For me Sunday is the worst day for a drama to end. A drama that i am invested in that is. I have to wish for the weekend to end so that i can watch the last episode. TT
It took starring in an Oscar win for him to get a solo ml since Ho goo. Hope it stays like this and he goes on getting these roles. He's too talented to be a guest or supporting character.
I was like -- who's this blonde girl, I've never ever seen in my 5 year kdrama watching life, playing sfl with my darlings here?!! Then after 10 seconds and a smile from her -- OF! Roh jeong eui!! Really!!!
And The end... phew What a weird drama! Ghosts, goblins, deities, devils... still so boring It's like the writer and the director came together to take a break and also occasionally work but were smart enough to get good actors on board so no one will notice their (W&D's) insincerity. What a waste of good actors. But also almost everyone is liking it and it's getting good ratings according to Soompi so not waste of talent, i guess. The first episode was very good in terms of mystery setup. A bit confusing, but I'll take it. It even ended perfectly. But that's that. . There's no continuing with the build up of the mystery, or even the "lovers" love relation. The lovestory was like -- here, we are telling you these two love each other and you have to believe. Period.
I'd have been able to endure this even if they had focused on the lovestory instead of the sloppily executed mystical mystery. I know my duty to leave normal beliefs at the door while following a fantasy world, but even fantasy worlds have their rules that they set up and then follow.
And then there was the abandonment of common sense which I believe even the ancient mystical beings posses, except trolls of course.
The only two times the drama had any reaction out of me other that snoring are the full first episode -- excitement and hope of a good journey ahead, and the last when Chon Ki lost her eyes again and met Ha ram at the end of exorcism and her whole acting while crying -- I was crying a bit too but that was Yoo Jung's acting. No points to the makers.
The editing was bad too. The transitions from funny scenes to serious was so abrupt that I was having emotional-identity crisis. The whole drama was so lazily written and directed and edited that it was hilariously stupid. But even the fun of watching a bad drama was not enough to endure it.
I finished it because of the actors. They deserved viewers. So yes, while I'd say the director was good at directing the actors, he wasn't directing the plots.
So did the king and the prince oh so transparently decide to tell chun ki the whole secret of the divine painter trapping the biggest satan of all time in her painting and also that as a consequence she might lose her sanity like her dad and just expected her to go along with the plan out of the sheer goodness of a loyal subject? And now she's discussing, what is suppose to be a secret kept for a long time even among the palace insiders, with her painting buddies for them to give her suggestions or help her out of the situation! Is this suppose to be thick plot or just thick?
