This is a fun show they got the comedy part and thriller is average it keeps us guessing but there is a lot of nonsensical actions by the characters that let the killer get away everytime and the police act like idiots/hare running in a wheel when villagers are getting killed every other night.
The glaring plot holes , very very timid nature of Ye-bun and he squeaky voice "Seon-woooo~ shi" make it more irritating to the point that I didn't even feel anything when he sacrificed himself for her despite her doubting him at the fag end
The nonsensical plot hole include :
1. Why doesn Seon-woo not report to cops or atleast warn Ye-bun/Min-ki on shaman
2. Shaman was always creepy but was getting substantially creepy noticeable as he killed more people but nobody including Ye-bun noticed till the demise.
3. If they are going to find Ok-Hee by using directions they should have tried first before trying to release but on hindsight that was their only change to comply and didnt expect him to trap them with the goons.
This would have been even mor enjoyable show if was cut short to 12 episodes and they stress too much on Seon-woo & Ye-bun backforth if they are not going to go all the way.
I think revenge plots are my favourite in kdramas xD But also so many unexplained things and missed opportunities for actors to shine more.
We never got a reveal for Jun Kyoung that Ari is dead and also that Ari might be alive. I wanted this so bad only for the purpose to see actors talent bc i was mesmerized about his ability to convey emotions so quickly and clearly as he did during the kiss scene. He was focused on reading Aris emotions then in a second he was shocked but then the feeling and determination changed his face i was so excited to see more for him but we didnt get that.
I would also love to see aftermath for every celebrity at the end. After some time not like during which we got. Did Angela became a full on prostitute? And what with the others? Some quickly decreasing followers numbers and maybe their occupations afterwards would be amazing.
What also bugs me the most is we never saw why/how Aris family bancrupted, we didnt get answers for her "uncle" and mothers behaviour. They just were like that without us knowing the full story. Also why Ari hated on Jun Kyoung that much at the beginning, even if its for his money and being treated like royalty we dont know WHY she hates that kind of behaviour. I was constantly thinking that it had to be bc how ppl treated her after her family's downfall. Why Jun Kyoung hated drugs so much that he was disgusted with Ari just being next to the drugs? So many questions.
I understand Aris decision at the end but I would love for her to maybe use her channel to help others, maybe to talk about honesty, loyality and anti hater stuff. Naive... but would be very hopeful.
Season one is absolutely amazing but half way through season 2, the typical CW woke ass messaging gets started. Such a shame. This was one of the best new shows but soon will become garbage like all the other DC Comics shows on The CW.
I started watching The Time Traveller's Wife last night. I loved the book and read it so many times i dogeared the copy I had.I hated the movie that came out some years back. Eric Bana and that Adams chick just didn't capture the characters for me.
Theo James though... oh gosh, he is Henry. He's absolutely Henry. Rose Leslie is a good actress, and she's doing a good job, I am not sure I like her as Claire. I'm not sure why, but she's just not fitting the picture I made in my head about this woman with guts and long love. I can't fault her acting though, she's doing a great job. But it's Theo doing it for me.
I honestly am yet to not like him in anything. I can't tell if I think he's pretty, or if he's a good actor or a bad actor. I just like watching him... he makes me believe every character I've seen him play. And say what, for me, he has definitely captured Henry's humor, his fear, his kindness, his ruthlessness, his wily cunningness, all of it... I particularly loved the scene with him and Rose Leslie in The Stacks where Henry introduces Claire to his mother.
Gosh... he totally sold me.
I read a half and half kind of review from a big outlet a couple of weeks ago, and was very surprised someone attempted this story again, and was totally prepared for another wan attempt, but no... I am really liking this.
This is definitely doing some justice to Niffenegger's beautiful love story.
Don’t trust the good reviews. 80% of this show is the equivalent of watching paint dry. You. Will. Feel. Every. Minute. That. Passes. Unnecessarily long and boring.
This is way far better than all The Walking Dead seasons combined. Highly recommended for both who likes the zombie genre and those who doesn't like it.
This isn't your usual, ordinary, zombie show. It's full of character development, real life and realistic drama, and lessons in survival and life itself.
In this show, they truly captured how high school students would have acted and think. While maybe, some characters and situations were annoying, you would realize that's how you and your classmates would have been at that age of your life. They also did not shy away from showing the very difficult task of making decisions, and best of all, how in the middle of fear, uncertainty, and death, humanity still can trust and support each other at the end of the day.
It's not all running. There are stories behind every episode, every character, every scene. Something you don't see in majority of zombie films and TV series.
Jun Ji-hyun is absolutely perfect in this character. Seems like she was born to play it. :smile:
