Regarding to the topic of reading subs; I've realized reading subs curbs my attention to the details, I'm apt at following everything but for me, reading captions adds another layer of storytelling to the content I'm watching. As someone who is more inclined to perceive sounds on the foreground compared to the visual cues, reading captions puts another barrier between them but it also helps me to understand the story much better. I wonder if it also affects my evaluation for the acting prowess of the cast since my attention is actually divided between reading the subs and focusing on the scene.
Thanks for the article, it was so much fun to read while trying to remember all the dramas :) Btw, can we get an anti-hero version of this with more gritty details, that would be such a treat to read.
This series was wonderful to watch, it is such a rare gem where all the female characters actually shine brightly, no NPC run off the mill evil female characters can be found in this show and for that this drama shall always be one of my favorites.
4th episode made me cry, Shao Shang is so pitiful, not only her mother abandoned her but even after her parents came back she is still all alone, I really hope that she can truly be detached and free.
I'm ready to increase my rating to a 10 BUT ONLY if some of the ghosts are allowed to stay. Bittersweet endings…
Their farewell will be sad and frankly that preview made my eyes tear a little bit but to me that is not necessarily a sad ending to me since cha woong won't be lonely again, he has learned to fit in with humans instead of ghosts which signifies he has actually regained the will to be alive and not just a loner on a deserted island. Btw, I don't get why he would loose his powers, he was originally a priest in his last life regardless of the Cha clan, which means he should preserve his powers even without Choi Gum. Idk, that sounds like a plot hole to me.
What recent dramas u hv been watching alongside FNOS?
In last couple of months I've seen, forecasting love and weather, a business proposal, grid, who rules the world, shooting stars, military prosecutor doberman, bad and crazy etc. And also, 25-21 and tomorrow, which I really liked. I'm open to recommendations :)
I've started this drama with a light heart yet now from all of the recent dramas I've been watching this has become one of the most I'm invested in. I really like all of the ghost squad and main leads, sending them all away will be hard :(
Yeah, since she got hurt,She MUST hurt the guy she loves by dating another guy because love is all about tit for…
What I meant is that she hopefully won't fall in love with someone who kept her in the friendzone for years whilst being overly flirtatious. I don't want to see her fall in love with him just because he is in love with her, now. She was already hurt once and since that epilogue, to me, GTS's infatuation looks like a child's tantrum towards his favorite toy.
Ep 6 epilogue, well now it all makes sense, if she dates GTS first I'm gonna get real testy, I root for solo or the lawyer and I shall relish watching a GTS drowning in despair either way.
That actor Son Seok Koo always catches my eyes whichever drama I see him in but strangely I have yet to see him as the lead, I think he'd do really well as the real main lead.
Just came to drop my two cents here, I was totally in love with this drama back then and even now my thoughts are unchanged, from start to finish this was such a delight to watch.
I rarely hate a drama. Hate is too much of a strong word for something that’s made for entertainment. Being…
I'm not if I'm the only one but this actually reminds of Anakin's evolution to Darth Vader, and his son's birth amidst of it, plus how he kind of becomes the nominal father for the Sith.
I'm usually quick with getting the plot, solving the mystery and whatnot but this actually might be the first time a drama has left me utterly confused, as in there was no disclosure or a proper lead to why/how/when/by whom grid was actually made, the whole mouse and cat play did not lead to a proper conclusion, not in plot or ideology wise, as in all the sacrifices were made for actually nothing, there was sort of a character development but I don't think it was enough to justify the whole back to square one scenario. I enjoy a good open ending, mystery to evolve and continue but for my personal taste there were just too many vital questions that were left unanswered in the final outcome. I'd definitely watch if a second season were to come along but I'm not sure if this is worth watching as a standalone.
