I am ashamed to say, I am not sure. I nver watch the press and am really bad with names. I just watch the drama - and He tried to take out a girl from his class whose dad is a high ranking politician.

Thank you! I checked it out - it is traditional Hindu music/dance from India, something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uewCFBj_R-g Dancers sing the drum rhythm.

Glad to hear that you liked Arten Urzunov. He is a very popular and famous contemporary hot energetic (and relatively young, good looking) drummer who often live drums for the best belly dancers. For bellydance, he plays the traditional belly dance drum called darbuka, aka dumbek.
Tabla is drum played in traditional Indian music.
FYI some of the best belly dancers are in India, they mix bangra etc and make it really really amazing

ENJOY!

Spirit Fingers ML tried hitting on a girl from his class, the daughter of some politician on a campaign, and she rejected him. He was with 5 other boys and some wanted to date her.

Good question! So far one hint. See spoiler. With all those healthy high school kids, there must be tons of couples. Plus that huge group in black that follows ML... then so many female teachers .. . I expect to see zillion side couples :)

Common... the Hot Pants Prof getting into Hot Pants of Evil She will tick off the "manager" of Evil She. He has been her lapdog for years, she has been mistreating him majorly the entire time and yet he always ate any sh#t she threw his way, and always did whatever she asked for - DOES he even get to sleep with her... ?? I think it was his baby... now when she has the Chairman... are they still sacking in secret.... ? ,

And so after all those years of being her faithful sidelined abused secret husband....
now she even cheats on him??? **** When he finds out, he is gonna stop being so overly faithful. *****

Also, that Hot Pants Prof has two sons who are tangled up with the twins... and Evil She doesnt know it :) yet :) The Prof will have to figure out his loyalties and probably will mess up his sons - or maybe help them... We will see..

Psk that mighty She Villain wants to take over the entire Dream Group, yet she is incapable of running one hotel... even one restaurant.... AND SHE DOES NOT EVEN SEE IT. As a businessperson, she is an utmost failure stingy micromanager and relies on scheming and political decisions instead of business decisions

LMAO your description of DK is hilarious and so true

and yes ML actor is a great actor and my hopes are high too

This started as a simple heartwarming nice fluffy rom com, a REAL rom com seems like.

I predict that many ppl will enjoy this positive uplifting vibe. Bc the actors are good and the script seems on track, i.e. healthy is the name of the game. The start is creative and unique.
The ML is written as an honest confident warm guy. He is not super polished but ... he is smart where it matters. He is very kind and communicates. FL is written quite well, she is smart, active, and responds to communication, and FL actress is a great comedian.
Ep 1 is about healthy productive adults - well with some quirks and flaws LOL that are getting fixed already :) Hopefully this drama stays on track.

FL in this drama changed already in ep 1 ... for example, black to beige.... ML and FL communicate and solved problems together... for example, the late night meeting and the door...
ML in this drama is an open straight communicator, he is already telling her where they met etc ... FLopenly communicates too, for example told him she was afraid of being stabbed ... then he hornestly ressponded witt taking off that ... glove LOL

So... with both ML and FL being active and self learning and communicating like that, the drama can have many more plots and twists that will be interesting

So far the trope detector did not beep :) LET US PRAY the drama stays fresh and creative!!!!

Cross my fingers that I was correct This is my assessment right now :)

FYI for all rom com lovers who felt disappointed recently about Dynamite Kiss - my 2 cents worth: it was toxic and flawed from the start bc it was based on the obsolete tropey script of "overbearing boss and his powerless weak underling." FL was written as the typical tropey FL... an insecure scared willingly-self-made-loser who NEVER communicates truthfully
And ML was written as a typical tropey ML, all cruel, controlling, etc
FL was just a super weak and DULL person... she was really mentally off, a child in adult body. Her only charm was to jump fast into the sack... but then run out without saying goodbye.... and all the lies and scheming and lack of communication and her dumping ML at any excuse and running away was already obvious at the very beginning....
and then it just kept going downhill. There was never any learning. FL stayed the same, and her darling too....
and the script went through the checklist of ALL TROPES... plus it promoted obsolete value system, like a loser woman lying non stop and an overbearing boss doing sexual harassment at work "bc he loves her" etcetcetc..... so the drama got super repetitive boring and imo quite evil and negative.

==========

it seems this drama is about HEALTHY, has a good script, great actors, and will be a pleasant watch.

Which minute in ep 1 was Dim tak dum tak? I missed it.

