this was decent, i had high expectations because i love distopia stories but the plot felt flat, something was missing to make it truly exciting. nonetheless it was enjoyable to binge
the actor who plays jaab should give up acting and go into modelling lol he has such a pretty face but has not been able to correctly deliver a single facial expression since the start of the series
unless you consume korean media, you most likely will not know the cast. imo, wooshik is the only one who could…
I did not include V because, while BTS are well-known, I do not think that the individual members on their own are recognizable by the western general public. V is also less likely to be noticed since he’s mostly in the kitchen, while Wooshik is a waiter and interacting with the customers.
Also, music charts don’t mean much when it comes to having to recognize by face individual members of a group. A lot of people listen to music without watching MVs or knowing the artist’s face. That being said, yes, a lot of people know the name BTS but not many people know the individual members. As a K-POP fans, you’ve probably came across multiple videos of Westerners asking non-BTS Kpop groups if they’re BTS only because they’re Asian. People know the band, unfortunately not their faces. Customers look at Wooshik and will think « this guy looks familiar, I think I saw him in a movie » while they probably don’t know who V is until he says he’s in BTS.
love the fluff but god is dunk a horrible actor /: joong deserves a better acting partner, like we’ve all seen in the warp effect how he can have great chemistry with his costars
I’m surprise none of the customers knows who they are
unless you consume korean media, you most likely will not know the cast. imo, wooshik is the only one who could be recognized by the western general public (which has shown to be true so far in the show), since he was in a movie that was a huge success in the west (parasite) but, even then, he looks pretty different in here to how he did in the movie so people might not immediately recognize him
