No spoiler, just not an important comment. Time travel, check. Wishing you can do your life over, check. Normally don't read the plots but bored today and this drama sounds like a winner.
I find it so romantic the likes me, likes me not with the leaves.
I was confused because I just saw a drama do this and thought it was this one (I am bad with remembering titles) but the one I saw was older. Then remembered it was 'Please Come Back, Mister' where I saw someone do this.
The opening theme song for this mini-drama is pretty good. Only reason why I watched this series was because the website I use had the episodes as 'newly subbed'. It wasn't until now I noticed it was aired in 2023. Overall it's a decent quicky. Ten minute episodes (x18), 180minutes total (3 hours) give or take. If you got three hours to spare and want to be a romantic bum engulfed in a historical but magical Chinese drama. May all your (deadly) festival (killing) wishes come true.
I am using my ai script to make subs for this series after learning about what happened to Lee Eun Joo. My korean ai script isn't as good as my japanese ai script (which is near perfect) but still better than nothing. Send me a PM if you would like a URL to the google drive subtitles.
I just started watching 'Phoenix' and her acting captivated me. Her facial expressions reminds me of an ex-girlfriend I once loved & cherished. I wanted to add more dramas/movies to my playlist which featured her. When I read about her suicide, my stomach immediately turned into knots. Such a shame she felt like she had no one in her personal life should could confine those feelings with.
I've lived in Japan and the Kamen Rider IP is HUGE there. Doesn't matter the age, you could be five years old or 80 years old. Japan LOVES their Kamen Rider series. I've always tried to get into the series due to that reason on how respected it is within the Nippon households but as much as I love Japanese culture. Most Kamen Rider shows I just can't get into. However, while this version of the Kamen Rider IP does tend to be a bit more 'childish' (reminds me of the Gundam Build Divers anime) it also feels like an anime/game series mixed into one. This might be the second Kamen Rider series I actually finish.
Usually not a fan of Netflix produced dramas as they tend to attempt to make them more 'Americanized' for a wider audience. Anyone who has watched this series and knows what I am talking about, would you still recommend it?
I did my usual double blind, search for a random keyword (heaven) and pick a random drama from the search results without reading the plot (Heavens Soldiers). I think this is labeled as a movie but it was showcased as a two episode drama for me. Either case it's about 2 hours long total. This was one of the best double blind picks for me. Not knowing it has time travel and North/South Koreans working together just thrilled me to my drama core. This 'movie' felt like a solid 80's or 90's American military comedy film featuring John Candy, Chevy Chase & Bill Murray type actors. I personally enjoyed it and put me in a good mood after watching it. I highly recommend this to anyone who has two hours to kill and is just in the mood for something fun and unique.
The movie had me laughing my ass off, every time the North and South would argue about how the North's Great Leader's family bloodline are basically like superheroes. With all the wild and crazy stories the DPRK tells it's people.
Does anyone know how well this follows the original story? My dad is a fan of the book so was thinking to recommend…
IMO they changed a good amount from the theological aspect via the novels. The author also wrote the series after being imprisoned in a Japanese camp during WW2. The first book he wrote (King Rat) is actually the 4th book within the Shogun series. I also feel the director took out any personal biased the author might of displayed in his books. These two parts aren't really anything major when comparing the drama but it's more like adding red pepper to fried rice. You don't need it, but it can make it taste better.
I actually stumbled across this drama while searching for the UK drama 'Land Girls' when I typed 'Lady Girls' into Google instead. I almost ignored the show based on the poster for the series, thinking it was about an older guy who flirts with various women. Boy was I wrong, lol and that's why you should never judge a book by its cover. This is a great show for middle age people because older people will understand the ups/downs the series has to offer. Not suggesting that someone in their teens/20's wont enjoy it but unless you have experienced life for 30+ years. It's hard to relate & understand why the show goes in the direction it does.
