I am impressed that mdlers are not impressed by YYS. Of course the showrunners hoped his cameo would boost ratings. Who could predict this would be stratospheric wo him?.
A rethink needed on the romance front. That was a lousy kiss but do not lose heart. She definitely has decided to be with Beom Woo, she drags him around with her and is never reluctant when he turns up on his own. Have no fears. All will be well.
Why does a woman have to wear her heart on her sleeve when we are following her character as the FL? Why dont we assume she knows what she is doing about her own career and heart?
Go Min Si is able to project an unusual reticence combined with self-confidence. I think viewers at this point should put their trust in Yeon Ju doing the right thing on her own schedule.
ep 6 -- there was a lot of tension waiting for either the secretary to steal recipes or for the big reveal when Yeon Joo or or Jeon Min realize who Beom Wu really is. It was hard to get thru but not boring. The question is which is more winning for the viewer -- YYS's std moody 2ml vs. KHN's stagey but pitch perfect comedy acting.
Ha Neul comes from a theater tradition, while YYeon Seok has played moody muttering melodramatic before. Think The Gu Family Book () where YYS chewed up the proverbial rug in the background while Lee Seung Gi ands Bae Suzy blithely got on with that shaggy nonpreproduced gumiho story...
Look at the way they stand; YYS is in character with weirdly depressing bunched up shoulders and turned out feet, expressing his emotions in closeup with mostly his eyes, while KHN expresses his in perfectly controlled movement, quite a lot of it. KHN can handle medium/far shots and conversations with both characters in frame because he was trained on stage with a live audience and je can projec t over yards and yards. YYS is a film actor trained for the back and forth closeups ad infinitum. He looks lumpy in distance shots w/Yeon Joo.
I was not a Kang Ha Neul fan before this show, but I had never seen him do comedy before.
Loved Park Bo Young in Doom at Your Service (Yah!). She has inner spunkiness. Cool that she has to play sad at the same time as bold here. Double Yah! Nice plot, every viewer already has parallel possible outcomes running wild in the background. Right?
ep.24 Tomorrow is the duel then. Exactly 2/3 through, let the troubles begin. I am glad of the tournament venue -- Lady You Lu is so scary but at least ashes not allowed in the arena!
My heart sinks whenever I see disney or prim e produced shows since i can only afford viki and netflix. They eat up all the good actors and they dont sell the broadcast rights forever,
I was so hoping Wei Yan wouldn’t draw Xiao Qiao’s face. I actually like his character. His character has so…
This actor was one of the princes in Joy of Life -- the one who always kicked off his shoes at home and went barefoot. I was very fond of him even if he was a bit evil...
I'm on episode 3, but is there a plot reason why they made Cheon Seung Hwi and Seong Yun Gyeom doppelgangers?…
now that is a really interesting question. It seemed obvious when I was watching but now i have to think... Obvious because it was fun to watch how good the actor is #1. And because that weirdness is part of a solidly central theme of disguise, social staus roles and 'real' identities. I mean, because Lady Ok has to prove over and over again that she is not goedecki altho she really is, while Seo In as Seung hwi escapes his status as an illegitimate son and the problem of marrying Goedeckis horrible mistress by pretending that he is somebody mysterious just like a real idol singer...that is #2.
but why?
Is it that one of the Doppelgangers is person on a mission who will never change no matter what---a gay political activist (he sets up safe shelters for gay children who are being abused) and the other one is an artist who changes his outer self but stays faithful in his heart...
but when you ask abt the actor -- I dont know, does anybody know if this is a novel?
