I wanted to ask should I read manwha first then watch the kdrama or watch this first then read manwha . please…
If you read it, you will keep comparing it and waste the enjoyment. But if you watch it before reading, you have already finished it. If the manhwa is worse or better, it doesn't matter, since you have already tried the live-action version. That's my opinion. Killing the joy by comparing the original to the adaptation is not a good idea.
seriously, thank god I know enough conversational Korean, cause lord knows they arent translating shit.
Netflix is doing it again with terrible translations. I don’t understand Korean but when you watched enough of it, I also know that they missed a lot, especially hong’s sisters’ dialogues. Such a huge network but sucks at finding competent translators lol
Idk about this. As an American , I love Kdrama. It's all I watch outside of sports. But when it comes to the kind of content that's deemed acceptable to watch and view, Korea and the US are on opposite sides of the spectrum and it's a large gap. It's easy to see why since the values the bulk of each populations holds dear are absolutely different. SBS and the dramas that will air are flat out going to bank. No doubt about it. My only concern is that to get the $$ that will be available, I think there's a high probability SK's talent will tailor stories to fit American preferences and that is something I do NOT want to see. I didn't realize it until I started watching older dramas from Netflix catalog, I saw that it's already happened. It's not all bad. It's just that dramas that streamed side by side w/ Netflix have a different feel and taste as opposed to something that only airs on SBS or JTBC. Why? Cuz they have a huge viewing base and that means $$. So yea, Americans want more Kdrama and It's not uncommon anymore to see them stream side by side with distributors outside SK. Amazon, Netflix, even Disney etc.....are adding and expanding their catalogs of Korean content. They were/are masters in the art of telling stories long before those stateside ever knew. Nowadays, it's been slipping in favor of slop that just sells. Do y'all think this newest and latest team up will be good or will stories degrade further? Or just something to be unconcerned with? Genuinely curious.
Don't understand why this is rated so low? It's just as good as the preceding three seasons and, for anyone incredibly busy (ie: me, right now), it's nice to have shorter episodes for a change.
Performances are just as solid as previous seasons, Guo Shi Min has done an excellent job directing and, to me at least, the cinematography is even prettier. Both cases are interesting too. Enjoyed this immensely,
In fact, I'd say I like this even more than I enjoyed Season 3.
EDIT: Currently also enjoying another short drama, The Miracles -- 18 mins per episode, brilliant stories that are completed in just 2 episodes, and such a feelgood drama with such satisfying endings to every story.
