W two worlds Season 2 sc

Well said. As a man, my subjective opinion is that, on the whole, Korean actresses are better than actors.
It's hard to find actresses who are 100% completely lame. Even the actresses I don't like always get a chance to surprise me someday and get a good part.
But actors... Lee MinHo, the most popular guy, because he's just handsome... While he always makes the same face most of the time! Or worse, Ro Woon, totally unable to act, and girls dare to rate Acting 10!

Hwang Jung Eum is a living nightmare that can drive you crazy. A permanent alarm siren, a worker using a jackhammer under your window, a neighbour using a drill on Sundays.

One of the best scenarios I know, but one that is highly destabilizing for people used to kdramas. I understand that this kind of science fiction can be off-putting. Maybe it would have been more successful if it had been done in anime in Japan, before being made into a drama. People want to see a sentimental story, and we give them something more complicated than Death Note, without the two pages of instructions in the notebook! :-D

I don't thank you, because I'm trying very hard not to say such foolish things.
Because of you and your bad example, I also start saying unpopular comments.
If fans of the drama CLOY read this forum, I will be shot on a firing squad!
They're here, they're watching us, they've placed spy microphones everywhere.

If you want crash landing on your bed, it's perfect ! :-D

CLOY: A woman is trapped in North Korea, but it's okay, she's got lots of friends, she can kiss on a fishing boat, and turn an entire military regiment into a fashion victim. ^^

I really like "damsel in distress" characters. Even when the character is stupid. To put herself in such a risky situation, the character necessarily has a problem, either of intelligence or psychological weakness.

Unfortunately, a lot of scripts don't live up to this kind of character, and use clichés. So in this case, I agree, it's really not interesting as a character type. It even annoys me a lot!

One of my favourite "damsel in distress" characters is the female lead in the drama "Love in sadness". She was a sweet and sensitive woman who was psychologically destroyed after years of abuse. Her situation is heartbreaking. This character is weak, and tries hard to get a little more strength, but every step is difficult, and the results are inevitably modest. If no one helps her, she will die.

I see you wrote a review yourself, so I'll leave my comment.
You're a good match for your passion and enthusiasm!
Everybody is like that in front of a perfect work. I have a tendency to regain my composure before writing, but the feeling is the same.

However, you really get involved with the characters in the first degree, which I never do. I love the way a character as humanly imperfect as Ta Hwan is portrayed. In fact, at the beginning of the story, I would say "I love to hate him". The only time I lost that point of view was on the drama "Love in sadness" for the second male lead. I really hated the character, and I wanted to punch him in the face! It wouldn't surprise me if the actor was assaulted in the street.

Concerning the love story, the solution is given by the flashback at the end, which takes up the scene where they are on the beach, and where the heroine has to choose who she rides a horse with. This scene is very moving, once it's repeated at the end.
On the drama "Giant", the writers had used the same process. "Giant" is also a very good drama that looks like Empress Ki. But there are a few flaws, and Empress Ki corrects all those flaws. The writers got better between the two dramas.

You said two things about this drama in an article, but unfortunately, you didn't write about it in your review. Two really important points.
- The law of the worst. When a situation can evolve into more darkness, often no last-minute twist can save that. And besides, one wonders how the script will be able to continue after that. This is the original definition of the term "makjang", but later on, the term was diverted from its original meaning.
- The importance of the mind-game. The characters' strategies are often devious and clever. It may not be as crazy as in Death Note as you say, but it's an important point. When I wrote my own review, I had forgotten that!

Empress Ki is my 3st favorite drama of all time. And 1st one about historical ^^
I don't write many review, but I did on this one :
https://kisskh.at/profile/7647047/reviews
It's a bit short for such a drama, but it's difficult to speak about everything.

I suppose my opinions are as unpopular as yours.
;-)
Your reaction made me laugh.
I'm not a hater. It's more the accumulation, which at some point makes me sharp sometimes.
But I guess you were ready for that, with your heavy shooting.

Thanks for SFD, I really like historical drama.

Ha Ji Won often plays characters with good strength of mind, as well as strong physical abilities. But what I like about her characters is that she doesn't stay in a brutal state all the time. On the contrary, she also plays a sensitive and kind woman.

