i keep hearing the Ji Chang Wook and Push look a like and i just DO NOT see it. Although i do think JCW and Kim…
I think JCW and Push are similar types, not that they look like twins, but very similar: shape of face, proportions, skin color, height and body type....
oc JCW is better looking and more talented.XD
Love ur article... very nice... #1,4 and 5 could be twins!
I too thought it was Jang Na Ra when I first watched CDYY!
However, I disagree about So Ji Sub and Yoo Seung Ho... The only thing similar is that they both have very long eyes .... and even then, their eyes are different, YSH's are more brilliant.
BUT, strangely enough, I just saw a photo of YSH, and it looks like he sucked the fat from atop his eyes... the skin looks loose... and it reminded me of SJS's eyes recently... He too has loose skin above his eyes.... I think they may have had plastic surgery...
Too Bad, b/c the eyes of both were beautiful just the way they were, w/ the mono-fold on top:(
The Good: -- The romance b/w Techin and Pan is great! ... good development, believable love and palpable chemistry.... Well worth watching!!! -- Mik impressed me w/ his acting.... Truly believable showing love, hate, pain, longing, anger, etc... -- Techin is wonderful character, haven't seen a man so deeply passionately in love in quite a while ! -- Steph is beautiful and sexy... her character, Pan, is fun and smart.
The Bad: Everything else! -- The story had a lot of potential...all set for love/hate and angst ... but the writers ruined it! -- I think the writers must have been drunk, because they forgot what they wrote a few pages earlier.... not continuous, too many things in the crime plot did not make sense. -- Repetitive towards the end ... last 5 eps. were a torture to finish.... Number of episodes should have been cut down from 16 to 10.
The Ugly: -- Way toooooo Much STUPIDITY! ... the characters did the most unreasonable things... If someone just tried to kill you 10 times already, why would u still go to the secluded part all alone?? why? And why would you say "they won't dare hurt me!" when they just tried killing you minutes ago!!!!" .... definitely drunk writer! -- Way toooooo many kidnappings, murder attempts, etc.... which were just an unnecessary plot device .. because writer couldn't think of anything but crime to move the plot ... Ugghh!
Despite all that, I still recommend it for the wonderful couple and their romance... well worth it. ... I look forward to Mik's next lakorn!... I hope it is w/ Steph!
EDIT: Just found out this was extended by several episodes due to popularity... never a good idea ... also, wish they kept same screenwriter as Part 1, story was told much better... still, couples for both parts have wonderful chemistry and romance ... Both loves r addicting.
Another great analysis of Wang So and Hae Soo's premonitions on dramabeans. Gosh, these are so good!! 100…
Real interesting...So astronomer messed up time line somehow and he got this girl to go back and take over HaeSoo's body in order to fix things...Hmmmm!?
and..You are right....Mother's hatred of So is extreme, I wonder if there is a reason, like you said .... Not just that his scar reminds her of her own weakness!
I will object to one thing... I don't think the mother loves her sons... any of them.... She only uses them to get what she wants!
She had previously let it slip in front of Yo, that she wants to become a King's mother... It was all about her reaching power, not her sons, who is just a tool!...
That is why, now that Yo has the power, he's pushing her away from the action.
She dotes on Jung as just another one of her properties.
Just wanted to share this comment from dramabeans, the theory about Soo's time-travelling back to Goryeo…
I really like this analysis.... I was just wondering what happened to that ruthless Wang So who mercilessly slaughtered the assassin-monks ... Yes! he changed!...HaeSoo and love have indeed changed him!
This was highly recommended, but I didn't like it much. - The characters are not well-developed, so I didn't really connect w/ them or care what happens to them. - their actions were unreasonable, for the most part, and no motivation given... o.O - The female character is the type I strongly dislike: naive, dumb, clumsy, slob, obnoxiously feisty plain-Jane, ...Yet she is stubborn and foolishly optimistic... He supposedly fell in love w/ her for the above reasons :P - Her friend, who is supposed to be insightful about love, is dumb, loud and says the stupidest things at the wrong time and place :P
- Sena needs more depth, but he is the best thing in the drama.
- Takenouchi Yutaka as Shinji is good, but his character could have been so interesting if treated w/ a little depth. and why would Shinji fall for a boring girl when he has a wonderful adventurous beauty by his side? ..... His girlfriend is the best female in the show, a very cool girl.
Very, very good....
Some cliches, but done very well, w/ realistic emotions and motivations!
i.e.: Haru is a typical tragic hero w/ a painful past who only needs love to melt his cold exterior...Cliche!....
BUT, Haru is also surprisingly honest about his insecurities ... very refreshing!.... which makes me connect w/ him and makes him more 3-dimensional and real, not cliche!
Scenes and script allow for emotions to run deep...... Very good chemistry ..... Wonderful friendships ..... lovable and real well-developed characters ....
Contrary to some comments below, I found the female character likable and reasonable, w/ logical motivation behind her actions.
Rare for a J-dorama to appeal so much to the heart... This show entices many feels ... mainly because I could feel and believe Haru's love and growing attachment to her!
Thank you for the article.... Female characters in Asian dramas can be frustrating.
The worst female characters to me fit this stereotype:
Dumb , Clumsy , Sloppy Plain-Jane ....
who somehow becomes attractive in the hero's eyes because she's also:
Stubborn , Diligent , obnoxiously feisty and foolishly Optimistic!
Ughhhh!!!! ...
Another analysis by @Pebble: 101 Pebble October 5th, 2016 at 4:43 AM Unrequited and unfulfilled love begets hatred…
So very true about Wook... His feelings of guilt and inadequacy for failing to help HaeSoo made him insecure and he thought she resented him (in fact he asked if she hated him) .... Therefore he worried about losing her love and thus lost his trust in her.
He also was caught by surprise, to find out about the depth of HaeSoo's and 4th's relationship.... jealousy, anger and insecurity surfaced when he saw 4th propose to HaeSoo

Se-Ryung (Moon Chae Won) in ----The Princess' Man
He also was caught by surprise, to find out about the depth of HaeSoo's and 4th's relationship.... jealousy, anger and insecurity surfaced when he saw 4th propose to HaeSoo
By testing her, it was like wish fulfillment ....
He really is a tragic figure :(
