Loved his performance in Hyena (loved the drama, too). I'd love to watch him in something new.

Oh, that's just silly.

She should wear whatever the part calls for, unless the costume is unconvincing. If she looks like she's 35 and a flashback calls for the actor to wear a school uniform, that obviously fails--but not because she's an "ahjumma now".

That's what I was thinking, too. It's a win for older acting talent, too.

It must be more tiring and stressful, though, to work with a main lead who is still a bit of an amateur, though.

I should have said from the beginning what a great editorial this is--we're all a little more literate after reading and participating.

That's quite creative. Lovely. The Harry Potter universe, though, is so . . . British. Great Britain is almost another character in the novel.

That's true. But what if they did a Kdrama version of Pride and Prejudice set in the Goryeo era, rather than the more common Joseon?

Now that you mention it, I would absolutely love to watch a Kdrama adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Novel is in the public domain, so it can be done.

Gosh, this must be the 77th short Cdrama with the cheating husband with best friend/wife gets divorce and revenge plot. They're squeezing these out like Skittles.

Coming to Netflix US February 10.

"The World of the Married" is better in terms of story telling, but the cast in this one ("The Betrayal") is absolutely first rate. Anne Throngprasom is such a professional--lifts every production she's in. This is an actor I'll keep watching until one of us is dead.

Gee Sutthirak Subvijitra (Tul) isn't given much to do in the show, but he's very charismatic. I hope he gets bigger parts and more of them. He's an actor I'll be watching out for.

Lee Sun Kyun was hounded to death, but sure, let's blame him for being tortured by the media, by the corruption and incompetence of the police, and for the relentless, vicious attacks by his haters. All his fault. Sure.

And thirty five people tipped this comment, Yikes.

They did this to a well-loved and respected actor--they tortured him mentally, shredded his personal life, and put his future in a flaming dumpster, an extremely high price to pay for drug use, even if drug use was proven, which it was not. The amount of anguish this actor was suffering because the media, the police, the Knetz treated him like a chew toy was profound.

I want heads to roll. I want the people who ruined him for their own amusement to be punished. Big.

This is very similar to "One Spring Night", right down to the Rachel Yamagata sound-alike tune(s), but this is quite watchable in its own way. However, the characters are a bit plodding and unnecessarily melodramatic, making typical mountains out of molehills. Cdramas, amirite?

Well, if some content can't be aired in Mainland China, Taiwan will take care of lighting it up. This looks delightfully raunchy. Can't wait.

I watched it in 2016, only a few years after it finished. I think if I was to watch it for the first time now, I might feel slightly different about it. This is one of those shows you either love or hate, I think.

I seriously dig this ML, but the episodes are so short, I'll still be looking for the knobs on my computer by the time an episode is over. The whole show--all 16 episodes combined--add up to an hour. Yikes.

Hard pass. Hardest pass in the world.

Mao Tse Tung was responsible for the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976. During this Revolution, centuries of Chinese art and history disappeared, at least a half million people died (the number is anywhere from half a million to 2 million)--either because they were murdered by the State or because they starved to death, countless others were imprisoned or exiled, whose crime was that they were part of China's heritage, background and history. Even in China, the Cultural Revolution is known as the "10 year disaster". (During this period, my teacher was forbidden to teach his family's centuries old art, so he taught in secret, risking imprisonment or death. He was forced to work in a factory 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, making bricks. Nothing about my teacher's history is unique, either.)

This is a bad that vastly outweighs any good.

It would be one thing if this series attempted an historically accurate portrait of Mao, but you can bet a year's pay that this show is going to use an ocean of whitewash and propaganda to rehabilitate Mao's image.

I absolutely refuse to cooperate with their attempt.

Oh my God. A grown, single woman is actually dating a grown, single man? She had an actual date with him, in a car? She went to his house once or twice?

I know this is being written about because there are people who care about stuff like this (looking at you, you looney stans) but can we all stop for a second and think about how this kind of rancid reporting contributes to S, Korea's high suicide rate?

This show. I really want to watch it, but I've dropped it all three times I've tried. I've read that the FL stops being such a squish later in the drama, but before it can happen, I find the character just unbearable.
