Wow so he's acted now with Yaya in 6 lakorns as the main leads together, in a film together as main leads and in 3 dramas as support roles together!! Love that they keep working together, shipper heaven :)
APPLAUDS to the more than excellent usage of background music!!
...especially the intriguing instrumentals during mysterious moments, in particular during the Sharon Tailor shop moments, but also during other mysterious instances. Not only are the instrumentals amazing in themselves, but their TIMING and usage are REALLY REALLY REALLY amazing and truly enhance and sometimes even MAKE the scene! It's VERY rare to see music used in such a beautiful, spectacular and smart way!
Now there's like 1 song of the non-instrumentals that sounds mediocre and the other one is great but not amazing but if they keep adding more non-instrumentals/ OSTs with lyrics later on (which dramas usually do), and if they follow the quality of the instrumentals and even only improve just abit from the great sung OST; this has the potential to have one of the greatest drama OSTs ever!
I prefer Kim Rae Won with Seo Ji Hye :/ ... Sharon :(
I like the main pairing just fine but could've easily also liked Seo Ji Hye with Kim Rae Won.
In my opinion Seo Ji Hye is outshining EVERYONE here, even Kim Rae Won, and looking at her resume she clearly deserves more not just lead roles but MAIN lead roles; but here she is really suited as the villain and I like Shin Se Kyung as the Lead with Kim Rae Won.
...Maybe after this drama Seo Ji Hye can start to take on more main lead roles, she is a talented star who deserves better than she usually gets!
I don't agree, actually for me is the opposite.Unfortunately some roles or scripts penalize the actor/actress,…
I'll take her mostly mediocre acting with ALOT of Charm over any mediocre actors acting (which is most of asian actors) who have no charm/likaability factor so there's that.
If she improves she has the potential to join my bias list

In my opinion Shin Se Kyung's acting ability VARIES ....ALOT. In general she is mediocre, but she can sometimes be great and other times somewhat bad to really bad, aka. ep 2 of BlackKnight she expressed emotions but didnt really FEEL the underlying emotions so it came across as shallow/hollow and the crying scene then was horrible (but it was one of those cheesy overdramatic screaming out loud crying that imo even good acting can't save); basically the opposite of what everyone is saying that she remains cold expressionless, I think she EXPRESSES but without feeling the underlying feelings. But then she was later on great, even during sad scenes. She is FAR from the "Worst actor ever" label that people love to throw at her! She CAN act well, and I've seen worse; if only she was CONSISENT in her acting ability like she was more in ep3 & 4. Or maybe if she improved her acting ability so much that even her during her lower acting ability moments she'd be really good!
Beside her mediocre acting with great potential for much better AND much worse acting; she also has alot of charm. Not just looks, but she has a great delicate, vulnerable melancholic charm which many mediocre actors lack. If she could could consintely pull off the better acting she's capble of, combine this with her charm:she'd be fantastic!
Basically not horrible (except for occasional moments) but if she improves she could be amazing

I totally agree that bad scripts are often blamed on actors when in reality it's the writer's (and sometimes the director's) fault.
In fact, I've personally experinced this seeming change in "acting ability/likaability": Kim Go Eun's character was the 1 bright spot in the boring Cheese In The Trap and then she went on acting as Euntak in Goblin, a badly written fake cutesy character. Had I not seen KGE's true acting ability in CheeseInTheTrap I would've thought she was a crappy actress!! But that's not the case at all, NO actor can save the crappy Euntak role; actually she was in fact so good/in character during Goblin time that it took me to watch her in interviews as herself & acting clips from her other works to remeber that in fact Kim Go Eun herself is amazing and not annoying like Euntak lol (that's how convincing she was!).
My point: Bad writing can really BRAINWASH you into thinking the actor is crappy/can't act, (even actors you like)!
TO THOSE WHO DROPPED THIS AT EP 1: Please watch a couple of eps further, it got better. Plot less confusing too.
I was skeptical at 1st about KRW & SSK chemistry, it seemed lacking but they surprised me in ep 3 (&4) onward, they actually do have chemistry! Looking forward to the next eps!
Okay, can people PLEASE STOP COMPARING THIS To Goblin!? Goblin was popular yes (can't say it was good, rated it a 6.5) People act like Goblin is the only fantasy timetravel/reincarnation drama; forgetting/ignoring the fact that timetravel/reincarnation is a major almost overused kdrama ploy!
This drama can stand on its own two feet please and thank you!
As if a modern setting can't include fantasy... Goblin, Secret Garden, Circle, Duel.....Idiot comment
lol! My speculation is maybe the fantasy element comes into play in the "tries every method to convince him to join her show" means she'll use supernatural abilities?? Just some spec
The women in this drama though!! The female lead was great, but the rest of them where complete idiotic psychos that would fight for an evil playboy/rapist/killer character as if he was the greatest catch ever, even when he'd gladly kill them all and just use them as he pleased! And "fighting for him" meant forcing themselves on him too, betraying everyone else, poisoning others, killing babies etc... !! Noone had an understanding of love or kindness they all just forced themselves on someone 24/7!
