To the drama or the special (movie)?

Brilliant, thanks for the heads up, looks great

Sunny. It's a brilliant film. She's brilliant.

Quite surreal. If you're not a fan of gaslighting plots and characters keeping secrets for no reason (other than keeping the plot simmering for 20 episodes)... this is not for you! I'm on a Park Soo Ae spree at the moment, I gritted my teeth and made efforts to prevent it to winding me up... and enjoyed her performance, over the top shenanigans and all.

Lol, here's the explanation:
"No sources provided. Only statement or nothing at all , are autoreject."
Whatever.
The source is **the movie**.
No more edits from me.

Average. Cliché vampires that burn in sunlight and have super powers. Just that with some craziness added. The best vampire movie I ever saw was The Hunger directed by Tony Scott - now that was stylish and original.

She's got a small part in Thirst, the movie by Park Chan Wook - I tried to add it, but my edit was rejected. If anyone's interested, she plays one of the disciples in tents, listed as Whistle Girl.

I see, my bad. We're definitely not on the same wavelength.

I see. We're not thinking on the same wavelength. In Train to Busan, the wife's role was to illustrate a businessman in an estranged relationship, nothing more - the paternal love for his daughter, something he'd thus far taken for granted, was the driver - made all the more powerful by those glimpses into his circumstance.

I know I'm getting boring... I classify all those as romantic, or maybe more the classic definition of Romanticism.
I can define each one, but take Broker, the scene in the old, creaky ferris wheel between Lee Ji-eun and Kang Dong-won couldn't have been more romantic, a cinematic gem - if you extract the rest of the film it's meaningless by itself, what a scene that was, empowered by the moments that didn't seem romantic at all.

Indeed... thanks, that was the point I wanted to make!... What you state as zero romance might not be a zero, just subtle... but when it is an absolute zero, it's less satisfying. Did you see any on my list you'd class as zero... maybe there's a glimmer somewhere?

Yes, well played Japan, they were awesome, too many great players in the team with Otani and more. Too strong.

Understood, makes sense. Must-win game for SK... they might be wishing they watched dramas instead by the end, let's see!!

I don't mean any offence. You're a matter of fact type of guy, we're not on the same wavelength. I don't want to talk about nude scenes, at all. I tried to explain using an instance you brought up that wasn't gratuitous, and you just thought I was talking about tits, so I'm disappointed with myself that I failed to communicate. It also disappoints me you didn't try to understand the point I was making to the OP, my fault again.

There has to be romance (or a form of love/relationship, maybe family etc.) to get me engaged in a story. Love is part of our souls - it has to exist to give meaning, purpose and warmth to the protagonists. I find it harder to get involved when there's just a character on a mission, doing stuff, overcoming personal struggles etc. but... it depends. So even sans typical romance themes, the best films have it in some form or another - everyone could have a different interpretation of romance... I don't know if you've seen Moon by Duncan Jones, it has no 'romance' but the protagonist has a wife and daughter and they play a role in the narrative. So when I think of romance it's a very wide spectrum for me. Another example is Safe, starring Jason Statham - one of the best action films I've seen, no 'romance' but he's motivated by the inexplicable urge to protect a child, it changes the dynamic completely.

Dramas without such connections feel like something's missing - Stove League's an example - great story, but a triumph that left me feeling empty, a hollow victory if you like, week in, week out, never really gratifying, then it ended.

I think I had a point when I started, I can't remember what it was now, I digressed.

The scene where Mr Ji floats in space whilst echoes from his past play out. It was the first time I've seen the experience illustrated in such an effective way, it was poignant.

You mean Oasis, I agree - I can't watch stuff like that unless I'm in the right mood - it's going to be frustrating, I also am watching for the cast.

Crash Course in Romance.

Are you looking down on drama fans? I can't scroll all the comments into view, I think I saw one where you explained your position. I don't think I share your view though.

Nobody said ugly, except for you. You're the first. Freudian slip? Everything else has been said, even though you didn't understand it, no point repeating it.
Why are you so mad, is it narcissistic rage?

No, I've stated her character's age was late 30s
