The title encapsulates the emotion of the show perfectly. I love how the whole drama utilizes its little time to focus on just the time of the 2 MCs and their newly developed feelings with a fine atmosphere and chemistry. No cramming up unnecessary stuff.
Yeah, weekend dramas are mostly taken by actors/actress who want to revamp their careers. Established actors or…
I thought Kim Jung Hyun did Kokdu and Mr Queen post his scandal, but I may be wrong. About Choi Tae Joon, I feel he is criminally underrated and undercasted despite his talent. So, you might be right that he got tired of waiting for good ml roles and took what he got. It breaks my heart for him.
Well, this was weak. The villains weren't scary the heroes and the non-villains weren't giving me any feeling.
The first season wasn't perfect and had its plot holes and inconsistencies, the biggest being the ending. But it succeeded for me in telling a story and bringing out several emotions, heartbreak, anger, horror. This season neither told a story, nor did it have any time for emotion. Even though it was faster pacewise than the first season and a lot of stuff was happening, it didn't give time to tell a coherent story. It didn't feel like a second part of the Gyeongseong creature story, it felt like a collection of scattered events.
I was wondering in the first season: how did Chae ok land in water? didn't she die in Tae sang's arm? did he drop her body in a water body? That part was merely to give us this second part? which isn't worth it.
I thought the first season was complete in itself. I loved it. It was telling a horrific and heartbreaking story. And in that story were the beautiful and heart-touching stories of friendship, comradery, love, forgiveness, bravery. I think Che Ok's death was the perfect ending of that story. It was a time of unfathomable loss and unforgettable sacrifices. So, there was no need to bring Chae Ok back for this. I mean. i think too that she deserves the life she got in the ending of s2, but not going through a non-story like this after her heartrending story in S1. Instead, this season kind of makes the sacrifices and losses of everyone in the last absolutely hollow when they start with Gato's book on the shelf of book shops and Gato's son heading such a huge lab. And then that flashback of Tae Sang's people.
The only times i wanted to ff in season 1 were the times of the gruesome torture scenes because it was unstomachable for me, but i didn't. because people went through torture like that and more during that time, so i didn't want to disrespect by ffing. But here i was tempted to ff a million times because so much dumb stuff was happening (this is the most incompetent police i have seen and the dumbest ever) but i didn't, out of sheer confoundment that how can a story like that become events like these. Utterly disappointed.
The performances were solid. In both the seasons.
p.s. did that old lady pretend to be Maeda before Gato's son or it was just to throw us off? If it's the latter, bad execution. just for one scene? And if it was for gato's son, it doesn't make sense. Shouldn't he know that Maeda was alive because everyone else working in that place knows this.
I have finally started watching and loving how athletic Chae Ok is. Should I be saying that I am loving the story since it's a story of horrifying events, depicts the calamity of wartime and human greed perfectly. The monster is an apt manifestation of how far humans' monstrosity can go. So, I'll just say that the show is telling a story, and I am invested.
And please someone give me hope that Gato dude will be devoured slowly and excruciatingly by his "Goddess".
