Ussiwanghu (2024)
Intense historical action series
I do not consider this serie a classical kdrama but a very interesting historical series.
I found it realistic and intense. I know there were several issue about costumes and other historical matters but as an ignorant foreign I can't appreciate the accuracy.
Great performances indeed by all the cast. The action scenes are very well made, they give the right level of suspance. There is violence, cruelty and sex as there were in that historical era. I appreciate such an ending, it gives the opportunity to study what happened to discover a piece of history that we don't know. It deserves more visibility.
Nunmuleui yeowang (2024)
Perfect.
It was perfect. In every single frame, in every single word, in every single note. They all did an amazing job.
It was predictable and banal, in some moment even surreal, it isn't a real masterpiece but they make it an unique and an original creation. Excellent script.
It was touching, moving, funny and fascinating.
The whole cast was insuperabile.
Kim Kim couple was perfect. Great chemistry, great tension, great acting.
Kim Soo Hyun deserves all the success he has. Kim JiWon confirms to be an amazing actress.
Loved every sigle episode, each one was perfect and I'll miss a lot to be with them.
Hwan Hon: Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow (2022)
Coherent characterization
I'm very impressed with the quality of the carachters's characterization. It reminds a lot what we saw in the first part but also it developes the story. There are a lot of parallelisms in the main plot.
In particular Buyeon's characterization is so similar to the previous Mudeok to forget that there is a different actress playing her. Great playing of both of them. I hope that there will be a final happy ending, for now we had a happy ending per episode.
And I hope there will be enough screen time for each character and each couple to be explored as we had in the first part.
It's an exciting waiting.
When Calls the Heart: The Kiss (2021)
Bad writing in the season finale
In this episode, the entire 8-season character building process was canceled. Total incompetence of the writers.
Sanditon (2019)
It is a masterpiece despite the season finale
It is an excellent show, great playing, costumes, soundtrack, scenography.
But it has a very disappointing ending for those who expected a real Austenian transposition.
