Thanks to my daughter I'm quite attached to OHSHC so I'll definitely give this a go. I'm all for a girl beating up the guys (I've done the same in my misspent youth! LOL!) So thanks for the heads up on the premise. Have a good New Year and it's been nice chatting to you. :)
Yeah no problem, I haven't even watched it yet!! It's on my to-watch list, but keeps getting pushed down - is it worth watching? If so, I'll move it nearer the top. I just don't know if I can go through another 'FL ends up with jerk ML' endings, but the open ones drive me even more mad. There's one Japanese drama where it just.......stops. Like they ran out of money and just stopped filming. LOL!
nope, not a single spoiler. I said 'so long as she ends up with one of them' - no that she does or which one. I wouldn't know as I haven't even watched it yet. So NO spoilers......At.All.
Very true. I think the drama's where he wasn't exactly an antogonist would probably be Perfume and also Kairos(…
Completely agree - I watched Perfume and thought he was so wonderful in it. I was convinced he'd get more lead roles like that.....only to see he's back to being a villain in this. I haven't seen Kairos yet, but it's near the top of my watch list. I might move it to the top and watch it now. I mean I love his acting, I watch whatever he's in - but I really would prefer a few more LEAD romantic roles for him.....to me, it's just such a waste of an enormously talented and experienced actor to always cast him as a second lead romantic partner and/or a villain.
I've watched both and they were both excellent. But I personally preferred Alice in Borderland just that little bit more. It's also on Netflix UK at the moment too. :)
PUSH!! I honestly thought that maybe he'd retired from the entertainment industry or chosen to work behind the cameras. So to see him back on the screen is a real treat. I'm definitely up for this, although he'll have to go some to beat 'Ugly Duckling: Perfect Match' in both the character and the story. I've seen pretty much all the stuff he's done and that was just so cutesy. LOL! I do prefer when he's a nice good guy and not a jerk 'good guy' like he was in 'U-Prince: The Handsome Cowboy'. In that I really wanted to slap him a LOT and the same for some of the other characters he's played. :)
Will be really happy to see him in the Thai version of Boss and Me though......can't wait to watch it!
I'm glad to see him again, but I am getting so tired of him being cast as a villain. He's such a wonderful actor and his comic timing is absolutely faultless. It would be so nice to see him in more romantic dramas, whether comedies or serious romantic dramas where he's the FIRST lead.
You mean “Lorena Bobit” him ?! Actually happened in USA.
@FrothyMix - I think if anyone is tied in bitterness and hate, it's you. You seem to be spewing vitriol like a shaken up pop bottle; just pumping out expletives and insults like a kiddies cap gun. I suggest you seek anger management counselling as soon as possible.
Cutting a guy's genitals off isn't the 'centre of joy' in my life. Actually my husband and daughter are. But you wouldn't understand that as eaten up by hate and rage as you are. My history IS true, as is my history with a violent ex. But I really don't care if you believe me or not - that's on you. Your questioning of my reality doesn't make it any less true; it's sad that you seem to think it will.
FYI my mum NEVER gave my father ANY kind of 'permission' to bed every female he met. She never gave him permission to steal our bill money to buy them whatever baubles they wanted. Cheaters are narcissists; it really is that simple. I stand by my sentiments that I would feel the same if the cheater is a female or any other gender identity.
I will not be responding to you again. I would also advise you to get serious anger management therapy in place; you sound very, VERY disturbed. Good luck with your life; maybe a bit less obvious in your loathing of women too - misogynists don't do well in today's society.

You really need to stop taking posts THIS seriously. Holy God of Chocolate, people like you suck all the joy out of life. A perfect little ray of darkness. However, I am the adult offspring of serial womaniser - who BROKE my late mum's health. He was cheating right up until the day she died; his latest mistress even arrived at her FUNERAL at his invitation.
So I have ZERO sympathy for cheaters of ANY gender or gender identity being caught and 'facing the music' for the harm they cause their spouses the most as well their families. But my previous comment was a JOKE
Why these drama reminds.me of a chinese historical drama or something
I think it's just that these drama types are based on Korean mythology and history; I don't believe they're copying Chinese or any other East Asian country's dramas. I think it's only that there is a lot of similarities between a many of the East Asian myths and legends.
I absolutely LOVED this series, so I'm really happy a second season is coming. BUT they really need to bring Song Kang back...his character was the lynchpin.
I think it was love since the start - they both just didn't realize it. Many times it was hinted in the movie.…
Oh I COMPLETELY agree - I've watched pretty much all his work and he is an AMAZING actor. He reminds me very much of Johnny Depp in that he plays every character so well that you truly believe he IS that person; that that person is completely real. I saw him most recently in My Little Monster which was one of my favourite mangas & animes, he absolutely NAILED Haru. Even when a film, etc has been bad, he still plays his character so well that at least you can leave it thinking "Suda Masaki was all that made that tolerable."

Yeah I had wondered if he might be gay or trans to begin with and was impressed that his family seemed to accept him (I know East Asia isn't the most accepting, though Japan's getting better these days, though not as good as Taiwan). But I realised very quickly he was just a fashion fan who adored female clothes because of his mum and because loved being 'different' to others and achieving his dreams HIS way.
I think her infatuation with his brother was a very short lived crush in the end. As you say, I think they loved each other very quickly but were oblivious for a long time. I like to think that, in the end, they ended up together, we just didn't see it. I have no doubt that any kids they had would have a wonderful life.
I thought the series was good, but I still love the film the most. There's just a warmth about the film the series seemed to lack. BUT that's just my personal take. :) Thanks for replying - it's nice to chat to others who love it too!
LOL I feel like your comment perfectly encapsulates most of Sono Sion's work tbh!
We have directors in the West where I try to guess what their drug of choice was whilst writing it etc. Kubrick's were the toughest. Good to see East Asia has similar directors to play the game with. For this movie I'm going magic mushrooms... ;)
