LoL there are too many ridiculousness apart from what you have listed above and what @realdeal mentioned about…
I really appreciate your insights, and I definitely had the same thought about number 5. Even though dramas will always have creative license (it adds to their edge), I think itβs great that we can still appreciate the differences between fiction and real life β and even learn from them.
I'm not going to lie, up until episode 4, I was thinking about dropping the drama because it was not giving me much feeling, but since the ml found out that the fl is a woman, the drama has really picked up the energy and the tone and the antics. I'm really enjoying it now!
But first of all, I love the cast - my first Takeru Satoh drama that I can remember was Bloody Monday and my first Jun Shison drama that I can remember was Joshi-teki Seikatsu.
I always focus on details, so these notes might seem small, but.
1) I was a bit confused about the joint live performance from the hospital and the concert venue. I just kept thinking the sync would be so off in real life, no?!
1a) How did they set up all the camera equipment on the hospital room so fast? Plus a 360 dolly track rail on the floor?!
2) Why was the whole room lit with candles during the mobile streaming performance?! If you're shooting the video in portrait mode then there's no reason to light the whole room.
All of this to say, I felt like the direction was aimed at the real life audience (us) instead of the audience in the story, There were so many scenes, which I felt were for OUR viewing experience that went beyond the world they were trying to create.
Okay, since I finished it, here are my two cents.This is definitely a good drama but not a great one, unless cinematography…
πThis! This is exactly how I felt too. I even wanted the same things - 'substance' and 'character'. Your drama can't just be vibes and aesthetic! FYI, before the drama had even aired I was ready to ride and die for this drama. But no matter how much I simp the cast, I have to admit that the storytelling fell short of what I was expecting. I think that's why I feel frustrated and took a lot of notes because I love these actors and feel like they deserved better.
I have such a love-hate relationship with Moon Lovers: Scarlett Heart Ryeo. I was so mad with where the ending was heading that I had to nope out of the last episode. Me every time someone mentions MLSHR - "We don't talk about Bruno" π. Anyway......can't wait to see LJG again!!!
This has been a good series but Iβm really ready for it to end. Iβm honestly tired of seeing Park Bo Gum get…
Normally, I love watching fight scenes, and I love PBG, but this is the first time I've shouted at a character to STOP fighting.
I like how DJ applies the life of boxing to his job, but I also wish he'd emphasise the importance of rest and development in sport. At least in Bloodhounds, they knew that they were not strong enough to defeat their opponent, took a moment to bulk up, and then came back stronger.
I am really connecting with Da Eum. In episode 7, when she is overcome with happiness because she is finally in a movie to the point of tears, I really felt that! I also feel in the same way. Like it's just too much to handle. I experience emotions on the very extreme end of the scale. When I'm happy, I'm REALLY happy, and when I'm hurt, I'm REALLY hurt. So even though I know on the outside that Da Eum might seem too smiley and happy, to me that is what feeling looks and feels like. She's just experiencing emotions on a very different scale to everybody else, and it's uncontrollable, and I totally get that.
Iβve been obsessed with Namkoong min ever since I saw my dearest. This man does romance soo well my god πThe…
I've been a fan of his ever since Good Manager. But, based on what I've seen from his previous works most of his roles are action. I think he used to do romance. But he's been leaning back into romance since My Dearest and One Dollar Lawyer. I've also watched him in Awaken, The Veil, and Remember. He gives a an amazing performance in all of them. In terms of talent, I put him up there with actors like Ji Sung. Very reliable actors. It doesn't really matter what you watch because you can trust that they will deliver good acting.
I expected Nanon's acting to be good, but I didn't expect Mind to be so good as well. She's really held her own as an FL, to the point where I have said that I will likely continue to watch her dramas because I have confidence in her acting. There are a lot of Thai actors that I like, but there's only a few whose acting has been consistent and convinced me. Nanon sold me after watching The Gifted, and I think I might now have to add Mind to the list. I've seen a lot of dramas with characters who have Dissociative Identity Disorder, and Mind's is up there with some of the best acting I've seen! I'm really shocked because I feel like she's giving a more-than-average performance for a drama that doesn't have a lot of limelight. I feel like her acting deserves more attention. But anyway, IYKYK. In episode seven, the actress shows that she has really understood each character that she plays and knows them all well enough to switch without the need for fun effects or transitions. That was just raw talent!
Is it okay to ask what the other drama was? I'm always up for another good drama!
Oh, I can already feel myself getting emotional from just reading the plot for Marriage Contract π I'm not brave enough to watch the ending for MLSHR! I got to the penultimate episode and was like nope, nope, nope, nope π!
