Finally done with this ..Binged in 2 days and wow,it is going to be difficult for any drama top this for some time 10/10 for the acting,direction,writing and OSTs/BGM..This moves at a break neck speed till Ep 15 and goes into pure romance drama territory in Ep 16 which i didn't mind.The characters needed some peace finally and understand themselves. While maybe this drama didn't have huge sets,effects and other fantasy elements it shows how a good story,actors and technical team can make anything world class This will come next to Iljimae and near Scholar who walks the night now for me in LJK dramas list.I rank iljimae higher simply because of much higher stakes and fantastic action set pieces..As a character of course Scarlet Hearts 4th prince is up there. And for all those getting discouraged by comments about ending ,don't...It was beautiful Apart from LJK and MCW,Jane Hee Jin and Seo Hyun woo ,Kim Ji Hoon are fantastic..The entire other supporting cast is awesome too. No unnecessary characters,no slapstick comedy for the sake of it,no outlandish elements at all..Everything is mixed in appropriate proportions. On a lighter note ,this show is the biggest advertisement for a marriage I have seen in Kdramas -one that can solve all your problems..
Am a big Lee Jun Ki fan but wanted to really appreciate Moon Chae Won in this post.. Moon Chae Won never ceases to amaze me in her strong woman roles..I was blown away by her inn"The princess Man" where she single handedly shielded her husband from death by going against her father,the King of all things.If you haven't seen it the show is watchable for her alone.. In this one ,she is fantastic again with utter devotion to her husband and family when it matters and showing great strength in protecting him at great costs to herself.The way she portrays this quite strength seems to be why korean PDs keep picking her for these roles. This drama is one for the ages.
I see you love this drama as well, alongside Flower of Evil~! I can't believe people who compared this to My Father…
So true.. My father is strange is full on romcom with Melo but this one is a much for serious drama about people finding their life paths.. And yes,am enjoying Flower of evil a lot-it is meeting all my high expectations so far.
Am 4 eps in and it was totally worthwhile to wait to binge this..The suspense over waiting for next episode would have been killing if I had watched it as it aired Not a minute in this is skippable so far.. Each character justifies its screen time..LJK and MCW have such awesome chemistry and their early courtship scenes are heart flutteringly good and current scenes are incredibly sexy for a Kdrama Never thought I'd like a thriller as much as Stranger.. This one tops that with an excellent romantic line.This drama is a lesson on how to make proper romantic thriller Kdrama. Really hyped up for the series.
As far as Kdramas and all time travel stories go,I would place Nine times travel at the top of the list..Fantastic premise and superb execution in spite of multiple time travel instances..Not started watching this yet but hope this one is as good especially as am a Joo Won fan
I have watched Dexter and The Blacklist same concept as this drama so i was hoping a lot. I thought male lead…
If u want Dexter,it is better to watch that itself.US TV shows have multiple seasons which can be good for characters like Dexter..This is a diff story and very well suited to Kdrama watcher sensiblities where people watch around 16 one hour eps.Regarding the character,of course,we can have different opinions.
Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won have insane chemistry..The first 3-4 mins of the first ep are enough to hook you to this showThe way the ost "Feel you " plays ,wow..The feels are just out of this world.Glad the PD understood his lead cast strengths and made up for super dreary criminal minds remake which had no sunshine,only dark clouds.
This is looking more and more similar to Japanese Manga "Tge Flower of evil" with a different setting..The ending could be very diff than what looks like
While LJK honestly carries most of his dramas (he is that good) this one seems an exception Maybe he gets or chooses dramas like that or maybe the writers and PDs get greedy to use him to max extent
