Surely, many remember the sensational drama "W: Between Two Worlds" with the participation of an actor, which tells about the existence of a parallel world, which can be accessed through a comic book artist’s tablet. While watching this drama, I couldn’t help but think about what this story reminds me of? As it turned out, a similar plot was in one of the clips of the Norwegian group A-ha — Take On Me, which premiered back in 1986. For that time, the video was innovative, because the video used technology rotoscoping, that is, combining video and animation frames. In our age of high technology, it is much easier to bring such a plot to life than thirty years ago.
What are the similarities between some moments in the video and the drama? We present you a small selection:
First match: both characters are comic book heroes.
Second match: heroes are athletes. The character is an Olympic shooting champion. The hero of the video is a racing driver.
Third coincidence: The heroines from the drama and the video first enter the world of the comic when the main characters grab them with their hands and drag them along with them.
And this moment is similar, isn’t it?
Watch the band's video A-ha. Who knows, maybe the scriptwriter of the drama, someday in the past, watched a video of a Norwegian group and, inspired, many years later, wrote the script for a new drama.
Happy New Year everyone!!! Since I spend every New Year's Eve watching dramas, following the proverb: “who you celebrate the New Year with, you spend the New Year with.” So today I want to talk about the best dramas of 2016.
P.S. This is not a top drama and the dramas are not ranked from best to worst.
During a solar eclipse, Go Ha Jin, an ordinary girl from the 21st century, is transported to the Goryeo era into the body of a girl, Hae Soo. Numerous adventures and, of course, great love await her.
This drama is about true love, that if you truly love, then despite all the adversity you will preserve this love and accept the person for who he is. This story is filled to the brim with emotions, tension, pain and struggle (for power, love, oneself). The whole drama, in my opinion, is the answer to the question: “What is more important - the throne, ambitions or love and the people with whom you share this love?” By the end of the drama, viewers get the answer to this question. And it is this: ambitions move the world of people, but they do not make a person happy. The drama has many bright, memorable characters. The cast was perfectly chosen. I don’t regret a single minute that I spent watching it and I will watch this drama again with great pleasure.
The main character is high school graduate Eun Ha Won. She lost her mother as a child. The father married a second time, but neither the stepmother nor the stepsister fell in love with Ha Won. And yet Ha Won never gets discouraged or complains. She works a variety of part-time jobs to earn money for university. By chance, she meets a young guy who offers her to make money by posing as his girlfriend. She agrees, and this is what eventually leads her to meet a wealthy older man who offers her a job in the house of his unruly grandchildren. There she meets three cousins: Kang Hyun Min, Kang Seo Woo and Kang Ji Woong, as well as their secretary Lee Yoon Sung. This is where the story begins...
Are you tired after a hard day at work? Having a bad day? Tired of amnesia dramas? Do you just want to relax your body and soul? Then this is the place for you. A light, kind, childishly naive drama that will bring you a lot of positive emotions and impressions. Prepare some tea, cookies and feel free to start watching!
Amazing, touching, sweet and very exciting. This drama is like a breath of fresh air with a hint of nostalgia for Boys Over Flowers and the whole era of dramas about love between classes. Here you will find intrigue, cuteness, a struggle for a place in the sun, and family squabbles. The drama is definitely worth watching. I like that, unlike many dramas, here it is impossible to immediately understand who the main character will end up with. And how cool it is that all the heroes are simply handsome. 😀 The OSTs of the drama are simply amazing and take pride of place in my playlist. This story is full of positivity and warmth.
A fantastic story about a female surgeon Oh Young Ju and an entrepreneur-adventurer Kang Chul, the main character of a popular web comic written by Young Ju's father. Even though they live in modern-day Seoul, they are in different worlds. Events intertwine between reality and illusion. And at some point the fates of the heroes intersect.
