this doesn't even compare to the original. it is so flat in many aspects, I won't judge the production value, but the acting is so bad, and the editing.
its interesting how some people are saying that the difference in culture results in a difference in acting? I don't think culture has anything to do with a simple stiff non-expressive "acting". sure, some subtle gestures can vary here and there but the inability to deliver an emotion that is clearly meant to be delivered is just bad acting.
anyway, I think if you watch it with no expectations and have no knowledge of the original you won't see it as bad as I did, but this an official remake so it will inevitably be compared to the original.
dang, kim won suk no wonder I FELL IN LOVE with my mister turns out it was the the same director as Signal my holy gem. the two dramas are not even close to be compared genre wise, but there are so many similarities visually and quality wise it only made sense they both had a common director!
the vibe, the mood is just so.... indescribable and I relate to it so much! if I were asked: what is your mood as a soul? I would say: please refer to My Ahjussi scenes where dong hoon walks in the dimly lit streets/commutes to and from work contemplating life silently. ambience and some kind of mysticism is the closest thing I could use to put it in words. just a random comment of appreciation to the drama's atmosphere ^^
I'm relieved that I wasn't crazy thinking that kwang il liked ji ahn but in a twisted way, they uncovered glimpses of some side characters in ep 12 and wow, this drama couldn't get any deeper.. definitely one of the most complex character structuring I've ever come across
this drama makes me feel like most of the other dramas I've ever watched are so shallow and one dimensional. anyone who thinks that the relationship between LJA and PDH is a romantic one needs to reevaluate their understanding of HUMANS.
never thought a movie about grades and cheating would be so dramatic (in a good way) this is the second Thai movie I've ever seen and I can only say.. wow.. blew me away
when ji-an finally smiled at the end of episode 7 I burst into tears! it felt so natural and beautiful, everything about this show is just perfectly natural and raw and feels unbelievably real. IU really proved herself here, she is so into her character that her normally smiley bright face feels so foreign to me now because I got used to ji-an's expressions, and that subtle smile we finally got from her just melted my soul
love love love this drama! its depressing in a not too heavy way, its really difficult to describe but when a show is depressing and sad it should usually make you feel depressed but there is something uplifting about this drama despite the dark atmosphere. its a dark show but not the gritty-dark kind if that makes sense.
I also really really appreciate the camera work and directing in this as it is simply phenomenal, the show would have lacked a lot if it wasn't executed properly by the directors. over all this is definitely one of tvn's masterpieces and honestly, im not surprised, tvn *applauds*
did I miss anything? Ive seen all the episodes that are out till now yet I don't think they ever showed anything about their son.. did he die? is he ill? we see pictures of him everywhere and in the latest episode (ep 6) they show a glimpse of him as a baby in a flash back... I feel like he has a lot to do with dong hoon and yoon hee's dead relationship and dong hoon's depression
