My Demon

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

My Demon (2023/24, South Korea)

Director: Kim Jang Han

Writer: Choi Ah Il

Mini-review:

Look, I'm not gonna lie. I started this drama for a very superficial reason: Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang are one of the most gorgeous couples I've ever seen. And tbh, that's one of the things that kept me watching until the end. The first half was pretty fun, thanks to their will-they-won't-they dynamic and some really funny supporting characters and recurring gags. Unfortunately, it began to drag around the middle part, and then it got more and more boring with each passing episode. By the time the final episode came out, I no longer cared about the plot, the characters or anything else (although the ending itself was quite nice). With all that in mind, I can't help but think My Demon would have worked much better as a movie.

MY LOVELY LIAR

GENRES: Mystery, Romance

SUMMARY: An accused murder suspect and a woman who can hear lies find each other, love, and justice for everyone around them.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Soccer fans, tarot cards, fanboy bodyguards, divorce, obsession, underworld gangs, political bribery, blackmail, turtles, glamping, fireworks, old flames, bread, heart-shaped shrimp, and small business support.

HOT TAKE: I really never looked forward to new episodes of this show dropping but I certainly enjoyed every minute I watched. The mystery is consistent, the romance is just adorable, and the side characters are just the right amount of quirky and real. A Casual Warning: For better or for worse, Hwang Min Hyun does about 70-80% of his acting in this show through his eyes.

PD Tip for Next Time: PLEASE get Yun Ji On some clothes that actually fit him. I know he's a skinny fellow, and he's supposed to be a hip entertainment exec, but he is just swimming in those suits and it makes him look like he just walked out of the movie 'Big.'

RAIN OR SHINE // KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

İmdb puanı: 8,2 Benim puanım: 8

Drama: Rain or Shine (English title) / Just Between Lovers (literal title)

Hangul: 그냥 사랑하는 사이

Director: Kim Jin-Won

Writer: Yoo Bo-Ra

Date: 2018

Language: Korean

Country: South Korea

Cast: Lee Joon-Ho, Won Jin-A, Lee Ki-Woo, Kang Han-Na, Kim Hye-Jun, Yoon Se-Ah, Yun Yoo-Sun, Ahn Nae-Sang Kim Min-Kyu,  Park Gyu-Young, Park Hee-Von

Dizi, birbirini tanıyan ve geçmişlerinde büyük acılar yaşamış iki insanın, yaşamın zorluklarına karşı nasıl hayatta kalmaya çalıştıklarını anlatıyor. Ana karakterler Lee Kang-Doo (Lee Jun-Ho) ve Ha Moon-Soo (Won Jin-A) arasında, acıyı paylaşmanın ve iyileşmenin büyülü bir yolculuğu var. Lee Kang-Doo, bir trafik kazası sonucu hayatını kaybeden ailesinin ölümünden sorumlu hissederek hayatına devam etmeye çalışıyor. Ha Moon-Soo ise, küçük yaşta bir trajedi yaşayan ve yıllarca travmasıyla boğuşan bir kadındır. İkisi de aynı binada çalışırken yolları kesişir ve zamanla birbirlerine tutunarak geçmişlerinin yüklerinden kurtulmaya çalışırlar.

Lee Jun-Ho'nun performansı gerçekten farklıydı. 2PM grubunun üyesi olan Lee Jun-Ho, bu dizideki rolüyle dikkatleri üzerine çekmiş olsa da kendi adıma üçüncü izleyişim. Performansı ile acı ve umutsuzluğu aynı anda hissedebiliyorsunuz. Won Jin-A ise karakteriyle çok derin bir bağ kuruyor ve trajedinin yoğunluğunu başarıyla taşıyor. Bence oyuncunun neşeli rollerde oynamaması gerekiyor. Genel olarak son derece donuk bir mizacı var. Beğendiğimi söyleyemeyeceğim ama role yakışmıştı.

