#jtbc reflection of you

[livingformintyoongi1]

Style: Prologue

Resume: After failing several auditions, you decide to give up and give your all in your part-time job and your studies. You didn't count on your best friend coming up with a slightly tempting proposal that would make you rethink your plans.

Words: 437 [Is short, I know, but is just the introduction lol]

"Come on, Y/N, put that cloth aside and pay attention to me, I'm telling you this is important."

You took a breath and tried to concentrate on that horrible chocolate stain that was preventing you from finishing the cleaning of table 8. "Jiwon, I really appreciate you caring about me, I really do, but it's time for me to get on with my life" you sighed as you saw your blurred reflection on the shiny table. At last that stain had come out. "I think it would be best if I finish paying for my studies and complete my degree; I can't live on part-time jobs forever."

You went behind the counter and started to sort some things out. Your shift was about to end, and you couldn't wait to throw yourself on your bed and sleep until tomorrow.

"I know, I know you can't stay like this forever, but this was your dream as a child. You're an excellent actress, the world needs to see your talent, and this is the best chance you'll ever get," Jiwon's bright eyes shone brightly as she saw the interest growing in you. You had already put the glasses aside and your gaze was fixed on her. "JTBC company is planning to make a romantic comedy dorama, the director, Kim HyunJung, published and demanded that the main characters should be little known actors or actors who want to get into acting promptly with the excuse that she wants to capture new essences."

"I don't know" you mumbled with your head down. You were tired of going to auditions, of always being looked down upon or looked at as a pretty body. No one in all these years had even given you the role of a supporting character, and that was starting to make you wonder if the problem was really you, "I don't think she's looking for someone my age."

"Today 27 is equivalent to 18! You are a beautiful, charismatic, talented woman with a lot to give, you should give yourself a chance" You both looked at each other in silence, Jiwon's gaze trying to meet yours and convince you to give in.

You tried to imagine what would happen if you were cast in the role. The cameras, the flashbulbs, the reporters, your fans, the job offers, the gratifying feeling that you finally got to fulfill your dream....

"Okay, I'll do it" you stopped Jiwon's celebration immediately. Your relentless face sent a slight shiver down her back, "but this will be the last one I'll do, and if I don't stay, then I'll retire for good."

Masterlist.

Which is my favorite Kdrama network?

When I'm bored I like to list and categorize things. Today I've decided to discover, statistically, which Korean drama network is my favorite based on shows I've watched.

Including both shows I've completed and shows I've dropped bc in this case, the shows I don't like are relevant.

Using my ratings from MyDramaList :) which means however I felt the first time I finished watching a show, basically. Not including networks where I've only watched one show (e.g., Disney+, Wavve, Channel A).

JTBC:

Agency--Dropped

Beyond Evil--6

Itaewon Class--Dropped

My Country the New Age--10

Private Lives--Dropped

Reflection of You--Dropped

Sisyphus: The Myth--Dropped

I can't believe this network produced My Country the New Age when everything else I've watched by them has been a flop for me. Beyond Evil came the closest to breaking the curse but even then. Itaewon Class is one of my least favorite shows I've ever tried to watch; I've forgotten most of the details now but a bad taste lingers.

KBS:

White Christmas--10

Mad Dog--8

The King's Affection--10

River Where the Moon Rises--Dropped

Should I have given River Where the Moon Rises more of a chance? Bc apparently this network only makes bangers.

MBC:

Extraordinary You--7

Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung--9

The Veil--7

Idk what to say about this one. RHGH is pretty damn good but I think I would probs like it less watching it now than I did in 2019, newish to kdramas and ready to love anything. But it's a fave regardless, and Extraordinary You and The Veil are both fairly watchable. A serviceable network.

MBN:

Perfect Marriage Revenge--Dropped

Sponsor--Dropped

A network to watch a few episodes with the desire to see dogblood plots, and then leave.

Netflix:

Bloodhounds--8

My Holo Love--Dropped

Gyeongseong Creature--Dropped

Song of Bandits--8

The Silent Sea--7

It's Netflix. I don't know that they're ever going to make a real favorite for me but they're fairly competent.

