I don't get people. They complain about the number of episodes, they complain about the actress playing the queen, they complain about the plot, they complain about the trailer, they complain about the actor playing the king, etc. Come on ! If you don't like the plot, the actors, don't watch and go your way. Of course everybody is free to express an opinion, but at least be constructive. What's the point to complain about something that is set, and thus won't change ( you don't like it ? move on), or complain about something that hasn't happened yet so you don't know anything (wait and see if you like it or not, it's good or not, then complaint or compliment). I am super excited for this drama (I have been for months), as a sageuk, as an epic sageuk, as a sageuk that takes place during Goguryeo period, as a drama with Chang Wook, as the first sageuk of Chang Wook since "Empress Ki", as a sageuk with a great cast, as a sageuk with a unique plot never seen before. But no, here people are ruining the mood with endless complaints about meaningless things. So annoying.
So JI chang wook is playing dead guy ? what is point of watching it when Ji Chang Wook die at start
Well, they are all playing "dead guy" as it is a drama based on events and people who lived 1800 years ago... I don't understand the complaint honestly. It's not because a character dies early in the story that the character cannot be interesting and important to the story. It's better to watch and judge after to see if it was interesting, or not. And if you're a fan of Chang Wook, you should be happy to see him acting and deliver his performance through a new character.
Well, a miserable little human being that feels the need to be mean to others for no reason. Definitely useful and even essential, we need more of that in our lives... Honestly I pity you if you have nothing else to do in your life like that. But I still wish you the best.
The trailer was dominated by JCW and he looks mind blowing! It’s amazing how he is able to look like a different…
I don't think it's right to assume he will only appear at the beginning of the show. He is presented from the start as one of the main actors of the cast, thus is character will have much more importance and appearance than just the beginning I guess, probably through throwbacks, as Koreans love to do that. But we will see in a month what exactly it is. And it makes sense to see him this much in the trailer, because it's his character death that is the starting point of the story told in these 8 episodes. It will be a short, compact and full of action story. A race for the throne.
I love Jun Young so it's good news if he confirms it. But to be honest, although he is definitely fit, he is more the skinny/lean type, so he will have to put on some weight and muscles to portray a fitness trainer (not complaining at all of course). ^^
Just watched the 8 episodes that aired so far and I'm still not sure if I find this season interesting or not. The format of this show keeps bothering me, because you really can't expect anything serious with such a short format, and everything is too much exaggerated. The focus on the drama between Yeong Jun and Myeong Gyun in the last episode for example. Yeong Jun is definitely a type of person I dislike because he is very "loud" to express himself, but seems to assume to always be right, and that everyone else thinks like him. He lacks empathy to try to understand others for me. As for Myeong Gyun, as many Koreans, he lacks the ability to say things straightforwardly so that others will understand him better, so of course people can misjudged what he says or thinks our doubt his sincerity even if he really is. In the end, they just don't seem good for each others and didn't ended their relationship well because it was never properly ended, even if they weren't a couple yet. One assumed that the other understood and it wasn't important, the other didn't expressed himself properly and kept thinking about it and seems hurt about all that. So nobody is a bad guy, they are just two imperfect people who are not suited for each others. Next episode will probably, and hopefully, clear things so we don't dwell on it until the end.
I like him and find him interesting, even the most interesting one amongst all the participants of "His Man Season 3", but I think he lacks confidence or don't know how to say things straightforwardly (which is a common thing in Korea actually), and thus can make others agressive (like episode 8 showed) or confused about him, which is a little bit sad. He seems the type of people you need to know well to not misjudge what he says or thinks.
They did it again. Japanese are the only ones that can make such sad yet good stories. It's really liberating to watch this. It's like feeling a weight on our soul being lifted. I love it. And this one confirms that Ren is definitely one of my favourite actors. Whatever the character he plays-, he is amazing, but he is especially good portraying this kind of characters, full of complexed emotions.
I'm very happy for him (his man is quite lucky ^^) , and for his couple with Tul, they look good together and they really seem like a good match. The way they revealed and confirmed the suspicions around them was also very cool. They deserve the best, and I hope they will be happy together for the longest time. Now I can't wait even more to see Mew in all his projects.
I just saw Atsuki perform in London Coliseum Theatre as Haku in the "Spirited Away" play ! I was so happy to be lucky to see him perform (they are three different actors playing the same role, and I didn't know which one would it be that day). It was amazing to hear his voice and see him play live after watching him on a screen. He was incredible, and as a big fan of "Spirited Away" and especially Aku's character, I wasn't disappointed. A great performance and, overall, such a stunning and wonderful show.
Can't wait to watch this movie. He seems to play, once again, such an interesting character. I'm sure it is an amazing performance. I hope it will be in cinemas here in France too.
Yes I know, but when I wrote my comment the date wasn't announced yet. And even though, it won't be available before few weeks or months for international fans.
He is been robbed so many times already. Why is it so? Does he have not so much popularity in Korea ?
I really don't know... He is popular in Korea too, there isn't a single person who don't know him and I have never met someone disliking him neither, so I don't know why he doesn't receive more recognition from awards organisations.