Dizi, acı, kayıp, sevgi ve yeniden başlama temalarını derinlemesine ele alıyor. Her bölümde karakterlerin duygusal yolculuklarını daha yakından takip etmek, izleyiciye hem kalp kırıcı hem de umut veren bir deneyim sunuyor. Ayrıca; dizinin atmosferi, çekimler ve mekanlar, hikayenin duygusal yoğunluğuna mükemmel şekilde uyum sağlıyor.

Genel oalrak Rain or Shine’ı beğendim. Özellikle karakterlerin yaşadığı içsel çatışmalar ve birbirlerine karşı geliştirdikleri duygusal bağ başarılıydı. Dizi genel olarak ağır bir tempoya sahip ve izlerken biraz sabır istiyor. Ama sonunda o sabır pişman etmiyor. Bunun dışında, dizinin hikayesi biraz daha sakin ilerliyor, aksiyon ya da yoğun olaylardan ziyade, duygusal derinlik ve karakter gelişimi ön plana çıkıyor. Bu yüzden herkesin tarzına hitap etmeyebilir, ancak duygusal yoğunluk ve karakter derinliği sevenler için mükemmel bir seçenek.

Sonuç olarak, Rain or Shine derin, duygusal ve düşündürücü bir dizi. Her iki başrol oyuncusunun da güçlü performansları sayesinde izleyiciye güzel bir deneyim sunuyor. Biraz ağır ilerlese de, trajediyi ve iyileşmeyi keşfetmek isteyenler için harika bir seçenek.

[kdramaxoxo]

Sorry if you've been asked this a million times, but who are your favorite couples from the last couple years?

Congratulations Anon! This ask is AMAZING and I've never been asked it before! Shocking right?? :P

My favorite K-Drama Couples 2023- Spring 2024

NOTE: I tried to include 2022 but my list got too long :)

Moving (Bong-Seok & Hee-Soo, Joo-Won & Hye-Won & Doo-Shik & Mi-Hyun): It's very obvious by this list how much I love this drama and how many blorbo-from-my-shows it created for me. And I know I'm only reviewing couples, but I was blown away by this drama. I don't even LIKE superhero shows, but I made an exception for this one and I'm so glad I did. If you like character development and plays on good vs. evil, I highly rec this! Bong-Seok and Hee-Soo are one of my favorite couples EVER and I loved the softness and epic romance of Joo-Won & Hye-Won. (And we all know that scene at the rainy window with Bong-Seok and Hee-Soo). These couples are really EVERYTHING.

Tale of the Nine Tailed: 1938 (Lee-rang & Yeo-Hee): This is the only time I've ever watched a season two and liked it better than season one. It's probably because it featured my favorite tragic half fox Lee Rang and gave him a love line with a mermaid. The two are SO sweet together---SOB!

Tell me That You Love Me (Mo-Eun & Jin-Woo): Wow. Maybe one of the softest couples I've ever seen in existence. Just watching them together was like a warm blanket in front of a cozy fireplace. I didn't like the ending choice which is a shame, but the drama was super well done and I still think people should watch it. There is also a very cute high school couple too!

The Eighth Sense (Jae-Won & Ji Hyun): not to be dramatic (just kidding!) this is the best bl kdrama I've ever seen. Literally this is it! I don't even want to tell you about the couple because I want you to just watch it! I'm dying for the writer to make another one because we need more queer media like this one!

Crash Course In Romance (Haeng-Seon & Chi-Yeol): Give me a noona romance featuring a man who has not felt warmth in 1000 years (ok not literally but this dude needs to have a warm meal made by an amazing lady!) This drama fell apart at the end (this seems to be a theme this year) but the couple makes it worth watching.

King The Land (Gu-Won & Sa-Rang): If you're looking for a low stakes, totally fluffy, rom com with TONS of chemistry (featuring MY BIAS!), King the Land is for you. Amazing skinship, kisses and just like a really fun duo to watch. Plot? Not so much but there are a billion good moments-- just look at the tags: They are full of cuteness.

