I am completely heartbroken for the cast and crew. Bang GeulYi should step up and try to make hard decision to save this show. Given that Ravi will have to leave for the army soon, the best probably is to add more members.
I do not even mind keeping SH despite the controversy, but his squeaky clean good boy image clashing with the scandal will understandably make it awkward.
I am very sad, the members all love the show and expressed they desire to keep going. For most of them, this was their biggest entertainment break. Poor Jongmin specially.
OMG! TMOPB FANS, I just read an article today. It says that the 3rd official book is finally going to be adapted. The 3rd story is for MoYuan and ShaoYan (one of the ancient gods who perished after sacrificing herself). Those 3 ancients gods as you know are DongHua, MoYuan and this ShaoYan who hasn't appeared yet in any of the series. Now we know the reason why MoYuan has a soft spot for BaiQian because she looks like ShaoYan. Therefore, IT IS NOW RUMORED THAT MARK AND YANG MI WILL ALSO STAR IN THIS NEW SERIES! And of course Vengo Gao's DongHua will also come back as he is one of the main sidecharacter in this story. I'm super excited now and there is no other best way for YangMi and Mark to reunite but in this series!! ❤❤❤
I have seen many other dramas after this but nothing surpassed it so far. Look at how strong the ratings are, and to think this didn't even have a simultaneously release in Netflix back then.
Am I the only one who notice her fingers? I guess it because I also have the same thumbs😅. She also has BDD (brachydactyly type D)/ clubbed digits. Usually it's only the thumbs, but looking at her, it seems on her left hand all her fingers and thumb are clubbed. I'm glad she's not insecure about it and was willing to do a lot of close up with her hands. Amazing performance she has in My Name!
Choi Mujin's character is very interesting, I have to commend Park HeeSoon (the actor) for such an amazing job. He only has a few scenes where we get to see his pov and show emotions, and yet somehow it humanised him. I know he is the bad guy being a gang leader/drug lord and all (knowing what he did) but I still find myself trying to look from his perspective. He's a fiercely loyal character which makes any kind of betrayal sting even more. In his own way, he also did care about Jinwoo. I'm glad his character was not cartoonishly evil and flat.
Those few flashbacks with him, Donghoon and Taejoo could actually make a good storyline. They look like a pretty good bromance combination, the tough Moojin, comical Donghoon and aloof Taejoo. They could make a prequel about the rise to power of the gang. If only we didn't know it's all gonna end in tragedy. :(
Okay since I read the webtoon why do I feel like AHS doesn’t suit the role. I love AHS but this role is I don’t…
Yes. As a fan of the webtoon, I was also disappointed with the casting. Nothing against AHS, but he really doesn't fit how TaeMu was depicted in the manhwa. Let's just hope we'll be pleasantly surprised. But this really did dampen my excitement for this adaptation.
I wished they just wrapped up GiHun's story or left it open for excitement. Like they could cut on his final scene and make audience guess if he boarded the plane or not. This way if they change the maincast on season 2, they can put a cameo of him in the US. Or they could still continue on his story. I don't really know if season 2 script is done, but I prefer new players. The police and frontman story will probably unfold on season 2. I don't think frontman would give his kidney to his brother to just kill him like that. And yes, I'm proud I figured out the old man from early on.lol
I am currently watching Ancient Love Poetry and decided to revisit AoL page here. TMOPB is what got me into Chinese drama, it's one of my all time favorite but if I would be fair and rank all the Cdramas I have seen, Ashes of Love is the best. Everything about this is perfect. I love not just the romance and angst but also the complexity of the 3 main characters. There is so much good content and intellectual discussions about the analysis of characters like Run Yu. I hope I find something on this drama level again.
I just finished watching the movie version. There it was told that his parents died in car accident and he became…
That's already a reason itself but I do hope they add more into the drama version. Him being scared of abandonment doesn't exactly fit SeonHo's Dusik potrayal.
It looks like it was his wife and kid. Someone just posted on FB some photos from behind the scenes and Du Sik…
Yeah, that's also one of my other theories. But I feel like it's not what the writer would choose as somehow for me him being not able to moveon from his dead wife and kid doesn't fit the tone of the drama and might diminish the romance between him and HyeJin. Probably he personally knew the family and either accidentally killed them or he wasn't able to save them. This also adds a complexity to his character, remember when everyone was dismissing any negative theories about him, this adds a not so spotless layer to him.
My other theory is that he is probably sick, or maybe losing his eyesight soon that's why he loves taking pictures and appreciating his view.
I had a lot of theories about what happened to DuSik on that 5 yr period, but based on Episode 6 I do think he accidentally killed a family. Clues : Talk about self driving cars, maybe it is not a reference to StartUp. Maybe it was a car accident. Also we do not see him driving outside the town.
That photo, it could be the family portrait of the family he accidentally killed.
The nightmares, that bloody hand was probably the father in the family. Guilt manifestation in his dreams.
Maybe DuSik promised to live the rest of his life in service of others as a form of atonement.
I'm so far on ep7. The beginning same as usual lakorns are kinda cringey, specially when you are not used to them. But later on, I now find myself laughing out loud, it's ridiculous and dumb but it's funny when you just accept it haha Editors have also been using these free youtube soundeffect, but they do work to create the wacky atmosphere. The drug addict scheme is so hilarious.
When she's her normal self she looks like Shin SeKyung, when she's disguised as Faidam the resemblance to Yaya and Fonthip is really uncanny. I can't wrap my head around it.haha
Ik-Jun's eyebrows are so distracting, looks like they were heavily drawn with pencil.haha But he's still my favorite character, the fun and positive energy he always bring is amazing.
I do not even mind keeping SH despite the controversy, but his squeaky clean good boy image clashing with the scandal will understandably make it awkward.
