Let's not compare Lovely Runner with Tangerines. They're not even in the same league. One is a masterpiece and…
Just because his drama was popular has nothing to do with his acting. That was my point. Tangerines won best drama, not to mention IU won best actress as well. LR was nominated because it was popular; hence, it's not the same league and a good fit for comparison for acting.
"Lovely Runner" was one of the worst-written Kdrama of all time. I know fans never gonna accept this, because most romcom fans only care about the romance and not the story, so I don't really care. Most fans give it a free pass because of the cute romance. That was the only thing that was working fine in that show.
Like I said, if people want to defend the guy and talk about his acting they can mention better roles where he actually did something other than being a visual.
I'm never going to understand why people who don't know anything about filmmaking talk about acting, directing, cinematography, etc.
I don't care why you watch something or who your favorite actor is, but don't talk about acting if you don't know how it works. If you're interested, I can tell you how it works, because I actually work in this industry, so please pay attention.
Actors are basically puppets. Not many of them can or are allowed to improvise, let alone change a story. Acting, let's say, has 3 parts: the actors, the director, and the script itself.
Now, you can have Meryl Streep and Al Pacino in the cast, if the director or the writer is doing a bad job, they can't make the show any better. Byeon Woo Seok or even IU isn't an acting giant, there's a huge gap between them, that's for sure. IU is more experienced and versatile, but both are doing their best.
There's not much we can compare if you look at BWS's filmography, but I never thought for a second he was a good fit for romcoms. He's more of a typical villain type of guy. The cute romantic guy doesn't suit him. You can disagree, but IU has better chemistry with SML because he's more charismatic and has a better role too tbh.
As for IU, if you watched "My Mister", "Hotel del Luna" not to mention "Broker" or "Tangerines" you already know how she can act if she's working with a much better crew. This drama is basically "Hotel del Luna" beta with a less experienced crew.
As for the director and writer. The director made "Alchemy of Souls" and "Secretary Kim", I think that's enough to understand his capabilities as a director. He's not bad; he's not a top-tier director. He can make average but fun dramas. The writer is a rookie, she won a contest, and now she can make her first Kdrama. So far, she's doing a good job with the story, but because there are cringe scenes, many people won't like it. It was done intentionally like that, it's not about acting.
So, in short: You can dislike anything you want, but don't talk about acting when actors are only doing what they were told basically.
You can't really judge someone's acting skills based on a typical "brain-off" romcom drama. These dramas are not where actors can shine. These dramas are all about chemistry and visuals. Just like that poorly written "Lovely Runner" or "When The Phone Rings" was.
is no one going to talk about how ridiculous this disney filter/filming style is? prime is also ridiculously terrible,…
Disney has nothing to do with the directing or cinematography or any streaming platform, for that matter. Blame the Korean crew, the director, and the cinematographer if you don't like it. This is not even a Disney+ Kdrama it was made by MBC. It's literally in the credits.😂
As for the director, it was made by the same guy who made "Alchemy of Souls", you know, the drama you rated 8.5/10.
Never gonna understand why people talking about things they don't even understand.
I haven't started my watch of this yet because I'm still watching a few other dramas I want to finish first. But…
Let's not compare Lovely Runner with Tangerines. They're not even in the same league. One is a masterpiece and top-tier acting class with an amazing story, and LR is just another overhyped, bang-average cute romcom with really bad and inconsistent writing. It's not his fault, but it's not like he was Al Pacino in that role.
If anything, he was much better in Namsoon. This cute boy doesn't suit him. He's the type of man who you can cast for a villain role.
I agree with you but at the same time, it makes sense for both the FL and ML to be rather entitled.
I think you mistook rich idiots and rich people who are acting like idiots but are actually smart. For example, I hate Elon Musk as much as anyone with a brain, but he's not stupid.
As for her company. Sure, it's part of the Castle Group, but she said it herself in the 1st EP to her employees: they can throw out everything because they were 2nd not 1st and it's her money, so even if her company goes bankrupt, it won't affect the Group itself because no sane person would do such a thing. A proper CEO would do anything to maintain the balance even if they were only 2nd.
I agree with you but at the same time, it makes sense for both the FL and ML to be rather entitled.
I'm not saying they will lose all their money, but just because they're rich doesn't mean they can make everything successful. Her dad would remove her from that building if she couldn't manage the company.
Also, she said it herself, she's gonna lose money, she doesn't care if they burn some products; it's her money, so her company is probably not strongly related to her dad's.
She is privileged, but she's also hardworking and smart. Even if people are rich as hell, they can lose money if they're dumb. The people you mention didn't lose their money because they're either smart enough or have smart people around them.
If you give a banana to a monkey, he's not gonna sell it, he's going to eat it.
I agree with you but at the same time, it makes sense for both the FL and ML to be rather entitled.
Like I said, you have a point, but we could say if a millionaire promotes an athlete, is it privilege, or did they achieve it because they worked hard?
I mean, she could've just done whatever her dad wants and enjoyed life, but she probably chose to run another company, unlike her brother.
Not sure if her company is part of her dad's, but I think so, but it's still run by her.
As I said already, she has the privilege, but you can give money to an idiot, and they would never run a company; they would spend the money in Las Vegas, probably. 😂 If you don't work hard, privilege can't give you much long-term. Not on the business side at least.
I agree with you but at the same time, it makes sense for both the FL and ML to be rather entitled.
Okay, but you said without her dad she couldn't have a big company or finish a school like that. I mean, technically you may be right, because poor people can't have a chance in these prestigious schools, but based on their skills, they could be, and she has all the skills needed.
