I haven't watched The Bond... although I took a look before because of Johnny Bai. Is it good?
Umm... i dont know what genre you like, but it is a very raw, realistic take on humanity and poverty. The characters were soo well layered but it could be quite frustrating at times because everything was so... real. I may nit have been able to get through the drama if it wasnt for the MDL comment section, where we could let out all the pent up feelings over this drama. I made really good friends there, ones i still talk to.
In terms of quality it is top tier in every way. All the actors are amazing, the sets, costumes, cinematography, colors, music(seriously good OST, with Zhou Shen) - everything was highly detailed and made sure the immersive experience wasnt broken for even a minute. At its core, its a story of a family living in poverty, with a terrible father... and how that influences the children's temperaments and decisions. We watch five children grow up, their beautiful sibling bondand it was heartwrenching, solid, heartwarming - happy and sad at the same time, just like real life. Each siblin has a unique character, shaped by their surroundings and struggles. Its intriguing to see how the same circumstances can shape very different characters. The writers connect you to the siblings in such a way that your heart breaks when they make the wrong decision and rejoices jn pure joy when theyre happy. You want to destroy everyone that makes them unhappy, and you want to protect their lives with everything... especially Third Sister and her insanely cute romance.
I honestly can't say whther I'll rewatch it(it took a lot out of me - im someone who loves romcoms), but the experience left an impression on me. Made me realize a lot of things. Ok maybe I'll rewatch it for my beloved kids lol
Park Bo Gum will forever remain my favorite Crown Prince... his character is beautifully layered and he acted the heck out of his role. He's a living illustration of the quote "In sunny weather, be like a child. In stormy weather, be an adult"
I loved how he balanced his reckless, boundary-pushing self with his responsible, leader-worthy side. He wasn't immature and definitely not very serious, but he had his priorities right, knew how to have fun, and was also wise. I loved the brotherhood as well as the way he handled romance. In the end, all the tears I shed were worth it.
Kdrama CEOs, in my experience, seem to be a lot more awkward or boyish underneath with a vulnerable side that…
Yeah the FL was pretty annoying... I like it when the ML doesnt fall for the L immediately but idk i found him a little too forceful - personal preference :) Glad you enjoyed it, though

Exactly. Romantic progression and chracter growth is excellent in most kdramas I've watched. I love cdramas, but mostly just for the fluff. Theres not always much depth or complexity in them. Like scooping a cup of ice cream and shoving it down my throat XD
Let's play:Bangs up or bangs down for Tae Moo?Hair extensions and makeup or all natural for Ha-Ri?Glasses or no…
Tae Mu is super-handsome with any hair Ha Ri is adorable so I think she looks amazing in both GLASSES FOR SUNGHOON he just looks 10x more amazing to me with glasses on Ponytail for Young Seo
I feel a little bad for his gf. Yes, she's catty, but minwoo is the real problem. Why is he getting with her if…
waitwaitwait when did he say Ha Ri is beneath him? He says something about how she's not on Tae Mu's level, but his? I don't remember him saying she was below HIS level...
Hear me out, i've watched so many Domineering CEO dramas in Chinese dramas but they always feel wrong. Something…
Kdrama CEOs, in my experience, seem to be a lot more awkward or boyish underneath with a vulnerable side that isn't totally hidden... they have much more layered, human personalities. You feel like they actually respect the FL. Eg. I'm Not A Robot: He's supposed to be domineering because she's basically his slave(pretends to be a robot), but he ends up being really sweet, trusting and funny. His "domineering" side comes out only in the funny scenes, while he's actually adorable when in a relationship or while interacting with her.
Jugglers: Again, he's supposed to be cold and whatnot but he's so new to relationships that he ends up being adorably funny. At work, he's her boss... at home, she's his landlady. Touch Your Heart: same pattern. Starts out cold, criticizing her, scolding her, and trying to get her to resign, then realizes that she's a very valuable person, falls in love, is a whole BABY Secret Life Of My Secretary: FL is a secretary who does EVERYTHING for him, takes care of him, even handles his personal life, but he kinda takes her for granted. But through it all they manage to keep him adorable, and when he falls for her SPARKLES FIREWORKS UNICORNS COTTON CANDY!!!
The Cdrama ones mostly seem too cold or too untouchable/ forceful/ perfect/ one-dimensional... I think the only one I seriously liked was the ML in Instead of Tipsy Why Not Get Drunk
Continue watching, you will realize they're very different. ML here is more normal one.
It feels like they parodied and picked bits and pieces out of all the good office dramas out there(WWWSK, SWDBS, The Secret Life of My Secretary, Jugglers, I'm Not A Robot, Tomorrow With You, etc.)... And that's why I love it :) They picked all the best parts and dropped out the things/character traits I hated in the other dramas
If you mean her birth mother? Apparently (with 2 eps to go) she has pancreatic Cancer and is dying (like not much…
thanks a lot! I can't get myself to continue after like ep 37 or something, but I want to see the final ep lol can't get out of my attachment to the kids and the main couple

no there's new drama on schedule to replace YLAG, so no extension more. well except they add special later on
The synopsis looks really good(just like how this drama's was - but I'll try to be an optimist) And Yoon Shi Yoon is the ML, so I have high hopes... he's an extremely versatile actor who has wowed me multiple times with his dual roles and comedic timing

This is also my favorite Kim Yoo Jung role ❤️
He plays double roles in both, so i love his versatility
Ha Ri is adorable so I think she looks amazing in both
GLASSES FOR SUNGHOON he just looks 10x more amazing to me with glasses on
Ponytail for Young Seo
