The Third Charm (continued)

Much of the show is about power imbalances in relationships. Who confesses first? Who loves more? Who is willing to sacrifice more? There is SO MUCH symbolism in this show, some profound dialogue & 1 scene involving an apology, forgiveness & reconciliation with no dialogue - just beautiful. Seo Kang Joon can tell a story with his eyes.

Many didn't like the ending. It's one where, if you follow the symbolism & where the leads are in their lives, it makes complete sense. If you hadn't been looking for clues, you might be disappointed. I want to go back & catch all the things I missed when I was hating it. It may seriously become 1 of my favorite heart-wrenching dramas.

The Third Charm
(2018 - Netflix, 16 1:15 eps)

Wow!
It has a 6.7 rating on MDL, so I had been putting off watching, even though I enjoy Seo Kang Joon's acting. After I saw Esom in another drama, I thought I'd try.

Around eps. 4 I was going to drop it, which I rarely do. I hated the main characters. But I kept going: 1) I had seen the leads' work before & couldn't believe they would have accepted parts like this. I was right. The characters improve so much. 2) Part of this drama is set in Portugal. I am visiting in a few months & I wanted to see it through a kDrama lens. Totally worth it - so beautiful!

The FL has a lot of tragic things happen in her life, one of which hit close to home for me & caused a lot of crying - therapeutic.

What Happens To My Family?
(2014 Viki 53 1:05 NOTE: currently availabe in the U.S. region on Viki)

I binged this show - 53 episodes in 2 weeks. It was amazing. All the actors were phenomenal. Such a beautiful story. It made me laugh and sob (a lot). I was infuriated and astonished at some characters some of the time and so happy and grateful for them at other times. If you want to be a mess of emotion, this is perfect! It only dragged momentarily in a couple of episodes. The side storylines are so well done and the 3 main story lines are so engaging that 53 episodes seemed fast. Do note that it was almost 10 years ago and so there are some silly sound effects and a some goofy humor, but IMHO they just add to the kDrama-ness of it!

What Happens To My Family?

[2/2 continuation]

The 1st 5 eps seemed really sitcom like to me and I wasn't sure, but the drama came barreling in around episode 6. It is meant to be funny most of the time - great, silly sound effects and over-the-top reactions to things, but I have been in tears a few times already.

53 eps may seem like too many, but I have faith. It's like 3 dramas in one with each child in the family having a main story line and the side stories are good too. Love triangles, maybe enemies to lovers, arranged marriages, an aunt who can't keep her mouth shut, meddling mothers & cousin, 3 chaebols - it's full of the best of kDrama.

I thought I'd give this update 17 eps in because who knows if it will still be available in the U.S. by the time I finish all 53 eps. There isn't another long holiday weekend for a while.

(2014 Viki 53 1:05 NOTE: currently availabe in the U.S. region on Viki)

[1/2 cont. in reply]

If I wasn't on a PHS Quest (watch everything with Park Hyung Sik) I don't know that I would have considered watching a 53 1hr eps drama. I have been so pleasantly surprised! I ended up binging over the holiday weekend and am on episode 17 now.

I am watching for PHS, but I was pleased to see other familiar actors. Yoon Park shows up as a guy you love to hate, reminiscent of "Forcasting Love & Weather." I saw Nam Ji Hyun in "Suspicious Partner," but I like her character here better. After seeing Seo Kang Joon in "When the Weather is Nice," I was going to look for more shows with him and here he is! There are several other familiar faces too!

(see reply for more info - ran out of characters)
