With the end of ep 8 I hope the whole misunderstanding part between Jin Sang Pil and Aide Choi won't last long, because that's one of the things I really dislike in dramas :/ Aside from that I'm really enjoying it!
There was a movie with Kim Myung Min and Uhm Ki Joon?! Thanks for letting me know, that's one combination I never knew I wanted to watch^^
I'll watch the one with Kim Rae Won too; after Punch I definitely have to see more of him!
I've seen all of them before and except for Oh Yeon Soo I liked them, too (I've seen her in Triangle and Jumong and just couldn't connect to her characters... but I'm planning to watch Bittersweet Life that you mentioned one day, so maybe she can change my mind then). Kim Sung Ryung is my favourite out of the actresses in this part! I first took notice of her in The Chaser, but really she is awesome in all of her roles.
It's kind of sad that I can think of many more actors in that age group than actresses :/ I'd say my three favourite ones are Kim Hee Ae (whom I saw you also picked in your last article), Go Hyun Jung and Jeon Do Yeon.
That's an interesting idea for an article! Except for Elegant Lies I had no idea these were based on books.
Yes, I've watched and liked it! The story itself was good and aside from that it was refreshing to see a movie revolving around a mostly female cast, since most of the box office hits are pretty male centered.
If you find the motivation to watch more of Lee Jung Jae, I recommend The Face Reader and The New World. The Housemaid is probably my favourite movie with him, but that one is only for mature audiences ;)
I really like the other actors you listed here, too. Although they mostly play supporting roles, I am always glad to see them show up in dramas or movies!
Pure perfection. Nothing in the entire world could ever beat this drama. Period. If only more people watch this,…
The scenery was seriously good, but it's difficult to really enjoy it, because I was always afraid that an enemy would pop out from behind the next tree :P
That's how I felt about it too! When the drama was announced they said it was going to be about rookie cops growing to become real cops together. They also mentioned that the hero had a painful past, but I thought it would be something more simple that would be cured by some hugs with the female lead or something like that^^ All of that traumatic past melo just wasn't my cup of tea, which is a shame, because the drama had lots of potential to be better.
Haven't watched the finale yet, but I agree with what you said. I think part of why it was lacking suspense is that people kept talking a lot without actually doing something. There were so many scenes where they threatened to shoot someone but 95% of the time no one ever went through with it :/
So they really killed Do Hyun off >.< Don't have time atm to watch the whole ep, but I couldn't resist reading about what happened to him. Bringing his character back to create drama between the otp and helping to resolve some issues only to kill him off again once he's served his purpose is just such lazy and cheap writing. Like his character is just a plot device instead of a human being. Or maybe I'm expecting the wrong things from this type of drama, but still... :/
*raises hand* because Kim Myung Min's voice is one of my favourites in dramaland :D
All 5 of these are awesome, although my personal favourite would be Han Seok Kyu. Unfortunately I haven't seen that much of him yet (too little time, too many awesome ahjussis), but his acting in Tree with Deep Roots and Secret Door is unforgettable.
