SEVEN FIRST KISSES // KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

Drama: Seven First Kisses

Hangul: 첫키스만 일곱번째

Director: Jung Jung-hwa

Date: 2016

Language: Korean

Country: South Korea

Cast: Lee Cho-hee, Choi Ji-woo, Lee Joon-gi, Park Hae-jin, Ji Chang-wook, Kim Jong-in, Ok Taec-yeon, Lee Jong-suk, Lee Min-ho

Aslında bu minik diziye yorum yapmak pek mantıklı değil ama izlemişken minikten anlatayım. İlk başta üniversite bitirme projesi gibi gelmişti. Sonra öğrendim ki meğer dizi reklam filmi olarak çekilmiş. Lotte World tanıtım amaçlı böyle bir fikir atmış ortaya. Her sene birkaç ünlü ile çektikleri reklam filmini bir tık öteye götüren firma 9 farklı ünlü ile çalışma fırsatı yakalamış.

Kadın karakterimiz Lee Cho-hee, Lotte Duty Free'de danışmada çalışıyor. 25 yaşına gelmiş ancak hiç ciddi ilişkisi olmamış bu yaşına kadar hiç öpüşmemiş. Bir gün bilmeden yardım ettiği Choi Ji-woo ona bir dilek hakkı veriyor. Karakterimiz ise dillendirmese de bir erkek arkadaşı olmasını ve “first kiss” anını yaşamak istediğini içinden geçiriyor. Gizemli kadın rolündeki Choi Ji-woo da ona 6 adet kart verip 10sn içinde mükemmel bir adamla tanışacağını söylüyor ve ortadan kayboluyor.

8-12dakikadan oluşan 8 bölümlük bir seri izliyoruz. Her bölüm başka bir ünlü ile bir gün geçiren kadın oyuncumuz, yakışıklı erkeklerle yakınlaşıp tam öpüşmek üzereyken yeni bir güne geçiyor. ünlülerimiz ise kendi isimleriyle ama farklı karakterler ile karşımıza çıkıyor.

İlk sahneye gelen isim Lee Joon-gi oluyor. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo ve The Flower of Evil dizilerinde kendine hayran bırakan “Bay Mükemmel”! karakteri küçüklüğünden beri kızımıza aşık olan çok zengin, kibar ve düşünceli bir erkeği canlandırıyor.

Hemen arkasından Park Hae-jin geliyor. My Love From the Star ve Cheese in the Trap gibi dizilerde dikkatleri üzerine çeken “Romantik Patron”! Uzaktan başrolümüzü izleyen, koruyan tehlikeli ve sahiplenici bir erkeği canlandırıyor.

Üçüncü yakışıklımız ise Ji Chang-wook. The sound of magic, Healer, K2, Backstreet Rookie gibi dizilerden tanıdığımız kaslı oyuncu “Seksi Gizli ajan” rolünde karşımıza çıkıyor. Hikayeye göre başrolümüz ile eski ajanlar ve bir görev sırasında Lee Cho-hee ile tekrar buluşmak zorunda kalıyor.

Aksiyonlu idolümüzü geride bıraktıktan sonra Kpop grubu EXO’nun üyesi olan Kim Jong-in, nam-ı diğer KAI’ye sıra geliyor. “Büyüleyici Öğrenci” rolü ile sahneye çıkıyor. Çinceyi çok iyi bilen başrolümüz sözde Kai’nin dil öğretmenliğini yapıyormuş.

Hemen arkasından, Ok Taec-yeon tehlikeli cazibesi ile bize doğru yürüyor. Vincenzo dizisindeki eşsiz oyunculuğu ile tanıdığımız bu isim “Zengin ailenin masum oğlu” rolüne bürünüyor. Hikayeye göre kızımız ile uzun süredir sevgililer ve ailesi kızımızı kabul etmiyor.

Hız kesmeden sahneyi Lee Jong-suk alıyor. W: Two Worlds Apart ve Romance is a Bonus Book dizilerinde sevdiğimiz ama Big Mouth dizisinde tekrar tekrar kendine hayran bırakan oyuncumuz burada da yine ünlü bir yıldızı canlandırıyor. Başrolümüz ile reklam filmi çektikleri bir kurguda yakınlaşmalarını izliyoruz.

Ve 6 kartımız bittikten sonra tam birini seçmesi gerekirken, sürpriz bir 7.kart ortaya çıkıyor; “Özgür Ruhlu Gezgin” Lee Min Ho. The Legend of the Blue Sea ve The King: Eternal Monarch dizilerinden tanıdığımız aktör diğer 6 yakışıklının aksine kızı tanımıyor. Kendisi ünlü bir yazar olarak bulunuyor.

Lee Cho-hee’nin ismini ve cismini ilk kez gördüm. Tek söyleyebileceğim şanslı olduğu 😊 güzel olmayan hatta bence aktörlerin yanında fazla yaşlı kalan bir oyuncuydu. Reklam filmi olmasından dolayı çok yorum yapmaya gerek yok. İzleyici bakımından keyifli 1 saat geçirmemizi sağlayan ilginç bir seri olmuş diyebilirim.

BOYS OVER FLOWERS (2009, SOUTH KOREA)

Episode 3

Gu Jun Pyo (LEE MIN-HO) became jealous at a formal event and went outside furious that the girl he has become enamored Guem Jan Di (GU HYE SEON) was dolled up and was dancing with F4 member and Jun Pyo's best friend Ji Hoo.

