I started "Perfume" and plan to watch (all korean) : - watcher - class of lies - welcome to life - when the devil calls your name Thanks for the updates Ceki.
I don't really understand the devil's condition in the synopsis. But fun fact : these "pacts" do exist, don't believe they're fiction just because they're on TV. Don't ask how I know this either.
There's a clear distinction between being naive and being childlike (not childish). Childlike people are exactly what you describe in this article. They are grownups with some sort of innocence in them, they're sweet but still have a critical mind. They are optimistic and cheerful, but not unrealistically "positive", they see reality for what it is when it is painful. And have a backbone when it's time to stand up for themselves. Childlike people don't "believe the best in people" they don't know, they simply give everyone the benefit of the doubt. So I think you meant childlike and I love those characters.
But naive people on the other hand, are delusional about how the world works, and although they win in movies and dramas, in real life they end up being destroyed by society, and in the long run extremely suicidal and often times sent in mental institutions. Naive people, understandably want to see the good in life, but often times refuse to see the bad and ugly side of life, they endanger themselves as a result.
Naive people don't exercise common sense because "everything will be alright". They're the kind that will give their job address to someone on a 1st date, that they just talked to on Tinder 3 days before the date. They'll keep in their lives people who have exploited and ruined them, rather than forgive BUT "love from a distance", because healthy boundaries are vital for survival. They will be targeted by people who are looking for someone to use and control (including for marriage, and I'm pro-marriage), ignoring the red flags that their family and friends warn them about. They'll call their gut feeling that their spouse's 1st cousin seems creepy, "paranoia" (see the best in people right ?), then leave their toddler alone with him and his wife for a day (family right ?), instead of talking to their spouse about their concerns, only to find out years later that their child was sexually abused that day by said creepy cousin. Naive people are a danger to themselves, but also to their children if they're parents.
Being naive is normal at 15, understandable at 20, tolerable at 25 but unacceptable by 30.
Looking forward to it, didn't read the synopsis, just looked at the cast and the genre. The synopsis is too long, I feel like there might be a little too many spoilers.
Falling For Innocence....I would say the acting was impressive. The way she was treated though, I don't know. As for my list :
- Cain and Abel : Rivalry between two brothers. Blown away from start to finish. - A Love To Kill : With Rain. Not for the highly sensitive (although I am one), that was when I was new to kdramas and didn't how good koreans were in tragedy. - I'm not a Robot : Can't stress enough how it exceeded my expectations. Not what you think it is. - Witch's Court : The girl kicks a**, get past the first couple of episodes and it gets intense. They focus more on the cases than the romance, which is amazing. - Liar Game : Mind blowing and absolutely unpredictable.
Let's just say, as long as the youngest one is past teenagehood and fully in their 20s, the age gap doesn't matter. But if one is 38 and one is 18 I just can't tolerate this. The youngest is still a "baby" not a full adult.
Finished episode 1 yesterday. Was highly skeptical as the leads are not in my list of favorite actors. But I was very pleasantly surprised. Very rarely do dramas catch my attention from the start. Lee Jong Suk is like Lee Min Ho to me. Not a fan of the actors, but I find them talented and always find myself enjoying most of their dramas.
