I feel like she...Acts "childishly" sometimes. Ya'll ...I am gonna get thrashed by her PR. But, there's something very "school girl" about her acting. Its not very mature...and by mature, i don't mean the shouting and crying she does in serious roles. I have watched her dramas ans I did enjoy one of them but I just can't praise her acting skills. As for the guy, he has nailed all characters I have seen him play. Am I still gonna give this drama a chance? Sure. Who knows? Maybe her acting has improved
Man, how long has it been since I have seen a drama this good?? ITS A DELIGHT! The male lead has made it to my favs. The female lead is wonderful. Most importantly, the villains the are awesome and complex. Man. I LOVE LAYERED CHARACTERS. Will we see dramas like this again? I am already having withdrawal symptoms!
I wish her all the best. I don't watch her dramas because I can't connect to her characters but she seems like she has a lot of haters to deal with. ..So, i don't want to bring her down here . Who knows...maybe I will end up liking this new drama of hers?
But even if she does, sometimes that's just what we need. When someone writes an over the top, batshit crazy character…
A crazy character doesn't need over the top acting. It just needs a good actor. The recent Batman film had crazy characters but it was praised because despite the craziness, there was no overacting
Overacting?Idk how you feel that.. But literally for me she is definitely a great actress. Have you seen Save…
I mean, if you are into soap operas...then sure, she might seem like an extraordinary talent but I was talking about her acting in general..compared to actors in korean dramas, movies and outside of korea. I totally get that many people love eccentricism and it sells. A lot of actors sell eccentricism as good acting. Its an old formula. But, anyone who loves cinema of all types doesn't enjoy it and always finds realistic and subtle acting to be more powerful
She is actually a decent actress but she has a tendency to overact. Anyone who is too much into loud acting romantic shows can tolerate that but those who have seen cinema of all kinds find it to be intolerable. I cannot get to like her voice at all for some reason even though I have tried hard to do so...because her voice is unique. There are other actresses whom I absolutely love for their similarly deeo voices. She fairs well in very serious roles....but pretty much always overacts
The typical case where a FL gets reduced to nothing by having her make questionable decisions & end up in situations…
I completely agree with so much focus on boring cases. The FL is actually clever for her age and I don't mind her getting saved by the prince... I do enjoy classic romances as long as its well written. However, it wasn't developed well. I absolutely don't mind mushy romances...I am quite shamelss about that but even the romantic scenes were half heartedly shown. The ending was also weirdly written. I personally hate the dubbing they do in chinese dramas. Dialogue delivery is half of the acting talent after all.
The most attractive part of the show was the Prince (the older prince) played by Wen Ying. He has more personality than the ML. Would have to guve credit to the actor as well. He jusg steals the show no matter how small his screentime is.
Criminally underrated. Steals all limelight from famous "flower boy" actors whenever he appears on screen. Painfully underutilized and DESERVES A HIGH PRODUCTION WELL WRITTEN DRAMA AS A MALE LEAD. He would kill in a historical fantasy. Suited to be a God
Are you talking about a 2021 drama??? Bruh! Besides, I am an international viewer...watching kdramas since 10 years now. We don't track the first episode ratings generally unless someone is wayy too obsessed. The buzz only reaches if the genre is either romantic or the drama is so extraordinary that it has also managed to pull the male audience instead instead of the targeted female audience. THIS IS A BAD STORY. Its boring! But the genre is what has saved it compared to the other one. I have seen the most average kdramas do well because of the "romance" genre. For other genres, a lot of people do not prefer kdramas. THE BAR IS LOW FOR THE GENRE Of romantic kdramas. That's true for me too. Kdramas are a "guilty pleasure" for me. My standards for other genres is not met by korean dramas...maybe few korean films are okay but the dramas do not meet the standards of "quality cinema".
Jirisan? What is that. I have never heard of it so clearly, the marketing is not even near to this heavily marketed drama...secondly, is it a romance? More than 90% of kdrama audience is romance loving females. Does it cater to that?
This is type of success WHICH IS NOT GENUINE...because it is riding on the popularity of their previous work. This drama is nothing but a mess...extremely disappointing
I want to give this reviewer a benefit of the doubt...that she/he is a young child writing the review. At that age, I surely thought people past 30 were ancient. "Charm factor" lmao! Because charm and romance is a young person's thing of course...How dare these ancient people show complexity, nuance romance on screen. WHERE'S MY FLOWER BOY?
