Sure there are instances of problematic exploitation of actor’s bodies. But to say that’s the case every time… The human body is a beautiful thing, both male and female. There doesn't have to be any reason to look at it other than that. Museums all over the world are full of paintings and sculptures celebrating it, Michelangelo's David being the first one to spring to anyone's mind. It's there for us to look at just because it's beautiful. Is it necessary for David to be naked to tell his story of triumph over Goliath? No. But that's not the point of the sculpture. The point is the marble skin, the muscles and veins, the curves and shapes…
I've seen 8 of these. Love them... and I don't even like sports. Special place in my heart for Buzzer Beat (rewatched it several times, no points for guessing why). But by favorite is Tumbling. I mean.... it's about boys tumbling!!
Thanks a lot for this article. I added way too many dramas to my PTW list. I personnaly don't really care which…
Yes, posters would be nice. Much easier to see what's up your alley and what's not. Other than that: just enough information. I don't mind clicking to another page to read more.
Why do the leads Must have a twisted connection in every story. Before it was having a childhood past but now…
Well... fairy tales play a big part in this drama. And practically all fairy tales are pretty twisted, meant for children to get tough I guess, and to grow up. Exactly like our three main characters have to grow up. If there was ever a K-drama in which twisted childhood connections were valid it's this one...
What do you mean by nailed?He also lived the character, was holding in his pain and grudges
I agree with you... KSY lived his character just as much as SYJ and OJS. Difference is his character's emotions are on the inside while the other two's are much more on the outside. All three are awesome, all three "nailed" their parts. ;)
Our leads better get the awards they deserve! They worked their ass off. I'm gonna be bummed if those 3 didn't…
I'm having trouble with starting anything new. Decided to rewatch Stranger season 1 to ease into the new season 2. But every time IONTBO pops up again and I can't quit!!
this drama is very dramatic, so if you like crying like me with dramas then this is it. On the negative side,…
It's dramatic, but just right. I don't think it's overdramatic at all, I rather love the drama and the fairy tale element. It doesn't have any annoying characters. Some behavior of some characters at times might be annoying, but it is meant to be, and those characters learn and change their behavior. I didn't end up hating any characters other than in the context of the story (you know who I mean). The main actor (well... Kim Soo Hyun) portrays his role beautifully, There's a lot of praise for Seo Ye Ji and especially Oh Sung Je, and rightly so. But KSH's part is just as demanding because his character has to be restrained, he has to keep his emotions inside and still convey to us how he feels. His trauma is buried deep yet it is always there under the surface. The pace of the drama isn't slow at all... it does take it's time to reveal all the elements of the story. But there are too many little storylines of all the wonderful supporting characters to ever make it slow. Especially the patients who all get there place in the sun. I even made sure I didn't binge the whole thing in one go because I didn't want it to end... ...and instead of dropping it I watched it ongoing and then for a second time on Netflix...
I also don't mind the main boys ;)
