Okay - episode 11: I came for Namkoong and stayed for him.

But my God! The cop work in this show deserves awards.

Jong Seo in a historical drama (saeguk) is like watching …let’s say the gladiator and seeing them serve in & out burgers at dinner. What I mean to say is the girl has gotten so much work done on her face, the eyelids, the cheeks and jaw, the artificial looking veneers and lip fillers, it will be jarring to see a period piece with a woman who clearly looks like she is pretty done up. And that’s the same issue I had with Queen Woo. A more natural looking Korean actress would have been a better choice. But hey, she can act. She is daring in her choices. She can probably construct a character look with the team that might transform her into a believable joeson era Jurchen woman living in the wilds.

If I were you I’d be regular with my medication before coming online and shut it. 🤡

Is English not your first language? Seems to be so. Cos you are reading the text in my comments and coming up with fairytales of participation in online lynching and Korean cancel culture. Sit your ass down and smoke less of whatever you’re on. You seem to be weaving a plethora of fiction in the text that I have written that I have not mentioned or intended. Take good medicine or better yet, learn English, maybe? Cos you’re reading things that I haven’t written.

Not important enough for me to go down the rabbit hole, honestly. But it piqued my curiosity and that’s why I’m asking someone who can cut to the chase for me. You don’t wanna do it then don’t engage with my comment in the first place. And if there’s a follow up then don’t throw a tantrum. Stop assuming everyone comes here on MDL with some agenda or already preconceived notions or knowledge of the bowels of the Korean entertainment industry. Especially regarding someone as inconsequential as Jisoo Kim

And what was the outcome?

If the allegations weren’t true he should have sued the anonymous person making those claims. Take them to court. He didn’t. Not sure why.

His performance was pretty diluted in season 1. Hyun Bin was the center of gravity acting wise in S1.,

You’re wrong. Yes the statement mentions no name of any particular talent but Doh Kyung-soo was the only one out of all the actors on the Blitzway roster who reshared it on his IG Story. No other talent reshared this statement on their socials. So yes, the agency didn’t name any names. But he was the only one who reshared it on his IG stories. So you are the one misleading here. lol something happened related to him specifically.

What happened?

I hope it’s well written. I am aching for something well written out of Korea this year, as it’s been a particularly low season in terms of writing. The cast is mint. I don’t expect less from them cos they are all very intelligent actors.

My opinion is mine. Yours is yours. If you feel strongly about your opinion then just hold on to it. There is no need to tell someone there opinion is invalid or not right. An opinion is not a fact. It’s just a position you and I have taken based on our frame of reference and taste. If you think this guy is “adorable”, good for you. Don’t come at me with it. I’m not interested nor did I ask to know if you find him adorable.

You know, you must be right. But in all honesty I have only seen this guy in two shows - When The Weather Is Fine (with Park Min Young) and his Cameo in Boyfriend On Demand. And frankly speaking, I don’t even think he’s a serious actor. He’s forgettable and mid. And therefore, his look or anything didn’t even register to me. I haven’t seen the show you are talking about. So it must be the case as you say. The girl, however, she’s a good actor. And I keep an eye out on her projects. That’s why I only noticed her and commented on her. (Shrugs) the guy is forgettable and basic as an actor.

In Siren’s Kiss, the ex-detective was too good being a police detective while his actual job was Insurance Fraud Investigator 😂

I feel such agony at how they have wasted the time of an actor like Namkoong Min on a script that’s badly written and a director who didn’t know what he was doing. But then again, no one forced him to do it, I guess. He signed on to this project himself. Oh well.

I feel no sympathy for the wife’s character. I really don’t.

I can feel it in my bones that this show’s writing has AI involved. 😂

The product placement with the whole damn box on a tray is diabolical. 😂😂😂 I laughed so hard.

The director is on a roll of making this show a caricature. A mother load of bad ideas.

Mr and Mrs Weirdo’s sob story is as badly written. lol nope, no thanks.

Okay wait a minute, the wife has issues with the husband that he’s been talking to a therapist?

Now she suddenly wants to be a wife. Didn’t we start the show with the husband trying to be a partner and the wife shutting him out. Now she suddenly wants to be let in. 😒 I mean, just divorce her. Why keep this marriage even. It’s irretrievably broken. Just get on with it.
