Wow So Hee snack ppl are so dumb. The whole plot is due to their dumbness. Thanks to them, now we have a sure way to recognize stupidity, Just go down this checklist: *** 1. a dumb loser KNOWS IT ALL - so a dumb loser will not listen to reports of their own ppl / kids etc 2. a dumb loser tells all their stuff to total strangers and "authorities".*** 3. A dumbo has NO common sense. So she sees someone who is a criminal and then follows him into a dark alley at night, all alone in an empty hood, and she does not even phone her buddy whom she is supposed to meet. Her brain is on AUTOMATIC IMPULSIVE behavior.
WHAT A CHEAP WAY TO CREATE SCRIPT, JUST BE STUPIDITY
A DUMBO ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON AND THEN TELLS YOU WHAT IS GOING ON INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO HEAR FROM YOU WHAT YOU SAW.
Signs are falling on a dumbo, and dumbo KNOWS FOR SURE it was just an accident. The Dumbo totally disbelieves the kid who says they saw the lady steal something. And so on.
THE DUMBO TAKES BIG PPL TO LUNCH TO APPOLOGIZE as if big ppl have nothing better to do than sit for a meal with some total nobodies stragers
The dumbo knows it all!!! Therefore the dumbo never learns and stays dumb forever. It is a self feeding loop. The dumbo is gonna be EATEN ALIVE bc of this cemented blindness. Like going through life with blinders. Such a primitive way to live
Jae In is very dumb and quite primitive. And not always kind. She is cruel out of dumbness and prejudice. She is nice to her family and very selfless to her mother, but she was super awful to Lawyer before she knew him, and she is actually super awfful to her mother, to IGNORE what her mother is saying. HOW could she say that there was nothing unusual on the bathroom day???? In short, JAE IN IS A REDNECK. A rather crude dumb simple woman loyal to her family. Her rich twin is a lot smarter and classier, and more rude, and kind in her own way. She adores grandpa and is actually considerate to her mother. Rich Twin is a lot more interesting character. Jae In is a slightly improved version of the tired kdrama trope of a dumb loser woman.
The ML is not new... He was the ML in Tunnel, he was in The heirs, He was also in Gu family book (Kang chi father),…
Let me repeat myself. A "cold CEO" can be acted as a make-believe pretend one, OR a real one. I think ML here is make-believe clearly pretending. He is NOT a cold CEO; he is pretending to be one. There is a huge difference. When I sense that "I am pretending" vibe, it is like nails on chalkboard.
I you want to see a real cold CEO, that is 2ML in The Nice Guy 2025 kdrama. He is a complex smart ambitious gangster boss with some good traits. That actor is PERFECT in that role. He *is* that gangster. King in Bon Apettit Your Majesty also starts like that. You do not see the actor. You see only the king. Another one who struck me eons ago was PSJ in What's Wrong With Secretary Kim LOL
***** A good actor does not pretend. A good actor IS that character. ******
UNLESS you are a makjangy theatrical actor ... like FL from Judge from Hell, etc. .... that is a whole different ball game of acting... In which case you ARE that character AND you are overdoing it. Like putting it on 200% instead of 100%. Ji Sung acts like he is narrating a story for you and overdoing the details... thats another way to "act" via storytelling... ====
Well glad you finally realized that I am real LOL I am an independent art nerd.
Please someone who speaks Korean helps us all with really bad subtitles for ep 11: At the very end, when LaIk visits the Ex, and asks her WHY and she says blah blah and then he says NO... WHY DID YOU TAKE THAT KNIFE? if you didnt, I would have fallen, it would easy and clean case. If you say you did it out of love, let me tell you it wasnt love... and then he mentions what love IS.
What is the real translation of that part? Just before he gets out and meets Se Na again. It is just a minute but it is critical. THANK YOU!
I have been saying this for a while! Been watching Kdramas and Cdramas for pretty much half my life and I have…
Indeed. I see it in my home country too. And after thinking about it: someone is intentionally trying to kill the moral premise of the society KILL THE FAMILY and turn into lewdness bc then.. .ppl are more isolated, more prone to drugs and manipulation, more egoistical and lost in consumerism, and overall less capable of running their country. Ppl start paying attention only to decadent things. FAMILY GETS DESTROYED. When that happens, the society falls apart and in that chaor it is super easy to manipulate ppl who are essentially brain dead and without any ethics or moral compass and it is all about instant pleasure for themselves.
