how is she weakest.. she played both characters differently.. if anything the young mom character has not much…
She is the weakest in terms of character development and writing. I agree that she genuinely played both characters differently, but still, there has not been any moment with her that emotionally resonated with me so far.
Although, the young mom has not been given much screen time her scenes are genuinely very touching as she portrays the trials and tribulations faced by deaf people in their everyday lives. Moreover, her connection with both male leads makes her little screen time very important.
I really love Seol In Ah and with the last few episodes I have started liking her character as well but I am still not satisfied and I think she can do much better than playing the girl in a typical cliche love triangle! Let's see what chaos her character can cause in upcoming episodes.
I am falling deeper and deeper in love with this drama with each passing episode. It's so heartwarming and the emotions that Ryeoun (the actor playing the ML) conveys touch my heart every time.
Not only this but I also chuckle from time to time at the well-written comedy as well. At the half-stage, it looks like the best drama I watched in 2023 so far!
Seol In Ah's character though is the weakest out of the 4 leads but still, she is the catalyst for the majority of the plot's main events and I think things will get more interesting with her in the second half of the drama.
any indian kdrama fans? why are al kdrama websites going down. where are you all watching?
I am currently watching a) The Killing Vote at Amazon Prime Video b) Moving at Disney Hotstar c) My Lovely Liar at Viki There are plenty of legal options for watching Kdramas in India right now and then there is also Netflix which has the biggest KDrama inventory.
Ep 11 was freaking phenomenal! The brutal action choreography was as good as any Deadpool movie scene. Ryu Seung Ryong aka the Monster knocked it out of the park. It's so sad the series deserves worldwide acclaim as immense as Squid Game but Disney has not put much effort in promoting it. Squid Game was dubbed in many languages and was readily available globally but Moving has not penetrated much into the general masses other than hardcore KDrama fans.
Such a cute and heartwarming movie. It has its flaws and drawbacks but the emotion it wanted to convey touched me. For a sports film, the screenplay was written in a very non-cinematic manner but everything conveyed was very real. I watched it only for IU, she has some really funny lines between her and PSJ. Overall a good one-time watch nothing special.
Personally don't like how the dad's character is changed, how they changes Cho Won, the lovely badass heiress…
I also think it is borderline weird and just like Goblin, it's not easy to understand the technical age of the character. I think for high school Seo Ha they should have chosen a different younger actor to play.
On Ji Eum's part, I always think that whenever she is going after Seo Ha it's like a typical teenage crush and just forget about her past 18 lives baggage.
The actor playing the dad's character always played villainous characters in the past so the moment I saw his face I know he was a douchebag.
I have to say, I loved the webtoon and was skeptical about this adaptation. There are definitely some changes and the drama progression is faster in order to cover all the webtoon. For me, the hook is the kind of character Ban Ji Eum plays, which is very different from the usual female Kdrama leads. Shin Hye Sun looking drop-dead gorgeous isn't helping me either, so I will keep watching the drama weekly for her.

Regarding "The Glory" winning best drama and people rightly complaining that there were actually better dramas than it, I would like to point out that sometimes award shows don't reward the best drama but the most important drama in the context of the host country's culture, history and current politics.
Bullying is a serious issue in South Korea and awarding "The Glory" helps in the amplification of the issue and put pressure on Korean lawmakers to give serious attention to this issue. Though I do not agree with the revenge plot in the drama, I still find it very entertaining and refreshing, and therefore binged both seasons when they came out.
The Glory is morally and philosophically pure trash. No philosophy or religion in the world supports revenge.…
I absolutely agree with you on the revenge part but The Glory is entertaining AF and that's the reason for its immense popularity. The revenge theme was more maturely handled in Itaewon Class IMO. Alchemy of Souls is bound to become the top 10 most popular KDrama for sure, but allow "The Glory" to have its glorious moment shall we? (pun intended :-))
Kim Eun Sook, the writer of this drama has written a complex web of plot threads that are gripping and make you root for Song Hye Kyo who looks gorgeous at the age of 41 and has proved her acting chops in this by acting perfectly as a cold bitch to the piece of garbage bullies who ruined her life. Desperately waiting for season 2 which will be dropped in March next year.
I understand that some of the Kdramas exclusive for Netflix are having American TV problems but I still think…
Now I understand your point regarding American problems in Netflix KDramas better. I absolutely agree with what you have said regarding senseless vulgarity & endless seasons as Netflix India is exactly doing the same and that's why here in India, Netflix is not able to connect emotionally with us.
Please I would love to know and watch more KDramas having morally ambiguous characters and a dark plot. Recommendations are always welcomed :-)
On the censorship issue, I would not argue much as it's a very sensitive topic so leave it. Though I do like it when there is less censorship imposed by the government and the creators themselves understand their responsibility.
PS: Loved the clarity of your thoughts and critique. Nice conversing with you. Also, I liked all your 1-star ratings very much, made my day :-)
