I mean the noona romance is a side plot, I don't think it matters much overall here lol
Yes it’s a side plot but her character looks designed to do only two things bicker with the old lady and drool over that aggressive young man. A Single woman in her 40 should have better things to do…
EunSeol isn’t the usual doormat and that is a good piece of news but she is a bit reckless in her investigation. That SeokJin guy is very annoying and his project to marry HaeRa shows his character and how bad he is deep down. ….not a supporter of that noona romance between the brother and the lawyer’s sister
This is literally a romance/thriller/mystery subgenre. And maybe you don't watch a lot of her projects to comment…
Nice try but I have seen many of her projects …more than your little little list and still find her bad when she needs to convey some type of feelings.
He might be now around 1m68-70 max. Korean actresses are mostly around 1m65 and some ar even taller. Lead men…
Yes it’s unfortunate. The industry seems quite severe with criteria related to beauty/size/weight for leads. Kim Hyeyoon still managed to overcome the few centimeters she was missing
I believe her loss is just MuJin…she was drunk she crossed path “someone that looks like him”, she missed…
Maybe a scene is missing…I don’t recall that. In her short dream around 20 minutes in she is just crying and holding her baby and the sound is music I personally couldn’t hear an heart monitor.
His career should be bigger than it is now. He's proven himself over and over from a very young age. Fingers crossed…
He might be now around 1m68-70 max. Korean actresses are mostly around 1m65 and some ar even taller. Lead men are 1m75 for the shortest ones and many big names are above 1m80. The man is too small and it is something that is very frequent for child actors. They look small and cute young that allow them to get a bunch of parts where they play younger characters that they actually are but if they remain small adults they don’t get the huge career. I believe it’s why he has done his military service so young instead of delaying until 30 like the most successful male adult actors. He is 24 and still playing teenagers and don’t recall him playing at least one adult
In Korean culture yes male eldest child had up to like early 90s the primogeniture right meaning he is the heir,…
Unfortunately divorce laws in Korea aren’t in favor of women and joint custody isn’t a thing in Korea. By law child’s above 13 must be consulted. the father is Korea holds such authority, power and influence I doubt it’s made in circumstances where the child can express freely what he/her wants.
Gyurim woke up from her drunkenness and had a naggy feeling that she lost something. Just before Gyurim woke up…
I believe her loss is just MuJin…she was drunk she crossed path “someone that looks like him”, she missed him even more than usual and that memory y her back to the most mixed and painful memories of her life giving birth alone to his son… It was I understood from those 2 episodes
It looks like, feels like, and sounds like the old weekday dramas. And it looks like it was taped then broadcast.…
??? Are you discovering family dramas? I believe since early 2000s they are aired on weekend days and are longer than regular dramas. What do you mean by tapped? I don’t think they ever had live drama in Korea. I wonder if you are talking about the inside scenes, the parts that are filmed in KBS studios…
Btw, can we talk about what bio mom told Gyu Rim? Like, is it to be expected in their culture just because she's…
In Korean culture yes male eldest child had up to like early 90s the primogeniture right meaning he is the heir, have a bigger share of the inheritance . It’s now over but KDramas love to entertain that thing. Is also expected for the eldest daughter to be in charge of the younger siblings and some rituals Kids in Korea are registered under the father’s lineage so the mother doesn’t have the priority in case of divorce to get the kids especially the elder still seen as “more valuable”
It had some potential but they ruined with some incoherences in the writing and the execution. It also felt like there were one writer to supervised the script for A to Z - the beginning is very slowmo with lot of flashbacks and empty lengthy gaze from the leads …but throughout the production they changed style and surely the photo director because there is absolutely no consistency whatsoever and normally you make a style book or mood book with the expectations (kind of light, kind of colours, kind of transitions, kind of shoots, kind of camera lenses…) so the technicians can change for each episode without losing the essence, the predetermined identity of the drama. - second female lead was mean but suddenly decided to be human without a real explanation for the change, it was an arranged marriage and suddenly she wanted love from him…and she never executed her own revenge either… - the 2 women start by hating each other from the get go but we don’t have a real back story aside the fact they are both from Busan to explain it so it felt very weird. - the female lead was supposed to be from Busan same as her best friend, her best friend’s brother, the second female lead…but only two had the accents only the second female lead has a legit reason for not having it anymore she is a tv anchor …that is so lazy from the production because that Busan accent is so recognizable and I believe it take years to lose. - the second male lead’s motivation didn’t add up a minute how did he knew with any kind of tests and medical data she was a matching donor? Lot of mess - the male lead’s love at first sight didn’t felt genuine but fake and so superficial and because those first episodes are so badly filmed, directed, edited and didn’t convey that striking connection they were supposed to immediately have. - the stylish that pick up that awful red dress …seriously must have been blind. The fit was poor at all level (bust, length…), the fabric so cheap looking like $5 Temu evening gown and and underdress at knee level for a long lace dress such a fashion disgust and lack of taste…10 years in jail for that person!!! Handmaid shoes and she broke the heels the first night? …sorry that Temu shoe too! - The second male’s motives didn’t add up a second. How without tests and medical records he knew she was a viable donors? So lot of mess for a kidney that can be a no match. Lot of mess. when he could have just kidnapped her a few hours and stole the kidney like everybody in his right crazy mind would have done! - the writer(s) need to learn the definition of evidence because the case had none, not even circumstantials so how the man could have done 2 years in jail based upon one invoice and a picture taking from the street - I would never understand those plots where a woman to take revenge h as to marry with the person she hates the most… personally I would never sleep with someone who has killed my father, my sister or my dog but that’s just me apparently. - female is described as “smart” she wasn’t she believed anything with proper evidence, she starts a revenge journey on a whim and sacrificed herself for nothing
But on the positive note Lee MinJun could bother to do the Busan accent but her Italian was good. There is one good twist I was hoping for it and I was happy they did it. It’s an easy watch I binge thst thing in one go even if it wasn’t very smart it keep me engaged until the end.
But this will be a thriller drama not a romcom, but even if it was a romcom she can pull off a comedy role and…
I don’t recall her being funny on Nokdu. She male lead was but she pissed all the time…I have no recollection of what her face looks like when she smiles. I never said romcom which for me isn’t even a proper term for KDramas… That drama has also too many labels in term of genre to be certain now without a trailer about the real major style for now…MBC outside their makjangs does more romances than any other style since they stopped doing the big sageuks like before. Based on the network and what I have read about that drama for me that it’s is in the same category as When the phone rings…mostly a romance with a little hint of dark atmosphere
This looks like it will be thriller/melo, not romcom, so you seem confused.
Maybe. I’ve seen somewhere else romance and that she will form a couple with Song Kang. As it’s on MBC too…I still wonder what it’s the dominant genre of the drama. What I wish for her it is to play the mean stiff woman and don’t form on screen couple as it is blatant for me that she is uncomfortable in those couple situations and she doesn’t portrait them very well.
That SeokJin guy is very annoying and his project to marry HaeRa shows his character and how bad he is deep down.
