Does no one ever walk anywhere in this drama? Lol. So far, majority of the scenes the characters are already at their destination. Has anyone watch Sword Dynasty? It is similar to how it was filmed. I was hoping it to be a bit different. This feels like sets and scenes instead of real places.
Is her acting really that good or does she have a backer? She didn't even go to a film college... Why is her credit…
IMO, for a newbie actress and who is also young, she acted pretty well. From some interview I saw her in, she seemed pretty competent as an individual and very likable. Since she's young, she still got time to improve her self and branch out to a more diverse genre and conditioned herself.
I replied to your post point by point to make you notice that you didn't paid attention enough to the show, but…
Heya, I might of overlooked some things like you said, so I went back and rewatch the first 2 episodes :D.
Are you referring to the part where the maid saw Lige's bracelet and then informed Madam Shen, since she oversee that orphanage? I saw it on the first watch through, that's why I mentioned that it was too coincidental. Or are you referring to Lige's master had planned to let Lige wore the bracelet from A'niu, as a 'plan B' process when the assassination failed? Since the master had such a vendetta against Prince Jing (assuming he did background check), why wouldn't he just let A'nu or Lige be found by the Shen family first, consummate the marriage with Prince Jing based on their Grandfather's agreement, and assassinate him. Save lives and easier process?
Of course this is a drama and it shouldn't always be perfect. That's why I just wanted to mention some minor stuff. Doesn't mean the drama is bad in anyway. But since it is a lengthy drama, minor points can bottled up. Of course, watching an episode without seeing the next, I might missed what the writer intended purpose is.
I really hate it when we have great actor/actress for the roles, but the script is just not up to par. I mean we have a long way to go, since it's 50 episodes. I might just be talkin outa my @ss right now. Lol.
Just finished episode 4. The fighting sequence and choreography is extremely satisfying so far. I can tell how much work they put in.
Just some minor issues I have, some things was rather just too coincidental or not making sense to me.
1. FL tried to assassinate the Prince, got chased and hid out. Coincidentally, there's a mother who's husband is an important military general, suddenly appeared and claim she's the mother, thus saving the FL lead. 2. FL lead happens to swoosh in a boat in the middle of the night as a high level martial artist, and not realizing there's already someone inside, who is clearly IN FRONT of her. Got spooked out, and drawn her sword. Additionally, that person is the Prince. The Prince also has a high level martial artist bodyguard that shadowed him, how can that guard let her just waltz in to begin with. 3. She carries the bracelet token outside when she's on her assassinating job. Now that's just asking people to recognize who you are. She's killing a high ranking officer, how can that mistake be made. D:
I do really want to believe that the writer intent for those things to happen are 1) to show how hot tempered and unrestrained the FL lead is. 2) She did it on purpose (most likely not) or 3) trying to have scenes of the Prince and her meeting early on, no matter how 'coincidence' it is, just so we'll have a love line.
I have always enjoyed Li Qin's work. I'll keep watching and see how all these will unfolds.
There was a war on The King; Eternal Monarch's page, and since that drama ended and Backstreet Rookie took its place, people started to migrated over? :D.
The drama seems to aim for the comical/lighthearted route as exaggerated sounds effects of punching, and flying happening throughout the drama. I quite enjoyed it, seems very silly.
I enjoyed Ji Chang Wook's past drama and think he is a good actor. I appreciate Kim Yoo Jung's acting ability as a child star, she has great talent. I hadn't watch any of her latest drama besides this one. She has grown to be a beautiful, matured woman. I'll stick around for a bit and see how the next few episodes are being developed.
Also, comment sections a sht show, hypocrites everywhere.
This drama reminds me of Let's Eat series, but with more romance. It has alot of cameos (CLOY, 2NE1's Dara, Player's(2018)). Na Eun is in here so hopefully they can cameo Apink members as well :D.
I think its a nice drama to watch weekly. Nice OSTs. Glad Seo Ji Hye finally having a lead role. She's super charismatic in CLOY but she's adorable in here. It is a nice change. She's also oh very attractive *chef kiss*.
Just finished Season 1. Loved it. Absolutely loved it. If you hadn't had the chance to watch it or thinking about it, please watch it! You won't be disappointed!
Great casting, great chemistry! This isn't your usual kdrama where you got a villain, an antagonist with a vengeance or something to do with 'justice'. This is merely 5 friends who happens to had the same idea and profession, growing up together and developed into a beautiful relationship. I would say this is more in-line of a western sitcom than a typical Korean drama. Really reminded me of Gentleman Dignity.
Supporting casts are all so likable too!
Season 2 is far away, but with how good Season 1 was, Im anticipating it.
I agree with you about the main ML and FL have zero chemistry. I have not seen many episodes but I have seen many…
Kim Go Eun as a detective in this drama seems like the happy-go-lucky type, I do agree that I am not sold on her being a detective. Lee Min Ho isn't a bad actor, nor is he that great as fans have said. But I do liked his acting in Gangnam Blue, I thought it was great. Maybe he plays one too many roles as a rich, smart, chaebol lead, that it is now watered down to many of his casting. I'd like to see him deviate from that trope into something more, challenge himself, would be refreshing.
