As I only read Faraway Wanders, I can't say much about Priest as a writer, but I surely enjoy that novel; yes, the plot wasn't the most original, but I was amused by her style, the novel is narrated with a lot well placed irony and a bit of cynicism. Also, I personally fell in love with every characters, especially it was a joy reading the bickering between the two male leads and neither one of them was inherently a "good" person (I love characters with gray morals).
The drama adaptation (Word of Honor) was great, the story didn't quite followed the novel, but it was well made and at some point even more interesting; I gladly appreciate how they given more depth and importance to the female characters. The actors too did really a great job, they all captured the essence of their roles and I couldn't help but fell in love all over again with the male leads and the other mains (I particularly liked Xie'er, Scorpion King, they made him a lot more complex and intriguing character, and Immortal Ye Bai Yi, this man was so darn funny I couldn't help but laugh everytime he talked). There's always the censorship's issues and the fact that cdrama usually don't have a very large budget, so the special effects are alway a bit meh, but they did their honest best and one can see that.
Overall, I iked both the novel and the drama and I almost consider them two different version of the same story, of course, both have some flaws, but I'll be lying if I were to say that it was a waste of time. I enjoy every moment I spent reading and watching Word of Honor and I think that Ah'Xu and Lao Wen will always have special place in my heart.
Agree with you, they shouldn't have rushed the ending. Still, it's a drama worth watching and the actors have…
Oh, yeah, thank you for the reminder, I totally forgot it! It should be marked as spoiler now. Also, I agree with you wholeheartedly, the actors did a splendid job and, even it's a pity the ending wasn't handle well, the drama its worth watching!
Loved this drama, but then they started killing all the main characters without a reason or making them act in a way that make no sense knowing their personality. It kinda ruined the ending for me (I can handle a sad end if it's well written) because I wasn't able to get fully in the story and get emotionally invested in it.Overall it was a good, the last ten or so episodes were a bit of a mess, but it deserves a full eight in rating.Also kudos to the ost, it's really beautiful, I could listen to it for hours.
ok, so this is obviously adorable ect........ but am i the only one wondering how he managed to hide a marriage…
My take is that his older sister probably knows what's going on and helped him hide the marriage. Also it seems that the mother didn't know the address of their house until now, so I think she didn't visit him once in these six years and it was only him that went visit his parents in his hometown (obv without the husband and the child). It almost impossible, but I guess if one is careful you can manage for a little ?
This is SO nice and refreshing, the story is a sweet, light-hearted slice of life about two dads and their kid; there's a lot of lgbt+ rappresentation (finally!!) and the interactions between the characters are really cute, I find myself giggling all the time. The drama also shows a little bit their worries and struggles in life in a very soft way. Overall, it's really a good drama and I gladly enjoyed every minute of it!
Okay, this was pretty funny and I liked the sweet twist at the end with the confession. Even so, I prefer the manga, because in there Mob is a lot more chill and brazen and that makes everything ten time funnier, its just pure comedy.This was a nice adaptation tho, good job!!
Lee Do-Hyun, the actor that play younger Dae-Young was 24/25 years old when they shoot this drama so don't worry about his sweet moment with Da-Jung, y'all can enjoy the romance between the two
I'm really happy with how they managed things in ep 4. When the conversation with Gene and Tum's friends degenerate and everyone starts asking question it really brought back some unpleasant memories (and making you uncomfortable was the purpose of the scene, so good job) and also I was so glad that Tum did his best to help (really liking his character so far, I just hope he's not much involved with anything suspicious that's going on with Nubsib). But the real peak of this episode was the drunk scene: thank god they didn't give us the (unfortunately) usual borderline non-con sexual scene. THANK F*CKING GOD. Gene and Nubsib's 'serious' scene are usually pretty good, but this one was the best so far, it was just wholesome and kind of sweet, I loved how they ended up just hugging and cuddling while sleeping.
Hope they don't drop the quality of the series going on, I appreciate what are they doing, the only real thing that bothers me is that it seems the director didn't really now how to choose the genere of the serie: it started at as exaggerate satire, it went to commedy and now we're getting drama. I mean, if you mix them well you can manage to do all, but it feels kinda disconnected and even in the single episodes they go to one extreme to the other withing seconds and the timing is often not right, so it's hard to get immersed in the flow of the story.
Why is nobody talking about how cute is the supervisor who acts like L from death note?? He's adorable and also he searched for *him* for 12 years? That is sure commitment.
