Thank God someone hav great choice and understand real thrillYeah bruhh it was my fav Nam koong min's hidden gem…
I have even watched Secret Hotel from 2014 and Remember 2015 where he played an excellent Villain. The only dramas of his I watched that I couldn't get into were Undateables and Distorted. Yet to try Awaken and Veil and that's just because I am usually not into Monster stuff in Awaken and Veil is not on any of the OTT I own (Prime, Disney, Netflix)
I’m surprised to see so much criticism of her acting when she did the same kind of performance many female actors…
I think she did a decent job. She did the comedy scenes well enough but the Issue is that she doesn't have facial acting down yet and her voice inflections are off in emotional/intense scenes.
The biggest issue is that she struggles to convey emotions through her eyes and subtle facial ques. I would give an example of Go Youn Jung in "Can This Love Be translated?" That is a similar romcom but Go Youn Jung elevates the show with her performance. She can alter between two personalities with just a change in her expression. So yes, if JISOO could act better this Drama would have been better. Also, to say that she didn't have ANY chemistry would also be wrong. Yes, her chemistry with AI co-stars wasn't awe-inspiring but her chemistry with SIG was definitely good. Now how much was that SIG carrying her or her doing a better job I don't know.
Exactly my take from this. People expected way too much from a Ro-Co story wise. Base story was simple but production…
Nailed it on the head with superficial roles. This Drama was more FL centric and it was enjoyable for what it was. Still surprised SIG took this role though.
SIG is usually very careful in selecting his roles that either test his acting range or come with amazing scripts. DAYS, Smile has Left your Eyes, Cafe Minamdang, Squad 38, Hello Monster, Shopping King Louis, Death Game but his last two roles felt more like he did it for others. Twelve he did for Ma Dong Seok and this felt like he did for his agency lol. Excited for See you at Work Tomorrow though, webtoon was amazing.

Yeah that's the point, Park Bo Young is so good that she was able to carry the story in DAYS the first half. However, because they gave the same responsibility to JISOO in the first half of this show, it became really hard to stay invested in her AI adventures till Ep 5 as the novelty wore out by Ep 3. Only when SIG's character got more screentime by Ep 6 did I start to enjoy the show again. The moment of Yeong Il's creation where I called it being SIG and it actually turning out to be him was the most epic moment in the show for me.

Exactly, in "Can this Love be Translated?" you see the male lead has a similar no-nonsense mature personality but it is allowed to develop as you see how he was brought up, how he treats his brother and his other relationships to get a sense for his demeanor surrounding the FL. In this, it just felt like they gave In Guk a character to play, which he did admirably, but without any thoughts put into developing the character motivations.

Aside from not fleshing out ML backstory, the issue with not having families involved would have been fine if the workplace rivalry and the webtoon world was explored thoroughly instead of the surface level stuff we got. "Today's Webtoon" is a perfect example of that. Like relying heavily on AI stuff and JISOO's acting to carry the narrative was the main misstep. That would have shielded JISOO from criticism too as she had to carry the whole show and her acting was average at best (Her best scene were her broken English comedy, which shows how limited she is). Seo InGuk carried the 2nd half of the show even with such a limited character. If he was given more of the burden to carry the show then this would have hit at least 8.3 rating instead of the below 8 it has now.
Doom at your service is the perfect example, that show was FL centric too and even though the script was slightly weak in terms of main plot line, Seo In Guk's Doom character was given ample backstory, motivations, character growth etc. that the show ended up as a cult classic internationally even with average ratings in Korea.
Again, it's very cute and light hearted, which makes it a good show for when you want something fluffy to unwind.…
Exactly my take from this. People expected way too much from a Ro-Co story wise. Base story was simple but production was great and Seo Inguk was amazing. Not every Ro-Co can be 10/10 like "Can This Love be Translated?". And even that became a bit more Melo-Ro-Co which deepened the plotline. I think my biggest concern was family of both FML and ML being non-existent and they didn't give Seo any relationships outside work or liking the FML in secret. If they explored Gyeong Nam's personal life before and showed his dynamic with people outside of work (like family or friends) this would have created a better foundation for the romance. At least they gave FML a best friend and a backstory of previous relationship but did nothing for Gyeong Nam.
her acting was really disappointing, basically no chemistry the whole drama was the simulation games and the actual…
She isn't going to win any awards but it wasn't bad either. Maybe because I went in with low expectations that I was pleasantly surprised. As a fan of Seo In Guk, it was lovely to see him in a Ro-CO
I almost didn’t watch this drama at all because the lead is a K-pop idol.After watching the first two episodes…
It's okay, even with limited screen time and restricted male lead personality Seo In Guk was able to carry the show and chemistry with Jisoo with his acting, especially in the 2nd half. Oh and 2nd FML is awesome and Hilarious. I sometimes even wished that she was the actual FML :D
should i watch it?? from the edits ive seen it looks fun and cute but i hope its not a kdrama makes u wanna drop…
If you like the premise and like the leads it will keep you hooked. And it's 10 episodes so they didn't drag anything. I do wish they explored the webtoon world and its intricacies a bit more other then "Oh my Author is always late on deadline" thing. If it balanced the romance and AR stuff with their webtoon rivalry and the business in General it would have been even better. I am talking about stuff like in the show "Today's Webtoon". Even with such a restricting Male lead Seo In Guk Manages to showcase his acting skills and Jisoo's performance was good too. And I did genuinely laugh a few times as well.
I just started Death's Game Part 2 and it's gritty and violent and bloody and all his character is swinging a…
Yeah I became his fan from Deathgame. Bro doesn't farm Aura, he is Aura. Watched Crazy Love and Her Private life because of him. I am hesitant to watch him in Support roles because Kim Seon Ho gave me severe 2nd lead syndrome cuz of Strongest Delivery Man and Start Up.
The biggest issue is that she struggles to convey emotions through her eyes and subtle facial ques. I would give an example of Go Youn Jung in "Can This Love Be translated?"