Love After Divorce Season 4 (Benita & Jerome): Listen, I know I'm cheating by putting a reality tv show on this list but if you're in the mood for one, I highly recommend this season (it's on Netflix). Benita and Jerome will steal your heart and they are still together! I'm rooting for them. <3

See you in my 19th Life (Ji-Eum & Seo-Ha, Da-Hoon & Cho-Won): My bias Shin Hye Sun kills it in this drama featuring past life romance. Honestly it's not fair because this drama is totally my vibe so I'm obviously going to love the mains. But when a drama gives you more than one love line and they are both interesting and lovely?? Chef's Kiss!

Dr. Slump (Jeong-Woo & Ha-Neul): This drama TOTALLY fell apart at the end and left us all very disappointed, but that's not because our leads weren't a perfect couple! They bonded over mental illness and even took their meds together. Communication: check. Comfort/Healing: check. Chemistry: check!

The Story of Park's Marriage Contract (Yun-Woo & Tae-Ha). You probably don't know this but I've been following Bae In Hyuk's career since we was in silly little web dramas. Seeing him as a lead is really wild! To be fair, he's not nearly the actor that Lee Se Young is, but do we care about that when there's a time slip romance drama featuring a historical lady who's been thrown into the future and has to fake marry someone who looks just like her de*d husband for reasons??

Thank you so much for this ask - it was super fun!! Maybe I should do 2022 next?? :D

Pre-Show Timeline of Sh**ting Stars

I made this because the past parts are told out of order and I wanted to pin down the timeline

Tae-seong is in 9th Grade (14 ish years old):

His grandmother dies, his mother sets it up so he can live alone. Director Choi Ji-hoon prevents his mother from getting off the plane.

Tae-seong 16/17 years old:

Director Choi Ji-hoon harasses him about becoming an actor. At this point no one knows the identity of his mother.

He watches his mom's movie in an empty theatre, sees Han-byeol there crying

He asks Director Choi Ji-hoon to make him more famous than his mother

Last Year of High School (most likely):

Tae-seong joins Starforce, switches high schools, and meets Lee Yun-Wo.

Tae-seong and Han-byeol are in university:

At some point he does one or multiple group projects with Han-byeol (no wonder she hates him so much if he didn't pull his weight)

They watch a movie together

Tae-seong debuted when he was about 20, so during this time. He is already famous enough that his offer to be on the advertisements every year is worth something

(Han-byeol said Tae-seong is her senior, but they are the same age and graduated at the same time. Since she was crying about her grades, she might have entered a year late and since he was working it took him an extra year to finish)

6 years before the beginning of the show (2016):

Han-byeol is a junior employee at Starforce

The eunuch incident

3 years before the beginning of the show (2019):

Tae-seong says he's dating his co-star, right after Han-byeol thinks that he may like her. She cries while writing the press release.

2 years before the beginning of the show (2020):

Their friend/colleague Lee Yun-Wu commits suicide. His manager quits and opens the Organic Bar. Jo Gi-bum defies her boss to support Han-byeol at the funeral.

(The subtitles say that the crazy lady housekeeper started working for Tae-seong 3 years ago, but given that it's implied Yun-wu just died, she must have started working for him shortly after the suicide)

1 year before the beginning of the show:

Tae-seong goes to Africa to volunteer, partially to spite Han-byeol, but mostly because Lee Yun-Wu wanted to go

Present (2022): They are both 30 years old (born in 1992) and Tae-seong has been an actor for 10 years

Events without specific dates:

Kang Yu-sung was Tae-seong's manager. He got beat up trying to defend Tae-seong, afterwards they became friends

Kang Yu-sung scouted Baek Da-hye at a Tae-seong fan event. Park Ho-young thought he was hitting on her and is impressed by his professionalism

!⠀♡⠀₊⠀⠀ׁABOUT : Cupidz

see cupidz's masterlist !

Cupidz (Korean: 큐피즈 주; Japanese: キューピズ), is a South Korean girl group formed by Pledis Entertainment in 2018. The group consists of seven members: Yeona, Kyungjoo, Kumiko, Sun Yoon, Doyun, Yuri, and Haeun. Cupidz debuted on February 14, 2018, with the title song "LOVE BOMB", from their first mini album of the same name, LOVE BOMB.

