Thank you. And wow the machinations have started. I am still very amused by episode 4 so am still in a good mood.

Do you guys have the ep 6 preview link on WeTV please?

Omg. I just went to check her drama list out. I dropped 2 of her dramas. Was disgusted with myself for finishing one. Then only enjoyed one drama.

I have dialed my expectation down by 50% now.

Getting mentally prepared for illogical idiocy. The source novel better be better than the scriptwriter.

The story introduction is pretty bad. Its not bad as in poorly done but bad that I am always disgusted by weaklings and self- centred friends.

I have watched enough historical dramas that appreciated loyalty over life. The grandfather proposed the alliance first and totally chickened out

I do not appreciate them showing the FL knowing the implications and still siding with her grandfather.

MAN I am not impressed with the Qiao family.

So now that is off my chest am going to continue. Poor Wei Shao.

Did Wang Hong Yi's agency negotiate his drama airtime well?

I think they did because no normal writer gives so much airtime to a 2ML.

Normally.

Watch that and be like me... am about to restart from ep 20. I fast fw and skipped ep 32-34. She looks pretty. I can continue to watch it if I am emotionally detached. I am now emotionally detached from this drama becausse the writing is so pedestrian. I am only watching it or continuing it because I happen to like the actors. I am happy seeing them and totally ignoring the plot.

The Prisoner of beauty is too dark and serious for me. I want something with no stakes. This has no serious stakes at hand. It makes for light watching after work and on the subway to work. Its turned into a web drama for me.

What do you guys think?

I wasn't waiting for this. The acting is definitely good. Its the story.... I am trying to work out if it will be a good script.

Goodness. Typo. No wonder I couldn't find this page.

Whoopee doodah and thank god it came. Was there any announcement?

And this He Hong Shan is everywhere playing evil characters. Is she a good guy in this drama?

I thought the actresses acted with her face. Then the green screen was the background. Then they transpose her face onto the original actress body. It her facial expressions that changed so it was from episode 1. They didn't use her body. So as she said her lines, emote or walked with the green screen it was to use those facial expressions.

Huh? Isn't Bom the girl?

Oh you mean Yoon Park? He can act- it must be because of the drama.

Did you use Google translate.

I thought the drama only aired because AI tech was used. So why are you talking about ep 24?

I stopped at ep 20. Which episodes should I watch for Prince Rui. Thank you

Man. Did you guys feel it? The chemistry in the last scene? Ahn Jae Wook and Uhm Ji Won are both so good.

I am usually cursing by ep 30 of any KBS2 weekend drama but things are just warming up.

I am actually watching The Haunted Palace, Serendipity, and 2 other dramas but for a quiet mundane moment these 2 experienced actors really generate screen tension. How gratifying. I am looking forward to the coming weeks. I didn't even know I would like him having a hard time but I am enjoying the angst.

Se Ri's parents are a POS. I wish we could disown drama parents because I know it will be lovey dovey in ep 50 but her parents are a POS.

Se Ri is such a pampered Princess that I'm not fully onboard with this romance. However Bom is even worse. Only the 2nd and 3rd brothers girlfriends have some backbone. The other 2 princesses don't look as if they can look after their men.

Just a comment. If the writer is going to throw around Harvard PhD like they are on sale. It cheapens it by making the lead lose his 1st year Professor job by having a relationship with his graduate student. It kinda sits wrongly with me because there are viewers who actually value professional reputation. KDramas just tramples all over them.

But but but... this weekend drama is not really abrasive by KBS2 drama standards.

Yes. In the comments below.

Its crazy.

Imagine being Jung Jun Won. Experienced. Great actor. Good voice. 180cm tall good height. Good skin, looks fantastc as a 35 year old- time this was filmed.

Imagine Ku Do Won. 5th year resident. Who manages to have great hair, good sense of humour, hard working ethics, supportive, great human, managed to maintain a good physique, great bedside manner.

Then some shallow twit thinks they want a perfect sculpture who has to be a great actor... and to have mimimal age gap as Ku Do Won.

Whether its Jung Jun Won or Ku Do Won, our Dr Ku Do Won is perfect as he is on our screen.

Whether is a real life 8 year gap romance. Or the drama 5 year gap romance Ku Do Won is still the man.

Has that person even been to Korea or knows Korean friends? Jung Jun Won is a very good looking Korean male.

Is he playing a model in a set in the fashion world drama? No. He is the chief resident of a big city hospital. Are students admitted to medical school based on their perfect looks and heights? No.


Is Ku Do Won qualified to be the senior? Yes he is.

I need to have more discipline. I have rewound the family living room scene, the car scene and the outpatient clinic scene so many times I've lost track of the episode.

I need to rewatch ep 9 and 10 again.

No wonder people say romance at work is distracting. I am distracted and its not even a real show. Did anyone work this week? Everyone is too busy socialising.

Yup. And I am fine with it as well.

What I don't like are true horror dramas where the ghosts do really bad stuff. I can't recall a specific one. Maybe the Park Hyun Sik zombie drama? The bad ones there were not nice. I am not in the mood for those sort of dramas.

I remembered that when the couples needed to do a kiss scene in HP; they did good ones except for the one in S1. So I guess there must be a reason. Its not as if both actors are known to NOT do kissing scenes.

I didn't get that upset of the back view. I got more upset that the angle or the filming showed that it was fake- the way the heads were angled- vs the PD deciding not to show it. You know how some dramas have kissing being filmed but it didn't air in the final cut? That didn't feel like a real kiss was being filmed.

Is this that sort of drama? No.

And why are you askng that?
