I wonder if the letter mentioned here is about the kidnapper being released or escaping? https://mydramalist.com/750099-time-walking-on-memory#comment-17139013
Really? He's so bold and unrelenting, though. I find his character really interesting and important in providing…
To be honest, I could see myself enjoying that type of character in a different show. But he would have seemed so strange and out of place in this series. I really loved this portrayal and think the actor put in a lot of work to make him a realistic character with subtle depth.
Sometimes when I come to MDL I feel like I watched a completely different show than everyone else. I don't know anything about this book or the other series, but I found the ending poignant and even teared up a few times. It was one of my favorite episodes of the season. The flashfoward to Toranaga winning the battle was the show's way of reminding the viewer that this was never about the big battles or political machinations or adventure, it was a show that quietly and beautifully explored the interplay of the meaning of life and the meaning of death, of the subtle difference between having something that is worth living for vs something that you are willing to die for.
I seem to be the only person who had zero issues with Blackthorne also--I thought he was a compelling character with a lot of nuance in the portrayal, a mix of honor and cowardice, of intelligence and naivety, of violence and gentleness -- he had a great arc this season, look at where he ended up from where he started at the beginning of the show. The only real criticism I see is "he wasn't like the book character". I honestly did not once think at any point he was anything but another great addition to this ensemble cast until coming here and seeing people say he ruined the show.
To be frank, he didn't seem to be the star of this version of the story. It kind of seemed like the story of every…
Toranaga said himself in the finale Anjin wasn't really that important, but was essentially a novelty that he enjoyed playing with. Which is how I see the actor having played the role--he's just a random sailor who is completely out of his element. I think he will have a bigger arc next season
but feels like cabbie plot ended too quickly... didn't make sense to have it only.. we have 10 more eps. to go...…
He'll come back at the very end and will be involved in SJ's "suicide" I'm glad they're not dragging it out too much here-wrap it up for now and focus on the romance until the end
i don't think this is going to be a normal serial killer/thriller twist tbh but i feel the point is more about…
YES! I had that thought when she found out about her mom--she is actually learning a lot about her own life and what she was too busy to really notice and what she took for granted. I think the serial killer will be thwarted in the past in the next ep and then come into play later in the present but won't be that much of a focus, kinda like how he had a scene or two hinted at every ep till now.
All the negative parts aside, Sun Jae is so funny; when he was going to punch Tae Sung, the position looked hilarious…
Those two scenes made me laugh out loud, when he gave him the hug I screamed. One of my fav moments of the show. He's got great comedic timing, he really is such a dork.
I like that they're back in the future next week--I'd rather have that then them staying in the past forever, we got lots of cute moments already, I'm ready for more angst!! I figure that she altered the timeline too much or something, and will end up having to go back to the past again anyway.
omg i'm just loving it so far. They're both so good at playing their respective characters so naturaly. I'm afraid…
I feel like just when you think you know where the show is going they add in another twist so I think we will have a new twist tomorrow that will slightly change the way we see the show and they probably already have planned a bunch of tiny reveals like that through the end
