Her acting on Watch Your Back (tv series) was soooooo good.. girl's eyes are indeed a pair of an actress.. the ones i saw in Liu Hao Cun & Deng Enxi..
She. Can. Act.
Brilliant actress. No doubt about it.
Hopefully some of your future films will be screened in international film festivals, so that more people who are genuinely appreciative of quality acting chop get to know your talent.
I felt a lump on my throat reading the description. Then I saw Jasper is lead character. His acting is very effective…
Is his acting that bad? Or was it just your way of complimenting his convincing acting, even without watching it you knew he'd nail the character?
Am thinking of checking this one out but most comments here abt him seem similar to yours.. Never seen any of his past projects before, thts why i had to ask.
When i first saw Ma Yinyin on Watch Your Back (one of my personal faves btw this one is, from the first quarter of this year alone), i legit mistook her as Ni Ni.. Except for their height difference they look almost identical to me. (And they were even born in the same month AND year, i was like, are they sure they're not related at all) ^^'
That being said, girl's not only gorgeous, but she was also naturally smooth in portraying her role as A Lan.. & that seemed even more evident in her back story episode..it was heartbreaking to see but she did it seamlessly without being wordy..
That one scene of her, sitting alone, still wearing her best dress on the outdoor stairwell was one of my faves.
ohh 😯 a second season?! Buddha 😠went from being a thief to a serial killer, lol. The way Lan died was so…
The way i see it, with Dapeng stabbed that bastard's left cheek was the payback he deserved for what he did to hers in that one scene where we could see him 'reprimanded' her after she caused trouble in their early mission, and she talked to herself in the mirror saying, 'he ruined my face'.
I was surprised he wasn't shot dead after what he did. He was practically a serial killer, to say the least.
I was the other way around.. Since i'd been much more familiar with Miyazaki Aoi's past projects, like Heavenly Forest & Nana, when i first saw Nikaido Fumi on Vivant few years back, i genuinely mistook her for Aoi-san for the first few minutes..
First thing first, Miyazaki Aoi finally.. At last.. After the longest while.. Doing a role who doesn't die at the end or in the beginning of the movie, is something i've waited for since i first saw her on Heavenly Forest in 2006, nearly 2 decades ago.
Saw her on 'Rage' alongside Ken Watanabe & Kenichi Matsuyama a couple of years ago, but still she suffered because of love in it. So 'In Love & Deep Water' feels like a huge burden finally lifted off my chest..made it, personally, one of the most memorable work of hers.
Miyazaki Aoi (alongside Ando Sakura & Ayase Haruka) is one of Japan's finest actresses in her generation & beyond, so naturally her acting chop doesn't disappoint.
Second of all, Yoshizawa Ryo is her partner this time, ain't no way i would pass on this one. Dude was born to do this job cause although he's undeniably good looking but when he picked up a role, he immediately became one with it, i forgot he was an actor. I just saw the character he portrayed.
Him & Kentaro Sakaguchi are among few J-actors whose acting skills gradually managed to 'overpower' their visuals..and it's a compliment.
Lastly, they got the ever super talented Rinko Kikuchi onboard (pun intended), and truly she's a Hollywood level actress for a very specific reason after all..
Girl as the diva girlboss Aina was superbly done..she definitely wasnt the same quirky, introverted woman i last saw her on Bakarhythm's Shinnyushatachi no Bansan.. I knew i would always enjoy her performance no matter what the weather.
There are so many other things i genuinely like, perhaps even slightly love, about this movie for my own personal reasons, it made me smile, laugh, it's funny but also heartwarming.
For me, it's definitely Gong Seung Yeon. The efforts she put into her roles are significant. You won't see her…
True that. saw her on 'Aloners' & even without being wordy, she managed to convey her emotions & feelings with subtle change in her facial expressions. Girl can act for sure.
Pls tell me when u find out, it's like he has everything but luck on his side
Agreed. Amidst a Snowstorm of Love was one of the love stories i've seen from C-dramas in modern setting, it was a pure but still passionate one. And it even introduced me to a whole new world of professional Billiards field.
You can only enjoy this movie if you have been well exposed with Japanese cinematic productions for probably over a decade. Because this one is not only quirky, but it's also heavily infused with political practice themes. Yet still it managed to give the subtle, crucial insights about how real, practical politics world rolls. I absolutely enjoy this one.
