I’m watching bits of Oshin as I’m watching other asadoras and I suddenly recognized as the grandpa in Hanbun Aoi. He played a soldier in both series surprisingly. Both parts were also very touching and I fell they will leave an impact on me.
Complaining about the age gap between the leads seems kind of pointless to me. This is an obvious case of stunt casting. Producers were hoping to drum up viewers by casting two stars of the very popular Meteor Garden. Getting two actors from the old and the new one opens it up to an even wider range of viewers.
I don't really know anything about face blindness, but can you just be magically cured of it one day lol. Anyway, finished the series. It's okay but too different from the original.
I think she was as well needed to be the stand in for the main leads death. I liked, how they used her to take…
I’m sure the writers thought she was needed for that reason too. They used her as a plot device, instead of fleshing her out like Min-hwan and Su-min. So boring 🥱
I’m a little disappointed in the drama, but it had a nice ending at least. Yu-ra ended up being a throughly useless and nonsensical character. Min-hwan and Su-min were definitely the better villains.
Eng subs also appear to be in progress with only two weeks to go: https://www.d-addicts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=165875
