peonie Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 July 30, 2018. Writer Kim Eun Sook finally completed the final episode of 'Mr. Sunshine'. Will it be a tragedy or a comedy? (A translation) To tell the truth ... there is no way to guess the correct answer. To talk about it now is way too early. XDDD. Although tvN’s “Mr. Sunshine” is not a pre-produced drama, however, because of the large capital investment to create a huge background story, preparation was done and shooting started as early as the end of last year. Kim Eun Sook finally completed the script of the last episode ( Episode 24 ). Whether the ending will be happy or sad, the audience are invited to confirm this themselves by watching the broadcast. The cast and crew will no doubt worked very hard until the end. *Extended reading: The reason for Kim Eun Sook’s absence from “Mr. Sunshine’s" press conference was actually... The script was not yet completed. After “Descendants of the Sun” and ”Goblin’s” this is the third time that writer Kim Eun Sook and Director Lee Eung Bok collaborated. The drama depicted the period of five years before the Japanese colonial rule in Korea and Shinmiyangyo when a young boy who went to the United States on board a US warship and returned to his motherland which abandoned him as a US soldier. He met by chance a noblemen’s daughter and the two fell in love. In episode 7, the three male protagonists (Lee Byung Hun , Yoo Yeon Seok and Byun Yo Han) confronted each other in a tense atmosphere and discussed the topic of Miss Go Ae Shin (Kim Tae Ri ) Source: https://www.koreastardaily.com/sc/news/107879 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubie Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 July 30, 2018 Assault on 'Mr. Sunshine' By Andrew Salmon The Korea Times Some locals, according to recent articles in this newspaper, are dissatisfied with the high-profile tvN drama "Mr. Sunshine." The series, starring Lee Byung-hun, arguably Korea's most famous thespian, is fictitious. However, it is set in a real historical period: The twilight of the "Hermit Kingdom," during which a reluctant Joseon was leveraged into the wider world and eventually devoured by Imperial Japan. The criticisms are multiple. Some are unhappy with the depiction of Joseon as a politically weak and technologically backward kingdom, reliant upon foreigners to introduce modern innovations (as, indeed, was the case). Others complain that a pro-Japanese character is given credible reason for his actions (as if all Koreans who eased Japan's takeover were simply evil and/or lacking rational motivations). Most remarkably, 20,000 people are petitioning the Blue House to introduce historical censorship. "Mr. Sunshine" does not claim to be historically accurate (if it were, the lead character could not exist). It is entertainment. And the critiques are ridiculous from a historical standpoint. So what is going on? I sense a double standard. Many dramas and films set during the 1910-45 colonial period are out-and-out fiction, but because they take a nationalistic stance, they are tolerated ― or lauded. Last year's hit thriller "The Battleship Island," depicted a heroic revolt among Korean laborers and miners at a Japanese island. No revolt actually took place at the island (which is a real place). Elderly Japanese who had been there were bewildered by the film, telling journalists that relations with Koreans at the location had been amicable. No Korean critics demanded this ahistorical film be censored. And fair enough. The filmmakers never claimed their film was historically accurate (whether viewers got that message is another issue, but entertainers are not required to be educators). I suggest critics of "Mr Sunshine" are not demanding historical accuracy. What they are demanding is one-sided, nationalistic portrayals of historical events. Even if "historical accuracy" were to be enforced over dramas ― who would do it? What would the standard be? History ― in a democracy, at least ― is not a "right/wrong" science: it is open to analysis. Given that Korea was, in the recent past, ruled by authoritarian leaders who controlled information flows, I am dismayed by these calls for censorship. Censorship over art is, speaking generally, a loss to art. If costume dramas were required to be historically accurate, we would lose some of the great films of all time: "Gladiator," "Braveheart," "The Sound of Music," "Gone with the Wind," etc. And let us not suggest that Korean auteurs cannot make very intelligent historical dramas. They can. "The Fortress," a thoughtful film about the Manchu invasion of Korea, appeared in the same year as the melodramatic "Battleship Island," and I cannot speak of its historical accuracy ― it was based on a novel ― but the film sensitively addresses the human condition. "The Fortress" contrasts the privileges of the rulers with the degradations of the ruled, and its central theme is universal: Is it the duty of a leader to resist an enemy ― or to spare his people by bowing to that enemy? Both sides of the debate, and related repercussions, are treated sympathetically and powerfully. It is a nuanced film, not a simplistic one. But the Manchu invasions took place in the 17th century; Japanese colonialism ended in 1945. Could such an even-handed and intelligent filmic treatment of the Japanese colonial period be produced in Korea today? Or must all Korean art dealing with the Japanese colonial period be restricted to simplistic, flag-waving victimhood?

skinnyjeans Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi all! Honestly, I didn't know Lee Byun Hun until Mr. Sunshine. And because of many rumors before, I just have more curiousity of him. Watched his 2 movies today: Inside men and A Single Rider. Two way different characters! And I was really impressed by his acting skill! No wonder he could play in some Hollywood movies. He played many different kind of roles. And this Mr. Sunshine, gosh... He's really charming! He seems not acting, like naturally. Well, I'm his new fans!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubie Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hello @skinnyjeans, welcome to Lee Byung Hun thread. Saw your name at MR.SUNSHINE thread and now you're here. We're very happy to make your acquaintance and @Susie Derkins, too! You've seen INSIDE MEN and A SINGLE RIDER back to back? Awesome! Totally agree that those two are completely different from each other. Just before MR.SUNSHINE, he had a comedic role in family movie, KEYS TO THE HEART.. hard to imagine that's Eugene Choi. If you like to find out more about Lee Byung Hun, please check out EverythingLBH.com, it's our spin-off website for fans that's much easier to search and read too, compared to the 1700+ pages here. But it's up to you. We can't be happier meeting more fans of LBH! Found this EuShin LEGO Photos: scully75752 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie Derkins Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 @rubie Thank you for the warm welcome dear. I have been a silent lurker here. I will be honest that LBH was not the first reason I started watching Mr Sunshine but now he is the one I am rooting for the most. I just can't get enough of his acting skills and how HOT he looks. I have watched almost all his movies and love it. Masquerade, Master, inside men and Joint Security area being my favorites. I have been looking to watch his once in summer and keys to heart but I guess they are not available online. If you have a link, I would appreciate it very much. And Thank you once again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peonie Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 @skinnyjeans @Susie Derkins Welcome to the LBH thread. It is great to meet fans who appreciate Lee Byung Hun's acting. If you have time and patience, I would like to recommend 2 dramas: "Beautiful Days" and "All In". For Beautiful Days, the first few episodes were not great but thereafter, the episodes are wonderful. I know many fans of Lee Byung Hun got ADDICTED to him because of this drama! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