To say that the plot is exciting is to say nothing. The movements of the main characters between the real world and the world of the manga is a rather unusual and rare plot, and unexpected turns in the script cause “explosions” in my brain. The main characters are very beautiful (besides, Lee Jong Suk plays there, which is good news :)), graphics, special effects are all at the highest level, and the comic is simply awesome, the plot of the drama is really interesting, the idea itself. You are constantly waiting for the main character to get into the comic book again, what should she do, how can she get out of there now. The drama is very unpredictable, it is impossible to predict the development of events. I was worried about the ending until the very end and couldn’t understand how the story would end. If you want an interesting, mesmerizing drama with an atypical plot and cool kisses, then this is the place for you. 🙂
The love story of UN peacekeeper Captain Yu Si-jin and doctor Kang Mo-yeon, who, by order of their superiors, found themselves in a hot spot in another state. But is it really that simple to have a relationship with a soldier who, even at the cost of his life, is obliged to defend his homeland and people?
I put off watching this drama for a long time, but now I understand that it was in vain. Definitely on my list of best dramas. Not all dramas have the best plot and acting, but this is the case. Of course, there are shortcomings, but they always exist. I don’t like topics about doctors, and here there is also a military one, probably because of this I didn’t want to watch it at first, I shouldn’t have doubted it - it’s very interesting!
What is life? What about debt? Would you be able to perform your duties so bravely, ready to sacrifice yourself and your life? Yes, this drama is specifically about the values of peaceful life, about what people have to do who protect your peace and peaceful life.
The actors are incomparable, the plot is extraordinary, here we can see a little of the everyday life of those people who give their lives for the country and people. Dr. Kang Mo Yeon and Delta Special Forces Captain Yoo Si Jin - I fell head over heels in love with you, with the acting, with the actors, with the relationships. The captain is now my ideal: sweet, charismatic, strong, cunning, cheerful with a great sense of humor. I loved seeing him in uniform.
In addition, the screenwriter of the drama “The Heirs” herself wrote the script, so anyone who hasn’t seen it yet should definitely watch it.
The story is about the bodyguard of the presidential candidate's wife, a former mercenary under the pseudonym K2, who loved his country and colleagues, but found himself betrayed by both, as well as the secret daughter of the presidential candidate, suffering from anthropophobia (panic disorder, fear of people, a form of social phobia) .
In this drama, every character lives in love for someone or something. Be it a person, money or power. People go to great lengths for the love of power. They try to remove any opponent or relative from their path at any cost. In this fight, all means are “good.” There are many interesting, diverse characters in the drama. Lots of beautiful romantic scenes. There is something to cry and laugh about. Exciting, spectacular fights in every episode keep you in suspense. Overall, the drama makes you think about life in general. Each character in the drama is constantly solving some kind of dilemma. Each new choice leads to new consequences.
Ji Chang Wook - I have been in love with this actor since the days of “Healer”. And he didn't disappoint me. He coped with his role with a bang. Although, to be honest, I was often distracted from the plot, staring at his pile of muscles and beautiful pug. And even if we take away his external characteristics, the actor played his role 100%. I give a standing ovation! So if you miss Heeler, then go ahead and sing. 🙂
The Murim Martial Arts School has opened its doors to students from all over the world: teachers and students come to it from Korea and other countries, and each of them has their own story... And the school will teach its students justice, firmness, sacrifice, and cultivate a fighting spirit through martial arts and prepares them for adult life.
If you want a little romance, seasoned with a bouquet of secrets and pulse-quickening fight scenes, then this is the place for you.
The drama captivated me completely. I absolutely do not regret the time spent on it. Wonderful, magnificent, amazing! The plot is interesting, atypical, intriguing. It really lures the viewer into watching the entire drama. As for the romantic component, I’ll just say a few words: “KISSES AND LEE HYUN WOO.” At the moment the main characters kissed, I fell, screamed and screamed :)
Special thanks for the great ending. The writers were able to make everyone happy. In my opinion, this drama has one of the best endings.
Bottom line: Watch. Watch and watch again.
Woo So Jin Woo hyperthymestic syndrome is the ability to remember and reproduce an extremely high amount of information about one’s own life. To prove his father’s innocence, he goes to study law and becomes a genius lawyer, but suddenly Jin Woo’s memories begin to disappear...
