i watched the french original a few years ago and was so excited when this was announced, i really like how they've adapted it, but super sad they didn't keep the charm that the og has. in the movie, the characters are very defined by their unique quirks and the color palette is so beautiful, i felt the drama lacking in those aspects.
looks like theyre trying to tease this show as a Doctor Romantic Kim type of series with han seokkyu as the title character, but the other casts being switched around. season 2 being led by kim dongjun
kdrama industry's issue with taking very young actresses and making them act much older than they are in romances with grown men... this is so messed up she was only a child. they've done the same with shin eunsoo, lee re, kim yoojung, kim sohyun. i pray for all the young girls in the industry
yesss I am, I haven't caught up this week 😭 but i have an interest in random history facts and korea's IMF crisis of 97' is a big one, it's so crazy how it changed the trajectory of so many lifes right before the turn of the new millennia
if anyone watches the og movie once finishing the drama, i highly recommend you watch populaire (2012) after
