On Marry My Husband Jan 14, 2024
So far, one of the better "die to be reborn for revenge" Kdramas. Well, so far.

Choi Gyu Ri is certainly making a good impression. Nice to see some others making some appearances to.

Different story but same plot idea (copy?) from tvn I could wait for this. The time travel thing like perfect…
Some Kdrama's about someone dying and then being reborn or waking up in the past to have their revenge. What makes them different is the style, acting, and twists. Such stories are along the lines of "The Count of Monte Cristo" except that the Count was "reborn" without having to die and without the time travel. Plenty of sci-fi literature and film out there regarding the subject.

Liking this one so far. No continuity problems so far. Good acting. Nice twists. Choi Gyu Ri is certainly making a great impression.

IU is fantastic.

Didn't even know who IU was when I started watching Kdramas and encountering lines such as, "Does she think she is IU?" Then watched "Hotel De Luna", such a classic. Followed by "My Mister", another wonderful performance by IU.

While I am partial to her music, weatching her musical performances shows that she is a true artist in every sense of the word.

I loved her in “Love me love my voice”, now I’m watching “My Boss” and surprised to see her again. I…
I first watched her in "Lucky's First Love" (also titled "The World Owe's Me A First Love"). She made quite the impression with her acting. Then seeing her in "Love Me, Love My Voice" where she was even better. Now, in "My Boss", I was surprised to see her, where I look forward to what litte screen time she has.

She is so under-rated. It's hard to understand why she has not had more main roles...

IT IS A FACT that he actively supported a prostitution trafficking ring and bought the bodies of young girls with…
"...and the manager of the place was literally his drug dealer."

Except that the police have no evidence and LSK passed all drug tests and he was never charged with buying prostitutes. Most clubs even in the sh*tty little city I live in have escorts who frequent crappy little bars downtown. I've been in clubs the world over and there are always prostitutes. Alcohol, men, and money make for clientele. Now, just because I've been to clubs where some prostitutes happen to frequent does not mean that I have partaken. I have not. Drugs are also a feature of every club I have ever patronized in my entire life. Does not mean I've partaken.

You blabbered about drugs and LSK as if that were fact. When the fact is? No evidence, no proof, seems to be a set up. You blabbered about prostitutes. If you have ever been to a club? You have been around prostitutes and/or drugs. Most likely both at the same time. Whether you knew it or not. Does that make you a john and drug user? No.

Did the police make the case for drug use by LSK? No. Did the police who investigated the clubs charge him with visiting underage prostitutes? No. Did anyone try to - and this is IMPORTANT - blackmail LSK with charges of using underage prostitutes? Because that sort of black mail would be FAR MORE EFFECTIVE than attempting to blackmail LSK with allegations of drug use. Allegations that have proven demonstrably false.

Your belief in LSK's guilt is built on quicksand. Until evidence - whether circumstantial or solid - is obtained... none of your allegations are backed by any sort of fact whatsoever.

Once again, I've been to clubs and bars from tiny towns to some very exclusive clubs. None of them were without the odd prostitute or availability of drugs. I've almost never walked into a club without being, at the very least, offered drugs. The larger the club, the more often that prostitutes - underage or not - are circulating among the crowd. Yes, from small town America to mega-clubs in Moscow to Mumbai... I've been there. Among the top 1%? Try top 0.1% of the world. Met them. Most are unpleasant. Very few are actually nice people though those are usually the newer entrants to the 1% and 0.1%.

Just finished watching Revenant again. That moment in Episode 11 alone with Kim Tae Ri's character... you really can feel her emotion there.

One can't say enough bad things about the S.K. netizens who went too far in hounding him. Lee Sun Kyun stands way above them even in death. One of their best and brightest in representing Korean culture and how do many of them repay him for helping elevate Korean culture to the world stage? As if they were perfect? Disgusting and disgraceful is what they are. Does it make them feel better that they drove someone to suicide... more like murder-by-proxy. Are they jumping up and down in joy having found meaning in their lives? How sick are they?

The world lost a great actor. May his family find peace and love.

Was going to watch my mister. Now I just feel I'll be crying buckets if i start it now.
One of the best Kdramas, hands down. Him and IU are absolutely magnificent acting in My Mister.

From what I am reading, he passed several drug tests performed by authorities. A woman(?) from some Gangnam club alleged that he used drugs. If she lied, I support a murder charge against her.

