An age gap of 17 years is acceptable and she is 24 after all. She is an adult and free of her choices. It's not like she is 17 and he is 50. I don't mind the age difference as long as the story is good. I don't know the actress but I liked Joo Sang Wook in Birth of a beauty and Cunning Single lady. I'll try that one.
I think seri is such a lovable and funny character but my only issue is with how the writers are portraying her…
She is lovable, funny and very capable but mostly with her attitude, her charm and her words. Not her actions.
When she takes actions by her own hands, it often goes wrong. She goes paragliding, she ends up in NK. She wants to run from Captain Ri, she heads to a land of mines. She jumps over a fence, it is to land into a forest. She tries to shake off the soldiers, it is to end in their village... But when She acts nice and friendly or use her words, she can make people change the pictures of the scandal to profit her business. She makes the soldiers have sympathy for her, hide her, help her to take her to a boat and Captain would even pay more to accompany her further (for her safety of course). She can make an old woman "eager" to help her get a promotion for Captain Ri.
So her strength is more in her schemes, her charm and her words than her decision making for action which is quite reckless. Just like when she went to fetch her paragliding gear (God knows how she did it) but Captain Ri had to go jump with her and save her. He is the guy she needs to go out of NK. They will find a way to do it because she alone playing James Bond to escape back to SK, it won't work. Like Captain Ri said, the result will be... she will be shot by NK soldiers or SK soldiers. So I am ok, she is not taking action .
Captain Ri will manage her charming words and he will protect her from her reckless moves. Together they will smartly maneuver her out of NK.
To everyone crying or upset that LMH is in this, stop being such a Debby downer. If it bothers you that he is…
It is fact LMH is really not one of the best korean actors. Plenty of guys ahead of him. So I understand that some people think a better actor would have been possible. Or maybe they are afraid he will ruin the drama. The plot looks intriguing. I will try it as I found City Hunter pretty decent. I think a good story can save a drama with an average actor or actress.
We haven't seen that yet but I think it will happen soon since there are a second female and male leads.
It would be nice if there is side romance but it is risky for the drama. Some side romance are so good that it is prejudiciable to the main couple. Perfect example is High society where the side couple even gets a better ending. Good side romances are Descendant of the sun or Pinocchio. But the drama needs to give enough character development for the second leads so people can adhere to their love. In this drama, I don't really see where they can start from. The second female lead is not bad so far. She is not an horrible wench just a woman looking for her fiancé. But the second lead guy... he is not really a good guy. I mean he is hiding in North Korea because of some bad deeds related to Se Ri's family. And the way he talks to and treats his subordinates he has a long way before he looks nice and amicable.
So far I think the second lead woman will keep chasing her fiançe she has not seen for 10 years and the second male lead will see Se Ri as a way to go back to SK and settle things with her family he betrayed back there.
For those who are after SeRi for being spoiled , what do you actually expect from a rich heiress!!!!. She is the…
I don't have a real problem with her personality. I think all along, she was someone independent and cunning to reach her objectives. She is not really a rich heiress has she is an illigitimate child and she launched her own business. She does not live with her rich family to suck money from them. She is not spoiled just that she has the references of her own class while being lost in North Korea. She is quite scheming in her business but she does not have intentions to harm people. She just try to put herself in a better situation or adapt herself and save her a$$ using her charm or her sweet words... So far she is quite interesting and funny but true I wish we learn some darker aspect about her past soon.
I love this drama more and more as the new episodes come out. Some scenes were probably won't make sense, but…
The drama is a parody so it is fine that some things are unrealistic or make no real sense as long as they point out at a fact or a truth to entertain or advise. What annoys me is when something impossible is showed as realistic to facilitate the plot. For example what annoyed me recenty was /SPOILER: The fact that she managed to get back her whole paragliding equipment by night when it was supposedly stucked in a tree surrounded by landmines. / what?? What the fu... funny friends.
Is this some webdrama with 12 eps of 10 minutes? That's bad. That actress was great in My secret romance. Why it took so many time to see her again in such small projects. Wish her the very best.
I really really liked this and will definitely continue to watch but I'm curious about something.. I really don't…
South Korea doesn't see North Korea as an "enemy" even if the official status between the two nations is a state of war and they need to prevent any invasion. Specifically regarding the entertainment industry and South Korean's producers maybe there are some official organs to tell them not to do too much regarding North Korean but in the case of this drama I believe they avoided the issue. The North Korea depicted in this drama just does not exist.
/SPOILER. It is a satire, an exaggeration. North Korea does not have any brand new Jaguar speeding in front of the Kims' pictures on the main road downtown city. It does not have any Jaguar parked in the mud right in the middle of a millitary village for days. There is no new brand Range Rover with a (twice) stolen wiper next to a old dated truck. There is no village of the military families. Most of the time, they would live in barracks closed from the outside just like in any military facility. There is no trucks looking like they are from a Mad Max movie. Things are purposely grotesque because this drama is not about telling any truth. It just has a lot of mockery for systems but a lot of affection for people, should they be from NorthK or SouthK. Notice how Se Ri makes jokes about the reunification. It is because beyond the silly or dramatic or unrealistic aspects brought to entertain, it wants to focus on what the korean people really want and the dream they have deep inside of their heart.
This is why it can portray Captain Ri as a nice guy caring for his fellow soldiers who care for him personaly. He is uncompromising but sympathetic for poor children in his village and he is falling for a south korean woman who felt into his arms. And now they kissed! In a real North Korean world, he would be brought to the firing squad. So personally I don't think there is any problem they are developing his character this way. / END SPOILER
