It appears bio mom genuinely loved her son. I wonder what went wrong. I also wondered why she abandoned eunho.…
Nope LOL The stepmom sees her kids ONLY as ways for herself to elbow forward... She kept the son bc he was "profitable" she was going to put him to be the head of the company (after ousting SJ as "not interested" and "unfit for the job"). She could sell her pretty, chaebol, painter daughter as a wife to a bigger chaebol company.
AND SHE DUMPED EH BC EH WAS NOT SELLABLE - she was an orphan. "not pretty", not with a respectful job, no money, etc so no chaebol family would take her as a daugher in law..
Playful Kiss is THE definition of dumb... It repeats in Princess Hours... same actress.. Many of these dramas I did NOT watch, luckily LOL and some others that I did, I dont think the FL is dumb. For example, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim - secretary Kim is not dumb at all, she is a very skilled secretary and a competent person in life. She is just a nerd for dating, totally inexperienced
BOF is a totally completely toxic drama and should be forbidden. I just started watching and quit so I cannot say with total surety but FL there does not seem dumb. She seems insecure and also forced to act as a psychiatric nurse and personal aide and EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL to the psychotic ML
I was totally flabergasted when I found out that I did watch Ha Neul actor in another drama and did not recognize him here at all. Different hairdo, costuming and acting - and he was 10000% different unrecognizable person. Wow! The same happened in Pump Up the HEalthy Love and its ML Lee Ju Jong - I did not recognize at all that he was one of the main villains in One High School Heroes.... again different hairdo, clothes and acting....
Then we have Kim Sang-ho, who looks the SAME in One High School Heroes villain father, Typhon Family villain, and Shin's Project good judge - he LOOKS the same in all those dramas!!! Same hairstyle, same clothing!!!! but his acting makes him clearly a different character.
thn we have a young actor Lee Sang Jin, who has a very unique face that is recognizable with any haristyle or costuming.... yet appears in so many recent dramas, still recognizable BUT is clearly a different character every time, bc of his acting - Typhon Family, Low life, sister's guitar boyriried in another drama, Dream Life of Mr Kim, .... that's all him, clearly, BUT it is all different characters. he acts very well!!!!
Kim Soo-hyun is like that too. So many different roles and he is clearly recognizable he, but .... it is clear it is a different character.
Then we have Lee Jung Gi who has two roles - the Clown which seems more natural him, and then all other characters who are all basically one character under different costuming. Flower of Evil is a slight twist on it but all others - the lawyer, the dark prince, etc - are all one same character.
But then I found acting by cloning LOL I was doing some research on Netflix ratings and kdrama general ratings, so I watched some Princess Hours drama bc it is supposedly one of the most highly popular kdramas ever... and omg. Mr. Do from Queen's house was the King in that drama..... The Queen in that drama is mother of ML, and the mother is the grandma in Beauty and Mr. Romantic ..... and ... . all those actors have the same facial expression and gesturing, literally EVERYTHING THEY DO IS THE SAME, they cannot act but that specific "acting", it was so pathetic. I am sure this is not typecasting bc the characters are so different and the genres are different. These actors just cannot act any other way. They are just ... themselves, more or less. And some actors keep making a living with that. Like Kim Mi-kyung is the grandma in Genie Make a Wish, and she is always the same in all dramas she is in - a disciplining stern character. That's all she can act. Or is she typecast? Or Hye Ra in Graceful liar. She was the exact same in Young Lady and Gentleman, and in another drama. THOSE ACTORS ARE "CEMENTED" IN ONLY ONE EXPRESSION SET
So basically movie/drama makers pick a "cemented" actor like that when they need the certain type of acting they are sure that actor can do. Sometimes it is bc the actor can act just that and sometimes they typecast the actor into just that. It is FASCINATING to see how the same acting i.e. the same "character" is applicable for a King and MrDo the right hand of the ceo... For the petty Joseon Queen and the petty modern mother .... for the bossy mother and the bossy grandma.... Those were NOT typecast. It was just poor acting skill.
And most FL have the same acting - puckered lips, pouting, being stupid, being clumzy, being anxious, unsuccessful, and being a "very nice" person doormat
Yep, they are heading that way and that future is almost there, the country is being run not only by idiots, but…
I watched I think all Twilights during COVID :) My favorite Twilights are "its a cookbook" - I forgot the true title of it - and "Martian amongst us". There are some other memorable ones, like the boxer altering reality, then how Earth was populated LOL = one story of a group that traveled here, and two Adam/Eve stories - one with a lone human survivor meeting an alien, and another one of american male and russian female soldier as the only survivors :) nd the story of discontinuing Earth bc it is not aggressive enough LOL yeah and the one where two people are taken to be dolls in a toy town
Ah, the show about the visit to the concentration camp
I was sad about the story of finding the samurai sword - I wish he could think of a better ending for that story
ah so many good ones! I hope you are aware there are depositories with ALL Twilight episodes.
I also suggest Selfie tv series from 2014, that is free on Facebook, bc it was discontinued after 14 episodes or so. Selfie is so fun :) John Cho from Tempest (American Korean actor) is the ML in Selfie and I love love love his role. I dont appreciate Karen Gillian's role as much bc she starts as a total whore, but she improves. She acts soooo well and is absolutely hilarious. The receptionist is hillarious too, her kid, and the Boss.... The outrageously hillariuos scene is when ML, FL and the kid stage a fake dance party to tape it live to boost her social media ratings LOL I qih hey put Selfie back on and finish all episodes. Omg it is super fun show and very similar to kdramas in terms o quality of story, acting and messages
The original is a great fashion show and that is the only thing I like about it. The content is complete TRASH. If it werent for the fashion show, the original is ZERO stars drama. ....
it terms of content and acting, it is totall bologney, EDITED LATER: Someone just said Princess hours was before Boys over Flowers...
