This is one deserves the number 1 spot in my favorite k-drama list. If you want a great drama watching experience please do not skip on this one, you won't regret it, promise!
He's one of my favorite k-drama actors. I hope he gets another action-packed and historical drama in the future because that is where he shines the most.
This drama deserves a higher rating compare to those romantic cheesy dramas that came before them this year. The character of Geum Ja who's always one step ahead against her opponents are one of the reasons why this drama deserves a higher score. You often see a feisty character in a kdrama being portrayed by heroines that when it comes to love they lose focus and became suddenly wimpy but not with this heroine, her badass character all throughout the series is such a breath of fresh.
I am really a fan of Asian dramas and has a lot of Korean titles that I've finished in 2-3 days time. I was able to finished Cloy in one week because I lost interest halfway through and what made me finished it are the subplots about the ajumma's in the village, the comrades of the hero and the secondary characters' love story. I gave this drama an 8.5 rating over 10 because of acting and deducted 1.5 for some cheesy lines in this drama.
I've been binge watching Bong Jong Ho's films since Parasite and this talented director never disappoints especially with this classic movie. No wonder Quentin Tarantino put this movie as one of his faves.
Believe me this movie will resonate with you after watching it. The pacing, acting and plot twist will leave you breathless. This movie won't win the coveted Palmes D'or, Bafta, Golden Globes, Critics Choice and Oscars if the movie is not that great. You'll be missing a lot if you do not experience watching such masterpiece once in your life!
He will always be Xu Feng of Heavy Sweetness Ash Like Frost to me. I hope he makes another drama with Yang Zi as they have a very explosive onscreen chemistry same level with Yang Mi and Mark Chao in TMOPB.
He became my number one favorite actor in the world after watching his classic dramas like Love Vacation, Pride, Good Luck!, A Million Stars Fall From The Sky, Love Generation, Sleeping Forest and many more. He's very talented, good looking and charismatic that his presence alone can make any ordinary Japanese drama special!