OCN:

Save Me--8

Duel--Dropped

A Superior Day--Dropped

Apparently it takes Seo Ye-ji and Woo Do-hwan's powers combined to make me finish a show by this network. You'd think it would be easier bc they seem to enjoy angst and whump, but I think they pour it on a little too thick.

SBS:

Doctor Stranger--Dropped

Lovers of the Red Sky--8

Revenant--9

The King: Eternal Monarch--7

The Killing Vote--Dropped

Remember: War of the Son--Dropped

Honestly I might come back to at least one of these dropped shows. Their track record on plots is okay, but their actors are really good.

TVN:

100 Days My Prince--Dropped

Alchemy of Souls--9

Bad and Crazy--Dropped

Circle: Two Worlds Connected--9

Confession--6

Devil Judge--9

Eve--8

Flower of Evil--10

Hotel del Luna--Dropped

It's Okay to Not Be Okay--8

Mine--8

Mr. Sunshine--8

Our Blooming Youth--Dropped

Pandora: Beneath the Paradise--Dropped

Psychopath Diary--9

Tale of the Nine-Tailed--Dropped

Clearly I just start the most show by them. Do they make the most shows? I don't know. Good concepts and good cinematic quality on most of these shows, with just a few exceptions. Pretty solid network.

Viki:

Color Rush--8

I Picked Up a Star On the Road--6

Where Your Eyes Linger--8

You Make Me Dance--6

Mixed bag.

The takeaways:

I should probably watch more KBS. On my to-watch list, that translates to Youth of May, the Bridal Mask, Hwarang, the Bloody Heart, and Orange Marmalade. So mostly historical dramas, which is a pity bc apparently I also like their thrillers.

Really, though, my to-watch list at this point has a ton of SBS and MBC on it for some reason, at least with shows that have already come out. According to my stats so far, my odds are pretty mixed on liking them or not.

Somehow, one feels, I will actually end up watching more TVN instead... but that has yet to materialize. (except the one kdrama I'm currently watching is a TVN drama. so.)

Did I really learn anything? No. and on that note, good night.

The Atypical Family – A Touching Tale of Superpowers and Human Struggles

"The Atypical Family" (Korean: 히어로는 아닙니다만) is a 2024 South Korean television series that blends the fantastical allure of superpowers with the poignant realities of everyday life. Starring Jang Ki-yong, Chun Woo-hee, Go Doo-shim, and Claudia Kim, this JTBC drama aired from May 4 to June 9, 2024, capturing the hearts of viewers every Saturday and Sunday evening. Additionally, it is available for streaming on Netflix in selected regions, making it accessible to a global audience.

The series revolves around Bok Gwi-ju and his family, who once possessed unique superpowers. However, due to chronic diseases and the pressures of modern life, they find themselves losing these abilities. The narrative takes a turn when their lives intersect with Do Da-hae, a mysterious woman with a keen interest in their family.

Main Characters

Bok Gwi-ju (Jang Ki-yong): Gwi-ju can travel back in time to revisit happy memories. Unfortunately, after his wife's death, he loses this ability as he grapples with depression and can no longer find joy in his past.

Do Da-hae (Chun Woo-hee): A mysterious figure whose fascination with Gwi-ju and his family brings new dynamics into their lives.

Bok Man-heum (Go Doo-shim): Gwi-ju's mother, whose insomnia prevents her from using her "precognitive dreaming" superpower.

Bok Dong-hee (Claudia Kim): Gwi-ju's older sister, who once had the ability to fly but lost it due to struggles with obesity.

Supporting Characters

Bok In-a (Park So-yi): Gwi-ju's daughter, a thirteen-year-old girl isolated from her family and classmates.

Eom Soon-gu (Oh Man-seok): Gwi-ju's father and the only family member without any superpowers.

Baek Il-hong (Kim Geum-sun): Da-hae's mother.

Grace (Ryu Abel): Da-hae's younger sister.

Noh Hyung-tae (Choi Gwang-rok): Da-hae's uncle

At its core, "The Atypical Family" is a poignant exploration of loss, identity, and resilience. The superpowers in the series symbolize personal strengths and coping mechanisms that the characters gradually lose due to life’s adversities. Gwi-ju’s battle with depression and his quest to rediscover happiness is a narrative that resonates deeply with many viewers, reflecting real-world struggles with mental health.

