Finally was able to watch back-to-back episodes and the plot is a lot of fun.However, what's with all the PR posters…
South Korea does âcouple-likeâ photoshoots and posters like this for all kinds of relationships. Queen Mantis (mother-son), ONE High School Heroes (two male friends, not a BL), Study Group (two female friends, not a GL), B!tch x Rich 2 (two female frenemies, not a GL), Karma (enemies), Wedding Impossible (brothers), Perfect Crown (boss and secretary, not a GL), The Auditors (mentor and mentee auditors, not a BL), etc.
Why AI? Why????? - itâs bad enough AI has ruined social media - are studios really going to start making âsome…
Here are examples -
The centipede was AI. Before, CGI artists did the graphics art manually, with precise placements of pixels. CGI artists may get replaced slowly.
In a medical drama or say horror, a lot of the flesh stuff like wounds, stitches, etc. are done by special effects makeup artists (SFX). Organs are done by CGI or simple graphics. These artists may be replaced slowly too.
Intros require animators to create beautiful, heartfelt opening sequences. Some of our favourite intros were created by artists and CGI. These replaced by work created using AI feel a little less charming, they donât have the same appeal.
Music and OSTs, if replaced with AI generated music, may degrade in quality and we may lose the glorious OSTs that come with dramas, which is one of their many beloved traits.
Production companies will inevitably move towards AI and push it because itâs cheaper, atleast for now, until âAI artistsâ start charging as much as real artists. I understand itâs hard to compete with giant studios like Studio Dragon, but they need to know most people would rather take even mediocre dramas made with human passion and talent than lavish dramas lacking human creativity and effort in production and editing.
I'm really excited to see Yeeun and Jaewook. but, plotwise, i really hope they equally focus on the FL and don't…
I was pondering this too. I hope they focus on the FL and her trauma too (she was talking about scars on the phone and drinking quite a bit before departing). No âsunshiney girl fixes troubled man and is passive in the storyâ treatment, please. I liked dramas like Hometown Cha Cha Cha because they focused on both ML and FLâs stories and issues.
The humour is good. Quite a few funny scenes, and Lee Jaewook and Shin Yeeunâs comedic expressions are good. The setting isnât that captivating yet. Romance feels a bit out-of-nowhere. I donât like the AI centipede, I need real centipedes who are paid for their work. Hong Mingi is cool but there wasnât much of him yet, I like his clothes in particular, very coastal rich boy. The first episode was an okay start, not super exciting but not too draggy either, letâs see how the next episodes go.
everyone is boasting about ML as an actor. I've never seen him before. I don't think. I will check out some of…
Lee Junyoung Works:
Villain Roles: Brave Citizen (movie), Class Of Lies, Deserter Pursuit (D.P), Weak Hero Class 2, Mask Girl.
Comedy Roles: Dreaming Of A Freaking Fairytale, Pump Up The Healthy Love.
Emotional Acting: When Life Gives You Tangerines, May I Help You, Imitation, Melo Movie.
You May Or May Not Like: Love & Leashes (movie) (this is where I found him and personally I enjoyed it, it depends on your views), The Impossible Heir (very little screen time and the drama isnât worth the watch, but his villain acting was great). His Melo Movie character is a bit depressing.
My Personal Picks For Quick Watches: Brave Citizen, May I Help You, Dreaming Of A Freaking Fairytale.
I want to add I love the female leads in these dramas (except The Impossible Heir but in that drama he has a cool sister). Most of the FLs are strong and sassy, and the actors are great!
Theory: In the past, CEO Kang struggled and was not favoured by his father or siblings. But he cared about the company more than anyone, and actually valued what his father built, and ran the business with care and dedication. He also favoured his two older kids and let them get away with everything and covered up their crimes because he did not want to be like his father, but it backfired. However, his youngest, Kang Banggeul (FL), is like him, and actually cares about him and the company. He will slowly realise this in intern Junhyeonâs body, and realise he has not been favouring his good child over those two snakes and is repeating history.
That male twin is going to crack and switch sides at some point. He already seems unwilling and flabbergasted at times seeing the female twinâs overly cruel actions.
sure, "hating". So you really think that ML (older man) has a good personality that makes someone sympathize…
Do people not understand character growth and development anymore? Unlikeable characters can grow through experiences and become more humane and empathetic. Is this your first ever viewing of a fictional story?
Wow, that was an insanely good first episode! I hope they can keep up the momentum in the next episodes, looks like a fun and worthwhile watch.
This drama is reminding me of Seo Kangjoonâs drama âAre You Human Too?â where a sweet boy is suddenly thrown in place of a cruel chairman, with electric cars and similar family politics.
Hwang Junhyeon đđ His story was so heartbreaking to watch. Sweet boy just wanted to play soccer. Iâm interested to see how actor Son Hyunjoo plays him!
Iâve already seen Lee Junyoung in sassy and evil roles as well as comedy, so itâs going to be familiar, but he did really well in the emotional scenes.
Jeon Hyejin and Jin Goo (the twins actors) are so charismatic! The twins are so evil but the actors are so cool. I feel like we donât see them enough, last I saw them was in âNot Othersâ and âThe Auditorsâ. Iâm happy I get to watch them in this drama.
Am I the only one ehm affected by the Cambodian businessman guy? The way he fought through getting a finger cut…
If you like him and want to watch another thriller, you can try Hide. Heâs a very quiet but villainous bodyguard there. Though, if you didnât watch Goldland due to disinterest, you probably wonât like Hide either.
Same-Age Parent-Child Relationship: 18 Again, Twinkling Watermelon.
I love how petty Yeeunâs character is, she was HOLDING ON to that âdonât cross the lineâ comment!
