Tbf most remakes of popular shows/movies are just money-grabs, and a half-baked attempt to direct the audience to the original work in an attempt to preserve the IP/copyright.
Actors are carrying this show alone. Otherwise the plot is just π₯²
The original wasn't that good either, but it was one of the first of it's kind that's why it has a nostalgic fanbase. But based on the story alone it was always a solid 5.
idk, do we know what the character age difference is? but honestly, i feel like often people who are younger can…
I haven't watched it yet. I usually wait for atleast 3 eps before I start. If the reviews are good then I will watch per week, otherwise just wait it finishes and binge. I am starting Kidnap today, lmao. My observation was based only off the trailer.
I was talking to my sister on a completely unrelated topic, when I finally realised what's the source of my Joong-issue. I have a 20-yr old cousin, who is a part of that whole Kylie Jenner/Insta-influencer generation. She wears her everyday make-up like an influencer, which horribly ages her up - we always joke that she is going for a "40-yr wine aunt, divorced mum of 3" asthetic. I am 35, so it's quite a BIG age difference. I don't have a baby-face but I take care of myself. I could pass for maybe 30-ish, so not that young, but enough to fool a date or two. So when we are together and she is in her full make-up, I look younger. It's weird and jarring, because you KNOW she is practically half my age, but she gets mistaken as the older one. THAT's how I felt when Joong was called the older one.
But, well, if they have addressed it, more power to them.
I think Joong actually looks older than Khaotung, who has been styled like a babyface for this series.
Na. Khao doesn't have a babyface. He looks his age - 25-26, unlike say Gun or War (Jack and Joker) who can pass younger. Same with Joong. He looks like he is in early 20s. Their styling just makes them seem weird because it doesn't suit either of them.

I'm not talking the age difference, I just can't buy Joong as the older one. At all. Maybe if they had switched Joong to younger, or castvFirst and Dunk as siblings... But Khao and Joong where Joong is the older one just doesn't seem right. Idk it's like something is a wrong with that
I just can't buy Joong as Khao's older brother, esp considering the actor not only IS younger, he LOOKS younger as well. They could have made him the protective younger brother, and Khao as the gullible older brother (not like that isn't a popular trope as well), or they could have just cast another older actor to play the character. Jimmy would have fit better, imho.
"Project 7", a new concept idol assembly reinforcement audition, is open to all 'men who dream of becoming top-tier idols' without restrictions on affiliation, experience, age, nationality, etc....
It's just a regular debut survival show. If they were really true to the synopsis, they would have debuted a group like Eternal Boys (anime), middle-aged uncles who always dreamt of being idols, but life got in the way. If u haven't seen it, it's available for free on youtube and theOST is to die for.
when you are attracted to your blackmailer, anything slides ππ€‘but also heβd be labelled as a victim or…
That's the plot of the show, sure. He was already attracted to the guy even before the blackmail part. That's not an issue here. The issue is that a high-profile lawyer would fold for something as silly as revenge porn, esp in his own home, like he has no other choice.
Even if he sued him after sharing this video, his reputation would be still destroyed.
It's not a sex tape with shady origins. How his reputation be destroyed for being a victim? A man standing naked in his own home, geting spied on. Being a victim on a creep in his own home, being unsafe in a space that should be the highest sanctuary... I could go on.
Jealous of his fame. It's become a thing now. Struggling actor/celeb who has been working for years finally gets…
after reading a fuckton of chinese novels with the exact same plotline, as well as working in entertainment reporting and PR myself, it's very much a real possibility. U don't need facts to destroy a reputation. It takes 5 mins and a single rumour from "close confidant anonymous source" to ruin a celeb, esp if the celeb in question has no big background or support/connections.
Jealous of his fame. It's become a thing now. Struggling actor/celeb who has been working for years finally gets some recognition and jealous cockroaches crawl to out defame and ruin him, because they know trigger-happy keyboard warriors will rush to cancel them.
