Or rather too real. I don't know if you've ever encountered such a thing but trust me it's never easy for some…
Too real ? Well, that's sound very weird to me. It's not how the ending is, I don't care if it's an happy or sad one for the characters, as long as the story is good. But for me, here, many things feel forced and not happening naturally in the flow of the story. Different point of view.
I like it, there are a lot of good points to the drama or the characters, but an episode like this one (or the next one as it seems from the preview), makes me feel that they create hardships just for the sake of the scenario. It doesn't seems very natural sometimes, too forced just to make them reunited at the end.
It's actually a comedy, so I don't think this will please me in the end, but we never know. And I can't miss Kim Young Kwang in an historical costume (from the trailer his character looks like a supportive one, not really a cameo).
Seriously, who accepted that ? Not even capable to put the right title in English... And the main cast isn't complete. That's really annoying to spend time to give proper and quality information for movies/TV series to be added here, just to see that another submission so poorly done is accepted instead, just because it arrived a little earlier in the queue.
Anyway, excited for the second instalment of the Fengshen Trilogy.
I wasn't very impressed by "The Priests", so I don't expect much from this movie, but I will still curious to watch it.
However, based on the plot and trailer, what they do with the exorcism ritual is total gibberish in this movie. Thats nothing realistic.
Exorcism is normally only performed by bishops, because they are ordained with the full powers of the sacrament of holy orders and they are successors of the Apostles. And they may bestow the powers for exorcism to some priests for the solemn ritual. Thus, nuns, ordinary people or even priests who didn't received the powers to exorcism from a bishop, cannot successfully performed an exorcism.
Ji Chang Wook winner in Best Supporting Actor category for revolver at the 11th Korean Film Producers Association…
Very well deserved. I really liked how he portrayed that unpleasant character. His Andy performance is brilliant, so I'm really happy Chang Wook is receiving an award for it.
It's so weird he got nominated for wts but not for twoe in any awards show in 2023.
The APANs are actually for dramas that aired from November 2023 to October 2024, so it's normal that he isn't nominated for "The Worst of Evil" here. But in the same time it's a scandal that he didn't received any nomination for his role as Park Joon Mo. And if he don't get the Male Top Excellence Award for this one (especially if it goes to the likes of Kim Soo Hyun or Byeon Woo Seok), it will be another scandal.
I wasn't convinced by the first episode, but I'm glad it's the kind of drama that grows on you slowly. It's becoming better and better with each episode. I'm really looking forward to the next episodes now.
Well, unfortunately, it is typically the type of sageuk they mostly do nowadays that I dislike.
It goes from being overly "funny", the characters or the situations (I am usually not amused by what they think is funny though...), to overly dramatical, and it's a constant rollercoaster of different tones and registers, which I find really confusing and totally dislike. The characters are interesting, but they also make them too stereotypical and the situations too clichéd (especially for the supportive cast). However, the overall production quality is very good (sets, costumes), just like all sageuk these days. The filming and editing too. And I'm definitely not disappointed by Choo Young Woo performance so far (he is dazzling in these beautiful costumes !). But I wish it was a more "serious" sageuk.
It's not a bad one, just not what I expected it to be so it's a little bit disappointing.
I really wonder if 19 scenes is necessary to tell the story as I have a feeling tv version gonna be enough to…
"Queen Woo" is a failure because of the bad screenwriter that messed up the story and characters. The sex scenes don't change anything I think. These scenes represent barely nothing if you add them up compared to the whole drama. I think it tells more about the people focusing on it than the story itself.
I just hope it will be better than "Queen Woo", because the screenwriter ruined a potentially amazing story and great cast. Considering this one is a story told many times already, I hope the new perspective from Queen Won Kyung's point of view will be done cleverly and not just as a "modern feminist" type of drama, which would be totally stupid for a sageuk.
"Programs that receive this rating will almost certainly have adult themes, sexual situations, strong language and disturbing scenes of violence." From the Korea Media Rating Board.
I just love this show already, because we'll see so many people crying because it's a 19+ rating show. Like there…
I don't really think it will have the same impact as "Queen Woo", because the cast doesn't have the same aura and popularity as the one for "Queen Woo". So I guess this one will attract less attention and critics, and less attacks from the crazy "virtue police".
Considering the high expectations I had for "Queen Woo", the high deception I had after watching it, and having the same expectations for this one, I'm more than concerned now... But it's a different screenwriter, so hopefully it will deliver.
