This particular actor was acting the Imugi while he was in Imugi body and he had the reputation of being nasty and he DID do many nasty things, like turn rice fields dead. OK? The fact that later he got hold of a human body and experienced love and a deep transformation and also his good deeds from the past came to light is totally irrelevant to the discussion RIGHT NOW bc it was a totally different actor and a totally different period of Imugi's inner life.

. Right now we are talking about this particular actor being good in roles that require some villain traits, from gray shady all the way to full blown villain. OK? you got it? I really dislike nitpicking for the sake of just disagreeing or being a smart alek. I like when you can hear what I said and what I did not say and what I meant, i.e. when you really listen to what I had to say.

IN fact, this particular actor made the Imugi in Imugi body character really stand out with his villainness mixed with mystery and hidden good deeds and vulnerability. He acted SUPER NASTY, he tormented and tortured FL, and kept recruting her to take over her body, he was very calcualted, greedy and selfish, and he was good to her just to save her for himself - and he tried to possess her because he respected her for purity - but he only wanted to have it for his own benefit. HE IS A VERY COMPLEX CHARACTER, WITH LOTS OF VILLAIN TRAITS bc he is so bitter and desperate and hopeless and that makes him grumpy and selfish and greedy and crude.
THIS ACTOR NAILED IT. 100000%. He made that Imugi character totally unforgettable.

So kiddo, before you get into nitty gritty of it - no, the Imugi is NOT all good. ANd he is not all bad either. But he was behaving really nasty and acting as a real jerk. real nasty dude. AND THIS ACTOR IS GREAT AT SUCH GRAY SHADY VILLANOUS FEELING ROLES

Like in this kdrama. He is not all bad but he is not all good, he is somewhere in the middle towards ... more villain side. In fact, he IS a villain, regardless of his "righteous motives" for what he is doing. He is a very confused and immature person. Just like the Imugi was - confused, wounded, and doing bad things.

To sell drugs and destroy people is evil. Just like Imugi destroying rice fields and turning fall into spring, all rice fields dead, people going hungry, then all the floods etc all the misfortunes he brough. IT IS EVIL TO DO THAT, to hurt others intentionally to hurt and destroy people even their lives.

No matter how "good" the person is underneath it, their actions are just ... EVIL.
Our Imugi was lucky that he experienced healing transformation and started inentionally developing and strenghetning and using his good side, and he permanently changed his ways, and redeemed himself and started a new life.

Another good example is the King from Bon Apettit Your Majesty - he redemeed himself after killing so many people and doing that cheonrong or however you spell it thing LOL and at the end decided to quit the throne to redeem his ways....

THERE ARE LOTS EXAMPLES OF PPL DOING BAD THINGS AND THEN TURNING AROUND

EVERYONE IS GOOD AND BAD AT THE SAME TIME SO THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHICH SIDE GIVES AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT - AND WHICH SIDE WINS MOST CONSISTENTLY

Like in this drama - that drug dealer helper was so kind and fixed the fawcett to FL etc. He CAN be so kind and good and yet he goes around killing people. He is rather nasty

Or Vincenzo - a monster who enjoyed killing and torturing people who found it amusing to also help weak people accomplish justice and decided to keep it as a side hobby - is he good or bad?

Or Tempest - the hot ML who is an admiration of both men and women for "how he is" is actually a paid assassin, killing people left and right, without a blink. Is that commandable to "be" like that... ? What in him makes him such a cold killer yet ppl think he is such a good person?

SO PLEASE GET COMFORTABLE WITH THE GRAY AREA

In any case, my point is, this particular actor is FANTASTIC in shady villanous roles.
Someone else used the words - languid, etc. It is all his forte in acting.

omg it is tiring to talk to someone who is so literal.
So you asked for it. There is my answer about the Imugi and the shady villainous zone where good and bad mix and the lines get blurry, but what decides who you are is WHAT YOU DO.

There are Koreans of all kinds of origins... He has some other influence, I think
Like I am from XYZ but I dont look it, I look Italian or Ukrainian, those are the genes in me that show off the most , I have met ppl who look exactly like me

So which genes show in him, esp in his eyes?

I love ep 5 It is so warm and lovely and humane ... and comical... the scene when they all meet at the police station, or the clueless JP in the rain pagoda with JR .... omg how can he be so blind..... LOL typical male blind...

