Now.... this is one actor I will support! Dong Won is a serious mature actor and the movies and dramas he starred in have good stories and intrigues. He had starred as protagonist and antagonist; in comedy, in melo, in supernatural, in historical etc (you name the genre and he's pretty much covered it!)... the man is a flexible and talented actor. Looking forward to his next project. Hwaiting!
YR + TH - incompatibility and difference in expectations. YR is a woman that requires emotional security and lots of attention from her partner while TH is a doer and a practical person who excels in his career because of his single-mindedness and determination to excel. Even when he tried to remember the past, he remembered what he did and not how he felt or made others feel. The type of woman suitable for TH is one who is practical and 'low maintenance' in terms of emotional requirement, but I can understand why TH is attracted to YR. As the saying goes, 'opposite attracts'. If YR + TH ends up together, theirs will be an explosive type relationship with lots of ups and downs due to the difference in personality. For dating, this type of 'colourful' relationship is ok as it helps you to expand passionate energy (when fighting and making love) but if really wanna settle down for the long term (eg: marriage), there will be lots of issues to iron out. Need strong determination to stay in this sort of relationship; as YR realized herself from the lesson learned from being with TH was "...it is not how much love but how much you wanna make it work..."
YR + HJ - compatibility but insecurity and poor communication. Both YR & HJ are the "feeling" type ppl. They are the sort who would give up anything for love. The fact that HJ did not give up looking for a 'sister' he was close with in the orphanage tells us that he is the sort that places a lot of emphasis on emotions, relationships and memories. Problem with both HJ and YR is their poor communication and hesitancy to share their deepest secrets because "feeling" type ppl with bad experiences will feel vulnerable and exposed once their darkest secrets or fears are known. They say that they tell each other everything and do not hide things from each other but the problem is they did not tell each other things that matters most; hence the poor communication! It is the quality, not the quantity that matters. They intuitively try to protect themselves by demanding from others (for feeling of security) but keeping a certain distance when it comes to their deepest fears. They need to overcome this to be together. Once they are open and honest with each other, their relationship will be smooth sailing with minimal ups and downs. Some ppl might even call it 'boring' or 'steady' type relationship. For the long haul such as marriage, this is ideal but only if they solve their communication problem and personal insecurities.
The marriage proposal is something new. The original Daniel character never proposed but he did (for a short period of time) became her bf. I wonder if the director will retain the second car accident scene? I think it's an important scene that shows how concern Lee Gun is for his wife.
i didnt watched the Taiwanese version so i don't know what will happen at the end but i think that daniel real…
Daniel's sister is the ballerina - Se Ra (Lee Gun's ex-gf). She was adopted by her ballet crazy mother and had undergone plastic surgery in order to pursue her professional career. However, the scar at the back of her shoulder remained and it is a reminder of the accident Daniel caused her little sister when they were younger (I think he accidentally spilled hot water on her when they were both younger and scarred her back). It will all be revealed closer to the end.
Another 'Hollywood type' drama wannabe! What with the K-genre of the season (it's about superpowers now)??? So we've gone from contract relationships to high school to paranormal to superpowers. Sigh... what's next???
The success of FTLU (Taiwanese version) was because it brought out a range of emotions from its viewers - anger, sadness, humour and happiness. There are basically two arcs to the story - the first that happened by accident and the second that happened by fate. Now that we had gotten to the miscarriage part, the coming scences will be on how the two leads get together after a fresh start. The female lead will be a much better character (confident, successful, has her own career etc) in the second arc.This is when the real love story begins! Another successful Taiwanese drama that has the ups and downs with a great storyline is Autumn's Concerto. I wonder if the Koreans will adapt AC in the future as well???
Someone, please tell me that Mi Young doesn't date the scumbag Daniel, please, I beg that the writers don't have…
Don't you know that the 'success formula' that drama writers nowadays like to us is the presence of a likeable second male lead to create a situation where the viewers love both men and could not decide which one to side? So get ready to state your ground:- are you in team Daniel or team Gun?
Slow and steady is ok as long as it keeps the viewer hooked for the subsequent episodes. With slow and steady dramas, the ability to tell a story is very important - otherwise, it will just turn out to be a boring flop.
Why do Korean dramas have to have amnesia added into it? Do they know that amnesia is a very very uncommon occurrence in real life? This simply reduce the "reality" of the drama. Stick to the original formula.....get to the scene where she losses her baby and we can move on to the next arc of the story where he sets all out to court her!
A Korean attempt at the chinese ghost stories type drama. The acting needs more polishing. It's hard to coordinate acting with CGI effects without having odd sequences between human and CGI character interactions. The chinese have perfected this skill in their often CGI-filled wuxia or historical-paranormal type series. The Koreans have much to learn. Having watched the first 2 episodes, I think I will shelve this one until after it has completed. No hurry to watch.
As an appetizer to this, I re-watched the first RK and all of the anime's episodes (all 95 episodes plus the 2 OVAs!). Currently, reading through the manga. Nothing beats setting the scene for the upcoming RK movies! ;)
A group in viki is picking this up as a subbing project. For those of you who can understand mandarin, you can watch this at various chinese media sites such as iQiyi or Letv. However, access to certain countries may be restricted due to copyrights. I know someone is loading the un-subbed HD episodes via youtube - search for it using its mandarin title. I am enjoying the episodes so far. Cute and light-hearted! :)