I think ML-FL in Idol I are equals, communicate well and are a great team, and Lomon just started treating the…
Yeah that is typical kdrama mysogony, a weak FL who keeps running away and ML has to save her. I hear you. This FL is not as bad as many others. But yeah could be better. THis one has some excuse, she was a slave so she doesnt dare to grab the prince
The ML is not new... He was the ML in Tunnel, he was in The heirs, He was also in Gu family book (Kang chi father),…
A skilled actor does not act, they BECOME the character. You do not see them pretending anything. They just LIVE their role. This actor we are discussing is clearly pretending, it is not just his role that forces him to act that way. I can see he is pretending. I dislike it. Some actor can obviously pretend but they make comedy and chaos out of it, like Ji Sung. I dislike his style. On the other hand, a somewhat similar but very different female counterpart, FL from Incongito Miss Hong, is super catchy and interesting bc she acts and overacts any and every emotion all the time :)
As for male leads who I think are excellent actors and I saw them act very complex roles: ML in My Mister.... Huyn Bin .... Currently ML in Idol I - that is a new megastar, he acts complexity in great detail, ML in To my beloved thief also, even ML in No tail to tell is on his way... Eric Moon and Sung Joon in Discovery of Love.... Sung Joon is great everywhere.... Pyo dad in Typhoon family / judge in Shin's project etc is a master of looking the same in every role yet giving an impression of a distinct unique character; ML in Walking on Thin Ice (and FL too); Imugi in human form and King in Haunted Palace; Judge Cha (a female villain) and Major in Again my Life - the major is soooo impressive acting, all with the tongue and voice; ML and his dad in Flower of Evil; etc etc etc - the Flower o Evil serial killer dad is good anywhere ... The Clown in King and Clown was brand new so sometimes he pretends but still, he left a lasting impression bc somehow his acting was REAL; Uhm Tae Wung as Good ML detective and Ju Ji Hon just in his bad ML role in Lucifer; 2ML in The Nice Guy as a complex villain; ML in Twinkling Watermellon acting a teenager - so perhaps that is not complex enough but is TOTALLY convincing... the performance he did with his "son" from the future when he sings Man in Yellow Shirt is one of the best performance scenes and performances I have ever seen and I am a semi professional dancer.... etc etc etc etc etc ... ML in Love Divine I would say ML in Bon Apettit bc he was so enthusiastic and radiant... it was watching a star in making... I am the one who spotted him first and said wow this is a new star... Then there are comedians, like the FL's Boss in Incognito Miss Hong... etc ML in Dream Life of Mr Kim The ML from Tastefully Yours had many good scenes but the drama was not so great; he did a great job in Scarlet Heart Ruyeo Realistic Sociopath villain from Heo's Diner and also Heo himself LOL as a makjang actor
There are actors who really convey their role well even with less complexity like Lawyer in Woman Who Swallowed the Sun, and villain ML in Queen's House... the good doctor in Queen's house is not bad...
There are lot more skilled male actors bc usually script is in their favor.
==== Good FLs are harder to find but I was lucky to see the main female villain in The Glory and Nce to Not Meet You, she is a chameleon for sure; western counterparts are Merryl Streep and Reese Witherspoon bc I cannot even guess what they are like in real life, bc their every role is totally different and precisely that character
great catchy makjang actresses like mother in law in Queen's House, loan shark Nan Suk in A Graceful Liar who was also FL in that famous daily First Love that had 64% rating, now FLs in No tail to tell and Incognito Miss Hong are masterful comedians. etc etc etc , FLs that are pretty good and perhaps on their way to mastery are in Idol I, To my beloved thief, etc A good one was Queen in Moon River
ML and L in Moon's river are FANTASTIC IMPROVISERS, I loved how they copied each other to the last bit, and he even embelished it and acted as a typical tropey drama female omg omg omg... omg he is so good, they got skillZ, RESPECT!!!!
This is what comes from the top of my head
So I have high standards :) and sharp eyes :) I am trained to watch ppl and "grade them" for competitions in dance and I work as a healer so I have intuition and trained eyes
I dont think I want to keep going, this is just what comes first to my mind
Well she just had an issue with a Students guardian at Seoul. And she is still traumatised from that. Her being…
Thanks! thanks to this feedback, I realized I did not watch ep 6 lol so I just watched it, and that scene is there, and it is a perfectly suitable scene.... whoever complained on the internet about that scene as "toxic" is ... toxic LOL
He said that at the beginning of episode 6. "I've been waiting for Yoon Bom for 36 years, so what's two more…
Oh gees! Thank you! I just realized I did not watch ep 6 yet LOL I just saw that part. Yesh it was perfectly all right for him to say that after she confessed :) It was great!
se jin never fails to infuriate me zero char development for her , hope he realizes how much of a red flag she…
one thing that annoys me too is her face and lips, how she holds her lips shut tight in a pouting expression, barely mincing her words except when she yells, and how her face has that DISGUSTED look as if she has just swallowed a warty frog, that impatient superior extremely bored annoyed and disgusted look, as her unrully slaves are not following her commands and she is ready to just .... shred them. The face of a nasty Master having to dirty herself to speak with her undeserving, low life, dirty dumb slaves. She is soooo ignorant.
Oh… sot hats how the thing isI feel like the teachers of Ml nephew are the one spoiling his name 😏😏Cause…
YES!!! starting from ML who has a "killer thug" reputation but is actually an accomplished professional and small business owner in solar energy and a very kind guy and good parent to his nephew. and FL who seemed snotty but then said at the end of ep 6 that it was ... I will spoil it now LOL then the villain dude from Seoul who seemed blood thirsty since ML did something terrible and then it turned out ....
This drama is half way through. I’m really enjoying it. it’s so nice to see ML in a comedic role. He’s really…
I saw him for the first time in Perfectly Crazy movie where he is a soft, kind, meek, subservient, helpful, ***emotional** and **smart*** guy and he was FANTASTIC in that role So I was disappointed to get here and find him as a cartoon character dumb guy... Luckily he is recently showing he has brains but he is ... still... not as smart :) he was obnoxious many times here.