┃NAME

According to Haeun in an interview with Harper's Bazaar, "Our name, Cupidz, represents how we feel towards a certain person of interest. Our storyline is based off of having your first crush and feeling like you've been hit by Cupid when you see your crush. I think it's simple, but cute."

┃HISTORY

2011-2017: Pre-debut activities

Park Yeo Na joined Pledis in 2011, being the first member to join the company. She starred in the web-drama Love High as Song Hye-Kyo in 2015. She was also seen frequently alongside SEVENTEEN before their initial debut in 2015. 

Heo Kyung Joo joined the company in 2015, and had no public activities prior to the announcement on Cupidz's debut.

Hino Kumiko trained under DSP Media for only two years, having joined in 2014 and leaving in 2016. She joined Pledis Entertainment later that year in 2016. She often posted dance videos on Instagram while she was a trainee.

Beon Eun-hee (known by her stage name Sun Yoon) was a CUBE Ent. trainee from 2015 to 2017 and left the company the same year due to artistical differences with the company. She later auditioned for Pledis within the same year and her first audition was rejected. She auditioned once again in 2017 and was accepted.

Lee Do-yun was a well known trainee as her singing videos would often go viral. She joined Pledis in 2016 and trained for only a year and 7 months.

Yamaguchi Yuri and Geun Ha Eun were both completely hidden trainees. Yuri joined Pledis in 2015 and Haeun joined in 2017. Neither of them had been shown to the public on any official Pledis accounts so fans were excited for the mysterious trainees.

2017-2018: Preparation & Debut

Despite Pledis' girl group Pristin recently debuting, Pledis made the decision to begin working on yet another girl group, Cupidz. They evaluated over 30 trainees in September of 2017 which included Park Yeo Na, Beon Eun-hee, Lee Do-yun, and Yamaguchi Yuri. They all were chosen for the official lineup, following the addition of trainees Heo Kyung Joo, Hino Kumiko, and Geun Ha Eun. Pledis felt that the lineup of girls was enough to begin working on the group. 

Pledis had hinted at a new girl group in December of 2017. Little had still been known about who the members were and when the group was set to have their debut. In January of 2018 Pledis officially announced the group's name 'Cupidz' and all 7 members. They stated the group would be debuted the following month of February. 

They made their official debut on February 14, 2018 with the title song "LOVE BOMB" including their mini album of the same name, LOVE BOMB.

Branding in Seongsu

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Branding in Seongsu (2024, South Korea)

Director: Jung Hun Soo

Writers: Choi Sun Mi & Jeon Seon Young

Mini-review:

Look, I'm not gonna say this was good, but it kept me engaged throughout. And it's all thanks to the two leads. They basically save the whole thing with their chemistry and their comedic chops. I was particularly impressed by Lomon, who went out of his comfort zone for this role and delivered in every single scene. The show worked better as comedy than anything else, since it was pretty funny at times. But yeah, whenever it tried to highlight serious issues, it ended up falling into the same old stereotypes. And some of the final twists made little to no sense. I don't regret watching Branding in Seongsu, though, cause the episodes were short and it never had time to get boring. But I do wish the writing and directing were as good as the acting, or less messy at the very least.

[chwenotchoi]

[ kim tae-ri, cis female, she/her ] - was that CHOI HYE-JIN i saw by the lighthouse today? i heard that the TWENTY SEVEN year old who has been in nightrest for A MONTH and works as a/an HOSTESS has a reputation of being CHARMING, but also DECEITFUL. they reside in ASHMORE & people in town usually associate them with RED LIPSTICK, BLACK CATS, and WILTED ROSES. let’s hope the killer doesn’t go after them next.

