girl be my friend I keep finding you🤣♥️ I think our taste is same
haha Yes, I saw the notification for this comment, and wondered if you were stalking me, especially since this and that japanese bl are fairly obscure. :) Have you watched this one yet?
Were you able to get the link to that four-part JP BL to work?
Episode 7: In an episode stuffed with highlights, the gay tailor besotted with Vincenzo's "mannequin"-perfect body comes out on top...er, bottom? ;)
Wow...it's as though three different but connected half-hour films took place in the span of 90 minutes. Bravo.
omg...the French Revolution reference at the end! hahahahahahahaha... What a riot.
I almost dropped this several times during the first three episodes, but I stuck in there because I saw several commenters promising that it would all begin to be worth it in episode 4. They were correct.
Episode 6: I love when evil Kdrama characters get frustrated/angry and absolutely 100% lose their shit. The ice drains from their veins, their concrete-cool exterior falls in chunks to the floor, and they shriek like banshees, bounce off the walls, and throw expensive furniture around. The women are especially scary. They screech at high pitches I didn't know existed in the human vocal range until I found Kdramas and movies.
Watching all this is extremely satisfying.
This episode was as schizophrenic in tone as its prior five show-mates. However, now that I've settled into that groove and I'm not going "wtf?" every time a massive vibe shift happens, I seem to be getting the hang of what's happening here.
I've not seen anything like this before, that's for sure. :)
Among supporting players, Jo Han Chul as the evil law firm's CEO, is particularly entertaining. I've never seen groveling and arrogant, two opposite traits, combined so smoothly into one hilarious character.
I can't get over how handsome-in-an-evil-way Ok Taec Yeon's little brother is. Great casting.
In my opinion he looks better with the weight on him. Looks more healthy but he did this for a role? Weight gain/loss…
Your answer is right there in Lily Malice's stupid article: "...Lee revealed that he had lost around 10 kilograms (22 pounds) for the film Ode to My Father 2."
To sum this up: Actor Lee Sung Min lost TWENTY-TWO pounds for a film role. In Lily Malice's twisted world, that is not the story. The story is that some "fans" (no one knows what fans or if Lily Malice made them up), who, if they exist, are clearly morons, "expressed concern."
The added bonus here is the implied suggestion that something serious JUST MIGHT BE going on with LSM's health, which is NOT the case.
It's not wrong to point to this supremely bogus "story" as a prime example of what's wrong with Korean (and in the US, too) entertainment media. In the hunt for clicks, stories are now rarely, primarily about an actual event but about the REACTION to the event from imbeciles and cretins online.
The world is getting dumber by the minute, and Lily Malice is proud to be doing her part to make it so.
Hi dear Inez. My my my, aren't you a lovely person.
The arguments you present for your position are original, concise, and convincing. Let's review, shall we? "...you're weird maybe seek help" You should read the brief poem on my profile page. Its title is "Blessed Are the Weird."
"assault is assault" Wow, that is stunningly profound. Kind of like, "stupid is stupid" (you've got this one down pat)
"a freaking bitch" The originality in your insults is...not there. Consider upping your game.
"get a life" I have one and I like it fine, thanks.
"putting down people's traumas" Well yes, having one's thigh indeed touched can result in life-long PTSD with all its horrible symptoms. It's exactly the same as enduring combat in a war zone or being tied down, beaten, and violently gang-raped. Oh wait...no, it's not like those things at all. It's actually nothing.
"fucking disgusting people like you" I'm utterly devastated at knowing an illiterate MDL spittle-spewer thinks I'm disgusting. Oh no, wait...no, I'm actually not devastated. I'm gratified. Insults from morons is a sign that one is likely a genius.
"go to an asylum" Re-read your own comment a few times, then consider who needs to be institutionalized.
"you're genuinely a loser" The "insults from morons" rule above applies here.
You haven't an original, intelligent thought in your pea-brain.
P.S. It's adorable that, given your potty mouth and level of stupidity, you take the time to self-censor, as in "b*tch," and "f8cking." So polite and kind. Word to the wise: It's ok to spell out BITCH and FUCKING here. Go ahead, no one will cry.
Episode 6: Oh my gosh...another episode entirely stolen by a child actor with devastating skills. I'm a wreck.
How is it that, despite Korea having excellent universal healthcare that covers 99%+ of the population, in Kdramas everyone's mother is dying in a hospital, and some poor child of hers has to come up with $$$ for the bills?
Episode 5: Holy shit. Now, THAT is how you do a plot twist.
Korean men speaking English: Pure Sex OTY shirtless: Pure Sex
Well, it's true, what I saw in comments from people both on MDL and IMDB: If you hang in there through 1-3, things really do take off and improve drastically in episode 4, and 5 gets even better. Tons of extraneous stuff in those early episodes. 1-3 should have been edited down to no more than two episodes. However, there was a contract for TWENTY, so that's what was done.
Anyway, things are quite lively now. I almost kept going to binge #6, but it's late.
Episode 4: Goodness. That is one of the most moving series of scenes depicting such an event that I have ever seen, in a drama or feature film, both. The acting of the lawyer daughter is especially notable. Great direction. The doors festooned with accolades...slayed me.
There's a lot to like and a lot to wonder about, like the wildly uneven, broad comic acting of the young female lawyer, her intern (ok taec yeong), and the young prosecutor who's dying to go after Vincenzo, to name just three. Their flailing, exaggerated mugging for the camera and what I guess is supposed to be slapstick physical stuff don't feel like characterizations. They feel like actors who have been told to BE FUNNY/GOOFY/JUST DO WHATEVER. Same with the residents of the building. Much of the humor works, but a lot of it doesn't. I get a small-town community theatre comedy review vibe from much of the action.
Meanwhile, SJK continues to turn in a near-flawless performance, expertly flowing from drama to comedy and back again, sometimes multiple times in a scene. However, he does so from within a characterization that never slips, which is much more than I can say for the woman lawyer, the intern, the junior prosecutor, etc.
Anyway...I'm enjoying it, but not as much as I wish I were. I don't get what the director was aiming for here; it's all over the place.
10/10 Pure Gold! (no pun intended hahaha)To the people claiming that the characters are overacting; this is a…
I've seen the "wait until episode 4 before judging" meme a few times here and on IMDB, too, but any show that takes 270 minutes, more than 1/7th of its run time to get going, is sus from the outset. On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed episode 1 anyway, so I wasn't going anywhere. The tonal shift was kind of bizarre, but...alrighty, let's see how it goes.

Quite a trip.
1=3 were a mess and iffy, but 4 & 5 were epic.

You realize in the "heat of the moment" (lol) you're going with that tired BS?
"grooming" "power dynamic"
Wow, you've got all the current trend-speak down pat, don't you, Panty Sniffing Church Lady?
Bitch, are you okay?
Like, why are you shoving your irl frustration onto a comment section?
You need to get laid.

Love the stylish way he plays with fire.
