We all know you MDL writers favor this actress but stop the spam about this show
Also this user @Mephisto is an incel who posts everywhere attacking FLs for having two love interests and other stuff. This is straight up a misogynist and deserves to be banned from this site based on his awful reviews, ratings and bad faith behavior.
LOVE LOVE Hye Yoon and have watched everything she is in even if the plot was just okay but she is always delightful, like a ray of sunshine. Can't wait for this drama. There is also something called the Kim Hye Yoon effect where here Male Leads, often less known when they act with her, get a extreme boost in roles and recognition.
Love Hye Yoon and will watch anything she is in. Hope this helps raise Lomon's profile a bit he just is main lead material but keeps not getting the best projects after the zombie show.
She is such a gorgeous woman, high hopes after her last drama (esp the huge age gap pairing with old guy) was such a let down. Nice to see her with an attractive ML.
Trauma drama! The four main actors (Tseng Ching Hua, Moon Lee, Chiang Chi, and Lyan Cheng) are all amazing. Tseng Ching Hua delivers such a stunning vulnerability, frustration, sorrow, anger - using just his eyes to change expressions. He is very pretty. Moon Lee is an ethereal joyful beauty and full of charisma. She is so lovable that you really really hate everything that happens and want maximum harm to evildoers. Chiang Chi is really gorgeous and she gives off such a subtle acting that you don't know what is or isn't real, or what to trust and I really was drawn into the drama by her performance and waited for her return. Finally, Lyan Cheng does so well portraying the younger and older versions and a troubled spirit. I can't wait for the next part but also ready for more heartbreak.
I'm curious: Is the villain you refer to as "gay," actually gay in the film or not? Wondering what the…
They made one of the villains (male) to force a very young looking guy into giving him a blowjob and then the villain kills the guy in a gruesome way. That is why the quotation marks because it is using the trope of queer coding the villain when his violence is already enough to mark him as bad. Totally unnecessary asf.
Should not have cast him or done a better background check, this is not a "sensitive" issue this is about gloryifying genocide, war violence, rape and enslavement and murder of Korean women. No one gets to be "patriotic" about their killer rapist grandpas.
Exactly! Rapists, pedophiles, wife beaters, cheaters, all effing getting main lead roles and thriving while he and many others have to struggle and keep getting bad media or blacklisted for small things (like TOP or many female actresses\stars like Seo Ye Ji)
The chemistry for ML is not there, someone more youthful who can match her looks like Seo Kang Jun would work better. When will she have a really charismatic and sweet pairing like she had with Lee Jae Wook?
I wanted to watch this after seeing recommendations from some of my fellow watchers of Guardians of the Dafeng.…
IKR, Dylan Wang in Guardians of Dafeng is gorgeous. Here when the random lady calls the ML "handsome" in the second episode I'm like "who is she looking at." The ML lacks looks or charisma. Watching a few more episodes to see if the storyline is enough to carry it.
She was so good in Judge from Hell, her acting, comedy styling was perfect. Many of the recent period dramas have been a letdown but hoping this one has a strong script!
I really wanted to like this but ended up dropping it. The main FL acts so dumb, like who in this day and age refuses an attorney. Who watches that many crime shows and refuses an attorney or speaks to the prosecution like that? Then, I feel like the director and writer really struggled to write women here that weren't one-dimensional. We have sexy older art teacher who smokes so much, has tattoos but is extremely dumb, acts pathetic and seems to have an ambigious or non-relation with her daughter. Then there is the other character: short haired, tough looking, acts like a psycopath but has a sad backstory. Something about the pacing and everything was off so I dropped it after four episodes in. Sometimes I think they write things as male characters centered and then just switch to female to make it more woman centric and that doesn't work.
This Japanese drama casting in a nutshell: We need some main cast as older men with weathered faced, strange faces, weird and ugly faces and 100 wrinkles, grotesque scars and "features" even ancient great great grandpas ghost running around like a monkey but women...nope. We will only cast two main females, both super thin delicate and tiny, one called a child (who is helpless and an annoying ass damsel) and the other still much younger than main leads, and they have to be beautiful and without a single wrinkle or sign of age or the muscle to show any kind of strength. Not even trying to beat the allegations here. This is the xth Japanese drama with this kind of casting.
