I watched Big only for Gong Yoo, it was definitely a BIG failure. I disagree with Rooftop Prince though. I don't…
I agree with you about RP. Right there in the middle, they went on live shooting and that is where it showed its weakness. And I agree they ended with everything tied up--although I thought the tie-ups were mispaired. (I wanted a totally different ending and I cried heaps when it didn't.)
For me it was Faith and half Bridal Mask...oh and recently Missing You.
on my top 5. Haven't come across any other historical drama which is as daring as Gaksital. Granted, they could have done without the added episodes but in comparison, the story is so magnanimous it makes the repetition minute.
Yeah, Rooftop Prince, looking back, some loose ends, live shooting and fan service. But I think the ending was decided from the start although the episodes filled out differently (does it show that I'm watching KoD? I am learning a lot from the drama).
I can't say anything more for DH2--oh no wait there is. It's a cacophony.
Tsk. TTBY is sitting at my CW list for eternity. I better get a move on--like one episode at a time perhaps...
I don't think I'll ever get to watch Big in the next few years--almost everybody says it's a let down! I've seen…
Thanks for your advice; I will think about it.
I understand what you mean about rating a drama based on the final or last few episodes. Although we usually rate a drama as a whole based on story, acting and stuff, I think there will always be a handful of dramas that will be rated by the way they ended.
Endings can give a lasting impression to a drama and is as equally important as the drama's other parts because it can sway with the kind of satisfaction it leaves its viewers.
I don't think I'll ever get to watch Big in the next few years--almost everybody says it's a let down! I've seen AGD, Reply 1997 and FBRS. Out of the F4 ahjusshis, I liked Tae San ahjusshi the best--because he's not only the funniest and the most logical but also the nastiest (badmouth)! FBRS was fluff and Reply 1997--need I say more?
I put WR on hold...I didn't feel much for the plot...am currently watching KoD and it's surprisingly good! Alice in Cheongdamdong sounds interesting as well.
this is entertaining, but seriously, does any one else get sick of watching these people sit at a friggin table…
Sageuks probably aren't the genre for you. People 'sitting at a friggin table and talking' is a pretty common scene in sageuks, and to you these may be saying the same things 'over and over and over again,' to a few people like me these scenes were the reason behind the actions in the drama.
I viewed these scenes as how people in that era valued collective discussion, who they listen to and why that person held that kind of power over others, how just by sitting at a table people can throw daggers with their words, challenge each other without drawing their swords, build power and topple the other using words.
I think Faith suffered for being aired later in the year. By the time it was being aired I was like 'it's another time-travelling sageuk, am I gonna have another RP type of ending or what?'
Your reviews are short and light; they're not overly critical of the dramas, which I appreciate. Can't wait for the next installment. :)
