ok, I am good with that explanation.

yes, thanks, but the whole bit seemed rushed and superfluous. Let's put it this way -- LJW's portrayal emphasized his suffering, not his fertility or even carnal pleasure , ewhen making love. The Prince wanted spiritual power...its fiction but not well-structured, from my POV.

I am a deep fan of LJW but I didnt like the show, in so many ways. I am really worried about the 'masterpiece' reviews -- paid posters? AI? But in reality, probably, I hope, just some people really like gory horrors and dark secrets with transgressions. Not me unless its good art with a stronger script. I did watch it all.

fields of onggi!! What bliss

Exactly why I liked it but from the other end of the age spectrum! I like to see real young people as they are now if I am watching a modern kdrama. I wasnt sure I would make it past Yi Young's pout, as much as I love the actress, but I am glad I did. Her interview here was illuminating I thought.

Yes, its fine. I think RPL is quite different, more future-oriented (babies!). I did watch about half of HPL 1 while waiting each week, though.

I know, wasnt it?

I really liked this show. Smiles and tears just right.

Looking forward to can this love be translated. Go Youn Jung is the hope for a future of lead actresses in drama who are well-trained versatile and flexible. The industry has been playing it safe with maturing child actors, but frequently those actresses are stuck in mannerisms and their technique isnt under their control.

yes. and why a 'fertility' drawing? and what were the other drawings on nine or however many poor victims there were?

I felt weird too. Really lost.

I wrote a review and then deleted it and then reposted it. Loyalty to LJW conflicts with dislike of the show. And lack of confidence -- I am old enough to remember the Heaven's Gate disaster which now people seem to really appreciate. Maybe this will be better when I get around to rewatching it.

I really liked the show -- decent episode structures, really endearing completely exhausted and often unwashed residents. Really endearing. Sneaky, sneaks into your heart.. good production value, excellent character writing, good acting. What's not to love? But the very best thing is that it questions authority and hierarchy intelligently.

Is this airing on asia netflix? I just saw (on breathlesssurvival) that netflix picked it up for the 18th of May but I dont see it in the US. I am watching on viki and happy abt how well it is doing in china, so I guess I dont care.

I like getting confused and then reading other people's comments, its fun. Then I dont feel alone, and its easier to wait for what will come next.

Some confusion is deliberately created by writers to get the audience more involved too i think. .

Yes, I think its cute. He is such an emotional being. I like that the character doesnt stray too far from the ideas of a 'real' imugi -- a creature of weather water and fertility of the earth. Flowers still blossom when he wants them too, even though he is losing his more violent powers.

smiling

the key to a great screen kiss right there -- the emotion expressed around the (closed) eyes. desire plus yearning plus a stilled surprise.

I find it hard to tell the old bearded ones apart too. Wish they came colorcoded!

I am so happy we are watching a classic 16 ep drama, I am on 9, so I will have 5 more episodes to watch. What a pleasure!
