I'd be suspicious of On Ha Joon for now. He's overstepping the boundaries for a newbie. Granting that he's curious about what lies ahead of that secret door, but I won't be that bold for a newbie. I just hope he has no bad secret agenda up his sleeves. Don't make me hate Shin Jae Ha in two dramas haha!
why would you, if you do it with reason not everyone must love/like any drama others like or dislike. I loved…
oh I don't mean to sound disrespectful in my comment above (sorry, if that's how it looks like to you. i tried my best to choose my words tho English is not my first language). anyway, i've been watching kdramas for almost 2 decades and have seen better premier eps. i never said i hated this drama's premiere eps, i said they're average. regarding the confusing parts, can't remember everything but one would be me wondering the current relationship between CP, Jaeyi (FL), and Seong On. it was hinted they've known each other since childhood (the river scene where the two have been given wrong direction), but what about now? do they still know each other or not? CP and Seong On talked like they know who Jaeyi is, but Jaeyi doesn't seem to remember them because she doesn't even know what her fiancé looks like. and does Seong On already has a one-sided love for Jaeyi given his huge disappointment that she "murdered" her entire family? this is having the same vibes as the forbidden marriage, but at least early on in the forbidden marriage, i already understood SML's love for FL even before their marriage. here, i just don't quite understand.
i might be hated for this, but the premiere eps are so-so for me. it might take a few more eps for me to say i'm immersed to the story (or a few more eps to decide dropping this). reason? some parts are just confusing to me even though i'm paying full attention. also, the editing of some scenes look quite awkward heh~ but i'm not giving up on this drama yet. perhaps, it'll get better. let's see. :)
okay I'm now on ep 3. i know the ML will eventually have a character development, but his arrogance irks me off currently. i hope to get past this. i'm so done with tsundere MLs tbh
She never was Jin Bu-yeon though, she was Jin Seol-ran. Both BY stans and Naksu stans were wrong 😂 Eggs on…
yes I know. but she was sort of reborn as Buyeon so I addressed her like that. but anyway, it's so funny how people are too quick to judge and spread it around. word of mouth sure is scary sometimes haha
I don't think she's a villain. I have a feeling that she will help to save naksu and jung uks love and also she…
same. since the onset, I never thought of Buyeon (or should I call her Seolran now?) as a villain/potential villain. it's such that, a lot of AoS fans spread this around like wildfire in SNS because Naksu's soul will get kicked out. *smh*
so is Master Lee implying that the soul inside Buyeon's body is Jin Seolran all along? how about those people who said Buyeon is the real villain? so is Jin Seolran the real villain then???
at this point, I no longer care how this drama will end. it didn't live up to my expectations (sorry), but still going to finish for the sake of it. part 1 was more exciting for me. i am suddenly reminded of how Hong Sis ends their fantasy dramas. they can be unsatisfying.
Is The Red Sleeve good from an Alchemist point of view?Want to start watching once this is over.
The Red Sleeve is a really good drama. add the fact that it's based on actual historical events. watching it made me interested to research about King Jeongjo and Uibin (particularly why historians concluded that Uibin was his most beloved concubine). their love story is interesting.
Perhaps Naksu’s Full Energy needs to Kick in so She can Kick That little Bi¥%h Buyeon out and stop her from…
sorry to say, that offensive word should not be used to Buyeon, no matter how much we ship Uk and Naksu. have you forgotten? that b***h Buyeon you are talking about saved Jang Uk from being soul-shifted (a helpless situation for Uk and I leaped for joy knowing she was there, and has the power to intervene like that. else Uk is doomed for sure). please choose words wisely.
To those Alchemists who aren't complaining about the pacing since season 1, I admire your patience and understanding. While me, I'm actually on the verge of running wild. Good thing Jin Buyeon is currently trapping my energy so I'm holding on haha!
They do it, because they could. Hong Sister need an strict monitor to cut some beloved dialog and funny scenes.…
i truly get your point, however, not all viewers have the same amount of patience and understanding. as mentioned, i love the story and still enjoying everything so far (side plots included). but the pacing has been quite disappointing. season 1's pacing isn't any different too. but I guess in season 1, we've got a lot of things to anticipate like when will Jang Gang return (which also turned disappointing), when will Jin Buyeon reunite with the Jin family (which never "exactly" happened since her soul is now perished just like that), when will Jin Mu get busted, will Jang Uk reach Hwansu, when will the secret of Jang Uk's birth get revealed, etc. Jin Mu getting busted and the revelation of Jang Uk's birth are yet to unfold, but right now, we're mainly invested on the return of Naksu's memories only. i don't know. anyway, no matter how disappointed i am, i'll continue watching. coz in the end, I'm just a viewer who has to enjoy whatever they serve. 🙂
just finished watching ep 5 and *sigh* the pacing of this drama is quite ridiculous. they better give us a plot twist on ep 6. there are way too much fillers that I think they can revise the whole 30 eps into just 20.
I have no issues with the casts and their acting. they are doing a great job. i love the story, but it's becoming so dragging. this is also my personal complaint on season 1. now they're doing it again. what's the use of the extra 10 episodes then? or else they're planning for a season 3...? *smh*
I think for your 1st question, it’s already answered in part 1. When Naksu wanted to do AOS to save herself…
right? i thought i was the only confused one. i get it if Naksu gains her own power. but to recover Buyeon's "divine powers" too when the soul is already dead and the body does not have it? where is the sense in that? unless maybe (1) Naksu has divine powers too, or (2) Naksu is Jin Buyeon herself. ah, this show is really making me use my brain haha!
I think for your 1st question, it’s already answered in part 1. When Naksu wanted to do AOS to save herself…
ah yes you're right. Buyeon must have trapped Naksu's soul to prevent her from doing AOS using the soul ejector (produced by ice stone). at any rate, she once tried destroying the ice stone herself so she prolly detected Naksu's gonna use it. (am I right in this?)
about the "divine powers" thing, this part confuses me the most. I rewatched the convo between Mama Jin and Master Lee and Master Lee said something along the lines, "Buyeon's body has no divine powers..." if that is it, then does it mean Naksu also has divine powers on her own to bring out? I'm puzzled as to where will those divine powers come from.
part 2 - 8/10 (chemistry is amazing! but again, the plot is slow, much slower than part 1. lots of plot holes, underdeveloped scenes and characters.)
overall I enjoyed, but maybe I was expecting too much. i'm still glad i watched this one heck of a journey.
