South Korean Artist Jang Kwang Bum's 'Montagne V' - A Textural Exploration of Acrylic and Sanding on Canvas

[somanykdramas]

THE ROYAL GAMBLER

GENRES: Historical, Drama

SUMMARY: A young man, separated from his royal family at birth, reconnects with his brother and stands as the voice of the people.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Gambling, scheming gisaengs, deadbeat fathers, palace brainwashing, training montages, rebellion thwarting, opium incense, assassins, young love, gangsters, setting houses on fire, and good meals.

HOT TAKE: This show does not disappoint on the title. Any chance they can throw some gambling into a scene, they will do it. There's some great familiar faces and some even greater individual performances, despite the dragged-out plot.

Call It Love. 9

Story: 9

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Just Between Lovers (kdrama) ; When the Weather is Fine (kdrama)

Flat out has to be one of the most depressing but romantic melancholy healing kdramas. Male lead’s character is written in the most whump’ness way. Don’t get me wrong female lead’s character is just as whumpy, but oofing ML is dialed up to 💯 No matter the storyline flows excellently despite some questionable editing choices. Gosh knows how many slow motion scenes this drama, if you took a shot every time there was one you’d be drunk by the end of the episode. Despite that everyone did an outstanding job, both leads chemistry was oozing on screen, I mean honestly I’m a bit bias always with Kim Young Kwang dramas. For me there’s never a drama I disliked of his. He always manages to pull off excellent dramas (still standing on that D-Day is top fav) If you love melodramas, this should definitely be a must watch!

Call It Love

This is not the typical cross-lovers story. Shim Woo Joo - in her quest to avenge her family from her late father's mistress (and later wife) who took away their home - she meets Han Dong Jin (the woman's son). And in her attempt at revenge, she falls in love.

Even if the story sounds like the typical storyline, the execution is different. Here she has a male-best friend who is just a friend. There is no best friend-in love with her in silence troupe. They are truly best friends and he falls in love with her older sister. It explores what happens when a parent leaves home to be with someone else from different perspectives. Hae Sung (the eldest daughter) is always dating the wrong men but never gives up on being with someone. Yet, when she finds out that the man she is seeing is actually married, she feels horrible about herself because she has sworn never to do that. She knows how painful that is. Woo Joo took on the weight of the house, not going to school and working. She is the strong one, the one who takes charge, the one that suffers in silence while her older sister can play and her younger brother too. She is the one with the consuming anger, the one that knows the face of her father's lover, the one who confronted him and watched him leave with the other woman. And she is the one who seeks revenge when the woman throws them out of their home. Ji Goo was too little when it happened. He only remembers his father as a loving man. He never saw him with another woman, and he lives a pretty much carefree life. Their mother is also an elegant woman, who doesn't lower herself in front of the mistress or her unfaithful husband. I liked that too. I can understand their pain, I could relate to Woo Joo in many ways.

I could also see Dong Jin and how his mother's actions also affected his life. How he carried the shame of her unethical behavior, how he has to deal with the consequences of her actions. These are young people that are living with the hurt and pain, and I liked watching their healing process. I liked how the story unfolded, leaving cliché out of the equation. It felt real and its bittersweetness, mixed with the sweetness of hope, balancing the mood of the story.

I truly loved the story and recommend it.

CALL IT LOVE // KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

İmdb puanı : 8,6 Benim puanım: 8

Drama: Call It Love

Hangul: 사랑이라 말해요

Director: Lee Gwang-Young, Kim Ji-Yeon

Writer: Kim Ga-Eun

Date: 2023

Language: Korean

Country: South Korea

Cast: Kim Young-Kwang, Lee Sung-Kyung , Sung Joon, Kim Ye-Won, Jang Sung-Bum, Jun Suk-Ho

Hem izleyici olarak benim için hem de Lee Sung-Kyung için garip ve farklı bir deneyimdi. Dizi baştan sona ağır bir melodram olarak sürdü gitti. Acıları anlattı, acılardan beslendi, ölecek öldürecek gibi yaptı ama sürünsek de herkes yaşadı. Öyle tanıdık ama beklenmedik bir havası vardı ki, içine girdikten sonra çıkamıyorsunuz. Lee Sung-Kyung’un da bu anlamda ilk ciddi rolüydü. Daha komedisi ağır yapımlarda oynadığı için bu kadar ciddi bir rolde, bu kadar mutsuz bir karakter olarak izlemek bizim için ilginç onun için yeniydi.

