Lhia's Music Notes. Not Angka Lagu Ost. Entri Populer. The first episode was kind of draggy, and I had mixed feelings after watching the first episode.
It wasn't bad or good. So I moved on to the second episode, which is actually better. Jung SoMin is a great actress!
She's a hoot to watch. She will definitely make it big after her role here. I'm looking forward to more of your recaps [if you so choose to continue] and more episodes.
I'm hoping that it won't be like Personal Taste where it started out good, but you start to notice all the faults[music at the wrong time, bad writing etc], minus the actors. I gave it a chance, but I ended up wasting 10 hours of my life on something that I should have stopped watching after five.
You're fast! I was expecting PK recap to be done sometime later, but this is fast! Thanks JB! The Goong similarities reaaaally bothers me. Especially the last teddy bear parts. In Goong, I kinda look forward to it, but in PK, the trick doesn't work anymore. But I'm keeping my hopes still. She had crush that's known by the whole school, feeling foolish about it, but without looking foolish or dumb at all.
As for KHJ, his acting was.. You called him "Duckie". I called him Bowser. Pretty in Pink vs. Sha Na Na.
Age is funny that way. I enjoyed the first episode due mostly to Jung So Min. In the Taiwanese adaptation, I liked the drama as a whole but I found Ariel Lin's portrayal of the female lead incredibly annoying. Yet, Jung So Min takes the same annoying character and makes her lovable. I find the character identical but definitely likeable. As for, KHJ I personally don't think he has improved. Since his character has a cold demeanor, he doesn't need to exhibit much facial expressions but the parts where a little emotion seemed necessary, I thought he fell short.
Although I was very fond of Goong and the bear theme, I thought this drama should have taken a more original route.
I always wondered how this drama would end. The manga was technically never completed, the anime ended with the happily ever after with career and marriage , and the dramas wrapped up after they got married. It was pretty bad for an opening. It was as if there had been a whole mixture of different drama genres during the first half and then, this drama found its own pace and genre only at the end.
And I really liked episode 2! I hope the next episodes will be as funny as this one or even better. But they should have made a different and better opening and the dream sequences are too weird for my taste.
I really don't understand exact reason but I've some guesses. PK is more for the young group. Glad to see your staying optimistic about the show JB, I agree with everyone who said the second episode was an improvment. It was still a little quicker paced. I'm going to continue to watch next week! I can't watch drams without subtitles because my knowledge of Korean consists of broken phrases and the alphabet. Unfortunately not enough for a television program. Therefore, I skimmed this episode without much comprehension.
However, I have seen the Taiwanese version and I know how this story will play out, unless they make drastic changes. One, Kim Hyun-joong didn't suck nearly as much as I thought he would.
Actual line delivery and the small emotional range his character is required to show was actually carried out quite well and not nearly as horrendous as I was fearing. He seemed to have a bit more trouble when it came to expressing something facially, something his costar, Jung So-min seemed to excel in. However, the difference wasn't so offputting as to unbalance the great energy those two seem to have together, so I'm not complaining.
Two, the feel of the drama. The similarities to Goong didn't bother me so much because in Goong, I was always aware of the fact that the world they had constructed wasn't entirely real.
Even in the school scenes, there was a wisp of fantasy floating about. However, in Playful Kiss that same feeling of fantasy translated into wistfulness for me and maybe a bit of nostalgia. Like this happened a long time ago and now a mother is telling this story to her child. This slight air of poignancy makes this a much more interesting drama to me especially considering the source material, which frankly, didn't translate well at all into the Taiwanese version. Which brings me to There's bound to be plenty of comparisons, and I really think this one has the edge.
It's really amazing how two different teams can take the same source material and come up with such different results. I think that's why I might be so partial to this as opposed to other better dramas: It took an already overdone story and turned it into something new.
Something equally as impressive considering the obvious similarities between this and the other versions. It's not perfect. Far from it.
But tonally, this drama fits my mood exactly. Are you guys serious? I can't believe this. I'm sure people are just bias against Taiwanese dramas in general. They may not have a fanatic fan following like K-dramas or J-dramas, but there are some decent stuff in there, albeit not many. It was definetely much more than Hwang In Roi's directing here, who's just can't seem to free himself from the box.
I thought I was a fan, but I am no longer so. I found the first episode slow, oh so slow. As the episode progressed though, I found it a lot more enjoyable. Kim Hyun Joong isn't cardboard like he was as Jihoo. I think this role suits him a lot better. I adore Jung So-Min. I loved the Taiwanese version but I always had an issue with Ariel Lin's portrayal. I thought she played her extremely dimwitted that it became a fault and not an endearing characteristic.
