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...
This was a great show for all the right reasons, cinematography, cool vibe, weird and wonderful characters, excellent plotlines and super work from the main ensemble.
I watch this drama as a "Carnival of Absurdities". The title (Ms. Incognito) is supposed to be absurd…
The idea that a very stiff closed off martial arts specialist could successfully teach kindergarten really bothered me. That is a fault in character construction. Otherwise I loved the show.
The wedding of the weird and wonderful second couple, Hye Ji and Tae Min, gave me more laughter and tears than I would ever have expected. Wonderful. I will come back to see this again.
ep12 Brilliant goodbye scene in the underground study. JYB has held back so long to portray the mask Yeong-Ran maintains to protect herself, that now as she reacts to her benefactor, in his absence, her reveal of emotion is very powerful. This scene really makes better sense of the Chairman, or maybe this episode does.

Looking forward to JYB's next project.