*taps into the mic* hello, hello. is this thing on?

hi! i'm dee, your new (favorite) provider of all-things angsty! i am so excited to be here and to write with all of you :--) without further ado, let me write a very... brief introduction for my baby, hye-jin! <3

tw: abandonment, murder, sexual harassment, all things illegal

full name: choi hye-jin nickname/s: jinnie, yeji birth date: october 5, 1995 age: 27 years old birth place: daegu, south korea marital status: single blood type: o zodiac sign: libra mbti personality type: entj

choi hye-jin is the eldest daughter of a notorious criminal (choi duri) and a well-known businesswoman (song eun-jung) in daegu. her mother's family, of course, did not approve of this. it resulted for them to use their influence to get rid of hye-jin and her father. luckily, the two managed to escape with the help of the gang he's involved with.

hye-jin and her father lived in incheon. this is also where he met park do-yun, the only daughter of the gang leader in the said city. he loved her dearly, and eventually had a son when hye-jin was 9 years old. right after giving birth, do-yun did not survive as she lost a huge amount of blood during labor.

this leads to duri losing the love of his life, as well as his mind. he did all things to distract himself from being reminded that do-yun passed away. he was never home, leaving hye-jin to take care of the boy while their father did whatever he wanted outdoors. this went on for years!

aside from becoming the gang's greatest member, he would also cause trouble from left to right. his gang is there to back him up of course, but there are also times where in a young hye-jin would be the one to help him clean up his mess.

when she was 15, she had a fight with her dad who came home drunk and angry. he was screaming at her, blaming her for every miserable thing that had happened in his life. from being exiled in his hometown to losing the love of his life. hye-jin never understood why she was the one to blame, especially when she was just at home, taking care of her step-brother and providing everything that she can. she worked different jobs while studying, since their father barely gave anything to support them.

as expected, hye-jin eventually got involved with her father's line of work. it pays good money, and she would do anything to survive. from scamming to injuring people, you can count on her. just make sure you have the means to pay for her services.

the gang's leader eventually saw the potential in hye-jin. he made sure hye-jin had everything she could need, in exchange of her loyalty to him. this was a deal that she could never say no to. so whatever it is that he wanted her to do, she's got it covered.

this includes getting rid of duri. who has been stealing money from the gang and cause nothing but trouble lately. but since hye-jin is known for getting the job done efficiently, she was the one assigned to execute choi duri.

definitely, it was a difficult job for the girl. she was barely 18 and that is her father. but she would rather have him dead rather than penniless and hungry. she was offered a huge amount of money for this. which is honestly more than enough to support her and her younger brother. the gang's leader keeps his word. and he also assured her that they will be moving somewhere far away once she gets it done.

and so she did. the next thing she knows is that she was watching her father bleed to death. other members of the gang took care of the body, while she was packing her things. what she did not know about the whole deal is that her younger brother will not be joining her.

she moved to a different continent at the age of 19. of course, still supported and funded by the leader of the gang she's in. she was able to get into college and live a pretty normal life. she just wished that she can still take care and see her younger brother.

but every now and then, she is still assigned to do things for him. she would spy on people, steal expensive jewelry, and even kill whoever did the gang leader wrong. all that tasks done without any traces that would lead to her.

she is definitely a pro at all things illegal. with her very innocent looks, everyone would not believe that she can do such thing. and everyone will always pick her side because... she mastered the look of being helpless too. a true cunning queen!

she also completed her degree in culinary! she can cook, she can kill. A GIRLBOSS!

eventually, she worked at a well-known hotel. her skills and dedication made it easy for her to become a head chef in three years. she took her time, but as she was about to get promoted, one of the executives of the said hotel sexually harassed her after work. knowing hye-jin's skills in that department... she had this man dead too.

she made sure that it looked like it was suicide. luckily, there were no security cameras on where it happened, and she knew the hotel like the back of her hand. she just cleaned up her mess, neat enough to ensure that the man looked like he killed himself. the next day, hye-jin came to work early and acted as if she discovered the body. this was so well-orchestrated. this lead to her resignation and eventually moved to the small town of nightrest.

she wanted to live a more lowkey life now, so she works as a very friendly hostess at spirits!

personality wise, hye-jin is can be a little snobbish. she's literally a black cat personified. but if you get on her good sides... you're lucky.

