I want to ask about something I read on the internet, did Kim Sae Ron really kille herself on Kim Soo Hyun's birthday…
Yes. It is true that Kim Sae Ron took her own life on Kim Soo Hyun's birthday. Try to imagine how she must have felt and what she was thinking at the time.
I'm here for this, but I confess that I'm currently watching the similarly-themed J-Drama 'Reborn' on Netflix, and the way it handles the ML's do-over is so fresh that I'm worried I'll be disappointed with Reborn Rookie.
Over the past year or three, I've been repeatedly surprised & impressed by unique & insightful storytelling in J-Dramas — and this is the best one yet!
I don't understand. Are they going to ban this drama and will we not be able to see it again after the controversy?
I am entirely confident that Disney would never pull it under any circumstances. Nor will any of the bootleg streamers ever give it up. At worst, MBC will be prevented from re-airing the drama in the domestic market. But even that is doubtful.
or the show the man in the high castle 🏰 where it’s similar The Man in the High Castle is an American dystopian…
Yes. FWIW, TMITHC is based on an award winning novel by author Philip K Dick (Bladerunner), first published in 1963. The story is set in a parallel world which exists alongside the real one (and characters move from one reality to the other)—a concept which has also been used in the K-Drama, The King: Eternal Monarch. While the world of Perfect Crown has no connection to reality.
They're not worried about so many things going on in their country but want to ban a drama instead?
I came here to post this same thought. I used to think that life in Korea wasn't perfect for many, but now I realize they are all living in cotton candy houses with magical comfort-unicorns, considering this is what gets them all riled up in the morning.
Finally rewatched this after several years. I maintain my 10/10 rating, but also now consider this my all-time favorite K-Drama for its outstanding script, production, & performances. Bravo! 👏🏼
After cancelling two K-Dramas last year and the current cancel-culture fervor against this one, I wonder if Disney is considering getting out of the Korean market altogether? If they were smart, they'd have made an animated musical (something the studio was actually built on). But Netflix beat them to it with K-Pop Demon Hunters—a critical success which must be entirely humiliating for the "Mouse House Imagineers"!
Did the production make the typo "Perfect Crow"in their apology? Because if so that would be hilarious! (I'll assume it was a transcription error by the article's author, Lily Alice.)
Just FF to see what is going on. Nothing to write about. All this power struggle just destroyed the drama.
Cancel your Disney+ subscription and let them know your disappointment! Or, if you're stealing content online then you got exactly what you paid for—nothing!
The FL is emotionally stunted with "Arrested Development" resulting from her early loss of her mother along with a lifetime of neglect and scorn from her father. IOW, she had no models of love, and was raised in an environment which was unsuited to healthy interpersonal relationships.
BTW, the ML shares a similar background, but did receive love from his brother and some of the palace staff. We see both characters gradually open up—first to trust, then to the possibility of love. The acting is subtle, nuanced, layered, & impressive.
Does anyone else find the editing weird in this drama especially this last episode ? Felt like they were cutting…
That's when MBC breaks for commercials during the show's initial broadcast in SK. Disney originals don't need to accommodate commercials, and so are smoother. Perfect Crown is a co-production between the domestic network and global streamer.
Uhm guys. Pls always keep ur mind open to questions. So HOW IN THE HELL DID DAEBIMAMA GET THE GODDDAMN CONTRACT
We can surmise that private residence maid & spy Lee A Reum took a photo of the contract which had been left out laying atop a pile of documents & books before the ML came home and placed it in the safe. (We saw him do this.)
