The factual statement also is that it is an adaptation.

Jin Soo Wan has written masterpieces such as Moon Embracing the Sun, Chicago Typewriter (also time travel), and many more. Korean history. Pls your references just show a profound ignorance. I don't remember when a comment has actually made this angry. It's rule not to react to k-drama newcomers. But respect Jim Soo Wan who is an outstanding writer and quit with an assumption that k-drama copies Hollywood crap.

It's such a pity because these writers are the very best. Arthdal Chronicles could easily have been the greatest k-drama ever if it had been executed as the writers planned.

The last two episodes (5-6) have been fantastic. 9.5 from me. The way that Tagon's past comes to haunt him is particularly impressively made and acted. All the more so considering Jang Dong Gun waited for the full 4 years to continue as Tagon. But I'm thinking that 12 episodes are not enough. Hope there are more seasons to come. I'm pretty sure that Arthdal Chronicles was from the beginning planned and written as a 50 eps drama.

yes, his role is bigger than a mere guest role

his love for Yoon shows. this is the best kind of subtle execution

It is not considered plagiarism. I posted this because people claim that it's automatically plagiarism if we consider it an adaptation. The conclusion is that re-interpretation or adaptation is indeed not plagiarism.

It took a while to accept the fact that Joseon is now in the wild west. (But when I thought about Kurosawa's Seven Samurais, it started to make sense). This is not as deep and realistic as Mr. Sunshine but definitely worth watching. The great Yoo Jae Myung is very impressive in his role, as is Kim Nam Gil. Lee Ho Jung deserves a new actor award for sure. The music is very loud which makes the need to adjust the volume constantly. Cinematography is awesome.

4 rude kids blocked. They think this is a fansite. Moving is unbelievably and ridiculously overrated. But it's for the 15-17 year olds. good for them.

you're very right. I was thinking the same thing yesterday and checked back to earlier works by the same writer. Seems they're pretty similar. What worked in 2011 is not working now. I remember being just as frustrated with the FL in 100 Days My Prince.

There's an article in KoreaJongAngDaily about how My Dearest is an adaptation of Gone With Wind. Adaptation is not the same as plariagism. And those who claim it's not an adaptation can put their swords down because it so clearly is. https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2023-09-20/entertainment/television/My-Dearest-gets-real-drama-with-viewer-comparisons-to-Gone-with-the-Wind/1874153

it gets more interesting in ep 3 but still not the compelling masterpiece it's claimed to be. in my opinion.

The history part (Qing invasion and closely follows real events) is interesting. BUT: this is an adaption of Gone With the Wind so the main characters are very atypical compared to any other sageuk. I can't empathize with them, which kills any beauty there might be otherwise (currently watching Jang Ok Jung and loving it).

a very good question. that's something we definitely didn't need

I felt the unease in his acting also in AoS. But MLL really called for character growth, he should have talked things out with the mother at least, how can a son not feel betrayed by her lack of faith in him

What a solid writer, I've liked all the dramas she's written. Page Turner, Pinocchio and Start-Up in particular. Very much looking forward to Castaway Diva!

glad someone else noticed it too. it's almost cruel to have such a shy person trying to be an actor. In the interactions with senior actors he first looked down and then braced himself to say his lines.

that's a relief. PGM is not my fave either but hoping for a great outcome for both. I agree about the chemistry with Na In Woo.
