Ep3-4; Man, Ha Neul sure is durable lol. So essentially Ji Oh is similar to Wolverine, experimented on and doesn't remember his past ):... and why does majority of Kdramas have the ML and FL fate's intertwined that they ALWAYS- without fail, known each other since childhood or had some connections via there of.
Oooo recently saw Go Yoon Jung in Sweet Home and briefly before from He is Psychometric, thought she was very pretty. Not too sure regarding her acting as she appeared only for a limited of time. But glad she gained more tractions and now debuting her first lead role. She's young so she can build up that experience!
Great acting, pretty nice CGI and seems like they made efforts with the sets, giving that production cost is $20m. Shame the story is mediocre. If only they had better writers.
Sounds like the story of Goblin, except the Grim Reaper is now an Exorcist, instead of wanting to kill someone, he felt guilty for not having able to save her. And the Immortal is the Goblin- still wants to die, patiently waiting for that one female who's fate intertwined with him, to kill him. So original.. Sign me up :D. Can't say no to Seo Ye Ji~
Just recently finished the drama. I liked it. Although I think they were trying to do 2 different things at once. A romance/comedy in the first halve then a detective/murder mystery in the second halve. Since the story revolves around the 2 brothers and Sang-tae’s illness/trauma, I understand when they didn’t really deep dive into other mental illnesses as a whole. All actors performed well in my opinion, they were given a script and they made that character their own. Jae-su was such a bro, sticking with them for 10 years, same could be said for the manager of Moon-Yong.
At times, the drama felt a bit draggy and repetitive. There were alot of push and pulls, one episode they were happy, the next they separated and said to never see each other again. Sigh. I think beside that those 2 points, I did enjoy the drama. This is probably the second time where Kim Soo Hyun was paired up with a ‘diva’ like female character, the other one was Jun Ji Hyun from Who You Came From The Star. I hope this isn’t going to be a trend or type-cast for him. Where his character's really calm, quiet, and takes around a minute to perform a sentence while his co-star is expressive, loud, speaks incredibly fast. If that make sense...haha.
Seo Ye Ji was just ‘chef kiss’. She has gotten really prettier over the years. 9/10 for me. (:
You totally make sense. I think this question popped to me because whenever I watched a historical drama with…
There are many manyyy remakes of Jin Yong's novel. So you might be overwhelmed. However, since we're in this discussion of given you content to watch or interests, Iam going to bombard you with some of my favorite historical-costume dramas. :D
Return of the Condor Hero 2006 Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre 2002, 2017 Eternal Love 2017 - loveeee the OST Love and Destiny 2019, very similar to Eternal Love, but it has Ni NI :D.
and 2 of my top favorites: The Longest Day in Chang'an 2019 - unique premise, great acting, and cinematography Nirvana in Fire 2015 - great story, acting, and cinematography
Most of historical costume dramas are probably based on a novel of some sort, and in all novels, the ripe age is about 15-17, we rarely see main character that are over 20s or 30s . Unless it is fantasy with God and Goddesses, but I'm sure you're talking about mortal ones :D.
Anyhow, like you said- veteran actors/actresses have an edge over newbies who are starting out or even just actors/actresses in their 20s. Due to their experiences and the work that they performed, writers/directors would call dips on them (if budget allowed). Sometimes this is good for the drama as they have an experienced cast and well written script, but maybe the drawback is that it is limiting younger cast to showcase their skills. The market is super competitive.
I personally don't mind older cast portraying younger character, as long as the character itself make sense, enticing story and great delivery, then all is well.
Rather than older casts, I vomit in the thought of generically produced dramas. It's like all the writers sit at a round table taking turns saying 'Ok, you do this synopsis for March, and I'll do it for June, and the next person for September, September too soon? OK do it next year May'. But I'm a historical-costume-drama-watching-trash, I'll probably tune in and watch some of it anyways...T_T...cue all of Jin Yong's remakes...
Oh boy, it's getting draggy for the latest episodes. Guess they have to do this to drag out to 40 episodes, hence…
Ah yes, but I think this is one of those type of drama where you don't need maximum effort to pay attention as the plot isn't heavy. Just put it in the background and relax :D.
I'm really liking this but did they really cut it from being 70 episodes to 36? Or are they going to make it two…
Oh noo...this sounds so similar to Dance of the Sky Empire. I think that drama had 60 episodes, but they cut it down to 28. So the transition from one scene to another is very disjointed and does not make sense. So I'm guessing for this drama they also already filmed 70 episodes and now they have to cut down about halve that size and try to make a story out of it...
Zhao Lusi will star in "The Long Ballad" in a role that will definitely be more serious, so if you're interested,…
Ah yes, thanks for the reminder. I saw the trailer a while back on her future projects. It looks promising, the fight sequences and choreography seems legit as well. (:
Wow. Zhao Lusi can act really well. However I hope that they can give her different roles in the future, I wanted to see her range. Not type-casting into silly roles every time. Wasting her potential.
Why are the subtitles so awful and incorrect. I understand maybe 10% Mandarin but the English subs make no sense!
Because it's from Mango TV >.>. They seems to be only rely on Google Translate or using translators with very minimal understanding of the language. There was an episode earlier where the General was like 'Prince, if you like blow job so much, continue to blow'.
Is this drama any good? I'm not that into poetry so I'm scared that it's boring but currently I'm only watching…
IMO, I really liked this drama. It is not all about poetry, although that is one of its focuses. As they do not drown you with it on every episodes. The FL lead is really timid, naive and innocent, but you do see her character change and develop into someone more confident by those that are around her. So don't get frustrated when you watch (:. Let character development do its job. Interactions are cute between the leads. Even 2nd leads are funny, too.
Although to fully experience the poetry, the dialogue and drama, I suggest you pick a translation group that does not rely on Google translate. Vikii, MZTV or KUKAN is my go-to.
I strongly recommend watching. Who knows, you might wait on this like Maiden Holmes :D.
Our Little Monkey went from crying to whoopin' the guard's @ss! Although she can't pass as a male when cross dressing, but I appreciate the small effort she made to deepen her voice. Hahah.
I like the life lesson in episode 17. Just because of your birth circumstances or how poor you are, it doesn't necessary reflect on your personal growth or as a person. Everyone should have the privileged and freedom to learn. Bless Dr. Xuan's heart for being a great teacher.
In these tried times, I am privileged enough to be sittin' my butt at home in comfort watching a drama. Big thank you to all the teachers out there, essential workers, medical staffs, cleaning lady, delivery man and many more, for contributing and helping us!
Nobody:My thoughts rn: soo Sabrina Chen is not only cross dressing in this drama but another and both ml are the…
Ahh, My Unicorn Girl. I am also watching that after I realized she starred in it. I guess cross dressing is her type. Haha.
The ML diagnostic in My Unicorn Girl reminds me of the ML in The Beauty Inside (Korean2018), he has the same issue with facial recognition. Both dramas have completely different plot, just thought its fun to point out the same illness both leads has. I guess ML in her next drama better take good care of his eyes. :D.

The way she cry was so natural, it's impressive.

Young Blood has a really strong FL throughout the series without losing her character, if you're interested and hadn't seen it!
