2 ep. in and I Love It. This is a period drama with substance y'all. From the 1st scene, things kick-start with a punch and there are no slow intro to the character blah blah...nope. This goes straight to plot and I'm grateful for that. Wang Yibo is serving looks and smarts as always and I gotta give it for Song Qian who seems to be holding her own....I love badass FL. The one I'm intrigued by so far is Huang Xian's character which is mysterious and very intriguing plus I've always had a soft spot for HX. The villains are sort of introduced but I'm sure there is more than meets the eye. My highlight scene so far is the Empress appearance and how she makes everyone tremble. Like I said, I stand for women in Power but even myself, I don't want to imagine how she got to that state. She appears calm and understanding but everything she says is received as a sharp edged sword. She seems to be the type of person who will say Thank You and you hear You're dead...hehe. Looking forward to seeing her more. I would say if you want a Serious drama with fast paced (well so far) story where every character seems relevant...then This is for you.
WHEN A KISS TALKS PRAN AND PAT's Best KISS SAID: I love you I love you too I'm sorry it took me a while to realise it I've always been here waiting Now I know for sure, it's you I love I've always known but scared to tell just in case I want you I want you too Finally.... At last...
ME: I'm Dead
P.S. That background music couldn't stand a chance on those kissing sounds made.
IF LAST WEAK GAVE US A HEARTACHE AND DEPRESSION, THIS WEEK THEY BROUGHT AN ANTIDOTE... I'm screaming right now.....Is it hot in here.. Omg, wow, I'm speechless š Brilliant ep. š š š
WOW Massive Congratulations to Queen Shin Hye and Tae Joon. So happy for them. This is one of those couples who managed to have a relationship in public which somehow is private....Kudos to them. Can't wait for their future works.
The bar scene, where pat, pran and ink sit together, wow!!! Did u guys see ohm facial expressions? He nailed it!!!…
And that's why I got confused by him in the ending scene...I mean the way he tensed up and got fidgety whilst his eyes were searching Pran's for something.....Who would think, Pat has no clue Pran likes him or he likes Pran...sigh But like someone pointed out...it's not like he is clueless but the whole idea seems impossible to him hence all the feelings are being repressed.
I'm here cz I can't for the life of me forget Nan's eyes today! His soul shattering eyes keep coming back to me.…
Pran's eyes left a mark in my heart too... His delivery in that scene is legendary and I've never been attuned to someone's emotions the way I did. No words were said only the eyes said it all to be said. It's true what they say, The eyes are the window to the soul. Yeah, Ink is that girl that you can't hate even if you wish to...because she is lovely and pretty. Definitely, a fangal I would welcome to guide our blind Pat to Pran. I'm still surprised that Pat is clueless about Pran because I really thought he knew Pran likes him. So this ep. Left me a bit confused. I would like to think that Pat may know how Pran feels and maybe his own feelings as well but is in Denial or don't see it as possible given their history š¤ Or maybe I'm the one in Denial...huh
I usually don't watch too hyped up dramas because of fear of disappointment but with this drama I fell into the trap. Okay, so the cinematography is stunning, like wow. 2) Everyone is beautiful like so gorgeous everywhere I look. And that's it, for me really... The story unfortunately doesn't pull me in, it's too generic and not novel. The acting is within expectations and dare I say SHK's character and acting reminds me of Encounter. Actually the whole esthetic of this drama reminds me of Encounter. I enjoyed Encounter very much because even though the story is not new it was grounded and told in a way that was relatable. Sadly I can't say the same for this drama...A phrase that comes to mind to describe it would be "too much but nothing much". The directing was a bit choppy at the start but got better. I feel like this is one of those drama genres that's either for you or not. Plus, if you're a fan of the actors, that could help too. That's just my opinion and I'm curious about others opinion.
