Beanie level: Wrongly accused fugitive

I’m split on Moving.

Production is a plus. They obviously spent money in cast and design. But writing and editing are not tight. It doesn’t need 20 episodes. Flashbacks not in the right moment.

    There are too many characters, and they wanted us to emphatize in every one of them. It just doesn’t feel organic to me.

    Some good moments in the series.
    1. the happy ending. Can’t go wrong there. After all that fighting, I wanted smiles and love.
    2. Fighting and visual sfx scenes are cool.
    3. The cast. Jo In Sung just need to float in the air, and it would scream EPIC. Han Hyo Joo also bad ass. I only know her from 2D1N guesting, but she is excellent here. And everyone in the series did good, well maybe except Cha TaeHyun. Can’t believe his character still drives a bus. ☺️

      Yeah if was the HR of that bus company he would have been fired lol! Who destroys two buses and gets to keep his job?

      The only thing I could think of while watching Cha Tae Hyun scenes was “please don’t destroy another bus”.

      I think his real superpower is the ability to not get fired. Or maybe the ability to look exactly the same in every timeline (never getting old, or more like never getting young)?

        I like Cha Tae-hyun … Moving is making it hard to empathize with Bungaeman’s character.

        Only thing I can commend him for is giving another character – Jung Joon Hwa – a really cool thing to do with his hand / wrist in NK.

        2
        1

          Oh, don’t get me wrong. I love CTH.

          But I couldn’t connect with his character in a deep level like I did with the others. I couldn’t take him seriously.

          1
          1

            I love Cha Tae-hyun too … after all he not only acted in but also directed The Big Hit. He know he has what it takes. Therefore, it was little disheartening to see everyone get a good story arc – including the NK solider – but Bungaeman’s character was the only one which was meh.
            If we get a prequel or sequel I would hope for a more satisfying character arc for him.

Oooh Baeksang, that’s an excellent pick for Deasang TV. You normally don’t pick a younger person to win one.

Congratulations Park Eun-bin!! Well deserved!

Hmmm. I’m enjoying another rewatch, rather than watching new dramas. Last month as Misaeng. This time, Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. The leads are just too darn good. Directing top notch. Great OST too.

Baeksang loves Lee Byung Hun. They nominated him again. Every year, hes there. Was he good in that Our Blues drama? Have not seen it.

6

    His personal life aside, Lee Byung Hun is a great actor and portrays the nuisances required in all his roles. His performance in Our Blues is worth the nomination. Long before our seeing Kim Young Kwang’s “Back” in Call It Love, Lee successfully portrayed a very sad and lonely back without our seeing his face back in 2001’s Beautiful Days. That scene of his standing by the road side as the camera zoomed in to focus on his back is one of the most memorable scenes in my mind.

    For this year’s Baeksang, I wish all the wins for Decision To Leave – it’s a piece of art in recent memories. Lee Sung-min should win the best drama actor by a big margin, I think.

    5
    1

      He seems so stiff to me in reel and real life. Very serious. Though, i know he’s a good actor. He has proven it

      I just feel that Baeksang could have nominated another person, since he’s always there every year. Who? I don’t know.

      1

        He is versatile if you check out his comedy especially those in earlier years. Korean movies have come a long way but still a relatively small pool and hence, his being nominated frequently. The same can be said of Song Kang-Ho. Both are great in almost everything they do. It’d be more interesting to see who would emerge in the next two generations to replace them.

        Nonetheless, the award this year should go to Park Hae-il with two nominations for Decision To Leave and Hanson: Rising Dragon. I have watched both. The two roles can’t be more different and one being a period drama. He is excellent in both – I hope he will win, fully deserving.

      Each segment is good on its own but somehow the whole thing doesn’t gell well. I usually like omnibuses but Our Blues doesn’t work for me.

    A drama that starts with so many people talking all at once and at rapid pace is a sign that the drama is no good at all. It means they have not setup the characters well. I’m not a writer, but that’s how I feel with kdramas.

On a rewatch of Misaeng. Misaeng is truly that series. Such a crowning achievement for Korean TV series. I have nothing but high praises for this drama.

Korea, give us more like this.

      Uneraseable characters too. They have stayed with me for quite awhile.

      The likes of Young-Yi, Baek-Ki, Seok-Yeul, Geu-rae, Chief aof and Dong-sik, they linger in my mind awhile. I’m grateful for it.

    tbh, with how many drugs he has been apparently taking I would rather he got caught now then wind up dead later on. I am just worried he might have to go to prison or forget about his acting career…

    oof.
    there was an estonian actor who recently cam forth saying he used cocaine for 10 years. I dont approve. even if they regret and express remorse. it is a drug that supports organised crime. there might be people enslaved, organs sold, people murdered, people dead from transporting drugs in their body. never ok
    at the same time, once you are addicted you gota have it. thats why I dont approve even ever trying drugs.
    it is possible that he didnt think about that. but cmon. he is a grown man.

    too bad. of course, drugs are common in entertainment industry. frankly I wish when the dealer and the drugring is caught, they should get capital punishment.

