So, watched the cooking show raw, and I have three questions-
1- what on earth is the theme of the show? It looks like they randomly bought ingredients and cooked them. Wasn't there supposed to be a travel aspect? of them cooking local ingredients?! aren't they going to be taught by people?
2- Is it me or do the sport's guys look like they can already cook?
3- What was CTH trying to make?
Is it travel and cook? Like the one I saw recently where some others travelled to Africa to cook food etc etc

I hope so, LMH spent 6 months for this drama and just 8 eps,I hope it's worth and he waited 2 months free until Canada shooting (after Korea shooting) he lost time 2 months I didn't like this waiting time , if he completed drama 2 months ago maybe he could start another drama and we don't know how many he has screnntime. (because Hansu has so little screen in book) .I hope drama will be so successful.
Originally yes but It is an adaption and revised we also had Hansu film in these 6 months nonestop. Which means there is alot of screentime. I also believe Pachinko has alot of seasons I think perhaps 4 seasons or perhaps 3 and. It is a generational story and in order to cover it multiple seasons is needed. Hansu is the lead actor in 1st season and reoccuring in the second and his not in the 3 season.
He dies somehwere in the second season where the 3rd generation films 3rd season. The main female lead also dies in second season

Look at same news again but they don't say first air date for Dr. Brain, if they started to shooting dr. brain , Pachinko already completed. They are just technicality words, if they know date they already said.
One of the first Korean shows that subscribers can watch on Apple TV+ is a Lee Min Ho-starrer drama series called “Pachinko” which will also star Youn Yuh Jung who recently won the Best Supporting Actress at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards for her role in “Minari.”
Another original Korean content is the sci-fi thriller titled “Dr. Brain.” This was created based on the popular webtoon and will star another SAG Award winner Lee Sun Kyun for “Parasite.” These titles are the first Korean-language shows on Apple TV+.
Apple+ is award motivated mostly and both titles seems to be intended for targetting awards. Min Je Lee's Pachinko is highly acclaimed book and then you bring in Parasite director to also throw in his hat into another series which indicts both are geared towards awards. Apple+ has also been winning most awards with their originals. I hope LMH gets a golden Globe award for Hansu

I actully decided to check it out but have to agree it had potential but the only issues was them not really going far or as you said let the chase continue on the mainland and it seems like they wanna run away but never really went far and just in circle
Exactly that was one of the issues and it had other plotholes

I have currently unsubscribed my UK netflix account due to the increase
You are not missing out on much currently but I guess during september-october there will be big releases you wanna re-sub at that period. The only release recently was Sky Rojo and it was a massive failure. It couldn't live up to vis-a-vis or Money Heist it was hyped up as the next big spanish hit. Geolocation wise it was also a mess. We are suppose to be on an island off the coast of Morocco there is not much space to be driving around that much because you are not on the main land in Spain or Morocco.. I lost a brain cell watching that and to many hookers everywhere

I came across this hilarious picture of LMH transformed into a female but weird enough as a guy I can confirm that his absolute strongest points has transfered well from a guy to female. His undeniable gifts are his eyes but they transfered even to his photoshopped female version. Strange! He could have functioned as a great actress as-well.
These cheecky eyes says more then words. Like a girl who knows one or two things.. Just the extremely playfulness and checkiness has transfered quite well

Lee Min Ho in Italy: the actor was recognized as an Artist of the Hallyu wave
There is no doubt for Lee Min Ho fans that the actor is one of the most impressive artists of the Hallyu wave (which continues to conquer the world). Now in Italy they have recognized the great talent and work that the Pachinko actor has done throughout his almost 15 years of experience in the K-drama industry.
Panorama magazine has highlighted the 34-year-old Korean artist, etc, as "the shining stars of this amazing cultural revolution."
This news was received with great emotion by the Minoz of Italy , and was shared on social networks, where it became a trend because the actor was one of the few artists mentioned in this article.
Likewise, Lee Min Ho's fans shared photographs from Panorama magazine to, in turn, make them reach Asian fandoms, mainly from South Korea, Japan and China, where the actor has a great presence.
And this is the English translation of the textual quotation that Panorama magazine made to Lee Min Ho.
“However, Apple TV + will definitely bring the Hallyu wave to the United States, which first launched the global production of Pachinko, a series based on the novel of the same name by Min Ji Lee, and which will be filmed in Korea, Japan. , Canada and the United States. In the stellar cast, the name of Lee Min-ho stands out, 'the prince' par excellence of the television series ”.
On March 16, the first stills of Lee Min Ho's filming in Canada for Pachinko , a drama that is produced by Apple TV + , were leaked .
The actor was seen wearing a suit and the scar at the height of his eyebrow was striking.
As is known, Lee Min Ho will play a merchant with ties to the mafia in Pachinko . The release date has yet to be confirmed by production.
There is also a dutch edition of the Panorama Magazine it is based in Italy, Milan and one of the oldest film magazine from 1939. Lee Min Ho is slowly recognized across the continent. It is just hard to not notice the man. With all that fanfare, noise and success. His worthy of knighthood and I have no doubt that he will recieve one of these from the french art ministry in the coming years