I was anticipating this drama, since it is Kim Go Eun. I like her as an actress, I believe she can deliver and portray her character very well. After watching episode 1 and 2, I had a favorable impression; interesting plot line, unique ideas, this drama could be really great like the writer's other dramas. I tried to keep up (watched episode 6) and could not figure out how this is the same writer as Goblin/Mr. Sunshine. It is simply a messy.
The leads had little to zero chemistry. When they're together, we're supposed to feel a connection or romance, but I don't feel anything. Most of the time, it felt forced. It is so bad that I had to go back and watch Goblin, to feel the chemistry, the reasoning, a decent story.
Do Hwan had great acting skills in My Country: The New Age, he is undervalued. He should of been the King here. Hopefully the drama gets better, and that I am wrong. But I had hoped for the past 4 episodes already...):
The ending was kind of anti-climatic for me. The big reveal of Eraser doesn't give me an "Ohsht" moment, but more of "oh". I was open to everyone and anyone being the Eraser, since they made it super vague in the drama, but didn't think it was Bang Jung Suk's secretary.
So the NIS knew abut Dong Baek and his Sister from way back then. While the Eraser is rampaging killing people, NIS stays silent. I'm guessing because the Eraser is not making things 'complicated' or 'national level' enough for NIS to intervene, so they ignored it, even if more people die. HMmmmm.
The beginning was good, keep you focus, then it kinds of fall off midway. Maybe the Eraser can erase my memory off of this drama.
Finished episode 14. Still not convinced Head Fire Chief is the Eraser. Earlier episodes showing the Eraser jumped off of a 2 story building, did a barrel roll and seemed athletic, male. The Fire Chief is old.
Trying to recap all related events and to better understand the story.
Event 20 years ago: -Chairwoman Hwang Pil Seon is Jae Gyu's half sister -She killed his Mom, and her son (Bang Joon Suk) killed Moon Yong Kang's (he's not listed in the cast) brother and raped Fire Chief's daughter. -Eraser killed 7 people 20 years ago (those 7 people related to Moon Yong Kang’s brother's death); Jae Gyu, Young Dong Baek and Deputy Chief were present and supposedly another person, 170cm+ tall. -Deputy Chief and Chun Gi Soo (police officer) buried the case. -Dong Baek's Mom is murdered. Why was Dong Baek present, why is he not dead. He only retained that memory and nothing else. -Sun Mi's Dad is murdered, supposedly by a person wearing a mask (Eraser? Maybe someone else, was it Jae Gyu? I completely forgot...). Her Dad causes other people suffering and suicide. Drama hinted that the Eraser is killing people who has sinned and deserves to die, or kill/torture innocent family members of related sinned person for more dramatic and cruel effect. -Reporter Jo Sung Dong was first at the scene of Sun Mi’s father murdered and his partner, the camera guy.
Currently: -Dong Baek lost his childhood memory and joined the police force when he grew older. -Sun Mi also became an officer. -People that Dong Baek suspected died one after another due to their sin. Eraser mentioned that whoever Dong Baek touches will die next, and I am assuming only if the person has sinned, because Sun Mi was fine, and so was Dong Baek’s partner and team chief. -Park Gil Dan (pastor) died. Dong Baek was at the scene the night prior. -Eraser threatened Jae Gyu to become a red herring so he (Eraser) can kill more. -Reporter Jo Sung Dong died. Eraser jumped a 2 story building, did a barrel roll, seems athletic, male. -Noh Kwan Gyu [Shimbae firefighter] was plotted to be murder against when he went into that fire building (ep 11), because he witnessed the scene 20 years ago. -Jae Gyu dies and mentions Eraser relating to Dong Baek, and also Cho Won. -The Eraser is working with Moon Yong Kang. -Chun Gi Soo’s son died due to him covering up the event 20 years ago. -The Deputy Chief’s son almost died due to him covering up the event 20 years ago. -Bang Joon Suk’s wife and unborn child nicknamed Cho Won is held captive by the Eraser, and he wants Dong Baek to die. -Chairwoman Hwang Pil Seon is said to be the main cause for all of this. -Current suspect is the Fire Chief as the Eraser.
Question: Why did the Eraser wait 20 years to take action?
I am liking the episodes so far. Great filmography, acting, and OST. Since it's only the first 2 episodes, I'll give it a bit more time to ramp up to the main plot, otherwise, I enjoyed it.
1. Emperor Yi Gon doesn't seem like an actual good leader or ruler...lol, going places by himself without bodyguards, he must know that he isn't just anyone, he is the King of a country. I guess that's why this is a fantasy drama. 2. Km Go Eun is really really attractive, always loved her acting. 3. Since this writer is known for fantasy element, I am going to take a wild guess and say that the person who saved young Yi Gon is his bodyguard Jo Young or Jo Eun Sup, while using Jung Tae's name tag, traveling back in time.
Way too early to tell, but hey, it's fun to guess :D.
All other Cdrama writers, please update this info ASAP. Then we wouldn't have filler episodes just to find out who's who. Lol.
