I had very low expectations and the first 2 eps were so much better than I expected that I had a really good time! Still feeling trepidation about the body swap. Not sure if both actors will have what it takes to do it really well. Different perspectives, I guess, gives a different valuation.
I can't understand why the FL is so angry with the ML. I just don't get what's going on so I put it on hold after…
Yes, the FL's anger seems over-the-top to me, very bitter, constantly on the attack. And the ML is so unrelentingly patient with her despite that, I watched ep4 and the explanations are finally coming but not all of the confusion has been cleared up yet.
This was a great show. Cool, surreal, beautiful. It got good ratings at home in Korea. We may start to see bifurcation in productions for home audiences vs. overseas.
Personally, whenever K-dramas send their characters abroad or bring in foreign elements, the main plot tends to…
I see what you mean, setting the scene anew, endless translation problems etc. But I am liking it. This Bangkok episode is much better and more culturally sensitive (its in the 90's!) than other kdrama efforts. The ancient photoshop owner was a little schmaltzy, tho.
The story feels warm, even with its repetitive “almost success”, something goes wrong moments, it’s still…
It is kind of cute to see Junho lean in like that, so naturally...she is right, of course, its not exactly the moment, but that sincere confidence in affection is practically saintly. Blithe and beautiful.
The FL is just like that, a diligent girl, a 'good' girl who will give her heart at the right time, but not before. I think that the actress' face is not run-of-the-mill and her expressions are not as broad as one might be used to. But the actress is precisely expressive in small moments so that you can look closely and see that she is moved by/attracted to him. But she is, in private. Not on a Bangkok street
I nearly fell off the couch when she told him to go use his charms to get a deal -- "tell her that she is pretty! write a wish coupon on her palm"!!! And it was even funnier that Junho's feelings were hurt by being told to use his masculine wiles on command!
ep9. Great drama tension. I am sure they will get Ma-Jin out of jail next week. But what does Mr. Pyo Maritime want from Typhoon Trading? That is the real mystery.
ep3 was a little easier for me to enjoy. Better scenes -- liked the abandoned school a lot, hallways, club room, rooftop. The house is starting to be more interesting, but as a scene in memories.
The musical background has been not really informative. It was light and funny during the times in the first 2 eps where I felt the most confused. Not knowing how to feel is a big nono for me.
The FL is not a sympathetic character and without knowing why she is SO angry it is hard to like her. The ML is patient and loving with her but it is as if we are asked to take his word for it that she does have a sweeter side.
This is how I understood it... JW who just came back is the legitimate FIRSTBORN of the deceased King (not the…
Wow. Thanks to both of you for writing all that out. I didnt want to have to go back and rewatch ep1, am waiting for next week too for more unpacking of the relationships.
Wow, Kang Tae Oh as crown Prince is magnificent. He wears the blue robe so strikingly beautiful. He is well-suited…
Agree, Both KTO and KSJ seem very much improved since Potato Lab and Brewing Love. Maybe they both needed more dramatic roles to flex their skills in. Or a framework in which she can be comical and he doesnt have to be. His reactions are too slow for comedy, not sure why...
