We're all entitled to our own opinions, and how people view things may not be absolutely the same. Besides, if this world is full of people who have the same views, opinions, and principles, then how boring would the world be? And our views may align relatively but not absolutely.
She's a wonderful actress in my opinion, and if you want to compare ha joon's acting to ryeo won's, then I'd choose ryeo won. Jung ryeo won has been in the industry for almost two decades, or has it been two decades already? Anyway, she's been acting for years, and no matter the role she takes up, she always delivers. She has the experience. But of course, actors are not only judged by their experience but by their talent. Jung ryeo won happens to possess both. So, I haven't find any fault with her acting. wi ha joon is also doing well with his role as jun ho.
It's natural for her to feel a bit insecure, she's still a teacher, after all. During those times she was tutoring jun ho, he was still a teenager, not an adult. So, it's only natural for hye jin to think that he's still the high school boy who used to rely on her. Actually, it's not just her, almost every teacher would feel the same. To treat your student as an adult takes time, especially when that student happens to be her first student. It's only natural for her to be overprotective of him. So, I'd say they weren't forced smile, she just didn't know how much an adult her first student has grown to be. She didn't know before, but now she does. Many misunderstandings were cleared in episode 6, I don't know if you've watched it.
Yes, hye jin being against jun ho's recruitment is a bit irrational. But I think we've discussed this before, she just didn't want him to make a decision because of a "spur of the moment".
It's not only because she knows jun ho is capable. She'd never offer her position to anyone no matter how capable or intelligent they are, but when it comes to jun ho? He's different, he holds a special place in her heart. I'm not talking about him being just her student, its more than just that, she just didn't know what those feelings were. Besides, what does being the face of daechi chase mean? It means, she's the most needed and important person that the academy can't afford to loose, but she just gave it away to her student just like that? Do you think that makes sense? Remember she told jun ho these words, "you're my competition from now on."? If she did see him as a rival, why did she willingly hand over her position as the face of the academy to him? It means, she never meant all those harsh words in the first place. She just wanted to know whether jun ho was really sure about his decision of switching career.
"A man with a woman's concern, bonds, all of those merely act as burdens." Those were the emperor's word after CPP left his room. I think he's plotting to get rid of CPP. He's a paranoid one, he doesn't like it when an official possesses too much power, too much power to the extent that it could rival his authority. And CPP happens to possess to that kind of authority. Will emperor Qing throw away their many years of friendship because of his paranoia?
I saw your review, I liked it as it's very detailed, although it's very lengthy just like your previous reviews. I already know it's your style. I liked it because having "diversity in opinions" makes the world more interesting. But I don't quite agree with what you said. Don't think it's because I've watched more of jung ryeo won' drama compared to wi ha joon, I'm just being honest, that's all there is. You said ha joon's acting is better than ryeo won's acting, in what way exactly? From my observations so far, ryeo won is doing excellently well, her facial expressions are spot on. And maybe it's because you skipped too many scenes that's making you criticize her so. She doesn't force herself to smile when she's with jun ho, neither does she puts on a facade. She's just trying to make sure her student makes the best decision for his life. Furthermore, she was the one who recommended jun ho as the new face of daechi chase, she did so knowing full well her poster would be taken down once her student is the new face, but she did it anyway, and why? Because she cares about him, she wants him to climb higher in life. Jun ho doesn't know this fact, I guess she told the director not to mention her name.
You seem to be emphasizing on the forced smile. Hye jin is the type of person that's not so carefree, she's a blunt person, she's a bit over caring, I guess. But I consider these as her qualities, instead of flaws cause we have different personalities.
In my opinion, ryeo won is performing her role excellently, she hasn't disappoint me thus far, on the contrary, I'm quite impressed with her acting. And I'm still very much interested in the romance that's going to bloom, looking forward to their awesome chemistry. If they had proceed with romance right from the very first episode, then it'd be too unrealistic. Their relationship has to develop gradually for them to have a lasting romantic relationship. If you liked "Melancholia", there's no way you won't like this one.
The reason I gave "twenty again" 8.5 was because she eventually dropped out of university. I mean, she studied very hard to get into a university, but what? She dropped out? Why? If she was going to quit, why did she go through all those troubles?
If you think your comments are a bit too lengthy, you may try summarizing it a little. A detailed that's not too lengthy would be fine. But it's okay even if you can't summarize it.
I saw them, just not sure which episode those scenes will happen. I hope he appears soon, season 2 is slowly approaching its end. Aside from FX, Wu Zhu is my most favorite character.
Yes, You are right. The emperor is Fan Xian biological father. Fan Xian discovered his real identity in season 1, but I think the emperor doesn't know that Fan Xian has discovered his real identity but is just not saying anything.
