[Drama 2019] Extraordinary You / Suddenly One Day, 어쩌다 발견한 하루 - 2019 MBC Drama of the Year

[sal2 5,749]

I find it ironic that BK is proposing on a stage in front of their classmate. Consider stage is a symbolic word for when they are "acting" out Secret story. it is like we get the symbolic meaning of a stage couple that is faking it for the public but in private their relationship is very different.

Wow they have so much fun together~ the whole cast.

I usually don't like to comment on what's going on in other forums or blogs but I saw the specific post and I will only this time say something about it:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

I find the post very emotional to a point I can't take it serious. I definitely had to get used to Dan Oh's aegyo, especially in the beginning. But I also saw it as a way of coping with her really terrible setup. I find criticising someone's voice... actually weird. What is Kim Hye Yoon supposed to do? Plus I paid extra attention to it after reading the blot post and I don't know but I think her voice is fine.

 

Now with the acting, I think everyone is entitled to have their opinions. If someone isn't feeling the acting by any cast member in this drama nothing can be done about it. I think as long as criticism is constructive and not insulting (the barbie/ken comment is not something I call constructive) it's absolutely fine to discuss it, even here. 

 

If I take away my love for the drama overall and would look at the acting I can say it's decent and even good. Those are all young actors who didn't do many projects before this drama, so they all have time to learn and mature in their skills. But I definitely did watch dramas with actors who are passed their 30s and whose acting skills are non-existent and don't reach me emotionally at all.

 

Every actor in this drama makes me feel something, so if they can achieve it and I forget they're actors but only see the characters then I think they've accomplished a lot. 

 

 

I think she's failed to see that KHY has added an extra dimension to her character from anime.  I'm not an anime buff but I watched Sailor Moon and Pokemon etc with my daughter, and KHY's exaggerated voice and some of her body movements are straight out of those shows.  The fact we're feeling her emotionally anyway -it takes an amazing actress to do that in my opinion.  I liked watching Haru and Kyung crack up in the bts when she was doing it off script.  Also, I thought she was quite plain at the beginning, but I could see how every single boy would fall in love with her.  That's skill and charisma.

Your defense of KHY was just perfect.

I went through the other blog after hearing about it from the comments here... and found it wholly preposterous. The way they kept saying how HY was reaching for too much by getting the role of a female lead. They were like she should stick to supporting roles, and that she was not'pretty' enough to be the female lead.

The whole post made me feel highly incensed, and at first I wanted to reply to each of those derogatory comments, but then decided to give up.

So your post here makes me feel really relieved.

Hahaha... yes, heck even Nam Joo (the actor actually) was kinda smitten by her aegyo. It's also a cultural thing. When I lived in South Korea many girls back then, even my age (early 20s), would do aegyo with their boyfriends. We don't have to like it or agree with it but to make so it's a fault of Kim Hye Yoon is a bit ridiculous.

 

And I agree with you, it definitely adds to the character and the manhwa setting. In the end Dan Oh is exactly that. Plus the drama is making fun of all the tropes and clichés and the female character acting overly cute is part of it. 

 

@Sanju98

You're welcome. I understand the first reaction would be anger and the need to reply in the same way the comments are written like. But it's definitely the better option to take a breathe and just stay away from such blogs.

Will Haru be able to stand up and speak when they utter "Speak now or forever hold your peace!"

[tianaa 18,634]

When Haru made that star curtain for Dan Oh Aww my Heart Curtain stars is so beautiful and romantic

That ending with Haru’s tears is so emotional.

