I could not get all the way through to the end. Or if I did, it was not memorable. Lee Joon Gi is so frail looking that I could not believe he had the strength to fight anything except a stuffed animal. He is no longer attractive and there was no chemistry between the leads.
Lee Sun Gyun, Kim Nam Gil, Lee Sang Yeob, Kim Min Sik, and Go Kyu Pil are confirmed to be preparing for a new tvN variety show!
“Siberian Advance Party” (literal translation) is set to air in the second half of the year and will follow a group of close friends as they travel along the Trans-Siberian Railway, which is on the bucket list of many travelers. Anticipation is rising for the group as they’re actual friends and an interesting combination of people who haven’t been seen on variety shows.
They tell us over and over that the couple are the same age. Even stating that he is more mature than her. I liked the story in that it was a different cultural problem than one here in the US. It was the same awful music style and singers as SITR. Even the cast was recast in different characters. Its like they had left over drab clothes and music and no one else had anything planned so they wrote another drama around the leftovers. Netflix got robbed on this one.
I wanted to like this film. Jo In Sung was ok. Nam Joo Hyuk was horrible. I saw him recently in a drama series and he underacted. This movie he overacted. Someone send him to an acting coach. And he's not a very good Water God either. Cute boy but lacks talent. I can think of a dozen other actors who could have filled the role and done it very well.
If you ever look for something good to watch, run a search for Kim Won Hae. He is making great choices. His character is guaranteed to improve the overall quality of the series or film.
I just want to say that i recognized the production componants to be the same as Something in the Rain. The best difference is that the music is not overly loud and intrusive. I loved something in the rain but its major flaw was the overly inserted and loud made me glad i could turn down the sound and watch the dialogue.
This just showed up in my Amazon Prime. I watched it on my Fire Stick. It was not rated very high and I didnt know who was in it. But I gave it a try. WELL WORTH IT! Some great acting performances and story lines . The children were great little actors.
This was a pleasant surprise and worth a second watch. I dont like those serious scary zombie movies except for train to busan because I love Gong Yoo. I loved Kim Nam Gil. I loved the whole cast. I had just seen Jung Jae-young in Partners for Justice so I thought the film would be serious. I am so glad I went out of my comfort zone.
I worried more about the neglected goat than the teens. And then the boy ditched the girl when she needs him the most. What could we expect from a teen? How performance was excellent but I won't watch it again.
I have to update my comment. I gave in to a second chance and loved it. The ending was obscure but I did figure it out. They did leave some breadcrumbs along the way. I found myself rewatching scenes more than usual. I usually watch for the subtitles and then watch the show again to see the nuances and expressions. We miss alot when we have to read everything instead of listen and watch. In this case it was really necessary. I loved the character of the older brother best of all. I enjoyed his infantile gestures and behavior.
I am glad that it was not made into a series. It would have been drawn out and meandered all over the place. It is a simply beautiful film. Watch it to the very last frame after the credits!! I made my daughter (45 yo) watch this with me. She hasnt caught the kdrama bug yet. Her heartfelt laughs and tears were all in the right places. She adored it. But if you had made her watch it drawn out over 16 episodes, we would have lost her after the first 15 minutes. Long lingering looks, frozen kisses and pretty people who seem to misunderstand everything is an acquired taste.
The pollen he drank was from the blackened tree. It was not pink or purple like he gave to his mother. He fell into a "coma". The tree mark on his body has been fading too. And on his grandfather. Watch the tree. I think the blacken pollen made him forget his love which made her safe when she woke up. He broke the curse. The blackened tree showed one live flower and she woke up. Also the Shaman gave her something to protect her at the beginning of the show. Itg blew away right before he found her on the beach. Other parts of the story dont match up well. The other relationships have a serious 3 year time lapse problem.
Just finished Oh Man Soo. oh man was it bad. Poor Jong Hyun. The director and writer did not let this actor perform to his potential. It was very unlikable.
