Really interesting so far! I'm really exited to see what is gonna happen next since I have no clue. I just hope…
We don't know yet because we still see spring here... Will the winter be harsh? Maybe. The message will; remain strong , willpower in all circumstances, and if you decide something, own it until the end without regret
Aside from the fact that I’ve noted in my review that the series is amazinggggg, etc., I also wanted to mention the OST here. The music with traditional elements is simply genius, both at the opening and throughout the series. And the song by Chu Da Hye (this singer was such a find for me) FOLK song in a retro-disco is just incredibly ! cool, I absolutely adore it! And I also loved the very touching and intimate performance by Bo Gum of the song at the end of episode 4!
This is another level! The serie's opening music is simply stunning, and the cinematography is flawless. The first episode is so touching—the mother is incredibly warm-hearted, and I was deeply moved. (There are some similarities with *Samda-ri*...) All the actors deliver perfect performances. For me, it feels like a true journey through time. Bravo to the director, screenwriter, set designers, and actors!
Lmao what..he hasn't been in 1 big hit except reply 98
I don't think it's a flop, especially internationally but I’m not debating this point. Because I don't care about the success of a film (I've always said, I'm not the one making money from that success). What matters to me is whether a work that I spend my time watching gives me emotional satisfaction, educates me, or makes me dream or travel. That's what counts for me. my own experience as a viewer
BUT For an artist in our era, if they want to stay on top, they need to do both – achieve Hit works and try quality projets. Because I understand that without success, producers won’t trust or invest money, etc. We have the power to support or not support an artistic project.
what I can discuss is the diversity of his projects and the artistic values compared to many other K-dramas :)
Park Bo Gum understands art; he is a true artist and not only star actor. He makes good choices every time for his projects : with each project offering something unique, whether it's commercial or artistic serie, all series bringing fresh and innovative elements every time. I can compare with Ryan Gosling – Like Park Bo Gum, Ryan Gosling is known for choosing roles that show a deep range, from romantic comedies , arty or blokbusters to more serious, dramatic roles.
I’m very happy with episode 18! It’s a calming and sleep-inducing drama, like essential oil... But what will happen next? For me, the series ended on a happy note in episode 18 :)) Just a few issues with the guy and his father, I don’t see any other problems, haha... green light!! Maybe the goal will be to give us a traditional medicine diploma?
The series is based on clichés we all know, and it's funny :)) EP6 Nevertheless, it's well executed. The characters are well thought out, and the whole idea is centered on the character (who is also a fresh character) with great dynamics and a very attractive cast. The girl perfectly complements the guy. So far, I really like this series.
Choi Hyun Wook brilliantly portrays his roles: from the energetic bad boy to the baby/boss and a man who wants to be confident and narcissistic, as a CEO should be (He imitates with cliches all the narcissistic SEOs we know in successful K-Dramas that's fun), but at the same time, he's responsible and mature. Choi Hyun Wook really understood his character and makes him incredibly attractive. He's a person with a big heart who opens it fully when he loves. He's also a perfectionist with wounds that have given him the drive for freedom (rock as a symbol of freedom), the desire to regain his lost childhood, and enjoy life. He has locked himself in his world.
Mungah Yeong complements him beautifully, they are even somewhat similar. She respects the guy's tastes and wants to understand his hobbies. She has a decisive character, rational, combative, and often biased. But She doesn't listen to her heart; she's rational, which often leads to her seriously hurting others. It's precisely her combative quality that our boy likes.
The music is amazing, I really enjoy both rock and the violin inserts, as well as other subtle sounds reminiscent of video game music. I also like the character design in the webtoon/cartoon style in the production and staging.
As for the downsides, the over-exaggeration of the evil grandmother is a bit much, I'm not fond of the supporting actor SML, and the excessive product placement ads are a intrusive. And at 30, having your first kiss as a man is utopian, and it's in every drama...
another point, ML when he wears a suit he looks very young, and when he wears rock or sports clothes he looks more mature to me lol.. And I find that the rock look or historical look in action suits him extremely well and cool. I can see him in a bad boy movie at full speed
I think she has felt a strong attraction for him for quite some time now, and her heart beats for him. However, it's her conscience that refuses to accept it, just like the first time. She doesn’t listen to her heart but to her reason.
So far, what I love about the ML is his forwardness—he opens his heart and is generous. Plus, he has been very mature from the beginning in many aspects. On the other hand, I’d say the FL is more childish in relationships compared to the male lead. :))
And I absolutely love both actors—and the SFL too!
Weak Hero 1 releasing globally on Netflix next month will surely get him more fans, too.
In *Twinkling Watermelon*, he is fantastic—so charismatic and natural. Here, there are little nods to his character, just like for Mounga Young as well. Both of them are perfect and turn what could have been an ordinary cliche series into a super hit! (Like Buisness Proposal )