I thing with seo yeji was that there were evidence of her gaslighting and manipulating kjh who is said to be already…
Well what evidence...A text message and a witchunt??? Its like people were saying, oh this message happened this time therefore it explains his behaviour and how he treated this 3rd person etc...is it an experiment where we look for cause and effect?? Humans are more complex than that My point is we don't know the full story. No No and NO! KSH and SYJ story are not the same (Never said that) but one could argue that they are private (well a text message is). Who is to say that SYJ then boyfriend depression started when he entered a relationship with her or from a text message?? We don't know. So as much as we can have oppinions, personal feelings and judgements on these matters, we don't have a right to crucify someone for something we don't have a full account on. I also have personal opinions on SYJ and KSH scandals but I am not letting it overshadow my logic and understanding of the individual. I fully support them as actors and hope to see them back. P.S. Take note that my opinion is not of their scandals but the reactions
So I left HCC to finish airing so I can binge watch and now before I do...I'm seeing all kinds of stories on Du Shik, I mean KSH...hehe Nope, that will not affect me at all, I will still binge it one day. Honestly, I'm one of those people who tries to seperate art and real life because I believe people behind the screen are humans too with real life experiences etc. So I hope KSH comes back as he is a really good actor. Now, what's bothering me is the Knets Double Standard. When Seo Ye Ji had a scandal few months ago, I don't recall having this kind of positive response or even this support. Instead she was bashed left right and center with no room for her to explain or to be understood. But here, KSH is getting all the support and who knows, he will be back very soon to dramaland and will still be loved. I'm not saying the latter shouldn't and neither am I saying what they did/didnāt do is equal...all I am saying is there should be a fair treatment. These people are humans, things happen in their personal lives and we so happen to know...we don't really have right to crucify them. I am even tempted to say maybe there is a gender bias in SKorea or fans etc. Anywho, I reall hope that KSH and SYJ comes back stronger and better as they are really incredible actors. P.S. My opinion
I hate how bias people are to how SMLs act towards the FLs even though they are in a relationship or are married…
Don't worry, I dislike both SML and SFL equally...hehe What I don't like about SML (just like many other SML in dramas) is he is packaged as the one who is everything that the ML supposedly isn't...And the irony is, that's also a negative. His too much caring, kindness and unwarranted acts of service are burdensome. Here Mo Zi Xin serves no purpose other than to cater to FL which makes his character bland, unnecessary and less authentic. Besides serving our Leads what do we know about the S-leads = nothing. It's high time writers learn that putting 2nd leads with a sole purpose to interfere with the leads is not enough and very annoying. Since SML lacks depth to his character I see him as just nothing but an obsessed person to FL.
WOW JIRISAN surely knows how to deliver and why did I even doubt it (well I guess I have learned never to have high expectations the hard way, huh) Now call me crazy but somehow I thought this drama will be exactly it...drama with a bit of slice of life hence slow paced and exploring the lives of park rangers blah blah..Oh My, How Wrong Was I...LoL Jirisan promises thriller, mystery and fast paced story with stellar cast and cinematography. Talk of the latter, I nearly packed my bags and book a flight to Jirisan...whoever did that camerawork and edit is genious. What I love love the most is this drama does what is less (dare to say mever) done by using the bottom up approach...like it gives you the taster then goes straight the middle/end then now reverse to the beginning which immediately piques the viewer's curiosity on the story behind and that's clever, well genious even....It's like at the end of the ep. I only have one question ....WTF happened to get to our Leads??? And now my brain is in overdrive...trying to come up with answers (well my detective brain has actually taken me places in kdramas before) and yet I can have so many theories and one could be right but certainly it will be told in a way I never imagined before. Well...Buckle Up because we are in for a RIDE IN JIRISAN.
P.S. Reading the comments here I got confused about the signal thing....Yes, this drama has signal (as in those wood signs) as one part of the mystery but this DRAMA AIN'T SIGNAL (as in the other drama).

PRAN AND PAT's Best KISS SAID:
I love you

I've always known but scared to tell just in case
I want you
I want you too
Finally....
At last...
ME: I'm Dead
