could someone explain what do they mean by 'mercenary' and why are mercenaries in disdain? I'm only familiar with…
They are called scabs in the USA. They are not part of the striking group. Companies who don't or can't meet the terms of the strikers will just replace them because a lot of people want jobs. The scabs are usually hated by the strikers. Korean contract workers have few benefits like the permanent workers and are paid a lot less. They can end their contracts without renewal, essentially, they are at the mercy of the company. More contract workers mean less troublemakers.
The original Japanese drama was brilliant! Pillow hugs and tears. This has the right ingredients with tvN producing, the director from On the Way to the Airport, the writer from the dark drama The Handmaiden and Lee Bo Young as the lead. Yep, this will work.
Animation focused on wuxia fight scenes while the story is explained in dialogue in the closing scenes. Kind of backwards. It's set up to add on a sequel. It's ok if you like wuxia.
This drama is produced by HUACE CROTON media. The same people that produced 10 Miles of Peach Blossom, Love O2O, General and I, etc.. So, I have high hopes for this. Croton's PR video: https://youtu.be/whcvlnBwXzE
I want him to hang out with Jiang Hyuk so the confidence level rubs off. He is not a bad actor. He is stunning to look at, But, insecurity sometimes shows on his face as if he is not sure of his lines or has mirrors at home or at work. He would get lead roles if he was more confident. Jang Hyuk has been in some bad dramas, but, his acting in those dramas has been very good (A Beautiful Mind comes to mind). imho
people will compare it to Goblin but I don't care because I really love the modern fantasy genre (except for everything…
Ditto! Add hating zombies to the vampire list. Neither group should be in a modern fantasy! Lee Seung Gi picked a good comeback character. He looks great manlier, if that is even possible!
It's like the entire cast and crew needs to drink some of those energy tonics and gold foil wrapped pills often. seen in kdramas. This was very boring and I tried watching it twice. Love the actors.but, disliked the script.
Excellent for those who love underdog special forces action. Children are rescued and bad guys are taken down. Gratifying to watch as the hero sacrifices all to save the innocent. The fight scenes were well choreographed. Heart touching moments sprinkled in. Better than most Chinese action movies I have seen and I have seen a lot of them.
Every few years I stumble across a poster for this movie and I go back to watch it again. I have lost count. But, always fell amazed when watching this great movie. It's beautifully acted and filmed.
A very good drama. Need to watch season 1 to fully understand the ending. Both seasons are worth watching.Season 2 has more action and suspense. A little light on the romance. The surgeries can be graphic, hard to watch because they look real.
I could not make sense of the final arc. I felt as if I had entered a parallel dimension. Prior to the Yan Feng/Chen…
I bet they had the first episodes scripted and got the good actors to sign on like Princess Agents. Then, the finished script was a let down and they were already filming and under contract. I will have to treat Chinese dramas like Thailand dramas and only watch them when they are subbed and completed. The Thai drama, Princess Hours, has me reading all the comments and spoilers before starting any Thai drama. It was that bad.
Loved it! Watch this for a sweet romantic drama for all ages. Great chemistry between the leads and a happy ending with possibilities for a season 2. It's great to see the charming Kim Nam Gil doing dramas again. 9/10
