I'm loving all the babies raging that Uk and Buyeon are falling in love before they know she's Naksu after those people all claimed the drama would resolve the amnesia plot immediately lmao. Like, it was obvious from THE FIRST EPISODE that what the Hong sisters are going for in this season is the idea of fated lovers ending up together even when they can't recognise each other and the whole world is conspiring to keep them apart. OF COURSE they're gonna confirm each other's feelings before they confirm Buyeon's real identity because their love is the more important of the two. In other words, they're not gonna reveal Buyeon's identity as Naksu until Uk chooses Buyeon over Naksu, sorry.
Also the amnesia device is a vehicle for Uk's angst and resistance to the pull of true love, which is, again, pretty much a staple romantic trope in this kind of story.
I'm not even gonna address all the nonsense about him cheating on a dead woman because that's crazy talk.
So. This is my personal opinion about Jang UK’s and Yeong/Buyeon’s story line. I would’ve liked to see Jang…
I think it's pretty obvious they're setting up Uk and Buyeon/Naksu's relationship BEFORE revealing her identity. So we'll probably see some of what you're talking about. The issue is that this season is only 10 episodes long and there's politics and stuff to cover, so they'll have to rush through the romantic storyline.
I liked yunok in part 1. She was a woman of dignity and always knew to respect people and boundaries. Today she…
I also found her intervention really annoying (and yes, they made her that way for the plot; although I never liked her in S1, she was more respectful of Uk's boundaries) and can't wait to see her put in her place, but I can also see why she would be more hostile to Buyeon than to Mudeok. After all, Uk and Mudeok liked each other first, so she felt like an intruder in their relationship, but from her perspective Buyeon is a random hanger-on and she 'deserves' Uk more because she's liked him longer. (She almost says this word for word.)
A very immature contribution to today's episode and I hope she won't take up too much screen time with this nonsense.
Man, I just want Buyeon and Uk to have more scenes together because they're hilarious. But it looks like the pace is ramping up and episode 4 will be all about hunting for a fake Naksu, Buyeon being in danger (of getting body-harvested by the insane queen?) and Uk playing politics and thinking about his dead lover. I hope they'll fit in some relationship development for our leads in between all that.
She could have chosen to say anything else and insted she went "it seems we have liked each others for a long…
I'm pretty sure that line is misleading and she didn't remember her identity as Naksu. She must have remembered *something*, but without additional information she misinterpreted it. The fact she was a fearsome soul-shifting assassin in a previous life, survived a near-death experience in secret and her identity is a lie constructed by Lady Jin is not an obvious leap to make.
Haemi has got to be a massive drag on company productivity at this point. All she does all day long is bully one subordinate, sexually harass another and eavesdrop on private conversations. She's absolutely not in the office to work.
If TS Retail was run like a real company and not like a feudal castle where everything is based on family ties and nepotism, she would have been fired a long time ago.
Only 2 episodes are finished but the Chemistry between main lead is insane and fresh . I didn’t feel this way…
Yeah, I enjoyed a lot of stuff in S1, but the romance itself didn't really move me. But in S2 it's much more thrilling IMO. The main leads' interactions are charged with more tension now.
The trailer is right up my alley, but when I'm watching a depressing quasi-infidelity melo I NEED my happy ending. I'll do my best to hold out until the end so I can decide if I should watch this after I know how it ends...
I never quite understand why the blurbs for Korean dramas waste words on describing how handsome (or pretty) the…
It's because the actual attractiveness of Korean actors is completely divorced from the appearance of the characters they're meant to be portraying. Very often you see the opposite phenomenon as well, where an obviously attractive actor (or more often actress) is treated as average-looking or ugly by the story/other characters. Kim Seulgi has been cast as an 'ugly' character multiple times despite being gorgeous, and even Moon Gayoung herself starred in that romcom where she was supposed to be ugly without makeup. Like get real.
I think it's ridiculous and actively harmful to put beautiful women on screen and call them ugly, but kdramas do it all the time. They also love to make being handsome the defining characteristic of a male character when the actor is not any more handsome than all the other hot men in the drama. (It happens with female characters as well, of course; the SFL is often meant to be sexy and beautiful while the FL is meant to be an ugly duckling when in reality both actresses are extremely attractive.)
Anyway, all this is to say that it's normal in kdramaland for the drama to tell you how hot a character is supposed to be. And you have to go with it even if it's blatantly not true.
I’m a big fan of the webtoon, but unfortunately the casting has really shaken my confidence in the drama adaptation… The protagonists are supposed to be like 20 years old, but both actors are almost ten years older than their respective characters. And also they just don’t look university-aged at all? The casting approach should have been completely different from the start.

Yes, he clearly does lol. You're writing fanfiction in your head.

Wang Yang is in it? I'm EVEN MORE IN. This guy is such a good actor. Especially compelling in morally ambiguous/villainous roles.