The drama “Remember the War of the Son” is my personal favorite, a drama that I will recommend to everyone, everywhere. This is definitely a great drama with deep meaning and ideas. This is a very serious drama about the war against injustice, the greed of powerful people and the corruption of people governing the law. This drama will appeal to those who love the theme of revenge, struggle and the search for truth in hopeless situations. I strongly advise such people to watch it, but for lovers of romance and those who are too vulnerable, it is better to refrain, I repeat, the drama is extremely difficult and tragic. The atmosphere is great, the music is incredible.
One of the main advantages of the drama is the cast and, accordingly, the acting, you believe until the end. Especially the acting of Nam Goong Min, who played the main negative character, Nam Goo Man, who is used to the fact that everything and everyone in this world can be bought - you just need to name the price correctly, brought up on the principle that the lives of ordinary people are worth nothing, that They themselves are to blame for their poverty, that money is stronger than the law, because the law is on the side of those who are stronger, and the one who has money and power is strong. The actor coped with the role divinely, every time I saw the face of his hero I just wanted to strangle him, I truly felt wild hatred for the hero. I think he should be given an Oscar for such an amazing performance. 😀
It has been said more than once about the talent and acting skills of Yoo Seung Ho, who played the role of the main character Seo Jin Woo in the series. He perfectly succeeded in the role of a boy genius on whom fate played a cruel joke. And how he cried over the body of his dead father, everything looked so natural that you just wanted to come up and calm him down, support him. I cried throughout the entire drama from the second episode until the very end. Until the end I hoped for a happy ending, an unexpected healing or something like that, but the happy ending never happened. That is life…
The story of two people who met in their youth, but then separated. They later meet again as an arrogant superstar and producer of celebrity documentaries. Will they be able to get their love back?
Be sure that “Crazy Lovers” will fill you from head to toe, getting under your skin. You will fall madly in love with this incredible story. The script is brilliantly written. Everything in moderation. To the extent of laughter, to the extent of mistakes, to the extent of suffering. This is exactly what can happen in reality. Once you start watching Crazy Lovers, you'll discover a great playlist. All the skeletons are incredibly beautiful.
I love her until my heart sinks, and I literally hate her until I shiver. Every second of this drama, from the first to the last, is built not of the purest romance, sincere love and crazy, all-consuming passion. Time after time, episode after episode, I was ready to give up everything and not torment myself with meaningless suffering and vain expectations, but no. There was something that always kept me from taking this step at the very last moment. And to be honest, even now I don’t understand what exactly.
If you asked me whether this drama is worth watching, I would say yes - definitely watch it and stock up on handkerchiefs so that tears don’t interfere with watching this masterpiece.
The main character has the supernatural ability not only to see ghosts, but also to drive them out. Therefore, I am happy to provide assistance to those who need the services of an exorcist. But one day he encounters the ghost of a schoolgirl and, while performing a ritual, accidentally kisses her. So much so that sparks fly...
Actually, the drama is a fairy tale. Quite a positive picture, a lot of humor, excellent music, fairly good acting. But what I especially liked was the high morality of the series, probably expressed in the words of the monk: “No matter how much evil you do, your karma will catch up with you sooner or later.”
A pleasant plot, there are no sharp turns, but for me personally it was interesting until the last episode. There is a bit of intrigue and some plot twists are surprising. For example, the connection between Hae Ji and Bong Pal. Not a single character pissed me off. They were all interesting and well developed, I even liked the negative character (I don’t even know if this is a plus or a minus). Good humor, the comedy duo was great.
If you need a mystery line or a love triangle, then it's all collected right here. However, I don't recommend watching it at night, especially the first half of the drama. Then the ghosts won't be so scary. Are you already interested? Then what are you waiting for? The drama is definitely worthy of your attention and is already waiting for you.
What can you say about this drama? Lee Min Ho plays here and I think this is quite enough. 😀

July 28, drama producers "W" shared fun behind-the-scenes videos to delight fans!
