seeing how this drama has so many haters but still has a 9/10 rating makes me feel good. Giving it less than a…
Well, the writer did give a nod to the laser focus of the villain trying to kill the leads when she had them bring up The Terminator VHS tape at the video store. The psycho villain is this story's Terminator. It's intentional.
Jang Hyun is the writer. There was an article that she said won a writing competition with this script. Not sure…
Thanks for her name! It allowed me to search for an article to confirm she is the writer so I could request to add her here. Hopefully, the mods will approve it soon.
Wonder how the rating is in S.Korea but I just thought 12 episodes seem pretty short when its usually 16+ for…
Since each episode was an hour and 20 minutes long times 12 episodes, the series is 16 hours long. They made the individual episodes longer so they could it be done sooner. But it's the same length as 16 episode series.
Loved this! 9/10 though the leads' chemistry is 10/10! What in the hell are y'all taking about no romance?! This show lived and breathed romance when there weren't immediate battles. (And it had way more romance than say The Double.) Their love confessions and last minute obstacles had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Great comeuppance for our villains. I was afraid this would go south towards the end and instead it got better. I will be rewatching!
It's actually "Gyeonuwa Seonnyeo," translating to Gyeon u's fairy or Gyeon woo with fairy. However, Google…
So the 견우와 직녀 (Gyeonuwa jingnyeo) "Gyeonu and Jiknyeo" story is the The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl story. And in this version of the story, they only can meet once per year per the magical magpie bridge.
The Fairy and the Woodcutter is sadder. They are separated, reunited in the heavenly realms for a long time, and then are separated permanently when the man returns to earth.
With a bright and cheery title sequence, I don't think this show is going to do the sad or bittersweet endings.
The Korean title is 'The Cowherd and the Fairy'. It looks like this really is loosely based off of the Asian folktales The 'Cowherd' and the Weaver Girl & The 'Fairy' and the Woodcutter. In both of those stories, the lovers are star-crossed and end up being separated by the heavens. Then the man desperately tries to find her again and they are eventually reunited.
