I'm with ya. It's such an intriguing drama and script. And the acting is so intricate. I personally think this is SJK's best work. Hopefully Arthdal with prove me wrong.

i believe they've worked together in a number of dramas so it wasnt an impulse type thing. They actually had a relationship. I luv the guy she married, so if it doesnt work out, I'll scoop him up when he's on the rebound. ;P

LOL Enjoy Ming Lan. :D Its got a slow-pace ramp up. Very intricate show. Just know that the main couple got married last fall in real life. So its got this added benefit of real feels.

I totally get why you paused on FuYao and K2H. Each one went thru its moments where the viewer's head was hurting. ;D

Thanks for the article! I have only watched like half of these. Once u finish WWW, you'll probably add all 3 of the women on it for your part 2 article. And The Story of Ming Lan...the badass component of the FL (Zanilla Zhao) creeps up on you and wham..you realize in the 2nd half that she was one all along.

The strong female lead thing was popular last year in Cdramas, so you'll probably wanna watch Rise of the Phoenixes, Legend of Hao Lan, Story of Yanxi Palace, and Legend of Fu Yao to see what u think, if you havent already.

I also enjoyed Ha Ji Won in King 2 Hearts as a badass from N. Korea. I know some werent a fan of that show for various reasons, but I liked the two leads and Jo Jung Suk had a great 2nd lead role as well. Anyway, it was the story that needed some help as it drifted into some clockwork orange kinda of thing with the bad guy in the 2nd half.

you know i am a dedicated Jang Hyuk fan but silly me, i still havent watched that. I dont know why but the description never jumped out at me. But i gotta watch it! - thanks for the reminder as well as the comment. :D

Rest in Peace. She brought so much to so many dramas that I've enjoyed.

AH HA! So u started it. Yes, he has a wide variety of roles in his portfolio, i'll give him that!... And I know a lot of people didnt like Kill It, but the story was intriguing to me. And, well, he looks fine in all black. I am watching him right now, for that matter in WWW...He's very hot in this drama in tonites ep. I feel like running out and smoking a cigarette although i dont smoke anymore! Anyway, back to My Mister, hopefully its dropped a net around u.

p.s. Here are some other conflicted bad guy roles I think fit the bill that I enjoyed watching:
Song Seung Heon in When A Man's In Love
Jang Hyuk as Chuno
Eric Mun in Que Sera, Sera
Yoo Seung Ho in Warrior Baek Dong Soo
Jo In Sung in That Winter The Wind Blows
Rain in Bad Guy
and most recently....
Jang Ki Yong in Kill It
Yoo Yeon Seok in Mr. Sunshine (I miss this character so much)

Great list! And eloquent writing dear girl! :D I havent ever watch Yamaneko...it got lost here: https://postimg.cc/qg6sDZvk (LOL) I have to jump on that sooner than later. And, of course, SFD is already in my immediate future thanx to your double-underlined recommendation. ;P I watched all the rest and have to agree with you.

There is one thing about Lawless Attorney that distracted me all throughout, though, it was how skinny he was! It made me worry for his real life health the whole damned time. And Woo Do Hwan in Mad Dog: you described perfectly as a scene stealer...I would say his number one scene he stole was this: https://i.postimg.cc/28hTwrX6/tumblr-oy4yvtjkhf1u31qbmo1-250.gif

Keep the articles coming!

thanks for all the hard work on this.

thanks for putting this together. i can see you put a lot of work into this. and probably had to enter lots of them in MDL along the way too. i finally cranked it all into an MDL personal list. https://kisskh.at/list/D45rObg1

i have become kinda disheartened by how many of these start off getting subbed...maybe first couple eps -- then the subber disappears. One i really liked that is just sitting there is Perfect Crime. By the way, do you also track Korean adaptations from mangas?

i feel your pain. especially on this one too.

ahh, i get it. sayonara! am off to dramaland.

Oh cool about watching the profile video! :D OK, I just threw together this NEW list of a bunch of my favorites that i can recommend. The top 3 are my top 3. The rest is in no particular order. They are all good!
https://kisskh.at/list/P4Y6NRW1

ahhh, yes i have that one list that is for heavy dramas..https://kisskh.at/list/O389MAg4 ....my to do list. Let me look at your lists and see what u've watched and i can quickly give u a good handfull. If you havent watched Secret with Ji Sung, hop on that. My Mister is another. BRB.

good- thx for the review. this has been on my PTW list for awhile. did u watch it somewhere with decent resolution?

same! i have banned her from my viewing after hwarang!

i would sure love to but when i click on any of the links i am taken to a clk.sh screen. i ignore that i am at an ad page and select to download but it takes me to another add page for a converter. can u double check to see if this is what you meant to link to?

The comments are all over the map on this.....yours map to my reaction and expectations as well. Now, I am watching after discovering him in Kakafukaka, so i did have a little bit of an expectation of him being capable of drawing me in with his portrayal of a character. Both these dramas have communication-challenged characters so there sure is some similarity. I am still processing it a bit, but i found it pretty intriguing.
