I finally watched episode 13, and I can see why people is complaining about the lack of Jung in the episode and too much screentime for InHo when we all know he's the second lead. But although this is true, I think this was a great episode specially for Jung as a character and not for Baek In Ho.
Why? Well...
1This is the first time I see Jung speaking his mind to Seol without being scared of it or too aware of his words, he’s freeing himself from his own jail and is not holding up things anymore, and actually he does it many times in the episode which is for me a giant step for his character development. The best part of it is that this sort of “liberation” lol didn’t happen under a stressful situation or with tears or after a shocking event, it just flowed naturally in the conversations he had with Seol, without so much drama.
2 Is the first time I see Jung comfortable in his own skin and that made me feel comfortable too as a viewer (actually is the first time I’ve been completely comfortable watching Jung onscreen)
3 This is the first time Jung said "sorry" sincerely too. Amazing! he's walkig little steps.
Is true that other episodes had more time Park Hae Jin’s beautiful face onscreen, but to me this is one of the most important episodes for his character.
Other important stuff
1 As much as I'd love In Ho and Seol together I think this episode reinforced Jung and Seol's relationship in every aspect, and not Seol x In Ho relationship. In Ho doesn't have a chance there in the love triangle.
2 That last hug at the end didn’t speak “romance” to me, it speaks “friendship and family” not every hug or love demonstration has to be romanticized. This drama is way more than a love triangle.
3 I know that Baek In Ho is the second lead. But he’s the second lead in the love triangle plot, not in the whole drama plot. Actually he’s also main lead like Jung or Seol. And this episode didn’t focus on the romantic aspect of In Ho’s life, but in the struggling aspect of In Ho’s life as someone who is trapped in his own mistakes and (as Jung) also is trying to get out in his own way. So he deserves to have his story told too, as Jung also deserves it.
I can't agree with L from this list tho... The rest I haven't seen them only the guys from boarding house who were all really good...Hyungshik in High Society was perfection, also other idols that are not in the list like YoungJae who did a great job in School 2015, Eunji is amazing too, Siwan from Misaeng is gold, pure gold! D.O from Exo did a fantastic job in I remember you and also in It's okay that's love, Hyeri from Reply 1988, Siwon wasn't that good before but in She was pretty did a lovely job with his character. Hoya, Lee Joon, wow now that I think about it there are many idols who are also great actors so that mindset that idols can't act is really not that right.
never watched any of these but I love the article XD nobody ever talked about this and it's a really interesting topic! I'd love it if you make a second part :)
Prince Sado had a very unfair life, my heart is beyond broken and my tears are everywhere. The ending was wonderful. The acting was perfect also the beautiful ost. Fantastic movie.
This is going to be a long rant...
Up to episode 8 and I absolutely hate everyone in this lakorn (the male lead the most) then the female lead for letting him use her like a sexual toy, he manipulates her by saying he loves her and makes himself pitiful in front of her when she's determined to leave him. Uggghhh
The saddest part is that in the first episode and in the flashbacks their love was so damn beautiful, it was perfect (I wanna cry) and actually until episode 4 I didn't hate Kim so much because although he was acting like a jerk he still had some redemption in his soul. But on episode 5 when they slept together damn! it was the end, he treated her like BS after that (even slapped her) and even with all that, he dared to say that he loved her WTF. I think I prefer seeing him hate her out of the revenge feelings towards her brother (and at the same time feeling regretful for his attitude towards her) than seeing him "love" her with that kind of trashy love.
Actually every man in this lakorn is a total jerk, except for her boss who is absolutely lovely (so far) and if I were her I'd give him a chance haha... And to be honest I don't even hate the crazy fiancee because although she's a bitch, she's better that the male lead (damn he's the worst, I think is clear how much I hate that guy lol)
Well, despite of the amount of stress this drama gives me I'll keep watching because I can't wait to see what is gonna happen to him (I hope the worst ending for him honestly lol) and because I'm really interested in the murder case. Let's see what happens.
OMG! This was the best season of these series so far. I cried and laughed and felt my heart warm and had a smile on my face while watching each episode. The episodes were really long but I never felt the need of skipping because it was worth watching.
I really need another season of Reply this year... Maybe set in a time more in the past like the age of the Korean war (maybe ?) Or a season set in the early 2000's which is my period of time and I probably could relate better to the events. Anyway, it really doesn't matter because Reply is always relatable no matter the age. I just need another season this year! that's all I need!
