Just dropping in to thank everyone who contributed to this forum :D  I have just finished watching 'Different Dreams' and found many of your comments helpful and insightful in filling in some of the things I had missed while watching.  After watching the first episode I thought this drama wasn't going to be for me but I like to give a drama a '2 episode chance' and I am so glad I did.  I loved everything about it, the storyline, the characters, the cinematography, the build in intensity.  Someone mentioned that the writer had even given the support characters their own stories and this made it all the more interesting.  I loved that at the end we learned more about Hiroshi's driver/aide Maru and how Hiroshi had been like a Father to him and that I felt a connection between him and Young Jin in that they both were grieving for this man who had been a father figure in their lives and yet in reality he was a person who would do anything to gain power. 

I'm not a person who cries easily while watching a drama but I was surprised at how emotional I felt when Won Bong and Young Jin were at the river in the beginning of Episode 20.  The intensity of Won Bong's emotions as he thought of his dead comrades and that he is now the last one left -  almost trying to justify, rationalise that he was still alive - I could feel his anguish as he yelled out, swearing at them with his whole being :bawling: 

Also beside the characters and their stories is the whole story of Japan's occupation of Korea.  There is some interesting reading on the net about Korean liberation fighters, the Provisional Govt of Korea, etc.  It's made me think again about the country I was born in and how it was 'colonised' in the late 1700s by Britain and how now a lot of the 1st nation people have been disenfranchised :(  Yes this drama is going to stay with me for a while.....

@titania1000 I don't think all of them are and I'm not sure how they are selected to be on stage :) They are reciting the declaration of independence I think, based on google translate. Lee Je Hoon is probably there because of his part in the movie Park Yeol, who is also an independent fighter.

 

I'm not sure if anyone has shared this previously from Park Hana's instagram :)

@titania1000 Age of Shadows is about independent fighter too, with KWB (using a different name in the movie) appearing as cameo in there, played by Lee Byung Hun.

 

One thing I noticed in DD is that the scriptwriter gave KWB a few English words in his lines hahaha I have one complaint about the direction though, the camera shakes too much..

@titania1000Thanks for sharing the MV. It's great work!

 

The only scene I remembered with English word is in the episode where he is discussing the escape route for Kim Gu, using the one single English word 'escort' :)

 

I don't think he is able to speak English fluently. My guess is he may be able to speak very basic English.  Here's the speech for Deauville Asian Film Festival. You may judge for yourself :)

 

 

 

He had loads of English lines in the tenor :)

@titania1000 Yes, the music that was used suit the MV very well.

 

You are so right about that. He does have the intention to go international :)One thing for sure, his build is comparable to the westerners :P 

 

It's a pity that DD doesn't even garnered enough attention to have forum on dcinside. The kfans are good at making fanmade images, MVs and posters.
