TV: [Spoilers!!!] Memories of the Alhambra (Finale)

Image
Article : Finale 'Memories of the Alhambra' Park Shin Hye didn't meet deleted Hyun Bin... open ending Source : OSEN via Nate 1. [+1,711, -27] Open ending? What a joke. I've never felt so cheated after watching a drama in my life, just wow.. This is the messiest ending I've ever seen. 2. [+1,421, -24] That foolish nuisance Sejoo gets to come home after hiding the whole time while Secretary Kim died, CEO Cha died, Professor Cha died... from the first episode till the last, it's been nothing but a repeat of shooting and slaying zombies... How the hell does Sejoo just get to come home and eat like nothing's wrong? How do you have someone so stupid and pathetic as a game developer? The plot itself moved at such a desperately slow pace... How many people had to meaninglessly die? And all those absolutely useless scenes of Sejoo's flashbacks... no wonder the drama couldn't move forward. 3. [+1,359, -25] I will never be watching another drama by scriptwriter...

'Sky Castle' records 22% viewer ratings, overtakes 'Goblin' + highest cable record

Image
Article : 'Sky Castle' overtakes 'Goblin' hitting 22% viewer ratings 'highest record on cable' Source : Newsen via Nate 1. [+1,037, -39] This drama surpassed 'Goblin' long ago. 'Goblin' aired at 9 pm while 'Sky Castle' airs at 11 pm, so you 'Goblin' got an extra buff of around 3%. 2. [+791, -11] 22%, daebak crazy ㅜㅜ 3. [+702, -10] I have a feeling that after Kim Jooyoung either dies or goes to jail, Assistant Jo will be the next Kim Jooyoung... All their evils won't just disappear because of this one incident. 4. [+70, -1] Yeseo's going crazy. Han Seojin better wake up and start taking care of her kid. Her greed is going to cause catastrophe. 5. [+69, -4] I never watched 'Goblin' but I am watching 'Sky Castle' 6. [+56, -1] My mom normally goes to bed at 11 but she stays up late to catch this drama, it's amazing... 7. [+39, -4] The best drama I've ever seen out of my 50 years of life~ I couldn't ...

Parents interested in hiring high profile consultants after popularity of 'Sky Castle'

Image
Article : "Please make my daughter like Yeseo" 'Sky Castle' popularity sees surge in academy consulting questions Source : Joongang Ilbo via Nate 1. [+1,260, -12] The point of the drama was to make society more conscious of the pressures of school admissions and yet Korea is filled with nothing but Kwak Mihyangs who'll do anything to send their kids to Seoul University 2. [+855, -13] Can people please just watch a drama for what it is ㅋㅋ 3. [+593, -25] It's because these parents are messed up that their kids are a mess character-wise. Shouldn't a drama like this encourage you as the adult, the parent, to fix your ways and make sure that your kid isn't messed up? I have no idea why Korea's education system is such a mess. All parents care about is how much they can brag about their child's profession to others and what societal position their careers earn them. This is why our country isn't advancing but going backwards, and why we'll ne...

TV: 'Memories of the Alhambra' dashes initial thrill with confusing plot development

Image
Article : Frustrating and stuffy 'Alhambra', hard to even continue watching out of loyalty Source : Newsen via Nate 1. [+750, -48] No but really, what's the point of Go Yoora and Park Shin Hye's older brother's characters? Are they only in the story to drag it out? Two useless ex-wives took up all that time, and I don't really see a point in their characters at all... I won't be watching next episode. If I knew this would happen, I would've only watched up to episodes 15-16 and known all I needed to know about the plot ㅡㅡ What a waste of time watching the whole thing until now. 2. [+716, -22] The drama's basically one big video pictorial for Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye. They're so bad at incorporating PPL that it's funny how obvious they're trying to throw it all in now that it's almost over. 3. [+651, -12] I wish the scriptwriter knew a bit more about games.. She wouldn't need to drag the plt out so much like this.. how disappoint...

Jung Hae In in talks for another drama with Son Ye Jin

Article : [Exclusive] Jung Hae In in talks for leading 'Spring Night'... romance again with Son Ye Jin Source : X Sports News via Nate 1. [+1,846, -86] Once was enough 2. [+1,476, -80] Again;? 3. [+1,311, -149] The two don't match at all 4. [+165, -5] Getting cast together so soon after their previous drama is going to cause an overlap with it... it ruins the experience for the viewer. 5. [+147, -4] If the producer has a brain, he wouldn't pair them up as a couple again 6. [+122, -7] So f*cking boring.. 7. [+114, -4] Not even a cameo? Another lead? They have no one better? 8. [+111, -3] They had a drama together right before ㅋㅋ I don't know who the casting guy is but that's thoughtless ㅋㅋ 9. [+92, -12] Tired of Center Jung 10. [+91, -5] People still haven't forgotten his image from his previous drama, this is too early - Source : Naver 1. [+6,687, -89] Eh come on, this isn't right 2. [+1,684, -32] It'd be better for them to work with different actors...

