What an awesome article! You must spent a lot of time writing it. Its one of my fave Cdrama for this year after Shining for One Thing. I love the arts that Shen Yi drew in his journal for each case. Will definitely check the 2nd season if they decided to do one. I was curious who is the one who tear up his portrait in the last scene as each case and theme has been solved at the end.
I don't really care about the music in dramas, you could play anything and I wouldn't notice as long there is…
But music in asian dramas is like one of the things that made it so great. The lyrics are actually the POV of the characters and when it played during sad scenes for an example, it made the whole scene even more heartwrenching. Thats why streaming sites also translate the lyrics of the songs as well since its one of the highlights.
For an example for Cdrama; Shining for One Thing, the lyrics are more like foreshadowing of the future events in the drama and it contains lyrics such as 'star shaped engraving on the left side of your arm' which the ML has in the drama. :D
For me, to rewatch dramas, it need this 2 factors:
1) Dramas with smart script such as Joy of Life or Nirvana in Fire. Chances for this type of drama to taint the already perfect memory of them are pretty low but instead you will ended up with a better ratings after you finished it for the 2nd time since all the foreshadowings, gestures, secret and ambiguous scripts all made sense. And you realized how clever is the script since you start noticing all these small thing that contribute later to the overall plots.
2) Your comfort dramas -- dramas that made you happy simply by watching it. Usually, this type of dramas are silly with high entertainment value and it got plots that you already know the direction so instead of feeling anxious on what the plot might go, you just simply enjoying the ride, again... :D
What is her secret? His secret is truly a secret like the hidden robot message, the box full of memories and the hidden message that he wrote on her school book. What was hers aside from the diary entries?
i dont remember but im pretty sure its something like i like you, can u tell me where i'll go check
What is her secret then? His secret is truly a secret like the hidden robot message, the box full of memories and the hidden message that he wrote on her school book. What was hers aside from the diary entries?
I just cant stand how she bases every life choice on what the ML does. Like when the ML is kinda a jerk b/c he…
I have a problem with this too. And she is lucky the ML is kinda perfect and see how wrong is her thinking. But her being pissed off when the ML said that to her was really weird as he is right. And her reply 'what do you know about love'? I was like? ?!!! haha
IKR? They always wear matching clothes that are not in your face type of thing. Its not exactly a coupling outfits but their clothes matched with each other all the time. :D
I wonder how ratings in MDL works. I noticed dramas with a lot of watchers usually get higher ratings which is kind of weird despite the lack of quality of the said dramas.
She is actually my fave Japanese actress! I like how she can appear likable despite playing an annoying character which is no easy feat to do. My favourite dramas of her is Tatta Hitotsu no Koi and JIN. She is the type of actress that always play soft role but at the same time appear very strong -- this combination is actually rare.
And she also the most likable celebrity in Japan. She always stay at #1 for many many years and constantly on the list.
Sad that Joongki passed this role. The writer is one of the best in Kdramaland. I guess the lackluster response of the first season might be the reason.
Yes, C-dramas have an obsession over the phrase 'eternal love' and the word 'love' in general. 'Moonlight drawn…
Yes, it sounds so poetic thats why I feel frustrated when they changed it. The title sounds like a good classic sageuk, but the English title become cringe instead haha
That's a great analysis. But we have that scene in the end where Surin met a much older Sungmin, though, so I…
Yes, the old man could be the same imposter Sungmin who now donned the old man appearance. Everything was shown from a far so the theory can still make sense.
There is a reason why the director put the dragon cravings or why there is a script on how they are being watched so this all like clues to the 2nd theory. Director wouldn't put scenes that dont have meanings esp in movies where the screentime is limited.