So BoF is a 100% copy of Princess Hours... BUT WORSE So yeah someone put Princess hours on steroids and made an eneregizer bunny on steroids totally psychotic toxic BoF in BOF, at least the FL was very smart and capable and was not chasing the ML
Abusive psychotic cruel male and a submissive STUPID pathetic female who kisses hus fat as#, an actress who cannot even act, just puckers her lios and opens them and looks anxious and surprised...
Check episode 85 - 17 minutes into the episodeSJ, ever the master of concealment, kept two ledgers — each telling…
Nah i dont think that is it!!! If you want to call it that way, then there are THREE ledgers - the first one is legitimate bookkeeping of the finance department, the second one with secret slush funds that SJ and Chairman look at - that one shows slush funds as if SJ is not stealing from them AND THIS IS THE LEDGER THAT LUCIA'S SISTER STOLE, and then the third ledger just for SJ where he keeps track of how much he is stealing from the secret slush funds, i.e. this is the real state of the second ledger
QUESTION EVERYONE: WHAT HAPPENED IN THAILAND, DID HYE RIM AND SHIN SLEEP TOGETHER IN THAT MOTEL? and apparently, if she didnt leave him (again) he would have kept going on escapades with her?
I believe she will toy with the idea and maybe even attempt it. Or at least something that will jeopardize RealYC's…
Yes I agree.... She might get back to her senses only if she messes royally and gets a karma kick big time - if she is lucky. The way she is going, she will never stop, she is ACCELERATING
Check episode 85 - 17 minutes into the episodeSJ, ever the master of concealment, kept two ledgers — each telling…
See that's why I was asking - I saw that Lucia's sister stole ONE "book" aka ledger, the ledger that SJ brought to show to Chairman at his house. I am pretty sure that is correct bc Lucia later stuck that ONE dark blue folder into SeRi's books above SeRi's bed. That ledger must be the "official" ledger bc SJ was showing it to DMS. at his house
When did Lucia's sister steal the other, secret ledger? SJ would not bring the secret ledger to Chairman's house.... and the two ledgers would not be in one folder.
Ep 85 min 17 regards the info that Mr Moon got from the legit finance department at the Mingang company. The info did not come from the SJ's ledger. I think Mr Moon must have used some info to say things are suspicious. But if he had the OTHER aka secret ledger, he would know exactly where the money went etc. and COULD stop SJ syphoning money out, but that never happened, from what I can tell.
So it seems to me that SJ still has the secret ledger that he keeps for himself only
So I am asking all community to help us figure this out. Thanks.
Yep, they are heading that way and that future is almost there, the country is being run not only by idiots, but…
I love comedy so I watched a LOT of Kay and Peele - my fav is the two of them as church ladies in church talking cursing the devil LOL But I dont like Peele's movies. I find it weird. Some of Kay and Peele comedy skits are weird too.
I LOVE the Twilight Zone :) I think I watched all of them :) Omg they are funny :) and true :)
I checked out the top 10 non-english shows on Netflix and it is horrifying what is there. Truly horiffying Typhon Family is I would say about the only show with some substance and acting and it is somewhere in the middle of the list; and Bon Apettit your Majesty is fun and fluffy and has great acting by ML and somewhat FL so it is worth watching just to see him, and that show is #10.
But the rest of the shows on that top 10 list !!!! are ... wow I would say mostly meaningless trash. Genie Make a Wish had 2 mil views. It is total hodge podge of fast one-sentence 'witty" conversations and fast flying scenery and movement and action. Looks totally dizzying. Trash acting. Looks totally holywood but with asian actors. Gives you a headache to watch that whirwind, the vibe of the Energizer Bunny on steroids, frantic manic activity non-stop
So being ranked high on Netflix imo is a monetary compliment, for sure but not necessarily an artistic compliment but more of something to be worried about, if you care for quality LOL ... Seems like Korean audience is more sophisticated, to be honest, and I would rely more on their ratings to discern quality before watching.
From my research, I learned that a show listed on top 10 of Netflix is a red flag that it might be best to skip that show.
Typhon family is not bad, it's high rating on Netflix seems to be more of an exception than a rule
She does have power - she dresses chairman and listens to what he says...she offers her ideas... she takes care of SR.... most importantly, she helps GC and acts as her spy and accomplice.... .... She is always there, monitoring everyone
That scene between JW and her dad was SO GOOD! I was gagged lmao I can't believe JW would rather disown him than…
I believe she will toy with the idea and maybe even attempt it. Or at least something that will jeopardize RealYC's safety and/or go wrong. WILL she be able to actually do it? Ha Neul might keep her under check - I hope...
Hye Ra and Tae Seok are the couple everyone admires — elegant, composed, seemingly close-knit. But behind the…
totally! Chairman is a true monster, acting sweet on surface and meeanwhile, backstabbing - and how he got her into that gold cage, is 100% criminal based on murder and harming ppl, he tore her from her family and daughter - she is basically his captive slave
Guys, which episode / when did Mr Moon get BOTH ledgers from SJ? I thought he had only one? Apparently he got another one and I missed it. When was it? Thanks!
She could sell her pretty, chaebol, painter daughter as a wife to a bigger chaebol company.
