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!
Nothing to object about the titles, both ‘Made in Korea’ and ‘Tempest’ e.g. intrigue me a lot, what "scares" me personally (in brackets, I mean...) is the hypothesis of a series with more seasons, in western style, which I really don't fancy,... Moreover the Disney+ press office mentions “Moving” and ‘A Shop To Killers’, two dramas that I don't know but that, as I see from the information schedules, already have a second season planned... We will see if any more information comes out in the coming months...
Personally, I have always been fascinated by the theme of the double, both in literature and in cinema. The plot so far still seems a little vague to me, and even hints at a “mysterious” detail that should trigger the exchange and thus the narrative development...
For an actor/actress I think these roles are the best, to be able to range and improvise so much in different characterizations must really be an extraordinary stimulus, I remember the magnificent Kim Hyun Joo of “I Have A Lover” - a drama that I personally loved very much- ...
Pak Bo Young is brilliant, every work of hers that I've seen I've found excellent, so this drama I await with positive interest...
Really perfect timing, no doubt about it😅, 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 ‘Bitter Sweet Hell’ 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 ‘Tangerines’ 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!
'Moon Lovers' and “King2Hearts” absolutely yes! Really perfect and extremely functional even for the development of the plot, “Goblin” 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 “Descendants Of The Sun” (Kim Ji Won and Jin Goo) and “Secret Garden” (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 ‘European’ in some ways, especially in the ‘ start of maturity’ 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 ‘drains the hell out of you’ just watching it, imagine those who had to perform it!
Happy birthday Ye Jin! 💖 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! 🌺🎉
He He, Great! Happy birthday Tae Hyun 🎉 if I love Korean cinema so much it's also thanks to you, I also watch your hilarious appearances in ‘Family Outing’ from time to time...
Him is extraordinary in ‘Midnight Romance’, 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! 💗 The least "Ajumma" imaginable, but, perhaps, you don't have a hidden ‘’picture‘’ that ages for you!? Absolutely gorgeous!🥰
Come back soon with a new project, that I am already in withdrawal from you! 😘
