they really had to replace Krone who is BLACK with a JAPANESE woman,WHERE'S THE FLAVOR?
I mean, there aren't that many Japanese actresses that have African ancestry in Japan. Just among famous celebrities, I can name Crystal Kay, but that's about it. I'm sure Naomi Watanabe will bring justice to the role though. Her bio states she's known for impersonating Beyonce, so maybe that's why she was cast? I know she's really famous as a comedian, but that's about it.
This documentary is great. As a casual BLINK, it made me really appreciate them more. They work really hard to get to where they were. For a rookie group, early success is no easy feat.
However, I just want to say, in the scene where Jennie and Jisoo were in the kitchen making Tanghulu, they were discussing the dynamic between oppa and unnie and they said it's the only country in the world to do it, is not entirely a correct statement. Overall, I think most Asians have this type of culture - for example in Vietnam, we (I'm Vietnamese myself) call older guys "anh", older girls "chi" and people younger than us "em" and that would be the equivalent of oppa, unnie and dongsaeng respectively. However, that's no fault of Jennie and Jisoo though. Just a minor correction.
Completed the lakorn. I still have doubts like if one person is to be forgotten by others, it will significantly…
Yeah, the disappointing part was that there were flaws in the magic portion of the show - didn't explain it well nor did they expand on it. I think it would have been so much better if they took time to expand the show and explain the magic. Flushing out the story would definitely make it better.
I've been wondering how Terrace House will change from now to onwards, in regards to what happened to Hana. Will…
I don't think that the show will be able to continue at this point. I had heard Netflix announced they're removing TH from their library, which might mean Netflix might choose not to make anymore seasons. If they continue, I think it will be difficult to do so since I'm sure there will be major backlash, especially considering that cast mates have come forward saying staff asked them to do stuff on the show to create drama, Hana and Kai included.
For anyone who is watching the drama and is wondering who the actress is for Oor, her name is Anongnart Yusananda. I wanted to add her, but she has no profile here and I can't find anywhere that lists her native name, which is required for the profile. She's a model and has only acted in two other things from what I could find. Her IG is @cutiekiw for anyone who wants to follow her. Her Facebook is under her name Anongnart Yusananda.
So far, so good. This drama is phenomenal and I finished the first 4 episodes in one sitting. If I could describe this drama in one sentence, it would be, "A Tim Burton K-drama collaboration" with not only the drawings being very Tim Burton-esque, but the overall feeling of the drama as well. The drama is dark, but still light-hearted and is not your typical rich boy falls in love with poor girl story. The female lead is strong, but still has her flaws and the male lead portrays himself strong but also has his own flaws. I love the addition in storytelling of psychiatry and psychiatric patients. Everything from the storytelling, the title sequences, script, scene transitions, etc., so far have been on point, and I so far don't or can't see any flaws in the drama. As of 4 episodes, there is tension between our two leading characters, but no telling yet of any romance. This could definitely be the next top Netflix K-drama hit, if not the next top K-drama. Netflix is killing it recently with their releases.
Usually almost all of Filipino Drama is very long.
I mean, they're definitly not as long as Indian dramas, but they are pretty long if you're used to only watching East Asian dramas that only last about 20 episodes or so max. I understand that Pinoy dramas are very long, but the plot was just dragged out too long afterwards that it just kept circling back around. I'm fine with it being long if it's justified, but this was not.
