The scenario too isn't a fit for them.

I'm sure he will, he's got range, a good sense of humour, I get the feeling he picks his projects carefully, the sign of a smart actor.

Yeah, the 8pm Sat/Sun drama sits somewhere between daytime soaps and proper 16 part dramas, I no longer can do it - was initially happy to see tanashili from Empress Ki, but didn't have the stamina.
I guess you've seen Cinderella and the Knights too, also good.

I gave up when I found out it was the 50 episode weekend drama. I liked Love With Flaws a lot.

Thanks Queer, but that's like ordering another coffee when the first one tasted like ditch water.... Ok, maybe a bad analogy, why do people ever return to Starbucks? I see your point. There's always a chance you'll get a decent coffee, like buying lottery tickets I suppose. Or going to watch the latest Marvel movie, when you come out you slap yourself saying "Damn! I just knew that was going to be shit, why did I do that?"

Ok. I'm into retro insults. He looks like Mr Potato Head.

No... why would she? He's not very powerful or attractive. Notice he's from KeyEast, it's an arranged marriage.

Why congratulate someone you don't know? He's the annoying/pointless one in Coffee Prince.

The stars i most respect are the ones that just get married and don't broadcast it. I mean, if two huge stars got married, that's a different thing altogether, it's news... but Kim Dong-wook?

I've never seen a bigger pile of shit than the comments under My Demon. So fake it makes me feel physically sick to read. AI writes like that, adds a bit of 'stupid' to give it that human touch. An SBS drama getting a 4% domestic viewership is pretty crap. And before it started I said the 2 leads couldn't emote, it would be like 2 AI's talking to each other, a conversation between Alexa and Siri, it was like that.

Look for the likely suspects... who benefits from Netflix ratings? The stars' agents, the production company, the stars themselves. It's collusion for certain, we all know MD is average at best.

No, I mean the stereotype, like the way the Japanese are portrayed here. You're being deliberately obtuse.

Good point, we stopped making movies depicting stereotypical evil Nazis in the 1970s in the UK. To make one now would be considered egregiously rude. Whether it's a historical fact or not, all sides commit atrocities in war, no need to give me a lecture. Have a look at the movie The Silenced starring Park Bo-young for an identical take on the subject, albeit with a different narrative style. I rolled my eyes when I saw this because it's a carbon copy - except they've nicked the demon worm from Kingdom so we can get instant gratification, no need to wait for organic growth. Oh well, I'm probably taking it too seriously.

Edit, modern such movies about the Nazis in WW2 are titles like The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, War Horse, Son of Saul. Completely not what Korea's depicting here. The Japanese don't get offended by it btw. What's Netflix trying to do though, they only just finished the other one with Kim Nam-gil and here we go again?

Couldn't get engaged with it. I could see the acting. Nobody was fully committed to who and when they were supposed to be playing. It lacked sincerity. I'm also weary of the incessant need for anti-Japanese sentiment, who are they trying to pander to? It's only Netflix dramas that cultivate this type of disconnection with the audience, whatever they're doing... they must be too arrogant to recognise their mistakes, which they repeat frequently. And disappointed with the opening sequence, not only by the portrayal of the Japanese goons, but why the need to start with monsters - it would have been better to start comfortably with the social set up, make the characters engaging and build from there.

Edit: it's not nobody, I'm speaking hyperbolically, there are a few exceptions in the cast who managed to get into character. Bad direction, lack of preparation and an awkward set for the majority though. The director seems partial to a few long uninterrupted takes. He should figure out why his long takes aren't working if he wants to do that. They look stagey.

What did Park Min-young say when the skeleton jumped on her back?
...
"Get off, you fat bastard!!"

Both 10/10 on the likeability scale.

Who cares? Maybe Ga-young-ssi prefers older men, each to their own I say. She's so hot, probably sick of immature young men and boys trying to get into her pants all day. Well, at least older men don't make it so obvious.
But seriously, she's become a very fine actress, she has a maturity above her years so can carry off many roles of different ages, with costars of different ages.

Fantastic, I like them both a lot. Better not be on Disney.

Yes. Happens a lot, the K-drama fluke. So many directors have had some greats... and some diabolical flops. I guess it's a team effort, the producer often sets the tone.

Sounds good, the drama's suddenly got some potential. I assume the previous pair couldn't work together and forced the director to quit.
