am i tweaking or does the plot or the names sound similar the the movie the two leads were directing in the kdrama…
they will because both are set during the Japanese colonisation period and focus on the independence movement. Gyeonseong was the name for Seoul during that time.
From what I've seen I really don't think he is all that together himself 🤣🤣🤣He might be more messed up…
after watching ep8 and his outburst i get l where his open relationship suggestion came from. consistent enough with how he is dependent on the fl, idealised her as his saviour, and believes he can't survive without her. it's extremely heartbreaking. i hope he learns to value and live for himself.
ep7 lmao the writer hasn't heard of therapy?? lmao how will dating another guy fix her depression what in the…
okay so his reactions on ep 8 are normal and his anger completely justified. I'm still a bit confused about whether his suggestion for her to date the other guy stemmed from his past traumas leading to inferiority complex and feelings that he doesn't deserve mido. or like they said this ep it came out of anger and hurt. probably both. either way, he felt more human this ep lol.
the writer is nasty but with how she has introduced her open relationship here. what's the point of making it seem like the fl is forcing him to date the other girl? the scene near the bus made it seem as if the she is the one desperate to date the sml but can't do without guilt unless the ML does too. this scenario only works if the ML is interested in the sfl too, otherwise it just villainizes the FL further. realistic maybe, cuz i bet behaviours and relationships like this exist, and the ML's insecurities and traumas has made him over dependent on the FL. it's just not healthy and unless they address it, the audience is just gonna react negatively. naturally.

bro was so casual bringing up an open relationship i went ????? even in the car in ep 8 ain't no way he's normal either lol. wait not even an open relationship, but like go date him and come back??? what kinda humiliation kink?!. i don't mind or judge characters who have wayward morals or thoughts, but his actions aren't consistent and doesn't make sense for his character established so far.
ep7 lmao the writer hasn't heard of therapy?? lmao how will dating another guy fix her depression what in the world. i thought namgung was an educated intelligent man? open relationship or whatever is a different thing, both are adults they can do whatever they want in their relationship, but the thing that led him to the conclusion that she needed to date the other guy was the revelation that she was depressed? that she was on self destruction mode? are you serious what year is this lol
The acting is phenomenal 👏👏👏👏. With You Jung however, there are moments where she looks too exaggerated,…
agree with the comment, there are moments when KYJ's character reactions don't come of as genuine. even when she was acting scared, or being silly - you are right it did feel like acting. but these bits are inconsistent too so i wonder if it's a slight directing issue cuz she's usually brilliant on screen.
in the opening sequence there's a man in an office room with his back turned and with Japanese flag imagery. i wonder if that's the governor general.. would be a special appearance if that's the case. I'm curious about the reveal.
drama got me googling for a history lesson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchukuo
same! I paused the ep in the middle to read this exact same wiki, which led me to Unit 731. I sat and cried reading it. Genuinely had to take a minute before I could resume watching this drama, but those real life horrors I read about made Soran's past and the atrocities shown on screen later hit harder.
after watching the first two eps i believe among the letters that came out as promo, the ones addressed to their beloveds must be from soran and yoo philip to eachother 🥺 oh their arc is going to be heart breaking I'm already drawn to and cried at soran's past story today.
