- And it started off so well ... poof ... really well; it actually kept me hooked at the beginning, but ... from the halfway point, it became super, super chaotic—it was all over the place ... I think it could have been shorter, strictly considering the script as it stands ... otherwise, it certainly could have been developed further, but ... it felt like it dragged on a bit towards the end ...
- Even though I get that So Ji Sub is great at action—somehow, in both *Mercy for None* and *Agent Kim Reactivated*, he’s this melancholy - SAD, physically super-capable guy; he’s the best, and no one can hurt him because, effectively, no one else has mastered martial arts or combat the way he has—I mean, come on ...
I don't understand why so many people are so annoyed by the opening credits that were made with AI???? who the hell gives so much importance to an opening credits??? like WTF??? are you watching the movie or the opening credits????? for a BL series this series is really good - they tried harder than the usual - ........ we see each other, we like each other, but the world won't let us, and it takes us a century to kiss each other ........ - finally a BL with more mature characters ... that it could have been a little more developed, that's something else ............... the idea is that it has potential, the actors played well - they are quite young, so it seems to me that they really got into their roles well ... it's clear that they were invested in the series ... I really don't understand why this opening credits caused so much visual discomfort - it actually doesn't matter
they did well with this series
(And I’ve seen people in the comments saying it resembles *Secret Relationships*??? In what world does it resemble that??? They really have absolutely nothing to do with each other.)
Great movie, beautifully acted!!!! But the look on Young-woo's face at the very end—right after his manager closed the car door and he was left alone—really makes me think that he had genuine feelings for Jae-ha and wanted revenge because Jae-ha hadn't owned up to his own feelings. The younger guy was reckless enough to want to acknowledge the relationship, but the older (or more experienced one ) realized there was no way to live as a gay man in those times, so he chose the safe path. Is that right? Is it wrong? Who knows? It’s just the reality of the past—the reality of an extremely conservative country. Unfortunately, it’s a matter of survival in the society you live in ... it is what it is ................ but they both definitely had feelings.
So ... just the fact that it's based on a true story ... *phew*... I have to say this series frustrated me to no end; at one point, I was so exasperated by Cha Si-yeong's mindset and behavior—oh my God—I needed breaks just to process it all... but unfortunately, that’s how so many cases were handled and resolved in the past, all over the world—not just in Korea, sadly... - the actors' performances were absolutely wonderful—truly extraordinary. They conveyed everything they needed to; they were amazing. You can see a massive difference—like night and day—in their acting compared to *Chimera*. - They have really grown as actors.
So, I found out about "Chimera" after watching the series "The Scarecrow".......... and honestly, I had pretty much the same expectations as I did for "The Scarecrow"................ but unfortunately ... that wasn't the case ................ in my opinion, this series—"Chimera"—was way too subdued; I mean, even during tense moments, I felt absolutely nothing (unlike with "The Scarecrow," where I got incredibly frustrated). Also, I sort of expected the "Chimera"—the killer himself—to be someone special, someone significant; but either I didn't get the point, or they didn't ... it just seems like nowadays anyone can be the Chimera—everyone... anyone... three Chimeras ... four Chimeras .... I mean, what is that all about? ... and the way they introduce romantic elements only to leave them hanging drives me crazy—what was the point of watching them flirt and then ... poof... it all just vanished... I really had high hopes ...
this was the kind of kdrama that you can't help but watch, even though you know it's not complicated, it's extremely funny .................. i just liked it ....... you literally can't help but watch and smile
omg! .... this k-drama is really funny ... at least I laugh at every episode, and the plane scene - I died laughing ....................... but Heo Nam Jun's hairstyle is literally killing me - oh my god! who the hell is the hairstylist, it's terrible - he does his hair like it's a cap, awful ... it actually sometimes distracts me from the drama itself --------------- His hair is drama-TIC
I didn't expect this drama to be so funny... it caught me by surprise .... and I really like that the main actors actually have chemistry .... and even though Heo Nam Jun has the face of a serious man, or a face for a devilish or evil role, he also looks good in a comical - romantic role
aaaaaaaaa .............. and everyone was amazed at how they filmed the moment when I-NA grabbed Seong Hui Ju by the waist ........... but no one said that when the poor guy felt a bit of skin and immediately withdrew his hand from her skin to her blouse :))))))))))))))))))))) ......... and the sounds were much hotter - the sound of the kiss was actually loud - it seemed much hotter to me than how he tried to touch her blouse
SO ... the scene where Grand Prince Yi An takes his - finally I could say - grandson in his arms and tells him to come to him whenever he's scared, it was so beautiful + the eyes of Byeon Woo Seok at that moment were of a rare beauty - you could say they were made of glass or porcelain - very beautiful shots of Byeon Woo Seok's face - I mean honestly - pretty much the whole series focuses on the shots of Byeon Woo Seok - ------------- and yet ------------ and yet I can't help but be attracted to PM - there's something about him, I don't know - as much as I should hate him, I actually can't :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) - he is hot
I didn't expect the main actors to have such good chemistry (I've seen her many times and she really didn't manage to create any magic, but I see that Gong Myung brings out the best in her) ..... and the song at the end really completed the whole scene - it was absolutely perfect for their first moment ...... and I like the direction this drama is going - it's not the classic rich man courting a virgin girl ... I like that they both have past relationships
Whaat??!! To me Ian’s & Huiju’s waltz was so dreamy❤️But I agree that QM and PM suits together.
if you look closely, you will clearly notice the dance dynamics - including the intensity, the fluidity - as I said, they say in the movie that they didn't like the dance lessons - surely that's why they had a robotic dance, but when ML dances with Queen Mother it actually changes completely, the dance is absolutely fluid, perfect, intense ......... there is a clear difference between the dance - but that's also from the script and the need to differentiate the relationship - the relationship with Seong Hui Ju is at the beginning, so the dance is awkward, but in front of Queen Mother it can only be perfect - but the difference is clear - and yet - the Queen Mother was absolutely stunning in that blue dress - there was no way he couldn't be perfect
- Even though I get that So Ji Sub is great at action—somehow, in both *Mercy for None* and *Agent Kim Reactivated*, he’s this melancholy - SAD, physically super-capable guy; he’s the best, and no one can hurt him because, effectively, no one else has mastered martial arts or combat the way he has—I mean, come on ...
