only two things made this drama enjoyable for me -- first, song yoon ah. she is truly the best character in this show. second, the constant backstabbing -- and subsequently seeing folks maneuvering their way out of sticky situations.
I like it so far, but sometimes it's hard to focus on what the characters are saying because of the nearly nonstop music. the ost is pretty cool, but the way it's being used is distracting and intrusive at times.
While the lead couple didn't do much for me (no chemistry), I had a blast with the rest of the characters.…
agree. at one point it felt like every other word out of his mouth was 'low quality.' it was funny at first, but when he was still at it in the last few episodes (noble idiocy aside), it just made me feel badly for Hana. it didn't help that she was a doormat nearly the entire drama. there were several times i wanted to reach through the screen, knock a backbone into Hana as well as shove JJS off of his egotistical pedestal.
While the lead couple didn't do much for me (no chemistry), I had a blast with the rest of the characters. The impersonator and the 3 musketeers (especially Ki Bum) were hilarious to watch and made this drama worth watching.
WHAT I'M LIKING: all of the characters have some loose screws. a few (okay, maybe alot) are psychologically damaged; most are just looking out for their own interests; and the rest are downright evil. no one is completely sane, good, or innocent.
WHAT I HAVEN'T LIKED: the sappy inorganic scenes featuring ramen, rooftops/cats, cpr, and dog training. although admittedly, the kitten was adorable and the dog commands have proved useful. but seriously, the writer should have recognized that the drama and Je Ha didn't need a romantic angle at at time when An Na was in such a vulnerable childlike state. friendship with An Na, sure. romantic undertones? it just felt creepy writing this into the script so early on. hopefully now that An Na is becoming more lucid, the potential romance won't seem as forced. although personally, i don't see the need for romance in an action thriller.
WHAT I WANT TO SEE MORE OF: 1. scenes between Je Ha and Yoo Jin -- these two characters have interesting chemistry. realistically, i don't see them together romantically, but i still ship them for some reason. at the very least, i hope they'll be able to continue their guarded alliance and that she'll somehow become a better person 2.further development of Je Ha's revenge and how it will potentially tie into those involved with the presidential campaign 3.An Na's character developing from a childlike incapacitated state, to a strong female that will kick the butt's of those who have wronged her
another average drama driven by cliche plot twists, with the added bonus of several 2-dimensional characters -- a couple of which were played by actors who managed to flatten them further to 1-dimension. is it still worth a watch? sure, especially if you enjoy rom-com's or are fans of any of the actors. but if you prefer a drama with depth and interesting plot twists, this will border on boring. i had to fast-forward through alot of the redundant scenes, but personally still found the overall drama tolerable to watch (jung il woo had alot to do with this). as a rom-com, it's certainly no better or worse than alot of what's out there. and the ost was pretty decent.
"and you, Ka Suo, my brother...you're my only immortal." kong shi's love for his brother may have bordered on obsessive at times, but seriously, this bromance is matchless. certainly more interesting to watch than the romance between the two main leads.
The crock of bs presidential candidate Se Joon was spewing to the reporters in the hospital, was probably meant to be serious, but I couldn't stop laughing. Indeed, politicians can sometimes be just as good, if not better, than actors.
I like this drama but I'm sorry I'm really not into Hye Ji and Hyun Min's issues and past, it's…
agree...that's why the 'two flat pancakes' are perfect for each other. they are quite possibly two of the dullest characters i've watched interact in a while.
this youtube link is for a different film. the title seems to be the same? but the link is for a short film about a writer who goes crazy. thanks anyway -- it was an interesting watch.
This has to be one of the oddest movies I've watched in a while. On a deeper level, the film provides a glimpse of societal idiosyncrasies in Korea -- aversion to homosexuality, the disparity between North and South Koreans, addiction to gambling and parent’s desire for their children to learn English, to name a few.
But if the movie is just taken at face value, it’s premise is quite simple really. Futureless Things merely highlights the oddball (and scary) things that happen in your average convenience store. By using black humor and vignettes, the movie does a compelling job depicting the peculiarities of the convenience store workers and customers as they interact with each other. The characters are all living in the moment, futureless, as they go about their daily lives.
In the right frame of mind, this slow-paced movie is an interesting watch. Most of the scenes, when not outright absurd, are quite funny to watch. At the very least, the film will keep you guessing what ridiculous character/situation the writer is going to introduce next.
wasn't too crazy about the first episode...too much was packed in, the pacing felt rushed and some of the scene transitions were confusing. but the second episode was better and the drama on a whole looks promising. looking forward to seeing more of lee joon, joo jin mo and choi ji woo.
Yoon Sun (the secretary) has been an upstanding decent guy the entire drama and now, near the end, the writer is turning him into a bad guy. I hate when dramas ruin a character for me in this manner. It doesn't bother me when a character is shady from the beginning and then turns evil....but the secretary seemed to truly care for the chairman and the three cousins -- at least until the mother showed up. I seriously hope he'll stay true to himself and won't be completely misguided by his feelings for his mother.
Due to watching W, I think I had brain damage that I can't even manage drama analysis atm... Why does Annie's…
During that opening party, SDW's work friend explained to Mi Jin (Soo Ah's flight attendant friend) that years ago, SDW was single, but later married a woman who already had a child. So SDW definitely isn't Annie's biological father. But like you said, after "W," where plot twists were a dime a dozen, my mind keeps thinking there is some crazy plot development coming our way.
