okay I'm done watching. I'm guessing you were going to say Yuan'er won't hate her mum because of how the rest raised her up making sure she wouldn't suffer? And just make sure she's having a good childhood.
Wei Shuyu is so irrelevant. They could have removed his character from the drama completely and it wouldn't even make a difference. I have 15 episodes left but I highly doubt he's going to do anything meaningful in any of the remaining episodes lol
Episode 15 when the Governer's wife killed herself after the governer himself killed himself. And when Changge…
Don't mind me just in the comments here ranting about a minor character and a pretty minor scene that probably won't have much impact on the whole storyline. I just needed to rant about this. I don't understand people who have such a mentality.
Episode 15 when the Governer's wife killed herself after the governer himself killed himself. And when Changge was like "Fools! You two are fools!" yes, sis. They're mega fools indeed. I just don't understand why the wife had to kill herself too. Don't tell me it's because of love because I find that a stupid excuse. You said the Governer dying was the highest glory he could achieve as the army's leader so why did you have to kill yourself too? Almost made it seem like he died for a measly reason. You love your spouse so much that you're willing to leave your toddler child defenseless, parentless, and alone? Wow, what a good parent. If I were Yuan'er I'd grow up to hate my mother for leaving me alone when my dad just left me. Like she could have stayed and continue living for her child which she brought into this world, but no can't bring myself to live anymore because my husband died. Nevermind the fact the the child I brought into this world will be alone. She's not good enough reason for me to live :/
I think they only added his character only to kill him so that they can show how...different So Mun is? Wi Gen…
True, there were quite a number of things unexplained in this drama. Like why the people in Yung need partners, why only some of them need counters etc.
Where are you guys watching the show? I can't seem to access WE TV from my region.
If Viu is available in your country, you can watch it there. Although I'm guessing if WeTv is not available in your region, chances are Viu is probably not either. (Viu is available in most Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern and a handful of African countries)
I'm usually never one to ask for a second season when a drama ends (without a cliffhanger) but with this one, seeing how they ended the drama with room for a continuation, I really hope season 2 will be a thing!
One of the best drama with great blending of all genre. Even though the last few episodes dragged slightly it…
I think they only added his character only to kill him so that they can show how...different So Mun is? Wi Gen mentioned after that counter's partner went into So Mun, that So Mun is the connecting "bridge" / the door between the world and Yung.
I agree with most of the points you made. Ko Mun Yeong bugged me a lot too. I somehow don't feel Jang Man Wol…
To be honest I view Jang Man Wol as a slightly more toned down version of Ko Mun Yeong. She's definitely not as bad but I still don't think a person like her who is constantly so snappy would be a joy to be around.
I don't know if it's just me but for It's Okay to Not be Okay I didn't really find that any of the characters…
Yeah Gang Tae didn't really excuse or romanticize her behaviour but that didn't stop a lot of viewers from romanticizing her behaviour, saying she's badass and really cool
I agree with most of what you said here and you explained many things I felt but couldn't really put into words! When I watched It's Okay to Not Be Okay, I honestly wasn't a fan of Ko Mun Yeong but people seemed to love her because she's....I don't know badass or something? But she did so many things that made Gang Tae feel uncomfortable which made me, the viewer, uncomfortable because I know if I were in Gang Tae's situation I would be so not okay, and if the gender roles were reversed, the things that Ko Mun Yeong did would definitely not be okay at all.
And also True Beauty yes! I think the show really failed to do what it was supposed to do. I would say though, it probably did try to carry out the message of finding beauty in your true and inner self a lot better than My ID is Gangnam Beauty did. But I would still call it a flop because like you said, the drama focused more on the love triangle rather than Ju Gyeong's journey to discover her true beauty.
What a fascinating cast! This was interesting to read although seeing Gao Weiguang casted as Voldemort had me going "noooo" (while laughing lmao). But you know what, I think he can pull it off ;)