He doesn't , every kdrama he has done after the heirs are average and below expectations.. I am not his hater…
Of course, you're right, if everyone in this world agree on everything, then how boring would the world be? In my opinion, I think his acting is top tier and excellent. So, I didn't notice what you noticed.
Actually the only one of his four fathers who seems to consistently treat him as one is surely CPP. The Emperor's…
They're indeed the emperor's red armored guards, they were granted to FJ for his protection. He can only use them for a handful of tasks, he doesn't have full control over them unlike how CPP has full control over his black armored guards and master shadow.
I think he is searching for a certain place or places where he went with Lady Ye to recover his memories. I am…
Yes, I remember he went in search of his lost memories. Speaking of trump card, you're right, he's indeed FX strongest trump card. Wu Zhu is practically undefeatable, his skills is unrivaled, even the great masters can't defeat him. And I think he can use the four great masters techniques if he wants to. Remember when he used the front and back sword technique, the exclusive technique of Si Gujian, enuch Hong thought it's the first desciple of Si Gujian.
The prime minister is indeed still a threat to FX at the moment, so he can't afford to let his secrets be discovered. LRF will no longer be a threat once FX takes over the imperial treasury and the overwatch council. One thing is for sure WZ is going to appear a couple of times in season 2 as he's in the opening theme, but just not sure about how much screentime he'll have.
Yes, no ra is indeed better than soo hyun. She's decisive, she was a bit clingy at first, but later gathered her thoughts together. But soo hyun? I just couldn't fathom what she's thinking. It's surprising she forgave her sister and cheating husband. Yes, comprising on hating them is one thing, but not divorcing is another. She's too soft and kindhearted for a FL of a revenge drama. I guess she's the most forgiving and indecisive FL I've come across in revenge plots.
Ahn's style of directing dramas is indeed somewhat "unique". Most of his dramas are slow burn, but I'd say he's a pretty good director. Except for the ending of "secret affair" that was somewhat twisted, overall, it's a very interesting drama. So, you could say it's his "unique" style of directing, and I'm sure other directors have theirs too.
Really? Did I give "remarriage and desires 8.5? I thought I gave it a 9, I'll edit my ratings after I send this reply. I don't know, in "twenty again", I felt something was missing, just couldn't explain what that was, which is why I ended up giving it 8.5, but as for the acting, it's needless for me to say how great the acting is. Each character performed exceptionally well in their respective roles.
I guess, I'll be checking dramacool to see the supposed "masterpiece" "it was sudden like a storm".
I haven't watched "the midnight romance in hagwon" episode 5 yet, but will watch it soon. To be honest with you, I also want to see romance bloom quickly cause romance is not only stated in its genre, but also in its title. So, I hope ahn will give us a quick romance this time.
Defeating the white haired witch is just a matter of time, but I hope it'll be sooner than expected. That reminds me, did you remember the scene in episode 5 preview where the white haired witch asked hye jin to work for her? I just remembered it now.
You want me to be honest? Fine, I'll be blunt, your replies are lengthier than most users. But I wouldn't refer to it as "overly talkative". Although your comments may appear verbose but they're very detailed.
Because he wants FX to take over that’s why he had him supervise LMC punishment. As FX said later, the emperor…
Ye Qing Mei cared for the people and I don't think she'd have loved emperor Qing if he was like that from the get go. I guess being emperor turned him into a cruel person. Whether it's the imperial treasury, the overwatch council, or the current authority he has now, all those was possible because of FX mother. The least he could do is protect and love her son, but he only cares about expanding his authority. FX has never had some peace and quiet ever since he arrived at the capital. He's getting tired.
Actually the only one of his four fathers who seems to consistently treat him as one is surely CPP. The Emperor's…
That's a very good description. I'll add the other two. WZ- the mysterious and extremely skilled father who protected him till he became an adult and eliminates his archenemies. Fei Jie- The caring father who's mostly not around, but is ready to sacrifice himself for FX anytime.
Actually the only one of his four fathers who seems to consistently treat him as one is surely CPP. The Emperor's…
CPP is the kind of father that wants FX to have unrivaled authority and the highest position possible, "do whatever you want, I'll take the blame", that's the kind of father he is. I'm sure FJ also protects FX in secret. Do you remember when he gave him a group of elite soldiers to excort him to northern qi? That alone proves he's doing what he can, but I guess he's still lacking.
But the emperor? Don't get me started, he's the type of father who sends his own son into a place where he'll be cut between a rock and a hard place, expecting him to charge his way through without giving the slightest help. Furthermore, he's hates it when people gets out of his control.
