my favorite support actor ! I mean it, the shows are what they are big part because of him ;) especially Vincenzo and Crash landing on you...yeeah Inam big sucker for the brotherhood kinda feeling , and he can certainly pull it off :)

looking forward to the queen of tears drama, I am sure after looking up the cast, taht it will be a good one ;) fingers crossed

not my genre per say ,but it was fun to watch. It even made me go awwww at the bromance.
now is it just me, or does anybody else imagine Vincezo having a cupboard full of identical lighters at home, sinc ehe seems to throw away quite a lot of them 😁😁😁 I legit wouldn't be surprised if that was the case , but it is pretty funny image 😁honestly the FL wasn't my favorite, but that's just personal antipathy, nothing wrong with the performance

well i am more pragmatic than romantic in this particular case, as long as there is no major inconvenience, which in this case there isn't...he doesn't have to kill anybody to survive , doesn't have to go out at night only etc... I dunno, how is that so bad you would want to go for arthritis and dementia or stroke etc... it is not like he doesn't have friends that are also immortal or like there's no possibility to even find a love partner who is also immortal...if he is bored to deeath and just wants to end, why not die right away, there were shown means of insta vampire death, why hoing through a slow painful one most probably, for all he knows.
I don't know, I also do not look forward to dying personally, I hope I am by all means still quite few decades early , but still it is a frustrating idea. I would rather have all the time in the world and decide when is my time to leave by myself eventually. there are new things and people being added to the world every day. Also most things can be fixed as long as there is enough od time. So Inwould rather risk getting bored or depressed from time to time , but having unlimited time to fix it. Anyways I am also a huge control freak, that might be why😁

this is so nostalgic, I've read this so long ago😁 good choice for Haijin I 🤔

ok, they're super cute together. And it is not so unbelievable that Nomura Kota vould make a straight guy fall for him when he smiles 😁 Anyways I like this mangaka's drawings so I was pleased to find one turned into a live action show😁 since the manga is short they stuck to the original material pretty well and thus it had a nice flow for a JP Bl show, I recommend it ;)

buhaha please tell me they won't make Moon Sang Min go blonde at some point😁😁😁 I was too curious so I looked up the webtoon. I must say they didn't only change the plot quite a bit, but the FL character's personality is quite different from the webtoon.
heh but the blonde thing will now haunt me until the end 😁

I seriously felt very bad for him when he woke up and went for the franatic search of info. It gelt like the script cheated him of his happy ending or something 😅 Honestly I sort of felt like he should've been jang bong hwan staying, he did all the work there , and let's be real, the king fell in love with him , not the queen 🤷😅

yeah, maybe it wouldn't be so disappointing if there wasn't such a strong and dramatic start.

final personal review:
wow, I must say I am disappointed beyond anticipation. great start, questionable middle and absolutely dull end. There are great visuals and production which makes so hard not to watch. But the screenwriters were either replaced of completely abandoned any effort somewhere around the end of the first half. The characters are unrelatable (that is the kindest way to put it) and the story absolutely holds no coherence whatsoever. Now to the actors, Jo Jung Suk is probably holding the thing somewhat together, the rest is doing also well considering the script they have to work with. But I am sorry to say this ,but the FL should've gone to somebody else. She has no connection with rhe camera - and thus the viewers ( I've noticed this about the actress in the Bride of Habaek deama as well unfortunately) , she seems to be washed out by anybody else in the picture with her, and she seems very weak even in scenes where the character shows strenght.
So for the actors I think kudos are due to jo Jung Suk and honestly even Mrs Jang Young -the maniac queen was quite concicing . As for the characters Captain Joo is still my favorite as well as the mature crown prince. Sleazy ex-fiance-wannabe made nice chatacter arc taht didn't feel too forced, so that was quite good.
Overall the first episodes set the expectations hight either for political side , romance or revenge drama. I feel like the final product delivered neither, I wouldn't mind the melow political finish had it been melow from the start , as they managed to rile everything up in th wforst half, the second fell quite short. As for the romance and revenge, it felt like there was none. The main couple became so boring I couldn't even bring myself to be curious about their ending together. Both love and revenge plot seemed to peak around episode 8-9 and after that it was diluted more and more.
My finalnconclusion is, that the drama should be renamed "Captivating scenery" instead, as the viauals are really the most captivating thing about rhis drama from viewers' perspective.

