#joo-won

Thanks for the ask ^=^

Ji-hoon: loves his family so much that he willingly joined the Brotherhood to spare them shame after he caused a huge accident as a teenager that would’ve landed him in prison.His family love him, but they also don’t mention him to anyone.

Yueliang: Loves and respects her parents—she’s an only child—and obeys them to the point. Her mother has a habit of trying to force her into relationships because she wants what’s best for Yueliang, but she also won’t push too much because she still wants her daughter to be happy. Yueliang’s father is a bit of an absent-minded professor type, but he loves her in his own way.

Ndiaye: Is a much loved child by both her parents. Her father is Japanese, so behaves quite formally with her sometimes, but then he also spoils her and they have their secrets no one else is allowed to know about. Her mother is Senegalese and much more open with expressing her feelings. She brings out the more affectionate side in both Ndiaye and her husband. They’re all very warm and loving and Ndiaye’s very self-confident thanks to them.

Anna: Loved her parents a lot, but then her father was killed and her mother remarried. The douchebag step-father abused her and when her mother eventually found out, the guy murdered her. It turned out he also killed Anna’s father—his friend—because he wanted Anna’s mother. She lived with an uncle, who disowned her when she came out. 

Joo-won: Is a Brotherhood orphan. His family died in a car accident and the Brotherhood picked him out as special due to his unique talents and sent him to live at Sakyamuni—the repurposed temple they use to train their operatives. He’s too young to really remember his parents or sister, but he thinks they were happy.

The title…is quite paradoxical — but in the context of this drama, kinda make sense. Main cast: Joo Won (from Gaksital) as Hwang Dae-myung / Skunk. Sloppy civil servant by day, Dae-myung’s alter ego comes out at night, to retrieve national treasures hoarded illegally by the rich and powerful. Lee Joo-woo as Choi Min-woo, the rookie of the Cultural Heritage Team in the police force, tasked to…

Alice: Same same but different?

Tbh, Alice has been placed on the back burner as I got entertained by the wacky dramas aired recently (here’s looking at you, Zombie Detective and School Nurse Files). I am currently around ep6/7, which is a little behind the current eps of 9/10. Thankfully, there’s the annual Chuseok drama pause, which means I can (hopefully) catch up.

As of where I am, the plot is starting to become…

Alice: Time Travel and its Fallacies

2020 is a season for time travelling themed dramas (though it isn’t the first time we have back to back series of time-space bending). However, Alicetakes on a slightly new angle. Instead of our hero-heroine travelling back and forth in time to “complete” their romantic liaison, with the focus being on the “romance” part, the time travelling idea here stands alone on its own, even though it plays…

Drama Review – My Sassy Girl (2017)

This is another drama that fell short of expectations, though not as bad as Ruler imo. I do look forward to it weekly while it was airing, and while it was engaging and funny it just…doesn’t excite me like, Rebel or Moonlight Drawn by Cloudsdid. I pretty much LOLed at the visual and toilet gags and found that they served their purpose in a fusion sageuk, as cheeky references to modern day humor.…
