I just finished watching the first two episodes. I almost didn't watch Ep. 2. I just don't understand the competition element; the pressure of which leads some to lie just to save face over reasons I find arbitrary. It's uncomfortable. Well, we'll see. The jury is still out, as they say.
Ep. 9...I don't know if everyone felt the same, but I really got a kick out of the drinking scene! I usually don't go for "zany" humor, but this one had me laughing! Drink bomb! w00t! XD
It's always refreshing when I find a movie/series where the women, in particular, are able to show desiring & actually enjoying sex without them also behaving as if it's non-consensual &/shameful. However, rather than the sex itself, infidelity *should* elicit shame. For that lens only to be focused on the men was actually really bizarre. How they wrapped up the characters' stories was bizarre, too, & in almost every instance.
This wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. Unpolished production level & choppy storytelling (including that awkward, abrupt ending) didn't help, that's for sure. There were glimmers here & there; mainly in regards to some of the actors, but what they had to work with couldn't have made their jobs easy.
I'm way behind on this series (just finished Ep. 3), but I have to say something... I've never really been into flashy cars or chase scenes or anything like that; however, that chase scene in Ep. 2 was - WHOO! - so SEXY! The way the camera flipped orientations, the lighting, that gorgeous Corvette (I think that's what it was), THE MUSIC...! Ahh! I must have replayed that scene four times, & I might even do it again! ;)
Just in general, tho, there's a vibe to this series that is incredibly seductive, & on more than one level. I can't wait to find out if they were able to keep it going throughout the entire season.
Very different individuals, The hairstyles can be called bit same, But those of us who have been watching Eugene…
I wouldn't claim that they're mirrors of one other, but maybe it's in the way they hold their jaws when they speak...or even how they speak. It could be mannerisms. I can't put my finger on it exactly. It's not a simple "Look, they have the same nose & hair," but there's definitely something about the two that strikes a similar chord beyond simply enjoying watching both women at their craft.
Park Joo Mi's performance in Ep. 12 of "Love (ft. Marriage & Divorce) 2," in particular, was absolutely incredible! I'm definitely going to check out more of her work. She's an amazing actress!
Wowwwwww! Such an powerful episode (Ep. 12)!!! There were moments that left me feeling breathless! The heartache...the desperation...the fury, resentment, & even the longing! It elicited SO many emotions! The visual set up was perfection (face-to-face in the home they've shared...clear daylight), & the dialogue was an astonishingly honest representation of what often happens when such a bomb is set off in a relationship; the thoughts one has once they've been betrayed by the person they truly love & trust, as well as what goes through the mind of the one who is trying to salvage the shattered relationship. Lee Tae Gon & Park Joo Mi's performances were excellent; especially Park Joo Mi! She was utterly brilliant, imo. A seamless immersion into her character. I'm not even stuttering when I say it was one of the best performances I've ever seen, in film or in television, of the internal aftermath of infidelity.
Kubota Sayu is just one of those actors you want to watch. I'll definitely be checking out more of her work. It looks like she's been working hard for quite a few years already!
I don't know if my poor heart can take an entire series of this! lol I mean, the tension is crazy! Judge if you want to, but I would have been all over him...not to mention at least three of her other classmates, before the episode ended. The casting director sure knew what they were doing...
Without giving anything away, I just think it's pretty genius how this story toys with my emotions & reactions resulting from the different scenarios & the people involved. It might be more accurate to say that I'm being *challenged,* & from many directions. As unsettled as it can leave me feeling, I appreciate the artistry!
I enjoyed the article! I don't think anybody, including me, would argue too much with your Top 10(12) list. It's likely that I've watched most of the Top 20+, as well. However, I'm running into the same problem as I do with anime. Most of the favorites have been the same favorites for many, many years already.
Don't get me wrong, please...they're deserving of their spots in line. I'm not trying to take anything away from them. Still, I find myself longing for other, not so well-known, but loved, dramas &/movies.
I very much appreciated your inclusion of the currently airing shows. As much as I enjoy Kdrama, I by no means have my finger on the pulse of what's out there now, nor do I in regards to many of what must be considered "gems" of the past, so I'm excited to try those recommendations.
I guess what I'd like to see are the Tops from even further down people's lists. There must be some hidden treasures lurking within, right? Some "new blood," if you will...even if it's actually "old" blood from back in the day. Again, shows that people have missed; flew under the radar. Low viewership, but highly rated. lol Is there such a thing? Oh, or shows that are, imo, legendary, but came out long enough ago that the mentions of them are few & far, far between. Like with "The King and the Clown" from 2005. A stunning film, but not often spoken of these days.
As I mentioned earlier in regards to anime...I find myself scrolling past the Top 50 because I've seen most of them already. After a while, I guess it just kind of becomes a "throw the dart & see where it hits" situation when looking for something different.
I just read that Season 2 will air on May 13th, 2022. (Source: https://whenetflix.com/move-to-heaven) However, it's odd that MDL doesn't have this listed in the above Details section. Although I'm hoping it's accurate, as a result of MDL not listing it yet, I admit that I'm taking that release date info with a grain of salt!
Her role in "Move to Heaven," I mean...wow! She did an amazing job of portraying the type of person who can't seem to tolerate others' happiness. Like a little kid who sees that their friend built a better sandcastle than she did...she has to kick it down. Yikes!
How they wrapped up the characters' stories was bizarre, too, & in almost every instance.
Ep. 11...BEST EPISODE EVER!
