In "Alchemy of Souls", with each scene she is in I think, "What an attractive woman. I wonder what she looked…
After watching a few more episodes of "Alchemy", I decided that Ms. Oh is not just attractive, she is beautiful and lovely. I need to check her earlier work.
I don't usually notice clothes, but I will say that a couple of her outfits in Dodosolsollalasol look like big potato sacks. I wondered if it was some inside joke by the wardrobe people. I wouldn't say it made her look ditzy, but it is distracting.
At the other end of the spectrum, in the first bridal scene Ms. Go was breathtaking.
I think Yang Mi is a good actress and is pretty, but I don't find her attractive. She has kind of an auntie quality to me. I don't discount the possibility that it is just me.
My main takeaway here is that i don't want to be a celebrity in china
Several years ago I was waiting for my flight in the Guangzhou airport. I hear a big commotion going on with a throng of people chasing one guy, including some middle aged women. I thought it was funny. I didn’t see who the target was but I heard it was a celebrity.
I expected there to be a lot of deaths and all the deaths so far I was able to handle. I knew that this historical…
I felt as the show progress that there couldn't be a happy ending. The main narrative throughout the show is the oppression suffered by Koreans at the hands of the Japanese. A happy ending would have distracted from that message plus the writers would be accused of a forced happy ending.
The sad ending was foreshadowed early on with Ae Sin's first words of English.
Even so, I would have liked Eugene and Ae Sin to have lived Ae Sin's dream in the US, despite the idea seeming contrived.
BTW IMO, Kim Tae Ri is beautiful and uber lovely as a Joseon noble woman; sexy in her Smooth Criminal outfit, and breathtaking fixed up in period Western clothes. I think if a couple walked together in a US city that looked as good as Ae Sin and Eugene looked in the NYC dream scene, they would attract a lot of eyes.
I can see how someone can feel that way, especially in a Confucian influenced culture. But I don't feel that way. There wouldn't be much of a show if the characters all did what their cultures expected of them.
Leaving how good the drama aside, I started head over heals for Yoo Jin but ended head over heals for Go Dong…
They have long memories in that part of the world. Some Chinese friends of mine still hold a grudge against Japan. From other things I have read and have been told by people that actually experienced what the Japanese did in their imperialist ventures, I can understand continued resentment. I think they should let it go, but I can imagine how they feel.
I have an aunt that was adopted who is ethnically Japanese. I don't know her reason (I can speculate, she married a Chinese man, but I don't know for sure), but she never told her own children about her ethnicity. My cousins were shocked when I mentioned it to them.
the FL is famous and every kind of drama/film she was in got high rating
I had not heard of her before (I have heard of The Handmaiden, but hadn't watched it), but think she is great. I think it is hard for a straight male not to fall in love with her character in this show. Ms. Kim's work is now on my "must watch" list because of her performance in MS.