Now in the Korean Adaptation Jun Pyo had a fear of bugs I mean an over the top fear. Seeing a cricket by the pool he freaked out and fell in the pool.

Jan Di happened by and extracted him from the pool and began CPR and suddenly Jun Pyo sprung awake (he was faking) and tried kissing Jan Di. She decked him. Yet he still seemed oh so happy.

But Jan Di doesn't like Jun Pyo (yet) she's still hung up on Ji Hoo (KIM HYUN JOONG)

Claire watches Asian dramas - JV Team edition

Here are two dramas that didn't quite hit the mark for me, personally, but had a lot going for them overall. So I'm putting them together in a "Junior Varsity" or JV team post.

Legend of the Blue Sea (2016) 푸른 바다의 전설

Korean mermaid/reincarnation* drama, starring Jun Ji-hyun and Lee Min-ho, 22 episodes plus a bonus episode with highlights from the series. Each episode is about 60 minutes long. I watched this on Viki.com and they have "episode 0" which is the special at the front, and if you start watching that before you finish the series, you will be very confused, as I was. It has a fun modern day setting, with flashbacks to a historical period.

Pros:

Love the cons (confidence games) that our hero and his buddies pull off; love his commitment to the bit (he has a full closet full of costumes and props!)

Overall good communication between the main couple

Nice red herring with the reincarnation and who the actual killer was, it was obviously played, but still enjoyable;

*They 'hung a lantern' on the angle about it not really being a reincarnation storyline, more like a parallel universe, which made it more plausible (to me), that everyone in their social circle had a Joseon doppleganger

Cons:

Some ethically squishy things with mind powers, I'm not fully satisfied that it was justified in the way it was used

Not satisfied with the mermaid lore (WTF a splash of water will cause her problems on land? That seems extremely questionable. Gills? Mind reading, but it only goes one way with her lover?)

Overall the last few episodes suffered from poor pacing, questionable plot choices and emotional pay-offs that didn't quite land

Things happened and it didn't feel like there was a strong enough reason for that thing to happen in that way (lazy writing? She got shot and healed, but not all the way, for some reason?)

Overally thoughts:

Final episode didn't quite work for me, personally. I wanted character growth, and I got some growth but then a plateau and open ended questions about some side characters (why the heck did she erase the homeless woman's memory? What happens with the little kid who is her friend? Does the little girl ever find happiness or feel like her mom loves her and supports her?? What about her next dance recital??)

Solid B+, but room for improvement

Love in the Moonlight aka "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds" (2016) 구르미 그린 달빛

Korean drama, 18 episodes, about 60 minutes each, plus a 60 minute behind-the-scenes "extra edition". Starring Park Bo-gum and Kim Yoo-jung, this is a period romance drama about a Crown Prince trying to find his way in a corrupt court and a clever young woman who has spent her life disguised as a man for mysterious reasons.... I also watched this one on Viki.com

Pros:

Three very pretty male leads, all good guys who try to do the right thing despite their difficult circumstances

Spunky female character who never loses her smile and stays true to her heart

Nice supporting "found family" characters, good balance of humor and advice

I enjoyed the set-up of the different plot threads and the slow reveal of the mystery in the first half of the show

Happy endings all around! (Except for a couple secondary characters, but they said they were satisfied so it counts, I suppose)

Cons:

I spent a lot of time yelling at the tv about the political maneuvers you could see coming from a mile away. The good guys were totally outclassed and should not have succeeded.

SLOOOOOW camera passes and lingering on people's faces for what felt like hours at a time. Over. The. Top. even for the genre.

By the end I was just begging for the show to be over, and did not care what happened to the characters anymore. Just, kill them, make them win, whatever. I just need resolution and to move on to a show with actual forward momentum.

Awkward editing cuts from high stakes life or death situation scenes to the C-plot romance of a couple side characters.

Overall thoughts:

Cute leads, but waaay too long and drawn out after about episode 8. The whole series could have been wrapped up in like 12 episodes, but the director ADORES long, lingering shots of the lovers staring at each other. Like, really, really can't get enough of them. Lots of sloooow pans across other characters as well. It got very tedious. I was ready to quit the show about episode 15, but with only a few left, I persevered. And the hot, stoic warrior character survived! So that kept me going, and I did in fact complete the show. (I did not make it through the final bonus special episode, I was over this show by that point. It's not a bad show, just not to my taste.)

This show is halfway between a rom-dramedy and a court-intrigue, political drama, and doesn't quite meet the mark on either. There are way better tv shows if you like palace intrigue with a splash of romance and comedy. It made me want to rewatch My Only Love Song, The Eternal Love (starring Xing Zhao Lin), or Oh My General, for some examples. Also made me want to go back and rewatch Three Lives, Three Worlds: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, for the "gender-bending" epic love-story plot with a side of royal court drama. Actually, Oh My General also fits into that category.

Love in the Moonlight required way too much suspension of disbelief in the characters' actions and decisions. Like, no one can be THAT stupid, right? Giant plot holes everywhere, and our heroes aren't talented or gifted, just extremely lucky. Even for the genre, this one was too much for me to give it higher than a B grade. Its not lower because the first half was good and well paced, it just lost momentum at the midpoint and never found it again.