she also lives in ashmore because her bank account never runs out of money (thanks to her work and her illegal sidelines hehe)

i think that's about it! i'm pretty open for any sort of plot with her since she's new around town! let me know what you think :) tnx 4 having me here <3

10 interesting South Korean novels

The Vegetarian - Han Kang 

“Before the nightmare, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary life. But when splintering, blood-soaked images start haunting her thoughts, Yeong-hye decides to purge her mind and renounce eating meat. In a country where societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye's decision to embrace a more “plant-like” existence is a shocking act of subversion. And as her passive rebellion manifests in ever more extreme and frightening forms, scandal, abuse, and estrangement begin to send Yeong-hye spiraling deep into the spaces of her fantasy. In a complete metamorphosis of both mind and body, her now dangerous endeavor will take Yeong-hye—impossibly, ecstatically, tragically—far from her once-known self altogether.” (good reads)

Love in the big city- Sang young park 

“Love in the Big City is the English-language debut of Sang Young Park, one of Korea’s most exciting young writers. A runaway bestseller, the novel hit the top five lists of all the major bookstores and went into nine printings.

I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokpokki - baek se-hee 

“Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her - what to call it? - depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgmental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends, performing the calmness her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal. But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a yen for her favorite street food: the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like? Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a twelve-week period, and expanding on each session with her own reflective micro-essays, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions, and harmful behaviors that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness. It will appeal to anyone who has ever felt alone or unjustified in their everyday despair.” (good reads)

The Plotters - kim un-su

“Behind every assassination, there is an anonymous mastermind--a plotter--working in the shadows. Plotters quietly dictate the moves of the city's most dangerous criminals, but their existence is little more than legend. Just who are the plotters? And more important, what do they want?

Reseng is an assassin. Raised by a cantankerous killer named Old Raccoon in the crime headquarters "The Library," Reseng never questioned anything: where to go, who to kill, or why his home was filled with books that no one ever read. But one day, Reseng steps out of line on a job, toppling a set of carefully calibrated plans. And when he uncovers an extraordinary scheme set into motion by an eccentric trio of young women--a convenience store clerk, her wheelchair-bound sister, and a cross-eyed librarian--Reseng will have to decide if he will remain a pawn or finally take control of the plot.

Crackling with action and filled with unforgettable characters, The Plotters is a deeply entertaining thriller that soars with the soul, wit, and lyricism of real literary craft.” (good reads)

Seventeen years pass without any resolution for those who knew and loved Hae-on, and the grief and uncertainty take a cruel toll on her younger sister, Da-on, in particular.

Ayrı ayrı bu kadar mükemmel iki oyuncunun birbirine bu kadar yakışmadığını ilk defa görüyorum. Aralarında kimya, biyoloji, fizik, itme, çekme hiçbir şey yoktu ya... Aceleyle karalanmış bir senaryoya başarılı oyuncuları yerleştirmişler. İlk yapacağım yorum budur. 12 bölümlük kısa bir dizi olduğu için konu çabuk toparlanır, hikaye uzamaz diye düşünmüştüm. Onun yerine sona doğru yeni düğümler atıp evirip çevirip, al bitti bu dediler. Lee Hye’ye ait webtoondan uyarlanan dizi çizime sadık kaldı mı yoksa kendisi mi bir son yazdı bilmiyorum.

Hikaye küçük bir kız olan Ban Ji-Eum ( Park So-Yi )’nin geçmiş hayatlarını hatırladığını anlatması ile başlıyor. Şuan ki 19. hayatında içinde bulunduğu aile fakirdir ve annesi evi terk etmiştir. Babası ve küçük kardeşi ile sefalet içinde yaşarken böyle olamayacağını fark edip evden kaçar. 17.hayatında bir erkek olarak yeğeni ile sirkte yaşarken hastalanıp ölmüştür. 19.hayatında o zamanki yeğenini bulur.

