💥 Breaking new 💥 Actor Lee Jae-Wook hospitalized in the wake of his drama "The Impossible Heir". The scandal breaks! The actor was put under pressure by impossible working conditions endangering his health. The actor's fans blame the writer and director. It is feared that the actor will undergo surgery in the near future. Mr. Kim Seong-Wu, the actor's manager, is taking Disney to court!
Manager Kim released a statement: "We quickly detected that the scene where grandfather Kang Joong-Mo asks the main character never to show his emotions was dangerous. We negotiated to have the script changed, but the production was intractable on the subject."
Producer Park Eun-Seo replied: "It's a risk to take when you're an actor and you want to reach the top. Lee Jae-Wook accepted the challenge. We're not responsible. Changing the scene would have harmed the screenwriter and destroyed her creative vision. We couldn't risk her refusing to work with us in the future."
As a result of this scene, actor Lee Jae-Wook had to play a tense, emotionless, literally constipated character throughout the drama and now suffers from facial tightness.
On this subject, facial surgery professor Go Young-Tak said: "Facial tightness is a taboo subject, but one that affects many actors. The famous actor Lee Min-Ho suffered from it and had to undergo surgery. His facial tautness was extreme and several facial muscles had to be amputated so that his face could relax. A heavy trauma that weighed heavily on his career."
Surgery is risky, and can result in irreversible after-effects! Lee Jae-Wook's fans fear he'll end up like Lee Min-Ho, with a relaxed face but unable to produce facial expressions.
Some actors are taking a cautious approach and living with their disability. Actress Shin Se-Kyung testified: "I suffered from facial tightness very early in my career. I had to play the role of an ingenuous, romantic girl, often surprised or wondering while staring into space. After that, my eyes tightened forever. I'm only able to make round eyes and a blurred, unfocused gaze. It's a heavy handicap that I've accepted, because I think it also gives me a lot of charm, and my fans love my round-eyed, unfocused look, even if they see only that throughout the drama".
💥 Breaking new 💥 Mr. Park Eun-Seo, CEO of korean production company sues Disney for misleading translation. According to Mr. Park, Disney purposely mistranslated the title of the drama.
Original title was: The Impossible Hair.
Mr. Park said: "Because of this, the audience got the wrong idea about the drama and the ratings have collapsed. The audience couldn't make sens of what's happening in the story. It's very unfair to actress Hong Su Zu who worked a lot on her hair".
just writing about thinking of dropping it after ep1, don`t recall when did I ever drop a drama this fast..
Reborn Rich director is Jung Dae Yun, the same than King2Hearts (one of my fav dramas). And he's an excellent director. There were two directors in King2Hearts, Jung Dae Yun worked several dramas with a pair director. I don't know who did what exactly, if it's two teams dramas or there is an assistant director. Anyway:
In King2Hearts, we see first episodes the images in the palace with the warm and sophisticated lighting and composition. Then episode 2, the famous "bring a glass of water" scene in the white room, looking like a Stanley Kubrick scene. Here I'm sure this director did that, because he often put a reference to great movies in his dramas.
Reason why I was interested by his style is because he also did my all time fav drama (W). So I was curious about his work. As many artists he improves over time, and damnit, Reborn Rich directing is insanely good. Just watch the very first scene with the close up on the round mirror.
Reborn Rich story is a bit the one of Impossible Heir, but well done.
I see quite a few people here asking why this show is getting much more hate/anger than scripts that are written…
Unlikeable main characters, not because they are gray or bad, but because we don't care about them. Why and how the writer did that mistake, I'd like to know, but it seems it relies on a lot of different reasons. Among them, the fact they are dull and in a depressive mode most of the time.
I find myself liking more simple characters like Kang In Joo. We don't have a lot of background and the character is a bit cliché, however he's likeable in the way we are always curious to see how annoying he will be as the jerk of the drama, and the scene will be funny.
20 millions for these 12 episodes. I don't see where the budget is gone. Memories of the Alhambra was 20M too, 16 episodes, perfect directing, high ranked writer, most paid male actor, CGI of augmented reality, and half the drama shot in Spain.
In every episode there are many scene which need details about what happening
It's not that, it's more: You're about to die tomorrow, then... What do you want to tell about life, your certainty and your failures? And you can't cheat with a dramatic recipe. You can't just use a "known formula for getting the audience". It's about to tell the emotional truth.
Yes, but everything is overated here.The formula to put it right is: (NOTE - 5) x2.So this drama is 4.2/10.
It was the kind of irrational thinking a lot of people do. As well to propose something than accuse wrongly. Didn't you notice how people are today? You can watch an episode of South Park 5 years ago and laugh a lot. But now, the parody have become the reality.
