I wish they would have found someone who looked like Lee Min Ho and had the ability to act. The few dramas I've liked Lee Min Ho in have had comedy elements so he could ham it up. But Pachinko has a subtle, melancholy feel and he can't pull it off. He's got the physical looks for the part but not nearly the acting ability to pull off the character.
People be like CLOY 2 but they're ignoring the fact that the whole NK-SK romance existed YEARS BEFORE CLOY. A…
The plot reads like a drama just a year older than King2Hearts - Myung Wol the Spy. The difference is Myung Wol was clearly part comedy whereas this drama does not have a comedy tag.
This is a tough one for me. I like these types of shows when I start watching them but I'm always reluctant to try them. For example I haven't watched Crash Landing On You.
I'm hoping the directing team and Nam Gyu Ri can pull off a special forces commander finding romance with what is probably a semi-spoiled pop star. Often times the background and stories of characters can get lost in a drama and I hope that won't be the case here.
Looks like Patricia Good to me. If it's really her, it's You Touched My Heart. Show hasn't aired yet though.
You're probably right given it's on Channel 3 and I didn't see anything recent from Push on Channel 3. Ha, pretty interesting they preview their own drama within their currently airing drama.
I assumed it wouldn't be one of the TBAs on his page and that was my mistake.
Anyone recognize the TV show or movie playing in Episode 7 around the 20-25 minute mark as a flashback between a conversation of Sonklin and Saran?
I'm pretty sure the guy is Push Puttichai Kasetsin but I can't place the woman or the name of the show/movie. It looked interesting and I wanted to check it out.
Overall I'd say this show was okay. I liked the female lead and thought she did a good job.
Well... I sort of like Jung So Min and maybe Lee Jae Wook can show something besides his RBF. I've only seen him in Extraordinary You and he was okay but he was a pretty one dimensional side character.
Typical cold male lead who hates but then quickly comes to like the female lead but won't say anything or do anything to show it. And of course he wonders why she doesn't understand him (she's not a freaking mind reader).
The female lead is plucky and never gets discouraged despite the male lead giving her no reason to be optimistic about things. I don't get it. Why are so many characters in Asian dramas complete masochists? Have some self respect.
She makes a really poor man. They dress her in baggy oversized clothing, the few times she wears tight fitting clothing it's usually high-waist pants which no man is wearing in the 21st century, the wig isn't convincing. She has more make-up on when she pretends to be a man than when she is dressed as a woman. It's unconvincing every possible way you look at it.
The side characters are okay sort of but they're so out of focus in the first half of this show that they can't carry this thing.
And why Hari's mom seems very angry at Taemu?? It's because of previous lies told by Hari?
They'll probably keep it simple. Remember Hari's family right after the Geum Hui TV show - mom and dad basically point out marriages are between people with similar backgrounds while the son says something along the lines of "I hope Taemu's family isn't like that" comparing to the family of Geum Hui's love interest whose name I can't remember. Part of me thinks they might also have Min-woo in their mind for son-in-law.
i thought the grandfather is different but he is like every rich family in kdrama
I think we should wait. Grandpa seems like someone who over-reacts but quickly regrets it and tries to make up for his over reaction. I think we will see something similar.
Remember he brought in an orphan in Sung Hoon I think, right? And he always stands up for Geum Hui when he's watching his TV show lol.
There's still 2 episodes to go but I think this has been managed well and it should stick the landing. 12 episodes…
I loved the bribe given to Young Seo. I thought for sure it was money but no, it was a video of Sung Hoon drunk crying about how much he loves Young Seo. That got a good laugh from me.
There's still 2 episodes to go but I think this has been managed well and it should stick the landing. 12 episodes feels right for a simple romantic comedy to me. I've been really enjoying this, the lightness, the comedy and the pace.
I still really enjoy this as a light pick-me-up on Monday/Tuesday mornings. The leads contrast well with each other. The secondary couple are different from the leads. Nothing too complicated... a jealous supporting cast character isn't much of a villain.
I am getting slightly worried about how they extend this for 5 more episodes given how things are moving but we'll see. They've done a good job so far so I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here.

Whenever he gets flustered or surprised he takes a step back and thinks about the situation and then changes his mind.

I can see the conversation being real and then he immediately regrets it and spends the next episode or two trying to undo the damage he did.
