it's not the end of the world if people dont like her acting. also it's part of the show. and just because someone…
i think they have great chemistry! although i do not find it romantic i don't think her acting affects their chemistry. that is one mark of someone who at least does know how to do their craft a bit well (in my opinion.)
i think sometimes the artificiality works but personally like for ep 6 when she was in the car in the beginning and then the ending it's just not how i prefer it.
also i meant romantically as in: i just dont believe in their love but that's from a story perspective. so many people really like their relationship and its significance like married life issues, trust, heavy topics, abuse, etc...
and my thoughts are very different but it doesn't upset me...i just see things differently and find it cool to discuss it. just like people thinking her acting is good—there's no value judgement.
there's a reason people like to watch her obviously. i may not understand or agree but i don't discount the very real responses people have. however, critique isn't always going to be "nice" and that's ok. it's certainly not a terrible show and she isn't bad enough for it to be unwatchable. i think people identify so heavily with the things they like that anything even remotely different is seen as a slight and it makes it frustrating to engage. there's a hivemind on things honestly!
no one has to prove anything to us wrt her acting or a critique unless they want to actually discuss it instead of trying to rule over our responses to a work. i hope this makes sense...
i feel the same way about nam ki ae btw like she is not really someone i enjoy watching or hearing but i have seen her in countless amount of dramas i like!
i appreciate your reply because i definitely agree with you in they want to portray the fakeness. i have more to say but i'll stop here, but i get you!
26??????? omfg when he wa sblowing out the candles i thought it said '30' and i got rly concerned for myself.…
no! i'm surprised his other roles have been so differnt. i havent watched any other thing he's in. he's really good. i will check out some interviews bc i love when actors have a totally diff personality heh
finished ep 6—sped thru the eps but wanted to make sure i got it all. also i am curious still about it. not in love but it certainly is engaging.
i for one think she should go as crazy as she wants and be as suspicious as she wants and i dont think she owes him anything. she deserves to be happy. i finished ep 6 and im actually proud of her partly. but it's just sad to me that there's this totally twisted view of love and life and a role a person can take on. and also the cops suck. speaking of acting nam ki ae is one of my least favorite actresses bc i do not mesh with her acting style AT ALL (and gee it's fine.)
anyway im proud of ji won for making a decision but now im ready for some revenge and fights and also kicking him out. i would love to see his misery. and to find out who did it. but really some emotional consequences must be made IDC IDC and i also get that she only believes what she sees but that isnt actually a plus when ur a detective. i think that's part of the issue presented with her. anyways expose ha (ur husband)
edit: actually u know what would be cool they turn in2 a fugitive family on the run >:)
I understand your frustration, but criticisms are good for improvement, still one should do it respectfully. But…
she has a style that some people don't mesh with. i wouldn't call her amazing. like you don't have to be an expert to see that. i act and do film, so does that make me an expert? it makes no sense. you're right about people on here having low standards here but saying that there is no truth to it isn't factual bc that's an opinion. there's examples of her type of acting working (to me) but here it doesn't. IE she has very mechanical responses and i can tell she is thinking about her moves, and playing a certain character, instead of a smoother transition into herself as ji won. that's fine, i don't think it fits for this detective but i can explain to you the issues.
i do not like her coordination, her movement, her expressions and i can go on but it's fine. a lot of people like it. there's actresses i even support and like that have had performances in shows i love that i cannot stand for certain things. it's ok to criticize esp when there's things that resound with our emotional response to acting. the response to this is not simply people "not knowing" or "not speaking the language" ESP bc it's an art form that literally plays on our emotions immediately as it is supposed to. language is a huge part of it but being able to convey via your language and body etc it transcends literal meanings that's the reason why people act. this can all be within the context of the ways in which korean media also likes to present itself (way more dramatic) it's not rocket science
Good luck! I'd say he's faaaar from a disappointment.
you're right about the men usually better written. subbed on viki! i didn't realize how intriguing i found him until he was with the reporter and i was like wow i don't want to stop even though there are aspects that don't mesh with me.
it depends on the character and context. i think his character here is fascinating but i, personally, think that means that this can't end well and it shouldn't. he's interesting but he's a liar and untrustworthy. we watch him cos it's hard to figure it out. but i will never want the best for him if that makes sense (?)
there's also a diff between liking the way a character is written and then liking their character. so for example in sky castle i loved the way the women were written and watching them but i didn't like them (because ...omg)
anyway it's all context. i can take anyone as long as they grow during a storyline (for better or worse) and are people that are capable of standing on their own. it's much harder for people to write female characters who are complex in any way. like ji won's weakness for sure is love but that doesn't mean she isn't good at her job. i hope this makes sense. i just look for good writing lmao and sometimes the acting makes or breaks it
sorry that's vague it was very hard to answer. i think it's so based on like the person you are. i was gonna say "anyone who is interesting" and/or "anyone i want to watch" but that's so subjective hahahah
He lied to her for all these years faked emotions and hided his real identity and illness. All the evidences and…
it's actually weird how she's being praised for being calm and objective lmao like...what? she's a human being and this dude is fucking with her. i guss shes just supposed to sit there and take care of their child
She is not watch episode 6 in the end of that episode she said that she doesn't beilve in rumors and everything…
SHE SHOULD THINK HE'S GUILTY oh my god like it's so dangerous to even stay in this situation and she IS what do people want from her????? complete lack of respect for women tbh
I wanted this to happen in Psychopath Diary. Not to be a murderer, but to go a little bit more to the dark side.…
i think this is what's frustrating me. the logic doesn't line up with me like. the extreme affects on the family and how dangerous it is to even entertain it. i dont think an inherent trust in a partner is particularly great when presented w/ things like this
Good luck! I'd say he's faaaar from a disappointment.
i couldn't keep up with it bc i dont rly get it but he's a good actor. i care about female characters more so i dont think i can keep watching it just for him tho. but i am curious as to what happens
