I heard the original movie was good and audience really loved it. And From moon chae won’s instagram I found…
That's awesome news, and yeah I recently saw she was writing about Naui Ahjussi drama on her Instagram and even posted some amazing scenes, and she does indeed post lots of movie and recommend them :)
If it's Moon Chae Won, then surely I'll be looking forward to it. She is indeed the queen of acting, especially melodrama (seems this movie too has the melo tag) and that makes me want to se everything she has starred in.
I was expecting Kim So Yeon and Kim Seo Hyung because both of them can do antag and protag roles
It's just they aren't as popular as those mentioned on MDL. Se Yeon has a bit less than 1000 hearts on MDL, whereas Seo Hyung has even much less, about 366 at the moment writing this comment.
Usually, the young actress/actors have ten or even more fold the number of hearts, hence popularity on MDL than the middle-aged or elder talented actresses who have worked on K-Drama over ages... It's such a pity but can't do anything about it, after all, lots of MDLers are very young people of age 15-25, and they do consider looks in their standards for their beloved actors/actresses.
Even after those told, I would love to see "Lee Ji Ah" gets some recognition this year, for her amazing portrayal this year in The Penthouse 3. She has an especially lovely collected voice, and super talented!
Episode 5's teaser scares me. Please someone, just kill THE D*MN LOSER JOO DAN TAE!
And I have to admit, Even tho I found Seok Kyung's actions and behavior very evil and rude from the beginning, I haven't been able to hate her character at all. She really made my blood boil at times, especially in those first 3 episodes, bullying Min Sol A, was too heartbreaking. Yet again, I always planted some hope deep down. She will get better, definitely, she doesn't look like a bad person, she has her circumstances, along those lines, I always thought.
Yet, it's Season 3, and she is still acting dumb and rebellious, at this rate, I'll feel betrayed if she just dies without getting a proper finale for her character development... I really hope, the screenwriters give her a nice epilogue. she needs to repent, and beg for forgiveness... and just reconcile with that kind mom of hers! I don't want her to leave the show on a bad note! PLEASE, writer-nim.
Shim Soo Ryun: The only character since the first season that I've been rooting for %100, and really really hoped she will be HAPPY, for a while at the very least!
Na Ae Gyo: OMG I could only admire the bravery of this woman! she is such a cool character, more screen-time please, I love her :))) 2nd favorite character!
Min Sol A: Okay, so I can't seem to hold my emotions in check whenever she appears on screen, her acting, her words, she just gets me instantly, to give me the blurry eyes, I really can't stop tearing up!
Ro Na and Yoon Hee's scenes, and some of the other kids scene [Jenny, Seok Kyung & Seok Hoon] when it's involving their moms also gets me very emotional. It's very well done in this season too, especially Jenny & Her Mom.
THOSE ABOVE are the only reason I can continue watching this ridiculous inferno full of whining, jealousy and hate and not at all a positive message in it's core!
Those few moments with those characters are truly the only saving grace!
The others? They can go to hell, or anywhere. I don't care. they make my blood boil too much!
Glad you liked the articles :) Just sharing my experience. and damn, I just finished first episode of Nevertheless,…
Thank you for replying :))
And yeah it's indeed a very tense atmosphere from the first seconds... and the ML have such a mysterious vibe, kinda reminded me of Yoo Jung's character from Cheese in The Trap, acting nice upfront, yet seems to have a horrifying hidden side.... I'm expecting a train-wreck too, and what can I do, I can't back up from it now, it seems real interesting! But I must also say, it will be quite tough since I went through so much heart-wrenching experiences with my last two Kdramas "Beyond Evil" and "Youth of May"
Lots of useful insight and I enjjoyed reading your other article too, The 2nd chance project. I have to say I agree with you on most cases where I want to drop a drama too, the emotional drive is my most frequent case. I opened the first episode of Vincenzo, and watched like 5 minutes or so, and that's when I felt it... this drama wasn't for me, I didn't want to try struggling thorugh the first episode, maybe I was not in the mood, and someday I will give it another chance, but for now, there are so many other drama I can enjoy watching.
I was hooked on Itaewon Class, in it's first minute, and it's true I was kinda disappointed with the last 3 episodes, but still never was a time I wanted to drop it after that first minute,
Today too, I was already LOVING the first two minutes of the recent drama 'Nevertheless' , the scenery, the amazing music playing in the background, and the character's expressive and deep monologue in the snow, It made me convinced that I will not drop this drama, and finish it at all costs.
With, Youth of May, the first 15 minutes told much more than another drama's first episode does, by the 10th minute mark, I was invested in Hee Tee's objective, and what he has to do with the uprising. and on 15th minute mark, we had already seen the seriousness, the desperate expressions of Myung Hee, and was invested in her character, to get to know about her past, what made her this way.
This is just me deciding to watch a drama or not based on the first 10 - 20 minutes sometimes, and drop them if those few minutes didn't give me a reason to continue that first hour! I do sometimes skip to the end if it didn't hook me in those earlier minutes, and check the ENDING THEME, the song that plays when the credits roll, I actually decided to watch 'Are You Human Too?" because of Lyn's lovely hyped song, then stayed for NAM SHIN <3
That would be an awesome experience, just noting that those two drama doesn't have much in common, so you may not like one necessarily enough yet be able to enjoy the other still a lot. They both do tackle with human emotions, and what is a real human being like, a nice person being like.
I'll definitely try! I know BOL4 is sooo good! Ans you should check out those dramas and movies soon, I know you…
I actually forgot to say this earlier, but Us and Them is my absolute favorite movie of all time, after I finished that movie, I tried searching a bit to find something similar and I totally failed to do so, do you perhaps recommend anything that could have similar vibe, similarly heavy and emotional story ? I really loved that gem of an art! and seeing it as your favorite movie too makes me so happy :))
Those have been on my watch-list for a while and I already anticipated they would be masterpiece level good, to see you mentioning them made me really happy and I think this will be my cue to go and just watch them right away!
And I totally love Bol4's music, it's such a lovely yet indie style that's so different from all other K-POP songs, I recommend you also listen to BOL4's "Love Letter" which is sang for Start-Up OST and a few other original song by them are amazing beyond words. "X song" and "Fight Day / 싸운날 "
I love the idea, totally unique, I just didn't get how the main character realized that her life is being drawn, guided by the writer? How did she get the idea to counter react to the writer and interrupting him to get the ending he first time set up to do.
BTW, I was so looking forward to Go Min Si's drama as a lead, first fell in love with her performance in 'The Smile Has Left Your Eyes' and now in Youth of May, she is literally killing her role! She is sooo cool and her speech tone (her dialect) is sooo soo adorable, at times her looks also reminds me of Moon Chae Won, and her voice of IU [Especially when she was talking to her little brother in the first episode]
Just coming back to say, it's nearly one year passing from the air time of this drama and this still holds in my heart the 2nd place of my all-time favorite drama. It was such a great emotional ride that I still get heartache thinking about the events, the characters and all.
Since this is such a beautiful human-drama about believing in real happiness and unnoticed kindness existing, I hope you too are blessed with such happiness and find yourself to be more kinder towards others.