Like others posted before me, Park Min Young's latest choices of rom-com after rom-com is lackluster. I too enjoyed her performance in Healer, City Hunter, and What Is Wrong With Secretary Kim. Love in Contract was interesting. Her Private Life I finished as I enjoyed the cast and story. Both were just good enough to keep me interested. However, typecasting herself - either because of her management or her own choices - is doing her no favors. Her other dramas of late have been so-so. I stopped watching "Forecasting..." and "When The Weather...".

I love her as an actress. Again, her latest choices are doing her no favors.

Title Death's Game
There's something called 'fuzzy search' which MDL needs to implement, its a decades old tech and should already…
@ lupisohu I used google and not even google delivered me anywhere near to anything related to "Death's Game kdrama". It did get me to some Canadian(?) show "Death's Game" but that was it. Only after I looked up Park So Dam on Wikipedia followed by 2 other searches using esoteric magical incantations as search terms did I come to this page. Google now deliver search pages related to the Kdrama "Death's Game" now that I have visited this page. Only after I found this page will Google now give me relevant search results.

I wonder what search engine kisskh uses... I've been to many websites whose searches are powered by Google and none of them worked.

Title Death's Game

If you are using google? If another search engine? Just bad programming. Google is an ad company running a search engine. Google is slightly above being the dregs of the search engine world with the rest being the dregs. There is a term for it now in English language: ensh*tification when an online platform (or service) is monetized to the point of all but being useless.

Google was caught paying Apple up to $16 billion - yes SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS - in one year just to remain the default "search engine" - AD DELIVERY ENGINE - on Apple products. To keep serving ads as well as using their own ad mononpoly to manipulate ad placement and direct ad revenue to their own Google accounts. Search engines are excuses to deliver ads.

Normally, a search engine should be able to parse "deaths game" into "death's game" for a search.

Google could be any evil corporation in a Kdrama. Which reminds me of Search: WWW

My first time really seeing her in a leading role in "Perfect Marriage Revenge". I am liking her acting very much and she is teamed up with Sung Hoon from "My Secret Romance" which was one of the first five Kdrama's I ever watched. Enjoying Jung Yoo Min's acting.

True. The webtoon is much better.
Late reply. Reading the book is always better. Look at the recent movie, "Dune". As stunning as it is visually and with good actors, it will never capture what the book is. I think, maybe, there was one or two movies that somehow managed to be almost or as good as the book but I can not recall.

Books and the movies based on them - or web toons or whatever medium - the movies, film, or drama never capture everything. Film is generally the inferior to the written work.

Title Doona!
There is multiple hint that they are still dating in secret
Doona! had some issues at some spots that left me scratching my head. Overall, not a bad translation.

Worked as translator and English consultant for Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish - mostly in music industry. Music makes translating movies, books, and film look like child's play. I've watched enough Kdrama to pick out when translations are not faithful or literal. It's damn hard work in translations involving context, cultural references, translating from one cultural reference to another (baseball reference in American English to Russian where baseball is not a thing - have to pick football (soccer) reference then). It is a pain in the a**. Refused to translate medical or legal as that left one open to prison time and/or sanctions or potentially being liable for manslaughter (medical translation gone wrong that resulted in death). You would be surprised.

I've seen my fair share of trash translations - mostly in movies which are epically cringeworthy as if someone used Google Translate to save money on upfront payment and royalties - enough to say that Netflix is not bad though it has some issues; Doona being no exception. The translator was a little subpar as far as I could pick up with some translation oddities in certain instances that were confusing to say the least.

Look up Agnieska's Chylinska's "Winna" (English title is "Wicked") MV - the English version. It's translated as "Wicked". The literal translation of Winna is "Guilty". However, given the context of the song and lyrics, the better translation is "Wicked". If we had had to do a literal translation, the song would have ended up as verbal chop-suey trash garbage with no rhyme or context. Not only must a translator hit the stresses and accents on each word, we have to have rhyme and context that convey to the audience the emotional and verbal meaning of the song. Music translation involves training one's ears to pick up the subtleties of the singer's voice, for instance.

Translation is not easy. No matter the medium.

Right now, I'm watching a C-drama. It is well, interesting.

Title Doona!
Shin Hye Sun's role from See You In My 19th Life, is kinda a same as Doona. A flirting expert but only with one…
Shin Hye Sun's role was spectacular the way she acted it; however the story had some issues but I still give that one 10/10. Suzy is also spectacular with Doona. They both manage to make you feel their roles leap off the screen. However, I have to give Shin Hye Sun much credit as the "diction fairy" and projecting emotions from screen while Suzy has a greater repertoire of acting breadth. I don't know which one I would like more if asked.