Agreed
Also agree. I thought the made up story between the two friends was so contrived and cliche. Also the "bad" friend's actions never made sense. Just bad writing. And Hwi was essentially Bang Won split. They credited him with the things that in actuality were done by the real Bang won, to make him look smarter. When if they focused on Bang won, the story would have been so much more coherent. If it was just about his relationships with his father, brothers and wife- we would have gotten an epic show!
Exactly! We got no justification for OHJ's grief, except for JH's acting. Remember that when we initially heard about the premise, I thought that it sounded as if it was Dr. LYO losing his "sunshine". If they would have showed us an extraordinary woman that manages to break through OHJ genius and coldness and reach his heart, similarly to what happened in BM, we would have had an amazingly tragic love story. But the problem was that the show was focused on the wrong thing, exemplified by the name of the show- "Tell me what you saw". The thing is that that premise was actually made redundant as soon as OHJ got out of his lair. It was as redundant and the idiotic super-hearing idea in Voice.
It feels like OHJ was an after thought. That they had a basic idea that they didn't really think through, and by the time JH got his hands on him, he developed him into a character that was much bigger than the premise of the show, and they didn't know how to handle him.
That's exactly the thing- it was never explained to us why he had such good connection in the underworld, and why was he so proficient in killing and torture. A simple profiler shouldn't have all those traits...
I actually wouldn't recommend Wok of Love- it one of the only JH shows that I dropped. JH is not the lead, and the main FL is extra annoying
1 hour ago, budgerie said:I definitely don't recommend Wok of Love. Have you watched Beautiful Mind? This one is good if you like doctor kind of plot. JH acting here is good. He acts as a man without emotion.
Have you watched Money Flower? Have you watched My Country? I recommend you to watch MC. Even though JH isn't the lead, his acting as Bang Won nailed it. And you must watch Money Flower too.
Exactly! It would have been good. The bad writing in MC + the bad editing. Remember we were so upset about the fighting scene which made BW hair looked a mess but we didn't know why.
For a girl to be able to be OHJ fiance, she should be someone who could "warm" OHJ heart. The drama should show a different side of OHJ - his softer side when he's with his fiance & the deep love they shared which caused him to grief for so long but the drama didn't tell us what we saw.
I didn't drop WOL but I ff watching only JH scenes. I get terribly annoyed with FL came on scene. Not her ya. Her screen character + her hair. But I dropped TMWYS. I actually got bored.
Well noted with the recommandation. I have watched Money Flower previously. But I dropepd My country. I saw it when it aired and it had alot of hype but it somehow didn't ignite chemistry between the leads and it had recognizable names on the cast Jang Hyuk, Seolhyun and Woo Do-Hwan. I know JH was not the lead but I was unfamiliar with the ML Yang se-jong they should have switched between him and Woo Do-Hwan. The bromance didn't quite do it for me nor the romance. The story itself was to vast. I like Seolhyun and Woo Do-Hwan. I agree JH was awesome in his part.
You shouldn't have dropped TMWYS tho it becomes a rollarcoaster. I thought Eum Moon-suk as the rural cop did a phenomenal job to make it a good dance with JH's character. His an underrated actor imo. His recently also cast in Yoo Ha's movie pipeline. I hope to see him getting lead roles soon. Just from that performance it should automatically promote him to lead role