IU cast as lead in new tvN drama

Image
Article : [Exclusive] IU cast as lead in tvN's 'Hotel De Luna', "Set for broadcast this summer" Source : Ilgan Sports via Nate 1. [+457, -68] Oh, this is the drama Jun Ji Hyun was going to do~ Reading the synopsis now, I think Jun Ji Hyun would've matched it really well. It's the type of character that she's good at. 2. [+375, -129] ... Sure ㅎ 3. [+212, -79] Wow, she never takes a break 4. [+86, -34] I wonder why IU keeps acting? She says she has no greed for more wealth so it's not for the money... why is she so greedy about acting? It's not like she has a natural talent for it ㅋㅋ and her visuals are far from actress-tier... Isn't music what she's best at and likes most? That's why she debuted as a singer, no? ㅋㅋ I wish she'd stick to her original career... 5. [+68, -40] Please stop acting... 6. [+56, -23] Hul... how did this go from Jun Ji Hyun to IU... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ such different tiers... 7. [+41, -49] IU is so beautiful 8. [+37, -...

How much of reality is 'Sky Castle' based on?

Image
Article : "There's really a coordinator?" Seoul Medical University students react to 'Sky Castle' Source : SBS via Nate 1. [+894, -11] I'm sure there are even stricter jobs than just a coordinator among the wealthy. The reality of these college entrance stories are more tragic than the drama. 2. [+853, -5] So there really are mentors who are paid 5 million won an hour.. 3. [+826, -23] Yes.. there really are coordinators who are paid 5 million won per hour.. 4. [+99, -1] I know it's mostly the uber wealthy who can afford these coordinators, but the truly wealthy aren't so obsessed with making sure their kids become lawyers and doctors. There's a famous saying among them that lawyers and doctors aren't something you 'become' but something you 'use'. 5. [+89, -0] I used to go to school in Gangnam and stuff like this was already around 10 years ago. There were coordinators who would pick you up after school and manage your time unti...

TV: 'Sky Castle' dominates JTBC viewer ratings

Image
Article : 'Sky Castle' writes new records... JTBC's highest viewer ratings in history, #1 in trends for the third week in a row Source : TV Report via Nate 1. [+882, -11] After seeing Seri, I'm concerned already for Paguk ajusshi's mentality.. 2. [+710, -11] It's so fun.. even the kids are so good at acting.. 3. [+673, -7] Paguk ajusshi's a great actor, and for some reason, I think Yum Jung Ah's ending is going to be so scary 4. [+100, -4] I'm going crazy with how good this drama is... What's unique is that there's not one character in this drama who is inherently evil. They all have stories of their own but none of them are evil at the roots. They're all chaebols but for some reason, you feel pity for them. There's also no romance story line, which is one of the downfalls of Korean drama writers... Everyone's great at acting, down to the child actors. The plot moves fast, unlike other dramas that drag things out... Another birth ...

So Ji Sub wins daesang at the '2018 MBC Drama Awards'

Image
Article : [MBC Drama Awards] So Ji Sub wins first daesang after 23 years... 'My Secret Terrius' wins 7 crowns Source : Ilgan Sports via Nate 1. [+568, -50] If they gave daesang to So Ji Sub, shouldn't Heo Jun Ho be given excellence? I thought it was ridiculous that he wasn't even nominated for daesang. 2. [+535, -34] Why not give excellence to someone else if they're going to end up giving him daesang.. 3. [+348, -53] Wow... So Ji Sub-ssi, congratulations on daesang!!! Round of applause~!! 4. [+49, -5] How does So Ji Sub get more and more humble as he ages... It's about time he won. 5. [+48, -10] Why not give Heo Jun Ho excellence if you're going to give him daesang... 6. [+42, -6] Why give So Ji Sub both excellence and daesang, why not give excellence to Heo Jun Ho!!!! Heo Jun Ho's acting alone was honestly worth daesang already  ㅠㅠㅠㅠ he deserves more than the PD award and golden acting award ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ 7. [+38, -3] I think they gave it to him because '...
