It's been so great seeing how far Lee Soo Hyuk has come since I first watched him in White Christmas more than 10 years ago. Always delivers in every role. Hope to see him be the headliner in a drama soon. He deserves it.
He's only been in two Netflix dramas though? And he's not even the lead in one of them.
Only Sweet Home and Love Alarm are Netflix-produced series. Navillera, Nevertheless and Forecasting Love and Weather are not produced by Netflix. They just have the rights to distribute the dramas to certain territories around the world.
Tags say fast past romance, comments say slow burn...?? Which is it lol ??
Fast Paced romance because the main couple get together very early in the series. But the series is a slowburn because the story centers around how they manage and maintain their relationship and overcome all the hurdles. Showing them trying to balance their work/careers with their personal lives and getting over their past relationships, etc.
He has always played nice, good guys. So it was fun seeing him in a not-so-nice role on MPD. He is such a versatile actor. Whether it's in musicals or romcoms or crime thrillers or drama, he can do it all! Hope to see him in a lead role soon!
It's a very Western-style drama. It's the kind of concept that you'd see on say an American network. Think Lost or Manifest or Heroes. Or even something like Battlestar Galactica or Supernatural. That is, it has a premise that is very clearly developed to be a multi-season series. So, it piles question upon question before throwing in wild twists and turns in the hopes that they can somehow pull everything together in the end. You think it's going one way before it completely swerves into something else. And that's definitely uncommon for a Korean drama.
He needs to step up his game after he discharge. I don't know what was the problem, but his eyes mostly go for…
How could you say CITT was his most successful when it was universally disliked. At the very least, his most successful drama is probably "Are You Human?" Solid ratings and he won Best Actor at the KBS Drama Awards.
I am also disappointed in 'Forecasting Love and Weather' but 'When the Weather is Fine' is one of my all time…
I just finished it and it actually is a very similar vibe. The slowburn type of character drama with a large ensemble cast of characters who are dealing with life, basically. When the Weather is Fine has the edge for me because of its provincial setting and more heartwarming moments though.
This is slow burn drama. To those who can’t stand this type better don’t watch
I like slow burn dramas and was pleasantly surprised that it actually kept quite a steady pace throughout. I found myself not fast forwarding through any parts. Which I've done a lot more, even for shows I enjoyed more than this one.
The basics are similar. Including initial story and even having two main couples. Both are romcoms, but I think this one has a bit more heart and emotional moments. Especially because of the ML's medical condition which is real.