The series also tackles issues such as body image, family dynamics, and the sense of isolation felt by those who are different. Each character’s journey is a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to adapt and find new sources of strength and joy.

"The Atypical Family" enjoyed impressive viewership ratings, averaging 3.778% nationwide and 4.418% in Seoul. It consistently topped viewership charts, underscoring its popularity and the emotional connection it forged with its audience. These ratings reflect the show’s ability to attract and retain a dedicated following despite being broadcast on a cable channel, which typically garners smaller audiences compared to public broadcasters.

The original soundtrack of "The Atypical Family" significantly enhances its emotional impact. With beautifully composed pieces by artists such as So Soo-bin, Lee So-ra, and Yi Sung-yol, the music resonates deeply with the series' themes. The OST includes:

Part 1: "Walking with You" by So Soo-bin

Part 2: "I See You" by Lee So-ra

Part 3: "Laputa" by Yi Sung-yol

Each track captures the essence of the characters' journeys and the show's emotional beats, making the viewing experience even more immersive.

"The Atypical Family" is a standout series that deftly blends the fantastical with the deeply personal. It offers a unique perspective on the superhero genre, focusing not on epic battles but on the intimate struggles of a family facing extraordinary challenges. The series' compelling performances, intricate character development, and heartfelt storytelling make it a must-watch.

For fans of Korean dramas and those new to the genre, "The Atypical Family" is an unforgettable journey into the complexities of human emotion and resilience. Be sure to catch it on JTBC or stream it on Netflix to experience this remarkable tale.

Honest Comment: At first I didn't know the other actors I only knew the male lead, at first I was confuse of the story like how it happens I will not spoil but it is Fantasy about super power but it is different. Its only 12 episode but it is worth the watch I like the plot the tense and how the story goes. I recommend this series It is worth it.

Choi Ji-hyeok(Park Seung-gil)

(google translate)

Rookie actor Choi Ji-hyuk recalled the moment he became “Seung-gil” in the JTBC drama “Hip” and said, “Is it a dream or reality?�� Movie 'Ordinary Day' This was because it was the first big role given to him, who had dreamed of becoming an actor mainly through independent films and small roles. He said that it was only after he went to the set and stood in front of the camera that he realized that it was not a dream but reality.

-How did you join the project?

▶I joined after auditioning. I wasn't expecting anything. While I was on my way to work part-time, I received a phone call saying they had sent me a script and asked me to read it. I thought it was a passing role, but when I read the script, it turned out to be a huge role. If you didn't believe it at first, did you think it was a casting scam? I also thought about it. (Laughs) Because it is a very big role for me. I really, really like (director Kim Seok-yoon’s) 'My Liberation Journal' I couldn't believe I was appearing in the director's work. Is it a dream or is it real? (Laughs) I think it was only when I got to the scene that I realized it.

-How did you prepare?

▶I tried to sympathize more with the characters by imagining their pain and past stories that were not revealed in detail. I created my own behind-the-scenes story to think more about what it would be like to be in a relationship with senior Lee Min-ki (played by Jang Yeol) and to immerse myself in it. I became more immersed in the story, thinking about what kind of person Jang-yeol was to me, and that the older brother who had been nagging me who had beenabandoned by his parents and lived in a convent, actually cared for me a lot and was with me through difficult times. Jang-yeol was like an indispensable family member to Seung-gil.

-When you got to the scene, did you feel like you had a big role to play?

▶ While preparing, I was contacted by the make-up team and the costume team, and only then did I start to realize it little by little. (The director) allowed me to express my emotions a little more. I understand what the intention was, but I was very nervous because it was my first time on a scene like that. I think I expressed my preparations regretfully. Still, the coaches and seniors around me guided me well.

-How was your experience on set?

▶I was able to work comfortably on the independent film set because I was more familiar with it. It was my first time watching a drama. I thought I wasn't nervous, but when I got home, I felt really nervous, and only then did I realize how nervous I was. The scale was large and it felt like a professional venue. It was difficult to watch the storyboard and think about the movement line. The first scene was the bathhouse scene with Jang Yeol, and I tried not to be nervous, but I was nervous. This is my first time meeting senior Lee Min-ki as well as the staff. It was early in the morning and I remember feeling nervous.

