Yet for jdrama, this type of bizarre drama is no stranger though.<br /><br />The only qualms that I have about the casting is Kichise.

I thought Jo Jin-woong was solid, but the storyline wasn't anything I hadn't seen, and I didn't understand all the hype and fuss about it. junnyhttp://usagitoneko.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33003857.post-71209112423730727322018-04-03T04:46:13.634+08:002018-04-03T04:46:13.634+08:00I'll try to catch this up when it airs but tbh...I'll try to catch this up when it airs but tbh, the original Kdrama didn't impress me much aside from the acting and only acting. It has a great idea but fell flat at many spots. And the loopholes, oh man let's not talk about the loopholes. It feels like the Kdrama thinks that the viewers are dumb or something.<br /><br />But enough about the original, I do have many gripes about it Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975665430165523890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33003857.post-67178313132409084132018-04-03T02:49:15.617+08:002018-04-03T02:49:15.617+08:00Oh man, now that you put Suzuki Kyoka's name i...Oh man, now that you put Suzuki Kyoka's name into the universe now I wish this is something they'd have considered! Darn.<br /><br />I do like Kim Hye-soo a lot, but I don't think Kichise Michiko is the first person I would have thought of to take on such a role though.astromantichttps://astromantic.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33003857.post-24492134518016932992018-04-03T00:55:41.922+08:002018-04-03T00:55:41.922+08:00I'd have thought either Suzuki Kyoka or Koizum...I'd have thought either Suzuki Kyoka or Koizumi Kyoko would be more suitable for Kim Hye-soo's role. Kichise is okay, but she tends to get typecast and isn't normally an actress I'd watch just for her - that said, I'm not particularly fond of Kim Hye-soo either and was a bit meh about Cha Soo-hyun, so there's that. <br /><br />I haven't seen anything by Sakaguchi junnyhttp://usagitoneko.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33003857.post-27933691708611242732018-04-02T14:23:45.865+08:002018-04-02T14:23:45.865+08:00To answer your question, it has -- a bit!

To me the most memorable role was that of Ahn Chi-soo ("evil", but also tragic/monster created by a corrupt system, and I think the guy playing him in this version will do well. I just hope he's as astromantichttps://astromantic.netnoreply@blogger.com
