OK, I've almost finished the last ep and it really bugs me that the main character has zero character development. He has a great idea at the beginning to infiltrate the show again, but he has no backup plan in case the tracker is found. That's just dumb. Next, he doesn't suspect player 001 even after being backstabbed in the first game. he doesn't learn anything from past experiences. He reaches the point in the show when his friend tries to warn him about 001, which is unnecessarily interrupted, because what's the point, he won't listen, and he continues with no backup plan again. The rest of the characters have better characters development than him. He kinda fades into the background so his cat and mouse game with the front man does not keep you on the edge of your seat. IMO, it would have been much better if he had figured out who player 001 was and continued to pretend not to know anything to change the game at the end of this season.
I first noticed him in the Psychopath's Diary. He played the villain and he was amazing. Gave me Hannibal Lecter vibes even if the show was a dark comedy. I also watched him in The Glory and was hoping to see him in other roles. I'll have to check out that series, as well. I see it's romance. It'll be nice to watch him play in that type of drama.
Park Sung Hoon is so pretty, I just can't function properly when he's on screen. I hope he gets more roles in comedies. >The man can play more characters than just villains.
I think this movie gave an opportunity to the main actors to really shine. Kang Dong Won and Park Jeong Min were amazing in this. However, the one that really stood out for me was Cha Seung Won, who plays the King. What an unlikeable character! The special effect, fight scenes, costumes, an cinematography are top notch. There are a lot of violent scenes like people's hands and head being chopped off, which I didn't like. Overall, it was a great movie.
For his acting I have the deepest respect and will continue to have it towards his new works; once he returns.…
Honestly, I hope he doesn't come back to acting and stays out of the public eye. It's exactly his celebrity status that has got him in such a mess, and that's why he received such a harsh punishment. It was said so by the court.
In every case, the Propofol was administered by a doctor in a hospital setting, making this insanely severe punishment…
Is propofol addictive? I mean, this article sounds ridiculous. How can you be put in jail for taking a drug prescribed by a doctor unless you've bribed the doctor (in which case both the doctor and the actor would be punished, but that was not mentioned)?
"oo Ah In was indicted for habitual propofol use 181 times at hospitals in Seoul from September 2020 to March 2022, " wait, so, he used meds while in hospital? Does it mean he got the drugs from a doctor? Did he steal the meds from the hospital? I don't get it.
I found the movie to be quite entertaining, with its ups and downs. Perhaps my enjoyment was due to not having…
"Despite this, I really enjoyed seeing Gang Dong Won and Lee Jong Suk together,".. Agree. I was totally surprised by the chemistry, even if the scene was short. Would love to see them in another movie together.
This poor guy is being made a scapegoat only because Yoo Ah In is a well-known actor. It is shameful and incomprehensible…
True! This is also one of the reasons I've stopped listening to Kpop and supporting shows with underage trainees. Seems to me like child abuse, child labor, and exploitation. < Also, any country that treats mental illness and addiction as social irresponsibility rather than what it is, an illness that needs medical help, just makes me sad. What's more, how can you charge someone of smoking marijuana while in another country? Shouldn't that country be the one to file charges?
This movie... ugh. Makes me so mad. Here we have a wonderful cast playing interesting characters with intriguing dynamic and relationship between them. Amazing idea for a story, but terrible execution. I agree with the comments below, this would have been an awesome mini-series. It could have focused on each character (Jackie, Wol Cheon, Jak Noon) and their introduction to Yeong Il, how he became paranoid, to who's the mole, everybody's suspicious etc. The perfect plot twist, in my opinion, would have been that Jak Noon was not dead at all, but that he faked his own death, and was setting everyone up. Also, the Sweeper thing could have been a made-up story by Yeong Il to make sure the others don't leave him. Streamer scenes were completely unnecessary.
