Well, ep 15 of Marry My Husband was a perfect makjang episode.It was so makjang that it was funny to watch.What…
The word originated with a Korean phrase that has something to do with pushing things to the extreme. A whole drama can be makjang or just some have makjang elements. And makjang is not necessarily bad. A drama can be over the top in many ways and yet original and entertaining.
This logic is insane. It took him this long to become an A lister, had he gone 2 years ago, much of his efforts…
It seems like it is only for 5-day vacation and he hasn't been called yet. I can see your point having served for 10 years. Are you in the reserves or full-time service? The SK/NK border needs to be protected at all costs but I can also see his point that he wants to be with his actor friends. He hasn't been called yet. Thank you for your thoughts.
It was impressive as well as not. I don't know. I guess, SSK is being type cast in characters who are "fed-up,…
Agree with you. He is unfortunately typecast. I would like to see a romantic series with him as a main lead. My Liberation Notes had a little bit of romance with him but it was short-lived.
Really good actor - not a traditional pretty boy (but cute anyway) and that is what makes him different!
Ep 1-11 were perfect. Ep 12 was a disaster in every possible way possible!
Good heavens, the writer threw in all the old tropes: bad mothers, bad mothers-in-law, big white truck, killer ex-girlfriend, nasty grandfather, and the FL playing the noble idiot!
How could a writer do that to us? Well, I hope ep 13 will improve. Ep 12 reminded me of the old soap operas of years ago.
Here are 3 almost perfect series that writers didn't have to resort to exaggerated tropes. 1) Hidden Love 2) Road Home and 3) My Little Happiness.
I was hoping that Marry My Husband would be included.
Before ep 12, I was going to score it as an 8.8/10. Now, 8.0/10.
loved it in the beginning but my interest has been steadily declining since ep 10. what is this forced conflict…
Agree! I thought it was only me. Toward the end, some writers seem to like to significantly add evil ex-girlfriends or interfering in-laws to muddy up the water. Is there any other way to write a story?
This is adding an old trope - come on writers, adding the evil ex-girlfriend is not always necessary and makes women look bad.
I mean , I would agree that he doesn't look like ML based on a manhwa and he is lackluster in comparision to that…
You are so right - The women are so light weight and seem to drink endlessly that it is painful to watch. Same for the men but at least they are heavier.
So the ML in Parasite lose a lot of money? I wonder why. Poor man. I am from California USA and smoking in our state is really looked down upon. However drinking is common.
Very nice conversation with you Pal123! I'm off for the night.

That poor man - you are so right. He did take bold steps - I've watched Burning at least times because his acting was so good - and the story was so different. Then there is Hellbound - and Chicago Typewriter, and Affair - his talent is endless. In Korea I don't think he will make a comeback - if he knew English, he might be successful.
It was so makjang that it was funny to watch.
What a waste to watch - it was really good until ep 12 and then it slipped down the hill into an abyss.
However, it was entertaining.
Everything will turn out rosy for ep 16 I think.
What happens to the writers who do an excellent job up to ep 11?
Do they hand it over to other writers to finish it?
Oh well, it still was fun to watch but not to be taken seriously.

So sad.
I'll get the courage to watch ep 12 :-)
It was perfect up to now.
As I said in a previous comment, Hidden Love, Road Home, and My Little Happiness's writers didn't have to resort to these tropes or cliches.
I feel so sorry for the ML's role also.
