Yes. Before time-slip, we had frozen slips! The tech is a verrry clunky but the show is otherwise clever and heartfelt. Won Jin Ah is the goddess of actresses -- paired with JCW, the two make this a real secret treasure. Enjoy.
Ke Chun looks very good here, his first longer show since 20 2minute shows in 2 years. He will star in a proper 45 minute ep show soon. Watch him and see if you think he will make the grade.
My new theory is the verticals at 2mins are good only for a laugh once in a while. On the absolute edge of emotionally abusive porn. But, shades of Aema, partially govt supported???
Altho young actors and actresses desperate for work seem to enjoy themselves while they pay the rent, best not to pollute the mind..
However when an actor/ress can start climbing their way out of that segment of the industry I want to support them, so here is the theory -- watch them in the 12-15 size ep form whenever they get a chance to do a slightly longer show and then lets say nice things.
Such as Bound By Sin, which turns out to be a mini Republican love story. The FL, this time also deserves watching.
Thank goodness they didn't ruin the end and did a sensible ending. I wished there were more scenes of them together…
yeah, the charisma of great lead actors is weird. It is as if the camera itself is automatically drawn to him. As a viewer you watch him first in every scene.
I kind of feel the same way. I started this drama for LYX and I am not saying that she's doing a bad job but something…
I used to feel that way but now (ep29), and after lots of reflection, I am amazed at what she has done. She played a warrior in disguise as a brothel fairy and then slowly, slipping in and out of that mask, a woman falling in love who is also a stoic fighter of noble family, dying of a painful poison. Slowly she dropped that fake voice fairies use and now she uses her own mellow voice. She stopped wearing the fluffy fairy robes and is now totally in serious wuxia-character. That frozen frown that I was afraid was the limit of her range has melted away. And although she has that royal-family-responsible-upbringing, her innate Bo-clan nature shows in her ingenuity and creativity. And she is beginning to love, as JBZ puts it, to choose him on her own.
Looking forward to this. Yim Si Wan can hold his own end up in romance as long as he is paired with a cool intelligent actress like Seol In Ah. Wonder why the article didnt mention her role in oh my ghost client. She was very funny with Cha Hak Yeon.
Humbly I ask, is there anyone out there who understands all the rings? There are so many, and sometimes they seem to be like a faucet, an on/off handle?
Situ is now wearing his Dad's Dark Moon ring, but in ep29, He has an added purple gem on the same finger which seems to control a spell/use of power upon Ming Xin/Prince Chenyun.
Also, does anyone know anything about how SL gets and uses his powers, which seem to follow rules for raw power rather than cultivated power? I havent checked the discussions, will do so now.
I totally respect everyone’s opinion, but I’ll experience the story in my own way — even if that means skipping…
I respect that. I think there is a difference between personal expression -- its fun to say "Situ Ling drives me crazy!" in the middle of a watch, and it is very different to say that the show is written badly because the character sparks a negative reaction. Is that fair?
No problem abt FFD-ing unless a judgement is made about the entire show -- the script the directing, the editiong, the CGI, the production values the skill of the ensemble acting and above all the plot -- based on only looking at about a third of the show, right?

Not designed for the small screen, in effect.
But I am intrigued enough for the rewatches necessary. The fin-de-siecle mood?
I am the actress' total fan now.
