new update on the Gong Yoo situation: according to Soompi (see here: https://www.soompi.com/article/1508634wpp/gong-yoo-drops-out-of-talks-for-kingdom-writer-kim-eun-hees-new-drama…
Good thing for me I guess. Recently every script he chooses I end up disliking.
I'm torn between keep watching and dropping this. It's interesting, clearly underrated and I really wanna know where some of the splash team members will end up. But on the other hand, I'm taking too long for this which usually means it's not thrilling or thought provoking enough for me to enjoy. Maybe come back to it later when I need a slower ride.
I wish they hadn't done the original translator so dirty. Certainly left a bad taste in my mouth.
I understand your point. But if this was all, it'd be ok. My problem is Sevenseas hired the fan translator for the official TGCF translation but didn't do so for MDZS. Probably to lessen the expenses of working with two translators. What's worse is I've heard they did use some of the innovative words the MDZS fan translator had made. Judging by the (granted, very immature) post the fan translation editor posted on Facebook, she was heartbroken. Even though she'd expressed support for the official release, everyone knows that she'd put in lots of time and effort into MDZS. And judging by the fan translation, she's very talented. As a translator myself, I find it morally wrong. And what's morally wrong cannot be excused just by being legal. Also, thinking about the great things it could start for a very talented person, it just leaves a bitter taste.
Nothing as great or extraordinary as the hype suggests. But entertaining. Which is what you normally expect from a drama. Just fast forward the first 2 episodes. The last episode was impressive though.
It's not really a thriller. It's a psychological thriller. Meaning the focus is on human behaviour so the zombies…
What you said can describe most dramas. Nothing to do with psychological thriller which is one of the most complicated plots to write which is why I like it. This is not it.
Take Liar Game for example, an actual psychological thriller. Clever mind games, complex character actions and usually a bit of dark tone. None of it here. In this, almost everyone keeps making illogical decisions and dumb mistakes, characters are simple and there's as much color in it as a romantic comedy. Can you really say this drama is in the same category as Bad Guys and Voice? There's a reason this is not tagged psychological Just as there's no in-depth psychology in it.
Thank you for informing us. I had no idea about this.
I hope no one takes offense for this but what is with SK law system being so kind to sex offenders? They go on having a nice life after ruining someone else's.
Wow, glad SOMETHING from Xiao Zhan finally airing. I hope it's good but will wait till it's finished and see the reviews, as I don't want to risk following a story that could've been ruined by powerplay.
Acting was perfect. The idea was great. Beautiful even. Aside from the over dramatic bits, the story was mostly enjoyable. The ending though, I don't understand why really good kdramas ruin the last episode with the authors either forcing a political agenda or overestimating their philosophical sense (in this case, the latter).
Why is this tagged thriller? 8 episodes in and almost no progress to the overall story. How can they make even an apocalyptic thriller into a melodramatic slice of life? I find myself only interested in HTS's parts because things tend to somehow speed up when he appears. But there's only so far one character can carry you.