In the first, a kiss scene between the characters was shown Lee Jong Suk And Han Hyo-joo.
Between takes Jong Suk asks Hyo Joo so that she tilts him back during the kiss. To which the girl jokingly remarks that someone is making too loud smacking sounds. The guy, embarrassed, agrees: "I don't know, I don't know!" He says with a smile, unable to look at her.
Later, both watch the scene and Lee Jong Suk asks: “Am I leaning?”
He runs away and does an embarrassing dance, and Han Hyo-joo laughs and says: "You did it, you did it!"
But the director suddenly announces that the scene needs to be re-shot. “It must be instinct!”- speaks Jong Suk, smiling widely. He then runs away again, crouching on the floor in confusion as the actress tauntingly shouts: "Face Kang Cheol completely red! So it's true! "
SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 3:
In the second video, Young Joo faints while Kang Chul picks up the girl and carries her out of the store.
It would seem that in the drama the scene looks flawless, but behind the scenes everything turned out to be much more complicated. Lee Jong Suk tired of holding the actress and even at some point they crash into a mannequin, which immediately falls apart.
In between takes, the actress says to the film crew: “I feel so heavy because of high heels. I think they weigh about 25 kilograms."
The actress feels embarrassed because Jong Suk tried to pick it up again and again. He kneels next to her and rests. "After today, you should start eating meat,"— comments Hyo Joo. He laughs and she pats him on the shoulder, saying: "Hold on!"
Recently I came across an image of Sakura with a shinigami scythe. As it turned out, somewhere in the distant 24th volume this will really happen. Sakura will perform the duties of a Shinigami! What I was so eagerly waiting for! She has such a beautiful braid! It would seem that everything is cool and chic, but that was not the case, because it will not last long. It's a pity. Because this could be such a twist in the plot! Yes, and the relationship between Rinne and Sakura, you see, would move from a dead point. But no. Takashi Rumiko is in her repertoire as always. Chapters are published once a week in Japan. This would be great if you understand at least something in Japanese. Although the last chapters are quite difficult to find.
If you look at the work “Rinne. Between Two Worlds” as a whole, then each chapter is almost a separate story about an extraordinary phenomenon in a place where the main characters are nearby. As things progress, new interesting characters with their own individual personalities are added. BUT! This has its own huge "minus". If you read this manga, say, separately in parts, that is, in chapters or volumes, it will greatly lift your spirits, but if you try to master everything at once, everything may seem quite the same, as, for example, in Ranma, although there is a completely different story.
This work by Takashi Rumiko differs from her other works and, first of all, in that the cat cried out for romance here, no matter what the original idea was, and even if the basis is still based on the romantic line of the main characters. Because Rinne's madness over money is shown much more, and drowns out almost everything else. Is this the point of the plot? Unknown. Although the main character is not without pride and rarely accepts money from others, which makes me very happy.
What scares me a little is that Sakura, as the main character and narrator, from whose person this whole story began, is gradually fading into the background. There are fewer and fewer scenes with her. Yes, and she rarely participates in them. It doesn’t even always react, like ordinary ballast. This makes me very sad.
Break a whole bunch of English blogs. (Whether you like it or not, you will learn to better understand any other language, which will help you shed the truth on some questions. Even in Chinese, I gradually began to understand it out of despair.) I came across the fact that many people do not like Sakura as the main character. That it is because of her that Rinne cannot be distracted by other girls.
Sakura is really depressing, at times, with her unromanticism and coldness towards the main character. Throughout the entire 30 volumes of the manga, she has not shown much interest in Rinne. Yes, and Rinne too. Sometimes it’s unclear what’s going on with him. Does he truly love Sakura? Ali is used for money and food, which was often shown on the pages of history, etc. Although a couple of the main characters are shown as pure-hearted individuals. And this unites them. The only thing that doesn’t get me to the end is that in all the works of Takahashi Rumiko, the heroes always remained together at the end, one way or another this was clearly shown.
It's sad that this work has very few fans. I would like to discuss many questions with manga readers.
