YES to all!!!.... Ken is always captivating..... and this version is so much better than the newer one, mainly because of Ken's performance!!!....Captivating !!!

Only saw Ep-1-7 subbed, skimmed thru the rest since I know the story...STILL
Older version had better script and better acting!

I like the Original so Much More: .... Much better Acting.... better Writing .... better Comedy .... better Supporting Actors .... better hair, make-up, costumes, sets, etc... better Music .... better Villains ... better Chemistry.... !!!

Also, the older version had Tons more "Feels", more "Jealousy", more "Angst"....and more Love !!
--->>> Mainly because James' performance is lacking ... It is not even fair to compare him to the Master of Love/Hate: No one is better than Ken at expressing the complexities of these emotions.

This version is more condensed ....and I like how they re-did some scenes ....
NONETHELESS, I still prefer the Original Script because it had much better Dialogue and banter, and it was way Funnier !!!

I will watch as soon as it is subbed.... I am still waiting for the "Krating" to be completely subbed somewhere :((( ....*Crossing fingers*
.... As u can tell by my Avi, Ken is #1 for me! <3 ....
Although, Ananda was amazing in "Suer"! <3.... He has it all: gorgeous Looks, great Talent and amazing Charisma..XD

I am really regretting posting the above comment...LOL
At the time, my excitement for this series and my obsession over the newly discovered Chakrit, together with the disappointment of finding out he declined this show got me all riled up.... :P ...XD !!!

I am really glad Andrew is doing well....
Let's just hope Chakrit comes out with something new, exciting and subbed!

My apologies to all Andrew fans. :)

Thanx :D it's nice to see other people notice the depth and complexity of these characters!
and u r right!...such intensity and depth in a drama is rare!!!

I will give Andrew a chance... many have praised him.... It's just that I had just discovered the irresistible Chakrit and was so eager to see him in a good lakorn like this series.
Andrew's looks however are another matter...I don't think he's my type.
Well, to be honest, Chakrit was not my type either, but within 2 minutes of him appearing on screen he captured my heart with his charisma.

Excellent observation about the eyes fluttering then closing....signifying it is a conscious choice to stay there.

thank you

me too!

I forgot one of the best C-Dramas w/ one of the best romances and great lead characters:

--- "Cuo Dian Yuan Yang" ..... especially Season 1 (Episodes 1-25).

I Loved Wei Wu-Ji in SotD.... Great character, perfect example of a man!

Thanks. I'll give him a chance, even tho his looks bother me.
Yet, nothing can take away the disappointment that Chakrit is not in it.

All excellent choices @Geanina ... All my faves.... and.... Jung Woo-Sung and T.O.P. are my top 2 assassins also.
I would add:
--- Jo Jae-Heon in the movie "Bad Guy" .... (in "Marine Boy" he would be classified under 'Gangsters').

These two are killers, but not assassins or gangsters.... Just very charismatic Masterminds-of-Evil and they did personally kill:
--- Go Hyun-Jung as Lady Mi Shil in "Queen Seon Duk"
--- Kim Yeong-Cheol as Prince Suyang in "The Princess' Man"

Thnx!

Thnx!...Sounds deep :D ... It just moved to the top of my PTW List!

Do you mean "Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan"? .... I did hear it has amazing writing.... But is it true that the romance is weak?
