I missed the QoT bit of your sentence and started reading βwhen evil sonβ¦βand immediately said Queen of Tears it really was great acting as you could literally read it on his face.
They seemed like a bigger menace during live watch. I found it difficult to relate to Beanies who felt sorry for Eun-seong (much like the ajhumma who wacked Park Sung-hoon) but I get it now. If you’ve read the recaps you’ll see how many of us want to see him as a ML in a rom-com but apparently he feels he gets more *love* for his villainous roles. 😂
To think that I first noticed him in Jealousy Incarnate as Go Kyung Pyo’s secretary, glasses and all, and thought him a cute ahjussi! I was shocked when I saw him a few years later in more prominent roles!
Stardom is a rare mix of fate and timing. Hard work aside there is no accounting for or fixed formula for “success”. Did you see him in Memorials (Into the Ring).
I have to clarify that the directing and the style was what I didn’t like, not the story/characters/etc. I couldn’t focus on anything because of the directing.
Can I request you to elaborate on your comments about the directing. I must confess I’m not at the level of dissecting a drama technically. If it hits the emotional notes it’s a yay for me but if I don’t vibe with it, its bye-bye time.
I love reading the Beanies analysis of dramas and I learn so much and get a different perspective. It definitely increases my appreciation of the dramas.
Memorials has a very distinct directing style and camera work.
The angles of filming, the fish-eye style, the loooong silences, the loooong stares, very crowded sets (like too many chairs, too many tables, too many everything that nearly swallowed the actors), sometimes inaudible audio like a person might not hear some parts of a sentence in real life (but this is not real life, I need to know what the characters are talking about or how would I know what is going on?), etc
I think it is considered very artistic, and I apparently don’t do artistic well.
Tbh i can’t do artistic very either. That is why I can’t watch European cinema.
Okay thank you. You have beautifully analyzed and expressed what I found tricky but was unable to express it. The Matchmakers was brighter and perhaps more *cinematic* but I agree i need to know what our characters are thinking than just how they are looking or how creatively they are photographed.

He made a lasting impression in me as the timid yet argumentative secretary in Jealousy Incarnate – but I never expected back then what a desirable ML he would become one day.

His expression said it all. He should be afraid of her, and now he knows it.

True every single word👌
Yeah… I’m in the rare minority who didn’t like Memorials🙈 I pushed myself quite a few episodes in but had to give up.

European cinema. That is exactly how Memorials is like, and I didn’t put it in in my previous comment for fear of offending someone.

It was amusing to see him apologize for being *bad* at the finale watch party.
