i had a thought before answering, and i think it's not just her. i think both the main leads here have some problems…
yeah because acting is about responding to the actions/behaviours of the characters you are relating to. in this case, it's a romance so both main leads must come across as people who can relate to each other, whether or not as people who hate each other at the beginning, and liked each other more as time passes, or two people who found instant chemistry.
in this case if you notice, their interactions come across as casual conversations by a stranger talking to another stranger. the writer hasn't successfully developed scenes or dialogues that can tease out their uniqueness/charms/chemistry more.
two episodes in, and their interactions are hardly heart fluttering, mostly dry and quite bland.
2. not sure what you mean by the villain time travelling, i didn't catch that. i only catch him travelling to alternate universe. he killed the King in 1994, then fled to republic Korea in 1994, killed his version of self in the republic Korea and also his half-brother, and then stayed there (young Lee Gon in the alternate universe saw he killed the man on wheelchair, so it must be 1994 too). when they opened ep. 1, he was questioned in the police station being handcuffed, and the male detective actually said he's 70 y/o in 2020. so there's that jump they have not explained yet.
3. when Lee Gon crossed to the alternate universe, it's 2019.
4. in ep. 1 the villain went to meet his bodyguard at the fish farm, and the bodyguard said that ten years have passed but his boss still looks the same. that's probably the year 2004.
I'm wondering what everyone thinks of Jung Tae Eul as a character? Something feels off in her interactions with…
i had a thought before answering, and i think it's not just her. i think both the main leads here have some problems at developing an instant chemistry that we'd be crazily rooting for, which hasn't really sparked.
i personally think more than her, it's also the way their scenes and dialogues are constructed because they really do come off as dry AF to me.
okay the second episode is nice, but it's actually quite flat/dry.
i wonder why is that. they could have used Jo Eun Sup's edgy character to give us really nice funny bromance moments but his scenes with Lee Gon were actually quite dull. i mean, they cut off his scenes right at the point he could have made more interesting contributions/banter to the drama. there are also more filler scenes here than the first episode, but i am not complaining because it's nice seeing that handsome face of LMH, lol.
everyone else is sticking to their character well, but i feel like the character of Jo Eun Sup is so under-utilized in this episode WTF. even the seventh grade official, Maximus has more interesting scenes in this episode LOL i am actually quite mad.
what do you think?
p/s the ending scene when Lee Gon told Tae Eul that he found out the reason he needs to stay longer in that universe is because he wants to take her as his wife (Queen), i think that's really sweet. it reminds me of Goblin where their start of their romance somehow felt so rushed, but not so much here because we know he has waited for her for 25 years, and that's a solid reason to me.
but i am already sensing from some people's comment that his fast confession will feel irritable to some viewers, and that's like giving us another trope already used in Goblin. at this episode this drama also feels like a relative downgrade to the interesting support characters that CLOY has managed to give us.
calling for Wang Yibo and other actors' fans to reply.
i don't know really, i checked on his profile and he seems to have acted in several projects. i'm calling for his other fans so we can verify what you said, since i don't know any Chinese actors to make that determination.
