OCN has gone places that no other dramas have gone before. Having writers that can take this idea and form it…
Exactly my thoughts. Though I would be interested to see how they initiate the coup if applied to S. Korea. I am always fascinated by the psychological aspect of why people choose certain extremism, especially of the religious variety.
This has definitely been one of my favorite articles in the last few months.
Personally, I really enjoy The Handmaid's Tale, both the book and the Hulu portrayal. While the show is not everyone's cup of tea, it really portrays what could happen if things become too extreme. Politics, religion, and abortion are very controversial in the current social climate. I like that the show doesn't try to candy coat and while it may seem hopeless to some, I see a lot of strength in the characters (I'm on season 3). Honestly, I hope it scares some people into reality. Complacency won't make things go away.
Therefore, I really love your choice for June, Ye Ji perfectly portrayed her role in Save Me which is similar to what would happen in Handmaid's. When religion is taken too far and people just follow blindly. The other choices for your casting are also interesting! I could see OCN picking this one up. I mean, if you can produce Voice, I'm sure this one would fit right in. OCN isn't one to be all roses and sunshine !
I must say, the acting make the pairing for me. In the original one, I was a Luo Xi fan, with Huang Xiao Ming having more chemistry with Barbie. However, in the remake, I like Qin Jun Kie as Ou Chen and Sophie Zhang as the main pair as I find Huang Sheng Qi's a bit off, not very mysterious or smug.

Thanks for writing this article!
The main girl and the two guys have all acted together before!
Like when something is super heartbreaking or they are really upset about something,
cue the blood coughing.
In a way, it's like saying, your words or actions have hurt me so much that I'm spitting blood.
I guess no more ban now?
