(especially consdering SiWon and the other actress for the drama within drama) and as something more, depending on the viewer's current point of view and mood. Perhaps I have taken the atonement apsect of the story a bit too much for granted but it reminded me too much of the Princess Man closure, where blindness in both cases can be seen as atonement or as growing weak and dependent. But then, blindness can also go hand in hand with a moral compromise and a sense of betrayal. Telling a lie or giving in to a lie and fabrication are also about losing sight. Anthony, now that I think about it, somehow subscribes to all of these categories, I am reminded of the scene when he confessed about his extreme poverty and how he was living a lie. And you know what else? The way he was stylised it made me think he belonged more to the times of the drama within the drama they were producing

I see,I haven't seen much of Siwon so I have no comparison. One very good point you;ve made that I'm particularly drawn to reflects to me the idea that a good drama's measure is remaining entertaining whilst trying to convey something more and the way this drama has been structured allows for both. I haven't thought about blindness in quite this way, but you've just reminded me that perhaps I've been on the verge of taking some things too much for granted. What I appreciated most was how we accompanied writer Lee on the journey to unravel the personality behind the king of dramas. It has been really clever with revealing things about the character and certainly the sense of progression that is so nicely framed by the opening and closing sppeches of Anthony Kim. It has been really clever in the way it was written because it can be seen as a romcom

like for instance?

aww i see, well then you do have something nice to look forward to :)

I guess I am the same in that I like a good variety and watch whatever I feel is the right moment for me to watch. Recently I felt like rewatching Queen Inhyun's man. I think I was too harsh on the drama the first time I watched it when the lead couple has amazing chemistry and all in all the story is sexy. It's comedic too. A very nice romantic story, if you haven;t watched it, it was soo cute that you could die from all the cuteness.

let me know how you like it-or hate it. :) happy watching. what kinds of drama do you enjoy the most?

i know i watched prosecutor princess :P but I love how you describe that character :D very apt! hahah! I am nearing 150 dramas watched now, and beginning to lose track lol. give it a try yoiu may dislike the king of dramas but I think Anthony grows on viewers. I liked it- but then remember I also liked the princess man and the king2 hearts :P good luck with your exam! Hope to see you around soon! take care, Yeona.

well, I haven't really seen him in anything, and I confess I"m not in much of a hurry to, but I think you may find it a peculiar role. most of the time he is a bit over the top funny. But his character has his moments too. I think he ends up being quite endearing in the final episode ;-)

true. I don't like the fights of fans over which should be the OTP and they tend to ship harems a lot. But I am quite fond of well drawn bishonen with long hair and in traditional clothing myself I am afraid.... That's why I approve of fanfiction, everyone can modify the stories to their liking, especially if it's romance they are after.

ah. You will see him quite a lot, don't worry. He starts appearing in episode 3.

Well, not to reveal too much but the main plot focuses on Kim Myun Ming's character, who is an excellent actor. Si Won's role is mostly for comic purposes in this drama, but this is not to say he doesn't have a leading role.

hahah harem makes things difficult, doesn't it? :P

lol :D I loved it! Had me glued to the screen and anthony has of course a lot of charisma. I could not stay away.

aww. anything in particular in the anime world that caught your eye? people keep telling me to watch it but I refuse to :D good to know I am making the right decision. no point in wasting time. it's probsably one of the more overrrated dramas out there. I am still about to watch Reply1997 but somehow can;t seem to get into it, even though it;s a TvN drama and those have proven to be interesting over time.

I hope so too :) MDL is a pretty good place for that :) I liked king of dramas, it has nice pacing and Kim Myung Min happens to be a very reliable actor. I had fun unravelling the personality of his character together with the main female character ;-) Some thriller aspects and suspsense thrown it and goo cinematography give it good pacing and overall mood. I liked how it progressed and ended. I liked the opening scene a lot and then it is also framed nicely at the end. Soome good banter between the leads and well chosen dramatic moments to feed the pace further. A bit overdramatic on the drama producing aspect, but adds a bit of suspsense. Mood+pacing+banter+character unravelling+ excellent Kim Myung Min made me have fun watching it. SiWon is a bit too over the top at times but it's meant for comedy. I enjoyed the banter more myself, though. what are you watching now?

sorry, didn't mean to sound preachy. that's great then :D i like reading the comments too especially if they clearly state reasons. I also enjoy the reviews and mostly find it helpful if I can have some perfect 10s, and some critical reviews, then I have a better view of this.

well, I think we should all express freely what we think, especially if we can substantiate it with arguments. Constructive discussions are very important too as long as we respect difference of opinion. I also think it's important to have the pros and cons and constructive discussion (no dissing) can sometimes change opinion since you're getting to know a different outlook, However, our tastes are different, so what you find boring I may love, what I love you may find boring, and it's impossible to find people that will have the exact same taste. Besides even what I may consider a "stupid" drama can have some likeable things, depending on one's outlook, sometimes mood? A boring drama with cast that has a fan following or is cute will possibly be better received. And besides, it really depends on why we are watching dramas, what do we want out of them, I think.

To each their own and YSH has the looks for dure. Well that is true. I find myself attacted a lot to long hair, top knots and traditional outifts too though I prefer older men wearing them. 30s to early 40s is my preferred age range for a guy and they are usually seaasoned and experienced actors by then. Yo seung Ho and Lee Hyun Woo are the only too actors at the age of 20 that I like because they are genuinely talented. There may be one or two young actresses too, but in gernal older actors are a bit more reliable on the acting front. That and I think 30s-40s are the best age for a man,

haha I keepo adjusting the tiers a lot lately myself, Bokami. It's becoming more difficult to keep track of the good and bad points of each drama. I think it's time to make good use of the notes feature. Salaryman and lee bum soo ah. yes. That one was one heck of a drama but I do think that King od Framas holds itself well alongside Salaryman. They are bioth memorable in their own way. Except king of dramas flopped in terms of viewership. Not sure why, bad time slot perhaps. It was told in a fresher way than the other two dramas about making dramas, though the world that they live in is way more realistic, King of Dramas puts more emphasis on dramatic cliffhangers. What are you watching now the most?

What about God of Study? Arang and the MAgistrate I found to be a boring drama overall but he was quite attractive especially in the setting he was given. Haven;t seen Missing You, but I liked him in Operation Proposal.
