Personally, her acting is a bit of a mixed bag for me regardless of genre. Sometimes I think she's really good…
She does serious yet emotional, and slightly sarcastic so freaking well. Her, Seo Hyun Jin and Gong Hyo Jin, are the only k-actresses whose crying scenes actually make me feel their character's pain.
Probably because she's always paired up with men half a generation older than her for romance...which is why I…
Meanwhile I was over here raging up a storm of squeals because her chemistry with LMH is some of my favorite EVER. She brought out a performance from him that had me on the edge each week. They were fantastic together.
It was my first kdrama. I don't how this drama bring me kdrama world, because it is not so good :D
Was my first kdrama as well and still one of my faves. I have not seen another kdrama since this one(maybe The King:Eternal Monarch, also a fave) where the ML is smitten so quickly, which I adored, and the FL can't stand him or understand why he likes her, which I double adored. He just knew she was the one and let her know right away. You do not get that dynamic in kdrama couples ever. The clumsy, sweet, dorky girl usually falls first then pines over the cool, smooth guy until he relents and this drama subverted that trope 100%.
KHN was in the very first kdrama I ever watched (A Gentleman's Dignity) where her role was so funny, dorky and sweet and have always liked her since. She is not afraid of material with more grown adult or mature themes.
This is very lighthearted, a "go along for the ride and have a good time" type of drama. Got several belly laughs from me, which is always a good sign. The homie playing Ki Se, almost made me want to punch the screen with his role in My Dearest and poor guy was back again for round two.
As a side note: Kang Tae Oh casually being his fine-ass self is a SOLID reason to watch. On the other hand, Sun Bin is so pretty it's like, dayum girl, put all that away!
lmao imagine being horny enough to overlook someone being a child grooming predator
That is the part that makes no sense. He has been in dramas where the actresses are so, so beautiful, had so much chemistry with him that it generated dating rumors, and even better were around his own age and he has to go after a youngster?There were NO better options??
Couldn't it be setup? Why would an outraged family wait until this young girl takes her life to reveal a "relationship"…
I get your hesitation completely, honestly both sides have a solid motive/greed factor here. However, she did take her own life ON his birthday and that looks reeeeally sus. You know that when women want to cut deep, they will passive aggressively symbolize the crap out of every detail.
The drama The Perfect Deal also suffered from this. It is not cookie cutter so people trashed it. I do not advocate…
So glad you enjoyed it! Upon seeing Yoo Seung Ho, you just know it is going to be good. His acting in I'm Not A Robot was so impressive. I highly recommend Psychopath Diary with another great actor Yoon Shi Yoon. It is a thriller comedy.
It's incredible that Lee Jun Hyuk and Kim Ok Bin are both known for doing action/thriller/serious dramas and movies, yet both have given me the two best romance dramas I have seen in the past 5 years. I would add Kim Nam Gil to the list but Live Up To Your Name is not recent. That is such a testament to great acting.
Love to Hate You, Because This Is My First Life, Live Up To Your Name, Eulachacha Waikiki and Gaus Electronics(romance is not the main plot in these last two, but the couples are REALLY well done)