In some recent dramas, female characters who are supposed to be strong, or badass, are actually weak. They are immature girls, their use of violence is unrealistic, and rather testifies to their emotional hysteria. These characters are incapable of playing real women with strength of spirit and gentleness at the same time. They are stereotypical characters!

Such characters are correct in comedy, but unfit for the sentimental story. I cannot speak for other men, but it is clear that I could not love this kind of girl.
A character like the one in Hotel Del Luna: what man would want a life as a couple with a girl who is always in a bad mood and who spends her time rallying? She's a shrew, all she needs is a rolling pin to hit with!

The use of shallow stereotypes is above all a big flaw in the script.

King2Heart, I don't know if you liked that drama. But it put me through something that never happened to me before, or a long, long time ago.
On the last episode, I was breathless. Physically, I couldn't breathe.

If you want to see an outstanding performance by actress Ha Ji Won :
Watch Empress Ki and Hwang Jin Yi.
She's also very good in King2Heart, but it's hard to recommend because her acting is incomprehensible to Westerners. She plays a North Korean soldier, so she has worked on her role to have the attitudes of a North Korean.

I can't comment on your whole list because there's a lot of drama I haven't seen in it.
But from the little I can analyze, I'm going to assume that most of your opinions are wrong.

So, some objective facts...
- I'm particularly interested in the acting of actresses. Naturally, since I'm a man, they're the ones who grab my attention first. I'm receptive to all the details of their faces. What I'm looking for is a great quality of interpretation.
- For other projects, I have to make screenshots of entire dramas. About 3 frames per second. So I have all the facial expressions of different actresses in different dramas.
- Han Hyo Joo is a movie actress. That means she has more time to work on a role, improve her acting, and make it richer, rather than relying on her natural reflexes alone.

Exceptionally, she agreed to do a drama because she was enthusiastic about the script of "W". Being so motivated by the drama, she worked a lot on her role. Having seen other of her dramas, such as Dong Yi (6 years earlier), her acting is different and adapted to the character. A large majority of actresses don't do that, but rather play their own character. And an even greater number of actresses are unable to display complex expressions, based on a set of anatomical details of the face, ranging from eyebrows to the twitching of the chin.

The richness of the actress's acting in W is just staggering. And this is reflected in all the screenshots of the drama. A diversity of facial expressions that I rarely see. She brought her character to life. The character evolves in the story, and goes through all sorts of different phases, so many different ways of interpreting it.
Do I have to go through it scene by scene? That would be a bit long, and any intelligent person would prefer to watch the drama, and concentrate on its genius script.
And fortunately, she regularly opens her eyes wide! Given her situation in the story, no ordinary character would remain static.

Your article is not unique in the genre, and from time to time I see it on the internet for other actresses, in other dramas.
I've seen the very poor analytical work in these kinds of articles.
It's more about caricatured allergic reactions, where a blogger has taken a dislike to an actor or actress. Maybe because one day one of its characters disappointed them, or the actress was not as good in her debut. Or any other irrational reason.

So for Shin Se Kyung and Six Flying Dragon: thank God I want to see this drama! And I'm not going to use my own prejudices about the actress.
Indeed, Shin Se Kyung is an irregular actress, who unfortunately often chooses bad dramas.
She is sometimes not very expressive, or sometimes overacting very badly (Blade Man). However, she has also had some good performances (her role as a princess in Queen Seon Deok). Or she has been able to completely carry a whole drama with a fresh and funny character (The Girl who see scent).

No. And MDL change my comment into spoiler, but there is no spoiler. It's just a joke and my own script ideas, on how I would make this story funny.

Huge potential here.
Kim Tae Hee is perfect in historical drama.

Cho Yeo Jung and Jeon Do Yeon: I've never seen their dramas. But it will eventually come down one day.

PSH: She always plays the same character. But she does it well.
On Memories of Alhambra, on the other hand, it's a real performance. Especially for the crying scenes. But the audience was disappointed because her role was smaller than Hyun Bin. Anyway, no matter the time of appearance, if it's used well.

