East of Eden
So I started watching this and then stopped because school became too much and then I’m working on catching up but since I’m too far behind I’m not going to recap but I just had to spazz and rant. ^^;;
Ep 1-4?5? through the child actors anyways, these episodes were awesome. super cute kids. talented veteran actors. crying melo the works. I was blown away by Kim Bum’s performance and I think I am so on his bandwagon. THe kid has come a LONG way since High Kick. Can’t wait till he comes out in Hana Yori Dango and I hope he gets a huge role. So the first few episodes were pretty amazing but I think it had a better script in terms of plot & also awesome actors
Adult actors – SSH looks good. He’s one of those people who just looks better and better as he ages. I can’t really vouch for his acting yet though. To be perfectly honest, Kim Bum gave way more heart wrenching performances than he did but he’s still good eye candy.
And now comes the rant. Ugh I hate like half of the cast. Freaking Han Jihye annoys me with her presence. -0-;; Harsh I know but I already have heard bad rumors of her as a celeb and then I heard some rumors about her and SSH not being on good terms since Summer Scent (mostly her fault) And I just don’t like how she acts. It was barely tolerable when she was doing cutesy roles but now it’s not cutting it x.x
Then OMG Dennis Oh. Someone PLEASE hire him an acting coach. Like his parts were painful to watch. Honestly I didn’t mind him in Ma Nyuh Yoo Hee (which ironically involved him acting with YJH’s wife Han Ga In) but how is it possible to get worse?? It even affected his English. Like he stresses the wrong words so the whole scene just gets ruined -0- ugh Then he tends to overact which just makes it more obvious that he’s only there as eyecandy which should involve less acting, less speaking, and more nothing -0= I can only hope that he gets better but I highly doubt he can get worse
So the only thing worse than Dennis Oh’s acting is Lee Yeon Hee’s english. Seriously cringeworthy. Please Korean entertainment biz…stop making your actors speak useless English lines that they cannot pronounce T_T It ruins the drama, ruins the people, and ruins it for the viewers. I realize that for Korean people who don’t understand it, it may have a certain wow-factor and all that jazz about global stars but native English speaker laugh. or cry -0-;; And her character annoys me …like majorly. I have a hard time SSH could fall for someone like that. But I guess I’ll find out if it’s just her character…or just her -0- I can’t believe she is the freaking love interest for SSH (mad jealous lol)