I don't think she looks down on her employees; she's just pushing them, and she's a typical Kdrama CEO. A hardass. That's nothing new. I worked for much worse people. Also, she loves her assistant or whatever she is. That's pretty clear because they talk like friends. She's probably her only friend.
A boss like her exists in real life too, so I'm not fussed about that. It's pretty realistic.
I don't disagree about the average entertainment. If they won't mess this up, this can be a nice "brain-off" fun ride. Just like the directors' other works, "Alchemy of Souls" or "Secretary Kim."
The problem is that most people won't like the cringe parts even if they use it purposefully as a mask.
this is not a simple college drama that he can easily accept. after seeing so many period dramas i understand…
I was sarcastic, but let's not act as if he were thinking so hard. It was more like he was just messing with her. Trust me, no one would give a damn who he wants to marry. The whole royal family is like a tourist attraction basically. They have no power; at least we didn't see anything like that. They're basically like any other celeb but richer and live in a palace. 😂
Also, he can't be a King, so it doesn't really matter who Huiju is. He only asked for the veto because he knew the Queen Mother would pick someone who could be her ally. That's why he asked Huiju if she could fight with the Queen. I'm pretty sure he asked that.
Romantic inclination doesn't matter. Royal family members don't get married for love. That's just fantasy. 😅
We all know what's gonna happen; this is a typical romcom. They're gonna fall in love, have children, and become the new King and Queen. 😂
I agree with you but at the same time, it makes sense for both the FL and ML to be rather entitled.
It's pretty easy to tell they don't want to be more powerful because they want more money. They want more power, especially Huiju, so she can be free from her dad.
Just because you have a rich family doesn't mean you can run a company, btw. That's such a shallow way to look at it. I mean, for the love of God, just look at her brother. He's an absolute joke. He couldn't run a company even if it runs itself. 😂
Don't downplay her hard work. Not to mention, most people look down on her because she's an illegitimate child. So, it's not like she got it all on a silver plate.
Tbh, I don't think either of them wants to be a King or a part of a rich family. Especially the guy, because the royal family is useless. Like, they don't have any power. At least it doesn't seem like it.
The ML is doing a decent job, but IU is definitely better with face acting. You can tell when she's done with the cringe nonsense; the mask is off instantly. Actors can only do certain things. I'd say a performance is 70% about the script itself and the directing.
Her acting in "Tangerines" and here is totally different, and that's mainly about the script and the director. The guy directed "Alchemy of Souls" and "Secretary Kim". I think I said enough. Both are fun, nothing more. 😅
Why ML has to be a regent here? Can't empress herself go with her child everywhere? Even in historical drama we…
That usually happens if there's no other guy in the picture, and here SFL is probably just the wife of the King and not the daughter of the King before her husband. So, that means the real regent has to be ML.
The guy rejected Huiju like 50 times. I'm like: "Piss off already. Who do you think you are? Dude, you're lucky you're a prince, because she would've unalived you after the 2nd."
I know fans are shipping hard, but I'd love it if there were zero love, only use his royal status. That would be so realistic. Imagine the uproar.😂
Not gonna lie, IU has better chemistry with Steve Noh. I already hate the love triangle, btw.
Guys, I found Song Joongki's sister! It's Lee Yeon.😂https://i.imgur.com/ljoTEW1.png
As for the drama itself. The first 2 episodes were entertaining, but I get why some people can't handle the cringe parts of it. There are only a handful of actors who can make me tolerate cringe scenes, and one of them is IU. To be fair, it's cringe on purpose, so it's not like they're doing a bad job. It's pretty easy to tell, it's just a mask
All I can say is, if you loved "Hotel del Luna", you're going to love Perfect Crown. This is basically HDL mixed with the Korean "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement." 😂
Don't expect an overcomplicated story, and if they won't mess this up later, it can be a good guilty pleasure and fun.
I wish my bank account balance would grow as fast as haters writing "reviews" on MDL after the 1st episode. 😂
It's so funny people hating on it saying it's cringe, childish etc and the same people hyping up the same old copy and paste romcoms. I don't even want to mention names because there's like 500 romcoms.💀
Nana is from After School and y'all surprised she's doing gay sex scenes? This is the 21st century, not the 18th. I don't really care about the show, but I'm so done with the hypocritical and homophobic people.
All of you drool over your monitors or TVs if you see a pretty boy and a girl just baby kissing each other, but you can't handle sex scenes, nude scenes, or gay people.
This screams: "I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE STORY; I JUST WANT TO SEE PRETTY BOYS AND GIRLS KISS EACH OTHER!" 🤣
It's a well-made 7/10 drama. Nothing over the top, but a nice slice of life romcom. The only problem is that they had too many plot lines and they barely did anything with most of it. It was really just playing safe.
I don't think it's your typical cutesy romcom that most Kdrama fans want or love. It's more mature but not as well written as "Love Scout" for example.
I hate this too, but honestly, I'm more "afraid" a certain fandom will barge in and "review" bomb…
OScar has been a kids' show for at least a whole decade. That's why they're inviting Kpop Idols now because they need more views. Literally no one takes the Oscars seriously anymore.
IU doesn't have the acting chops? Her latest drama is literally the most successful drama in history and won the best actress for it. Jiwon have her own dram, go watch that when it's out and stop talking shit.
I'm not wasting more time on a dumbass troll. Go play in kindergarten. You just proved my point.
