Youād think that it is a given, if there is going to be a s2 of a kdrama (that is the continuation of the same story, especially if itās based on an existing material to the screenwriter isnāt coming up with a new story) that the main character would be there! (Since season 2 of this was announced way before) But apparently notā¦
It always amuses me a little when an actor plays a character with the same name as them, like what do you mean Byun Yo Han is playing Yo Han? š Because sometimes it feels like they were too lazy to come of with a name and just went with the actorās name instead (though, I am aware that this particular film is based on a novel so this characterās name was most likely established way before the cast was!).
It will be interesting to see how he portrays a deaf character. I'm assuming sign language will be used, like…
May be, though based on the script reading video he seems to have a lot of speaking parts too, and based on the fact that his character became hearing impaired later in life, he might continue speaking as ānormalā. Though I hope some sign language will be used too.
plus the synopsis literally says Ha Ran will be his "savior"
That part actually might depend on the translation of the synopsis and the site youāre looking at. Someone posted (on this dramas page here on mdl) another synopsis of the drama from another site and they didnāt use that wording, it was a bit different in general too.
i'm wondering too. do we know if the ml fully lost his hearing or if he'll be wearing a hearing device or something?
From the script reading he seems to have a lot of speaking parts. As to his hearing loss, itās a very broad spectrum, some people use hearing devices and still prefer to use sign language or even with the device their hearing is very poor, some people donāt use any devices but still can hear a bit etc. Iām not an expert on this, so I have no idea how it might be portrayed in this drama.
I just hope that he is speaking, at least if he lost his hearing recently. I love the use of sign language, but…
From the script reading he seems to have a lot of speaking parts. I agree with what you say, at the same time I hope there will be some sign language present too.
