I started watching and was gripped by how dark and intense it was and yet I was nervous that I would be duped. At first, I thought "this character better get the girl he's so complex". Then I saw the clown. I started to suspect that it wouldn't end the way I wanted with this amazing character, so I skipped to the last episode. Lo and behold, the clown got the girl. So glad I missed a headache of a show. I still love YJG's acting. I imagine he'll have a long career with the years he already has under his belt.

can't finish this. it's soooo boring. it was clear that the role was written for the actor like all his other dramas. his past dramas were excellent, but here, i wasn't impressed. i have nothing to say for the FL.

"He's an idol that the general public love, who manages to "convert" fans to listen to EXO and has more achievements and endorsements than one person can know what to do with."
Are you saying that most fans who listen to EXO become EXO fans because of him and not other members? The last part of your statements sounds like fangirling and doesn't contribute much to your article.

wow, william chan... i cannot stand his acting even with a ten-foot pole. i find he takes himself way too seriously and appears egocentric. tbh, i cannot tell if it's his real personality or if that is the way he's been marketed (he may be, in reality, a nice guy and a good musician -- haven't heard his music). still, i dropped every one of his dramas because of his "i'm too cool for school" vibe in combination his mediocre acting skills.

The blatant mockery of the "Thai" in this drama is repulsive. The country recently caught flack for doing "blackface." I hope they learned their lesson and will stop using outright prejudice towards minorities as humour.

Maybe put a spoiler alert for this review.

Wow. That was so boring and sappy. I feel bad for JKY. He's totally been typecasted since My Ajusshi.

Korea did develop a partnership (mentorship?) with Thailand on cultural products at some point. That became apparent to me about four years ago. Thailand also consumes a lot of Korean cultural products.

It's so sad. I wanted to skip the scenes with JSY right at the first scene with her but I waited. Then, she started having monologues and that was all I could take. Won't get past episode 3 because I'm skipping so many scenes.

I got to say that that was the most random show ever. It cycled through 3 different genres at least from the beginning to the end.

I stuck with this drama until episode 12 because I saw that they were bringing in stronger actors as the show progressed. Still, I find Confession suffers from a weak and predictable plot, a ridiculous character relationship web, and lousy dialogue which makes even the veteran actors seem over the top. Otherwise, the pacing is good, and I'm surprised that the background sounds-music doesn't bother me as it does with most dramas these days. Can't say I will finish it.

Stranger is a higer calibre work than Confessions. The pacing and music is good here though. The central characters don't have great actors but I see that the actors are trying. Even so, there have been some cringe-worthy moments.

Is it just me or is there an ex-detective running around like he still has his badge. If so, why are none of the people in authority questioning this? I'm at episode 6, and it seems to make little sense. For example, he tailed the guy who left prison. Doesn't that become stalking when you are not even assigned to a case and more so when you are not an officer of the law?

I started watching because of the ending comments from the final episode review on dramabeans. meh... i didn't like this one. there were jokes but they got old. the female character's logic of trying to use him as a worker after begging him to help her out and marry her made absolutely no sense to me. at moments when these issues could be addressed in the drama something else happened and they dropped the ball. no reason to think deeply about this. i finally dropped it after she slapped him for asking her why she didn't marry the old dude and become a concubine. his logic was sound. not to mention, the classism also seriously bother.

I love how this post off mine sparked a discussion when all I was doing was sharing my personal feelings about the drama. @Lilly - I would rather my character not be judged by a two simple statements. Also, @Forgotten, it's okay that you don't find the dialogue cheesy, I do though. I also watched to episode 9.

i miss my sweet girl. welcome back to dramaland eun hye ssi.

Oh I forgot our leads brooding face never changing expression and our female lead’s ornament-like placid role to the male leads. Okay maybe it’s not so good. Can’t see myself going far with this one after all.

This show. I have such mixed feeling about it. It’s good. BUT the shots and dialogue are sodamn cheesy. The traditional themes are overstated and the music- this new trend of using early 20th century Hollywood movie themes drive me up the wall.

I love the whole America this America that. It’s so prejudice. First, these are not the values of Americans, these are the values of snobs which you can find anywhere. Second, most of the things they are prolejudice against comes from the American Chinese community. Whether they are native or immigrated. Third, what kind of inferiority complex does one have that he/she has to put down another’s values to feel good about his/her own. values. Neither capitalism or (capitalist) communism has shining ideals. They are equally faulty and equally of merit.

Couldn’t agree with you more. Though, I already dropped it.