Kim Ae-Gyeong(Cha Chung-Hwa), kendi başına çok zorluklarla büyümüş kocaman kadın olmuştur. Küçük bir yahni dükkanı işletmektedir. Cha Chung-Hwa bence şahane bir oyuncu bu arada. Aynı zamanda da Shin Hye-Sun ile Mr. Queen dizisinde beraber oynamışlardı. Böyle geçmiş hayatlar üzerine bir dizi yapıp neden Mr. Queen’e bir gönderme yapılmadığına anlam veremedim. Önceki hayatımda kraliçeydim dese bile olurmuş. Çok tatlı bir dokunuş olurdu. Geçmiş hayatlar konusunu çok büyük harcadıklarını düşünüyorum. Uçsuz bucaksız bir fırsat varken ellerinde yalnızca bir konuk geldi; Chae Jong-Hyeop. Farklı isimlerinde kısacık da olsa görünmelerini bekledim.

Neyse kızımız geliyor yahniciye, ben senin amcanım diyor. Kadıncağız da hemen inanıyor, 10 yaşındaki kıza amca amca diyerek beraber yaşamaya başlıyorlar. Aradan yıllar geçiyor. Ban Ji-Eum burada yeni bir hayat kurduğundan beri 18.hayatında beraber yaşadığı küçük çocuğu arıyor. 18.hayatında daha çocuk yaştayken bir trafik kazasında ölmüş. Kaza sırasında Mun Seo-Ha(Jeong Hyun-Jun)’da onunla beraber olan aile dostlarının oğluymuş. Ufak bir çocuk olmasına rağmen bütün zamanlarını beraber geçiren bu çocukların özel bir bağı varmış. Ji-Eum da bu özel arkadaşını 19.yaşında arayıp bulmuş. Seo-Ha’nın babasının şirketinde parmakla gösterilen bir çalışan olmuş. Basamakları tek tek çıkarak ona ulaşmaya çalışıyormuş.

Ve geliyoruz günümüze Mun Seo-Ha büyüyor, oyuncusu Ahn Bo-Hyun’a dönüşüyor. Yaşadığı araba kazası nedeniyle bir kulağında duyma kaybı ve ilk aşkı/çocukluk arkadaşını kucağında kaybetmesinin travmalarını yaşıyor. Ölen annesine ait otelin işletmesini üstlenip, oteli eski görkemli günlerine döndürmeyi planlıyor. Ban Ji-Eum ise büyüyüp Shin Hye-Sun’a dönüşüyor. Karakterimiz işinden istifa ederek Mun Seo-Ha ‘nun oteline iş başvurusunda bulunuyor.

18.hayatındaki küçük kız kardeşi Yoon Cho-Won( küçük- Ki So-Yu, büyük Ha Yoon-Kyung) hep Seo-Ha’nın etrafında büyümüş. Peyzaj mimarı olan bu sevimli kızımız da Seo-Ha’nı sekreteri Ha Do-Yun(Ahn Dong-Goo) ile ilgileniyordu. Aslında bakarsanız bu çiftimiz çok daha uyumluydular. Uyumun yanı sıra çok daha da sevimliydiler. İkilinin aşkı, acısı, hissi izleyiciye çok daha fazla geçiyordu.

Daha önce dediğim gibi, oyuncular tek başlarına şahaneydiler. Shin Hye-Sun bir diziyi tek başına alıp götürebilecek potansiyele sahip dev kadro bir oyuncu. Ahn Bo-Hyun ise hem kötü adamı hem aksiyonu hem de aşık erkek rolünü hakkını vererek yaptığını kanıtladı. Itaewon Class, My Name, Yumi’s Cells gibi yapımlarla bu tezimi kanıtlayabilirim. Ayrıca ilk kötü adam olarak izledikten sonra bendeki imajını alaşağı ederek benim sapsabit fikrimi değiştirmeyi başaran çok nadir oyunculardan biridir. İşte tam burada kocaman bir ama! Ama işte olmamışlar beraber ya. İki dev oyuncunun birbirleri ile hiç mi kimyası uymaz arkadaş, uymamış işte.

