This show started off well but soon descended into the realm of ridiculous. Not supernatural but just plain ridiculous. Lee Bo Young and Cho Seung Woo in one show is a rare delight but even they don't help much.
This show was quite entertaining and fun to watch most of the time. But they could have used the eagles early in the show, if you know what I mean. Unfortunately, that would make it a rather short show.
i just saw this is on my netflix, should i watch? 👁 👁
If you are ready for loads of exaggerated acting, low-budget production, completely unrealistic situations and very dated look, then perhaps you should go for it. Despite all this I somehow enjoyed the show to a certain extent, because they never really take themselves too seriously and that adds some sort of a genuine, if I may say so, feel and always helps me overlook some flaws. By about episode 22 (Netflix count), however, I got tired and completed the show at 1.5x, also skipping quite large portions of the last five or so episodes.
This looks like a student project to complete an assignment. It's short, so I thought "OK why not" and watched it. And did enjoy it well enough. The evil dad, step dad, granpa or watever was very funny :)
I don't hate-watch—life is too short for that. I hate-recap-read dramas that are too frustrating to continue but still make me curious enough to know how it all develops and ends. By the time I switch to recap reading, I'm usually familiar enough with the characters to see everything playing out in my mind as if I'm watching for real, so it's a win-win situation. I both finish the frustrating drama and save loads of time.
You basically summed up my feelings. At first it was really good. And then, all of a sudden, it was something else. My forehead is still sore from more than one facepalm.
I have yet to see a white actor in a Korean drama without me cringing at their acting. Where do they, I mean producers, even find such amateurs? Do they take them off the street? Not that the roles they are usually given help them much, poor souls.
I've had this drama on my watchlist since before it's release. But after reading some of the reviews I'm now having second thoughts. Perhaps it's best to drop it before I even start.
Oh!And I have also the "rewatch" disease. When I really like something, I can rewatch it endlessly.
I have the rewatch disease, too.
That's why I actually hate when shows have multiple seasons. I prefer one good season and then multiple rewatches, each one revealing more and more details to enjoy and relish. Or the same great details, already seen and noticed, to enjoy and relish more and more each time.
And then when you get to the point where you know ahead each line a character is about to say and yet you are not tired of the story, then you know the story is truly good and well-told.
I have another kind of dropping disease, or rather put-on-hold disease. If I like a drama too much and I'm in risk of binge watching I put it on hold to cool down a little, because I rarely have time to watch something for 5, 6 or more hours straight. It also happens when any building tension is just too much for me to handle.
I then return to such dramas, sometimes a week later, sometimes a month later, sometimes a year later and sometimes only when forced by Netflix removals.
As for the original dropping disease, I do sometimes drop dramas for good. Mostly when I no longer care or am interested and the storytelling is bad.
I'm on episode 7 of this drama and quite enjoying it, but they lost me at Kiiv Opera in Russia. Even went to Google to check if I'm missing something.
Kang So Ra's delivery of Russian in early episodes, though, was good. At least I could understand most of what she was saying, unlike the Russian I had heard in a couple of other dramas before.
My first encounter with K-Dramas was back in 2007 or thereabouts. I remember watching one modern drama and one historical drama on arirang, but don't remember much from either of those, or even their titles.
Then, some years later, Asian content started popping up on YouTube. Back then I was watching anything Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice related I could only get my hands on. That's how the K-Drama with the same title was suggested to me: a small pirated version, fresh on air. Got me hooked instantly. But only the arrival of Netflix to my country opened up a wide selection of Korean dramas and since then I've been gobbling them up in earnest.
