Love movies

I think the writers almost have gotten rid of the "Big White Truck" trope but still, the phone call interruption is still there - annoying!
Oh so many others, the wicked ex-girlfriend that wants her man back....I can go on forever and we all can!

You are welcome!
I hope someday, someone will write an article about the overuse of tropes.
There are some series that are just driven by tropes.

Again thank you!

Darn, you are so 100% right.
Let us, for once, get a mature series that is sensitive and well-written, minus the over used tropes..
Thank you for saying what you just wrote.

Well said.

Very well written - very few overused tropes, thank goodness.
A fresh new look for a K/drama.
However, I like the acting of Ji Jin Hee very much.
He portrays the "gangster" and the "softie" both at the same time.
He was wonderful in Designated Survivor, a completely different role.

All 4 are struggling - He thought he could buy his way in with money.
I'm hoping for a happy ending, whatever that means.

Thank you for writing such an interesting article.
3 min/episode and filled with violence - no wonder it is rated so low.
You were brave to write such an interesting article - thank you so much!!!

I like it too! And very few tropes!
I like Ji Jin He's "tough" acting in this series
We all want to know where he got all the money.

Thank you for saying that - this is an open forum - some commenters get out of shape when someone criticizes a drama. They sort of take possession of a drama and any criticism is a no-no.

So far, ep 1 was fun to watch.

Well said! I too don't like the childhood best friends trope but for now, these scenes are short and to the point so they don't bother me as much.
Yes, the mom beating an adult daughter is foreign to me. It is not like she did anything wrong It is because the mother kept bragging about her daughter and now she got caught.

So far so good- I hadn't seen Jung Hae In since I watched "A Piece of Your Mind" and he looked different to me. Still nice looking though and such a good actor.

I used to watch only K dramas but the more C dramas I watch, the less K dramas I watch.
C dramas have too many episodes but are usually quite interesting in their chosen subjects.
My favorite C dramas are Hidden Love, Road Home, Fireworks of My Heart, and many others. I generally find that K dramas are a bit shallower than C dramas.
I'm currently watching You Are My Secret - a nice C drama.

Thanks for your reply!
she has no shame - I bet she will continue until she is stopped or fired, one way or the other. I think her harm will be building up as the episodes go on. Scary that she is still around in the intro!
Why does there always have to be a woman in these dramas who wants to disturb the natural pace of things?

ML needs to be frank with her - He's very businesslike with her but she needs a more direct message from him.

I know he is trying to be professional but one can still be professional and be more direct with her.

I don't think she will even go away if he is direct - it will take more, whatever that will be.

Well said, thank you!
That woman is annoying and treacherous. She wants ML at all costs.
I hope we don't have her hanging around until the end.

Very, very well said. Thank you so much!

I just watched it!
My the Influencer is sure a live wire :-)
Interesting conversation - I enjoyed watching it, and thank you!

Thank you so much - I will watch the UT video - am anxious to watch it.
I'm on ep 7 of Serendipty's Embrace - on Viki. There are 8 episodes.
Nice drama. So those are two that I would recommend.

I'll watch the video and get back to you again, thank you so much.

Thank you! This is such a lovely series.

I'm ep 3 of You are My Secret -
This is a real departure for Wei Zhe Ming!
He usually plays the cold CEO that finally defrosts.

Up to now, this is a lovely series to watch. It is so different from other C/dramas.
The FL also plays an interesting role.

I'm so glad I found this series.

Thank you for your thoughts above.
Do you remember who the influencer was that also played the character in ELY?
What an interesting thing the influencer said that CJH did a lot of homework and did some ad libs too.
Such a talented actor.

BTW:
I am watching You Are My Secret.
I am on Ep 3 and it is terribly enchanting!
ML is Wei Zhe Ming and his role is not the usual cold CEO - it is a warm, soft role that is so different from the roles he has played.
It is on Viki.

Thank you again for shining a light on Eye Love You cast.

Yes, I was watching some BTSs and FL seemed like a very social and likeable person and seemed to enjoy acting with CJH..
In the series, ELY, she is scared to death at almost every scene except for the very last one.
The fact that she could hear what someone is thinking made her a successful business person (together with her partner)
And her scared personality was even brought up by the ML more than once.
Despite all the events that made her who she was, I was constantly annoyed by her jumpiness, her ever being frightful, and just her mannerisms throughout the series - of course it was planned by the writer for her to be like this, unfortunately.

I would not rewatch this series but I think it was a good watch - the ML made it watchable, and fun in many ways.

It is amazing how one story book could cause so many problems!

Watch Serendipity's Embrance - you'll see another side of his acting. It's on Viki, now.
In Nevertheless, he was outshined by Song Kang - who played a scrumptious role compared to CJH, by writer's design.

I have not watched Love All Play - Thank you for the idea.
I have to say however, the FL, in Eye Love you, is really annoying :-)
Again by writer's design.

Thank you - it looks like it is going to be a fun "romcom" :-)
He is one of my favorite actors - looking roward to it!
