I think I might start this drama tmrw... Is it still going strong at the halfway point?
Yes as two people have said so far gets better and better if that’s even possible. The sad scenes are so sensitively handled. And the FL hits all the right notes. Not too maudlin, just perfection.
You know what, this was directed and produced really well. The small details were handled beautifully too. They…
Whoever edited this is a genius. Camera angles, steady camera, sometimes a shaky camera, a scene that’s off kilter, different angles of same scene, different atmosphere (I don’t know all the terms)….all to match the mood of the story (music is also excellent where mood is concerned) you could watch POJ just for the camera work without dialogue. Every scene is a beautiful picture. It’s truly an amazing work of art. Sensitively done. I’ve said before, I’m in awe. I’m def going to watch it again. Whoever is behind this movie did everything right. Everyone must be so proud.
So for those of us who are understanding maybe like 40-50% of the political stuff - is there a place we can go…
Yes I was also wondering if there was some episodic synopsis anywhere. I’m going to already have to write down names and who they are bc these names are not easy for me to keep straight. Let alone who’s with what faction.
I continue to be in awe of this drama. Ep 13 I believe: half the episode was drawing couplets and painting. Leaving aside an amazing warrior who is also poetic and artistic (and beyond handsome), but half an episode on what is basically a poetry/cultural lesson? The Oscars are coming up this weekend. Can anyone imagine a HW drama infused w that much culture? No? Haha. And the neighbors lining up w gifts and wanting a banner for their homes. Whoever adapted this/planned this/cast and wrote this—what talent. And the cinematography and lighting is perfect, every scene is a painting and especially during the fireworks, the lighting on ML face. I’m only on ep 15 but just wow. I’ll be watching everything the ML is in now. The cast is perfection, as is the OST. By the way i Love the aunt and uncle, especially the uncle. He has such a lovely laugh and cute rapport w the wife. Nothing better happen to them.
Yes, that is wonderful, unlike many K and Jdramas where you forget what happened the week before when they drop…
Yes I love JKY as well!! I agree, even when his drama is bad it’s ok. Atypical family was quite interesting as was his turn in My Mister, so against type.
I have an aversion to "strong woman" FL's. But I find it really easy to watch when this FL does it, she…
exactly. Drives me crazy the way some of these FLs treat the guy and the guy just takes it, I want them to just walk away and find someone who appreciates them instead of acting like a wimp.
I watched Shine on me and fell so hard for Song but now Zhang is here! These two can't seem to leave me alone…
Include the ML in Love Between the lines and we have a perfect trio but I have to say Zhang takes a slight lead right now....I'm a sucker for that hair.
2 eps / day . Next week gonna be our drought week with only 1 ep / day 🥺
True but better than K and J dramas that only do one a week, by which time one loses momentum and memory of what's going on. It's my pet peeve. I love that so many C dramas drop them quickly.
ML and FL are both beyond talented but you could also say that for the entire cast. Casting was perfect.