Sunday Runoff truly encapsulates why i'm still into J-movies & Doramas even after all this time. They're the best at presenting black humour & dark comedy without losing the touch of reality.
The rooftop scene in this movie was the very proof of it, which also made one of my most memorable movie bits of all time. They don't take serious problems lightly, they just simply see such heavy topics in a different light.
We can't always avoid uncomfortable situations, so once in a while, we might as well just embrace & make a little fun of 'em instead. Because why letting the bad circumstances get in your life & potentially ruin the rest of your day, when you can always choose not to live that way.
Saw the trailer on X yesterday, and it quickly gained my attention since Teresa Li & Bai Yufan are involved in this gritty crime-thriller genre, but i did not expect AT ALL that Yin Fang would also be part of this series..aaaakkkkk...
I like the cast, but BOTH Screenwriter+ PD has such lame AVERAGE trite works in the past, so I have very low hopes…
Being a long time viewer don't give you the absolute right to insult any tv series/dramas..so many people worked so hard to put this project in place, and not just the director, the screenwriter and the ensemble cast involved.
Can't you be respectful for that fact alone before being thoughtlessly cruel with your choice of words..
'Lame', 'average'?? You don't know that! This drama has not even aired yet, and here you are brazenly trashing it already.
Prediction what!?? Prejudice is all you got. A bad one at that.
While Kim Sabu is definitely da boss here..i truly appreciate the fact that you included Heo Im from Live Up to Your Name on the list.. His character development was one of the best i've seen in Kdramaland, as a doctor & as a person.. everyone on the show acted their part with such ease i only saw their characters throughout the entire run of the series. Alsoooo..Kim Nam Gil's chemistry with Kim Ah Joong was sizzling & electrifying thru & thru..
Andddd..the mention of Dr. Dong Go Yoon from Daily Dose of Sunshine was also such a pleasant surprise.. Him being a doctor that's has both brilliant brain and a compassionate soul was exactly the quality everyone need in their physician and a fellow human.. I saw people kept saying that his character was unnecessary but i think the exact opposite.. he was the reason Jung Da Eun (Park Bo Young's character) snapped out of it, & regained her composure by telling her the truth in her face about the situation she repeatedly denied of being in & actually offered relentless unconditional help without making her feel bad about her condition.
To be fair she was 24 yrs old in Descendants of the Sun, and the rest of the leads and sub leads are on their…
Am sure she has made some improvements over the years, but none of them, apart from My Liberation Notes, can match her performance as Aera..Not even Qot, which gained her more fans obviously but not even a Baeksang nomination for her role as Haein.
She can act, but if we wanna talk about it objectively from the perspective of award records alone, than she definitely still got a lot to catch up, since her fellow actress around her age, like Kim Tae Ri has won Baeksang in both film & tv series brackets, Park Eun Bin won Daesang in Baeksang, & Lee Yoo Mi has won Baeksang in movie category & an Emmy in tv series category.
My point is, sometimes people confuse popularity with quality.
So until she challenges herself with a role that's outside her complete comfort zone am afraid it'll be hard for her to be called a critically acclaimed actress.
Take Song Hye Kyo for an instance. She had been nationally & internationally famous for so long, yet it wasn't until The Glory, a role unlike anything she had done before, that finally proved everyone that her acting prowess is beyond her gorgeous face.
That's why i hope this project would allow Kim Ji Won to do just that.
girl's eyes are indeed a pair of an actress.. the ones i saw in Liu Hao Cun & Deng Enxi..
She. Can. Act.

No doubt about it.

Gorgeous shot.
One day this shameless woman will find herself being in the very shoes of Ms. Sakura, that cheating prick's wife.
Except for their height difference they look almost identical to me. (And they were even born in the same month AND year, i was like, are they sure they're not related at all) ^^'

Given how hard it must've been for you subbing it despite not being a native speaker of both English & Japanese.. 🤗
Dude been shying away from doing main characters for far too long.

Am now officially seated for this one. ^^
