So i know it's been a while since i did a post but i promise you that i am absolutely still watching dramas but just been busy and not yet reviewed much.
So to update you, yes i am watching lee min ho's new drama ''faith''. (spoilers ahead) Watched the first two episodes and thought that lee min ho once again portrays his character very well though he could work on his expressions more. I know the whole point of his character is to be ''cool'' but i think that this can be portrayed easily by not only walking around grumpily (haha).
Kim hee sun deserves praise for portraying her character also- especially since she
has to play the role of a surgeon and watch those bloody scenes which i turn away from the screen during.
Secondally, i have many things to rant about this drama. Yes, i know dramas arent perfect- but when they are supposed to portray real life or situations within real life... Its kinda hard to not notice when there are many imperfections.
First of all- we are told that only one person can enter the time warp door... And we go through the whole chaos with the men deciding on who should go in- and yet, lee min ho comes out with another person- thats two of them?!
Also, the story at the beginning of hwa ta tells us that he walked into the time warp- so...does that mean hwa ta is in the present? Or has he died since the myth was already a long time ago.
Oh yeah- and when kim hee sun went through the time warp- did she not feel anything? Cause when lee min ho came to the present- the energy from the time warp came as a shock to him. But kim hee sun didnt seem to take anything from the shock when she switched periods and spent the whole last 2 episodes questionning the location and whether the were ''filming''
And lastly- lee min ho is supposed to be immortal with his magic powers- so when he got stabbed- why did he have to get her to help him in order for him to live?
I know i've referred to the characters as the actual actors, but please dont worry about that. I havent become familiar with their names yet- so i'll deffo use their names in the future.
And also- i know i shouldnt take the drama storyplotting way too seriously- but i cant help questionning the ambiguity and the incompletion.
But the drama does seem interesting and im interested to see how lee min ho is going to keep his promiose regarding sending kim hee sun back to the present since the time warp door only opens every 300 years.
The second drama that i've been watching is ''five fingers'. I've only managed to watch one episode of this- and currently the second episode has just been released. However- judging by the first episode- this drama has already swept me off my feet completely.
I love dramas that have a good opening and this definitely defines what one of these are. I love how it opens up on the main characters from their young kid ages. It gives me this sort of ''kim tak gu baking king'' and ''can you hear my heart'' feel to it- and I have a feeling that this is going to be just as good as both.
The beginning opens up on the older them however- and leaves behind a cliffhanger and this clever trick by the screenwriter keeps us intrigued in the drama. For those of you who've watched the first episode will know what I'm talking about. I think how they used the flames and the whole screaming really created tension and drama and this memorable scene catches our attention by the necks.
It's been a while since I've seen a music related drama (dream high was the last one). The only difference between dream high and Five fingers is how dream high focuses on modern music, and performance art whereas five fingers focuses on classical music and orchestral performance.
I'm absolutely a huge fan of classical music and have been hungry for something like this. A movie I've seen that focuses on classical music and orchestral performance is ''secret''- a taiwanese movie directed by the famous Jay Chou. Even though the music played sounds rigid rather than full of improvisation and free flowing like ''secret'' was- I'm still willing to give the music a chance since it's only been 1 episode and i'm sure more can follow on from chopin's etude (which is an all time favourite piece of mine).
But yeah- so tell me what you think. I'm sorry this review isn't as detailed as I would prefer it to be, but I started this post late at night and I was tired haha.
