Heartfelt, yet cliche. The plot is nothing original, similar to the stories your parents would tell you so they'd instil morals into you, but it was executed well enough that it did not come off as preachy. Son Ho Jun was a delight: the role not one unfamiliar to him, given his past works. I'd give it a 6.5/10, great for a family movie night.
I find myself increasingly discomforted by shirtless scenes as well. I hate it when women are objectified, or the camera angles take on the perspective of the male gaze, so why is it okay to look at men in the same way? I think this is also where feminist movements that call for the normalization of female nudity stem from; if it's permissible for men to show their upper part, why shouldn't females do the same? For me, I think nudity, for both sexes, should not be depicted gratuitously and only at parts that advance the plots, as in, when it is artistically required. Otherwise, just keep your clothes on!
I am on episode 15, and while this drama started out quite solid and engaging, I feel like the plot fell victim to the cliches frequently employed in other dramas. I am trudging through the episodes, and I am honestly considering just skipping through at this point.
The chemistry between the actors is what really makes the drama, a connection that I felt was missing in the film. I think a major concern for most viewers is the large age difference, but I don't feel a gap between the characters' resultant of it; their characters balance each other fairly well, difference in status and wealth withstanding.
Also, the makeup artist needs to be sued for the horrible foundation match on the lead actors. I get that looking pale is desirable, but this is straight up flour.
Tweny Again had a lovely OST by Roy Kim called You Don't Love Me. It's such a beautiful song that I still love to listen to. Also, It's Ok Not to Be Ok had great English OSTs that I absolutely love!
Be still, my heart! that ending was more romantic than entire tv dramas. This lakorn is literally flawless, a…
Also, I can't believe Taya was only 15 here? The romance wasn't physical, so I wasn't that peeved out, but the idea of it is just icky, especially with the constant remarks on her figure.
I couldn't get past twenty minutes. A silly no-brainer comedy about siblings that employs all the cliches in existence. I wish there's a way to demand back my lost brain cells.
For anyone who watches this and speaks Korean: since this is a period drama, is the Korean a little different…
There's a long history between China and Korea. I believe the Chinese language affected many others due to its political status over history and as the source of Confucianism. Koreans used to write with the Hanja, essentially Chinese characters. Later on, King Sejong created the current writing system, the Hangul, which is notably much easier to learn.
It's a tug of war with Hao Zeyu. He is so easily demotivated, although with good reason. He spent ten years trying to make it work, so I understand why he would give up numerous times. And it doesn't help that he is so stubborn and bad-tempered. I like his character; he is not ideal and only human, which works great in a novel format, not a tv show one. At this point, everything feels like repetition.
I'd give it a 6.5/10, great for a family movie night.