"break up with Jae Pil instead of TALKING TO YOUR BESTIE. Like, this type of sacrifices are actually one of the most selfish acts. Coz at the end of the day it's not about not wanting to hurt the other person, but it's about not making yourself feel uncomfortable." YES INDEED

I want to know what kind of genetic pool are the eyes of the young detective. He is super handsome and has such beautiful eyes. Yeah he is officially Korean but he has some other genes influence. His eyes look ... Tibetan? Thai? I cannot figure it out... Anyone knows?

Yes she will never be free of his debts if she stays with him. That leech keeps causing problems and sucking her dry. So he is FIRED. Best if he quits himself - either dying or running away as a cheater. She will be free of all future debts and problems he *will* cause. She can handle the current debt without him and start a new life.
Honestly, she is not bad with her business partner, they could ship - well not quite since daughter has a crush on him too
But she can start enjoying her life without that leech of "husband"

Sure, I never said I liked his character :) He is still mostly trashy. BUT he has some good qualities. And he is improving. He is slooooowly maturing :) So it is too early to write him off :)
Also, he is a very capable businessman and construction type work person

FL voice is super awful. She whispers like a robot. She is dead inside. Creepy. Her husband should run away with his office colleague

ML was the loser boyfriend in On Her Wedding Day, and nasty Imugi in Haunted Palace. He is well suited for gray area all the way to full villains. His creeping around her daughter is super creepy

his roles are like that - the loser boyfriend in On her Wedding Day, Imugi in Haunted Palace, etc. He is best as a gray area villain

i think he should either die fast or leave with the friend fast, and leave his wife finally free of that leech who is sucking her dry - her money, her self esteem, etc. SHe needs to cut him out of her life asap i.e. stop the bleeding before he bleeds her to death. Cut the losses and start a brand new life. Perhaps with a younger guy :) Understood?

her husband and her friend have a lot better chemistry, for real :)

but her husband and her friend have even better chemistry :) real chemistry, not chemical chemistry

Sorry.... he can be really charming

I dont like My Golden Life. FL is super insecure

For example: when he saw EH from the car, someone was selling her a bad electic appliance, so JH jumped out of the car and chased the cheater until he caught him and returned the money.
Even when he rudely rejected her, he was going to call taxi for her
JH also volunteers for redoing homes for poor people
JH gave his wedding money to his parents
etc
He **can be** kind
and after episode .... ? 7? when he gets ghosted at the altar and then he goes away and karma hits him... he gets better :)

JH was kind many times

I changed my mind about JH actor looks. When I saw him in Ep 16 sitting around the table at home, relaxed and happy, smiling, talking normally, I concluded he is attractive.
But then when he goes into the snide arrogant mode, he is not :)
That actor is a very very very good actor. It is a good thing to keep him on the screen a lot.

OMG!!!! TH FINAL SCENES!!! THE SCRIPT WRITER MADE THE FL INTO 10000000% BOZO!!!!! Instead of throwing fire torches to save her darling, she yells at him to distract him JUST as someone is attacking him to kill him...
and then...

she picks up a book to read...

AND THEN!!!! instead of grabbing his sword and banging whoever is attacking him...

She coyly stands there clutching the bug and shivers and screams.

COMMON!!!! EVEN AN URBAN CHICK WOULD FIGHT!!!!! THIS BOZO IS A LITTLE GIRL NOT A WOMAN!!!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! CAM THE AUDIENCE REALLY EAT THIS SH##??

CAN THE SCRIPT WRITER BE ANY MORE MALICIOUSLY SEXIST?

CAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC REALLY BELIEVE THAT A WOMAN WOULD BE THIS DUMB, FROM START TO FINISH?

Which century is this, please remind me? Planet Eart, year 2025? Wow ... hasnt progressed at all from the dark ages of patriarhy

Gees again FL stupidity trope - instead of opening her mouth and speaking in clear Korean along the lines of - if you do this, ppl will think you are tyrant and there will be rebellion - she repeats like a cheap robot - you cannot do this....
- and everyone's stupidity - instead of saying THIS IS TRAP GET OUT - everyone says - GET OUT .... so .... dumb.....

OMG the script writer is too lazy

FL is made a COMPLETE MORON who in times of fights is just a stupidest moron ever, a MAJOR LIABILITY as she totally has ZERO survival instinct, she keeps doing the most stupid dangerous things... chasid pot lids, loudly demanding explanations, etc etc etc..... she is the doom of Joseon... a total .... cannot say what I am thinking but it is not polite for sure.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE AUDIENCE WOULD EAT THIS BS.

That is why most of the drama is consumed by food. This script writer just lacks creativity to invent new plot
