Baby Don't Cry

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how many episodes Moon Lovers is slated for? I'm assuming 20, going by typical K drama lengths.

Late summer release....haven't watched a K drama in years, going to give this one a chance.

 

LJK's hairstyle is appalling.

 

Just rewatched BBJX, and it was so emotionally taxing. I felt like I temporally damaged my tear ducts from all the crying.

Not that I'm expecting a full coverage of the original novel or a close adaptation of the C-drama but if the K drama is shortened to only 20 episodes then I'm curious how in depth the coverage will be.

 

BBJX demanded very nuanced & solid acting from the whole cast, it's going to be interesting to see if the Korean cast can live up the Chinese cast who was frankly amazing in line delivery & acting.

 

 

 

 

Next prince reveal!

 

I thought Hong Jonghyun was playing the 9th before, seems like his role will be reduced given the lack of 3rd prince's presence in the novel.

uh I might have trouble hating the 9th prince if it's played by this one hah

This gon be long.

 

 

Deviations from the novel & original C drama was expected but I think in trying to disassociate from the Cdrama, it resulted in a lack of nuanced & underlying tones that was present very early on. Despite being brothers, there were obvious cliques in place amongst the princes; 14th,10th,9th sided with 8th and 13th with 4th and delve deeper, you'd find even more complications between the men. I could sense the wariness some of them possess but ML so far lacks the depth and that's an issue considering this drama is only 20eps long and in 2eps, they still haven't set the proper tone.

 

I felt like they spent the entire premise of ep1 trying to trigger fan girl rxns whenever possible. The cast is good looking so its natural to milk the visuals but it just makes the production come across as shallow & ingenuine.

 

LJK & KHN were good, there's a rounded depth to their characters. HJH is eh, his role is actually promising so.., NJH's portrayal of 13th is passable, 13th becomes progressively demanding to play so we'll see. Jisoo & BH are bad. They overact and JS just feels blatantly out of place in a saeguk but he's a good actor, once he warms up to his role, he should be better.

At a glance, 10th seems like the easiest prince to play but there's a thin line between being immature, honest & non calculating to being babyish...BH was like a giant baby on screen. Cute but wtf at the same time.

 

A lot of the criticisms aimed at IU is extreme. She's not meant to have perfect (saeguk) speech, she just got hurled back in time unexpectedly, she literally drowned. Her speech would naturally refine in time. As for the acting...she is awkward but not necessarily bad.

The goggling eyes needs to be taken down a notch.

 

This is long but as the story picks up pace, hopefully the acting grows with it because they have a great source material to work with.
