unpopular opinion but I find this much better than the original. the Japanese couple has like no chemistry at all, not that Joy and Lee Hyun Woo have much chemistry either but I feel like I can at least see how they fell for each other, whereas in the movie it is an absolute mystery to me. Generally I think my biggest problem actually is that I find Lee Hyun Woo really unfitting for the role. He's supposed to be much older than the female lead but he doesn't look like it, if he was at least much taller than Joy then maybe that could've helped it - but well. Lee Hyun Woo is a really good actor, I love him, but arrogant roles are not really his niche, I'd say. and while of course Joy's acting leaves a lot of room for improvement, her acting suits the role of the lively and innocent singer that kind of has to find her confidence first. I think the plot is fine, not the best, but much more interesting and reasonable than the movie, because we can actually see the characters and relationships develop. it was still fun to watch, though it is very unlikely that I concern myself with this drama again. I'll only listen to the OST because the music is actually amazing.
wow I really don't understand the rating. this is so fresh, has little of the popular clichés, the acting ist good and the relationships develop very naturally.
honestly what is up with Hae Rang, I'm 58 eps in and I don't understand how and why she feels so entitled to everything. she has an affair with a married man - the wife's fault for not loving him she bullies her friend into depression and out of school - well, she probs living a better life now her brother nurses her into health and is furthermore concerned about her life - only because they are not blood related It felt so fucking good when Tae Rang slapped her face, I replayed it three times. I am really waiting for karma to bitch slap her again.
what still really bothers me is that Chung Ah's father ignored her for 9 years because she wanted to commit suicide, but right after learning her reasons and struggles suddenly he is nice again .... so all those 9 years he didn't bother for her reason. just because she didn't tell him, doesn't mean there was none. as if people commit suicide out of boredom!?! her father and Seul Ah never really apologized for their hurtful words and actions. honestly, how could you threat a depressed person like that? as if it wouldn't just add on the insecurities and anxiety. since South Korea's suicide rate is so high, I would expect them to issue it differently, but since I know that mental health is not really widely cared for (at least media wise), I shouldn't be surprised, but I rather not have them use suicide merely as a trope.
can we chose a picture for him that looks less abusive-boyfriend-like? that's the reason he gets typecasted. I think I saw him play an abusive ex/stalker about 3 times already.
I love Park Hae Jin, and though all his love interest were very pretty, I didn't find them to suit him visually, but I really think him and Jo Bo Ah make a cute couple. I know this sounds really superficial, still, the whole first ep I was just so happy that they looked so nice together. I can't help myself.
it's cute but it get's also really draggy towards middle to end because their relationship doesn't really progress anymore. it's cute fluff but half the eps would've been enough in my opinion
It's pretty frustrating waiting for subs. I know that subs are hard work and I do appreciate all of the translators, it's just that I've been spoiled with having every ep subbed in a few hours, maybe in a day.
It's just my guess, but what he wants is power. North Korea is very corrupted so he can do anything if he just…
Yeah, that as my guess originally, too, but the haven't really touched on his motivation much and I find it a litte confusing, because his emotions seem too conflicted and deep sometime for what he ones to achieve. I do hope there is more, because so far that's the only issue I have with this drama.
