Thiwthit didn't convince me as an actor. He was just as you wrote.

They weren't stepbrothers, they just grew up together... in one house for a while.

Of course.
I'm not concerned about her, only myself. I don't consider what is or isn't painful for her, I only care about my own well-being and express my opinion freely, not to offend anyone. I wrote what she reminds me of.
I'm not arguing with your opinion and I don't want to convince anyone of my point. That's all.
Best regards.

To me - it doesn't matter whether the director told her to act like this or she came up with it herself. I remember her like that and I don't want more now... maybe someday...
Generally speaking, whether we like it or not, everyone is responsible for their own performance. It's inevitable. You accept a role and agree to play it. Using the director as an excuse is a waste of time.

She really alienated me in Snowdrop, and her crying wasn't believable to me because it was so exaggerated. Years later, I only remember her crying and snotty and her nose was running.

I'm glad I managed to make you laugh. I also checked Yang Shu Yu - yeah..
I know what you're talking about. There is no passion or tenderness in such kisses and that is why they look fake.
Greetings.

"Yang enlisted at the 27th Division located in Hwacheon, Gangwon Province at 2 p.m. KST " - the person who wrote this in the description was probably the only one who was interested in the time at which this actor enlisted in the army. :)

I haven't watched this series yet.. but if you see even 1 episode of Road Home, that deep low voice is definitely his own.

Since the topic of gossip has appeared here below, in my opinion is that:

as for celebrity controversies - in general - it doesn't matter if it's true or not, if it's not a crime and you're pulling such things out of his/her private! life and not his/her professional life to dig up and destroy famous person, including a beautiful, handsome, charismatic, well-built and talented actor - ALWAYS it is jealousy or envy regarding HIS looks or fame/power. And also because "he's not mine" everything that's worst is activated in those jealous people..

I'm waiting for the moment when all those famous people who are being thrown mud at, will finally stop apologizing for being human too.

Here where I live, we follow the principle that "only the guilty apologize" so if you're okay, don't apologize because you have nothing to apologize for.. and it is logical.

I know that the West and the East are two different poles, but it's about humanity..

1. It's not that you got married for the wrong reasons, it's that you're stuck in it... that's how I would put it.

2. I know that something good can come out also of this or worse situation, because you have to admit that it's a catalyst for change.
Greetings.

I read an opinion on google.com that literally reflects what I think about this series and I will allow myself to quote it here. I hope the author will forgive me for this quote but I couldn't contact her and her description is spot on for me.

I was so looking forward to a romance starring Ju Ji Hoon and Jung Yu Mi. Both are veteran actors with strong filmographies, mostly in the drama genre, and the trailers were very promising.

The series covers an almost 2 decade on and off relationship of the two Ji Wons that started in high school against the backdrop of warring families. The initial episodes shift between the past and present, interspersing the blossoming romance between the teenage Ji Wons with the conflicting feelings that confront the adult Ji Wons as they meet again decades later. The teenage romance is mostly charming and the chemistry between the teen leads sweet. Unfortunately, the good things stop there. As we progress into the changing feelings and romance of the now older couple, it seems that we're watching a teen drama with adult actors. It's unbelievable that adults are made to behave like coy children, and the romance feels forced and the chemistry nonexistent. After a long break and rediscovery of each other, it would be natural to expect some passion, albeit within the Kdrama limits of skinship. But they just hold hands and give shy looks at each other. In between, the female Ji Won keeps hitting the male Ji Won, apparently because it's charming to do so. The story develops in a predictable fashion, typically in the last episode struggling to tie up every possible loose thread to its boring end.

The casting choices are surprising, to say the least. It's difficult to imagine Ju Ji Hoon as 36 since he has a mature face. His mother is played by a 50 yr old, while Jung Yu Mi's (41) grandfather is played by a 65 yr old actor, and the rival male love interest is only 24 and pretty much looks that. Jung Yu Mi looks like his aunt. Whether this is ageism in KDrama or strange casting is difficult to understand, but the whole setup looks weird.

I also have to mention this: the costume department should be sued. Jung Yu Mi looks nice even in the restaurant reality shows she's been in. But here she's made to wear the ugliest, frumpiest clothes and is in sweats almost through the series. In the wedding photoshoot scene where Ju Ji Hoon gasps when he sees her, I swear it had to be because he was shocked at how and where such a terrible sack-dress could be found. Seriously, I haven't seen an uglier and more ill-fitting wedding dress on TV.

All in all, the series had potential but ended up being very disappointing due to a boring script, unattractive visuals and strange casting. I'm looking forward to seeing the leads in better dramas."

Thank you.

He is beautiful and it's nice to look at his silhouette. As a man - he is just blossoming.
Now I am checking what kind of actor he is.

The love story of this man and his wife it beats - for me - all the Asian dramas I've watched and I've watched over 500 of them. Adapting their love stories from reality to film/drama is an amazing subject, whoever takes it on and doesn't mess it up - it's like winning the grand prize, such is the potential. Life writes the best stories!

I actually liked that FL quickly realized that there was no point in being angry at her husband mistress. After all, the mistress only showed the true face of FL's husband and spared her the next years of being in a dead relationship (a shell). From the whole mess, only good things came out for FL and she should be grateful to the mistress for this.. I think that this is the correct attitude of every valuable woman, even if she is previously trampled by her husband.

P.S. I will go even further in my considerations: I believe that if a wife and a mistress hate each other – only the man wins.

The same - what you wrote about FL - yes she is a bit stiff but the worst thing is flaunting her body on which you can learn the skeletal system like on a skeleton (e.g. her jogging outfit in episode 3), it is unpleasant to watch, it's like an advertisement for anorexia.
In my eyes it took away all FL's charm.

It doesn't work..

To you and all the others who think the same way after reading my comment:
I don't see the entire FL acting as bad - no.
However - for me - her acting (not written role!) is a bit weaker in the moments I wrote about above than ML's acting in its entirety .
Apparently our perceptions is differ and that's ok too. Best regards.

IMO it's a beautiful fairy tale about a lovely princess on the run with a painful past and a handsome, persistent prince who travels "mountains and forests" to find and save her (a reference to what ML's sister said). Both of them - being a couple of introverts - grind their thorns during this journey and become more noble and valuable people heading towards Love. That's all about the plot.

As for the acting - ML is absolutely flawless, natural and sincere. If I were to judge him only by this drama - he is in the top of Chinese actors. I will definitely follow his career to see - I hope - his versatility.

FL came out a bit worse - especially against the background of ML's brilliantly played role. Her weakest moments are a certain mannerism in the initial phase of every intimate situation and in acting out being drunk. For this reason, I even wanted to abandon the series after the 20th episode, because these weak moments were repulsive to me.
As for the photos – there could be fewer frequent shots of ML and FL's faces from so close up that you can see the actors' pores, applied foundation on their faces, and their heads are cut off because they don't fit in the frame.

The background music – great.

As I wrote at the beginning the story is beautiful but execution is not perfect - partly acting and partly photosnot, so the shortcomings are more technical in nature (the art of acting, the art of filming) than plot-related.

You're welcome! As I wrote, my no 1 is obviously the "Flower of Evil" with a brilliant performance by Lee Joon Gi. Enjoy watching! It's worth focusing to see and feel all the layers. Greetings.

A great reference to Orwell's "1984", that's exactly what I thought because I read it quite recently.. in the context of China of course.
