If you watch Faith same timeline as Empress Ki but in Goryeo. The styles there are the hanbok more based on Chinese clothing like the ones here.

This drama made it clear that this whole world is a place of itself. Its not a story thats supposed to be based in Korea.

These kdrama hospitals be so sketch. I am always blown away by the lack of competant hospital security.

Uncle dealt with heart transplant and it was heart breaking!

Did you watch Sound of Magic? For me Sound of Magic solidified that well people are bias. The age difference and circumstance were very creepy to me.

I am hoping in this one though they are both adults. Also Can you hear my voice is a bit more yikes in terms of age difference. An oldie.

In Korea its so easy to call a replacement driver. Not like in other countries or rural places where you cant even get taxi.

I watched on a 110" projector at 4:00am in the morning pitch dark outside and it was creepy.

It was too intamite looking for m🤐

I honestly dont get it. Why is everyone comfortable with this one but not 2521??

In fact this one is so much more creepy.

I agree with the choking. Like what? If a person chokes anyone they have a 10 percent more likely hold to murder said person. If someone ever does that to you file for assualt and get a restraining order ASAP if you can. Or just get away. No contact.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah it was the slow pace. I also felt Live was a bit too depressing with a few too many characters. I didnt finish it.

I love the actors in this one though.

Jeju Island is beautiful as is. But then again we have Jeju Gatsby hong sister drama.

If I didn't like Live should I try watching this after its done airing.

I agree. The direction of it needed to show that first and foremost. The girl was ambandoned by her mom and dad so young. Hello CPS.

She is too vulnerable of a character for me to feel comfortable with an older man giving a helping hand and a stanger at that.

Nor do I think (just finishing episode 2 right now) he can be considered as a guardian figure.

Additionally, post WWII and pre-Korean War. Within South Korea it was those who supported Japan that were able to gain more power in the police and government as they were able to make more of a living before and already had positions.

These people all changed their names from Japanese names to Korean names but were the same person.

Korea's first dictator/president Park went to military school in Japan.

South Korea's Jeju uprising history showing corrupt South Korean police troops commiting crimes against Jeju seperatists/natives was not to be talked about in history until 1990s 50 years after its occurance.

Eyes of Dawn is a facinating Korean epic that opened my eyes to a lot of the elements of Korean history. Which is important as an American Korea like Vietnam is also part of American war history as well as current.

To be honest though Japan's war crimes are terrifing and not PG. 1987 KdramaEyes of Dawn features multiple of them.

Nightmare fuel.

It sure is. The first episodes of Pachinko where they announce the death of the FORMER emporer actually kind of showed how respected the imperioral period still was in 1980.

Sure everyone loves you when your dead but you figure someone would say "he is a war criminal anyways why do we care? Why are people bowing?".

that scene of him chasing the car was traumatic to watch.

It might seem that way but politically in Japan there are still people that deny the war crimes Japan did in China and Korea.

Only in the 70s and 90s was Japanese gov. able to acknowledge such war crimes I believe.
some wikis on war crime denial are interesting.

I think the delay was due to the aspect ratio which looks a bit different

Nobody has mentioned how sad the anti corporal punishment MC girls ending was as well??

Variety show worker? No sleep??

And to think we all saw her going towards an advocate career. *sigh*

Its a shame his only sageuk drama was in a role that really wasnt written for him where he was the 3rd ML to be cast for the role.

Just rewatched Faith and I could definitly notice how the character was meant for Lee Joon Gi

If you can I recommend grabbing your family and watching the drama with them as well. My parents were able to provide relatable family stories and expierences. As well as my family has lived through the late 80s and I have not.

Even parents who don't like kdrama will like this.
