S1234

I always seems to be hung up about a Korean drama and a western drama at the same time. I love this one and inventing Anna. Both are similar in that they feature strong female leads, strong focus on the profession (weather forecast vs. journalism), breaking prejudices. (Weather forecast - women are made of daisies and rainbows and fluff. Heaves forbid if they have sex, how horrible for them to be like this). Inventing Anna (how can a pregnant women still care about her job, she should hang her boots and only care about decorating her nursery.) needless to say I am so happy for this month of February for such great content.

I actually think mydramalist needs some moderating. Especially since there is huge downside slip in ratings if the angry ragers go on rampage for a particular drama.

Yes he is like shin se kyung. Not good actor but pleasant screen face. I mean the Rock no one ever suspected him of acting but he is a part of billion dollar franchise.

My theory is that Moon Geun Young got mentally affected by Village Achiara. It was her last drama for a long time and she fell ill afterwards. Village Achiara is also my most emotionally disturbing and nerve wracking drama. It was horrifying.

Yeah. Especially Cha Eun Woo. Lee Min Ho has been consistently bad for over a decade now.

Yes I cannot just cannot watch park shin hye. I wish someone brought Ha Ji Won back I miss her.

Park shin hye, Song hye Kyo appear to have the exact same three expressions (sad, straight face and surprised) in all their dramas. Shin Se Kyung also cannot act but she is cute and bubbly and has good screen presence. But then I guess our opinions are subjective and many will disagree with us. Similarly I never understood why Song Kang is dissed since he does act well.

I like historical stories with tragic heroines. So I watched the Duchess (Kiera Knightley) and this one almost at the same time and remember thinking about these stories for days after watching. Both the actresses were phenomenal

Exactly

Yes I have watched them all save secretary Kim which I dropped midway since I found PSJ character a jerk (really my personal opinion. I wish I liked it). She is the only actress who can pull off cute, serious, funny and sexy. Other cute actresses can never exude sex appeal but she can. And she was awesome in very tragic and serious, queen for 7 days. I am not emotional but I felt particularly affected when I watched that drama.

Exaclty PMY is playing such a cute character. She apologises and shakes hand. Plus she was totally taken in by the “I smell ice”. I have had cute friends like this who are clueless but actually brilliant. Also the way she speaks with her eyes priceless, some of the scenes where she gets teased playfully her expressions are hilarious. I thought I will never like her more after her crazy cute role in Her Private Life but this is great.

Exactly few of the highest rated dramas descended of sun and beloved summer and Vincenzo all I disliked and could not even watch beyond 3/4 episodes. Whilst I liked nevertheless. Go by your own judgement.

If you like laughing “at a drama” not “with the drama” watch it… it’s insane. Especially if you don’t like the cast since no one makes any sense anyways.

Exactly and once he graduates college, girls will not be fawning over him anyways. People even the girls who follow him everywhere will mature. At work we are all used to seeing super good looking people around us but it’s not anything. It’s how you work. While in college girls do fawn over “dude” type boys. He really did have a lot going for him including the fact that he walked his talk. Only thing was that I was not convinced about the economic aspect of the show. How will these kids make money. Yu Nabi did not appear to have jobs lined up. And it’s weird that for a college show, there was nothing about money and how to earn it.

Everyone is typecast since they carve out a niche for themselves. For example Nam Joo Hyuk only seems to come in retro dramas, Hyun Bin has played a super rich jerk hero in more than 5 dramas, Park Seo Jooon is always the rude and tough guy, Lee Jun Ki is always coming in dramas where he gets to look pretty in beautiful hanboks. Lee Min Ho is always the super rich guy. The only difference is that they are all men.

That’s unfortunately true. At the same time two weeks ago when people were viciously trolling PMY, people were very mean about Priyanka Chopra to the extent that some were wishing Ill about the newborn child too. Strange thing is, before Priyanka almost 10 men from Indian movie industry did surrogacy and not one person had a problem. I literally woke up that day to see WhatsApp groups flooded with people saying mean stuff about PRiyanka and when I opened YouTube I saw mean stuff about PMY. And then I saw Jennifer Lawrence being trolled for Timothee Chalamet when he is just 5 years young and people praising her for starrring with Bradley Cooper when she was just 20 and he was 36. People are really mean and sometimes I think we are still stuck in the Victorian age.

The same double standard people who have no problem If George Clooney and Michael Douglas marry ladies 2 decades younger but troll on social media if actresses like Priyanka marry ten years younger. On YouTube the comments about this drama were very mean. And PMY was trolled. Whilst people had no problem with Bulgasal where I am sure the age difference is around 15 years.

It’s so funny how people perceive 🙂. The only drama I did not like was secretary Kim since I did not like the ceo and the power dynamics were off for me. Loved her chemistry with socially awkward healer version two, and with Yoo ah in sungkunkwan (no romance but the friendship was great)

I loved this episode superb chemistry. I also am loving the mom, her reaction is priceless. Another thing is that despite being a noona romance they have not made it a big deal about age neither is there too much power distance. I don’t like how they sometimes show the male lead too weak if it’s a noona romance for example encounter (it was a bit weird). My best noona romance if I can call such was Proposal, Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. In that movie he was the only one who could handle her crankiness. Other age difference romances are marriage contract UEE and Secret Terrius which had equal power balance. Loving this drama so far

As someone who is south Asian myself but lives in east Asia, I can assure you that East Asian government employees take their jobs more seriously than corporates. For example in Singapore post office staff work 8 am to 9 pm and even on weekends. I have witnessed them being in the line of fire by bosses. In New Zealand A kiwi citizen can actually file a case against you and demand a rundown of each minute you spent at government office, to see if you are not wasting tax payers money. I have worked with a lot of government agencies in ASEAN and Aus and NZ and have been answerable for every minute including washroom breaks. In comparison at least the employees in this drama seemed more free they could take coffee breaks. Plus it’s a sense of responsibility they are indirectly in charge of peoples lives since weather discrepancies have killed people think of 2006 Tsunami, Fukushima disaster and Hurricanes in USA. These people do have an important job.
