Before I'd say I'm pumped for OBS's sceenwriter's drama, but Melo Movie was such a disappointment. However, the director usually brings good chemistry and I enjoy her work. Would prefer it wasn't high school setting, but we'll see. I'm optimistic.
At first, I could really sympathise with the the daughter. When you have to fake smiles to the whole world, be it in school or at work, it is easy to let out your frustrations at home, the only place you don't have to pretend to fit in (if you have understanding parents like her). I get it at 14. At 18. At 22 even. But for Christ's sake, she does it at 30 too, and stops only at 35ish after her pregnancy? This is just vile. I couldn't dislike her more. They never expected her to be the breadwinner, so what is she salty about? Didn't she want to study? You're sad that your parents sold their house to send you to Japan? Maybe don't even consider it and tell them in the first place, when you know how they get. And that it will ruin them financially. Personally, my parents sent me to capital to study, but I wouldn't even consider studying abroad, when we didn't have the means. I was just glad enough for the opportunities I got.
And the son... yeah his sister received more praise. But she did deserve it. Again, I understand bratty behaviour in high school. But knocking up a girl, without a job, and getting into business with shady people, having to be saved time and time again, and still lashing on his parents? I mean they weren't saints, especially Ae Sun, but his dad really doted on him. But the son only remembered bad things.
I honestly believe Ae Sun and Gwan Shik were the best possible parents on that island, with their financial resources and background. They didn't deserve to hear time and time again that their kids don't want to be poor like them.
Funny how two Itzy members had cameos in similar office revenge dramas: ryujin in Reborn Rookie ans Yuna in Undercover Miss Hong haha. Both dramas are very good btw too
I love Jae Seong's character development. Even though he made many bad decisions, ultimately he grew from it. I know the main focus is on the relationship between the chairman and Bang Geul, but I hope we will get some father-son interactions in ep 12 as well. Jae Seong deserves an apology from his dad as well.
>I lost weight by eating just one very small meal a day. >I have also been exercising diligently and trying to lose weight as healthily as possible, without putting myself under too much stress. ^ pick one.
Unfortunately, the final twist was pretty obvious to me by ep 2 (the roses + the narrator + "I know him from somewhere" scenes). So other than a story about an author falling deeper and deeper into dillusions (which yeah, was somewhat satisfying, i hated him) this show didn't have much to offer to me. Acting was great and so was the music, but apart from that, if you know you're just watching imaginary story, it's not thrilling at all.
[Ep 24] I really don't have a clue why the marquis sent his OWN SON to kill the prisoner. Okay, maybe he needed someone super loyal for this suicide mission. But then the son revealed his face BY HIMSELF. His bandana didn't fall during a fight, he just took it off. This really could have been done better. The fact that the consort has the edict and the queen doesn't know about it makes no sense either. Marquis was after it too, wouldn't he ask Ye Li's father what happened to it? And then the queen would know that the consort has it? The show is unfortunately plagued by plotholes in the second half. I can get behind silk that sets people on fire, but not stupidifying characters. The romance also lost it steam, and I am losing my will to continue it.
I really hope that chairman's death is a trap, cause letting that evil witch visit him alone, time and time again without security would be beyond stupid. And if he's dead, at least she won't visit lol.
Just a year late to share my new theory about why NH was answering YM rudely when they met in the modern times during the last episode (when she took off his sunglasses). First, he didn't know she is back yet. Second, he didn't want her to fall for Nan Feng! She told him herself that Nan Feng is rude, and he did not want her to fall for Nan Feng until she goes to the book and falls for Nan Heng, so he kept the rude act until he was sure. It's so cute how he was waiting for her, I can't. This is the best ending ever.
Do Korean doctors actually perform acupuncture? Isn't it widely considered to be pseudoscience?
It's traditional korean medicine. And I don't think it's pseudoscience? Needles are used even in western physiotheraphy. I recommend The Best Thing if you want to learn more about (chinese) traditional medicine through a drama!
Why is he suddenly playing 2nd male lead? Did something happen?
Yeah the scandal with his ex (Seo Yea-ji) was brought to life after Mr Queen. So then he disappeared for a while, came back with Kokdu which was a huge disaster, and now is trying to rebuild himself in second lead roles.
I really loved how In ah didn't let Ah jeong's vile comments about Ki jun get to her. In many kdramas one comment like this would give dramatic content for a whole episode. But In ah was confident in her relationship and didn't doubt Ki jun one bit.
