How long before the good translations come out? I understand Mandarin but can't read Chinese. The script on the screen is the one that will help me decide whether to watch it or not.
The acting here is fine. That is not the issue. The issues are whether I want to watch such a drama. I've just come off a few historical drama and not sure I can stomach such a story. The spoilers for ep 13 specifically. This is some drama though. I saw ep 18 and even I am traumatised. I see a lot of blood and gore in historical dramas. I think what has blown my mind is or are the mind games here by the writer. Towards the viewer. It pushed my limits or maybe the writing and acting is that good that its beyond my tolerance.
I am on ep 33 now. It's actually way better than i expected. I've watched ep 40 by the way. Contract marriage? I actually continued this because the relationship progression is actually quite good.
Love like the galaxy? I've rewatched parts of it over 5x. I actually like Wu Lei's acting. I do know some people don't.
What is the ending? I am on ep 2 and the comments have been a bit worrying. I thought ep 1 and 2 were good and more slick than I anticipated.
I expected death, revenge, not romance but wasn't prepared to read what I read in the last 20 comments or so. So should I continue or find another drama? I am actually out of any Chinese historical dramas to watch. I finished The Legend of Zang Hai. Skipped Feud after starting and just watched the end.
I finished The Princess Royal while waiting for something new to start. I don't consider To Get Master a proper drama. I've fast forward so much that its not worth me remembering the plot. I have 7 more episodes of The Prisoner of beauty.
I literally have nothing on my plate. What else is good? I haven't gone near the Ancient relic drama.
It was definitely romantic love at least from SW's end. Her feelings aren't lustful though...it's love in it's…
I can accept a secret love. Their relationship was definitely supportive and they would both die for each other. But people in that time period- they can love but they can also restrain. That's why I was advocating for pure love vs mutual physical relationship. They are a family unit of 2 women and a child. Anyway I need to catch up on Good Boy and I will leave it for this weekend when the drama ends. I am more invested in how they will sort out Mi Rae's depression and suicidal thoughts- they will recurr, Mi- Ji's self esteem and Ho- Su's likely life changing medical disability. These are massive issues to be dealt with in 2 episodes.
Me? I was just putting my replies based on the comments below. SW could be in love but she could have NOT acted on it. It was just that the comments below had to make it a physical relationship. The odd thing is that this was like the 1970-1980s conservative S Korea and we have a bisexual and lesbian relationship comments pop up here. There. I put it out in the open. I have no issues with it in real life. I am talking in the context for this drama. For that time period in Korea. I also don't feel strongly enough to engage in a debate about whether it happened or not. It's not really important to me plot-wise. I was just countering the comments below about it to say not all relationships in the world needs to involve a physical relationship. Sang Wol was like a naive person putting someone on a pedestal. She was also quite self- sacrificing. We have seen enough of these in multiple dramas.
The actress has 23 and the ML has 40, not 36 and 18And you cannot watch dramas from China, Japan and Korea through…
Yes thanks. That was why I said 19 years old. She filmed that when she was very young. I have caught up to the current episodes. She looks about 14 years old if I am feeling generous.
@tpatricio93. I have zero issues about the ages of the real historical brides. I am East Asian myself by the way and from a very traditional family. One side of the family has traced its roots and a 500+ year family tree. I also have a very rare family name which links to the scholars etc. My maternal side even a family home even though it's been generations since the elders left.
The point is that its not the history. Its the fact that I've been watching 30+ year olds trying to play the 14-18 year old in the historical dramas. They look great, youthful and can act. However when you actually cast an actress who looks in that age bracket the contrast is massive. It looks like a baby or a young teenager playing grown up. Its jarring.
I have caught up. The budget is lower so I will accept it that the higher paid experienced actresses rejected the role. It's also silly. I can still watch it but I've fast forward quite a bit. At this point I've gone beyond the FL lead's looks to the male lead. I have been absolutely fascinated at the thick foundation on his face. His complexion is perfect now. I spent each scene marvellng at his face. I've stopped looking at the female lead. She reminds of a young Jung Ryeo Won.
I don't have issues with the stories. It's already silly and I am watching it. I don't care how old the character is. It's the 36 year old actor paired with a 19 year old actress. They were cast as the main leads. There are a gadzillion younger actors around. The Cdrama industry have cast enough young looking, scrawny actors and try to make them imposing or appear masculine. They do that in a lot of dramas.
No need to get upset. I was looking for behind the scenes gossip. It's a Monday. I am going back to real life and work.
Whats going to happen to Ho-su? This is not a rainbow and unicorn sort of drama. I am sort of dreading it.
By the way, can't people be besties without having any physical intimacy implications? Not everything has to be sexual love. People were sincere and honest back then.
I had a friend who had his medical school studies overseas paid by their uncle. Or an aunt who took in a young relative for life until she died. People who looked after each other even if they were not blood relations. This was a different generation ago
It might be true but not everything has to fall under the LBQGT label.
Honestly, I like Mirae and I’m not trying to dismiss her experience but would her case be considered sexual…
The law? Sexual assault.
Why? It only has to happen once.
I am more shocked that its a query. Attempted kiss when the victim says no and then presses charges? Assault. Criminal act. Workplace- HR, meeting, dismissal I hope.
In the workplace? Sexual assault is also not acceptable. Harassment is not a single incident.
In one of writers previous weekenders called wolgyesu tailor, ML did get married and we had a few eps of married…
Oops. I had to convert. 12 Celcius. Thats the high.
59 Fahrenheit is also the highest temp of the day. The low is 41 Fahrenheit.
100 Fahrenheit. Yeah its hot. We classify heatwave if we get more than 3 days of 95. We are unfortunate in that we get 105 regularly enough in summer. I live in Australia and kids still have surf training in your 95 heat and competition. I burn. Its so hot.
The reviews made me laugh so now I have to watch this. I am on pause at ep 35 The Princess Royal then another historical drama where 2 more characters will die.
Then 2 Kdramas where mental health are real issues. So yeah this drama with no plot but chemistry? I am so for it.
