After watching both Blossoms and Pursuit of Jade, I realised why both series were so special. The creative thinking of this director was behind it.
The way both of these series were shot is slightly unusual, innovative, different from the rest of the Chinese costume dramas. Enough different to keep you glued to the screen, but not too different to interfere with telling the story.
Especially noticeable in Pursuit of Jade was how large-scale army battle scenes weren't always shown in full. We would skip them to just see the bloody end of them. But the FEELING those bloody scenes would invoke was equally strong enough as if we saw the entire battle. There is also a perfect balance between the emotional journey of the characters and happenings around them.
The agency wanted Zhao Lusi to work hard, but she strayed from their goals and always rely on YXH accounts telling…
Do you, my dear, think we are all blind and haven't seen the video of ZLS barely holding a spoon to eat after her stroke? How stupid do you think this community is?
And, most importantly, are you like 12 years old to write something like this? You must be. It would be sad otherwise.
Maybe it's because for a sword fight you have to train your actors hard. While for guns you just say: "And now…
Just so that we are clear, my comment above was highly sarcastic :) I'm actually a big fan of the web novel.
And I agree with what you and many others have said. Ddokkeabi's and constellations missing aside, swords would be a must for a good movie adaptation. The tension of battles and missions would drop significantly without them.
i dont understand why they had to switch the swords with guns?? i hope they still use the swords cus in the poster…

People might argue the criticism is premature since it hasn’t aired yet, but the concerns go beyond simply jumping…
Honestly, I consider Lee Min Ho as Yoo Joonghyuk a better choice than Ahn Hyo Seob as Kim Dokja.
YJH is supposed to be handsome, tall, charismatic and emotionally withdrawn, to the point of being harsh to others. While our favorite ML in my mind is skinny, slightly hunched, slightly nerdy and not-so-handsome. So in my mind Ahn Hyeo Seob just doesn't fit that physical profile.
But, I agree, we will see when the movie comes out. I really hope it exceeds our expectations☺️
There is no background stories to tell. It is just a report from his reaction to the release of his new project.…
Ah, no, I strongly disagree. If you're going to write an article based on two quotes made by two actors during interviews, then the writer has to "nest" the quotes properly into a fluent, easily understandable and factual whole/story. That is the definition of good writing.

There is a clear back-and-forth about corona times and whatnot. I mean, I speak English fluently and have read the article twice. I still don't understand what corona had to do with his newest film. One would almost think that there is currently a second outbreak of it just in South Korea.
>>>Lee Sung Min expressed, "It hurt my heart to see the parking lot empty. It seemed like there were no people in the theater," and added, "Seeing there are no audiences in the theater is very tough for actors. Releasing a film during such a period makes us want to die. But enduring that is part of being an actor. Still, please give us your support and help so that the film can do well until the very end [of its theatrical run]."
Lee Hee Joon remarked, "Although Bogota has performed below our expectations, greeting each and every one of you who came today makes me feel grateful. This film made it to the theatres despite the impact of COVID-19 [it endured five years ago]. Thank you for your interest, for watching the movie, and for coming to this special event." <<<
Wow, this drama was nothing I expected. It was much worse, in fact.
Story is all over the place - no gradual build-up. The character of ML was still under construction until the last episode - is he a narcissist or the most caring person is yet to be determined. The amount of scenes with empty, meaningless content was so high.
The only explanation for its popularity that I can think of is that in that year (and period of the year) there were no really good K-dramas.
So, the production team of this drama has been living under a rock, and hasn't seen the amazing CGI and makeup in Breaking Dawn pt 1 which was shot more than 10 years ago?!

I'm so curious: who would you prefer in the role? (I don't have any ideas, so I'm asking)

All bets on that's the psychiatrist's office 😂
