village head mark
it is i, the niel.
the 40-year-old himbo who is 'supposedly' 20, irritated me the entire time. it went beyond himbo to just "too stupid to function". i know that this was based on a webtoon, but the vibes of the webtoon didn't translate on-screen properly and it made the show quite a bummer to get through. one thing that genuinely confounds me is the attraction between the couple. where is it? the normal one doesn't seem to ever like the himbo, and the himbo himself doesn't seem aware of the world enough to have real human emotions. he's almost like a dog, like a puppy, but not cute.
that being said: village head mark. shout-out to the actor who played mark. he was the most entertaining aspect of this show. i started off having one-sided beef with the fellow but ended up falling in love with him and searching up his past voice acting roles on youtube. him speaking korean was really funny. it was almost incomprehensible, and yet i understood everything if i just had the mindset of an italian. whenever village head mark opened his mouth, it brought me so much joy that i started crying tears of laughter and had to pause the show for about an hour to calm myself down. he speaks to me in the way that borat speaks to other people as far as comedy goes. it's the same comedic energy of "silly man with goofy accent, haha funny".
would i recommend this? i honestly don't know why the ratings are so high on this show. it's not deeply offensive to my sensibilities, but it isn't good. i was bored. i'm really, really sorry. i think if you can find a compilation of village head mark scenes on youtube, that's all you need. also check out him voice acting train engines for a korean children's show.
on a positive note, it was refreshing to see the korean countryside in terms of scenery. the rural side of korea is oftentimes not shown in many bls, so it kind of alluded to typical kdramas in that sense.
aish, this boy!!!
