Yeah but this one seems more similar than others with the general premise. I guess we will see how similar or different they are when it releases. Also you might want to tag your post as spoiler as it spoils one of the major points for the Taiwanese drama?

Perfect Family is a convoluted mess where the writers dont know where the show is going. Also 0 character developments so far. They are trying too hard to create suspense and thrill but its just seems extremely contrived.

The ones you mentioned are similar, not same. Based on the premise, this sounds same as The Victim's Game.

This sounds awfully similar to The Victim's Game. Is it a remake?

This sounds like a remake of a Taiwanese show, I think, it's on Netflix, but I can't remember the name.

I am curious about two things if anyone has the knowledge:
1) What is the purpose of these 10-15 min dramas? Why such short dramas?
2) Do these actors manage to break into more primetime/longer dramas? If so how difficult is it?

Can you carry on with the spoilers? :)

I have read both the novels and hence I disagree with this take. Like I said, even if you look around you, you will hear many people that are completely different based on who they are interacting with. I personally relate to that since everyone else thinks I am extremely serious no nonsense person but the truth is that I just need to get comfortable and open up to people. And even then, the way I behave with my sibling is nothing like how I behave with my partner.

Another example is HL itself, the way the ML viewed the FL changed completely from how the brother viewed the FL, his sister even though both relationship were brotherly at the start.

Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks a lot for sharing the end. I think I am going to drop this. I love James but its a sad ending for him so I will wait until all of it is out and someone tells me it has different ending. I did suspect Nan's father was the responsible party.
By the way, where did you find the book? Online? How did you buy it?

Does anyone know how the novel ends and can spoil it for me? Lol

Even in this clip, look at the difference between the range of expressions between PSH and her. PSH is expression just joy in so many different ways.

People here defending her bad acting left right and center! As I have said before, in all her works I have seen, I have registered just two expressions. The girl has the expression range of a rock. Even in the trailer for this drama, she has just ONE expression.

This is a direct quote from the directors of her first movie:
Burning’s director, Lee Chang Dong, praised the rookie actress in an interview with Cinema Scope, “Jeon Jong-seo has no prior experience in acting, and this was actually her very first audition. Perhaps I was unconsciously drawn to the fact that everything was a 'first time' for her. Also, she has a face that makes people wonder what she’s feeling and thinking. I think that made her a good fit for Hae-mi’s character.”


She was casted coz she has just one expression which fitted the role. The second role she got was with her now boyfriend.

I have watched her other dramas as well, even in Money Heist she has just two expressions. And getting lead role isn’t just purely because she is a good actor, it could be her agency or manager doing a great job getting her work or directors/writers favoring her for her face card, etc.

There are ton of good actors in Korean industry who don’t get main roles too.

Disappointed with the FL, if her performance in Wedding Impossible is any indicator, she is probably going to have only one expression in the entire series.

I agree, she is a great singer but not a great actor. I think she does so well because she has a great fanbase that rolled over from her singing. And also face card!

I was hoping to see Victor Ma reprise his role from HL. I get people saying that Sang Yan's personality is different in HL and FF, but that's just how people behave with different people. Even if the POV is different, it makes little sense to replace the actor. I think VM could have really carried the role if given the chance.
But I guess it was a business decision to cast someone with more "street cred".

That could be it. I guess most other Korean actresses do look much younger than their age.

I love her acting but was surprised to learn she is just 31. Honestly, she looks older than her age in pretty much all her dramas to me. Not sure why.
