Infront of that gangster leader in ep. 5 Song Joong Ki looks and behaves like an amateur teenager ) Though he…
Ehh...I think a large portion of why it seemed slightly off-putting and awkward was the way English was utilized in the scene. Song Joong Ki is definitely understandable (certainly commendable and not the worst English speaking scene I've watched in a drama, in fact it's one of the better ones in regards to non-native speakers). But when an actor has to really concentrate on pronunciation and being clearly understood in a language they aren't extremely comfortable in, inflection gets lost, passion gets lost, and their portrayal comes off as not confident......
I mean, you can't really fix it. They chose a gangster that only speaks English, not Korean. So Song Joong Ki has to speak English to him. It's just one of the unfortunate realities of the difference between Korean and English and how off-putting the natural voice inflections can be to the opposing language party.
Okay, that cliff scene....I don't understand why the safest option wasn't climbing through the back of the car…
Ahh, right, if the break is really helping...you can't exactly let go to attempt to climb out the back. I missed that. Then again, if a car is half dangling off a cliff with half of it in the air....are the breaks really any help? But....I should probably just let that thought go and enjoy the drama. It's entertainment at its best right now, super-duper entertaining.
So I havent watched ep 12-14 yet becuase I really don't want to be disappointed anymore so I'm asking here, does…
Help me by defining what "better" would look like to you. Are there certain stipulations you'd want in the plot? Or certain things that must happen by X episode?
Personally, I really like the direction the drama is taking right now: it's interesting and compelling for me. And I'm excited to watch the final two episodes. Mind you, I've never wavered in how much I've enjoyed this drama (read: I've liked it a lot....haha) so maybe my opinion isn't that valuable to you if you've had problems with having the willpower to continue watching.
Okay, that cliff scene....I don't understand why the safest option wasn't climbing through the back of the car to the ground (the rocks couldn't hold them? What? ....If that was the case, wouldn't the car have already slipped?) Also....they would have died.
Those are the only negative things I'll say, haha. I'm really, really loving this show. :)
He changed the passcode to her birthday. I think that spoke volumes as to how he is really falling for her.
No, that's definitely what I think too. Based on all these comments, you'd think he's this sociopath. I think it's fairly obvious that he's starting to struggle with this experiment. And I think it's pretty obvious how fairly soon it will morph into full-blown anxiety over losing her. I dunno, I think this drama is going to turn into a "drama everyone else didn't like" except me. Next to Cheese in the Trap, it's probably my favorite drama I'm watching at the moment.
For me, this is a work of fiction. I honestly don't care about the psychological stuff being accurate. I like all the characters, it's entertaining, and it is giving me major feels. I'm really, really enjoying this drama. After Cheese in the Trap, it's probably my fave.
I started it, and I am about a little more halfway through the second episode, and I am dropping it, because being…
I actually think you'll like how things end up if you continue with it. The ghost gets less annoying and Chef's feelings for Na Bong Sun make more sense as the series progresses.
Obviously the previews are confirmation that he's still manipulating her, but oh my goodness.....his love confession in this last episode was SO good. Sung Joon is pretty perfect in this role.
Okay, so I've only seen the first episode and about 5 minutes of the 2nd episode. There's no way this dude has a problem looking in the mirror. His perfect, loose curls are totally done by a curler, haha. .....You kind of need to look at yourself for that.
