The summary is perfect ;DIt's just like in the novel. I wonder how they are going to translate it on to the screen…
If it was Korean they'd open with that sequence in cute animation, which would be hilarious, and then transition to live-action. But having watched about 25 historical-fantasy c-dramas by now, I think they might use some creative editing and show it in live-action. Anyway, I love the 2 leads and can't wait to watch it.
" On the way to escape from the marriage, Shen Li was beaten back to the original form of a phoenix and fell to the world with injuries. When she was seriously injured and comatose, the mortal hawker treated her as a fat chicken, plucked all the hair from her body, and locked her in a cage for sale."
She's reached the point in her career where she's all about improving her acting skills by taking on roles that…
Ah! Haven't seen MHE yet, but from the clips I've seen and comments I've read, the OTT plotting DEMANDS the suspension of disbelief--which isn't a problem for me, especially if it provides Nara with the opportunity to really let loose.

Last two? I agree that Family was a mess thanks to an inexperienced director who didn't know how to communicate with the equally inexperienced writer. I suspect Nara took on that project because the director's projects as executive producer were winners and because fans were clamoring for a reunion with Jang Hyuk. But if you're saying that SYHH was a bad choice, I strongly disagree. IMO, it's a masterpiece .
She's amazing for ranking second in actor's brand reputation while starring in a drama with low viewership. Given…
She's reached the point in her career where she's all about improving her acting skills by taking on roles that are not the rom-com heroine that made her a household name, but truly complex, not always likable, roles. True fans applaud her choices, admire her for her dedication to her craft, and will buy anything she's selling.
It is very different from TWOTM bcos this one focuses on FL's bipolar issue and how she tries to remember what…
MHE digs much deeper than World of the Married. And the FL in MHE isn't just "mentally unstable"--she's delusional to the point of being schizophrenic, requiring meds to function. That's WAY different.
Same thing happened to me watching Nara's The Last Empress.
I think she was originally supposed to end up with 2nd ML, but the producers kept adding extra eps. and he became unavailable so they had to kill off his character. LOL. Yeah, totally crazy but also totally addictive.
you could compare korean fans to the roman coliseum entertainement when the public had the power of life or death…
When people will believe anything that's negative about a celebrity just because the entertainment media posts it on the internet, the result is, at best, that the celebrity's career is put on hold, and at worst...I don't think I have to say it. Fortunately, Park Min-young is a strong and her fans are faithful.
People comparing it unfavorably to Alien should check out their production budgets. And if there's a contest between what Ha Ji-won had to do to make Sector 7 so watchable and what Sigourney Weaver had to do to make Alien so watchable, forget it. Ha Ji-won is the hands-down winner.
I've seen two dramas directed by Jo Soo Won PD: The Time We Were Not In Love and Today's Webtoon. While the first…
I had the opposite reaction. Imo Today's Webtoon was repetitious and disappointing, while The Time We were Not in Love had a realistic (unflinching) story line and a great performance by Ha Ji-won, who once again proved her versatility and that she could play a rom-com FL better than actresses who do nothing but rom-coms.
I don't understand all of the hate for this drama. The ML worships the FL, doesn't think he's good enough for her. Because of that, he tells her he'll be her best friend for life. Because he tells her that, despite the fact that she likes him, she looks elsewhere for a romantic partner. But his constant presence gets between her and any guy she's with. And hating Ha Ji-won, who proved how versatile she is by out-acting most of the actresses, who do nothing but rom-coms, is just silly.
WAIT... WHAAT?!
