Kinda have a feeling that they are gonna somehow redeem the stalker? Like the last scene in ep8 when they turn…
I hope the stalker is not going to be redeemed, no matter his backstory, he’s still a terrible person. He still potentially killed Eunjung’s sister and is Dahyun’s stalker.
The interview transitioned into talking about Park Eun Bin’s latest work “Extraordinary Attorney Woo.” She explained that at first, she was worried about taking on the role. She said, “I was a bit afraid if I’d be able to pull it off without hurting or offending anyone.” She continued, “It’s my first genius-type character, and Young Woo is also on the autism spectrum. I think I thought about what is considered to be normal when taking on this role. What is it to be weird, what is it to be abnormal, and are normal people really normal?”
Wrapping up the interview, Park Eun Bin said, “I’ve seen about six episodes worth of the edited ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo.’ There’s an art to it. The director even said that although it’s a drama we filmed together and that he made, it’s still fun no matter how many times he watches it. Even the editor compared it to being ‘the vaccine of the era.’ It was so nice to have them say this, knowing that they’ve produced great works before. [It is great] to know that what I felt while reading the script wasn’t wrong and that the piece is headed in the right direction. Since I feel like I’m on a ship with a steadfast captain, I’m on an enjoyable voyage.”
Unpopular opinion but I’ve enjoyed each episode. Although, Gyehoon not opening up to Dahyun + “humanism” is getting repetitive, I feel like it’s realistic…it’s not like his trauma will go away after falling in love, it’s something he’ll have to work on…
All of my favorite dramas that I mentioned in the article are available on Youtube.Journey to the West: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIj4BzSwQ-_sfc7l2xm1wQswAd5jqrrDSPrincess…
Thank you for the links. A Dream of Red Mansions (1987) and New Legend of Madame White Snake (1992) look really beautiful too.
Thanks for the link. According to Wikipedia the oldest wuxia film is The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple (1928),…
I hope The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple (1928) is found one day, it looks like a fun film.
It’s amazing how “the craze of the film series eventually led the Kuomintang to ban all wuxia films by the early 1930s, this was because wuxia was thought to be instilling anarchy and rebellion.”
Super interesting article. I recently saw that Judge of Song Dynasty (2005) was the officially English subtitled on YouTube, the drama sounds really good (same with the other dramas mentioned).
