I'm the opposite. While Shi Mok might be emotionless, Jo Seung Woo made this character so enigmatic that I feel…
I am very happy to meet a real drama fan like you who shares my feeling about the main character! And I agree, the actor is gifted in his role, he must make you feel subtleties while remaining emotionless, not easy! I have the same opinion (as I already said), he is incorruptible, and living without emotion does not prevent him from having good morality. It is intelligence. However, what disappointed me was the general lack of emotion in the drama, which could have been brought by the other characters more. I felt like I was seeing an American series rather than a Korean drama at times.
PPL isn't the main problem here, problem is mostly the script.One of the worst script I ever seen.There is also…
I haven't been able to ignore some of the negative points that jump out at me. But certainly, if one manages to do so, the drama possesses a mysterious and magical aura that is sure to please. Still, there are good iconic scenes, and comedy scenes are good, unlike Goblin's comedy scenes. TKEM as a whole is less boring than Goblin, and more interesting to criticize even when you don't like it. By the way, I don't regret the time I took to create comedy memes about the drama. I remember that there was someone in the comments who had fallen in love with drama! I can't criticize that because it has happened to me, very rarely, in other works as well.
If you like a drama that challenges you to think, give it a try
You're quoting good references. I am a regular (or even passionate) about this kind of stories. I mention it on my profile or on my review of the drama "W". That's why TKEM disappointed me so much.
I remember that when I saw the drama, my concern was not to think about the story, it was mainly to unravel the bag of knots of the imprecise, messy scenario, which unnecessarily hid the maximum amount of information. It was painful and laborious because on top of that, the story was not hectic, nor addictive.
But what's the point of repeating myself, it's on my review. This drama was a bad experience for me, I gave it more time than it should have. But as there was the containment because of the virus, I wasted time on it, when I should have been working on my personal projects instead...
Currently re-watching TKEM and saw this warning in some episodes - "this program contains product placements".…
PPL isn't the main problem here, problem is mostly the script. One of the worst script I ever seen. There is also problems about directing and editing.
ep43, woo, there is epic historical feeling. So many real historical characters and facts. Great drama, one of the best I watched until now. A bit irregular about pace during second part.
Im at ep14. The writers of drama are so famous and writed big hit historical dramas before, pretty accurate about history or lifestyle. 6FD is not so easy to watch, lot of names to remember, but it's quite fast paced, and good politicals schemes. Emotions and nice Ost/Bgm supporting this. Great fight scenes. For now, I enjoy the 2nd love story of the drama more than the main one.
It's not something that annoys me but rather something that amuses me a lot because I'm used to it, and it adds to the charm of a kdrama, but... Every time there's a western character, it looks like they've caught the first tourist who passed by on the pavement to play the part! I've never seen such bad actors. The only one I can remember who plays it right is Lee Cham: https://mydramalist.com/people/7464-lee-cham
Almost all kdrama so. ^^It's a cultural aspect, quite important, and it's also funny to get a romantic heroin…
I need to ask that to a korean ! I remember in the drama Sandglass (1995), the main character piggy back his mother because she's tired. So, look like an usage. And here, it's not a comedy, but a sad and realistic drama.
I can’t stand Korean movies and drama make the main leads drink too much alcohol. Bad promotion and influence.…

Anyway, what the point ?
If I feel like I want to write here, I write here, ok ?

You convinced me to not watch it.
So I thank you as well, because it helped me.

Hopefully, this trope is still used.
I remember it happens in Suspicious Partners.
