    @MVM

    Thank you so much for posting this! :) I think they seem to mix up Western/modern instruments with traditional Korean instruments. I will try to pay a bit more attention in the future episodes. I'm just a big fan of traditional Korean music. It doesn't need to be old-fashioned but there needs to be a balance. But again to me the music so far as has been flowing in the back. There is a lot going on in the episodes. :D

    Thank you for clarifying :kiss_wink: I'm tagging @partyon too

    It's true that so much is going on in the episodes that I haven't even paid much attention to it, but I've just watched ep 3( will not spoil anything) and I cannot unhear all the background music after all the talk :lol: It's my 6th time watching this drama, but my first time noticing just how much of it is in the drama. Btw I still like it, but I get what you are saying, IT'S THERE!

    Also, I get that it's pretty normal to not overdo the traditional music and I think it can actually work. I watched another movie with Ha Ji Won back then called "Duelist" which had a pretty unconventional OST but the movie was also unconventional and pretty independent as well. It probably got the BEST final fight scene (with Ha Ji Won and Kang Dong Won) and with 2 full minutes of no music and then the OST starts and then there is a moment where the traditional music starts and it's MAGIC! I just love that!

    Wow I love that sound and the video that comes with it looks pretty cool. Thank you :D

    and @MVM

     

    I don't mind the music either. At least judging from episode 1. But I think it would be nice if they would use more traditional instruments? Maybe it's gonna happen but not sure. Maybe those who know the drama can tell me? :D

     

    Even though so far I didn't pay so much attention to the music. But the strings were THERE. :lol:

     

    To be honest I am not an expert in Korean traditional instruments, so I am not sure... I know much of it sounds like typical Epic music that is played in historical movies from all over the world.

     

    There are fusion of styles too, like this: 

     

    Pretty sure I hear waltz in this, but also some more traditional notes? As I said however I know next to nothing when it comes to traditional music stuff. Can anybody else shed some light?

  3. I love how quickly everything moves in this drama. Glad we weren't stuck in the childhood stage for 10000000000000 episodes :D

     

    Ji Chang Wook's character appears so weak and I like it, not one of your typical male leads. Actually it's interesting how different the 2 male leads are to each other, their personalities are almost the opposite. 

    Wang Yu - strong, brave, masculine, reliable.

    Ta Hwan - weak, cowardly, childish.

     

    Don't get me wrong I like both of them so far, but for different reasons. Wang Yu is already accomplished, he is the type of guy you'd want in the real life. While Ta Hwan is very interesting within the fiction world, because it looks like there is plenty of room for growth. One wonders will it or will it not happen? 

     

    Btw am I the only one who actually likes the background music? :Twerkdatbutt:

    That's what I thought. Because the drama wants us to see there is darkness in her and I actually think Hee Sung's "mom" might be right with her being two-faced. We still don't know much about her past after wall.

     

    Considering how fast paced this drama is, her punishing him herself would add tension and make a lot of sense . I can't believe she found out the truth so early, at this stage I am beginning to wonder what next and we aren't even halfway through.

    Her conversation with the wife last week was pretty clear. She is investigating him to discover the truth cause she believes that BHS is not evil monster people are making him out to be, cause she has seen him for the past 7 years. So I think she just wants to know the truth about him. 

     

     

     

    My memory can be a little off, but didn't she say something about different types of punishments one official and the other personal? I understand the official bit, but the personal one? Is she thinking of leaving him once she discovers the whole truth or perhaps I am reading too much into it.

    so empress ki is based/inspired from a real life historical queen. what are your expectations? do you expect some amount of accuracy? do you expect lots of drama writing liberties? how close do you think historical based dramas should be?

     

    Empress Ki sticks to the basic outlines, but isn't accurate, they have changed a lot. I normally prefer it this way as long as it's very clear that they are taking artistic liberties. 

    I do like dramas that are very historically accurate too, but need to be in the mood for all the darkness. Wouldn't want to live during those times. Wouldn't mind a short time travelling trip though :P

    It's complicated. I don't know the full process. As far as I know, if the actor received notice to enlist there is no negotiation because that's what happened to Yoon Do Joon (news on it). He was still filming and he had to go. However with the COVID-19, maybe there are changes plus we don't know whether there is any medical condition that could exempt JKY from enlistment.

     

     

    OMG they should have at least let YDJ finish the current project. Thank you for clarifying. 

     Well JKY himself said he'd be enlisting soon, so I don't think he has any medical conditions that would exempt him, at least not that he is aware of.

    As you have said there could be some info that they are aware of, but we might not know related to enlistment delays. I suppose the only thing we can do is wait...

    @MVM All still in talks for that webtoon. And it's supposedly end of the year with tvN... will he be available then? He can be summoned literally any day any time especially now that his birthday has passed.

