Jank Uk crying during his wedding is actually quite in character I’d say. He knew Naksu/Cho Yeong/ Bu Yeon wouldn’t have long to live (thanks to Seo Yul’s confession), but was still grateful to be able to marry her and be with her even for a bit of time. During the wedding scene, you can see his heart is both happy and agonising over the future. His red and almost teary eyes made the scene so much better IMO.
The scene where both Bu Yeon/Cho Yeong and Jang Uk know that she’s Naksu, but can’t actually voice it, was heartbreaking. Both LJW and GYJ were teary eyed, so close to simply crying, but not allowing themselves to do it because there are important things to do for Daeho.
Generally Lee Jae Wook is a great actor and he’s certainly won me over with his portrayal of Jank Uk. Can’t imagine another actor playing him. His chemistry with both So Min and Youn Jung was off the charts.
While I do agree that their current relation setup and meetings are weird and not gonna work in long run .Ig they…
Well, Luna doesn’t remember anything from her early childhood either, so they could have been like: “Surprise, you’ve got a long lost twin”. I think she actually would’ve gotten along really well with JTE, so in the long run, it would’ve all worked out.
Alchemy of Souls (1 & 2), with its ML Lee Jae Wook & 2 awesome FLs, has single handedly reawakened my love for K-Dramas, even for C-Dramas. I’ve rewatched AOS1 & AOS2 about 4 times now in 2.5 weeks. How insane is that?!
Did you understand the fact whether Do Jun & Hyeon Woo have the same faces or not? I'm really confused rn. During…
Yeah, I had the exact same question. Honestly speaking, I feel like they looked different to others, but looked similar only for each other (Do Jun and Hyeon Woo). The reason Secretary Ha recognised him was perhaps because of the eyes (window of our soul) or the script writer just messed up in a major way leaving such a plot hole in the script. My understanding is that the novel ending is somewhat different (not too sure)
I’m very happy for him. I think it’s well known that he’s wanted kids for a very long time, so I’m happy that his wish is becoming true. Much happiness to the couple, may they have a healthy baby! ❤️
Another drama, where kindness and gratitude literally changed the course of a country’s history but also that of our main CP, is of course The Story of Minglan.
If you haven’t watched it, please do. One of the best C-Period Dramas there is.
The drama was very good till ep 35, and then Yang Hua and Qin Shi’a relationship got weird. Suddenly they aren’t as honest and open with each other… that’s a bizarre twist
The acting of most of the cast was very good and enjoyable.
While I’m glad that the FL & ML can be together, the actual current setup of their relationship is rubbish. They’re always in different worlds, and he, a monarch, still doesn’t have a consort and heirs.
When she told Luna to look after their dad as she was leaving that world to go to the Kingdom of Corea, didn’t that mean that she was ready to leave her life in our universe behind? Why not stick to that decision?
In the new universe, she could’ve pretended to be some long lost twin or sth of her other self, and once she became Queen who would have the guts to question her DNA being absolutely identical to Luna’s? Smh.
She didn’t even have to completely leave her dad behind. They could show him the new world so he’d be ascertained that his daughter is in a good place and then they could visit him every few weeks or something. When you’re married you tend to see your parents much less anyway, especially if you live in different countries. It’s not like she would have been leaving him for good.
Otherwise I liked the drama, the maths/physics used to explain the different rules and phenomena in the drama were actually fun to follow and they made sense (though not 100%).
The actor playing Baek Kyung (Lee Jae Wook) and the actress playing Eun Dan Oh (Kim Hye Yoon) hard carried this drama imo, especially the former. Their scenes where heavy feelings were needed, angst etc, were all really well executed and enjoyable. Baek Kyung became my fave despite his rubbish behaviour in the first half of the drama.
Haru actor (Rowoon) was okay, but at times it felt a bit forced and the character itself boring after the first 20 eps.
Kim Young Dae was good enough given how dull his character was (not his fault tbh) and he had little screen time in comparison. His lines were so repetitive, I’m surprised how he hadn’t gone crazy from saying same thing over and over. LOL
The drama was enjoyable enough, but I can’t say I’m super taken with it. I doubt I’ll watch it for a second time.
