Yes, such a good news !

Sun finally has a new management agency, managementSEESUN (same as Shin Hae Sun), so I hope they will do a better job at promoting him than YNK Entertainment that totally ruined his debut drama with zero promotion at all, and hopefully we can see him playing various roles in more projects soon.

I'm not the one who wrote the guidelines. And I'm fine with either profile picture actually. I was just pointing out the constant "accommodations' the staff do with the guidelines they are supposed to follow.
Unless it's a child picture, or he turns grey, they are not supposed to change the picture if the actor is still recognisable. Even with a 10 years gap, the change is not that big that you couldn't recognised Lee Jong Suk in the previous profile picture. That's it.

I liked Roh Jeong Eui and Lee Chae Min a lot in this one, but the story development and the characters were not the best. Too cliché at times for me. And there are so much flashbacks that you can remove two whole episodes... I also think Cha Ji Won was kind of useless to the story ( but of course, as a third wheel, they gave him a replacement at the end...) At least Cho Jun Young and Lee Chae Min sure have the potential to play a great couple in a BL !
Considering how cliché it was, I'm surprised (and a little bit disappointed ^^) that Lee Chae Min didn't flashed his (amazing) body in a shower or silly scene.
Oh and it was worth watching for ISA's "Trace of Stars" too !

That's funny. Totally unnecessary profile picture update. Once again, the guidelines are followed by the staff whenever they want on this website.

Well...
The cinematography was great, with beautiful costumes, set-ups and sceneries, but, to be honest, it's a given for any historical production nowadays, so it's not like it was better than the other dramas, at least for me.
I wasn't very impressed by the acting of the main roles neither. On the other hand, Kim Jae Wook was brilliant, as always. My favourite parts were the ones with Grand Prince Han Pyeong.
I don't know the original work, so I can't tell if it's a good adaptation or, not, but that wasn't very good for me.

One more proof that Japanese dot it better, in general. The subject is disturbing, even creepy, but it is interesting to watch this kind of story, with very good actors portraying the characters. That's definitely not for everybody (and especially people who can't watch something objectively), but I'm glad that there are still dramas or movies like this made nowadays, because it's interesting to see problematic behaviours portrayed on screen.

Typical. You can say what's pointless or not, you can say what's offensive or not, and you can say what's relevant or not but others can't, especially if it's different from your opinion. And of course, you "close" the conversation when you want, after starting it.
That's funny, it's always the same pattern with people like that.
Well, we do agree on one thing at least : "people are allowed to comment what they want".
I never wrote that people can't comment after all, just that the ones commenting with politics essays when the news is only about an actress going to live in the country of her husband are stupid and not interesting here for me, which I can because "people are allowed to comment what they want", right ? ^^

You realised the date of creation of your profile is public and it's May 7th ?
As for your justification, why not go talking politics on a cooking website then ? It would be as much interesting as it is here.

Wouah ! I had totally given up on this one. Thank you very much !

It's, by far, the worst adaptation of a manhwa I have seen. I don't even understand how you can screw up such a good story and make a character (Kim Min Jun) so much dislikable compared to the original one. The only good thing I keep from this drama is the revelation of Seong Seung Ha who is a good actor and I'm looking forward to his next projects.

The purpose of MDL is to "discover, discuss, and organise the best asian dramas & movies for your entertainment", it's not a forum to debate over politics of some countries administrations, people can do that elsewhere.

So you created that account just to answer my comment ? Weird.

And no, I don't have my head in the sand, neither I am naive or short-sighted. I just know how to separate things. The purpose of MDL is to "discover, discuss, and organise the best asian dramas & movies for your entertainment", it's not a forum to debate over politics of some countries administrations, people can do that elsewhere. Thus, yes, once again, political considerations on the country don't matter and are really not interesting here and on this subject.

It's "funny' that despite using five different sources you left out the most disgusting part of it (for me) :
“I feel like I was used since middle school. Honestly, I was his girlfriend and he knows how I was to him since middle school, but after the accident, they all made me out to be a weird person. What’s really crazy is that he sent me a photo taken while he was doing ‘it’ with someone else. He said the idol he slept with smells like miyeok (seaweed) so he had her name saved as ‘miyeok’ in his phone and sent me that. If I was in better circumstances, I would’ve revealed everything already,” Kim Sae Ron shares.
Real psycho behaviour if this is true.

The level of stupidity on this website is outstanding, all these comments about politics...

Kevin Oh was born and raised in the USA, all his family lives there, he went to Korea for his music career, which never really break through, even if he had a decent fanbase and nice projects (mostly OSTs), it's just that he has the double nationality so he had to do his military service in Korea, but it's pretty obvious they would live in the USA as they were already living there before announcing their wedding (all Kevin Oh streams were from his family house months before the wedding was announced). That's it.

All your political considerations on the country don't matter and are really not interesting, it just shows how narrow minded people can be here and just want to spread hate whenever they get the chance. And I'm a non-USA man who really dislike their culture in general, so I'm not defending them, but this level of idiocy really baffles me.

Yes, they should rebrand these awards because "Best New Actor" for actors that have already been in several movies or/and dramas before doesn't make much sense, even if it weren't main roles or successful movies/dramas.

Jung Sung Il being nominated and awarded for "Best New Actor" is quite ridiculous. The man has been in the industry for 20 years now ! What are the criteria for being considered a new actor ?
Anyway, very happy for Jeon Do Yeon and "Revolver" and even more for Choo Young Woo (not really a new actor neither for me but still, very happy for him).

I wrote that seven months ago : "That’s definitely not a film for the mass. I’m not surprised it was picked up for festivals, but doesn’t appeal to the general audience, and the majority of the audience here in particular."

And now "Revolver" has a poor rating of 6.8 here but received 9 awards :
- Best Film (Buil Film Awards 2024)
- Best Supporting Actress (Buil Film Awards 2024)
- Best Cinematography (Buil Film Awards 2024)
- Best Actor Award (2024 London East Asia Film Festival)
- Best Actress (Busan Film Critics Awards 2024)
- Grand Prize (Busan Film Critics Awards 2024)
- Best Supporting Actor (Korean Association of Film Critics Awards 2024)
- Best Director (Baeksang Arts Awards 2025)
- Best Actress (Baeksang Arts Awards 2025)

That's why I will write this again : just watch what you are interested in, whatever the reason (an actor, the director, the plot, etc.) and make your own judgement. Don't just follow ratings and comments (good or bad).

And well deserved Best Director and Best Actress awards at the Baeksangs. It confirms that the rating and appreciation the film get here on MDL are definitely biased by the special "demography" of its users (mostly young women or teenage girl interested by mainstream, rom/com movies/dramas), and this kind of movie usually doesn't appeal to this public.