this was kind of a let down, there was so much political plotting involved and this is the conclusion for that storyline ? they really did not have any master genius plan behind scenes ? just lucked out on creepster almost-fiance to gain some late awakened rationality snd patriotism? and lady Dong? sorry she still killed the previous king and possibly helped him lose his mind as well on the orders of the two schemers . I am just wondering, if he had really kissed her as she requested, wouldn't she end up poisonning him accidentally as well? honestly she seemed like she wouldn't mind if rhey died together,that much... can't muster much sympathy for her, but I'll give hee she was more interesting character than the FL.
Also let me just say, the female physician can't seem to have her mouth shut can she ? like okay Dong was a bit scary and she bribed her a lot, but the queen's henchwoman? seriously? the queen was being shunned even... I wanted to yell at her to shut the f** up , that she could've just said that Dong had some lady issues she helped with in secret and she got that as a gift since Dong planned to die anyways...literally nobody would've known any better 🤦 but she actually seemed to enjoy the tattletaling .
And what the hell is the queen thinking ,she wpuld dress up king's misttess and he'll like her again ? like what's the plan here ?🤦

dunno, I've seen him in quite different genres , if anything he seems more versatile than most 🤷 seems like saying he relies on looks alone is a bit far-fetched😅 also most of the k-actors in his age group are quite handsome so that alone wouldn't really made one stand out 🤷
also he sings quite alright, I am not a huge fan of the music style he produces lately ,but that's just a personal preference alone 🤷

he has potential, hope he will get a chance to expand :)

I don't mind the story or that it's short, but ir seems kind of flat. The characters don't really go beyond their initial setup. I feel like K-dramas and movies have a bit of a hard time to manage a wholesome image into a two hour time slot , ot often seems deconstructed , two-dimensional, incoherent in a way ...

right?😁I don't really remember seeing one like that

he likes to be a deamon tho, kinda.... i never really understood why is it so important for both leads to be human by the end of so many dramas🤷 being both humans never guarantees you will both grow old and die around the same time🤷 so I actually liked that they didn't do the whole spiel here for a change. Now ai need drama where they actually actively try to make to human spouse immortal as opposed to make the supernatural one breakable , since that's the logical thing to do 😁😁😁

I didn't read the webtoon, so I am taking your word for it. but as of the first two episodes he does not care in the drama so far. yeah his brother did not tell him that he was gay, but that is not even the point, he told him very clearly that 1) he doesn't want to mary the sFL , he knows her ling enough and has absolutely zero romantic interest in her and 2) he told him very clearly he doesn't want to manage a conglomerate ( in the series he does some type of art right ? that has absolutely no correlation to being a head of a company )
his brother torally brushed both those things off ... also people say in the webtoon that he is suspicious of FL due to his concern for her ulterior motives. I'll give them there were few scenes like that in the drama as well ut for the most part the script suggests he is more angry about her being an obstacle to his goals than anything else 🤷 that's somehow very off-putting.
I am very grateful they did that funny "grandpa-taxi" scene , but I am not too happy about the rest of the episode as yet again, they've all displayed very unhealthy relationships between them

seems like an arrow to the heart (in this case) would be much nicer death than slow old-age sickness 😅 also human can get into a car accident and be left paralyzed etc.. seems somehow more risks than benefits situation to me 😅

Inthink I've read the manga. but seeing in live actio is actually so cheesy 😁 can't stop laughing .... please tell there are no real people whoeould chase after somebody they don't even know for fee years without even considering a possibility that the other person has life of their own meanwhile😁 lol the surprised pikachu face she made was priceless

sounds like manhwa plot alright 😁😁😁 maybe I'll try to find it . Honestly I wouldn't my ind if they kept it simple as that, there seems to be a lot of room for comedy . I am afraid they will overcomplicate things with the family power struggle as well as other things and the comedy will creep out . Hope not :D
