Love Affairs In The Afternoon (2019) is the Korean remake of the 2014 Japanese drama Hirugao: Love Affairs in the Afternoon and tells a story about not one, but several lives whose destinies intertwine, some that look very normal on the surface , but in depth they differ like day and night. Son Je Eun is a young and beautiful Ahjumma who works part-time at a market and whose husband is a government employee. A mother of two, Choi Soo Ah is also the owner of a prosperous household, whose husband owns a publishing house. Apparently she has an enviable lifestyle, which makes Je Eun feel awkward about her life. These two women, who seem to be from two different worlds, meet and realize that they live in parallel worlds - both unhappy and empty. And they both open the door to a new world, which frees them from the chains that press them, but bring other burdens in return. Brief topic: Son Ji Eun, whose husband is more concerned with his birds than she is, and Yoon Jung-Woo, a high school teacher whose wife has lived abroad for 3 years, are two young people accustomed to mediocre marriages who do not they have never done anything crazy in their lives. They are virtuous people who always do what is right, whether for their partner or for their job, and enjoy the little joys they occasionally receive from life. They are not sad, but neither are they happy. They just have monotonous lives. Of course, everything changes when they meet and develop deep, real feelings for each other. Yoon Jung-Woo fights a lot with himself, but ends up being attracted to Son Ji-Eun and gives up. On the other hand, Son Ji-Eun's pure heart cannot imagine that he will ever cross a line until he meets Choi Soo-A. The relationship between Son Ji-Eun and Yoon Jung-Woo arises from many processes of consciousness but also from a strong attraction that none of them can overcome. Unfortunately it has a bitter taste, because it is not the ideal love story and this is a theme that is repeated throughout the drama: an adventure is not love, it is just betrayal! "Is it really happening?" "I can't do this" "But I can't live without him / her" "I'm a horrible person" "I don't deserve anything" "I pray God will punish me". These are the constant thoughts of our characters. They look at each other with love stained with sadness. The guilt they constantly feel prevents them from fully enjoying what they have together and inevitably makes the viewer feel the same way. It's absolutely amazing how "Love Affairs In The Afternoon" managed to tell us the story of an adventure without turning us into judges. Compared to the romanticized way in which Western films develop the subject of a relationship that starts from an adventure, we will see here a more reserved, but more accurate description of what the forbidden relationship is in fact. Love is fully present, but it is not always enough, and an adventure never involves only the two. In Korea, it involves in addition to life partners and family and in-laws, not to mention public disgrace, disapproval and obvious disgust of co-workers, neighbors or acquaintances. The whole ecosystem of our characters is thrown into chaos, simply because they could not stop their feelings. How sad! With a slow action, with extremely deep characters (excellently portrayed) and a topic that remains an open debate, the drama has managed to break down prejudices and reluctance and is an incredible journey that forces you to reflect on the incredibly thin line between desire and sin, between love and lust, between good and evil and the list goes on .... Noting that despite the subject I instinctively disagreed with for various reasons, I started this drama without prejudice and was gradually captivated by the candor of the characters, the fluency of the script and the finesse of the two actresses: Park Ha Sun and Choi Soo A. The Korean version seemed to me by far more sensitive, sweeter and more pleasant than the Japanese one.

He did such an impressive job as a beginner and he deserves all our applause! It's gorgeous! “It wasn't an easy and simple role to behave exactly like a blind man, but this actor did an excellent job of capturing feelings, expressions and movements. 👉The music part or the OSTs were fascinating!

Here are some of the strengths of C-Drama The Long Ballad that are worth watching. ✔The drama The Long Ballad is a controversial Mandarin drama. Filming for The Long Ballad itself began in 2019. (wow, that's how I reacted!) It is a Mandarin drama that has become a hot topic of conversation among Internet users, because it is considered that this drama threatens unity, undermines the sovereignty of the state and distorts history. Perhaps this controversy provoked so many spectators that The Long Ballad was much anticipated just before the screening day earlier this month. ✔The Long Ballad is about a rebellion led by the royal prince Li Shi Min (played by actor Geng Le). He even tried to kill his brother, Li Jiancheng - who is the father of the heroine Chang Ge (played by Liu Jin Long). ✔Li Jiancheng's daughter, named Li Chang Ge (played by Dilraba Dilmurat) escaped and disguised herself as a man. Chang Ge hopes to gather an army to kill Li Shi Min and avenge the death of his mother and family. ArBut before watching the 50 episodes of the historical drama on Viki or Athanase's Blog that is in progress, here are some reasons we should know. ☯ 1. It is not an ordinary drama of revenge. The Long Ballad is the kind of historical drama that includes: romance but also adventure. Even if it tells the story of the revenge of our heroine Li Chang Ge (Dilraba Dilmurat) for the death of her family, we are also presented with the political intrigue in the context of the Tang dynasty. Things will become difficult when Li Chang Ge loses the siege of General Ashina Sun (played by actor Leo Wu). Even if revenge is really a main goal of our heroine Li Chang Ge, there are still friends, romance and betrayals that will appear during the action in the drama. ❤2.Dilraba Dilmurat folds perfectly as the main character. She is a very talented actress and she always convinces us of this fact. She started her acting career in 2013. Her acting talent is proven with over 20 nominations at numerous awards. In addition to being very good at acting, Dilireba is also known for her music skills. Most of the songs he sings are the soundtracks from the dramas and movies in which he played. ❤ 3. Considered the “Little Brother of the Nation” actor Leo Wu is the main character. Leo Wu plays Ashina Sun, a general who loves Li Chang Ge. As a small parenthesis - I really want him to have a long way in his profession, but after what happened to Khris Wu, but also with other actors or artists I am more skeptical. ❤Leo Wu made his acting debut in Chinese television drama "The Legend and the Hero" (2007) as a child. He first gained attention for his roles in children's television dramas. Leo Leo Wu's ascending career made him included in China's Forbes list under 30, for the category of 30 people who have a great influence in their field under the age of 30 in China. (God help be good luck.) ☯ 4. All well-known actors who play in The Long Ballad are appreciated and very talented, who together manage to make the story a very charming one. Actor Liu Yuning played Hao Du, the general in charge of assassinating Li Chang Ge. Liu Yuning is a singer and actor. He is the soloist of the rock band Modern Brothers. (I didn't know that but looking for information I also found out) ☯ Actress Zhao Lusi played our heroine's cousin Li Chang Ge, named Li Leyan. We all know this actress Zhao Lusi who, although new to acting, has won two categories of best actress at various events. I remind her that she played in Dating in the Kitchen. AltAnother reason that completes the story, are the wonderful costumes, costumes, landscapes that are fabulous! It really deserves to be watched and appreciated! I wholeheartedly recommend it! I consider it a royal CDrama. I hope that by the end I can say that it is one that deserves to be in the top 3! note: Sina News awards the series "The Long Ballad": -Top 10 The most appreciated TV series🏆 -Quality actress, quality actor 🏆 for the actors in the main roles, Dilraba Dilmurat and Leo Wu Lei!
