Wow.And…
I admit I haven't started this one yet. However, the point you made about Ms. Curtis' dialogue delivery compelled me to give my two cents. 🙈 I feel that non-native English speakers tend to hold themselves back while speaking in this language. It's maybe because in these parts English is usually taught in formal settings. So, when any non-native speaker uses the language, they tend to be more proper (in terms of tone and inflection) and I guess that's what sort of neutralises the impact... And I guess this is what has happened here. I do understand that everywhere, people have put their own spin on English and code switching is common. However, I believe one's native tongue allows more sass/more authenticity, even with English words sprinkled in. I think had there been an amazing English adaption, the way the dialogues would be written could have been as equally biting as in the original. Also, I feel when actors act in a language that's not fundamentally their own, they tend to struggle a bit. (I am aware that English is widely spoken in the Philippines.) I have seen amazing actors give weaker performances when not performing in their own language and this is true for any language. I do understand that exceptions exist.
P. S. : Apologies for the rambling. I don't know if all that I have said makes any sense or if I have even been able to get my thoughts across. Sometimes, things make more sense in my head than when I write them down. 🙈😅
Yeomhwa sucks. I don’t care about her past trauma- I’m so tired of her treating everyone like crap when they…
The psyche works in mysterious ways. Sometimes, one ends up loathing oneself so much that it's comforting in a twisted way to have others validate that self loathing. It feels like an absolution of deep rooted guilt. If you watch CDramas, then yes. 😅
The poster intrigues you into checking the page! 😅 Tbh, as I looked at the poster, I hoped that the actors are those who I like because these story beats have been done to death, and the acting, the storytelling style, the pace, the direction and the execution play a role in making a familiar story with clichéd tropes interesting. Unfortunately, I am not exactly a fan of the either actor. P. S. : A TPOB fan! Blossom last year, and TPOB and ADWAD this year have been absolute treats. 😍
Both of you have a point and I quite agree with the OP that posters do play a role in drawing or pushing away potential viewers. Tbh, one of the main reasons I landed up on this page is because of the poster. I like it for the very reasons the OP dislikes it. The poster is dark and sombre in tone as well as unfocussed, which promises melancholy and suggests a degree of restlessness. I really like the old timey vibes.
I guess in real life too you're attracted more towards unfaithful playboy type of guys 😅
Your comment is uncalled for. Whatever your actual feelings may be, it's a bit rich to judge someone's entire dating style on the basis of a single comment on a "fantasy" drama page.
They are played by the same actor. The chemistry is the same.
Actually, GU is passive while BS is boisterous, hence, the chemistry created with PSA would obviously be different and is indeed different. And if it's not, then the actor is lacking which obviously is not the case here. Also, in my opinion, CYW plays BS better than repressed GU. There have better representations of repressed, depressed males in dramas.
If a boy thought l was a reincarnation of his dog l would always cry myself to sleep 😭😭😭😭😭
That's exactly why Do Yeon and Jinung's romance works so well. 😅 He has become adorably sincere about her which initially stemmed from his misconception, and Do Yeon understands that and can see past being seen as a reincarnation of his dog. Bok-i was just not a loyal dog, it was a dog that didn't abandon Jinung even after death. Jinung as you know is from a dysfunctional family. So, stuff like that matters in visceral ways. Also, Do Yeon is a bit of an oddball and pretty much left to raise herself as her parents are almost mostly at work. It's sweet how she still wears her hair in those primary school style double ponytails. 😂
choo young woo's acting in the latest ep is insane. the fact that he was able to distinctively act like bongsu,…
I, too, was impressed. He did so well as Bong Su masquerading as Gyeonu. All the while Bong Su was pretending to be Gyeonu, I kept thinking something was off about him and I felt like it was Bong Su, yet, when Seonga didn't say anything, I double guessed myself till finally Seonga called Bong Su out for the charade. Throughout that time, it felt like we were watching Bong Su Lite since his charade was sans his trademark sarcasm.
