I had time to restart my rewatch of Empress Ki and what do you know? One of my all time fave sequences, a powerless emperor and hunted by everyone fighter love of his life, does it get better? No, it doesn't!

But also awwww, at her still trying to keep him out of it:

It does not work.

Of course she says she's fine, she'd say it if her leg got cut off but what makes me feral is his taking his royal headband and tying it around her wound...

This is literally my favorite sequence in the ENTIRE drama!

Cool under pressure, is baby emperor!

It's so continuous how powerless he is, because he is asked to provide explanations as to why he's freaking bathing. That's insane. I love his hauteur serving him well.

AAAAA!!! This is my favorite moment in the whole drama - TH diving into the pool (in front of general evil, to boot) to give some air to SN via kissing the utter amazing insane gloriousness!

I love himmmm, cool under pressure.

But the moment the general leaves, he loses it. MMMMMMMMM!!!

Glorious, glorious, glorious. It's a little bit like the LSS x baby general dynamic in AJTL but different enough I get why they are the endgame.

7 Korean Dramas that Faced Netizens’ Backlash

Korean Dramas are not only a purpose of entertainment to us fans but those are a mode of escapism from daily life blues. Most of the time Korean dramas are fun and fulfilling, sometimes, though, they are disappointing, and sometimes they face some kind of complicated and mixed reactions. On rare occasions Korean dramas face huge backlash from the netizens.

In Korean Drama history there are more than one drama to be canceled or cut short due to the unbound backlash that those faced. And today I am going to offer you 7 of those Korean dramas, which were either canceled or cut short due to netizen’s backlash.

So, without wasting any more time, let’s get into the list!

10 Korean Dramas that were cut short or canceled

1. Wolf (2006)

In the 2006 Korean drama Wolf, Eric Mun, a beloved figure in the Korean entertainment scene, was originally cast to portray Bae Dae-chul. The storyline revolved around a romantic rivalry between Bae Dae-chul and Han Ji-soo, played by Han Ji Min, both vying for the affection of Yoon Sung-mo, portrayed by Uhm Tae Woong.

The production of Wolf was progressing smoothly until an unfortunate incident occurred during filming. Both lead actors, Mun and Uhm, suffered injuries when they were accidentally struck by a stunt car. This unforeseen setback forced an immediate halt in production.

Initially, there was optimism that filming would resume once Mun and Uhm recovered from their injuries. However, as time passed, a series of postponements ensued, eventually leading to the regrettable decision to cancel the entire project.

The incident not only impacted the physical well-being of the two actors but also dealt a significant blow to the momentum and continuity of the production. The cancellation left fans disappointed, as they were eagerly anticipating the resolution of the complex love triangle that had been unfolding.

Despite the setback, the legacy of Wolf endures as a testament to the unpredictable challenges that can arise in the world of television production, where even the most carefully planned projects can be derailed by unforeseen circumstances.

2. A Beautiful Mind (2016)

A modern reinterpretation of the timeless Frankenstein narrative, 2016 Korean drama Beautiful Mind centered around Lee Young-oh, impeccably portrayed by Jang Hyuk, a neurosurgeon renowned for his technical prowess but severely lacking in empathy. The plot unfolded within the confines of a hospital, where Lee Young-oh found himself entangled in the perplexing enigma of unexplained deaths.

Originally slated for a 16-episode run, the fantastical Korean drama faced an abrupt truncation, concluding prematurely at the 14th episode mark. The decision to curtail its run was prompted by subpar viewership ratings that failed to meet expectations.

Despite its initial promise, the show grappled with dwindling audience engagement, reflected in its highest Nielsen Korea rating of 4.7% during the third episode. Unfortunately, this peak was short-lived, as subsequent episodes witnessed a gradual decline in viewership, culminating in a modest 2.8% rating for its penultimate showing.

The untimely demise of the series left its narrative threads dangling, and the abbreviated episode count disappointed both fans and critics who had anticipated a more extensive exploration of the intriguing storyline.

In the fickle landscape of television, where audience reception plays a pivotal role, the fate of this modern Frankenstein adaptation serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictable nature of viewer preferences and the challenging terrain that TV productions navigate.

The Forbidden Love I Love

I realized all my favorite ships and pairings are from a "they were not supposed to fall in love " trope. All from a tv series, too. It doesn't matter if they were the end game. They just clicked and their story were damn epic and memorable.

Here are my top 3 couples in the last 20 years

Tommy and Grace from Peaky Blinders (British)

Top 1

Never had a thing for Spy x Gangster love story even on books but this one hits different. All major thanks to the actors who made is so fookin believable. Annabelle Wallis and Cillian Murphy. Both were perfectly casted. To hell with haters. Chemistry on Fire. Epic tv series but mind you, very dark, too and disturbing. Yet it has a haunting, heart wrenching beautiful love story. It makes you forget, the show is not a love story but because of these two, its a freaking ode of a Mob Boss who fell in love with a an enigmatic undercover and who moved heaven and earth grieving and trying to move on. They ended up together, short lived though tragically he is still in love with her even in the after life.

