LJS is emotionless in this drama, like as if he forgot how to act. He just stands, walks, poses here and there,…
I think we watched different Pinocchios then. In mine, LJS was dynamic and intense. That boardroom scene where he is just letting all of his repressed anger come out and directing it at In Ha... man.... Acting masterclass.
Really, this one? It's probably the second or third-best, in my book, but I am surprised you would say this about a drama that doesn't feature Jang Na Ra. :P
But you've got Park Shin Hye, though, so that's basically just as good, right? ;)
Gotta admit, when I revisited this page, my heart leaped. I miss this show. I've never re-watched a drama, but I might want to re-watch this one before any others.
So... I guess she's "too old" to play a lead, but I'd love to see her given the chance. I found myself very attracted her nameless character in Yong Pal.
So I ended up giving this an 8.5 Overall, this was an absolutely excellent drama. One of the best I have ever seen, and probably the most tense and unpredictable.
However, what eventually caused me to drop it from a 9 to an 8.5 was, oddly, what they ended up doing with Choi Byung Mo's character.
I can kind of understand it, from a writing perspective, and how they need established characters to fit certain roles (trying to avoid spoilers here), but I don't think they executed it well. Don't get me wrong: Byung Mo acted the crap out of it, and did a fantastic job. I love his unusual voice and face, and his dignified mannerisms are cool. I'd like to see him in more stuff. But they just didn't handle his character change well in the writing. It lacked believability. It's the only big writing misstep in an otherwise amazing drama, though. It's a shame that it was kind of a critical one, even though he's not a major character.
I have to shine a light on Joo Won and Kim Tae Hee's chemistry, though. SO DARN CUTE TOGETHER. I was really impressed with the way Tae Hee was able to go from "scary" to "adorable" so easily.
And of course, Joo Won is perfect. And will always be perfect. At everything.
16 episodes in and I cant believe how well-written this drama is. It's the most successfully "twisty" plot I have come across in a kdrama thus far. You never know what's going to happen next, and I love it.
While I could complain about some of the character choices, the plot is still so well-written that, even though I hate what some of the characters are doing, I am still on the edge of my seat wondering how everything is going to end up.
A really fascinating drama that is currently sitting at a 9. We'll see if the ending is strong enough to hold on to that rating.
I really wanted more scenes of Hwang Gyo Dong and Yoon Yoo Rae!
Oh yes! I found kindred spirits! I even made a Discussion topic about this very thing 2 days ago. Can't believe they didn't get a resolution to the romantic tension between them.
This drama is precious because it was good from the beginning to the end, the quality didn't fall after a few…
It's weird since it seems to have ended on a set up for a sequel series. That doesn't seem normal in kdrama. I'd like to see a "Season 2" for this one.
But you've got Park Shin Hye, though, so that's basically just as good, right? ;)

Also, my wife is a big Lee Pil Mo fan: would she enjoy this drama? Or is he sort of a bad guy here?

And no, she doesn't age.