Sim Woo-Joo(Lee Sung-Kyung), Sim Hye-Sung(Kim Ye-Won) ve Sim Ji-Gu (Jang Sung-Bum) üç kardeştir. Babaları Sim Chul-Min(Ahn Nae-Sang) çocuklar küçükken evi terk edip metresi Ma Hee-Ja(Nam Gi-Ae) ile kaçıyor. Anneleri Kim Hyun-Joo(Kim Hee-Jung) ise ağır bir bunalım ile çocuklarını tek başına büyütüyor. Çocuklar büyünce de küçük bir sahil kasabasına yerleşiyor. Ailelerinden kalan evde birbirlerine destek olmaya çalışarak yaşayan bu üç kardeş bir gün babalarının metresinin yaşadıkları evi satılığa koyduğunu öğreniyorlar. Meğer baba ölmüş, ev metrese kalmış.

Bu noktada baş rolümüz ortanca kardeş Sim Woo-Joo, bütün bunların acısını metresin oğlu Han Dong-Jin(Kim Young-Kwang)nden çıkartmaya karar veriyor. En ufakları şarkıcı olmaya çalıştığı için hiçbir katkısı yokken, en büyükleri olan kardeş ise bir bankada çalışan sürekli birilerine aşık çok da stabil olmayan bir karakter. Evden de atıldıkları için çok eski bir arkadaşları olan Yoon Jun (Sung Joon)’un yanına taşınıyorlar. Yoon Jun bir anda üç kardeşin abisi gibi oluyor.

Ve başrol erkeğimiz; metresin oğlu Han Dong-Jin(Kim Young-Kwang). Kendi işini ayakta tutmaya çalışan orta halli, son derece sessiz ve depresif bir karakterdi. Babası öldükten sonra annesinin beraber olduğu hatta evlenip boşandığı erkeklerden olabildiğince uzak olmak için uzun süredir annesi ile çok nadiren görüştüğü bir hayat yaşıyor. Genel bir mutsuzluk hali var. Hayattan zevk alabilecek hiçbir aktivitesi ve hevesi yok. Ara ara gösterdikleri, eski ilişkisi Kang Min-Young( Ahn Hee-Yeon) ile de işlerin oldukça olumsuz gittiğini anlayabiliyorsunuz.

Dizi bu iki depresif karakterin aslında birbirlerine ne kadar çok benzediklerini anladıkları süreci anlatıyor. Ama o kadar naif bir şekilde anlatıyor ki izlerken hem merak ediyor hem üzülüyorsunuz. “Kader ağlarını nasıl örüyor” başlığı altında bir hikaye izlerken, zorlama yapılan hiçbir şey yok. Sanki her şey olacağına varıyor. Başrollerde oynayan oyuncuların eskiye dayanan bir arkadaşlıkları olması nedeni ile normalde aralarında sürekli şakalaşıyorlarmış. Ancak ikisinin de karakteri bu kadar melankolik olduğu için sette birbirlerinden uzak durmayı tercih etmişler. Bu şekilde role daha iyi konsantre olacaklarını düşünmüşler. Ancak bu melankoli uzunca bir süre çekimlerden sonra bile ikisi içinde üstlerinden hiç atamayacakları hissiyatını getirmiş. Bir röportaj sırasında bu durumdan kurtulamayacağız herhalde diye endişelendiklerini dile getirmişler.

