It is 31 Dec. 2023 and I have only started watching this interesting Korean drama - Life on Mars. It sounded familiar and then I realised it is based on the UK/British TV series of the same name. I decided to watch it and managed to binge up to Episode 6 in 6 hours. What a wonderful awesome TV drama; good acting, dialogue, directing and wonderful casts of actors. It is amazing that this drama was made in 2018, and it is good TV action-crime-mystery tv series. I wish some of the latest K-drama series will be as good as they used to be. LOL....
Holy cow is that really the same ML actor? He is versatile, Loved his character there.
Yes, he is really versatile. In Song of Youth, he was a chatty, naive, innocent young master who fell in love with a mature woman. In Journey to Love, he's a stoic, dead pan warrior with comedic moments. Plus, he gained weight and he looked really good
I can't believe that Wang Yi Zhe is the same guy who played the main ML in Song of Youth. what happened? He buffed up for this Drama Journey to Love? He's absolutely amazing here.
It feels like train to Busan was just a lucky hit, all other recent work by this writer has sucked or been extremely…
Perhaps Train to Busan's success was due to the whole team effort that includes the actors, directors, cinematographer, and whole production crew. We should not just depend on the director and writer. Sometimes, the producer or production company plays a part in the overall success of a film. This is just my 5-cents of opinion....hehehe...
Great review. You write really well and I couldn't have said it better myself. I wish I can write well like you, but I will say what I can say in my own humble way. I am really glad that both you and I really love this show, and I hope there will be more of this great quality story-telling drama in the future
After reading all the comments below about the ending, I am still going to finish this drama because it is a drama about an epic journey after all (to love? to save the emperor? whatever?). I love the warm family-like relationships between the squad and the princess and the blooming affections between the main ML & FL. All of them have endeared themselves to my heart and it's only fitting that I watch their whole story until the end. Never before have I loved a historical C-drama like this before; and I have watched so many C-dramas in my 20 years of life. This shows how much historical C-dramas have improved. A Journey to Love (AJTL) has great story-telling, directing, cinematography, funny moments, fight scenes, bromances and passionate acting of all the casts; I am sure the whole film crew also put in their hard work too. It's definitely is one of the best C-dramas of 2023.
