To the first question... yes, it's their story. Maybe they'll get the wrong idea about each other and things will cool for a while though. We'll all probably get the wrong idea and shout at the TV! 🤬

2nd point, after watching this drama I sympathise a lot more with HSH than I used to. My bad.

I love it. So many things going on. The showbiz mum is fascinating, I feel like I'm watching the story of Han So-hee and probably many others who've been there. Stop!! That was just a glib and foolish comment, please don't take it seriously HSH fans.

It might be his (real) mother's father-in-law... or maybe there's an older brother of Jin-taek who's out of the picture now, deceased, awol, whatever - could he have been the handsome boyfriend in the US?... I don't know why but all this talk about heirs to the business has made me think that Pil-seung could become an heir.

If we see her as a 12 year old, it makes the whole thing thought provoking. The parents setting her up with a sexual partner, is the age of consent a physical or mental state? At her age she'd get the tingles from watching boy bands and so on, but that's about it. It's another factor that makes this drama unique and fascinating.

He's a lovely character, you'll like him. His acting is a little stiff to begin with, but the cast seems to have gelled now and they're all performing superbly and lifting each other.

Depends on the drama, it's not sudden, Empress-ki also has such a scene, is it 2013/14?

He's obsessive, it's intense. I don't think he's a rapist, but who knows what he's capable of. Those scenes are really worth watching, the acting is amazing.

I saw some posts about Gong Jin-dan earlier... This weekend, the scenes between him and Do-ra and him and her mother were incredible. He's a really good actor, those were top notch performances from all three, they don't get a lot of time to prepare scenes in these frantic weekend dramas, but I felt like I was watching something very expensive, and very well prepared, super quality, I lost myself in those moments.

You have to approach dramas like this in the same way as a jet-coaster ride. You prepare yourself for what's coming and enjoy going over the loops and descents at top speed, strap yourself in! 🎢

Btw, you'll be missing out on something, it starts tentatively, looks a bit cheap in places, but by 13/14 (this weekend) it's fully on its way. You could change your mind about Im Soo-hyang too, she's gone all-in, like her mum in this drama (sorry for the pun).

This drama is both fearless and fearsome, I haven't seen such a bold weekend drama. I think I know who Pil-seung's father is, assume I'm not the only one... if we're right, it's something to look forward to in a few months!

It's on Kocowa in the US. Netflix must have it elsewhere, maybe in Asia.

Wow, what a weekend it's been. Juicy stuff, and Im Soo-hyang's acting is out of this world, utterly brilliant. This drama's really packing a punch. My head's still spinning.

Sounds like she's just trying to make a living, nowhere near what you're talking about.

In my perception those were formulaic and artificial works - where the brief came before the idea. I said it was an unpopular opinion. Netflix, as an outsider, is cultivating talent from outside the mainstream and using its influence to inject them here and there in mainstream projects to inflate their profiles. Just my opinion. You can ignore me.

Maybe an evil Japanese vampire?

I wondered if Exhuma was political tbh. There seems to be two polarised views in SK on either side of the middle ground... pro Japan, anti North Korea... Or pro-reunification, anti-Japan. Maybe I'm just seeing things that aren't there in the odd dramas and films

Amazon Prime show Upload is on similar lines. If we were the ones left behind, would we buy into a fake version of our deceased loved ones? Probably not, but I believe it's possible to use the emotions to make a moving movie and turn it into something positive, the only red flag is that this film's been in the can for years. Also I'm not a fan of anthologies, which this appears to be.

I have an unpopular opinion. She gives me the impression of a bargain actor, a bit cheaper to hire.
Netflix studios has a handful of these on their books.
Netflix uses its power to help put such actors into other reputable productions, which increases their perceived market value. Then when they use them, we believe it's a 'great cast'.

Although it's not clear, the 'Netflix' actors (not in the old fashioned Hollywood studio sense, but something similar) are appearing in shows that would probably cast otherwise.

She can act well. To me, I classify the group as good, accomplished actors, best suited to supporting roles, that don't stand out from the crowd and don't create the excitement that the true big shots achieve.

Not sure I can envisage a rapport between these two, looks like a cat fight waiting to happen. Two female leads...

I'm attacking stupidity, not people with different taste. That's not you btw. I just vented on your comment.
Mian.

Yep, agree. Not even rational, just angry.
