To both of you - Fighting! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willenette Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 *** Baeksang Arts Awards are one of the major awards in South Korea for the entertainment industry.

willenette Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 8 K-Drama Remakes Of Your Favorite International TV Series You have probably watched the OG series! Korean dramas are arguably one of the most popular genres for television shows. But did you know that some of your favorite titles are actually spin-offs of foreign series? Yup, you read that right! We rounded up eight popular K-dramas that are remakes from international titles: 2. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016) Who’s in it: IU, Lee Joon Gi, Kang Ha Neul, Nam Joo Hyuk, Ji Soo, Kang Han Na, EXO's Baekhyun Where you can watch it: Viu We still miss you, Prince Wang So! This 2016 hit drama is based on the Chinese novel Bu Bu Jing Xin which translates to Starling By Each Step. Before Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo was released, China released their own version of the drama titled Scarlet Heart in 2011. 5. Criminal Minds (2017) Who’s in it: Lee Joon Gi, Son Hyun Joo, Moon Chae Won, Yoo Sun Where you can watch it: Viu Everyone, including their eommas (moms), has most likely seen an episode of the American TV show, Criminal Minds. But did you know that South Korea has its own version that aired in 2017? Unlike its American counterpart, South Korea’s Criminal Minds only lasted for one season, whereas the original had a whopping 15!

Since this was in celebration of his birthday, IU made a surprise phone call and they talked about their friendship and “Scarlet Heart: Goryeo,” the drama through which they were first introduced to each other. “ Lee Joon Gi brought up a question he often received from fans, which was whether there would be a season two of the drama. He commented that it was realistically difficult to make it happen, but he asked IU if she would be interested in appearing in the drama if a second season were to be produced. IU answered, “Isn’t that amazing? If the conditions are right for us to all gather together, there is no reason not to do it." Ohhh.................I missed the drama. It's been over four years??? Am I right? Well, I don't need season 2, but, I am curious for those deleted scenes, though. I remembered so many signed up for a petition way back then just to have "Scarlet Heart season 2!" Since this is a remake of a Chinese drama, the Chinese drama has a season 2. Belated Happy Birthday Oppa! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuiwgn Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 @willenette, loved JG in Scarlet Heart, but no season 2 , thank you. I dont think they can come up with a good enough story ( The Chinese version Season 2 was a disaster). However, do agree with you on the deleted scene - I want to see them. And JG was wonderful as always at the Talk, his hand written message was very touching... The sad part for me was that he did sort of mention he cut his hair because the historical drama was not happening... Anyway, just have to wait and see what he will do next. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they could get enough of the original cast together, I don't see how they could come up with a compelling story in modern times. The greatest appeal of Moon Lovers was the time travel and the exotic setting of Goryeo. I think people would have been satisfied without a season 2 if they had aired that last scene so we could imagine a happy ending in present day. Maybe they didn't air it because they didn't want to tease a season 2 that couldn't happen. On the other hand, maybe the tragedy of the ending we got is what makes the drama so memorable for so many people. Of course, I love LJG so much I could watch him read the phone book (or listen to him without subtitles for 3 or 4 hours). But I wouldn't want to see him work so hard on a drama that didn't have a chance for success because of weakness of story. Criminal Minds, anyone? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the greatest appeal Of MOON LOvers is of course : Lee Joon Gi and historical drama Criminal Minds wasn't bad. I finished it and enjoyed JG's part, lots of action scenes and some memorable moments. ( I did not watch the original US series) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see him working on projects like Moon Lovers and Flower of Evil with stories good enough to bring him new fans. I want to see him in projects that offer him new challenges and showcase his ever-growing skills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willenette Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 11 Pairings We Wouldn’t Mind Seeing Reunite In A K-Drama Often times, you finish watching a drama and the chemistry between the two leads is just so enigmatic that you’re already hoping deep down that they’ll reunite for a future project. This may even involve you signing a petition or two, demanding for a second season or reunion. It’s happened in the past where two actors have had such talked about chemistry that they return many years later on the small screen, but it is pretty rare. 5. IU and Lee Joon Gi Sigh. This is one couple the world has never gotten over. No one could have prepared fans for the heartbreak and loss they would feel after watching the final episode of “Scarlet Heart Goryeo.” The love story between Wang So and Hae Soo was so real and strong that people are still demanding a second season be made. Although there is no sign of a second season in sight, a reunion of the two even in different characters on the small-screen would suffice (although that cameo appearance of Lee Joon Gi in “Hotel Del Luna” was pretty adorable)!

willenette Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 *** Here's how LJK looks like in military uniform. He's mesmerizing in green. He initially wanted to defer his military service as he had two upcoming projects. However, his application was rejected and he enlisted on 2010. He earned top scores in marksmanship during his basic training and was later assigned to the Ministry of National Defense's public relations department. He starred in the military musical Voyage of Life alongside fellow actor Ju Ji-hoon. After 21 months of active duty, he was discharged on Feb 16, 2012. https://www.instagram.com/p/B06q-CdJTm5/?utm_source=ig_embed 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
