It is not random, because this drama is a story that takes place in Japan, and the question was how the cast was chosen. I am not a troll. I must be because I am disagreeing? That is so typical, either misinformed or a troll.
This corresponds to the worldview that anyone who has a different opinion is misinformed/uneducated/evil. Maybe you just have to acknowledge that not everything that is well-intentioned is also useful/effective. And perhaps some of the well-intentioned measures go beyond the good and create new problems because they are about ideology and not about realities. How much paternalism is tolerable and when does it reach a level that is no longer acceptable? Casting Pokahontas with a white actress is cultural appropriation, casting the British Queen with a black actress is not. Netflix is allowed to do this because it makes more money. Let's face the reality, it's not about justice, it's about power aka money.
Nekokaburi is not wrong. Ideology is a private matter and has no place in the working environment or in art. Politics must not be allowed to influence art. We have seen often enough where this leads. Even in the 3rd Reich, Karl Ritter and Leni Riefenstahl packaged propaganda in an easily digestible way. I see similar tendencies to occupy positions ideologically, be it in science, politics or art. I find this dangerous, especially when supposed moral superiority is the deciding factor and seems to give the right to supress different opinions.
Call me a coward, I've watched up to episode 10 and now I'm waiting until the last episode is released. Then I'll start all over again and gonna binchwatch everything at once. I feel a bit like a kid before Christmas.
The only solution I can see is the following: The Grand Prince dies, the Queen Dowager is blamed for his death, Mongwoo dies and Kang Hee Soo returns from captivity with her father and is officially married to the King.
So exciting, I can't wait to see which direction the drama takes. At the moment, I can't imagine how a happy ending is possible. The three main actors do a great job.
I am a little bit surprised that I like this CDrama so much. Usually I am not a big fan of CDramas due to rhe involved propaganda. Finally a leading actress who doesn't behave like an idiot. A thoroughly believable and funny plot. I've just watched ep. 21. I hope it continues like this.
I have watched many Chinese dramas that have more propaganda than this. But as with other smear attacks on Only…
Yes, it is the job of a reporter to interview, but it is not necessary to present this in full length in a narrative. A good story is characterized by omitting what is not relevant to the development of the story or at least including irrelevant things in an interesting way. It's okay if we have different opinions about what is interesting and what is not. I also find primitive propaganda amusing. But in this drama, it's just boring. When it's boring, it misses its target to connect positively and that's why I think it's badly done. The portrayal of journalistic work in "All the President's Men" with Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman is well done, this movie won 4 Oscars. In the vast majority of CDramas, you notice exactly where the censor has intervened to lecture the viewer, it becomes very stiff and instructive, the only thing missing is the actors clicking their heels together and saluting. If it's propaganda, then please make it entertaining. But these works are not made for me, they are obviously mainly made for their own people.
Loving it so far! I think the villains are well developed and convincing. I like that each one has a few habits and little quirks that make the character seem very alive. For me, everything in the story fits together well so far. I like the fact that FL is developing in a way that ties in credibly with her experiences. I hope it continues like this.