I already know the character I am rooting for will die. I also am super dissapointed at the cliffhanger without any sense of whether there will be another season.
Things that are great: the stunning cinematagrophy and attention to details, really high prodution values, some beautiful choreography and fight scenes, really interesting characters (that barely get screen time), and a plot within plot that is both really obvious but also kind of layered.
Things that are not so great: the flashback pacing sometimes is off, like as soon as the flashback starts I know the character is going to die and the flashbash is supposed to make me care but I don't?, the Ainu archer and the blood spattered guy at the end and several others were far more interesting to me than ghostly man and beastly man. AND there are no strong, bulky or powerful looking women. Main lead is sad and remains sad guy, since he most likely dies I am more interested in the guy trying to get them killed while acting as their friend. The whiny "child" who can't fight but is all "find a way" can literally not survive without help and is to physically weak to even look like training would help. The highly skilled characters are most interesting and some of the die quickly or have little screen time while we get a barrage of flashbacks that don't add much.
This was decent, slightly higher quality than Zomvivor which was similar (long backstories which felt generic and predictable for the most part) in that it was setup for a sequel when it won't get one (probably). The cast here is smaller and therefore slightly better at making an impression.
Prim is excellent (and should have lead roles). Benz was great as a sarcastic dude you want to slap. Samut and Kaen were okay in that they are too prettified to look like super geeks and I am tired of Thai dramas making the geeks and nerds look like models but with glasses. Mark was so good looking (he looks like a younger brother of Nani Hirunkit) and the drama acknowledged it. Mamay did well as a natural leader and empathetic person and maybe had sort of a character arc.
Pie was terrible, I mean terrible because she barely reaches her boyfriend's waistline and also because the role she was given was to say Mark over and over again. The giant tall guy and tiny short girl is such a weird aesthetic and offputting. Thai dramas really struggle with how to depict more than one or two girls or women as a fully fleshed out characters. Don the actor was okay but he would act like a villain and then for a second back down and then villain out again but like his villain move was making a face. His problem wasn't solved by the end of the game and some of the stories were left to basically hang.
Kim So Hyun, he deserves the worst and will get it. I hope someone can have a shaman do a 정당성 justice or karma ritual that will utterly destroy him from the inside out. Rotten on the inside should be seen as rotten on the outside. Maybe some of us can get together and fund one together in Korea on our next visit or through family.
KUDOS to Won Bin for being such an upstanding guy who attended Kim Sae Ron's funeral and wept for her. PEACE AND LOVE for Kim Sae Ron and Sulli and who knows countless others harmed by trash evil people.
Quick Points: 1. Groomers know how to get kids to hide things from their parents. The pedophiles like Kim So Hyun used gifts and love bombing (apparent from the released videos and letters) to entrap the kid and keep them from telling anyone. The person on set who was responsible for her safety should be identified as they did not keep her safe (and it has been before the case that some actors, actresses and kpop idols who are from poorer backgrounds or don't have protection are actually prostituted by the entertainment management). 2. Blaming the family is a huge ??? since they might not even know what is going on. They send the kid to study center or after school and the groomer comes to pick them up. Groomers know how to manipulate kids and get around authorities. Sure the parents could have been more vigilant but its a new world where you can't leave your kid alone for a second or with a phone because of the dangers. They should feel sad for their loss and be more vigilant but it is like the parent who let their kid cross the street to get ice cream and the kid dies of an accident, they never willed it. The negligence was the adults who exploit NEVER the victims. 3. Killed herself and his birthday connection, in Korea (and East Asian cultures like in China) there was a huge history of people especially girls or women who could not get justice the legal way killing themselves to prove their claim and ask the heavens for justice. If so let the heavens send fire down on all who harmed Kim Sae Ron including those who maliciously victim blame her and excuse the horrible situation she was put in by an adult pedophile and other adults.
Kim Sae Ron and Sulli both were connected to Kim So Hyun and both committed suicide. Both were exploited by him and he left them to deal with the aftermath while hiding behind his agency and gangster cousin. If there are heavens or justice then he and his fellow abusers will wish to die but death will torture them to rot.
