Great show -- I did stop watching about 2 eps in and I am ashamed of it; when I came back I binged intently. Things are so grim from the viewpoint of slaves, and I missed the merry Seo In/Seung Hwi. As soon as he showed up romedy began again. Im Ji Yeon was powerful and beautiful but her character lived in such fear. I did love the show, with all its disguises and fictions.
Still hoping for more, but it looks like you guys are right, time's up -- its a crass netflix attempt to get the juicy community numbers, the straight BL romance fan numbers and anyone else they can. The proof is in the screentime given to Heesu finally stumbling his way towards his first real boyfriend. Heck, you can do anything you want to the original written source but the main lead lovers' time on screen is cut short, over and over. Who cares about tennis or music, bring on the astronomy!
That’s definitely not a film for the mass. I’m not surprised it was picked up for festivals, but doesn’t…
I like the people who comment here. They are fun. It is true however that many of us seem to have the same yardstick(s) for films and for dramas, ignoring length and codes and traditions. But who cares, everyone has their bias, whether it's kisses or music or camerawork or tradition. For ex. I adored the monk who claps his hands in front of the temple when Mommy Dearest appears.
I've watched 10 episodes so far and I'm not really a fan of Lee Ji Hoon's acting in this one. He's so subdued…
He emits a deep sadness. I think that eps 11 and 12 will feel explosive because he has sustained that emotional tension for so long, or else they will be wistful and really sad. Either way I am happily waiting.
ep30. Lovely wrapup. Lovely comeuppance. True words and false words. Zhuang Shi Yang had the most amazing capacity to seem plausible even when lying through his teeth, didnt he! The family gathering including those passed on -- isnt that what happens during the holidays in the imagination? This last family grouping seems to me to be more according to height and costume coloring. The only notable placement to me is little Ling Zhi dressed in orange with Zhou Ru Yin and Yu Shuan, and, on the other side, Yu Chi stands next to Yun Xi. Forgiveness indeed. Not sure I could have done that myself.
