"Dear X" don't deserve any nomination. Kim You Jung was great, but that's all. The drama itself only lasted…
That last paragraph, Idk why they did this, I don’t think baeksang needs to chase buzz that much, it’s quite prestigious award and every year lot of people tune in. Why don’t they just add thise popcorn drama win to popularity category and reserve the best award to those that deserve it?
Very good horror, I could only watch family/comedy/taoism horror type, and this has become the top in my taoism horror ranking.
The plot is interwoven nicely, and the beginning is truly impactful. The taoism plot points also held up to scrutiny. Although the plot points surrounding hsu chuan is kinda forced, like how could he take so long to notice something is wrong with his wife? Also I feel like seeing ah yi spitting blood at the beginning should have made people wary, and then his call about taoist should made him alert but he is alone and just froze.
The actress who played muhua is incredible, all her expression were on point. Sadly I think the one who played hsu chuan isn’t as good. If we compare them when they’re possessed, hsu chuan expression sometimes are awkward and couldn’t convey the terror. Other cast didn’t have many important scenes so I can’t judge but they seem to be fine.
Also the credit seems to hint on another season so I’m waiting for it
Just watched this today, it was good movie. It successfully made me empathize with the characters.
My criticism is in the few plot point: - jumping between trains, while the situation not being smooth makes it not as unrealistic, I still think the choice of adding this scene is puzzling - the stabbing by ahui, I know this is to make sure aren can’t escape death, but it’s such flimsy excuse and later ahui death message makes it more laughable - the perpetual cycle of bomber, this person family died in bomb so police must die scenario was repeated thrice, it’s too boring and unreasonable. Being psychopath would’ve been better reason than grieving for their lost family
That said this movie truly has stellar acting (except the mom), austin lin and vivian sung acting really moved my heart. Their eyes, the way they’re trembling… 10/10
are you aware that a lot of popular kdrama are adaptation of some chinese drama?
Limited budget? Dude, chinese entertainment project generally have more investment than regular korean drama. This is why some korean actors got cancelled in china for saying that they only go to china when they need money. This is also why you don’t see chinese actors trying to get overseas market, their paycheck is big enough
Although the other point is true, chinese scriptwriting especially for idol drama like this is usually bad, they take known IP to reduce the risk and butcher it.
character introductions from Studio Dragon:Song Kang as Kang Bi O(17-27 years old, Male / Aristocratic Family,…
Wait who is seonju? I hope this won’t be love triangle though
Btw not viola taking strays here “Although she practiced the violin, Jae In lacked talent for it and eventually switched to viola, a less challenging instrument” Twoset violin definitely are gonna react to this lol
So it’s like reincarnation drama where ceo dies then born as an employee and again becomes the ceo??
It’s more of soul switch with an employee. From reading the character description it seems his two children will fight for company and he will fix it or something. I don’t know where they’re going with this but I love when the char description is detailed since it means the plot is hard to guess