I'm reassured that Hwang Jung Eun did the worst on Kill Me Heal Me ! That's when she scared me first.
On Incarnation of money, she was really funny. Maybe it's because her character is a bit crazy from the start.

I see they're fake french-kiss.
They play a little with the lips.
But there's no tongue !!!
:p

Queen In-Hyun's Man : the two actors were a couple.
You can find a hot scene on youtube, which was never put in the drama. It's during the end episode. ;-)

Jealousy Incarnate : I'll have to find this scene again... I'm curious to see if it's real or not. I would have remembered it anyway!

What's Up With Secretary Kim : I admit that this one, I really dropped it!
It was a nice and funny drama, but filled to the brim with clichés. As soon as I felt the point of tangency, I jumped off the ship!

Take a look at this scene, and tell me if it's what you're looking for.
(no subtitle = no spoiler).
https://youtu.be/gMpDr5wx15s?t=26

I put all the "on-hold" dramas in "dropped", because I didn't want to have a lot of different lists.
Inside, there are some dramas that I put aside for lack of time. "It's Okay, That's Love" is with one of my favorite comedy actresses, I'll probably watch it someday. I saw the scene on the TV set that intrigued me. "Temptation of wife" is also not abandoned but I have problems with subtitles. And many others like it.

I'm not an expert on the Korean system. But I just met a Korean guy who's a young director, and I'll ask him about it.
It's very difficult to read a script because it's in Korean, and even if you manage to find one, the machine translation is awful. It's completely unreadable. As much as I'd like to do it, these obstacles make me lose all motivation.
Once I read half an episode (I don't remember the drama), and the script was terribly simplified. That's because the scriptwriter goes to the set herself and gives instructions to the actors. So she doesn't have to write a very precise script.
The only script I know well is the one for "W". And it was a lot of work to get it into proper format. (if you can call it that...)
It's very detailed. In some scenes, the attitudes of the characters are described in addition to their line of dialogue. With such a document, the screenwriter indicated everything that was needed. I noticed on Behind The Scenes that the screenwriter was never present on the set. On the other hand, the director gave a lot of advice to the actors. Especially on a kiss scene that was a little too hot (the actress then ran away to hide).

For fun: All I see in Park Shyn Hye are her big bulging fish eyes full of tears. And I love it!!! AH AH!

My very first message had a humorous vocation, with a little exaggeration, to warn you.
I will not engage in a battle to decide who is the more childish of the two, on an impartial level. :-)

Park Ji Eun: I saw "my love from the star" and I don't remember it well, because it was one of the first dramas I saw. I was discovering dramaland, and I liked the drama, except the end which was grotesque. I especially remember that the first episode was very well written, and the shock of the encounter was very amusing.
I came out of a period when I wasn't watching drama. And I saw Legend of blue sea. Maybe because I hadn't seen any drama for a long time, and there was this very funny actress again, I saw the whole drama. Yet it was awful bad in so many ways in the script. It's an irrational decision, and coming from the fact that the drama was addictive. Mystery.
So after "Legend of blue sea", I still had a bad feeling about CLOY.

Park Shyn Hye and Ha Ji Won, they are actresses that I like. Ha Ji Won had big roles that few actresses could have played. Park Shyn Hye is very expressive, I don't pay attention to a detail about her kisses.
But that's just the way it is, sometimes you are allergic to certain actors.
It happens to me quite rarely, but when it does, it's mostly related to general abilities.
An actress who is always overacting (Hwang Jung Eum). Even then, I found a drama where I found her good. But I don't trust her at all otherwise.
Or an actor who is flat and incapable of the slightest expression (Ro Woon in extraordinary you). Here on the other hand, I think it's a lost cause.

Maybe I can blame an actress for not being pretty. But it's not her fault! It bothers me because I find it difficult to get involved in the sentimental story, since I don't like her. That was the case with the actress in CLOY. Otherwise, she's a good actress (misused in CLOY), though I'm currently watching Jamuyn-Go, and she's great in it.

I focus more on actors who are exceptional, and who have done sensational performances. And there aren't many of them. The others I find them acceptable.
