ah shit i read something really really wrong and thought they announced it when they were just in talks. i feel so bad for commenting to everyone about it lol lemme amend that.
i agree with you full stop. i'm not a huge fan of Life but the writer has made her mark. i like what you said…
true re: life which was a good thing. for me i think there were a lot of cons with the casting as well (ok just one but it was a big one.) and i think she (lee so yeon) does well with serial formats now that we have gotten to know her in three works.
that's true i was just thinking about how BrBa went from something so personal to an overarching story. but that show (like the sopranos; the wire is a case in its own) did have to prove itself. (i never watched sopranos though i should since i'm a new jersey gal) because of budget and the channels they were on.
i think netflix took this on as its first joint project, correct? and it was the first preproduced drama for tvn and for netflix. i think that made all the difference and is what made me trust in them being pre-produced (also i think that's what made the cast and crew LIKE working.)
regardless, lee so yeon proves herself time and time again even with parts that i don't think necessarily succeed (life) but make you really question the quality of the crew and cast in a very very good way.
and same for me. it builds itself up to its own importance. there's just really amazing skill put into the show. this is one of those things where it's like,,,,you feel respected as an audience member and that matters
omg this was a really good drama. why is the mdl rating so bad? i would definitely recommend you give this a go.…
i think because it's a much more...metaphorical show that really leans into its strangeness. if people are into that wacky stuff they'd like this. i love it so much. there's going to be a s2
i'm a go ara fan (i don't know why but i love her lmao) i generally dont love romcoms anymore but this seems SORTA interesting idk lmao
but i guess reading the comments it may be a wash. i might check it out though....altho the premise seems like it relies on the male characters a lot. she's so fun tho
10/10 (ok no i never give shows that but it's a high mark)
i can't wait for season 3 i cry when i think about the show WE GOT A GIFT thank you LORD!!!!!
if there is no s3 i think that would do a huge disservice to this show so i hope there is. i think this season, especially if there's a context of further seasons, will be one of the best. hoping all the intuition of the fans is right and we get a third season because it's clear they can do it, they have the material and drive, and the cast and crew love being a part of this endeavor.
Finally watched it, wanted to do it in one-go, so waited until it concluded and got uploaded on Netflix, and yep,…
i agree with you full stop. i'm not a huge fan of Life but the writer has made her mark. i like what you said about "prestigious" american television because i feel like this show is truly one of the best series of tv period. i was thinking of the series format like breaking bad; s1 was a blueprint and the seasons that came after were so different but we can't say the show wasn't brilliant.
and it makes us want to keep watching but it's still very distinct and korean (ofc!) like i feel like the world is given a gift. after all for the shows you mentioned we follow characters who are so nuts but like....i would have never thought i would feel the way i do about lee chang jun when i watched the first episode of stranger. EVERYTHING MEANS SOMETHING and we reap the benefits! thank you for sharing
oh and i think that as people watch the show more they will see it with cho seung woo. i am glad his partner, his friend, his opposite, hyj got to show herself and bae doo na through her but their emotional arcs are so different that i think with more inspection it will hep others realize just how much si mok /has/ changed through csw. that's why csw and bae doo na kill it
