I think it's both a prequel and a spin off. Prequel because the time setting was definitely earlier than GGS1.…
GGS was the main show, semantically it cannot be a "spin-off". Spin-off means derivation/branching works of already existing work. GGS1 cannot be a spin-off to this one because this is the derivative work, the branching show. If anything, this is a spin-off if it's not a direct continuation.
She doesn’t need Hollywood. She’s famous in China.
Easy to cast off judgement behind a keyboard while in another country. The top celebs in China are expected to speak out against dissent unless they wanna get punished by the public themselves. They don't have a choice.
I SERIOUSLY hope they'll focus more on the Shamanism and mysticism part in this show. So many similar shows have completely missed the mark by neglecting those elements and focusing more on the investigative parts (a recent example would be Sell Your Haunted House). Loads of international viewers are highly interested in those elements and it'd be fascinating to watch them. And I really really hope this is a dark, mature show rather than being aimed at teen audiences. These two have the acting chops to carry out a show like that.
I agree, fanservice can be fun when it's more natural and you can tell the actors are friends who genuinely get…
EXACTLY! No other genre does this. You never see actors and actresses from straight romances trying to go around parading as a couple to raise fan excitement. It only happens in BLs. IDK where this originated from, it's such a problematic thing and super uncomfortable to watch as well. For e.g I recently watched an interview with the main couple of HIStory4 and it was so awkward and uncomfortable to watch. Esp when they played that game where they eat two ends of a candy together (I forgot what it's called LOL!).
We need more unique Kdramas like this and Be Melodramatic in Kdrama world with eccentric, idiosyncratic characters, strong female characterisation and butterfly inducing romances.
I still don't understand what message they were trying to send through Jae Hoon and Ha Yoon's terrible relationship.…
He ends up together with her because this drama's about life and life just works out that way sometimes. Just take real world parallelism, most cases of domestic abuse whether physical or emotional are never reported and most of the couples never part ways. In fact on the contrary, it'd have felt out of place for him to leave her to be with Han Joo if you ask me.
It's 2021 and I'm still yearning for this drama. Time to re-watch.
Also can we have a drama starring Lee Joobin (Lee So Min)-Kim Myungjoon (Lee Min Joon) already?? They were so adorable in this, one of the highlights for me. Also more Jeon Yeo Bin-Son Seok Koo please.
Mess of a story.
Frustratingly sluggish.
Skip please. Not even worth a skim.
