It took me 7 episodes to finally decide YJG was definitely not the right fit for the role. And also what is his role really? I know he is meant to ‘save’ MW but how? Am I too impatient? I feel no genuine chemistry among the two. I’d rather have the Captain come back with his face (even though I hate all the reincarnation bullshit!)
IU is doing a fine job though. Her wardrobe is beyond AMAZING and I am throughly enjoying her acting. Now, SHE is a good fit.
Anyway I am just watching to count how many outfits she changes in one episode and those little ‘ghost whisperer’ type stories…nah I change my mind. I am watching just for the clothes. The clothes.
I personally find that the age difference between the actors plays perfectly into the story. In some scenes (goodbye, KCS) he looks much younger than her — innocent of the cruel ways of the world — while she has this old-soul, harsh edge to her that completely embodies where their stand in the world… But as they start bickering all of a sudden they look a matched pair – he looks more mature, she younger somehow. It’s kind of magical.
[Or maybe the ghosts have wrecked my brain… unused to hold so many unpopular opinions on DB… I start to question why this works so well for me while many people whose opinions I respect hate it.]
Aww. Don’t feel bad! Not everyone has to agree. We can still be friends with different opinions 🙂 I am not hating it really. Ep 1 gave me the Adams Family vibe and I loved it! It’s just that it is not making me super interested anymore. Like I said I concentrate on the clothes and play games on my phone for the rest of it 😬

I’m enjoying YJG in this role and the story (so far).
The wardrobe is a star in itself. I’d like one of everything please as well as the full time team they must have for her fingernails.
This role was really made for IU, wasn’t it?

The nails are to die for! And I always imagine the time spent on her nails.

Lol, oh that feeling when you are watching something because you truly find it fun or entertaining and then realize everyone else is hate watching.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. Once he lowers his pitch and starts reasoning, she kinda shrinks a little 😂.
I love watching the two of them on screen and apparently so does most knetz and (older) cnetz. You have plenty of company.
