I hate how people are blaming joongdunk for the poor writing, how is it their fault? also I think the only reason…
It’s not their fault. The pilot trailer was promising so I can’t even fault them for choosing a mediocre project because honestly who could’ve known at that point? It’s not like these actors are privy to scripts beyond the pilot trailer since those are written way after the fact, so they are essentially pitched the same thing we are before they sign-on. But yeah, it was bad writing (coupled with some other things) that plagued this series and ultimately failed to deliver. Actors can only do so much with the material they’re given. Also, scripts can sometimes sound better on paper and a bad script can make even the best of actors look like amateurs, especially if those actors aren’t able to connect with the characters and/or story. Which again, with bland characters like these and a directionless story who could blame them for not connecting? Not me!
they did even explain how he is alive ? or it's like a 'what if' special (not real)
It’s an alternate timeline where he didn’t die. So a “what could’ve been” situation. The execution is lame though and didn’t make much sense. But yeah, it doesn’t add anything to the main story where he’s still dead. It did the main pair no favors either as they came across very juvenile.
I genuinely wanted to know why he's managed by 2 companies and is it possible for an artist to be under 2 companies?
Co-management and yes it’s possible. Not sure of the particulars in his case but from what I’ve seen with others the two companies tend to manage different things.
Could be another actor goes by that same name? I suppose it could be wrong but it is one of the three names listed on Gaga’s page for the series so I presumed it was him as the two other names are cited here.
This is SO bad. Every episode feels like a filler episode. Actually, every non-NC scene feels like filler, which I’m sure a large fraction of the audience is probably loving but I just can’t relate if there’s not enough story to balance things out.
With that said, all this now has me curious about the novel and the story there because I’m wondering if the lackluster story onscreen is terrible due to weak storytelling or if there was no real story of substance to be told in the source material. Or if it’s maybe a bit of both.
Just saw on Twitter they're doing a special episode and our second couple is there with Don alive?? Was this planned…
Oh so NOW they want to bring Don back. Honestly, I would’ve respected the creatives more if they had put a freeze on the series as soon as the death episode aired and the well deserved negative feedback started pouring in to retool the remainder of what was set to air. Unprecedented? Sure. But it probably would’ve cost the same if not less than a special episode to go back and film some scenes in order to salvage the final eps of the series and the overall reputation of your series. But then, these are the same creatives who bet it all on Don’s nonsensical death in the first place so I expect clownery.
😭😭😭 I think the short hair will grow on me... but not gonna lie, I wish he had this hairstyle https://www.reddit.com/r/GMMTV/comments/1kd8eef/gawins_ideas_for_a_jossgawin_bl/
in both the kiss scenes and nc scenes I always get the feeling that haejun actually doesn't want to be there.…
This. Sometimes he looks like he wants to laugh, though that could be a nervous tick. It takes me out of the scene but also I can’t really blame him because I’d probably want to run away and/or laugh if I were in this hot mess of a series too.
