Synopsis:
Do Min Joon has been trapped on Earth for 400 years and living in hiding.
One day, Korea’s hottest actress, Chun Song Yi, moves in next door. She imposes on him, wrecks his life and gives his orderly home a woman’s worse touch.
Yet she embodies his past’s regrets and worse of all his days are counted.
Critique:
I had preconceptions about the show but I was wrong.
Jun Ji Hyun “Gianna Jun” virtually plays herself, Korea’s super actress and model (comparable to Angelina Jolie but better at acting). She’s not leaving anything out except being evil. That would have been out of the lead character’s role but not unthinkable. You got to see it to know what I mean. In this show she also like a chameleon. Currently, I only attribute 3 Korean actors/actresses in this class. Similarly to Nicole Kidman in one single scene in “The Stepford Wives” (2004 film) only a lot more and better. Even though Gianna only did one stunt (the fake ones don’t count) that wasn’t so special it kind of stuck. Same could be said about her out of the blue uncut pseudo Kata showing her abilities. Or her other numerous acts. You better watch to the last second and all specials. You won’t see much of her skin, though (She’s already married. yet, there’s a scandalous number of kissing scenes).
There are lots of other famed actors and guest stars who sometimes try to disguise themselves.
The location of the lead character’s apartments and their adjacent balconies is reversed throughout the whole show. I’m pretty sure they used one apartment for the shootings. Despite of all the other stunts and action scenes the unimportant balcony stunts were imho the most scariest of all (considering it’s winter and windy all the time). There are many other scenes that were obviously shot on the same location and days but used in many different episodes. Talk about efficiency of coordination and planning the show in advance. In this regard the connected flashbacks are seeded a bit too far in between. Not that this was bad it’s just bothersome to look back.
There’s no more than 2 or 3 songs and some karaoke but somehow there are 9 OST for the show!?
Depending on your respective, I think it’s not really a happy ending …the ending’a situation is, in another certain famous story, the beginning of the story’s nightmare.
Verdict: 9
Cast: 8
Cast performance: 9
Script/Directing: 10
