I've never seen the original series, and I'm not particularly passionate about legal dramas, but both she and Lee Na-young are really strong incentives to follow this drama, and then there is the usual reference to situations from decades past, which is always a fascinating trope.Growing interest
I abandoned ‘Love In Contract’ because it seemed more like an exercise in (talented) style than an interesting story. Here, At least I hope so, there seems to be more substance as well as an excellent cast—I'm very curious about Park Hee Soon—so I hope for the best... She's not only obviously very skilled, but she's also absolutely gorgeous!Let's hope for a good project!
On the cultural channel ARTE.tv there is an interesting 30-minute short documentary on the Swiss locations of the drama... It follows the day of an American family who, like us, love the tv series and visit the famous venues (including the pier...) but we also observe the less than open-minded reaction of some residents, who are quite annoyed by the flow of tourists (especially post-covid) who are, according to them, not exactly "civilised" (the aforementioned tourists...) the international title of the doc is "Netflix Overtourism in Switzerland"
P.S. If I'm not mistaken, some locations have also been used in some episodes of "Running Man" filmed in Europe...
interesting and paranoid, although the trailer seems to foreshadow far too much about the development of the story; At my place, too, the old hag upstairs for a time made a noise in the night hours, but a very "civilized" confrontation at 4 a.m. put her back in line, no need for earplugs! However, lately Kang Ha Neul seems to be all over the place between dramas and movies, good for him, excellent actor decidedly versatile...
Commento ben accetto ^_^. Già, vorrei vedere altro con lei, soprattutto le opere post 2015 my venus ( in generale…
Capisco il discorso generazionale, anche per me è così, avendo un'età importante di solito uso la battuta di "Arma Letale" : "Sono troppo vecchio per queste [censura...]" e poi sì, il tempo davvero rema contro e oltretutto il MDL segue un po' il flusso delle nuove generazioni attoriali (e dei nuovi fans); Io sono sempre affezionato al taglio vintage degli anni d'oro dell'onda Coreana (le serie in stile Netflix hanno una fotografia fin troppo "laccata" e perfettina il più delle volte...), anche a livello di recensioni vado spesso sul passato, (e sfortunatamente sono troppo prolisso...); Comunque Shin Min Ah è un caso particolare, perchè fa quasi da ponte tra le generazioni di fans, vecchi e nuovi, oltretutto è parecchio amata in Italia e fortunatamente le sue serie sono praticamente tutte disponibili sottotitolate; Buona prosecuzione e alla prossima occasione!
Ciao, bentrovato! Stavo curiosando tra compleanni e recensioni e ho trovato questa tua che mi ha ricordato le stesse valutazioni fatte da me a suo tempo; E' un drama decisamente piacevole che effettivamente sconta proprio quel "low budget" al quale fai riferimento tu, che tende un po' a smorzare anche alcune caratterizzazioni e contestualizzazioni dei personaggi di contorno, ad esempio mi pare di ricordare il "cattivo" di turno, mezzo demone che per diversi episodi se ne stava un po' ai margini della storia a macchinare di suo, abbastanza bloccato anche nell'azione, mentre era piuttosto divertente il regista appassionato dei film di John Woo, in particolare del ciclo "A Better Tomorrow" (poi Sung Dong-Il è un attore notevolissimo!) così come il nonno, altro grande caratterista, purtroppo scomparso di recente (ma ti capiterà di rivederlo in tanti ottimi drama!). Ricordo un certo taglio fumettistico estremamente divertente, soprattutto nell'ottima chimica tra i due personaggi principali, che in alcune occasioni mi faceva venire in mente "Urusei yatsura", meglio conosciuto in Italia come "Lamu' e addirittura Lee Seung-Ki somiglia parecchio ad Ataru Moroboshi (pure i capelli!). Scusa se ho "invaso" la tua recensione, ogni tanto fa piacere anche scrivere in Italiano, e complimenti ancora, poi Shin Min Ah è davvero meravigliosa e spesso da sola vale la visione del film/drama; "Arang" e "Oh My Venus" ad esempio sono ottime, soprattutto la seconda (vado a memoria, eh!?), ma lei è presente anche in "Lucifer/ The Devil" che per me è un drama eccezionale! Salutoni!
