this is exciting - admittedly not my favorite writer BUT- i would LOVE to see Park So Dam do another drama...she's just brilliant. Fingers crossed she accepts the offer or if not this one another one and soon!
the promo shots for this drama were really cool and different and I'm really into the poster for the drama, but its gonna be so hard to follow up Extraordinary You. Still I'm crossing my fingers this drama is interesting and not like every other drama with a similar synopsis. I'm starting it for Kim Seul Gi, I hope I continue watching it for the plot...
i'm loving this so so much so far. History2 Crossing the Line has always firmly been my favorite of the history stories, but MODC is seriously giving it a run for its money on my list. im not a big fan of the second couple, it seems a little forced, but that being said i am a big fan of Hao Ting and Sun bo's friendship. And every second Hao Ting and Yu Xi Gu spend on screen together is beautiful, the chemistry is insane between the pair of them, just...wow
seol ah & joon hwi are the reason I will be watching all 100 episodes - we're a quarter of the way through and he may finally be starting to like her back!?!?!?
I've only ever seen him in Dramaworld and Dramaworld was the first kdrama I ever watched. I remember when I got into kdramas a little more I went to look up to see what else he had been in because of he'd done a good performance and was also very pretty and I was so shocked to find he'd been in barely anything. So glad hes finally getting some recognition.
It really stands out to me when female leads have great characterization, because I find a lot of the time they annoyingly come across as one thing and I love nothing more than a well rounded female character. In terms of an older drama that includes brilliant characterization I would say My Lovely Sam Soon is the best example I've seen. This isn't a perfect drama and not all the characters in that drama are well developed, but its the best characterization I've possibly ever seen for a female lead. Then for a more recent drama I would say that Extraordinary You, which is currently airing, has started off with brilliant characterizations for all its characters, even the ones who are supposed to be a walking taking cliche, the writers and actors have somehow added another layer to all of them, but most importantly you see this with Dan Oh, the female lead, as you start the show you see her 'find' her real personality and the first couple of episodes are mainly her alone and if it wasn't for her really brilliant characterization I never would've been so hooked.
This drama has flown up through the ratings on mydramalist and I love that! Especially with how dubious the majority of people seemed when the trailer dropped. I personally think this drama is as good as its rating (at the moment), it somehow keeps getting better and better. To me its a complete work of art the directing is beautiful, the cast is brilliant and the story....just WOW...I have so many questions, yet its perfect. I cant praise this drama enough and I'm an adult, who really isn't a fan of high school dramas, but this one is just magic. I'm so in love with it.
This is one of the best and most refreshing kdrama's I've seen in a while. I always know where kdramas are going to end up and usually how they're going to get there, that's something I tend to like about them, but with Extraordinary You I have no idea what twist the show will be taking every five minutes let alone for the rest of the series. I have so many questions and am having to stop myself from searching for the manhwa. I'm so glad slowly more and more international fans are picking it up and showing it love after hearing its not doing so well in South Korea. I'm so in love with this drama.
Anyone know if there's going to be a part 3 for season 3 of the HIStory series? After this one?
They tend to do each part yearly, so the first 3 HIStory mini series were released throughout 2017 and both of the HIStory2 series were released throughout 2018. The next HIStory project they are hoping to release after MODC is the HIStory2 Crossing the Line movie, which (if it gets the funding) is expected to be released in 2020, so there are no plans for a part 3 of HIStory3, but I'm hoping they will get the funding for HIStory4 in 2020.
so the first episode left me feeling conflicted - i was really really enjoying it up until that final scene. the pair of them have amazing chemistry and Types bullying really got to me, but i loved all the ways Tharn got back at him and the way he stood up for himself was really well said and i loved it, but then that end scene just made me personally feel so uncomfortable (its similar to the reason i couldn't watch Make it Right, but make it right was a whole lot of steps further) - i am going to stick with this drama because of how much i enjoyed everything up until that point, it was such a promising sttart, but i'm continuing a little more wary.
It's kind of similar to Dramaworld except it's a comic rather than a Kdrama. Like Dramaworld it makes fun of all the cliches and tropes that we hate and love in our comics/kdramas.This is honestly amazing though. The budget is clearly high and so it looks straight up beautiful. The female lead is so likeable and brilliant. I'm a person who's really a fan of romance in Kdramas and if they don't hit you in the face with it in the first episode I tend to lose interest, but this drama would keep me hooked even without it, (but I'm also so glad it is going to have it...eventually) This and The Tale of Nokdu are so good, I just hope they keep up with their current standard it's so high. 4 episodes a week is not enough!!!
This is the first drama I'm watching live! I always wait to binge all the episodes but I couldn't wait with this one, the synopsis and promotion were all too good for me not to start watching as soon as possible. And even though this drama has been one of my recently most anticipated, the first 4 episodes are even better than I had imagined. My expectations were exceeded when they were already so high. I've had to pause it so many times from laughing way too hard and the chemistry between the 2 leads is already so evident. I can't wait for more!
Kim So Hyun was also in the short drama 'Ma Boy' where the male lead again disguised himself as a girl. I love that shes done two of these genderbend dramas, but they're both the opposite to what we are used to!
