I just watched 2 episodes. Yeah give this a try. It's interesting from the start. I liked some smart comedy lines (after the car accident). The characters are a bit too obvious. I think we get very soon what they want and how their values will interact. Or maybe it's just me because I notice that without really wanting to think about it, but I can feel the strings of the story.
Hahaha. For a Nation and culture obsessed with beauty and with technologies to remove it, they don't. But in nations…
I have the impression that it is a criterion of beauty. Lee Jong Suk for example, he has a mole very close to the eye. And that makes him even more attractive.
Argh!!! So I'm first to respond to the first!! :-D
Mmmmh, hard to say. When I saw the first episode, I was "wooow!!". Then after many more episodes, it was a bit too western feel. Difficulties to find emotions. Although the directing is amazing, I couldn't get a real epic feeling like with "Flower of evil" or even more "Mouse". So Taxi driver is for me a good drama, a bit procedural on some parts, with some "over-the-top" things but hopefully not as much as "Devil Judge". It's now more an average drama in my memory. But nothing so bad. It's watchable. I enjoyed the ride.

Ahah there is no reason. I know it's a weird name. I chose that because I wrote a season 2 in korean screenplay format. So anyone interested can look my profile and read it on my blog. ;-)
Queen Hwang Jung Eum acting in one of Kim Soon Ok Makjang stories is gone explode everything she didn't do this…
I need to watch Secret! This actress was so annoying in Kill Me Heal Me and so many other dramas. Barelly ok in Giant, but.... crazy good in Incarnation of Money!! I don't think she's a bad actress, just a style I don't like when she's over-the-top but I don't feel it in the drama. Since IoM, I'm always ready to give her a chance to surprise me in a good way.
High quality article, I salute your dedication. Half of it was useless to write, if the screenwriter had done…
That's right. But since the screenwriter writes a screenplay and not a novel, it's her responsibility to make sure that things happen on the screen. It's a technical document studied for that in the production chain. Finally, the director (who normally has a good understanding of the story) can fix things within certain limits. But having no knowledge of directing, and relying only on my intuition and experience as a viewer, the director seems to have done a good job here.
I don't know if this was planned for multiple seasons. I have to assume not. Reducing the story to 10 episodes is indeed a harsh constraint. The pace of the first 5 episodes would have been satisfying in a 16 episode drama. And the following episodes would allow enough time to reveal everything properly, assuming that the writer does the right thing.
I much preferred Sisyphus which also had the constraint of going from 20 to 16 episodes. The principle was clearer and more focused, more inventive even. But in retrospect, I can say that this drama had serious confusion problems as well. Besides, many viewers turned away from it because of that. However, there were some intense scenes as far as emotion is concerned. And the start hooked fast.
I am disappointed with the result of the writer, but I know that she has done a lot of work for this. The problem is that a story often decides itself, and that we find ourselves in certain dead ends, difficult or impossible to correct. We can just notice afterwards that it is done and hope to do better next time. But if we direct the story too much, it is the opposite problem, it becomes cold, flat and mechanical. That's a bit the impression I have here. Hence this impression of doing complicated, just to do complicated. I would be curious to know her creative process, and how she built all this, but unfortunately it's the kind of information that is very hard to find because the writers never talk about it at length.
Wow! wow! I'm here for that! I usually don't like Hwang Jung Eum because she often overact, but it could be great in a Kim Soon Ok drama. With director Joo Dong Min, it's the dream team.

Your comment sounds weird to me, it's not like Hot Stove League!

Maybe he will be the good guy here?
