He's not being replaced. His name is all over the PR pieces for the drama, which comes out in 3 weeks. They're…
There are multiple press releases that he will be retained only in scenes where he can't be edited out. So yes, a lot of his screentime has been chopped out. Also, in the latest photos released by Netflix, there are no stills of Yoo Ah In even though he was signed as the lead of this show.
I have no idea WTF I am watching How could two brilliant actors like Mark and Yaya agree to do this drama?! This is a first Mark / Yaya drama I am dropping. All the best to everyone who is gonna sit through 10 more hours of this. You guys are very patient.
A minimalistic and quiet, yet powerful film that was engaging thanks to Beat Takeshi's idiosyncratic direction style and script, and Joe Hisaishi's haunting score. His nihilistic attitude towards violence is especially striking in this film. This is clearly not Takeshi's best work, but it's one of my favourites from him.
For a season that began with discussing some real issues, it ended in the most underwhelming & lazy way with everything…
Max and Deib - so much for talking about trust, and healing, in the end just an 'I love you' was enough?! Whatever happened to the conversations in the elevator during detention, and in the car when they were going to get the CCTV footage?
Nai and Lee - didn't they break up because they were just too different? So why did they get back together? Wasn't Lee falling for the other friend?
Deib's parents - so just because of a video (that wasn't even conclusive enough), they suddenly became so civil and had a meal with Max's whole family and apologized? Really?!
Max's dad and stepmother - in the end, we never got a single conversation with them even discussing what the problem was, and they randomly got back together because obviously last episode + she's in a ball dress. I get that she left home when he didn't show support for his own daughter but after that it got resolved when Max made the speech for her stepsis. So what was the issue after that? We didn't even get to know the real issue, and why their relationship was on a break for so long, and what made the mum give in at the last episode
the criminal investigation - worst writing ever.. like why write this into the plot if you don't even understand how it works + they dragged it for the entire drama
Kim and RJ - with zero personality beyond the leads and in the end, suddenly they decide to just become wingmen for our leads.. really?
Deib and his father - so after the father spent the entire drama making Deib feel worthless, he suddenly became so soft? Like the least the writer could have done was given them a proper scene for the father to talk about his emotions and them slowly easing into a healthier relationship. But instead the writer chose to make the dad just flip overnight
the headmaster angle from the past - sorry what did it add to the plot again?
For a season that began with discussing some real issues, it ended in the most underwhelming & lazy way with everything tied up neatly with a bow. It had the effect of rendering the good conversations and journey almost pointless. I guess I expected too much after the great first half. I don't recommend it unless you're a fan of either of the actors who did a fairly good job with what they were given or the characters.
I love black comedies so I wanted to check it out.
Might check this out for him.
What a pity SIGHHHHHHHHH

This better be good.

Lakorns can be so good when they want to.

This is clearly not Takeshi's best work, but it's one of my favourites from him.
It makes me sad how films of substance like this are royally ignored on this site.
Otherwise it would have almost slipped under my radar
That is a serious blunder and I have to correct it.

Do yourself a favour and go watch the original instead.
