buy that euthanasia was somehow legal in court then she still wouldn’t get the $$$. Like who wrote those scene?
PS This reminds me of Knives Out & the Slayer Law, where the inheritor loses all inheritance right if they are somehow, someway involved in the death of the deceased.
Yeah, the euthanasia clause was really stupid & seems to exist just so it can be used against her later on. Also, based on that clause wouldn’t it mean she can’t inherit the fortune? As she wouldn’t be able to complete that final part. Ugh, plot hole already.
With that being said though, I actually really like it so far. There’s enough intensity to burn the scene & the episode flies by so fast. Been a while since I watched something like this. Jeon Yeon Been as Bu Semi felt like a whole new person compared to Yeong Ran. And thought it was short the super little interaction between her & Jin Young is already pretty fun. I hope it keeps it up & eventually gains traction.
So far it's pretty interesting, but I agree that the bandit took too much screen time. All of this could've been 2 ep. I'm already seeing a murky drama in the making. I hope I'm wrong. Rowoon & Ye Eun are doing pretty good so far.
It was okay & yes you definitely need to watch Kill Bok Soon first to not feel confused about this spin-off. There are a lot of call backs to the original film & it's consequences is what kick starts this spin-off.
As for the film, I feel like the film lacks tension for the most part so it just sort of meanders for most of the film. It's only when we reach the 3rd act that their is any actual tension. There are some conflicts that the characters face, but never anything that grips you. The best I can put it, the movie started, but was so focused on character building that the story barely makes progress until halfway through. So you really have to put up with it. Again, okay film.
Yeah, I went in this blind, but the humor is quite LOL. I do have to say that this is definitely more geared towards men than women. The actresses are adult actresses & they do act lewd in various scenes. Even showing off a little more than you’d think. Then the premise of actually kissing them can definitely be a bit much if you’re not sold on it.
It really showcases the comedian’s ad lib skills. Gekidan Hitori was clearly the best of them & some of the things he said was cheesy, but also romantic. It worked. I’ve gotta give props to the actresses. They were able to ad lib off of the comedians & even make for a somewhat believable act. Not the best of course, after all they aren’t mainstream, but not bad for what they are.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of “filler” which is ironically the story part of the show. As one of the hosts said “this is a bit too much for an ad lib comedy show.”
In short, it’s a mixed of weird adult humor that you just go with it or you don’t.
Honestly, the only couple I buy working is DongHa & Soojin. They had a lot of similarities & their conversation could clearly keep going. Geonwu seems like a really chill dude so I think he might have a chance with Dahye. But JeongEun & JiEun are clearly for the show. JiEun probably chose him to not look bad or something along that line. Not buying it. Overall the show is only fun for the actor's reactions & not really for anything else.
Dear passers-by (not Chengyi fans),I've seen a lot of comments saying it's boring. Is it really? I was so hyped…
Preface: I’m not a hardcore fan of anyone. I like all actors & actresses equally & consider myself pretty objective.
So I feel boring is not the right word to use. Rather I would say it feels very inauthentic. Everything from the story, set design, clothing, characters & even acting feel like there’s no passion behind it. It feels too much like an assembly line product & quickly presented to us the audience. I objectively find Chengyi’s acting very stiff & none of his original charisma. Also, the story so far is pretty basic for a transmigration series so I don’t think you’ll miss anything if you skip it. Hope that helps.
i know some will disagree with me but its just my opinion:6 episodes in, it's fun but i cannot say i'm hooked.…
Nah, there's definitely a lot of things that are off. Set design, comedy, plot, presentation. However, as objectively as I can what I find off is Chengyi's acting itself. I don't know what it is, but it feels like he's giving a soulless performance. He was great in Lotus Case Book, but his acting is just so weirdly off here. Might just be me, but I don't think I can watch it anymore. Good luck to you.
They're defending him because its personal, LOL. They're their friends so they are a bit biased. And its okay.…
That may be true for Gwanhee, but not for the rest of the panel. Like the others are trying to make him sound reasonable when he really isn’t. He’s all emotional right now & it’s not something to defend. Rather the opposite.
Funny enough I actually like Dong Ha. He seems to know if he’s compatible with a girl immediately after a date. He’s not like other people who bounce back & forth between people.
PS I personally think the premise was too simple so everyone started dropping it. There wasn’t enough dramatic moments.
Congrats Dongha & Sujin. I understand why Yongji feels so proud of her friend. Dongha is the most open minded of the 4 guys. He puts his all into whoever he’s dating & he’s clear. The other guys are lacking in ways. But yeah the panelists are defending Jeong Geun too much. When they are defending someone too much then that’s when you know that person kind of sucks. Reminds me of Gwanhee.
Now as for the denying everything in court I don't think that works too. Again she did "tase" him & I don't know the laws in South Korea, but I think a lawyer claiming you attempted to harm him holds some relevance in court.
