I'm in the minority as well, Andrea. I keep watching this show only because I've already wasted 30+ hours on it.…
The caps are used instead of underlining, dears. I really don't care if I sound condescending - you obviously don't give a hoot about how you sound to me LOL
Lord, this just keeps getting better & better :D I love this kind of thing immensely even when cheesy & poor quality (which this is NOT) - and Lee Seung Gi is PERFECT as the Monkey King :D Cha Seung Won is totally owning his role, and Hong Ki as our Pig Demon LOL love him so much :D So happy about this right now :D
Psychosomatic, a simpler word is used probably in translation or to make it simple for all audiences
Chun Ho Jin is, shall we say, age appropriate for me (& OMG hot - just saying to you young things) - I expect his parents are quite elderly. Sad to see less of him in the drama, but his dad comes first, of course.
At first i decided not to watch this as i kind of know what to expect. Right now i got no more drama to watch…
Just notice that the negative comments don't really give any objective reasons for not liking the drama - just personal ones. Some don't like the lead girl, for instance. Check to see if anything that is said really makes YOU think it would be mad. Lots of us like it, BTW
So this really has only 2 more episodes? I'm not at all sure how it can all be wrapped up in just 2 hours, but the writers have done a superb job so far!
Just finished this drama and I found it enjoyable, although I feel something is missing. Can't quite put my finger…
I don't know if missing quite explains my reaction - I thoroughly enjoyed the bromance, & liked the major & minor (lol) romances. Everything got wrapped up well. Maybe shallow? Not horribly so, but a bit. Still I enjoyed this a great deal. I thought Jo Jung Suk did an amazing job here!
Really. Oh sweetie. You are so off. Being inspired by a creative work is MUCH different than being a KNOCKOFF…
Ah, YOU feel sorry for me. Whatever. You are inaccurate because of your misuse of the word 'knockoff'. This film, whether good or bad, was inspired no doubt by various wushu films. Absolutely. However, it is not 'cheap'. Certainly not a copy of any of them in particular, however much it borrows from some of the storylines. I really could care how many other of your young friends agree w/you, either. That is neither here nor there. As for 'shoving' myself into 'someone's else's' comments section LOL LOL LOL This is a public thread, open to any member of MDL. I'm no more intruding than you are. I'm sorry I hit a nerve with you. So sorry you didn't like this film. But really, try checking on the meaning of words before flinging them around.
All of us that are "completely unable to have an intelligent conversation about the actual drama" and give "uninteresting,…
I gave some of them. I'm not finished with it, nor do I think it perfect. But why would I spend time giving you a complete critical exposition when you don't bother to even give the kind of substantiated short comments I've already given? Good grief.
All of us that are "completely unable to have an intelligent conversation about the actual drama" and give "uninteresting,…
Honey, it is not having a personal opinion different than mine that makes a conversation unintelligent. It is being unable or unwilling to support said opinion with anything resembling logic and insight that makes such a discourse worthless. I've got advanced degrees in literature - are you really so naive as to think everyone I've ever discussed a book with in college agreed with me? And yet, one could indeed have an interesting and spirited debate on the various aspects of the work. I'd love to have one here, but when I get 15 variations of 'it's boring - the girl can't act - I hate the lead cause the character is stupid/immoral/whatever ' well I'm sorry. That is mind-numbing. I made it clear that I gave this drama a 10 simply to balance out the idiots who decide to give decent dramas low scores cause they hate the lead actress, or don't like the genre.
I have yet to read a well-founded criticism of this drama. Jo Jung Suk is rocking this - he's doing a fabulous job of portraying two completely different characters, one of whom is often right beside him for comparison! That takes talent. Those who are dissing on him are just way off base. Those of you who hate Hyeri, LOL. Whatever. She's been doing better & better with each role she takes, & in this one she's doing exactly what's required for the drama. As for Kim Sun Ho, :D He's so good as our conman. I wish there were an actual discussion here of the PLOT progression - makes me wonder how many of you who supposedly are holding your noses are actually watching it LOL Such an interesting conundrum the last episode left us with. The commentary here is uninteresting, uninformed & blatantly prejudiced even for MDL, sadly, so completely unable to have an intelligent conversation about the actual drama :(

Well it sure sounds to ME like you aren't fond of them - you give your reasons which is fine, although most of them are fairly planned out (even when the plan is just screwed - Glorious Temptation for instance, or Monster).
So happy about this right now :D
