Look, I'm not gonna say this was good, but it kept me engaged throughout. And it's all thanks to the two leads. They basically save the whole thing with their chemistry and their comedic chops. I was particularly impressed by Lomon, who went out of his comfort zone for this role and delivered in every single scene. The show worked better as comedy than anything else, since it was pretty funny at times. But yeah, whenever it tried to highlight serious issues, it ended up falling into the same old stereotypes. And some of the final twists made little to no sense. I don't regret watching Branding in Seongsu, though, cause the episodes were short and it never had time to get boring. But I do wish the writing and directing were as good as the acting, or less messy at the very least.
there's this south-korean actor with a stunning voice who played both the phantom of the opera and light yagami in the korean versions of phantom and the death note musical and. idk. i'm just going insane over this little detail, 17-year-old me would have been obsessed

Dann haben wir uns doch mal an Miss Saigon gewagt, das ich auch immer etwas misstrauisch beäugt habe, obwohl es für die eigentlich total begrüßenswerte Erfindung von Jonathan Pryce als Musicalstar verantwortlich war. In der Aufzeichnung der 25-Jahre-Jubiläumsaufführung, die nun auch schon wieder 9 Jahre her ist. Misstrauisch beäugt habe ich es, weil es von den Leuten ist, die auch Les misérables geschrieben habe, und weil ich Madama Butterfly auch immer misstrauisch beäuge. Es ist dann auch wieder ein ziemliches Spektakel mit gelegentlich etwas brachialer Musik (trotz Solosaxophon), aber man kann ihnen zumindest nicht vorwerfen, daß sie sich auf ihrem Erfolgsrezept ausgeruht hätten, und eigentlich ist es tatsächlich nicht so schrecklich, wie ich immer angenommen habe. Aber kommen Sie, ein Hubschrauber?
The one thing the Death Note musical and the Hamilton musical have in common is that I have a favourite song for each of them, and neither of them are Hurricane.
