Baby Don't Cry

Recommended Posts

I just finished the first episode!

 

I'm gonna be honest, I went into it with low expectations because of the reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. I haven't seen IU act before, but she seemed believable enough to me. I think Baekhyun did pretty well considering his character. I don't know what more people were expecting? This is exactly what this part calls for, but I am looking forward to seeing him do more challenging scenes later on. I think he'll do well. The acting overall wasn't perfect, but I think it will only improve from this point on. And wow, the 4th and 8th prince blew me away! They really are scene stealers.

 

The two things I didn't really like were the cinematography and the soundtrack. Some scenes were shot strangely or were just awkward, and the music did not fit the feel of the drama... It kind of takes you out of it and makes scenes lose impact. These things don't bother me too much though.

 

I can't wait for the next episode to be subbed!

I finished episode 2+3

 

~~spoilers~~

 

 

I think the acting has already gotten a lot better, particularly IU. She has such natural tension and chemistry with both male leads, and the liveliness (and simultaneous vulnerability) of her character really shines through.

 

THAT BATH SCENE WITH SO AND HAE SOO WAS SO INTENSE AND EMOTIONAL, I WAS HOLDING MY BREATH.

As for Baekhyun... A lot of people are being a bit harsh on his acting, but I think they’re forgetting that this kind of role doesn't exactly call for subtlety. Prince Eun is blatant comic relief and I think Baekhyun pulls this off well enough. Could someone else do better? Sure. But I think he's hardly as bad as people are making him out to be. I think the true test lies in how he will cope doing a more serious scene and it seems like we’ll definitely see something later on gauging from the previews:

Baekhyun and IU’s banter is so cute and natural, especially when Prince Eun gets called out for spying on Hae Soo’s servant. THE FIGHT SCENE WAS TOO FUNNY. It was like a little kid school yard brawl, too cute.

So far, I'm definitely most impressed with Kang Ha Neul. You can easily understand and empathize with his character without him having to say too much. His acting is understated but effective.

Though Prince Wook openly telling his wife how much he likes Have Soo and how happy she makes him? Like, boy…. lmao. While I like his character, I hope nothing actually happens with Hae Soo because the cousin has been so sweet and patient. She don't deserve this lol.

 

 

These episodes were hella violent to say the least. It was a bit hard to believe that one man could so effortlessly take down so many men himself, and it seemed like the assassins were defying gravity at times, but I guess I can play along. The costumes the last two episodes were stunning, especially for the ritual. Gorgeous.

 

The random zooming in continues to be distracting and it seems like some things are shot lazily? Idk, it could be better.

 

That's all that's coming to mind rn. I like the drama so far, can't wait for the next subbed episode!

 

 

EDIT:// OH. and queen yoo is so awful, I love it.

I'm a bit ashamed but... I still didn't understand who 4th Prince's mother is.

I thought it was the evil queen, but then she said she only wanted a child of hers to become the crown prince and I was like "isn't 4th prince your child too?". Is 4th prince's mother the king's previous wife?

edit: im too slow lol

Well, if you look at the wiki entries for the real Wang Yo and Wang So, they have the same mother. But then again, it's wiki.

 

 

I actually am worried about Lady Hae. I hope Wook's blatantly saying HaeSoo makes him happy doesn't make her angry at HaeSoo at some point. After all, HaeSoo is a daughter to her.

 

 

But why do I have a feeling Lady Hae would succumb to her illness in this drama? I believe she will entrust Wook into HaeSoo on her deathbed - to continue making him happy.

 

 

 

The thought of her dying didn't even cross my mind, but it would make sense ugh.  :cry:

 

Either that or Hae Soo might give into temptation, but later realize that something similar happened to her (someone close to her stealing her partner) and reconsider her actions. This would pave the way for Hae Soo and the 4th Prince to be endgame~ or whatever.