Toparlarsak ben çok beğendim. Dizinin naifliğinden ve o istemsiz mazoşist havasından keyif aldım. İkili dışındaki bütün oyuncularda ayrı ayrı oyunculuk konusunda kendisini ispat etmiş son derece profesyonellerdi. En büyük kardeş olan Sim Hye-Sung’nun karakter gelişimi izlemeye değerdi. Kardeşlere kol kanat geren Yoon Jun ise ayakları sapasağlam yere basan dizinin bel kemiği gibiydi. Biraz acı çekmekten rahatsız olmayacaksanız dizi size de enfes gelecektir.

Top Dozen 2023 drama MLs so far

It's August, so not the end of the year, neither it is at halfway year mark, but why would I ever do anything like a normal person? Here my very very subjective list. I have limited myself to one dude per drama or LYF would be half the list. No order except alphabetical.

Chen Wende (Sun Yizhou in Gone With the Rain, China)

The epic troll lord stole the whole drama as competently as he stole the FL's heart. He was competent and adult and oh-so-amused by but also gone for the heroine.

Gu Jiusi (Bai Jing Ting in Chang Feng Du/Destined, China)

CFD lost steam for me halfway through but Jiusi's character remained a delight throughout and BJT gave a great performance as a golden boy who went through a bunch of hell and grew up but remained goodnatured at heart.

Han Dong Jin (Kim Young Kwang in Call It Love, Korea)

You know, he and Jing (from LYF1) really fit the same mold even if one is in a mellow realistic modern and another in xianxia - lovely traumatized people from monster families who win over heroine with a metric ton of baggage through sheer unswerving decency. I have a type.

Jang Uk (Lee Jae Wook in Alchemy of Souls s2, Korea)

I loved Uk in S1 and S2 continued that love - he's so intense, so grieving, so still in love with Naksu. LJW is always a good actor so it's such a pleasure to see him in a good role.

Kim Do Ha (Hwang Min Hyun, My Lovely Liar, Korea)

The year of surprises - Minhyun, who I found utterly wooden in AoS stole my heart here as this hopeful, traumatized sweetheart of a man.

Kim Moo Chan (Park Hae Jin, The Killing Vote, Korea)

Yeah, we are only one ep in but who said anything about this list was objective? PHJ brings his usual unsettling intensity to the role of a cop who breaks all the rules and teeters on the edge and now is set to catch a killer who really only differs from him in a matter of degree.

Lee Jang Hyun (Nam Goong Min in My Dearest, Korea)

If I had to pick a favorite ML from this list, it would be between him and Jing (LYF). This is basically if you took Rhett Butler and took out slavery and rape but gave him a sword. The character is complex and nuanced and NGM is giving his usual incredible performance.

Lee Rang (Kim Bum in Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938, Korea)

I was not a Rang fangirl for most of the original (even if he was well-acted; and he did win me over by the end) but I fell for him head over heels in this sequel/prequel/spin-off. I am so happy the man who believed he had nobody and was abandoned by everybody ends the story with his beloved brother and his beloved woman, both.

Moon Seo Ha (Ahn Bo Hyun in See You in My 19th Life, Korea)

A lot of MLs on this list have serious trauma and haunted by it and can't let go of their past love (I have a type) but even by those standards, Seo Ha was such a lovely, quiet person slowly healing.

Tantai Jin (Luo Yunxi in Till the End of the Moon, China)

Abuse victim/monster/praiseworthy king/xianxia saint/man on the brink - LYX portrayed a character in multiple timelines and many different complexities and did it amazingly. Tantai Jin may or may not win my favorite place on this list, but his performance was hands-down the most glorious thing this year.

Tushan Jing/Ye Shiqi (Deng Wei in Lost You Forever part 1, China)

If before LYF aired someone would have told me that a character played by Deng Wei, an actor I've always found eminently forgettable, would make it on this list and be in the running to win the whole thing actually, I'd have wondered what weird reality they came from. They somehow managed to make someone genuinely good and kind not in the least boring; I am ridiculously invested in the man who managed to keep his soul after all he's been through.

Yun Xiang (Chen Xiao in The Ingenuous One, China)

A schemer on a revenge quest, smarter than anyone else in the room but helpless in front of love. Yun Xiang was an adult in an adult story for adults and it was glorious.
