I was going to make a similar comment. I think with the huge success of The Walking Dead, zombies was a genre…
I think they were smart to make it a saeguk. From seeing the trailer it comes off as being some type of Korean folklore. Not a genre I can deal with it, but it does seem like it will be really good.
I'll agree with you that the lack of vampire stories in media from Asian countries lies with a cultural context,…
I was going to make a similar comment. I think with the huge success of The Walking Dead, zombies was a genre that wasn't too hard to sell to Eastern audiences. But still it only does well in feature length form.
I didn't read past the intro cause I had no idea this drama was in existence and I just want to go into it completely fresh, but your intro paragraph was so wonderfully written I can just imagine how the rest was. Thank you for the introduction. I'll be checking this out.
It seems like they borrowed the setting of Nanaki Village in the anime "Mayioga" to start things, lol. It's definitely a fun watch. My first time seeing Se Chan's hyung in anything. He's naturally funny.
I'm guessing it's probably because of the end goal of the show. What happens in the show determines when it will end. I won't say anything else. I'm 3 episodes in and I'm enjoying it so far. It keeps me laughing.
I haven't decided if I enjoy watching it or not, but I think it's definitely an intriguing story with lots of crooks and crannies. This is one of those "real" stories that reveals all the gray areas that exist within most people's relationships with one another. I think Seo In Guk was the perfect actor to portray Moo Young. All of them are doing a great job.
I can say there isn't one character that I like. Not even the doctor or Cho Rong. Just none of them, and it works for me. I like shows like this with depth.
I still dont get it....As the article says she is billionare so WHY did she not pay taxes??? I totally dont undertand…
People don't understand this until they start making even just $100,000 and up. If you started life in a wealthy family, it's just normal for you to pay whatever percentage you need to pay. But when you come from making less money to more, you can see and feel the major difference in what you pay. It no longer feels like just a percentage. It starts to just look like the chunk of what you worked to earn that you have to give away and how much of it you get to keep.
I think this is something a lot of people don't get about rich people until they possibly become rich. It starts to feel unfair that at one point,you were paying maybe just a mere $5,000 /yr in taxes. Next thing you know, you have to pay $129 million. The thought process is, why am I being punished for being successful in making money? Why can't I just pay a flat amount instead of it being based off how much I make?
I know some people who have gone from just decent to big bucks. I've watched this play out with them. They'd be the loudest among those complaining about how wealthy people need to pay more, but now they complain about how much more they pay.
LoL! The wrists! I believe they have a specific class for male actors on this when they go to school for acting. It's not even an elective, mandatory. XD
And surprisingly, those U-turns aren't illegal. Learned this on my first trip to Seoul. There are actually markings on the road designating intersections/lanes where they can be made. Streets there typically have bus lanes in the middle of the two directions of traffic, or just even a long divider, so it can be a while before you could make a left turn missing a bunch of side streets. This more unfortunate for people like me who were always on foot. :*-(
One major mistake I noticed was that no smoke came out of the boxes when Fu Yao touched the mystical leaf to see…
Girl, it's just continuity issues. That's it, lol. I've noticed so many of them throughout the episodes. I've just gotten used to them. They get sloppier with some things as the episodes go on.

If only Viki had professional and reliable subs.
