Does it even make any sense? 💭 Well not to me atleast
Well, it can be a tax writeoff. In The US, the carry-forward rule means that if you lose $$$, companies can claim tax deductions equal to 80% of the value of the losses, over multiple years. Until the company recovers their money.
You think all those Disney losses on their Star Wars franchises does not have a purpose? Tax writeoffs for investors in Disney, usually Wall Street types.
Probably just Americanising it; everyone speaks English, culture-swap Korean with American, maybe go full retard…
Americanising it usually means hiring former WWE wrestlers who think they can act, throwing in some bad guys or zombies, with the location being Las Vegas or something similar. With the typical square-jawed blonde with fake b00bs that are popping out of her crop top. Throw in lots of explosions, drugs, and car chases...
Hmmm.... and I was just wrapping up Dr. Romantic Season 3... while watching Dear Hyeri and The Judge From Hell (Park Shin Hye's facial expressions are to die for - she has the best expressions).
Can I do another Dr. K-Drama just yet? I'll add this to the list of "watch".
The expressions Park Shin Hye displays in the show are disturbingly delightful. Her character comes across as absolutely relishing her duties.
How to classify this Kdrama? Difficult. Dark Fantasy (bordering on comedy) with a likeable anti-hero who - while not infallible - meets out justice the old fashioned way. It is disturbing to like the character of Kang Bitna so much.
Looking at the statue of Justitia, the blindfold. Justice is blind. Sometimes it can't see the truth.
Is there some comedy in this or does it have a serious vibe?
Dark fantasy comedy featuring an anti-hero of a Lawful Evil nature. But being Lawful Evil would not be that accurate giving some of the lines of Kang Bitna. I might take out comedy and just label it,
Modern dark fantasy featuring an anti-hero who punishes criminals in her own manner, while being held responsible by a higher power for her own wrong-doings. When justice is blind, Justice can not always see the truth. Kang Bitna/Justitia/Justice is not infallible.
In two episodes, the show has crossed so many boundaries of genres in such a comprehensive and cohesive way (despite…
I have to say that Park Shin Hye's acting as Kang Bitna is still psyopathically disturbing, yet I still can't stop loving her LE nature.
Thinking about it, she's the old form of justice found in most of human history. She even was punished for violating the tenants that Justitia is supposed to hold. Like Justice in our modern courts, she is not infallible.
I would not agree with the methods of justice portrayed in the show, however. Let's not forget that we're dealing with a dark fantasy romance with a loveable anti-hero. I never did like Dexter from Dexter. Kang Bitna? Likeable, in a disturbing manner.
I'm going to have to write up so 5e D&D stats sometime as a demi-god of Justice. I once wrote up 3 secretaries as 5e NPC's from a Chinese drama because they were so well done.
She is known as the "diction fairy" for her pronunciation of Korean language. She is also too good at projecting her role from the screen, having the viewer feel the character's emotions and state. The bridge scene from "See You in My 19th Life" is just powerful. Shin Hye Sun does it again with Dear Hyeri.
Dear Hyeri is a slow burn, the fuse being lit as we watch it consume the powder in a fascinatingly slow manner. Some people are confused by it but I find no issue with consistency. The show starts off with a lot of questions and by the 4th episode, the viewer is starting to get answers. There is just so much to speculate about the show and characters and where it may be going - meaning the writer's are doing a good job so far.
Is she really evil though? She gets punished when she made mistakes and punishes those who are... well... murderers and such. I'm not agreeing with Justitia's ways as portrayed in the show.
Still, it is hard not to like the character. Because I do.
Consider, modern justice system versus the "goddess" of Justice from ancient times - when Justice was practiced a little *just a little* differently - whose statue adorns many a court house.
My modern standards, she could be considered amoral. By the ancient standards she comes from, Justitia is the normal one.
People get tripped up with imposing our modern standards on the ancient past. What was acceptable then, was not acceptable now.
From playing a husband - in SEARCH: WWW - who had unrequited love to his wife, so much so that he would do anything for her and did... his role was instrumental in how the show resolved the plot.
...to playing the cheating husband opposite Jang Na Ra.
Guy is a hell of an actor.... I've never seen him in a bad role. Wish him the best.
That was more shocking as it was unexpectedly detailed and how they pulled off the "punishment" hallucination sequence.
From 10 on the quirky humorous plotting judge demon ... and then... BAM... she dialed it to 11 on the other side. With a smooth transition.
The whole sequence and "flipping the switch" was unexpected. The violence is no worse than many fight scenes in a Kdrama that I've watched (I find it amusing people complaining about it).

Have you seen the trash that is Obliterated?
Texas girl landing across the border into hands of Mexican drug lords - Human traffickers?
Then there was Flex x Cop. And a few others.

I do seem to be jonesing for a crime Kdrama.

And it is Park Shin Hye. Every time she gets that crazed look in her eyes as if she is really acting the role... It's... WOW.

Shin Hye Sun simply is so far above the Hollywood crowd that passes itself off - and poorly at that - as entertainment.