Birazda senaryo hakkında konuşayım. Korelilerin çokça sevdiği bir konu olan reenkarnasyon mevzusu ana çıkış noktası. Hoş olmuş, güzel başlamış. Bütün hayatlarının her seferinde farklı bir suret farklı cinsiyet ile resmedilmesi de ayrıca güzel olmuş. Son 3 hayatının kısa sürmesi nedeni ile birden fazla hayatının iç içe geçmesini de çok güzel bağlamış birleştirmişler. Hikayeye verilen amaç yerine tam oturacakken, birden farklı bir boyut açmaları ise hiç diziye gitmemiş. Dizinin kaldıramayacağı bir karmaşa eklemişler. En başında bu insan neden sürekli geçmiş hayatlarını hatırlıyor diye sorgulamadan dizinin %80’ini izletip, sonra aslında her şey neden hatırladığına başlı diyemezsiniz. İzleyiciye ayıp olmuyor mu birazcık sizce de?

Çok gereksiz yükselip, verdiği açıklama ile tatmin etmeyen bir son yaşandı. Bana bir tık “Bulgasal” dizisini anımsattı. Keşke o dizideki gibi ilk bölümden bu lanetin sinyallerini verseydi. Kimin neden yaptığını söylemesine gerek yoktu, sadece böyle bir final yaşanacak mesajı bile yeterli olurdu. O yüzden hikayeyi çok zayıf buldum. Karakter gelişimi yok denebilecek kadar kötüydü. 18.hayatlarında birbirleri ile zaman geçiren iki çocuk… gerçekten çocuk. İzleyiciye, bir sonraki hayatlarında birbirlerini bulacakları kadar büyük bir bağ yansıtmıyorlar. Üstelik kız çocuktan büyük, ona ablalık yapıyor gibi bir hava hakim. Daha en başta çocukların arasında bir aşk var diye düşünüyorsunuz.

Bütün bu etkileşimi düşünerek izlediğinizde de, 1.bölümün sonunda ve fragmanda da gösterdiği o meşhur sahne geliyor karşınıza; iş görüşmesine gelmiş bir kadın, görüşme sonunda “beni işe almıyorsanız benimle çıkar mısınız” diye soruyor. Sen ne ara o kafaya geldin? Kardeşin gibi takıldığın çocuğa ölünce mi abayı yaktın. Hadi çocuğun kendinden büyük kıza açık olması normal. Her küçük erkek çocuğu zamanında bakıcısına, öğretmenine, komşunun büyük kızına vuruluştur. Onda da şöyle bir saçmalık hakimdi; yakışıklı patronumuz kızımızı gördü ve hiç etkilenmedi. Çok uzun süre kızımız çocuğun etrafında saçmalıklar yaptı, sülük gibi yapıştı. Yırtık dondan çıkar gibi “hadi çıkalım”, “senden hoşlanıyorum”, “öbüşek mi” tadında dolaştı. Sonra, sizde artık izlerken tamam hadi aşık oldu kız o kadar sene peşinde koşunca diye ikna oluyorsunuz. Bu seferde diğer tarafın mantıksızlığı suratınıza çarpıyor. Arkadaşım sen karşındaki kişiden hiç birazcık dahi hoşlanmazken onun aslında hoşlandığın kişi olduğunu öğrenince aşkında ölme moduna nasıl bu kadar çabuk geçebildin. Düğmesi mi var bunun aç kapat, nedir yani?

Yok bak kalp çarpıntısı yaptı düşünürken bile. Sözün kısası, oyuncuların uyumu olmadığı gibi senaryoda oldukça tutarsızdı. Benim fikrim, şahane bir konuyu, şahane oyuncularla harcamışlar. OST’sini de inceledim. Müzik de yoktu diyebilirim. En azından diziyi izlerken dikkatinizi çeken bir müzik olmuyor. Yine de ayrıca dinlerken iki tane seçtim. Yani kütüphanemede bu oyuncuların bütün yapımları olsun derseniz izleyin atın. Derseniz o kadar boş vaktim yok, izlemeyin.

OST:

Colde – Star

Jo Yuri – Down ( juicy Juicy )

Raven Melus
