is it just me or has anyone been paying attention to the sounds that are put in? the ones that are part of do…
Yes, the sound is overdone, especially at the beginning. But I think it's brilliant, because people generally doesn't notice sound engineering in the movies! I've never even thought about it before watching this British horror (Berberian Sound Studio) and it was like a personal revelation :) So this how it's done. Celery.
It's like a tiny hommage to those people we don't see.
I love those meta bits in kdramas. When they show us how the setting is done or how actors tremble in their thin clothes and are wrapped in blankets and extra coats. Or how writters are treated. All the mockeries of product placement. How shots are taken in this bizzare way when a pair stands not exactly facing in each other (think The King of Dramas, when Siwon was making faces! edit: or how a kiss can be faked by clever positioning).
On plus side: Bonui finally looked decent in this white combo (but why does she sleep in it? Just in case someone came by in 4am?). If she makes all those clothes herself, it at least explains few things...
Tbh, that kiss was romantic and all, but I always feel uncomfortable when in dramas male lead kisses the girl…
Yeah... All that happens in last few eps makes me cringe. Only RJY keeps me watching, because the story itself is boring and cliche and I can't bring myself to care about anyone but Suho and his assistant. The initial nonsense with superstitions was nothing compared to this. Bonui is my most disliked type of female character, with her noble idiocy, unnecessary self sacrifice and making everyone around her waiting for her reply (and worse, when given, assume it's not valid, because she doesn't think straight - enter kiss). I really hate watching this push and pull game. It gives a great disfavour to the whole "no means no" thing.
(And really, cleaning the corridors in hospital? How exactly does it help her sister to wake up? I never once heard her discussing therapy, looking for medical solutions, anything. She just checks up with nurses. And talking to people in coma is a thing. If I were her sister, I'd wake up really pissed up.)
Plus, I'm kinda dissapointed LSH's character is such a lousy second lead. I honestly liked him better even when he was a manipulative jerk with no morals in High School King of Savvy. As someone has already said before, he's such a cockblocker in this story. Whimpy little thing with pretenses and high expectations.
Maybe next time.
Yay, I'm so hyped right now. Park Shin Hye is different then usual. Lee Sung Kyung is different then usual. Kim Young Ae is different then usual. I'm going to take a leap of faith and assume if someone is able to cast actors outside their little labels, it's going to be worth watching.
on viki people are complaining that the male lead is unattractive. I get that he might not be everyone's cup of…
not to mention his past love experience makes him extremely cautious and him throwing a fit about being treated instrumentally hits home. I find him a very well thought out character. The way his past shapes his vulnerabilities is logical. I mean, he's clearly not a machine and I think RYJ plays it well.
I got bored with usual chebol nonsense and 2nd lead who smiles too much. After watching Reply 1988 this love triangle seems so silly. I guess it's as far as NGM being cute can get me.
I may dislike the actress (or the persona she usually plays), but I'll give her this: her dramas are good, one…
Give it a try! She still plays a quirky person, but seems much calmer compared to KMHM or that last one about beauty magazine.
Now I'm really biased for Ryu Joon Yeol (but still not enough to remember what comes frst - Y or J...) and LSH, so I would recommend it even if it was only for them.
Lol @ people always asking for season 2. What kdramas in a whole history of kdrama ever got second season (variety shows and franchise like Reply series, I Need Romance or Dream High doesn't count - we're talking about continuation of the same storyline and characters, not reusing the concept)? Maybe a few if any.
I may dislike the actress (or the persona she usually plays), but I'll give her this: her dramas are good, one of a few rewatchable I found so far. Even if I'm irritated with her initially, I almost never skip her parts, which says a lot, because I have dramas I love, but if I was to rewatch them, I would skip almost every scene with female lead.

The best part of this drama was watching Sukjong showing his charisma
now that he's gone I'm afraid this trainwreck of a plot won't go far without his charisma. I still can't decide whether Lee In Jwa is brilliant or really delluded and whether this drama actually has a plan. And how did this sickly Crown Prince make so far? One thing for sure - not a predictible drama.
Struggling to watch ep 20.
