I’ve watched three of her shows so far: Family Matters, Kingdom, and The Silent Sea. Her character in all three shows were exactly the same, a woman going through a hard time that can’t afford being happy.
Her acting is the same in all three shows. If you pick Yeong Su from Family Matter and put her in Kingdom as Seo Bi, nothing will change, same applies to the other two.
She portrays these three characters perfectly, so it’s not like she’s lacking. But all three characters are almost the same, they can be interchanged.
I need to watch a show where she’s different and is lively. Otherwise, I’ll keep thinking her acting is soulless and the same. Of course, she’s a big star and she’s successful, so she can’t be bad, so I need to pick a different show.
I absolutely loved it that every time that US politician came on screen, the background music immediately turned to 🇺🇸 🦅 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅
It was nice being a part of this very chaotic comment section. I appreciate the people who were very respectful even when we had differing opinions. I’ll probably forget this drama after a couple of days and never come back to the comment section.
I looked forward to coming to this section after finishing each episode. I’ll probably never have the same experience on any other drama, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
This show’s biggest problem was that too many things happen off-screen. You’re just supposed to take everything…
Oh, and Jong Hui become a celebrity/actress or something of that sort, in case you didn’t catch it. She says “the broadcast was delayed,” and you’re just supposed to accept that too without seeing a proof of it.
Did anyone felt heartbroken seeing Jeong Bun and Ho Suk ignoring Jong Hui when she came to their house making…
Yes. That ate me up too. They really were good friends during their Cheong Ah days. With how the story unfolded, it clearly showed that the girls did not know it was Jong Hui’s mother who instigated all this. So, without knowing that, they were indirectly blaming Jong Hui for what happened to Yeong Rye. I mean, they were ignoring her already when they didn’t know the actual reason. Sure, it’s not like they should’ve pampered Jong Hui when she came or started worshipping her. But you get what I mean right? They were already being harsh without knowing the background details. They were already being harsh when they thought that Jong Hui was a victim too. It just shows their one-sidedness.
This show’s biggest problem was that too many things happen off-screen. You’re just supposed to take everything that the writer says at face value. They never show how Jae Pil fell in love, how Hyeon fell in love, how Yeong Rye won Miss Seoul, how Jong Hui apologized to Yeong Rye, how the girls made up after that incident, how the Ko family shifted to Seoul, why the Bus attendants were living with the Ko family, along with the Kos, why did Ma Sang Cheol and the Hans decide to move with them, how Yeong Rye got into the college.
Sure, they throw a one-liner at your face. For example: Yeong Rye saying that Jong Hui gave her the scholarship. But how did that happen? That’s up to your imagination.
I was really enjoying watching it. I went in here with a ray of hope. A story about bus attendants felt so fresh and something you’ve never seen on screen. But after episode 6, this drama shot on its own knees.
Episode 6 was the best that happened to this show. I was literally giggling and smiling watching that episode. But after that, it became a test to my sanity.
Wow. So this writer has written Crash Course In Romance and Weightlifting Fairy - two dramas I’ve dropped or put on hold. No wonder, I am having a hard time watching this one too. Just one episode left and I’ll probably never jump in in any of her works.
Why is nobody talking about Yeong Rye winning Miss Seoul? The drama didn’t even show us how she won it. I can’t bring myself to believe that she won that competition. She has such a specific way of walking and talking. She stutters even when talking to Jae Pil, wears a question mark on her face, lacks visible confidence, blinks rapidly under pressure. Now, this does not diminish the character or I am not saying that she’s a bad person for having those traits. These traits just make her more human. But at the same time, these bring a disadvantage in pageant competitions. Pageants have a standard that’s very high.
This drama tried to explain how other contestants are “artificially polished” and how she is more “natural” so she should go for it. But I don’t buy that.
Perhaps, the writers and team thought it will not be convincing enough for them to be able to present Yeong Rye as a winner, so they skipped all of that and directly announced the winners.
Again, I am making it very clear that Yeong Rye doesn’t become a bad person for those traits or she doesn’t deserve anything because of all of those things or that Jong Hui should’ve automatically become Miss Seoul.
I am just not convinced that she became Miss Seoul. I need to see the evidence.
Despite that fact that JH always has stuff going south, she’s a really well written character. JH is really self aware. I can’t pick sides among the girls, but my heart aches for JH so much. JH already knows where she lacks, and she tries to understand what others are going through.
I hate that the writer seems to have some grudge with her. He’s given her the knowledge to understand, the brains to make a judgment, but not the situations to live a good life.

Until we meet again.

A 7.5 for me.
