It's on Netflix too in some regions, if you want to avoid the subtitling faux pas on Viki: using subtitles for reasons other than translation; transcribing song lyrics; subtitling things already in the target language.

saw a clip and the cinematography is wow
I disagree, the cinematography got on my nerves from first second. Blurry focus, shots of the beads falling off of necklaces, stupid shadows, looks like a project by a film student.

On Lies Hidden in My Garden Jun 24, 2023
I ran out of patience at 5:32. What's the point of suspenseful scenes when we've never met the character? When a movie or drama starts like that, even at 8 episodes, it clearly hasn't got the material to fill its time. It's not going to even try to make sense either. Looks like a gaslighting plot, just to annoy me further.

I like him, he was in High Priest Rembrary recently. I didn't recognise him from that photo above!
I've seen 3 dramas with Hye-won ssi but can't remember noticing her tbh... but now she's the subject of a dating article, I'll probably make a point to notice her in Queenmaker 😉

Title Cassiopeia
Not much to grab hold onto here, fine performances and a gritty portrayal of Alzheimer's, but a lack of character development and stuttering narrative takes away the impact that was intended.

Shin Hye Sun is a brilliant actress. She always delivers a top class performance. On the other hand, except for…
No. That's incorrect. It's not just a question of taste either. One of his earliest successes was Empress Ki... he showed everything in that role, the range was incredible... and the courage to take on a character whose flaws outweighed his merits, a weak minded, powerless emperor. I've never seen anything else like it. If you've got time, it's a 51 episode epic.

After that performance he had nothing to prove, he established himself as an actor in the very top tier.

And, maybe taste comes into this one, but he's known to have a theatrical background. He was beguiling as the wizard in Sound of Magic, it's a magical production - a modern fairy tale... like the classics that originated from dark, gothic horror. You need to open your mind a little when something different comes along.

SHS is a good actress but hasn't had any nirvana performances as the lead... yet. Just my opinion. I think My Golden Life is still her best lead to date.

Who, Sa-rang ssi? She speaks 4 languages very well, she's extremely competent, she has a quick wit, she's funny,…
Ah I see... I didn't think she looked like an idiot and she handled the situations better than others, including men. I think the cheer was her reflex, it's to show she's unaccustomed to high-brow events... (although her childhood scene at the beach implies she's from wealthy origins, her outfit was expensive).
The tuna head was a bit of fun, not misogynistic - I thought at first that the rich owner insulted her by making her take home the head, but then I wondered if that is one of the finer delicacies of the tuna... I'm pretty squeamish when I see the dead creature, especially a huge tuna head, I certainly wasn't expecting that!

They are trying too hard with the comedy. Why are they making her look like an idiot? It's not funny, it's misogynistic.
Who, Sa-rang ssi? She speaks 4 languages very well, she's extremely competent, she has a quick wit, she's funny, she's pretty, she can dance... what have I missed?

both of the dramas especially this one is kind of inducing an " oh i should have pursued hotel management " thought…
After Coffee Prince, South Korea was awash with aspiring baristas, signing up to barista courses at universities.
Maybe SK currently has a shortage of hoteliers...

I hear you. Or even know the fancy suite exist and be awed by it, unless it's reserved for family and never ever…
On the way to the fancy suite, Mr Gu's secretary asks her... "you've worked here for 7 years, how do you not know about this room?"

Too much fast forwarding my friends.

It shows he also wants to break up with her but they don't talk about it. Still it's a poorly written drama.
If it's telling you all about his character in a glance, is it poorly written, or is it successfully written?

You called Yoona unpleasant looking? Every South Korean will be freaking mad at you.
I think it's just lonely troll looking for reaction. I'm mad too... and she's only my 3rd favourite actress from Girls' Generation.

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.
