Love movies

I'm watching "A Calm Sea and Beautiful Days with You 9.4(909)" It is a wonderful 1036 romantic historical J drama- I would recommend it highly unless you don't watch J dramas. I'm also watching Good Boy on Prime (Amazon). An ultra-violent series that is both comical and serious at the same time. I'm not watching the Woman Who Swallowed the Sun Yes, Our Golden Days is coming. I read about it, but if it is as bad as Eagle, I don't know. It has many episodes, right?

Of course, I will stay with you, Nexe! I'm just massively disappointed in this series, but we'll talk about it till the finish. At this point, I would give it a 7.5 or so - we have a few more episodes, like 6 or so, we will hang together!

At this point, it has been a waste of time for me. I doubt that the producers or director will explain why the direction this show has taken.

I agree with you. Netflix, etc, lose the quality that one gets from Kocowa and Viki.
However, I enjoyed a few Asian shows on Netflix, for example Hidden Love and a few others.
So it is a mixed bag. It is hard to compete with big-money firms like Netflix. Sad in a way, but I use both Netflix and Viki, and I also like J and C dramas too.

Hi Nexe!

Believe it or not, I spent some time rewatching parts of Love at Night!
It came out in 2021, and I skipped portions of the series when the 2nd couple came into the picture. But the main couple's romance was fun to watch.

Terribly disappointed in Eagle - at this point I can't take it seriously or even lightly;u so the mil's acting was refreshing to watch.

Her acting is believable and professional. I agree.

Thank you! Jung Il Woo is one of my favorite actors.

There are some excellent C Dramas. When they are good, they are excellent. For example: Hidden Love on Netflix. Meet Yourself is another one. If a C drama is good, the series are more comprehensive than K dramas. It's just that MDL dedicates itself to K dramas more than any other Asian nation.

Just a question: I didn't quite get what your "I go to the source" meant. What source are you referring to? Thanks.

I 1000% agree with you. I had never watched the FL in any acting, and so I didn't expect much, but I got much less than I expected. I had only watched ML in two series, but I enjoyed watching him.

I just finished rewatching (parts where only the main leads, not the side stories), Love at Night, a 2021 C-drama. The side stories took up too much screen time, the main couple was wonderful. There are several other C-Dramas that are really good that I have watched - MDL mostly features K-dramas. But C dramas and J dramas give an entirely different perspective. We can discuss this offline too.

No you are just being evil :-)
It's just that we expected so much from the beginning of the series, only to let us down now.
I agree, I think they chose the wrong actress - the ML was great - no complaint against him.
As I said, no one will ever know what really went on behind the scenes with the writer, the director, the producer, and the actors.

Eagle, just turned out to be a flabby series all the way around.

However, it might end gloriously, 5 weddings in concert! We might even get a kiss at the end, assuring that all the boxes are checked.

The series will be forgotten, except for a few good actors, despite the lines they are given.

Exactly, something went wrong behind the scenes. Why did it start with a bang and end with a slight whimper?
We probably will never know.
The actress herself has a lot of videos on YT showing her home, her possessions, etc - she's quite enthusiastic. So what happened?

I fast forward most of the scenes now!

The series have gotten worse and worse and worse! Again, you said it well the writing is bad. The acting is bad and I’m just fast forwarding some of it at this point which surprises me since I would never have done that when I first started watching this series.

It has turned from a fresh, wonderful series that it once was into a dull, dumb series as it is now. I even skipped parts - what went wrong with the writers?

Thank you for the explanation! Makes sense!

True, one could always drop it!

Ep 12 was super violent, but the whole series is fun to watch.

If I had written what you just wrote, I would have felt that I expressed myself well!

I'm enjoying this series a lot. Yes, it is ultra-violent in episode 12, it is partly romantic, but it has a quality that I have not seen before. The acting is exceptional. The camera work is great, the storyline makes sense, but this series is not for the squeamish, not by a long shot.

What a difference in Park Bo Gum in the series "Encounter" than in "Good Boy". I hardly recognized him in Episode 12! Great acting!

Thanks again!

Actually, I like the drama- so there! :-)

It was good for you to share - it helps all of us. Thank you for saying what you said. You are right, One thing the affluent can do is to support Dementia research. Others can do the same.
