Really perfect timing, no doubt about itđ , anyway these days one wouldn't know which place to choose to live, even among the privileged like Hyo Jin... Here in Europe it's a powder keg, the United States boh, every day there's a new one, maybe New Zealand!? those are beautiful places, in a while they'll colonise space too, Moon, Mars etc, well she's already been trained! Best wishes, you are a fantastic actress, enjoy life!
I adored her so much in âBitter Sweet Hellâ that I am very intrigued by this interesting role, of course she took a lot of risks, the ribs are terribly painful even if only cracked - personal experience in her youth - and it can take a long time, but such dedication and spirit of sacrifice I hope will really pay off!
Thank you for the wonderful experience of this journey through life I have just seen the notification for the Baeksang Arts Awards nominations and âTangerinesâ stands out in all sections, I am a little unhappy not to read So Ri's name among the actresses (unless there is a probable nomination in supporting roles) but that's OK; Bo Gum is getting better and better, great acting evolution and he is only 31 years old, but here we must write bravo to everyone, great work!
Many Happy Birthday wishes to you, So Min! I have yet to catch up on your very latest work but I will be sure to catch up soon! Happy Birthday! đđ
'Moon Lovers' and âKing2Heartsâ absolutely yes! Really perfect and extremely functional even for the development of the plot, âGoblinâ for sure, but that's a perfect drama in every way... Personally, I can think of several but of my much-loved super classics such as I'd add âDescendants Of The Sunâ (Kim Ji Won and Jin Goo) and âSecret Gardenâ (the wonderful Kim Sa Rang and Yoon Sang Hyun), I think many people will point them out! As always a lovely article, excellently presented Editing efforts paid off big time!
Truly a beautiful interview, this is really an article to frame -thanks Lily Alice! - IU is simply fabulous, moreover here she argues about style and immediacy like a veteran, despite being still quite young in age; Total adherence to the characters portrayed, personally I loved how she gave heart and soul to the role of the young version of Ae Soon, in a classic old-school style of cinema, very âEuropeanâ in some ways, especially in the â start of maturityâ phase after marriage; It would have been nice to ask her if she watched certain movies to get into the part more deeply...
I really hope to see her more often in such strong and engaging performances, she has a versatility of style that really makes her a force of nature and which - I really hope! - can open up so many doors for her with the best directors, as well as perhaps make some sceptics reconsider, who apparently are never lacking... BRAVA!
Oh! This drama âdrains the hell out of youâ just watching it, imagine those who had to perform it!
Happy birthday Ye Jin! đ Always one of my favourite actresses and you always will be but another year has gone by and nothing yet, no new work on the horizon, we always look forward to some nice surprises soon All the best to You! đşđ
He He, Great! Happy birthday Tae Hyun đ if I love Korean cinema so much it's also thanks to you, I also watch your hilarious appearances in âFamily Outingâ from time to time...
Him is extraordinary in âMidnight Romanceâ, her you can't even argue with, you just love her! Great premise for the drama I've read a few hints about the original series and I have a lot of interest!
Happy Happy Birthday Na Ra! đ The least "Ajumma" imaginable, but, perhaps, you don't have a hidden ââpictureââ that ages for you!? Absolutely gorgeous!đĽ°
In the meantime, I congratulate you for your editorial, which deals with an extremely complex and variegated subject that at the same time offers so many possibilities for analysis. Personally, I too love this theme, it is something that has always accompanied me, in a discourse not only linked to Asian cinematography but open to a more âgeneralistâ vision, let's say, regarding cinema in its entirety...
Implicitly, rereading your article, it occurs to me that you have already provided a good key to reading it, speaking of themes that are today perhaps a little too overused and perhaps considered âold fashionedâ in the contemporary context, possibly with less appeal to viewers more immersed in the contemporary, but melodrama that flows into the fantastic, often linked to the âgothicâ genre, which in itself inevitably integrates supernatural connotations - ghosts in primis - is something that has always attracted legions of fans;
There was a time - quite a large one, especially in the 1940s and 1950s - when not only in Hollywood but also in much European film industry - France, Great Britain and Italy as well - many directors drank from this source, often using the theme of psychoanalysis, which was very much in fashion, or of surrealism - not only in the pictorial field - for complex, but decidedly involving interpretations...
When I think of movies such as âPandora and The Flying Dutchmanâ, âMarianne de Ma Jeunesseâ âJuliette ou La clef des songesâ or âPeter Ibbetsonâ just to name a few of my favourites from memory, I think that any lover of dramas and Asian cinematography would end up finding themes dear to their passion in the Dramaverse, due to the universality of the subject matter...
In my opinion, in certain cases there is nothing more enchanting than that dreamlike, fairy-tale dimension, where dream and reality come to overlap and where the characters slowly become aware that âsomethingâ or âsomeoneâ has already crossed/encountered their destiny with the other character...
Predestination is undoubtedly a message of hope, of reassurance that one day we will meet the other half of the sky, or finally be reunited with her, in another world, dimension or what any of us can imagine for an âafterâ ...
Melodrama is in principle something pushed to excess, it is extreme love, over the top (âAmour Fouâ, in the French definition), it is something that overcomes many barriers, in certain dramas even temporal ones; how many times has it happened to be fond of dramas where the main characters make almost supernatural efforts to reach and conquer the coveted object of their desire?
Every now and then I ask myself: I wonder if for some users here on MDL even their life resembles a drama!? (maybe, if there isn't already a thread on the subject, someone can take a cue for one in the future)
Banally I am not able to provide any sufficiently explicative answer on the theme of the thread, I am an incurable romantic who, perhaps, seeks in this kind of works the antidote to live well in spite of life's dramatic events; among the series listed here I adore âGoblinâ (which is one of the few 10 I have in my list) which, perhaps precisely in its ending, renders well the idea of predestination that I have tried to summarise
Not too long ago I posted here on MDL my own review of âNextâ, an excellent drama from a few years ago, perfectly pertinent to the subject matter, and then I would like to point out âRougeâ by Stanley Kwan (an extraordinary director, âCenter Stageâ would be enough to define his stylistic character) which perhaps could fall into the genre...
P.S. Kim Hee Soon in the hanbok is truly a beauty out of category!
Happy Birthday, Min Young! â¤ď¸ Our beautiful goddess, who never lets us down and who never lets too much time pass without cheering us up with her extraordinary talent, practically the perfect woman of the dramaverse!
I think Zo In-sung has the best body language among all the Korean actors I have observed. The way he carries…
Absolutely! For me since he was young he's been extraordinary in âPianoâ as in âThat Winterâ and âBaliâ (which have some of my favourite casts ever in the Dramaverse!) I love âShoot for the Starsâ and even in âIt's OKâ which is not among my favourite dramas he's really good... âEscape from Mogadishuâ is also occasionally shown here in Italy (it's always curious to hear Asian actors dubbed!) because of its very blockbuster cinematographic cut, but it enhances his acting versatility, definitely... Great actor, a guarantee!
Happy Birthday, dear Yu-ri, of course you could give us the best present, but as they have written before, I too have lost hope and we all live on memories... Look at how many of your peers are making waves right now, maybe they could inspire you to make a comeback!? No!? Happy Birthday, Yu-ri! â¤ď¸
Happy Birthday to our fantastic Ha Neul! There don't seem to be any upcoming shows this year, I'll take the opportunity to catch up on âNothing Uncoveredâ which I haven't seen yet. Best wishes to you! â¤ď¸
