I loved his acting in Lie to me kdrama and came here for find more of his dramas but what have I found out about…
Sadly, his support team made the wrong move at the beggining of the case. Made excuse no matter what, because it's the usual thing in Korea. But the case made no sens, and while the motivations aren't known yet, it's quite clear he was trapped. Last time I've heard about the case, his attorney was about to counter-attack, because all evidence pointed he couldn't be guilty. DNA tests, testimony, messages on women smartphone, even CCTV at this home. But I don't know the actual follow-up of this. Alas, his carrer is destroyed now. But we can still enjoy his older dramas. Amazing actor.
I find weird that a level 5 culture official servant doesn't know to speak chinese, and only english. It's basically her job to be involved in tourism and welcome people from all around the world. So, english and chinese as main language. China is so big and close to South Korea.
After 3 episodes, the fake relationship hasn't even started yet. It shouldn't take this long for dramas to begin…
It's what I like about many dramas. It's same for Secret Garden or My Girl. There is the main inciting incident (what you call "real plot"), but before, a setup and a first minor inciting incident.
Park Hye Ruyn, most of time, write amazing first episode. And Really!! The best first episodes you can find in dramaland. As a starting solo drama writer, how she did the first episode of that drama? Really good. I could say any other writer had done it until the half and say it's the first episode. But it's very dense, so first half is like a full ONE first episode. And second half pushes the story forward, until the main dramatic question: Is the girl can seduce again the man she betrayed??
About flaws, hard to say it's the writing or the direction, there are cheap effect. I think it comes from the writing. For example, the scene in the elevator, when heroine strike a guy with her umbrella. The situation is really cheap. However, the writing use a "cartoon effect", and when she leaves the elevator (and her boyfriend into trouble), it says a lot about her personnality. As a coherent detail, we understand later that the "umbrella strike" was really powerfull, because this girl is a master of Kendo. She has even a better grade than her father, a kendo professor. For a fun clip about kendo, here one of my favorite song, with a drama-like clip (but not a drama): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glef1XK4rak And for this version of the song even more amazing (but without the story clip): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8B_NxRcQ6w
Je connais deux autres gars français qui regardent des dramas. Ils ont monté un discord (supposé être sur les filles coréennes). Mais j'ai pas grand chose à dire dessus car ils parlent pas tant que ça de dramas. C'est des anciens du 18-25, si ça t'intéresse.
Je trouve la réalisation correcte pour un lakorn, en fait au moins l'image est correct mais rien de grandiose concernant la direction. J'ai pu voir de vieux dramas taiwanais, et là ça pique vraiment question image. Cependant, même les vieux dramas coréens ont une bonne réalisation, certes ce sont de vieilles caméras, un budget réduit ou l'image en 4/3, mais ce que je veux dire, c'est que le travail de direction cinématographique est bon. Après tout, bien réaliser n'est pas une question de caméra mais l'art de raconter l'histoire avec des plans.
Ce qui m'a permis de regarder aussi loin est indéniablement l'acteur principal charismatique, et les deux soeurs. Elles sont craquantes, de vraies beautés.
Ah mais je viens de réaliser que tu es français en voyant ton profil ?! Incroyable !!! Et en plus t'es un mec ?! AH !!! Je dis ça car les dramas ont majoritairement une audience féminine, mais c'est vrai que cela a changé au cours des dernières années.
Episode 1 is good. It's strong dramatics, with harsh FL and etablishing a striking situation. So the story is on rail. Of course it's not the sweet romcom people are used these day, it's more rough with flawed characters, and it's what I like. I'm currently watching an older drama with a similar situation "Get Karl! Oh Soo Jung", the story is based from real facts. There are chances that writers of Cunning Single Lady got inspiration from this drama or those real facts.
I don't remember a love triangle in this. It's mostly a couple having a chance to be one again, but it's difficult because FL is so terrible in episode 1.
It's kinda true. I never focused on this, but now you say it, I think her hairstyle is often the same. I watched most of her dramas, except two last ones because lack of time.
If it's different hairing you focus on, then those two dramas too: - River Where the Moon Rises - The Emperor: Owner of the Mask And Goblin, but her role is short in this (Guest Role).
So the younger single woman is an old maid but the older single man is a golden bachelor. Interesting.
The resume is wrong. ML is a golf champion (so, indeed is a "golden" choice for women because he's famous with money), and FL has same age and is single. She is not rich but makes a bit more money than many people, as jewelry designer and jewelry boutique manager.
Yes, she initially thought of him/drew him, but she's not the author of the webnovel so there's not much of an…
Well, of course I put in the story everything to make audience uneasy and wonder. Not the actual easy drama with cooton girlfriend or boyfriend but real issues. It's what I like in a script: set something difficult to accept but take it seriously and develop it deeply.
Thank you for your reply. I'll maybe do a last try with the drama you rec. Now I've drop Hua Jai Sila. I've no problem with the "slap & kiss" or the arrogant male lead bothering women, it's a bit for that I was curious to watch.
But concretly, the script is a disaster.
Half of the scenes are useless, repeatitive and don't make the story move forward. ML keeps pursuing FL when he's in the time when he tries to get revenge by sleeping with the sister. It doesn't make sens and all the scenes are painful. The guy blocks her to say what? Nothing. Dialogs are empty, or with basic evasive pretexts. She tries to escape, he follows her, blocks her again, arghhh. I mean, such a scene could be good if there was a purpose and not being repeatitive. But here, NOTHING.
Same about the "slap & kiss". Maybe funny but out of context. Just watch the korean drama "Iris" to get that well done.
I've to mention also this: at least 5 minutes are wasted each episode because many scene ends with an endless "face of character 1, face of caracter 2, (do it again during 30 second to one minute)" while there is a out of context stressing music. Then you watch that and wait, wait, wait...
And countless plot-holes, even if honestly, for such a drama, I don't care. I just see it's bad screenplay, and bad writing is a big no for me.
Here a funny thing I see for first time: when they are angry, there is a red light in their eyes. I think there is a prop guy dedicated to lit a flashing red light, off-screen.
At episode 7, the situation is interesting: ML's trying to seduce the sister, while he has a reason to be a jerk with the FL. I don't expect all of that being rational but it gives some dramatic scenes.
