Honest Swan

Hahaha, I can see what you mean by that. Its only because you saw the original version you can't help but compare. I guess the actress was going for some spoiled and impulsive teenager. Lets just give it some time, maybe her character will come around.

Wow, you're so lucky. You'll definitely enjoy this one.

Its two episodes mate. How events unfold from this version takes almost 10 episodes. So Korea version is somehow compact. I wouldn't say rushed considering its going for 16 episodes. And in the Chinese version, the mother of the ML is even more evil than you saw in the two episodes for the K-version. Also, from the preview, the SML meeting his father and the ML's mother returning, that happens almost mid-way in the Chinese version. So, there are some events lost in the way since its a 16 episode drama. But mostly, it is the bond between the new found siblings and the new dads. So, YEAH those 2 episodes can give you the idea of how both versions are different yet similar.

You won't enjoy as much if you compare the two versions. Sadly, I can't help but do as I have seen both. I think the remake would have been such a hit if it was original coz there's that K-drama touch. But having seen the original, it takes away the suspense as I already know how the story unfolds. I guess that's why I think I would have really hyped the K-drama version if it was the original. Nothing to take away from the original version though. It was done splendidly well. Being over 40 episodes, it was much deeper and heart-wrenching than our K-drama remake. So I have to give it to them.

Bruh, just shut up. Does it affect you if it bothers me or not? Now move on, look for someone else to help in your boredom. The trouble you're looking for you won't find here. I will just tell you what Ankit told me, 'Stop butting in something that doesn't concern you' LOL. Now, if you have a problem with that take it up with her. Apparently, this was their conversation we're invading. And I am starting to agree.

Its soo good that I wish I started watching it late. Now, I have to suffer with the rest of you and wait for the next episodes each week for the rest of this year.

You're late for the party. But if you must know, that was my exact point. Its a public forum everyone participates otherwise you can send someone message privately. The topic is long overdue now. I don't want to prolong it.

He seems to be doing good to me. Check out his social media profiles. He still has some sponsorship deals. Maybe you're right, the money coming in may have decreased. But he doesn't seem even to be crying about it. I still see he has a significant influence maybe less than before but still significant. Its like for instance I used to earn 1.5M but now I am earning 1M. Its still a huge amount of money. Many actors suffer more. They go months even years for some without even being seen in public let alone posting in their accounts. So thats why to me, he seems to be doing genuinely well. No shades thrown.

Good thing the world does revolve around you otherwise some people would suffer at your hands in the gist of self-righteousness. He's gonna be fine. In the meantime, lets talk about your career. How is that one going? Worry about that. Let him worry about his.

What mess exactly? Having a personal life outside his career?

No, you can keep crying about it.

No, I will keep butting in. If you can't take it, go cry about it, LOL.
We can do this all day if you want. Promise me you won't cry though.

I didn't do something. I said something. Now, leave me alone and go get some social life.

Okay, Ankit. You seem like a sad person. I don't want to start my day with a negative energy from you. Take time and heal. Go touch some grass too.

Its a public forum so. I suggest next time take it to her DM or private message if its not for others to see.

Yeah, Kokdu was after the scandal. Even Seo Ye Ji has yet to make a comeback after the scandal too. Scandals and controversies are career changing thing in South Korea. As for Choi Tae Joon, I just think it has nothing to do with his talent. He is talented. But things like this makes me think it has to do with his agency. At the end of the day, it boils down on how good you market a product. With a good agency, he should be able to land good roles and big ones at that.

No, weekend dramas are more taxing and takes more time to produce. That's why more established actors and actress don't take it. A weekend drama can actually take between 6-8 months or even a year for production. But the regular 16 episode series takes between 3-4 months. The weekend dramas mean you're tied down to a long-term project.
Its like writing a research article and a research project in colleges/ universities. A research project will have you committed longer than a research article.
So it has nothing to do with taking time for their family. Its just that Choi Tae Joon is criminally underrated. His last major project was three years ago and even those didn't perform exceptionally well for him to gain nationwide attention.
Also, you said he wants to slow things down. His career hasn't really hit the mark. He doesn't have that much option to work with for him to consider that. So it would only make sense if he is well-known and a lot of directors want to cast him that slowing down things would be an option.
Anyway, you don't slow things with a weekend drama. Its more of a popularity thing. You take it to gain more popularity or showcase your acting talent to the bigshot production companies.

Yeah, weekend dramas are mostly taken by actors/actress who want to revamp their careers. Established actors or actress don't do it as much. Though I understand Kim Jung Hyun had a scandal. So it must have been hard for him to get back. So this must be a way for him. But I thought Choi Tae Joon was doing well considering he was a ML in his previous drama. I am guessing he wasn't getting projects as much. You have to pick something eventually, don't you? So you just pick something you get your hands on.

Sometimes only the established actors get to be picky with their projects as they have an image to protect and you wouldn't something to flop. But if you're growing, you just pick what you find and work hard to make it interesting.
So that basically gives you an idea of why they chose to do a weekend drama. Its the best way to build viewership or fanbase in South Korea. Weekend dramas are especially known for that.

I literally thought the same after reading your comment but then checked other photos in the collection. I think its him. Its just that he must have lost a lot of facial fat. But its HIM.

Azalea, I literally don't care about LGS. And my point was never addressing about that. I am just thinking LGS has a new project, cool. I might check it out when it comes out and if I have time on my hands. I am not a big fan either. I will watch it or decide not to depending on the reviews.
Whether he is average or not, I won't argue about it because that depends on someone's preference or taste. If you don't find him above average and I do, so what? I like him so I will watch just for him. I will just assume there's something wrong with your taste and move on. I will just think to myself your taste is beyond repair and won't care to argue with you.
