This Week's "Cafe Minamdang" Makes Me Further Wish My Wacky Wishful Casting Happened

EpicStream

I was looking into Cafe Minamdang. Okay, I'm still fine with the cast but I felt some scenes would've been "better" or "funnier" if some selected members of the cast of Justice were playing the roles. I would actually think about the weird scenes that happened. I'd be naming what I felt could've been funnier if these guys took the roles instead.


The most obvious has to be that I actually want Choi Jin Hyuk and Jin A Nana to portray the contrasting rivals. They did that in Justice where Nana wants justice to prevail while Jin Hyuk gets corrupted by his desire for revenge. They could've done a funnier job as Nam Han Joon (a fallen profiler turned "shaman") and Han Jae Hee. I kinda wanted to see Jin Hyuk kiss Nana on-screen. Besides, I felt that there was an opportunity to turn it into a Beauty and the Beast mixed with detective action. Anybody who saw the 1987 TV series of the same name might be able to relate.

IMDB

For a start, I think Jin Hyuk's face might fit the face of the profiler turned "shaman". I did watch him in Pride and Prejudice where he had some funny moments while serious moments kicked in rather perfectly. I'm not saying Seo In Guk is bad. I just felt Jin Hyuk probably could've been funnier playing the fallen profiler. Jin Hyuk is a good actor and he has a funny face to accompany him. I think his not being good-looking and muscular works that charm. 

KDrama Stars

After watching Memorials, Park Sung Hoon could ideally be Jin Hyuk's dumb sidekick Gong Su Cheol. He only looked evil in Justice due to his makeup. In Memorials, he's that all-around good guy. I think the moment when Han Joon kisses Jae Hee could be an excellent opportunity to make him funnier. He's worked with Jin Hyuk in Justice and worked with Nana twice because of Memorials. Sung Hoon was able to play a sex pervert and a nice guy. I can't imagine why he can't play as the dumb sidekick. It'd be fun to see him battered up by Nana yet again.

I think Oh Yeon Seo's acting is too good for the sideline. At least, Yeon Seo had a major focus on Korean Odyssey and My Sassy Girl period drama. That's why I wanted to switch to Nana because of how Jae Hee doesn't appear until several minutes later in the TV series. Besides, Jae Hee is just an extra character. Nana's not that good with the major roles (such as Memorials) but she plays sideline characters such as in Kill It and Justice rather well. I guess Jin Hyuk praising her acting in Justice was fine. Nana did well for a sideline but just falls short (in some way) when she's given the main character. Yeon Seo does better with main characters than Nana does. That's why I wanted to pick Nana for that reason aside from wanting to see her and Jin Hyuk get flirty.

Just my two cents of insanity!

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

  SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her.  The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

  This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think.  Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