Of course these teasers know how to build up suspense and interest; I'm hoping for a lot of moral implications as well, given the complex subject matter that seems to be emerging; Lee Bo Young is just in a different league 💖, absolutely stunning in every way, I can't wait!
Happy Birthday to our Goddess! 🎉🎂 I recently found out that you took part in the TV documentary “Massage Road” (which is also on YT) and that you also came to Europe, we hope to see you a soon as possible with the announced new projects! All the best and see you soon! 💖 🥰
If everyone owned a weapon!? It would also end up in South Korea like the U.S.A. perhaps!? Of course with all the repressed anger around, who knows about all the "possible fireworks"? Here in Italy it is legal to possess them, but there is a large grey area on the licences issued (hunting and sporting use, for example) there are many, over 8 million of them, and unfortunately we often read about them in the crime news... This drama promises to be decidedly interesting in terms of content, with my personal hope that it will also act as a deterrent for any eventual decision on the matter; I hate weapons and I hate violence, which I can only stand in fictional productions, in fact...
I added “My Girl”, where he is quite funny (but the whole cast is excellent in that good drama) and has some nice moments with Lee Da Hae, but yes, 1st "Flower Of Evil" where he is absolutely extraordinary in a role almost in the last David Cronenberg manner, then the excellent “Iljimae” where he also shows great versatility and then “Moon Lovers” where he makes his character “grow” as the story goes on... Great actor! Bravo!
Happy Birthday Jin Hee! 🎉 ‘Romance In The House’ was a bit of a let down for me at the end, but you and Kim Ji Soo are really worth watching! I got a bit bogged down on ‘The Road’ but with a better mood I'll pick it up again, promise! Anyway always so many good memories, thank you!
Definitely interesting as a story, fascinating temporal ambience (and finally no smartphones!) and with a very good cast of proven veterans (and some ugly mugs that remind me of certain Italian crime movies of the 70s) , most of the time these are the dramas that surprise me most positively, so good feelings!
She is all you need to arouse interest, amazing actress always and great teaser! 30 seconds but catches you immediately; Hoping that the creators do not stretch plots and subplots too much and concentrate all in a single season, but very good premises, absolutely!
On Avistaz they are uploading several rather old series that come from the KBS YouTube channel (which, specifically, seems to be pay-per-view); They are mainly historical in subject, but also more contemporary, there is even this ‘Years Of Ambition’ which is really interesting for its plot and -noteworthy- cast; however, they are without subtitles, so apart from those who master Korean, they are difficult to approach, which is a pity because it seems to be a really nice TV archive this KBS one...
To me it is recommended ‘Flower Of Evil’ which I adore and is one of my (few) 10 on my list and then ‘Lie After Lie’ which I have been meaning to see for a while and I think I will take the very welcome advice...
I'm pretty sure A Shop For Killiers is more part 1 and part 2 thing, than Western standard seasons. We saw how…
gramfer and ShortCircuit Ah see, I understood both of your references better, thank you! Considering those two dramas mentioned ("Moving" and "Shop for Killers") i more made an association (one plus one) in fear that they are already thinking of possibly lengthening the stories so they might eventually consider similar narrative escamotages, perhaps 8 plus 8 episodes However, it is the same old reasonings made many times here on MDL about series stretched over several seasons (rather than split into segments) spin-offs, the majors' argument about returns etc. towards which I am most often sceptical. I, for example, haven't even seen the second season of ‘Queen Of Mystery’ yet, and, at this point, if I made up my mind I'd have to re-watch the first one beforehand, a bit like ‘Signal’ when the sequel arrives... Curiously, (i also have my exceptions!) i still have definite memories for “Vagabond” if, eventually, the creators want to pick it up one day i would appreciate it...
"Secretary Kim", "Secret Garden" and "Autumn Tale", for so many reasons they return often and are also a comfort... I have added two titles that I always review with pleasure as ‘Couple of Trouble’ and ‘My Love Eun Dong’, beautiful stories with perfect cast, primarily, i am a viewer who appreciates nostalgic plots, the passing of time and lost opportunities, I like well-defined but not necessarily happy story endings, these factors personally give me comfort, but it is such a vast world that one is really spoilt for choice, and this list is really very good!

Can't wait!

Come back soon with a new project, that I am already in withdrawal from you! 😘
