Thanks for the review and have to say i am loving, LOVING this show at the moment. I didn't have much expectations…
I agree with everything that you said. I love Chu Bei Jie! As a male character he's compelling exactly because of what you said - he's straightforward, fearless and has that confidence in himself as man to wear his heart on his sleeve. Ping Ting is his match in every way. When they're together they're two peas in a pond.
Yes General & I has flaws but they're not detracting from watching the drama and the other General & I characters enhance the story and they don't waste it. When they finish their purpose they leave. This is quite new as most secondary characters tend to stay at a drama from beginning to end even when they serve no purpose after a period of time.
" I definitely was not a fan of his post-drama interviews" - what do you mean by that? Is Song Joong…
I guess you can say that! :p Lol. I read a lot of his interviews following his early works and I liked that he was more concerned about becoming a good actor rather than the flower boy image he now cultivates. He has a degree in Business Administration from Sungkyunkwan University. He's smart and his post Descendants of the Sun interviews are a smart move marketing wise but I liked the Pre Descendants actor more than I like the Post and the Pre Descendants interviews so now in order to continue to enjoy his work I don't read any of his interviews. :)
Me too, I'm feeling nostalgic. One of my first dramas and a classic one which makes me fall for Gong Yoo…
Gong Yoo on Coffee Prince was phenomenal! Cute and adorable and the ideal guy! The drama, I entirely agree, had an amazing OST! It's one of those dramas whose entire OST is wonderful to listen to! :)
Out of the big channels, I am totally in love with SBS. Impressed by Romantic Doctor and Jealousy Incarnate. Despite…
SBS had an amazing year and I share your opinion about Doctor Romantic! I was also impressed by the drama! I counted the days until it aired! I can't believe it's finished!!!
SBS was consistent in producing good quality dramas. I love Romantic Doctor totally unexpected hit. Anyways I…
I love Doctor Romantic as well! Too bad it's just finished! I was looking forward to Mondays and Tuesdays the rest of the week so that I could watch it! It would be interesting! Maybe one day they will...we can hope!
Oh wow it makes sense there are big and small channels. I never realized it before.
TVN is a small channel, it's cable, the big 3 are not so they reach a wider audience in general. I say in general, as there are dramas that TVN has produced and is currently producing that have bigger ratings than dramas airing on mainstream channels. I'm referring to the hit show Reply 1988 and most currently Goblin. For a cable channel, their ratings are beyond huge which has been solidifying TVN as a reference in high quality content production namely dramas and variety programs.
While I loved Descendants of the Sun overall OST, K.Will's Talk Love was my ultimate favorite! It's still one of my all-time K-Drama OST's of all time! :)
:) Great article! :) I didn't know that For You from Cinderella and Four Knights was sang by BTOB! I love that song and the drama was very cute! Jung Il Woo is...aww...so handsome and so talented! :)