Indians have it for tabla musicians... Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RVSfhBab-o It is less known

It is a famous song for bellydancers ... I wanna dum tek by drummer Arthem Uzunov.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMQTy7LU-TE or this one where he sings it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGHAkuYX1WU
you can google videos with various bellydancers dancing to either song, both songs are famous, and the drummer is famous Here is a great classical tradition Egyptian dancer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgipi_R_CoQ and it is used for aerobics and zumba classes and warmup :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaCnfnwj_Z0 and this seems to be a class of Tribal dancers from San Francisco / Berkeley Suhalia school.. In any case, whoever they are, they rock it, they are dancing it rather classical but energetic adn the front dancer is super skilled https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zySu9h03y0

I love this thank you so much for mentioning it!!!! I am a dancer and drummer myself and did this number so many times

Dynamite Kiss had FL who was soo.... doozey... so insecure, willingly a loser, so .... mentally off.... so it could have not gone a good way

This FL has issues but she is also spunky and smart and active. She already ditched the black. This looks promising :)

Omg what happened to Pretty Crazy ML... ??? Such smart sophisticated guy turned into a redneck who kinda imitates My Sweet Mobster ... ? Oh .... what a disappointment... I like the smart version of this actor a lot more :)
And omg what happened with the lovely dance-around-happy ML from Spirit Fingers? He too turned into a rednecksh quiet boy... Oh what a waste!!!!!
Ok no worries, this is not going to be my drama :) Unless it grows on me LOL

I liked FL in Divorce Insurance and Ithink she is even better here. I did not like her in Twelve LOL Oh the hair extensions of the Ogwi LOL I cannot forget those mimes LOL

@oppa_ i have a notificationthat you commented on my review but I cannot find your comment

FYI i did not like Moon River much except for ML/FL acting and by the end, 2ML and some 2FL acting. The plot was ... well... and the whole drama was ... well...

Yes he was, bc the real FL was not doing enough to make it stand out. ML acted in exaggeration to make sure the audience gets it, esp since it was filmed in a way that ACTING was the only clue we had that they switched. I thought he had fun with it, did not seem stressed out to me. It was annoying that he overplayed her but on the other hand it was hilarious bc he mimicked ALL female tropey acting lol and it was "dissected" and presented so well, I really got it, what makes female tropey acting so lol

wow this is heavy!!! it is a very serious, real life drama
The acting and the plot are amazing! I am very pleasantly surprised!!!! this is better than most dramas showing now. In fact... I would say this is THE best one showing now

So... only ppl with nerves of steel can survive that idoling 24/7 gig... But it is addictive at first, all that attention ... This dude doesnt seem hung up on being adored, though... He seems just a professional doing his job and trying to literally survive it all.

The fascinating thing to me is his face... When he is nasty, anxious, etc versus clear.... His "pretty flower face" looks 100% ugly when it shows a bad emotion. When he gets focused and clear, that is when he starts to shine, bc of his eyes. Like when he silenced FL in ep 1. Are his eyes plastic surgery though, that big... ? Regardless, what makes his eyes shine is the FOCUS in the eyes, they are like lasers

So it is fascinating to watch him. First of alll he is so scrawny, and it is all his face. He is like a traumatized cat... To see something "pretty" be really mean and nasty and also hurt and really suffering, overwhelmed, TRAUMATIZED.... Then to see this "pretty" really be pretty when it has the right conditions... I feel like I am watching a beautiful cat or dog or horse or a bird or something like that, that I can just look at and admire for its beauty. Now seriously, this drama helped me to see the real person behind the pretty face. Bc he is smart and sensitive and a real person. This is a serious change for me.

I dont think there is "that" kind of humor. Impersonating someone can be done in so many ways and can be anywhere on the spectrum from very rude crude ridicule, cheap, sleazy all the way to super masterful acting fun.

In this case, they precisely copied extra subtle nuances in behavior and body language, and showed extreme mastery in observing people and then embodying that. It is quite a skill!!!! And it was fun. It gave us a chance to notice things we did not see before, like ML's stiff neck bobbing going forward and his pushing ppl out of the front seat LOL and FL's wide open eyes in anxiety. ML overdid it LOL and totally nailed the tropey female acting LOL After seeing them, I am a lot more aware what makes "male acting" vs "female acting"

Aaah I thought it was the ML from My Sweet Mobster... Again.. I thought it was him in Pretty Crazy....... I keep mixing him up with Ahn ... from Pretty Crazy, Yumi's Cells, Doberman, etc. OK, Ahn is great too. I am seated!

I never saw ML from My Sweet Mobster again but he was so hilarious. Seems like h does more movies than dramas... And he doesnt do too much... how is he making a living then... ?

Ok I understand but HOW can he expose his inlaws when he did not keep any evidence... ? He cannot just show up and testify without any evidence. To really win, he has to have evidence AND do tricks like Again my Life and Lawless Lawyer. His oponents rule the judicial system, police, etc, have $$$$ and gangsters working for them. If he just turns himself in, that is stupid. Calling the reporters to give an interview and say he did it for them? Maaaybe that could work but I doubt it. Those gangsters own the media

Is taxi cab driver drama so good? I didnt watch it yet

I thought body swap was so cool, they impresonated each other so well, it was hilarious :) They are master actors, both of them.
