Okay, I know for some this going to be the biggest eye roll but I just made the most significant discovery (well in my books, haha).
KWAK SHI YANG, I've been watching this drama since day one and I couldn't help but feel like I've seen his face somewhere but the feeling wasn't too prominent as it was the eye and lips that looked familiar (haha, I know I know, stay with me here) as he tends to act with them act a lot. His character depends on a lot of facial expressions. So despite the familiarity, it just never came to me until today.
So if you are quite familiar with historical dramas sometimes you don't even recognise familiar actors because of their character visuals in terms of dialogue, attire, etc. So I took a looked at his profile to see what other dramas he had done because he really has great visuals and discovered that he had done 'Lovers of the Red Sky'. He played as one of the mains. Even then my brain did not budge. I had to look at THE PHOTOS to recognise this man. The shock, the realisation, and the goosebumps I felt were unworldly. Kwak Shi Yang had played Grand Prince Ju Hyang. How could I have not recognised him but you could see the difference between that character and his current character.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED HIM in 'Lovers of the Red Sky' he did such an exceptional job at portraying his character. I watched this man in awe every episode. Despite the character being a villain the visual this man gave, WOW! Mastery at its prime. He needs more main roles, doesn't matter the genre or character, he'll work ANYTHING!
Ugh, I really wanted to like this show...The "reveal" was obvious since 3 episodes ago so whatever suspen they…
I agree with your sentiments but I do think that the shows structure was meant to be like that from the start. The title said it all, haha. I agree that this show is dragging quite a bit but series like this one tend to follow that kind of 'trope'. Very often these kinds of show depend a lot on fillers for more content. The series would have done a lot better if it was 12eps instead of sixteen if the route of the show remained as is but if they wanted to make the show 16 eps, they should have kept the culprit alive, have a few more murders happen, really enhance the fantasy and thriller side of the story. I feel like that part of the story is quite weak, so it needed more depth.
Despite that, I still think that the show is worth the watch and weekly wait. The plot is quite unique and a refreshing view of mysteries and its quite fun. It has a substantial amount of suspense, its got some charms, so not a bad one in my books.
Once again this week's episodes, are top class, haha. I think that this week's episodes have proved that people use words loosely without taking into consideration how people will actually decipher them. As much as we as humans would like to not give others much thought, sometimes it's unavoidable. Consistently telling someone something that their not can make them believe those words and can hinder them in many ways. Discrimination is something that has been around for centuries and has shown little progress and for someone like Young-Woo who is willing to take that risk is quite admirable and hope that some people can learn from her. I am looking to her character development which we actually see a little of per episode, so I'm excited.
Next week seems like it is going to be quite the ride, haha.
I binge-watched the first two episodes last week after my exam and it's been a week since then and I finally managed to spare five minutes to write this.
Nothing else I can say about this show other than that I loved it. It reminds me of the western show 'Atypical'. Although they both touch on the stereotype of autism it's still quite insightful.
The story is written from a female perspective who has autism and is an aspiring attorney, with a fantastic actor who is portraying this character so there is a lot to look forward to it. Slice of life dramas can be watched at any time with anyone and tends to be healing and are just needed sometimes. There are a lot of familiar faces, making the show more enjoyable.
Okay chingu's, I have finished my exams for the week, binge-watched the first 2 episodes, had a good night's sleep, have gathered my thoughts so let's go!
AS EXPECTED, haha, the show is a hit on my list. Its really nice seeing familiar faces like Kang Mi Na (absolutely loved her in 'Hotel del Luna'), Seo In-guk once again playing our misunderstood ML with class, i mean what's not to like!haha
My only concern is the relationship between the ML nad the FL. It didn't really make sense because the FL is supposed to far younger which it was already established in ep2 but i think that they should have picked a younger actress for this role. Don't get me wrong i absolutely love Oh Yeon Seo, exceptional atress.I just think that the characters image didn't suit her so well so she looked kinda stiff and it also doesn't corolate with there storyline because she looks as old as the ML.
Anyway with all that being said, I'm excited to share this journey with you guys for the next 2 months!
Having Seo In Guk play his younger self is a weird choice, I mean age gaps do not bother me (especially between…
I think that they should have chosen a younger female lead in this case because she looks to be the same age as the ML and so it doesn't really make sense. If they didn't want to change the actress they should have made them the same age and used a younger actor for the ML younger self.