Top 2

Emperor Ta Hwan and Empress Ki (Tanyang couple)- Empress Ki (Korean)

This was my number one until PK came along but this still holds a very special place in my heart. Still the better show than PK and still has my favorite kissing scene of all time in this underwater scene. A magnificent korean tv series, with numerous awards and all star cast. Ji Chang Wook and Ha Ji Wony favorote korean pairing, ever. The 50 episodes were nothing short of incredible. Based loosely from a real Empress Ki. An epic, powerful portrayal of sad, another tragic love story with war, madness, politics, ambition and power at the forefront. My forever top Koreanovela. Very Top Notch!

Top 3

Lana and Clark - Smallville (American)

In the movies, its always Lois Lane but here, nobody can deny Kristen Kreuk and Tom Welling were pure magic on screen. It made a fandom war because Lana was supposed to be this highschool crush only yet here I am one of the "Clana"warriors lol but for 8 seasons, their love story became a star crossed one. They had so much depth and made it through more but yeah, got to stick with the comics. Still, devastatingly beautiful yet tragic and their chemistry was also insane! To this day, Smallville for me is Clark Kent and Lana Lang.

It was last winter. Don't know whether I was possessed by the moonlight or the snow. I was on the way to my friend's house with a bottle of booze. And a man and a woman were fighting like crazy with some sharp swords. But they also looked like they were dancing. It was like they were making love under the moonlight as well.

#duelist #형사 #duelist (2005)#ha ji won #kang dong won #films #soomedits #if we're not going to fight like crazy with some sharp swords & it looks like we're dancing under the moonlight while it's snowing #what's the point?

Life Risking Romance (K-Movie Review)

Overall Rating: 6.5/10 (A great watch when you have nothing else to watch)

Genre: Comedy/Romance/Mystery/Thriller

Found on: Tubi (for FREE), Kocowa, Amazon Prime

Summary: During a long period of writer's block, Je-In (Ha Ji Won), a mystery crime novelist, comes across a flirtatious neighbor, Jason (Chen Bo Lin), whom she believes is a murderer. However, due to her infamy of repeatedly filing false reports on her neighbors, nobody believes her. To inspire her to write before her looming author deadline, she decides to investigate Jason, with the help of her best friend (and policeman) Rok Hwan (Chun Jung Myung). However, her budding feelings towards Jason interferes with the investigation, leaving Rok Hwan heartbroken and Je-In with more questions than answers.

🏁First Impressions:

After reading the summary, I thought this would be a sappy, over-dramatic romance like the telenovelas my mom would watch. To my surprise, the words "sappy" and "over-dramatic" are not the first words that come to mind when describing this show.

The first scenes show a "crime" taking place--the tension rising as a young woman, Je-In, hides, trying not to make a sound. This is all broken as Je-In lets out a fart that comically stinks up the whole room. (This joke is repeated some times throughout the movie. It's funny, I swear)

Just like it was clear this was going to be a thriller and comedy, it was clear Je-In and Rok Hwan's relationship was a long-time loyal one. With their light-hearted and witty bickering, it was hard not to immediately ship them.

However, Rok Hwan's tender feelings are unrequited. To my dismay, Jason enters the scene and takes Je-In's heart.

Although the charming Jason seemed like the man of everybody's dreams, I was already fond of the ever-so-loyal Rok Hwan (though he hadn't had much screen time yet), and rooted for him for the remainder of the movie.

🏳️Lasting Impressions

Although no scene left me cackling, bits of entertainment through characters, like the banter between not only Je In and Rok Hwan, but Yoo Mi (Yoon So Hee) and her secret boyfriend were happily anticipated throughout the movie. Even side characters like Rok Hwan's selfie obsessed co-worker got a smile out of me when they were on screen.

Apart from its silliness, the movie also had a few suspenseful scenes at just the right times. As Je-In scoured through Jason's apartment in search of clues, as Yoo Mi was chased in a dark alleyway, and even as Je-In fought a criminal (could it be the mystery murderer?).

I applaud the suspense and mystery highlighted carefully throughout this comedic movie, even if some of the action scenes ruined the suspense with its mediocrity.

With two male leads, there would of course be some romantic tension. Being a murder mystery, the true tension came when ...

SLIGHT SPOILER!

...a solid (and SHOCKING) clue was revealed to suspect Rok Hwan as the murderer. Not only was Je-In caught between two romantic interests, but two possible pyschos.

The chance that the beloved Rok Hwan be the murderer instead of new perfect boy-next-door Jason was agitating, but perfectly added the "mystery" into murder mystery.

The mystery wasn't clever, and it wouldn't have taken much brain power to find out who was the real killer, but that wasn't the point of the movie. The point of these two potential perpetrators purposefully tugged at your (and Je-In's) heartstrings to choose a side--loyalty and unwavering companionship or a thrilling romance that will end as soon as it starts (but never forgotten)?

Just finished watching Chocolate, starring Ha Ji won, Yoon Kye-sang, and Jang Seung-jo. What a delightful drama. A combination of sweet romance and medical drama depicting the divide between the rich and the poor and their different attitudes towards life and happiness. Beautifully written, great cinematography, and relatable protagonists. The food scenes were reminiscent of Babette’s Feast.