-Were there any difficulties when acting? What did you feel after seeing your performance?

▶I felt sorry for myself. While acting 'squeak' There was a moment when she thought she had done it, but after that it felt like it wasn't working out. She was very worried. Watching the broadcast, I loved it, but at the same time I was nervous and disappointed. While watching, I thought about what the director said. It was a time of self-reflection. (Laughs) I received a lot of contact from people around me, and I felt proud at the same time. Since I saw my shortcomings, I thought about how I should improve in the future.

-My current concern is...

▶I don't have an agency and have to do everything on my own. I wonder if I am doing it. I want to be active a little more. If you do that, you might be able to meet a good company.

-For Choi Ji-hyuk, acting is.

▶For me, it is a resting place. While filming 'Hip-Hope', I felt that I really liked acting. Even if I filmed 2 to 3 minutes a day, I went to the scene an hour or two early. Even waiting was so much fun. Of course, I still have a lot to learn in terms of acting, and I feel stressed at that time, but I am working on it thinking of it as a process that will help me improve further in the future. It's so nice to go to the field.

-What kind of acting do you want to try?

▶'My Mister' 'Liberation Journal' is the drama of my life. I received a lot of comfort while watching this drama. I want to play a character like Jian. I think I can receive comfort through acting, and I also want to convey comfort through acting.

-You mostly filmed with Lee Min-ki, what did you talk about? ▶I was nervous. He tried to free him. When we meet for the first time 'You and I are brothers from now on, we should become friends starting today' He said. (Laughs) It was so difficult for me that I didn’t know what to say. (Laughs) He took great care of me. Senior Han Ji-min always smiled brightly, asked me if I had eaten, and even gave me a hot pack. I thought that when I become a senior, I should take care of my juniors like this. I also remember senior Suho welcoming me with a really bright smile. I remembered that they invited me to a musical so I went to see it and said hello. What I felt while watching my seniors was the power to immerse myself in a moment. The look in his eyes changed drastically. I learned a lot about immersing myself in my role. It was a time when I felt that I wanted to become a good senior. -Director Kim Seok-yoon's directing. ▶ (Director Kim Seok-yoon) 'My Liberation Journal I really, really like him; I couldn't believe I was appearing in the director's work. Is it a dream or is it real? (Laughs) I think that’s why it was more difficult on set. The director made me feel really comfortable. The director said it was okay to express more. They told me to be free, but that didn't work out. I guess I can't hear him well because I'm nervous. I answer, but when I actually film it, it doesn't go well, and when I go home, I say, 'Oh, that's it.' There was a lot of time to think.

Actor Choi Ji-hyuk / News1 ⓒ News1 Reporter Kwon Hyun-jin

-How did you dream of becoming an actor? ▶I became curious about acting after watching the movie 'The Attorney'. When she was in her third year of middle school, she was contemplating going on to higher education and told her parents that she wanted to pursue acting, which prompted her to start acting. At first, my parents were worried because they thought I was saying that because I didn't want to study. My older sister, who went into arts and physical education first, helped me a lot. After that, I studied acting while going to an arts high school and have always dreamed of becoming an actor. -What was it like trying acting? ▶I was really young when I was a student. The theory seemed boring. Then I started filming a short film, and it was so much fun to be in front of the camera. I thought a lot about why I want to act and why I do it. I thought about my goal. At first, acting seemed cool. Then, when I became an adult and went through a really difficult time, I realized how much I loved acting. I wanted to convey to others the comfort I felt while acting. I hope someone sees my acting and finds comfort. -What is the reaction of the family? ▶They love it so much. They watch me working hard. When I was going through a difficult time personally, my family was really worried. At that time, I didn't have time to look around. They couldn't even care about me. Now that I think about it, I feel very sorry. - I think it was a time when I matured a lot. At the same time, my desperation for acting also seems to have grown. ▶I was always desperate, but my attitude toward acting changed as I spent my early 20s. When I saw my colleagues working hard, I felt envious and impatient. But now, I guess I'm looking at my acting career for a longer period of time. I realized that acting itself is very important in order to make a living as an actor. I feel a lot more at ease. -Do you have any goals as an actor? If you imagine me 10 years from now. ▶I want to become an actor who doesn't settle. There are seniors I respect in terms of acting, and I learn a lot from watching them constantly act and improve without becoming complacent. I want to develop further and become an actor who can play all roles. Rather than saying, “Choi Ji-hyuk is acting,” I want to act in a way that makes me look like the role I’m playing. 10 years later, he was recognized for his acting skills and said, “That actor is good at acting.” I want to hear your evaluation.

