I understand that most of you like the lead actors, but come on, don't "FAKE" it. If it had new actors, you would…
I get what you mean. I don't think either lead is a 'natural' at romantic comedy but I'm enjoying it. Incidentally, Kim Ga-eun and Go Won-hee, the supports, both have natural comedic timing - timing is the key to comedy, it's also in the hands of the director. Take the roll of the suitcase... the moment was timed perfectly, the fun in the reactions weren't quite there. But it could have been lost in the edit, so I'm not gonna say any more.
the time skip of 7 years is really long and im surprised he still remembers her from that long ago after that…
Maybe it's to show he's not petty - she should have been fired, even if he was the creepy guy, that's assault! Big moments tend to stick in our memory, maybe not the faces - but... when a face from an imprinted memory reappears in front of you it suddenly rings a giant gong, memory is fascinating.
For some reason I am not liking the action of FL. For someone who have lived 18 lives she seems kind of blind…
I'm with you... my thoughts were about how she reconciles her male and female incarnations with her sexual preference... how does it work to remember a female lover when reborn later as female, and vice versa, must be complicated. I feel like I'm a killjoy for mentioning it, but that's what I was thinking about! After 19 lives she could have a lot of fun. I wonder how many lives it would take to reach an eventual psychotic meltdown, insanity must already be festering at #19.
So for I enjoy the drama but I wonder if 16 episodes would not have been better for this drama
Yes, the first episode seemed to cut very quickly through the backstory... saying that, it wasn't dull for a second. I'm on your side, I think over 16 episodes the cast and crew can cultivate a little more rapport and teamwork.
I fucking love this drama so much. The cast, the acting, the plot, the screenplay, the ost, everything is on the…
Jun-ho's character in King doesn't grab you, he seems the typical and trite chaebol at first.. but that drama will grow, worth sticking it out for 3 episodes imo, then decide. It's confusing they're both about hotels, I'm going to start getting confused about which drama each scene belongs to!
E2 was certainly an improvement. The story is starting to take a shape.Eventhough I am watching because SHS in…
Agree, there's no rapport among the adults yet - the kids have ruled so far, all their scenes were good and those between the kids and the adults, such as the marvellous scene between Ahn Bo-hyun and Park So-yi in e2 shows it can be done. That's the director's job, to make a comfortable set. The stylists making the actors uncomfortable doesn't help.
Great story, good pace for the first episodes, pulled my heartstrings and the kids were all great in episode 1, they had pretty much the whole episode to themselves and they nailed it. There's a small problem so far, and it's with Studio Dragon... why does 24 year old Ms Ban look like an ahjumma? It's Studio Dragon's hair stylist, and the wardrobe is close behind in the race for bad taste. That thread-bare fringe looks terrible. Just like Jeon Do-yeon in Crash Course in Romance. So... drama-wise it's great, but fashion, hair and makeup is, once again, wrong. The egoist that's making the performers carry their vision needs to be removed, they don't have the slightest sense of building a style from the artists, nothing looks right at all in that regard, it's going to bug me constantly.
People criticising this drama need to STOP. I would watch a hundred more dramas like this with the very simple…
Agree, me too... your second sentence is perfect on its own. It's not for us to tell others to stop though, all views are welcome - otherwise these comment sections would be worth nothing and a bit dull.
Finally an enjoyable rom com. First episode was great! The only thing im disappointed about is the female sunbae…
The writer's telling us that the boss is an asshole that's threatened by her talented hoobae, your annoyance proves it's successful writing, albeit in summary form. Barging into staff training to reprimand the teacher in front of the new employees is also unacceptable.
A complicated start with a host of characters to meet, but lots of positives from the first episode. Jun-ho's English castle with butler and a drive around London's West End (hope UK tourist board paid handsomely for the plug) 👍, landing on a building by parachute, wow!👍, a heavyweight trio of actresses in the leading ladies' camp 👍, modern sns humour: bad gym etiquette and battle of the sexes 👍 (despite Yoon-ah's rash behaviour in only the 2nd day of her job probably enough to get fired 🤔), workplace struggles for the middle-down employees, like most of us 👍.
If you are outside of korea, I think avoiding spoilers is quite easy, unless it's a wildly popular webtoon like…
Sure, I've learned to avoid most spoilers basically by avoiding MDL... Even that's getting harder when MDL plants spoilers in the article headlines and they arrive on my news feeds! I had to completely block Soompi for that reason. What I meant was that, like books, the source material is already out there with an established fan base.
King The Land will probably take the plaudits for drama quality, but 19th Life will win in popularity stakes. Luckily they're not going head-to-head, and even if they were... viewers can watch on OTT, there's really no such thing as a head-to-head on TV any more - broadcasters actively avoid such confrontations anyway... why sacrifice even .1% of your audience in such a futile competition?
Pizza hut made a new pizza with ham and anchovies... but omg, it's got cheese and tomato on it, AGAIN?? WTF!
Others might say "what did you expect?" or "order something else".
Don't you think?
