Actually, The Eighth Sense has *two* directors, and they were also responsible for writing the entire story together.…
Thank you ! I hope many people here will see your comment. Tired of lazy people here constantly repeating the same things, when Inu Baek was the first name that appeared as director for this show, along with Du Plessis.
Didn’t it already air in Korea tho? I think they know what they’re talking about 😭
Nope, not everyone. ;) I wrote several time that personally I also feel that it is just assumption from some people here (and their brains are going kind of crazy...). While watching the show, everything they pointed out were references to Jae Won's little brother for me. Before reading the comments here I never thought that it will have a sad ending. I don't understand from where all that comes from. But I'm fine with both potential ends actually, as I like sad romance stories. I don't understand people that judge or change their judgement based on the ending of a story only. If you like everything before, it means it's a good show. Of course the ending can be disappointing, but it doesn't erase everything felt before while watching.
When "Alien" meets "Battle Royal". The intrigue has a lot of potential but the execution isn't the best I think. Too many caricatural (and stupid) characters I think. And the cast here needs to be reviewed, main and support roles aren't well distributed.
My expectations were low but the first episode was actually good. BONA's character, I can already guess, I will…
Yes he did, and yes, from the first episode, it seems that he is what you described as a "morally gray character", with, of course, all the justifications given to excuse is bad behaviours (happy ending for the trial, death of his mother, and probably more).
What kind of sageuk are we flooded with in recent times?
Exactly what I wrote, sageuk that mix everything (mainly rom-com, with heavy comedic and dramatic parts), but in a very unbalanced way, at least for me. And all with very similar settings, tropes and clichés. Some are better than others, and thank God there are still other sageuk with more serious and interesting stories, but since few years now it's mainly these mildly interesting sageuk, with few exceptions.
Well, unfortunately it's again the same kind of sageuk that we are flooded with since recent times... mixing everything, but very unbalanced, and for me, that really doesn't make it. I'd have prefer a totally comedic sageuk, it would have been different at least, instead of this constant change of registers during the episode (comedic, dramatic, comedic, romantic, dramatic, comedic, etc.). Also, I'm not a fan of the filming of some scenes, many shootings are really weird (too much drones probably). It's not bad at all though, it's nice to see Do Hwan in this refreshing role, he is flawless, and the acting is good overall. It's also interesting that it is centred on law. It will be a nice rom-com probably, but a very poor sageuk for me.
He mentioned his little brother at some point and then stopped all of the sudden, he also seems like he has a…
For me that's it, this is the obvious conclusion from what we saw in the first two episodes every time there was a reference to Jae Won's little brother. I don't understand why people just jumped on the conclusion that it will have a sad ending, with Ji Hyun drowning. We never know, the future will tell us. But people are too gloomy, be positive, come on. ^^
It's really just speculation from you. All the drowning references correspond to Jae Won's little brother, not Ji Hyung, for me. So there is nothing certain from what you pointed. But we will know when the next episodes are out. ;)
Noooooo I didn't know that... It's that one trope that I avoid the most, I can tolerate much but this thing is…
Yes, I'm sure it still worth it for Do Hwan. ;) He will show a good side of his talents with this role. His character seems interesting. Hopefully Bona's character cross-dressing is a minor part of the show and don't ruin the story. Otherwise I'll be so disappointed, especially because it's Do Hwan's comeback drama after his military service (I really wished his other drama aired first...).
Wouah, finally, not just few minutes that always feel too short but we got a proper, normal-like drama centred on a male romance. So refreshing and so nice !
Kim Gyu Vin has the charisma of a clamshell, I'm happy his ranking finally dropped. He isn't outstanding for his vocals or dance skills, just "average". He was in the Top10 for so long because of his looks it seems (even though I don't find him handsome so I don't get why he was so popular). But the fact that he got first place for the "En Garde” performance instead of Gun Wook still baffles me.
These two are so sweet and cute together. Lee Seung Gyu and Lee Jong Hyuk did a terrific job for these roles ! Perfect for the kisses and the pecks. I think episode 7 and the first part of episode 8 were a little bit messy, with unnecessary miscommunication, compared to the rest of the story, so it's not perfect for me, but stil a solid 9,5/10 for me. And I'm really look forward to future roles for both of them, because they look like really promising actors.
Wouah, it will be messy next week ! But it's inevitable after all. And it's a Korean romance drama. ^^ But considering he is very understanding and so in love with Woo Joo, I think Dong Jin will understand Woo Joo's motivations and actions, and forgive her in the end.
Why the mother is so mad? i mean is it the kids fault? i don't think so.
She is angry because she is sad for what happened to her children without knowing anything, that's quite a common reaction for some people, and especially for Koreans. And also probably because, as it was hinted in the last episodes, the house was divided in three parts for them, so they should not have been robbed by Hee Ja, who just scammed them and put their family in more misery after all she had already done in the past.
I guess, Ji Gu know that Dong Jin is Ha Jee's son, but he doesn't much about Ha Jee. Ji Gu said that he hadn't…
The character's name is Hee Ja. ;) And yes, that's it. He knows Dong Jin is her son, but he don't know that she was the former mistress and new wife of his late father.
I'm on episode 10, I just don't understand why the mom lives separately and now came back and is angry with the…
Everything was explained during the show. The mother left because she had a cancer and was being treated in the countryside. So when they were kicked out of the house they didn't want to tell her right away to not worry her (and probably because Woo Joo thought she could take the house back), but Hye Seong was supposed to inform their mother at some point, but didn't, so the mother discovered everything when she came back for Woo Woo's birthday. There is more but wait to watch episodes 11 and 12.
But I'm fine with both potential ends actually, as I like sad romance stories. I don't understand people that judge or change their judgement based on the ending of a story only. If you like everything before, it means it's a good show. Of course the ending can be disappointing, but it doesn't erase everything felt before while watching.
