spoiler question What’s eun ni power? she has two powers???
Well, she teleports (because she got exposed to the chemical in the dump), and her heart restarts because she got the heart from the Eternal Child (the only "successful" experiment in Han-Do's mind). The reason she gets his heart is because the Eternal Child gets irreversible brain damage (loses brain tissue) so even though he's not dead he can't return to normal (despite having this heart) for kind of a fluke reason. So they give Chae Ni his heart because he's basically a vegetable and she was dying from a bad heart.
This drama has a very special place in my heart but I won't watch again, the tears are enough please..
How does it feel compared to My Mister (have you seen that?)?
This is by the same screenwriter, and that is a drama I'll never watch again even though it was very good. Hard to say I enjoyed it, though. It's the kind of drama where I get why people liked it, but it wasn't my thing.
On ep 4So grandma was in on the horrible experiments? And is her maybe granddaughter the eternity one?Well all…
I'd have to rewatch to say more clearly how involved/in the know the Grandma was. She funded the experiments, but we don't really know what for (someone suggested that maybe it was because she was desperate to find a cure for Chae Ni?); I am pretty confident, though, that she didn't know quite how bad they were. I imagine she never stepped foot in the lab and didn't really know the extent of the atrocities Han Do was committing. She just thought he was using them for his experiments, like case studies? That's tricky, though, because the kids never chose to be a part of them so already that's a major issue. It's clear she's had a lot of grief and heartache over it, but it doesn't mean what she did was not a bad thing or not a big deal.
It will explain how Chae Ni comes back to life. What it doesn't explain is why she was so sickly BEFORE she came back to life. You'll see what I mean as you keep watching.
I felt the same and put that in my review on https://www.dramaaddictscorner.com/post/wonderfools. Apparently only…
I took a peek at your blog and agree about Cha Eun Woo. (This part made me laugh: "However, the master of one face still needs some work, a lot of work. The camera is a friend to Cha Eun Woo, but a friend does not an actor make." 🤣).
He always works for me, somehow (and not just because he's pretty, but because he picks roles that allow him to be some version of himself), but he does rely on his angelic face to do most of his acting for him.
I think he just always feels like Eun Woo, whether he's doing a BTS video, a scene in a drama, an interview, or reality TV (not as far as morality or choices, but in demeanor and expression) so that I can never unsee "Eun Woo" no matter what role he plays. My theory is he's too worried about looking pretty, and he hasn't let himself go (this is the exact same thing I can never do whenever I've tried to act--I'm too self-conscious to lose myself in a role. 😅 But HE is Korea's "face genius," which allows him to get away with acting murder and still get hired 😅).
It's also useless to argue with people who are confident he can very much act (and I mean, he CAN act, just not with the range I think someone landing these roles should be expected to showcase).
I really liked your comparison to JOL - absolutely accurate.Li Chun Gang was really the GOAT for his character…
Thank you! 😉
Yes, he did a good job making it dubious whose side he was really on the whole time, which added an element of suspense to his character. When the moment of truth arrived, he stuck to Fengnian like glue and stayed by his side; it made me so happy.
Having him with Fengnian the whole journey took away some of the suspense that could have been formed around Fengnian's vulnerability due to his lack of martial arts, but it was offset by not knowing who Chun Gang was really working for, and it kept you guessing if he'd ever just leave or betray Fengnian. I hadn't realized how much that undertone of ambiguity had built up tension for me in the watch (until they tried to lure him away from Fengnian, and then I was like, "Noo, don't doooo iiiitttt, Chun Gang!" I didn't realize how invested I was in him being Fengnian's trustworthy ally until that moment 😅).
Usually male actors use the military as their way to escape a scandal and let things blow over (I bet agencies…
"Media persona" is a good way of putting it. That's exactly what we see--a persona! Whether it's in an interview, a BTS video, a movie they're in, a drama or their social media profile--they're all personas!!
I think Hunger Games did such a great job showcasing how interviews are actors acting, too (and they're edited; any kind of editing being involved means that whoever's producing the interview is telling their own story with the interview, and portraying people the way they want (just like how journalists can twist evidence and interviews, too)).
Even YouTubers and Influencers who talk at a screen are personas, even though they seem so "real." I just always keep in mind that we're seeing these people in a vacuum and have no context of their actual lives to compare their words and personas to.
