I am watching a korean drama "On Air (
One-Sided Love Aff
air)". It wasn't exactly new, a 2008 drama. Not done but it is good so far.
Have sth tt I must share. "On Air" is produced like a really big jigsaw puzzle. Putting in more discs and keep playing them equals to searching for the correct pieces of jigsaw puzzle to fit them together. Since you have no clue what you will attain at the end, you will hate this feeling of not being able to understand. Why did this happened? What happened after tt?
Cos the drama director and scriptwriter did the drama in a way that the audience are constantly cliff hanged. Of cos, we(audience) will feel "suffocating" and "exhausting". We often will ask: "What? Why? How come?". A scene speak the truth and dismiss some curiosity is so often being "dissected" and "distributed" to different episodes to thirst us. But it was and is still good.
The characters portray their thoughts, feelings, actions and everything else so well. Maybe bcos they are all front line actors/actresses. Something else I am defeated head over heals is that the characters have to have so many emotions and acting. One for the real life character of themselves and the other for the drama inside this drama. Kim Ha Neul won me over from head to toe. Her real character is a superstar who doesn't know how to act. In the drama within this film, this superstar has to act as a 25 year old with 7 yr old thoughts. How to act like you didn't know how to act? didn't know how to cry? didn't know how to speak the lines properly? Kim Ha Neul is indeed a superb actress! GREAT!
Song Yoon Ah is also very very good. She can make the audience feel for her. Be in her shoe as a scriptwriter. Feel bad for her losing dignity as a A-classs scriptwriter to a newbie actress with strong financial backup. Tear with her. Root her up. All of these... you'll need watch them for yourselves and you'll know what I mean.
On my way to the last disc (last 5 ep)! Possibly I can chiong them by tonite. =]