Jung So-Min's Ha-ni has a innocent charm and her lack of wit doesn't diminish her character; it just enhances it. Hopefully the Goong comparisons will add to the drama and not detract from it and I hope they get better ratings. Oh this episode almost killed me from the boredom!!!
And the comparison with Goong was not impressing. AT ALL!! She even wears pants under her uniform like the lead female character in Goong!! But I didn't give up hope cause I love the storyline and I'm happy to say episode 2 is a step up, not by a whole lot but it was still better than the first I hope the writers make the storyline their own like they did with BBF!!
I actually like where this drama is going, and I think episode two is even stronger than the first less daydream sequences, maybe? More funny? Episode 1 was disappointing but I think ep 2 made up for it. I have to say I love the female lead. She's adorable and has pretty good chemistry with KHJ. Woot woot! I think I'm in as long as they have of plenty of real kisses not that pressing his lips to her chin deal.
Now that I think about it, u-know yunho's drama heading to the ground even got better rating than this, its lowest is only at 4. Thanks for the recap I was half-expecting you not to write one given all the negativity surrounding the first episode!
Personally, I ff-ed most of the fantasy sequences; they're cute but they're just too long-winded for my taste. And the bears at the end Goong much?? But I'm still onboard. I don't care about the ratings but really, it's just sad , and episode 2 does pick up the pace, so I'm going to keep on watching.
I'm guessing most of the people following this avidly online, and continuing to like it despite all the bad news, are those who have originally watched the other versions and would like to see a different, more kdrama take on the story. IS it riding on the popularity of the manga and the Taiwanese version? But we fans do expect more; expecting to be surprised and fall in love all over again. But at this point, PK could be more, honestly. I sort of wish Ha-Ni displayed a bit more dumbness.
Ha-Ni is a definite improvement on the Kotoko character which is getting a bit dated for and I am enjoying JSM's portrayal of her, but I don't feel like the level between her and Seung-jo is that far apart right now since they seemed to make it a point in this episode of showing off Ha-Ni as being quite talented but just doesn't do well in school.
She could draw very well. She knows exactly where a stuck can is in the machine and knows where exactly to tap-kick the machine. The only negative thing we saw about her is the D that Seung-jo gives her. I think the writer is overcompensating for the Kotoko-dumbness that this Kotoko Ha-Ni doesn't feel much like an underdog to me anymore. And I think we need that underdog aspect to make the drama more exciting.
Other comments. Love the Bye Bye Sea band and the potential teacher story. Actually I'm more excited for the teacher couple than for our lead couple at the moment. Disliked Ha Ni's friends. Enjoyed Joon-Gu. Neutral-ish on the KHJ acting. I heard episode 2 was better. I haven't watched it yet, but i really hope they will get rid of the bears.
If they MUST have two stuffed animals renacting the scene- why not rabbits? I think it would have been fun for this show to sneak in a goong parody- but now that it seems like it's reusing some of the goong stuff for serious- not sure if a parody would work.
I agree, although the original Kotoko was so dumb that she was annoying at times - and had zero talents - I feel like Ha Ni is almost too talented to be the underdog, as you've said. It lessens the contrast between them, and blurs the edges of what should be the main conflict in this drama. We'll have to see how it plays out. Kotoko may be majorly flawed, but she's not completely so that she has no redeeming qualities.
But yes, i agree, it does seem like this show is over-compensating for the Kotoko-dumbness, but i don't think it makes her less of an underdog. Honestly, if they make her any more dumber, i don't think i'd have to patience to continue it.
Thinly veiled, hahaha. Here's to hoping. Hwang did well with Jung Ilwoo, so that's an optimistic thing. The inflections in his singing remind me of Kim Jong Wan of nell a lot even the songs have sort of the same feel --thankfully he has a pretty distinct voice I can't help but ask: Is that a wig? My favorite part about them in I Am Legend is when their manager defends, "They're not pretty like FT Island but my boys are going to succeed on talent!
I love that part! And then immediately I was like, is that what I sound like when talking about Hong-ki? I really liked "Starlight Falls" so I only hope the soundtrack of the drama is just as good. How long is the drama going to be, btw?
Sorry, I mean JB's first posting. You guys know what I mean. So hard to keep track of who posts what! I'm actually looking forward to this. They seems to be very down to earth and carefree so they won't have certain reserves. I think this will be a good start for them I thought they looked familiar in the teaser posters. I'm excited.
