At eps17 and just want to yank the B&%h witch braid, burn it and then feed her to hungry pigs. Characters feel stretched to direction of drama. What is the direction? We get it evil creeps into those spaces where we have weakness - got it. Damn - whats next? Leads have electric chemistry sadly since they cannot move ahead due to awkward casting of a 15 yr against a 30 yr in light of all the "star" screw-ups(no pun intended). Do I finish?
Just marathon this based off a MDL'er comments - This drama is AWESOME as it relates to actors, chemistry, well direction & writing. Drama is about living and being alive, a must watch! Great article, thanks!
Interesting article - usage of two words that invoke strong feelings & imagery: "doormat & pathetic." Many drama writers utilize both and many more feelings & imagery to engage the viewership thus increasing ad $$. Comments that attack the actor for writers direction of using any of the above mentioned words steers you away from real issue at hand, "the actor who is either a BAD FIT for role, POOR/INEXPERIENCED skills, and or lack of chemistry with role and other actors." Sadly, several of the above mentioned dramas contain many actors who are stretched to their acting limits making the drama, story and actor wallow - NOW that's drama!
This show is like wacky slow train move along tracks. Lots of comments below however this drama strikes a chord with me as the adults with kids are facing realistic situations when dealing with loss. From death or divorce/betrayal, that's real. The silliness added is what makes it drama - the side players are entertaining - interfering family over reaching yet somehow I understand them, also. Most aggravating point - 50eps flight and hoping they will land/end well enough to payoff my time investment. Oh well, its no-brained and stress-free.
Only up to eps13 and the harem is worst than the battlefield. Unfortunately, things have not changed all that much for either. Pawns are pawns, ruling class remains on sidelines Also watching I AM Legend, not a wise choice if looking for less destructive females and some relief. Saving grace is BingBing's attire and poise is stunning. History is whoever gets to write the story - Empress, BingBing Style.
A long story that just got more frustrating as you watch. YX and YQ have no chemistry. Found him to be a manipulator & abusive for the start - way too much charisma covering all his poo! Bottom-line he got the empress he deserves, QZ needed YX to balance. Ok, just jumped to ep50 per fellow ajumma. Ending was righteous, Wallace is the man...
Started this not realizing its back to the 50eps makjang. The setting, people and situations are similar to Ledgendary Witches - LW was a pure let down. Loving the real life adult dilemmas -portrayal of kids, divorce, dating and family balancing game. Will give some time, just seeing them sitting in the house traditional house, screams LW. The bakery - LW... Better stop for now, before anymore bias sets in.
@ambitious_96: Thanks for stirring the pot on dramas - well done! So many dramas that are just ... Thanks and I wish we can continue this discussion without too much drama.
So far eps7 this drama is depicting adult women very relate-able to any woman 40+. Yes, fellow MDL'er, we all age. Perfect no, could see a younger viewer could not relate. JDrama once again tackling a difficult & socially taboo storyline.
Short - yet meaningful gender-bender, historical, dream fantasy, timeless romance drama. Give a try - not heavy, and move along swiftly. BTW - on Netflix (8eps)
Just finished ep12 and DANG its nonsensical story-line just pushed me to ON=HOLD status. How silly can these leads get for adults? Originally,believed this had potential, now just stupid. Watch at your own risk eps12 will just piss you off.
hello every1..where can i find the novel in english?
The book link if far more detailed of their smoldering love for each other, something the drama lightly touches upon for the G rating. Oddly the mental connection is important & detailed on camera however the book eloquently illustrates the physical connection from day 1 is off the scales for both and equally important. Again, something the drama acknowledges yet fails to demonstrate on camera. A nice present for all, would be WH exploring his sensual side. Read the Chapters - you will see what we mean!
