They usually do not care to watch other dramas, but they will watch this and love it. Another thing that makes this drama so good is the fact that I’ve recommended this drama to other people who have never watched Asian dramas and they become hooked to only this drama. I thought she could have been much better at being Jan Di, but I enjoyed the drama nonetheless. The only weak player in this drama was Koo Hye Sun as Geum Jan Di.
Aw…JI HOO!!!! The other two F4 actors were also good and perfectly played their roles. I don’t think KHJ is a very good actor, but in this role, his very rigid and largely emotionless acting was very good for this role. I thought Kang Hyun Joong did really well as Ji Hoo. They didn’t seem to be just randomly put there and they definitely manipulated your emotions. The songs were very nice and were great mood-setters also. The first half of the drama had a round of songs it played and in the second half, these songs completely changed. I loved how the soundtrack was not just two or three songs played over and over. There were so many good things about this drama. Surprise, surprise! Actually, is it really a wonder as to why this was the first Korean drama to come to my mind? It was not my first Korean drama, but it was one that I have watched three times fully through and it never gets old. Also, if you’re new to Korean dramas, this is a great one to start with and a great one to introduce to your family/friends who might be looking for something good to watch. With Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum together, you can never go wrong.
These are in no particular order, just the order they came into my mind (so, I guess they are in some sort of order…)Īll I have to say about this drama (since I just wrote a full-length review) is that it is one of the best in Kdrama history. It features original jazz music by globally renowned musician Jon Batiste, and Oscar® winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (“The Social Network”), from Nine Inch Nails, composed an original score that drifts between the real and soul worlds.I’m very behind on my reviews of all the dramas I’ve watched, and I might get caught up on them in the future, but since I have so many I have not reviewed, I just decided I would make a list of the dramas all Asian drama fans must watch…starting with Korean dramas. Directed by Academy Award® winner Pete Docter (“Inside Out,” “Up”), co-directed by Kemp Powers (“One Night in Miami”), written by Kemp Powers & Mike Jones, and produced by Academy Award nominee Dana Murray (Pixar short “Lou”), SOUL also stars the voice talents of Phylicia Rashad, Questlove and Daveed Diggs. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22 (voice of Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. What is it that makes you.YOU?