Yes, but everything is overated here.The formula to put it right is: (NOTE - 5) x2.So this drama is 4.2/10.
Let's test with "special exception": - Drama A is 8.6, then becomes 8.6. - Drama B is 8.5, then becomes 6.4. Drama A was just better than drama B for 0.1, then is 2.4 difference. By the way, how do you get a drama rated 7 or 8 ? 🙄🙄🙄
It seems the actors won't receive a full script when they're offered or casting for the role. There would only…
I'd like so much to speak korean and find everything about that on korean internet. I did some search about that in the past and got some interesting informations. I also think they don't have the full script.
Or it depends on the dramas, we have:
- Full pre-production. The drama is filmed 100% before airing. Here is a chance the script is fully written before the actors get it.
- Half pre-production: Half the episodes filmed before airing. They continue to shoot and writer continue to write the script during airing. Even when the script isn't fully written, the writer have an outline.
- No pre-production: or just few first episodes. It's the case you mention, during broadcasting, the script can change according to the audience. But it was a process used more in the past. Today, dramas are more pre-produced, at least drama with < 16 episodes with high quality image and script. For KBS family dramas or things like that, I think they shoot and write that along the way.
A lot. of course, live operation, it's fake blood or meat, cut with scalpel.But when they do it by cam, I wonder…
It's ok, I watched the drama. Excellent one. By the way, I've also a gory surgical operation scene in the kdrama I'm writing, but it's not a medical drama. I think it's ok in a medical drama because if I was wondering what profession I want to choose and I like medecine, I'd prefer to be prepared with the reality.
That's why the ratings are often skewed, because people rate the drama based on their "favorite" actor. It should…
I think it should be good to go from movie to drama. In a movie, all is faster, to the point and should be without dead time. Well, it depends on the movies.
Impossible Heir have some scenes with "movie reflexes": I mean the scene start the later possible, and cut as early as possible. But I was wondering in a previous comment if it was the good thing to do for some scenes. Maybe more developpement could help about emotions and better get the relationships.
Then, my fav dramas are often written like movies (giant 16h movies), without fillers and many twists and turn, but still portray correctly the universe of the drama. Recently, the drama Death's Game really give you this feeling.
Now, about the difficulties: outline a movie is more easy because it's short. Outline a whole drama is of course more difficult. And when you can rewrite the script of a movie 4 or 5 times, it's not really possible to do it for a drama.
So, let's say you have made mistake during the preparation phase but are unable to see it (and it's quite easy to make such mistakes), then you write it but don't have much room to fix that. If it's about something related to the whole structure, it's dead.
Over time, I can find that kind of problem in dramas, even from famous writers. It's not because they are doing it badly. I think they put their best, but it's just crazy difficult. As long as the drama isn't written, there is always a kind of blur. And when it's done, it's too late.
Also, in a movie, you don't repeat twice the same information, while the older drama writers often did (with additional flashbacks). For example, in Impossible Heir, maybe the writer did the scenes with FL and ML for first episodes and stated: ok, now I started their relationship, it's done. But we don't feel it after some episodes. Plus we don't binge watch but watch on air and forget the information and feeling along the way.
Add to that, the character wasn't enough likable to make believe in a romance, and it's screwed. When the writer sincerely did her best to portray the FL with her backstory, ambition personnality, etc. Only, it wasn't the good personnality for that story? But now it's too late, all was structured in this way. There was a kind of blindness, and the writer missed that. And it's difficult to spot when you are alone facing the pages.
Good stories are never dated. I watched 3 episodes and I'm addicted. I guess it will be a rude love triangle, with indecise FL, annoying, turning guys crazy. And it's exactly what I like when an actress is so beautiful and quite good in her role.
Finally, I haven't started the show yet but have seen a lot of hate towards FL she can't act etc saying the support…
You think a 20 millions budget drama is an acting classroom? And we should somehow be "patient" and accept this terrible actress in this drama, waiting some years before she improves? (and destroying some other dramas along the way).
It's the highest competitive level. Any rookie just get a guest role. And should be 100% confirmed for the leads. I don't see any reason for this dull model to be here, except some kind of "business exception" behind the scene.

SFL is so pretty, and does easy the capricious daughter role.
I did some search about that in the past and got some interesting informations.

It's 1/10 the image quality, but the story is addictive and actors excellent.
I watched 3 episodes and I'm addicted.
I guess it will be a rude love triangle, with indecise FL, annoying, turning guys crazy.
And it's exactly what I like when an actress is so beautiful and quite good in her role.