     

    I'm going to be honest, I have zero clue how the whole enlistment thing works in Korea. However, surely the casting agents must be aware of the process. I am surprised they have made an offer if there is no way for him to postpone his army service :blink:

    Only because the actors his age have gone to the army and he said he should be next so feels like he's giving fan service more now. But yeah no news on that yet and no more casting news too.

     

    Very possible I suppose. With regards to that drama 간 떨어지는 동거 the role in which he's be offered. I've become quite a fan of that webtoon and I am checking the news on it everyday, but heard nothing. I mean not just about JKY, but also about Lee Hye Ri or any other potential casting. So I think the lack of news on that could be related to delays connected to that particular project rather than JKY. 

    Of course my Korean is pretty basic and most of the news I am reading are in English, so it could be that something has been said, but I don't know about it.

    I think misunderstood good guy is a generous title to be given after just watching the fourth episode.

    Hes still with her because of his only selfish reasons he has, like a true APD or a person with psychopathy.

    Him throwing away the doll and almost hurting and fighting Ji Won are also 

    signs of APD.

    i don’t think he’s lying when he said he will kill him if he reveals the truth to Ji won. I think he doesn’t mind hurting her a little if it meant keeping on an appearance.

    He has experience holding people hostage.

    Like with  nam Soong Gils wife, he can easily fake emotions and put on an appearance..

    maybe the cringey  lines is just him showing Ji won what she wants to see.

     

    I think he is better than what many of us originally imagined he'd be. I do agree he isn't a nice guy either, his desire to keep his family despite everything is selfish, but there is more to it than just him needing JW to keep his father away. That early days scene when he was standing like a fool in the rain just looking at her smiling, he seemed fascinated and transfixed, plenty of emotions on the face of a person that isn't supposed to feel any.

    During Jiwon's phone call with her mother in-law, HS's mother said that Jiwon trapped Hee Sung into marriage by getting pregnant but they have been married for 14 years and Eunha doesn't look that old in any way. So they had a kid before or what? 

     

    Perhaps they have been together for 14 years and married only a few years ago?

    I did watch it, thank you. It's hilarious :-)

    There's a lot of shows Ki Yong are in if you're really desperate for more. Varieties... Rap battle (?) etc. I didn't watch it all, couldn't sustain for too long without subs.

     

    I'm slowly moving through all the non drama stuff he is in.

    I guess with his birthday coming up we are going to be hearing more news, either about the enlistment or that gumiho drama.. So whatever may come we'll hopefully find out soon.

  13. @mademoisellesia I have only recently discovered this talented guy and while I've been binge watching all of the dramas where he plays the ML, I'd still would have loved to have an upcoming drama I could look forward to with him in it before he enlists.  I know there is a movie and now a photoshoot too, but they don't last as long as dramas do :tears: Guess I am being greedy here :P

    @MVM HI THERE, its me again. I briefly translated the preview. i edited my last post :) 

     

    yes, i can't wait for 29th too! They will be having an online press conference on the 22nd July. Anyone knows if this will be on NETFLIX?? 

     

    @whiteclover Hello Hello :heythere: Helpful as ever, thank you :-) 

    Sounds like there is going to be some kind of blackmailing/ threatening of BHS on purpose involved and he won't be too happy about it :lol:. Or is it just me? 

     

    I am really hoping this is on NETFLIX, it would make life so much easier, but haven't seen it advertised as one of their shows yet :-(

    [News] 2020.06.10 Jang Ki Yong In Talks To Join New Fantasy Drama Based On Popular Webtoon

     

    In response to the report, his agency YG Entertainment commented, “Jang Ki Yong received an offer to star in the drama ‘Frightening Cohabitation’ and is considering the offer.”

     

     

     

    It seems like it's taking a while for him to make that decision or they haven't released the news yet? Or perhaps he is going to enlist :tears: After reading the first few chapters of the webtoon I think it'd suit him well. Look wise it's an absolute match and the character seems like a cool character to play.

    In the trailer, Jiwon asks coldly: “How long did you think you could fool me?” Jiwon reflects on her happy memories with husband Heesung and daughter Eunha (Jeong Seoyeon), with her eyes and hands shaking. Her confusion literally shows itself as she confronts the shocking question: “What if the husband you’ve loved for 14 years is suspected of being a serial killer?”

     

    Well she could be talking to anybody, they are not showing who she is addressing.Will they start with suspicions  early on in the drama I wonder, surely they'd need to establish a "happy family" first. 

     

    Quote

     

    But as if answering the question, Heesung says quietly: “I will not stop until the very end. If I lose what I have ‘now,’ then my life would be hell anyway.” His monolog suggests a dangerous turn their relationship will take, ramping up the tension. Viewers have already started guessing what exactly he is trying to hide and what he really means by “hell anyway.”

     

     

     

    Edgy! What is he afraid of? Losing his family or is it his cover? Or both? Also "I will not stop until the very end" sounds dangerous and desperate, just how far will he go? 

     

    They definitely know how to keep us excited!
