I feel like So Ah will think that the Water God is some pure guy with 100% perfection, but in reality his clumsy…
Emm... not sure if I should mention this but it's in the manhwa summary, so it's not really a spoiler....the water god is a child during the day and an adult during the night because of a curse. I wonder if the drama will keep to this double characterisation of habaek or maybe change that to a different twist....maybe a multiple-personality?
Kim Young Kwan's height is a bit scary - he's a head above others and I noticed how he has to bend his head in order to walk through a door! Other than that, the story is ok. If you haven't started it, I suggest you allow the episodes to finish airing to binge on it. It's more engaging to watch at one go but if you have to wait a week for the next episode....the wait might kill the suspense.
Aww~~~look at that cutie pie! I am not surprised he has such a pretty daughter considering the father's a cutie himself! You know what they say....daughters take after their fathers and vice versa!
Ep 1-12: I am not too convinced with the poor acting. Yes, poor acting. There's hardly any chemistry between the leads. Everyone is just so proper that it felt a little like watching a recited stage show with CGI backgrounds. I am disappointed that of all the dramas HXM could have took on, he decided on this one. What a waste of his talents! I think I am putting this drama on the back burner for the moment.
The Japanese were extremely cruel, not only to Koreans but to the Chinese and other Asian ethnicities. In the East, they wanted to enforce "Japanese supremacy" on others while in the west, the Germans wanted to enforce "German/Aryan supremacy" by wiping out the Jews. My parents lived through WW2 and my mother used to tell us how her father hid her under the earthen floor with a gunny sack over her to save her. She had to endure hours of sounds of bullets and bombs and praying that she was not found for the Japanese liked to rape and kill women. They usually gang rape and very violent - some women died with poles, knives etc inserted into them like being skewered! Sorry for the violent mental image but that is the reality of what happened.
Whenever I hear about how violent the Japanese were, I felt bad and embarrassed. Why? Because my mom was Chinese but my dad was Chinese-Japanese and I have Japanese in-laws. Japanese and Chinese blood run strongly in our family. It started with my grandfather who was of noble Chinese blood. He had 4 wives (or rather 1 legal wife and 3 concubines) and one of them was a Japanese woman who was the daughter of a Japanese merchant (my grandmother). During the WW2, dad managed to escape persecution due to his half-Japanese blood and his ability to speak fluently in Japanese, but he was also highly educated and had an official post with the British. He left China when the communists took over and he lost all estates and wealth to the communist government. He had to leave while under disguise for the communists were looking and killing anyone with power who opposed to them (most were educated and/or wealthy people). Until the day he died, he missed China but dared not return there for fear of being caught! A few years after dad's death, we received a letter from our relatives in China on how the communist government was slowly releasing some of our family's lands which they confiscated back to us but it was too little too late. The ancestral home's still under the communist government and being labeled as 'cultural heritage', so we couldn't ever get it back. Both my parents had really interesting stories to tell regarding their experiences. What we should all learn from these is not hatred because hatred begets hatred. No one race is better than the other. We are all equals. Live loving, not hating, and the world will be a better place. When we read about these violent histories, do not read with the mind to hate but with the mind to learn from the past so that history will not repeat itself.
Heard it smashed all ratings across whole of China. Clear front runner in the ratings game, beating many fan favourites. Watch this if you like drama and mystery.
Agree to all and finally someone spoke up against Goblin! The strength of that drama is in the funny interaction between goblin and reaper. They could be the hosts to a variety show together and the ratings would be phenomenal. The chemistry between female lead and goblin is exactly as you said - friendship or even an older bro and younger sis. No romance there. The story is simple and straightforward but dragged out. It's like ordering peanut butter sandwich and when it arrives you realise that the peanut butter is spread so thinly that you hardly get to taste it! They made it as a drama all thanks to the bromance between Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook. I didn't watch Pinocchio and Flower Boy Band and I don't plan to. I finished Bride of Century and IOTL but I had forgotten the stories. I remember thinking that I was bored and wasn't impressed with them. OMV was okay but the story is not amazing - just okay to pass the time with if there's nothing better on offer.
If you enjoyed "Eternal Love" you will want to know that the book it is based on is not an original.…
Yes, the novel was heavily plagiarised! As an author myself, I hate it if someone takes my ideas and hard-work and claim all the credits and $$ gains for themselves! It's like being raped and then told to pay the criminal the $$! Thankfully, I never experienced that but my full sympathies to DFGG! Whilst you can get back to a certain degree the $$ gains from the plagiarist in court; the damage was done and till today ppl recognise TQ more so than DFGG. TQ still gets the fame that should have belonged to DFGG!
Next up - I'm waiting patiently for Yang Mi's hubby, Hawick Lau's "The Legend of Jade Sword" - an adaptation of the novel "Desolate Era" which happens to be one of my fav novel; more so than Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles Peach Blossom. I'm more of an action person. I like my story action packed with a sprinkling of romance. Desolate Era was that sort of story for me. :)
A good drama - heavy on the love and for the hopelessly romantic. Ending a little rushed for my taste - another 2 mins towards the end showing their heavenly wedding would have been a better closure to all of the separations and deaths (or near-deaths?) our characters undergone. But nevertheless a good drama and adaptation of the novel. Side note: I finish this drama with "hair envy".....these people must use hair conditioner like crazy!!!! It's just plain criminal for a bloke to have such long, straight & silky hair! *jealous*
Ep 56 is....well....just have some tissue around before watching it. But the good news is... two more eps and we are done! Yay! Looking forward to the finale tomorrow!
I'm watching it as it airs. Just finished ep 54. If this drama is ending at 58 eps, then my guess is it will not cover all of the novel, especially the parts concerning Dong Hua Di Jun and Feng Jiu. I think it will end with Ye Hua & Bai Qian's story. Could even be a rushed ending. They might do a Season 2 if they want to cover more of what happens after. This seems to be the trend nowadays with Chinese novel adaptations. Drag it out, make more $. *sigh*
why are there so many psychos in this drama? psychos and serial killers (and serial stalkers) are not common. this drama makes it look as if there are so many psychos living within a district itself! that in itself is unrealistic. but then again, whatdaya expect from a drama? admittedly, the story is interesting enough to keep audience interested.
This webdrama was my favourite! It was simply hilarious! Best drama for a reprieve from all those melo, fantasy, thriller, medical, sci-fi, mystery type dramas out there. Just sit back and enjoy! :)
