Hating to be the bearer of bad news, season three will be without the doctor and the lawyer. Neither showed up for the first reading. The roles will have to be re-cast I should think. SungHoon is working on another drama he would have been foolish to turn down- the Korean version of Jane the Virgin. (It is called “From This Day On We Are” or something close, on here. Another wacky translation of a title!) And the doctor, my guess is he may have played his role a little too well and it may be affecting the type of scripts he had been receiving. Truth be told, he was very reluctant to play the role in the first place and had to have his arm twisted. It’s a shame because he was brilliant in the part. A general note: In Korea cheating is viewed as one of the worst things one can do. Mistresses can often be found liable for breaking up a marriage and must pay restitution. They can also be tarred and feathered in the public square. In North America it is not seen that way. There is room for some grey area. That grey area simply does not exist in Korea. So you will be hard-pressed to convince anyone to change their mind. By the same token, Americans are not heading for hell any time soon.
If you have taken an interest in Byeon Woo Sok, the tasty Crown Prince you can check him out in Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency. It’s another fluff drama but quite enjoyable. BTW it’s his lips that are note-worthy.
The icehouse find and who supplied the liquor has been a key plot point for the last three episodes.
Ah but that discovery leads to first inkling that someone big has to be behind the whole setup and that someone has to be within their own ranks. EEGADS!
I actually anticipated this drama from the very first start but all of my expectation got crushed quickly. It's…
bingo! Expectations are what keep everyone from enjoying what is in front of them. If you cannot do so, no need to complain about it. Just drop it and find something else. If you really are ticked off, write a review. Please understand the negativity is so wearing on the rest of us!
I am really enjoying this drama.. and it's not confusing to me, I wonder why many find it confusing? One thing…
Not every drama will be suitable for everyone. Sageuks often require sorting out many characters, their alliances and their motivations. You have just illustrated this. So one has to put the popcorn down and pay attention.
The so-called ‘lack of chemitry’ between the leads is an example of a slow burn romance. You don’t always get hit over the head and hear bells. True story. Couples can even loathe each other at the beginning. The Crown Prince may even realize what a gem he has in front of him. The same can be said of the humour! The are many different types . So you cannot expect slapstick in every drama. Humour can be subtle. And can go over people’s heads (I am often the only one laughing in the movie theatre. Remember those?) There has been humour in each episode but it’s been whispering.
I'm currently watching most of the dramas that are on air and there are much better plots and interesting acting…
A story about how prohibition impacts people’s lives will need to be all about liquor. One tends to be money hungry when one has a debt if unpaid will get your fingers cut off.
