I somehow get same kind of vibe watching this as playing little nightmares (especially the cop scenes) ofc little nightmares is so much scarier. I adore the set design and the costume design. Also I think the prop team did a good job (or the CGI?)! The colors are so nice! The color schemes reminds me of Wes Anderson's films.
I know nothing about the historical clothing of this era (or any other...), but seeing those high officials (?) out there with flower patterned gloves just gives me life ;___; <3 Also where do I buy them???
So the K version is not about self-confidence and character growth than her looks but the other way around?
I'm not sure I understand your question ':/ I just remember the k version as a story where the main girl has to have the straight hair in the workplace to be taken as pretty ':D I don't know it has been a long time since I saw it... I just remember that me and my friend really liked her hair and where sad to see it go xD
I think I will forever love the kdrama because it reintroduced me to the song by Carpenters named Close to you. That version is also one of those few dramas that I got to talk about with an actual real life person, which makes some of it's moments really memorable. But thinking about the plot, I don't think I would necessary rewatch it.
However this version does seem interesting, especially if it's more about self-confidence and character growth than her looks! ...But I think I will get a major second lead syndrome D:
I haven't finished this (like 10 episodes left), but I feel like this drama will make me suffer so much later on. Because it's too good to be true!! This fits my tastes like a clove. The story is just on point for me. The romance is just subtle enough for me and I think I just love all the characters. The are believable and don't do anything wouldn't make sense. I haven't been bored. It's hard to know what will happen next. It has lots of episodes. It's a long journey where FL moves from place to place. It has some interesting artistic elements (ok not that much, but the comic style is interesting). It even has a FL dresses as a man 0_0! *smh with awe* Like what is this? Feels like a fever dream o___O. AND WHAT DO I DO WHEN IT ENDS!!??
I came here because people where talking about this and I notice that this has been on my on hold list for two years. I don't even remember watching this xD ??
I have noticed that I started loving this side of the media mainly because the genderbend dramas (where woman dress up as a man, or the man dress ups as a woman). I had a hard time with my gender identity at that time and tbo I still struggle at times. But it was nice to at least somehow feel represented? Idk, I just have always had odd way of thinking when it comes to gender. Ofc to me it doesn't feel odd at all, but it's hard to find any media that supports my ways of seeing it, so I find myself thinking if I really can call myself woman (I'm a woman at birth so it seem odd to say that I have a hard time over this 'xD). So I have been doing a little "dieting", by not watching as many romance dramas, because to me they seem the most 'men are like this:' and 'woman are like this:', or 'if you look like this, you are supposed to like this'. While non romance dramas rarely talk about it ':D (ofc there is expectations).
But yeah this article was a mood in many ways!! It's still kind of gray for me if totally leaving any toxicity out is the right way (not sure if toxicity is the right word, maybe I am even talking about different things). Because if we shelter yourself too much of everything and only watch things that agree 100% with yourselves we will never be open to new ideas etc. But then again I feel like It's mean to think that humans are always ready to get mentally slapped in the face with different views. Most of the time the views even aren't new and just make us(at least me) cry an lose our hopes in humanity. Again, this is really gray. I don't think there is a right answer.
Idk really what I am taking about, but I just felt like sharing 'xD
Personally I started to use MDL because I can add all my watched dramas, but these articles are the reason I like to check this site everyday. So no matter what people are writing, I'm going to check it out :>!!
lol, they make sense though, it's better than to force someone into utter slavery for a good chunk of their lives.
I was going to say that thing are little different in my country , but I actually don't have any idea what it's like in here ':D. Also I respect that view. It does sound scary!!
I get a strong Moomin vibes off of this. Maybe because of the narrator, or the year this was made, or the soundtrack. They all reminded me of being small and watching Moomins out of the tv (I know Moomin is animated in japan).
My stupid dyslectic brain read this as "He later traveled to Paris and learned about BAKING. Upon his return to Japan, he helped build up the first modern bank in Japan."
I was super interested about this 'xD Like how could he turn baking knowledge into banking xDD Sad it was just a misread xD I was already so into this weird turn of events ':D
Also where do I buy them???
