I'm at episode 4 and feeling kinda contradicted. I adore NGM as an actor but i find his acting and character lacking here. I feel like this character is somehow not matcing to him? Is it weird to say? :D I saw him in similar role before, and he was okay, (altough the best i've ever seen was his villain roles) but he can't sell this character to me at all. I can't feel that he likes to play it, that he is one with the character. It feels somehow uneasy watching his scenes.
ok, let me say this even though I’m the only one here-I don’t like Nam Gong Min’s character here. I dont…
I just have to reply because i'm not getting your Oh Hae Young reference here. Are you sure that you understood those scenes rightly? He indeed said "let's get married" to pretty OHY while they played ping pong, but why do you think it was wash off? Cause it clearly wasn't :D They were getting married just before pretty OHY left him. All the scenes with the pingpong was "remembering scenes" before all the break-up happened. The writers wanted to tell us how he proposed to her IN THE PAST: They played pingpong several times IN THE PAST.
So Eric's characters personality isn't change that much towards pretty OHY in the present, just a little. It is actually quite a reasonable change. At first he is angry at her because the invitation was clearly a move to continue their relationship as nothing has happened, and then when he just cleared all his emotions from the past he goes to play one last pingpong match with her. I actually think this was quite genius twist from the writers. :D
Holy cow, this was like the least funny, most predictable, dumbest romantic comedy i've ever watched. It's a true…
Thank you for the suggestion! :) it is on my "plan to watch" list already, but i was really not sure after this one. If they are not that similar, then i should give it a try. :)
Holy cow, this was like the least funny, most predictable, dumbest romantic comedy i've ever watched. It's a true miracle i even survived it! I'm in an actual shock. What was this...
Wow, this sounds interesting, love the concept it seems hilarious!
- "What's happening?"
- "Flashback" :DDD
i was always wondering what the heck the characters do while the 2-3mins of flashbacks, (staring into the space like dumbs?) but now i know! :D
Wait, wait, wait... I missed something? When all this "don't ever leave my side again" (aka. i kinda…
Yeah, I didn't really saw those hidden feelings that well, actually. Maybe in the last two episodes, but even when he saw Seo Woo Jin kissing Swan, it didn't seemed like he was bothered at all, nor like he was afraid loosing her to someone.
Then he shows these feelings for Swan after MaRi decided she can't go to him i . I'm getting the concept of "the first love blinded him and can't really see the new one", i just think it was quite a sharp line, instead of gradually going towards the other one, so it felt more like "so i have to give up MaRi...but wait, now i have Swan" - who has always been right before his eyes tho. I don't know if i'm explaining it as i felt it. Maybe its just me, it can be :) Thank you all for sharing your opinions tho! :)
Wait, wait, wait... I missed something? When all this "don't ever leave my side again" (aka. i kinda love you) feelings developed in Cha Ji Won for Swan? I didn't felt a single speck of it before.
I don't want to rate any drama with Moon Cha Won unni low but if it will continue like this, it will be such a…
I agree, somehow the acting is oddly overdone almost by every actor/actress, which is quite strange, because i don't think i've seen anyone of them doing this as a habit or acting-style. Maybe its because of the director? I can only guess.
( I am mostly surprised by how Yoo In Young acting annoys me here sometimes, i adored her previous works.)
I'm kinda speechless after every week's epiodes so far. (Wich is -almost- impossible for me, i'm picky :D) The acting, the plot, the OST, the cinematography, the action in every episode - the WHOLE QUALITY is the BEST i've ever experienced in Dramaland.
Keep it up, DotS, so far so good! :)
it was quick cash for cj&em production company.. only wanting to make a profit instead trying to make good dramas…
By what i read, it wasn't any chance that the drama-plot (esp the end) can be the same as the webtoon. Even if PHJ and the fans wanted it, the manhwa author clearly stated that she wasn't. She wasn't even wanted this many similarites between the drama and the manhwa. (The question is why she sold the rights then?) So this is the whole reason why the drama started so good and then went down to the end. and why PHJ scenes was deleted and the plot started to focusing on the second lead. They can't do the same ending/plot as the manhwa goes, (the manhwa author asked them multiple times not to) so they came out witht this... well... clearly wrong solution; they went towards the second lead and basically abandoned the main leads plot, then made this half-hearted ending.
The production team was clearly not professional. If they were in contact with the author and do as she wanted this adaption (or at least consider her opinion) the drama had been really good.
The whole point i'm writing this, is blaming the actor(s) for the changes is clearly wrong. :D
If the plot/script changed towards the second lead, its not SKJ fault. He is a rookie actor, even veterans can't change the script (or little). He also said this himself, that he didn't (cannot) change the script, when he talked about "changes" he meant the tones of the dialouges or little acting changes. Not actual changes. :D I am not a SKJ fan, not even close, but i have to admit that he did really good in this drama (according to his previous roles), he developed as an actor a lot and i'm sad that now lot of people focusing on blaming him about things he've never done, instead of seeing his progression as an actor...
Also Kim Go Eun. She did such a good job in this show and now natizens (and foreigners) critize her for the interviews she made.
The fault on the production team, and not on the actors/actresses. They did a good job, so it's sad that people (not especially you, but the natizens) searching the wrong in them. :(
The first question in this article is indeed interesting! :) I'm not a big kpop lover, rather a drama lover, so i can only see and judge them as "actors" in dramas.
Seulong (2AM) was really good in Hotel King, i was surprised when i noticed that he is actually an idol. Also (he is not in this list, but) D.O. in It's okay thats love, however i know about him before i could see his acting, but he and his acting was really convincing in that drama.
Not so much L... i haven't really remember his character in Cunning Single Lady, (since i dropped the drama after 2 or 4 episodes i think), but i certainly remember him in The Master's Sun and also in My Lovely Girl, and i truly think that his acting is atrociously bad.
So it's kinda so-so, of course an idol can act too, but the probem is more that directors are often choose idols for roles because of their fame (and so for their fanbase) and not for their actual acting talent.
Can someone please give me a summary of what has happened thus far in the show? 6 episodes in and i am at a complete…
Instead of ponsting here, i think i will send a pm, okay? :) It is long, and also i don't want to ruin the show for anyone, despite the spoiler button. :)
It is indeed a little but slow. The "regular" OCN 10-11 episodes would be just enough for this plot i think. Or at least for what i think the whole picture will be. I'm not sure, because there were some unexpected little bits in the last episodes (i mean, what about that girl's picture...) that makes it really interesting, and i'm getting this feeling that the background can be more complicated than i actually think it is :D Thats why i love OCN originals :)

Umm, i think its not that difficult at all. I mean, the strings are kinda shady but they are slowly getting closer to each other, and i actually kinda found the way they do it quite brilliant so far. :D
What is that you don't understant? maybe i can help :)
