Why do directors like to pair ML who can act with FL that cannot?
Their agents try hard to set these things up, because it makes them look better than they are, it's good for their resumé. The thought is that if a proper actor is willing to work with them, they must be considered okay. Personally, I thought she wasn't bad in My ID, and that was opposite Cha Eun-woo(den)
Reborn Rich looked a lot like Again My Life, but it's much better imo, I'm addicted to it. Is Three Bold Siblings any good? 21% sounds good, but that time slot usually has a captive audience of 30%. Never started Queen's Umbrella, Netflix trailer looked a bit mental, maybe I'll watch - brief synopsis in this article actually sounds a lot better than I imagined.
why is every male characters so annoying in this drama? ML is so immature (plus i'm really not a fan of his acting…
Agree, I was dumbfounded when NK imposter went out clubbing, drawing attention to himself and potentially blowing his cover. Then the loud conversations he and his wife have in SK dialect when they think they're behind closed doors - they're going to get caught at this rate, I guess it's what happens next that matters!
Is this drama will be delayed due to FIFA World Cup next week? I hope not, I can't stand without seeing Haneul…
I hope so too, not that I don't love the World Cup, but K-dramas are the perfect tonic for any disappointments on the football pitch, I can get past anything when I have new episodes to watch!
So far I'm really enjoying the show, so happy to watch Ha Ji-won every week. But there are a few jarring factors I have to push past in each episode... Halmeoni looks a little too sprightly for a sick 92 year old.... and when I see so many of Son Ye-jin's colleagues from CLOY, it feels like she missed the party - I keep imagining how she'd have played it whilst watching my beloved Ji-won. Anyway, it's fully warmed up nicely now after 6 episodes, fully enjoying every week. Sung Dong-il's character is fascinating - caring with a ruthless streak, a bit like a warm hearted fixer. Must also mention Hwang Woo-seul Hye, in every single drama she's in, she has an indomitable charm that uplifts every scene in which she appears, such a delight.
ML + FL scenes 80% ML + SFL scrnes 15% ML + Grand Ma's scenes 5%What's the point making all the fake grand son,…
Agree, upvoted. I'm a total HJW fan so won't hear of it... but the same thoughts crossed my mind - but then I also realised the awkwardness could have been deliberate, just great acting by KHN, the situations so far all call for concealed awkwardness, reticence and fumblings. It's getting better.
An interesting story told from the perspective of an ordinary girl, reflective of her humble position in the world and how she got there. It's good, but a little spoilt by the description and title... it's one of those movies where the producers want to sell it, but then... how to describe it without spoiling it? I watched on Amazon and started enjoying it only after the spoilers had dropped.
how do you watch this? I have no idea. how do you watch this dramas? there's no play button on it. can anybody…
It's not officially released for us foreigners yet. The film's been previewed around the world in Cannes and other film festivals - I saw it at the London Korean Film Festival. It will probably be available to stream on one of the popular providers in a few months. If you get the chance I think you'll get the best experience at a movie theatre, Google it and something will come up.
Am I the only one who loved it just the way it was? Great film, I'll watch again when I get the chance. Marvellous, many special moments, Koreeda's known for juxtapositions and contrasts - and letting the actors do their thing off script, which makes those moments all the more impressive. Some nice music too that transformed the mood in the scenes where it was used. And captivating cinematography - a beautiful view from a shabby window.
What on earth is the music thriller genre? Any other titles from that genre to give me a clue?