The cat is probably the best supporting lead in any drama I've seen.
A friend they were with in America. They were at a bar in Los Angeles and a fire broke out with explosions. His friend died in the fire and the father took the friends identity/passport. This allowed the father to start a new life in Korea using his friends identify but nobody knows this other than his wife.
Yes, sort of. All of the children within the show have some sort of relationship with a partner going on. I'd maybe describe it more as 'puppy love' rather than romance. IMO the relationship Byun Rae Yeong builds up with her coworker in the show is my favorite. As I don't want to spoil too much, Ahn Joong Hee starts to do romantic things for someone while he's supposed to be this grumpy/spoiled washed up kpop idol. Seeing him break out of his shell and start doing things from the heart, makes you want to cheer him on.
Currently on episode 50 but curious if anyone knows what the emergency broadcast interruption was about during episode 44 (around the 22 minute mark)?
So far this has been one of the BEST daytime melodrama series I have watched in regards to the whole 'revenge' plot. When this drama was being filmed, adultery was still considered illegal and a punishable crime within South Korea. Other than that, anyone who has been in multiple relationships in real life will understand how great this series is. Especially if you have ever dated someone with bipolar disorder. So far the series doesn't go 'over the top' in terms of crazy plot twists and is can be relatable to real life scenarios.
I know the dating scene these days is much different and people barley leave their homes but as I stated before. Anyone who has had a large group of friends, dated amongst an inner circle or even lives in a small town that loves to gossip. You will be able to relate to this show and might even suggest to yourself that someone you know behaves just like the people within the series.
Found this drama on kocowa while staying over a friends house for a few days with bad internet. I ended up binge watching this show for almost two days straight, non-stop. What I enjoyed about this melodrama series was that it had more to do with everyday things vs. non-stop revenge. Don't get me wrong, I like the cringeworthy revenge dramas. It was nice to finally watch a series that was outside that spectrum. While 80% of kdrama's that are 50+ episodes seem to be primarily focused on a revenge plot.
-Series won five '2017 KBS Drama Awards' including the Daesang (platinum) award. -Won an award in the '10th Korea Drama Awards' along with two other nominees. -Oddly the show wasn't nominated in any category within the '53rd Baeksang Arts Awards'.
One actor is another country got sort of banned for taking a photo during a trip, his last drama was a big hit,…
I can't imagine pretending to be someone you're not for the price of money & fame. You surrounded by fake people 24/7 or leeches. Without being able to just be yourself and breathe.
Idk i'm pretty sure the whole 'got taken down because of china censorship' really shouldn't be that shocking.…
I am no expert on Chinese censorship, I do follow global economics & foreign trade policies. You're constantly being alerted about censorships & sanctions (not just with China). I've also read journals by Manyun Zou discussing her opinions on the censorship in China. While I don't disagree that China does these things, the point I am making is how FAST people were to create a theory without a foundation to support it. All it takes is 20-30 minutes of some basic research and you will find what I found, regarding this drama. How the producers (investors) of this drama forced the streaming platform to market/sell the episodes in an unethical way (because they want money). After IQIYI was bombarded with a vast amount of negative brand awarness in such a short timeframe, they took the series down until they could figure out what to do. Since this is a financial issue between the streaming platform & media group whom created the show. IMO until they can come to some agreement between one another, the show will remain as 'coming soon' until further notice. I understand not to take Chinese news outlets at face value (or any news outlet) but logically speaking when you look at what has been reported in China (from a business angle) ontop of reading comments posted by Chinese viewers which match the news outlets. This makes more sense then what other people have been suggesting. You could debate how the rumors sparked a vast intrest for the show because people enjoy watching things that are 'censored' or hard to find, thus creating a bandwagon effect online.
blah blah blah right? I only enjoy the show because of the gaming plotline. I don't think it's amazing but it's not terrible. Again, I only watched a handful of episodes so it's plausible the show could get better or worse.