      Well said! Sadly, most people are not aware about the organized crime that takes place to sell it illegally in countries that have stringent laws.

    I hope he gets the support he needs. If he uses it, he needs rehabilitation, not punishment. Those who sell have to be caught and punished.

      Much needed support and a some punishment on the side that doesn’t have to be jail time but still come at a good cost.

    The ketamine stuck out to me. When you look up the history of the drug, I wonder how severe his depression is or are there other symptoms as well. And to think all of this started as a doctor’s audit. Those doctor’s who recommended or wrote those scripts need to have some charges brought against them as well. What one in their right mind would recommend ketamine before looking at any other options or having your patient seek talk therapy and look at recommendations from that.

Horrifying. The tragedy at Itaewon tonight. Something I didn\’t expect would happen, despite overcrowding every year.

And it seems like the reaction there is business as usual. Sad.

    Horrendous! Is it also because people were dressed in Halloween costumes? (Just like what we saw in Itaewon Class) 180 casualties or so from lack of air outside sounds so terrifying! I hope they can prevent any more deaths.

      Itaewon during Halloween is the happening place. Just like in the series. Yep. Everyone is dressed up, everyone ready to party.

      It’s always crowded every year. I read in someone’s post, “There’s a row of bars and restaurants that border a sea of people flowing in two directions. You will get stuck and move with the flow no matter where you step in this current. There is no turning back, you just keep half inching forward till you reach the end of the street or you drift into an alley to escape the flow, only to be sucked into another current. It’s endless. It’s sweaty. It’s astonishing. It’s amazing.”

      I also find it amazing to watch them in the past few years. It is organized chaos every year. It was on my wish list. What I didn’t expect is that there were no process in place in case of emergencies. Ambulance and local officials had a difficult time getting in through the area most hit. And I don’t know if they will limit that next year. How could they, when it’s an open area.

    Why do you think it is business as usual? They’ve declared national mourning until Nov 5 and many concerts/festivals have been canceled. Granted it will be hard to say what changes will occur until the next similar event.

    I must be one of the few people that liked Kenobi. I was waiting until Andor was fully released to binge it.

      I waited as well until it had more episodes. Now, the struggle of waiting for one new episode in the next four weeks. Should have waited.

      Kenobi was my least favorite of the SW live action series Disney released. Nothing extraordinary about it. Boba Fett was also bad, except for some Mando episodes.

      So, I was meh about Andor going in. And I guess that worked, coz I’m hype up now with this series.

Why is Seo Ji Hoon not getting enough recognition in Korea? Good looking actor with credentials to his belt.

We need more lead roles, or for that matter adult roles from him.

It still amazes me that so many Korean actors are smoking. Not just many, it’s like all of them smoke. At the same time, they have to maintain a healthy body for image. It just doesn’t makes sense.

        👆🏼This! It makes me sad, to be honest. I know I’m part of the problem as someone who consumes the output, but exercise, for example, is more about obtaining a certain body/look than about the benefits of being active and healthy. Your simple sentence sums it up, and it cuts across all facets of health and well-being.😢

    Not sure where you’re from but from my understanding it’s more common in Korea (and a lot of other countries tbh) than in my country (the US). Especially for men, some of them start smoking in the military as a social thing.

    I personally don’t understand why anyone would smoke, but I even know doctors who smoke… 😬

      I’m in the US, and yes I don’t see many young kids smoking these days. It used to be a cool thing to do for them. Now, maybe they’re smoking other things, rather than cigarettes.

      Okay, I kept wondering how these actors learned how to smoke in the first place. Military makes sense. Yes, I’m aware that it’s common in Korea, but it’s shocking to me that every actor know how to smoke cigarettes.

      Ha! In Hospital Playlist, there were scenes where they were smoking. So, that’s accurate. Smh!

      Maybe in Korea, they still find it sexy and cool. I mean look at Byun Yo Han there. It just oozes charisma.

      In the US, many of the restaurants went away with smoking indoors, except maybe few bars. We don’t see dramas or movies glamorizing it anymore.

        I guess it depends on your POV. To me it oozes sleaziness and stupidity. It’s a throwback to the James Dean era, except they had the excuse of ignorance and we don’t.

Hwang In Yeop is adorkable. A revelaton in th first 2 episodes. Cute.

Looking forward for more.

    A couple of us are discussing the first couple episodes on my fan wall if you want to join! But @db-staff hopefully will get a wee-cap or hang out page set up for us as the show has a lot of call-backs to the three dramas these actors were in.
