*clear the way for jcw*Thanks for making me laugh so hard . Ig It'll be great enough for JCW if that doesn't end…
Well, honestly I don't expect much of 편의점 샛별이. The plot is very simple, just a light romance, and I doubt it will have much action and turnovers (Ji Chang Wook is great in everything of course, but he has an incredible charisma when playing action for me). I'll just enjoy the simple story and good acting (I hope so at least !). See you in the comments section there ! :)
Finally ! This mess is over (and the final episode was one big mess too) ! ㅋㅋㅋ Clear the place for Ji Chang Wook ! ^^ More seriously, people need to stop making excuses about dramas/films because they are a fan of an actor staring in it. Despite how much I love an actor and his characters, I can be objective and tell the flaws of a story/production/acting. Nothing and nobody is always perfect. Of course, you can still love a drama/film even with flaws, but the rave comments are ridiculous. Woo Do Hwan and Kim Kyung Nam, and a few secondary actors, made this enjoyable for me though.
It's definitely the most messy drama I have ever watched ! And one of the worst romance. It almost becomes funny at this point how bad it is. I must really like Woo Do Hwan to watch it until the end...
It's a little bit unfortunate that we had to wait for episode 12 so that the story became really interesting. But well, I guess it was worth the wait, just for Woo Do Hwan's pec. ^^
Well... this is a mess. So far, 10 episodes. Few points : - the 2 worlds story and uncle betrayal and way to survive between the two is good and had so much more potential - the romance ? Ew ! It should have been forgotten, the drama would have been much better - Lee Min Ho ? First time watching a drama with him and, sorry for him but, he isn't a good actor in this character - Thanks God Woo Do Hwan is here ! Actually the main and almost only reason I'll keep watching to the end - Kim Kyung Nam is a nice revelation and his character is probably the most interesting one
Well, episode 6 is quite disappointing on the present characters development. Ji Soo is still way too much submissive. So to me it doesn't even feel relatable. The ex-husband's blackmail and Ji Soo's answers are totally out of logic. And Jae Hyun who seemed like planning some kind of revenge with a great mind now looks like he can't control anything and just take punches. Oh and way too much flash-backs. Hope it will improve in the next episodes.
Finally the story is getting more en more interesting as the plot suggested it. There is a few things that are illogical and could have been fix so it's a little bit disappointing though (when they meet a doppelgänger it's ridiculous that they don't see the difference, especially because the characters are purposely made very different...). Episode after episode one thing is sure : the drama is good thanks to the cast, except the main couple when they are together. Woo Do Hwan, as always, and Kim Kyung Nam are perfect. It is my first time watching a drama with Lee Min Ho and I really can't get a good felling about his acting. At first I thought it was because I didn't felt any chemistry between him and Kim Go Eun but, actually, even in other scenes it just feels off to me the way he acts. Maybe because I expected something more from the character of the king.
If anybody knows where I can watch at least the first episode of this, no sub needed, I would be very grateful because after a long (very long ! ^^) time searching it I couldn't find it anywhere.
Ji Chang Wook never disappoints (yes, even in Melting Me Softly, the drama was not that good overall, but not bad either and he did great). I'm sure it will be nice, and the funny side will be interesting.
The ratings and some comments are too much. I didn't find a good chemistry between the leads and didn't really like the way it ended, the filming was a bit low quality some times too, but still, it was a good drama. Acting was good for all principals characters, sides stories were well developed, there was points of reflection about Korean society or way to live that you don't see often in dramas, great balance between serious and funny scenes, a great progression of the main story and some originality in a good way. When I see some cheesy, illogical, far-fetched romance wrapped in fantasy with high rankings (will not give name...), compared to this drama, I just think I don't have the average taste, and I'm good with that. ^^
I really like this drama, but there is one bad point to me. Too much clichés about humiliation. Ji Soo character is too pitiful. I hope it will change in the next episodes.
Pas si nul que ça, mais bon... I don't like too this writer, and Goblin is my favorite boring nightmare drama.…
Favorite boring nightmare drama ? Haha, is that a thing ? ^^ Well, to be fair, if you remove the romance that really make me cringe here and some caricatural characters, it's kind of interesting and living up to the potential of the plot. But it's true that's the acting is too blunt, too much, especially with the king.
See you in the comments section there ! :)
Clear the place for Ji Chang Wook ! ^^
