After mistakenly thinking I had 3 episodes of Your Honor, it finished abruptly. The writer really ran out of runway for the landing. Still I enjoyed the show overall.
There were several dramas airing at the time that got cuts. I think (not sure) it was bad planning around preemptions and they quite literally ran out of time. Both 30B17 and this were given 20 episode orders and then forced last minute to cut to 16. I think there was another drama as well but my memory is a bit hazy now. 30B17 was already struggling to fill 20 and its pacing was off. It had to cut a few corners to get back to 16 but not much. But Your Honour was clearly a solid 20 epper and was IMHO ruined by the cut.
It’s been interesting watching the strategic use of CGI in Your Honor. So far the twins haven’t appeared together very often but there’s been a couple scenes that have really sold the illusion of them
Finished watching Psychopath diary last night. Solid ending. Really enjoyed the mix of drama and comedy and the very stylish directing. My husband got caught up in the drama as it went along.
Been watching Your Honor and I can enjoy all the twin shenanigans but I’m having trouble with the trainee. She’s too idealistic and going too far the other way without thought to the consequences.
Ended up watching 5 episodes of Psychopath diary last night. Such an interesting show. Loving the layers and YSY. I‘ve only previously seen him in Mirror of the Witch and 2D1N. Now a fan.
Yea, once November hits, no more 5HINee songs or any of the members’ solo songs until February of the next year comes, because my heart just can’t take it
I discovered Walk around the Neighbourhood on KBS and can’t stop watching it. The host is really good at interacting with all sorts of people and shares some of his own memories.
I seriously hope not…I can’t never understand why our adorable kids have to pay for their parents’ sins? Watching brotherly love between the princes is so painful now because we all know that their elderly will pit them against each other very soon.
Started watching Remember, a son’s war, and boy can Yoo Seung Ho cry. 😥
The show even managed to get my husband to look up from his iPad and ask to watch another episode. 😉💪
I’m 4 episodes in and I’ve definitely got the feeling that we’re not going to get a happy ending. Even if he gets his Dad out of jail, they won’t be able to go back to how things were. Dad’s memory isn’t going to miraculously come back. 🤔😕
Finished Stranger/Forest of Secrets last night. An excellent show all the way to the end. Now giving some thought to watching Life, as I’d like to see more Jo Seung Woo. What an excellent actor.
I have come to the unfortunate realization that I do not think Lee Dong Wook is a good actor. He’s dazzling to look at but in the last 3 shows I’ve seen him in, his beauty (those lips! that build! *swoon*) just wasn’t enough, especially when he’s surrounded be genuine talent. Case in point, LIFE. I re-watched only Jo Seung Woo’s scenes. and would re-watch them again and again.
Have just discovered Stranger/Forest of Secrets on Netflix. Wow! I can feel my brain having a workout. I’m really enjoying how narratively dense it is.
It’s one of my all time favorite dramas. So well-written and the cast is amazing! JSW forever has a place in my heart after watching Forest of Secrets. 💜