Actually with OHJ that type of look, he should act as a gangster. I mean, his gangster role or ex gangster role in WOL was to me comical. He looked more cartoon than gangster.
I haven't actully watched work of love yet but it is on my watchlist. He could play a gangster or an eccentric persona with that look.
I did catch Ordinary person few months back tho I thought it was good

@Wis dom Welcome! I too feel sorry for everyone involved in that drama. So much work will go to waste now that they are planning to “fix” it.
About TMWYS lol! Its interesting to have a male perspective. That drama did many things well but also wasted so much of its potential. I agree.
3 hours ago, budgerie said:Sorry am slow, I don't get you. In what kind of setup?
In both BW that he played, his wife didn't exist. Hahaha! In history, she was smart/ambitious (political ambitious) who assisted BW to ascend the throne. But we had none of these in EOL & in MC.
And if you remember the 1 scene which they had, she lying down on the sofa when he came home, he was not "lovey dovey" as a young couple would. I thought he was polite but distant.
@Wis domWelcome! Have fun with all of us here!
6 hours ago, Biology Lesson said:Oh! I didn't know about this controversy... I actually have wondered about the extent to which China AND Japan have influenced Korea. I don't know much about Korea's history except for what I saw in Kdramas. I wonder where this situation is leading... Hope nothing bad and that it will stick to fighting over who invented what
@dramafan33 thanks for the info.
I agree. The subject matter sounds silly, and JH's Bang won was too magnificent for that. But I do wonder if he was approached...
Oooo! This sounds a great idea- telling the story of Bang Won and his wife! In the little that read about her she sounds like someone really interesting. Also, I have wondered- if I remember correctly, many of his concubines and other women were actually from her retinue, so I kinda wondered- did she arrange them?
@Wis dom I would like to welcome you too! A male's perspective is always welcomed! as to TMWYS, as @dramafan33 said, I also thought that it had a lot of wasted potential. The fascinating thing was that even the producer admitted the show wasn't all it could be, and he expressed regret for not being able to help JH realize his vision!
I actually did like Jin Seo-Yeon's character, but I never thought there should be a romantic connection between them, especially not since OHJ hasn't gotten over the death of his fiancé yet. He was still in mourning, so I don't think he was emotionally available for anything romantic. One of the missed opportunities for me of the show was that they didn't actually show why OHJ fell in love with his fiancé in the first place, being the complex character that he was. They didn't delve enough into that past of his...
Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Yes I agree but the director is being also humble here as it was truly enjoyable for me but I noticed straight away the potential. I actually liked the concept and dress styling they gave JH in this series. They gave him that cool awesome vibe look. Like someone who has been thru all and done everything and some sort of illusionist trickester look. The romantic aspect is what it lacked especially between the leads as I wanted something between JH's character and Jin Seo-Yeon character. That is really the only place for me that I would have added on but as far as the plot itself and the intrigue it was great.
I would actully like them both to run it back. Do another drama together this time a romantic drama perhaps a melo with a different concept. I think there is potential in this pairing and it should be explored. I am all up for them running it back.

@Wis dom Perhaps I am wrong, but it seemed to me that MYM was interested in statistics, because in the letter you must indicate from which country the addressee and the date of his acquaintance with the work of Lee Min Ho, and this is individual information. So I don't really know how you can write a collective message.

I think you can do either. I haven't even started mine. You should totally do it; I'm sure LMH would appreciate a male perspective. Will you join us for the TKEM rewatch? It starts April 17, with festivities a couple days before.
Yes. I decided to come out of lurking. thanks for the reply both of you. I will send it individually as mentioned

@Biology Lesson I have read about it and it seems like a major uproar and JH dodged a big time bullet with that one and I would even say he dodged something bigger then a bullet but a train. I feel sort of sorry for the actors involved who get caught in between the firestorm. Controversy gates of this magnitude are hazardous for careers.
I recently watched the swordsman I liked both JH and Joe Taslim and last year I catched tell me what you saw. I wanna touch little bit on tell me what you saw it had potential imho and was good series. Jin Seo-Yeon is underrated actress. There was potential to explore more the love-line between JH's character and Jin Seo-Yeon character and yes there was some love-interest between them as she was into him and had a crush on him but as I guy myself I surprisingly found myself being increasingly attracted to Jin Seo-Yeon I thought she looked fiercer and mighty fine. I probably would! I was envying why JH's character really didn't puruse her and smash that