King The Land Apology

King The Land, is a drama from JTBC. The images were taken from: https://mydramalist.com/article/king-the-land-production-team-apologizes-for-cultural-misrepresentation For the sake of mental health etc I wouldn't read the comments since the majority of the people affected are not in the comments--such as Koreans or Arabs. As someone Korean (diaspora) I can state that Korean dramas have this issue and probably the last best foreign representation was in Itaewon Class. That one was more honest. So it is a chronic problem. (I can somewhat outline why, which isn't an excuse, but that's a separate post.

Hangeul: '킹더랜드’ 관련 제작사 입장

특정 국가나 문화를 희화화하거나 왜곡할 의도가 전혀 없었으나  타 문화권에 대한 입장을 고려하지 못하고 시청자 여러분께 불편함을 끼친 점 깊은 사과의 말씀을 드립니다. 타 문화에 대한 이해와 경험, 배려가 많이 부족했음을 통감하며 이번 일을 계기로  다양한 문화권의 시청자들이 함께 즐겁게 볼 수 있는 콘텐트를 만들 수 있도록 더욱 노력하겠습니다. 영상의 문제가 되는 부분은 신속히 최선의 수정을 진행할 계획이며  제작진은 앞으로 시청에 불편함이 없도록 더욱 세심한 주의를 기울여 제작하겠습니다. 저희 콘텐트를 사랑해주시는 많은 시청자 여러분께 다시 한번 사과드립니다.

English:

We would like to express our deep and sincere apology for causing unnecessary inconvenience to our viewers without full consideration of other valued cultures although we have no intention of caricaturing or distorting any particular country or culture in the process. It has been our sharp realization that there has been a lack of understanding, experience, and consideration for other cultures. We will do our best going forward to create content that can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of where they are from and what kind of culture they have. We will take a thorough look into the part of the video which was considered problematic, and do our best to make sure that right measures are taken. We earnestly promise to our viewers that more care will be taken down the road so that there will be no inconvenience in viewing our content.

Typed up versions found here: https://tv.jtbc.co.kr/board/pr10011590/pm10067363/detail/n1757

1. What are they sorry for? Half marks here. Bad cultural representation, but not clear about whom or what? What did you get wrong?

2. Who is he sorry to? 0, General audeicnes don't cut it. Be specific on whom you're sorry o.

3. Why was it wrong? 0 No idea why it was wrong.

4. How would he fix it and not do it again in the future? 0 No explanation of this.

5. Accept full responsibility? By half. Without explaining how you will do better in the future, and just promising to reflect on what was released, it really doesn't help for the future. (And yes, I'm accounting for cultural differences).

6. Make reparations? 0 God is not the people you hurt, and the Bible said to try to make amends to the people you hurt.

Deductions: No real deductions beyond this point.

Rewritten apology: The producers of King The Land would like apologize to our Arab viewers specifically and international viewers more generally on the wrong depictions of the Arab character in our recent episode. It has come to our attention that the majority of Arabs are Muslim and we have depicted the character in our show as "enjoying women" and "drinking" which are both against the faith. We have come to realize these depictions are misunderstandings of orientalism, and we should have done more research into the culture and faith of Arabs. Moving forward, we promise to do more research before depicting a different culture or religion than ours from all parts of the department. We will reflect on our mistakes and try our best to do better for all JTBC shows in the future. Apology Score: 5-ish? Maybe 7 if less strict. It's not the worst I've seen It's not a non-apology, but it really doesn't get to the heart of the matter either. Needs improvement. A C, in letter grade, if you will. Kinda passes, but you could do much, much better and probably be yelled at by your parent for getting a C.

Final review: Reflection of You (JTBC, 2021)
