This guy is KimuTaku caliber, idk why he decide to do more in Hong Kong than in Japan.
I've never heard him act in Japanese, I've only watched his Mandarin-language films, (because he's Taiwanese as well as Japanese, as we know.) I'm going to see if I can find some of his Japanese-language dramas.
House of Flying Daggers needs to be on this list somewhere (which means more people need to see it!) It might be my favorite Mandarin-language film. Thanks for the article - I've got a lot of catching up to do!
Yay! Someone else enjoying this! :D People are extra harsh on this drama for some reason...I don't get it really.…
I think people get bored too quickly right now, and don't have the patience to stick with a story that takes more than a few episodes to unfold. Also, I love romance - I really do - but for some folks on here if you don't have certain kinds of romantic scenes happening within the first ten episodes they're publicly declaring that they're dropping it for "lack of chemistry." I mean, I'm excited for the leads to get together too, but there's other stuff going on within the drama right now, and I'm liking seeing it come together so far.
I'm really liking this so far! I love the mystery element and the mystery-solving "gadgets", per se, which also seem to be at least somewhat historically accurate (the tabletop that the CP secretly opened was just cool). I'm not sure what folks are complaining about - the drama is progressing nicely, the acting and writing are interesting but not telegraphing things too quickly or easily, and the romance is steadily moving ahead.
This was so terrible. ML not hot, FL not hot, zero spice. On top of that, it was one of those dramas that's having…
I mean, you're entitled to your opinion, (and I happen to think that the ML is gorgeous), but does a leading character have to be "hot" in order for you to like the drama?
To quote you, "I am not Korean, and I am not member of any fan club. The fact, that you like it or not, is that…
How do you think that you know more than me? Are you in my head? Do you watch what I'm watching? Are you assuming that none of the rest of us have any Korean friends? "But you, judging me without even knowing me, that is saying a lot about you. " YEP. Sounds like what you've been doing all along. Good grief. Some of us have been watching dramas for years and years now. Some of us have grown up with Korean-American friends. Some of us (ME, in fact) have gone to graduate school with folks from Korea. Some of us have read extensively about Korea and its culture and its history etc etc etc. But you know what, I don't spout off on here about how much I know and think that I know so much more than anyone else on here about some situation that is mostly hearsay anyway. Because I don't know about Seung Gi's personal life. We're not in Seung Gi's orbit...and in fact, the more you try to convince everyone that you're "in the know" because you watch his reality shows it starts to makes you sound a little bit like a fan with an unhealthy parasocial attachment...
You don't know me from Adam. You have no clue what you're talking about if you think that all 330 MILLION Americans think and act the way that you so self-righteously claim that we do. If you had any clue, you would actually try to grasp that we have a huge country and a hell of a lot of a nuance....MEANING, we don't all think or act or talk or look or write the same. And - news flash - a lot of people outside of our country see our news and entertainment systems and think that they speak for all 330 million of us. Well, they most certainly do not. Also, I never said that we need to be admired, in fact I said that I wasn't patriotic but you went too far. You said that I went to insults right away but you said that no one likes or respects Americans and that we're all Karens and then you listed a bunch of reasons why France is supposedly better than the US. (I know other French folks who would say a lot different than you about many of those things but hey, I can actually see nuance in whole countries that consist of millions of people!) Some of us in this country have been fighting for the very things that you claim that France has gotten figured out (like by the way, France only legalized gay marriage two whole years before the US did and you also have a lot of racial and religious issues even if you're acting like you don't - Marine Le Pen, anyone?)
But what bugs me much more than all of this is you continuing to act like you can speak for Koreans and what they're thinking and feeling because you've read some articles and watched some dramas. Hey, maybe you've even watched some of Seung Gi's interviews and reality shows. But. you're. not. Korean. You're not Korean, you're French. So please stop acting like you know so much more than the rest of us about this or any other issue.
(Oh, and btw, I couldn't care less that you went to law school in the UK.....also Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty and is now in prison, so they aren't allegations anymore - they were proven to be true in our courts and he's going to rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life, thank goodness.)