Let Beak kyung find happiness pleaseThe chemistry between the him and the female lead is so good. Meanwhile Haru's and the female lead  This is a stupid situation where the bad boy is finally the second lead... but we're all having the syndrome anyway

Lets not forget our Main leads JD and NJ i miss the glowing when they met NJ come to ur sense please and also JD accept the boy already he is suffering enough from the hand of the mother

Ep 11. The teacher in class talked about Alphonse Daudet’s short story The Stars
http://www.saigonline.com/truc_huy/stars_daudet.htm

 

It’s beautiful. Pathetic restraint. And it fits well with the HR and DO story… there’s the ever present water motif (does DO drown in the end? )... he a poor shepherd, she the mistress. He from up above (mountains), she from the plains below. She visits him, he explains the stars… there’s talk about stars marrying. He with noble thoughts only despite spending the night together. They share a moment alone looking at the stars. Shooting stars are spoken of as souls who enter Paradise… is that to be DO?

@Sanju98, I thought KHY was “extra” pretty when she showed up in front of Haru at his locker in the episode last night. I admit beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I think KHY is very pretty and she fits the lead in this show. I know she’s a little extra when she’s perky and excited but I see it as part of her character. I really enjoy her Danoh.

Agree, her looks really grew on me...

C3 is a hoot!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Is writer becoming self aware that her/his storyline is lame?

[nimon 112]

im happy they retained the curtain stars scene in the drama like in the manhwa, its such a pretty sight but the context of it in the drama was kinda sad

Also, Danoh is terminally ill and I like the way she’s not gloomy. Instead she chooses to have a bright attitude. There’s a saying that you might not feel happy but if you act happy then those feelings of happiness will come along. Danoh’s attitude toward her circumstances always remind me of that saying. Perhaps she read one of those books that @Jillia mentioned where the author talked about enjoying the things we take for granted in the busyness of our lives like watching the sunset, taking walks in the mountain, etc.

Found out the latest ost is by Stray Kids. The lyrics are very beautiful. Found the link of the song on YouTube but don't wanna post an unofficial link here.

@celebrianna

I agree. I actually like that Dan Oh is making the best out of her setup. A lot of people seem to be frustrated because in the beginning she was proactive to change her fate. But of course Ha Ru's disappearance after trying to change the stage so many times, put a damper on her enthusiasm. And she just came to the conclusion, she will live the best life until her setup will require for her to die. But thankfully Ha Ru is still there to tell her: no.  And Dan Oh hasn't lost her spunky character. And I adore how she is manhandling Ha Ru like it's nothing. Nobody gets to do that but Dan Oh.  

 

 

I don't know I try to find something likable about Kyung but everytime he gets a heartwarming scene he does something terrible. Or he is reading things wrong. He didn't even listen to Dan Oh properly. He asked her whether she is falling in love with anyone who can change her fate. Dan Oh answers that yes at first she was happy with Ha Ru because he could change the stage BUT now it's more because Ha Ru is making every moment special and she can be Eun Dan Oh, she can be herself. Also... and I thought that was so important: Ha Ru is making her feel like she is the most important character/person in this world.

 

But what did Kyung take away from it? Yes, she fell for Ha Ru because he can change the stage. Like he doesn't even listen to what Dan Oh is telling him. She is probably the most fair female lead/extra in kdramaland being so straightforward and he doesn't listen to her. 

 

My reaction:

 

P.S.: The irony Kyung will propose on a literal stage... geez....

So do I

which is why I could not understand why those commentors kept disparaging her looks

She's simply adorable

[briseis 124,832]

I’ve always thought that it was only a matter of time before Haru gave Dan Oh the moon because he was never able to deny her anything to begin with. Obviously, I underestimated him and his ability to overcome even the most insurmountable obstacle and challenges with his strong will and unconditional love. SHE WISHED TO SEE THE STARS IN A WORLD WHERE NO STAR EXISTED SO HE WENT AND CREATED HUNDREDS OF THEM FOR HER. Haru who has always had so very little continues to give Dan Oh his everything. And it’s also such a Haru thing to do because instead of saying something is hopeless and impossible, he always manages to achieve a miracle.

[Jillia 193,585]

I'm honestly thinking even in "Trumpet Flower" it was Ha Ru's knowledge that lead to Kyung showing Dan Oh the stars. In no world, Kyung would be this interested enough in Dan Oh to know her wishes.
