I'm usually not one of those girls who go crazy about actors looks but...I'm only human..Joo Sang Wook and Jung Gyu Woon in the same drama... I didn't even read the synopsis. I just don't care about the plot.
What....everybody has the right to have a drama just for the eye candy once in a while!
So far I'm really enjoying it. They're taking liberties but I feel like the heart of the drama is still there. I like it that way because I don't feel like I'm watching the same drama over again. Also, (so far), they're not doing the things I don't like in jdramas (like exaggerated facial expressions) so I'm happy about that.
Also, I'm enjoying Lee Sang Yoon in a darker role. I was afraid he'd play the same character that he has been playing for years but it turns out he's not and I'm really thankfull about that. I'm also enjoying the main female character a lot better in the korean drama. I feel like she has more layers in her personality.
I haven't watched this drama yet but I personally, I thougt she was amazing in The Princess' Man and History of a salaryman. I can't wait to see her in another drama and I hope she's get more main roles from now on.
I feel bit uncomfortable with the main couple's age gap :/ (not the actors though, i'm used to it, just the characters)
I don,tknow, what is the age different between them in the drama? 8-10 years? And from what I understand, Krystal's character is in her twenties. My mother was 18 when she met my father who was 25 and had a son and they were very happy together. My uncle had a lot of relationships with woman his age and they lasted. Then, one day when he was in his early forties, he met a girl at his job who was in her very early twenties. At first, I was kind of shocked and didn't know what to think but since then it's been almost 10 years and they're both happier then they ever were before they met each other. I know that the whole ''age is just number'' is kind of cliché but to me, when both persons are adults and love each other, age difference is not that important.
I've only watched two episodes so far but I have to say I'm pleasently surprised. There is nothing really ''special'' about it, but ( so far) eveything they do is done right. I was never a big fan of Rain, especially when it comes to acting but so far he's doing s pretty good job and he has show a lot growth since his Full house days.
While in real life I could never root for for Hyun Wook and Sena( because of the whole sister thing)' in a drama I can get pass it if it's done right so I'll have to wait and see. I think they've got some chemistry and from the episodes I've watched and the fanmade videos, I don't see the chemistry between L and Krystal that a lot of prople( maybe even, most of the people who watch this drama) see. I guess it comes from the fact that once again, I don't buy the second lead acting. I love L as a music artist but he has failed to convinced me ( yet) when it comes to his acting.well, he still has 14 episodes and many more dramas to do so I guess. Also, his character annots me so far but maybe I'll grow to like him better and the next episodes but I'm not sure I can pass the awfull first impression I've got of him.
I don't know what to think about these ''old tricks. I do feel like some of these dramas aren't that great and may not deserve all the attention they got and I do feel like they're a lot of underatted dramas that should be more popular but that's just my opinion. I'm not korean. I'm canadian. I haven't watched dramas my whole lfe, It's only been a few years, so my opinion about what makes a good or a bad drama is probably different from what (most) korean people think. I mean, yes, they like their Makjang & Sageuk. A lot of time those dramas repeat the same old tricks yes but hey, that's just the way it is. They like what they like. I like what I like. You like what you like....There is no ''good answer'' here. We all like what we like. We have different cultures, different tastes and that influence what we like in dramas, music and many other things. Maybe one day ''original'' dramas will have better ratings, but until then, I'll just keep loving the kind of dramas I love. And by that I mean....pretty much all kind of dramas!
Nope. Many episodes later, I'm still bored to tears with Nam Goong Min's characters. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he has two facial expressions in this drama (and INR3). He's so attractive and chaming however. I guess nobody is perfect...
I recently started this drama and I'm surprised because I thought I would root for Nam Goong Min like a lot of people seem to do since I've always liked him (okay, mostly because of his charming smile!) and I wasn't a fan of Jin Yi Han in Empress Ki but so far, I'm really leaning towards JJH! I feel like he has much more charisma in this drama than his previous works. I'm a little dissapointed by LGM because his acting feel the same than in I need romance, it's almost like he's playing the same character and to be honest, I almost can't see a difference between his character and his ''real'' personality on We got married. I hope that my opinion will change since I still have a lot of episodes to watch and I'd love MY Secret Hotel to be one of the rare dramas where I kind of root for both male leads!
Yes! It's one of my favorite dramas but I feel like I would like a korean version even more because some parts were a little too ''eccentric'' and ''crazy'' for me. Like in many japanese dramas/movies I've watched. There's nothing wrong with that of course but it's not really my style.
Well, they do look well together but other people said, her role need to be really different from her her previous ones. She has potentipal vut she need more complex and interesting roles.
To be honest, a lot of my favorite dramas are dramas that most people have called ''slow'' and ''draggy''. To me, ''slow'' dramas alow me to get more attached to characters and more connected to the storyline because the flow of the drama feel more natural.
Yes, I felt the same way. I loved the actors, the characters and the storyline at the beginning and for the first half of the drama, it got me very excited but then I just got bored because it was repetitive and not in a good way.
