Just finished watching 'No heaven, but love' and now I understand why it's taking so long for it to get a proper release outside of the festival circuit. It truly is nothing to write home about. Script was lacking and there wasn't much below surface level, at times I also couldn't help but cringe because of all the clichés they kept throwing at us.

A side character (played by Shin Gi-hwan) was actually the most developed in terms of writing, depth, and character development (and the only character I truly cared about). Lee Yoo-mi did the best she could with what she was given (not much) and there is not much to say about Park Soo-yeon's performance either. Her performance was average at best and not sure if she has the ''charisma'' (if you will) to carry a film on her shoulders. Again, the script could be to blame for this, but even in scenes where she was supposedly overcome by emotions it just didn't press home for me.

Don't want to spoiler too much because I assume that some of you want to see this movie, but please don't get your hopes up.
Where did you watch? Almost all the Korean indie films take more than year to get a theatre release. Even the very critical acclaimed ones.
Was Googling to see if the movie is out yet and saw it's playing at the Florence Korea Film Fest right now. When I went to the website it said that there is also an online screening so I clicked on it. Had to sign up, pay 12 euros, and use an Italian VPN to actually watch it. I believe the online festival is until the 30th so I better watch more stuff to get my moneys worth. :rofl:
Are there any kissing scenes? How was the love story? I don't mind spoilers.

the creepy dude has been lucky staring with talented gorgeous actress who make the drama the success that it is, only for him to benefit the most from that success.
Instead of focusing on only Jiwon, you derail what you've said about her by also ranting about Soohyun. How old are you?

I don't care about Soohyun so I don't spend even a second of my time thinking of him. But you go on and on at every opportunity you can find to OCD about him. You are obsessed with him. You can't let it go.

Focus on Jiwon, focus on her character, focus on the story, focus on any other actor or character, but please do Jiwon and this thread a favor: stop infecting every discussion about QoT with rants about Soohyun.
Da If anyone is obsessed it's clearly you, imagine being on a lesbian board when you stan a man who is a groomer and a known creep? You're pathetic.

For the QoT I skipped all of the soap opera nonsense because I know those will infuriate viewers. Like that's not what I'm watching it for. Watched all Kim Jiwon's scenes. What a stunning beauty to look at. She sings well too. The whole plot will be better if it's more focused on her and her old memories. We want to know what made haein that emotionally reclusive.
Well he's always been that shitass to me so I don't feel upset about it and ignore his being in the entire drama. I dont think he's into women around his age anyway since they can't be controlled by his psychopathic behavior. Anyone also thinks he's the type to be very controlling and that his other half must worship him as their one and only?

I believe jiwon is the type to enjoy the fine arts in all genres except gore and horror and so she's in the acting world for that or else she'd have been an idol. Definitely going to star in more shows after this as her rise as an A lister. I don't believe those controversies that have nothing to do with her will affect the show ratings.
Haein acting like her weird self, the funny and emotional scenes, the scenes with his family have been the highlight for me. Kim Jiwon is so talented and she's carrying that drama on her back, the creepy dude has been lucky staring with talented gorgeous actress who make the drama the success that it is, only for him to benefit the most from that success.

Watched the six episodes, so far, of Queen of Tears. The tension between Hae-in (Kim Ji-won) and Hyun-woo (Kim Soo-hyun), and the softening of relations between them, keeps being re-emphasized. But it's like the story goes one step forward, then two steps back. There are just one too many unnecessary scenes. I don't think this series needed 16 episodes to complete the story arc. It probably would have been better to get from point A to point B with 12 episodes.
I have no idea what they'll be doing in 16 episodes, i just can't wrap my mind around what they can cover especially with how long the episodes are. I'm only still watching because Kim Jiwon is absolutely memorizing on screen and so talented.

Pyramid game was a good time, albeit felt a bit rushed.
OP looks like Bona has replied saying she believes the ending to be an "open ending" and there have been no discussions for a season 2. A little sad but not surprising.


da that's kinda sad i truly enjoyed the series. but i heard it made some noise and ranked high in tving so i do hope they change their mind. despite some anons claiming,, i found bona and jang daah's acting really great. also...

Het Kpop fans are braindead "the pictures are old" doesn't that make it even worse?? And then focusing only on her ruining their delusion when he's a whole groomer.
Yoona calling him a psycho speaks volumes, no doubt about it.

It's kinda disappointing hearing Jiwon talk about rewatching his old drama, feeds the illusion they are together irl.
She has always said she was his fan..? How is she doing that by saying this? Dude is a weirdo who likes little girls, give it up with the delusion.

When sa3ron had the DUI weren't there rumors she has a big celeb with her? If people dig around and this is true he's over especially because he groomed her ffs girl was 20 back then and he met her when she was a child.. Poor Jiwon and all her hard work going to waste... anon who called him a weirdo is right, the other day I saw videos of them promoting and he's so annoying and weird. I can't believe someone claimed Jiwon is linked to him when it was just pathetic shippers.
4/4 of Kim Jiwon's ML are problematic af. Her talent and success is mostly overshadowed by their scandals. I honestly feel bad for her

Isn't the male actor from Queen of tears rumored to be a creep? He said in an interview years ago that he wants to get married to 19 year old girl when he is over 40.
The writer of the show was also accused of stealing scripts or something I think.
Those two allegations are debunked, girl bye!
lol 4 days later...
Da lmao I'm willing to bet it's the same anon claiming he was dating Jiwon.

She signed with his cousin's newfound agency when she was 19. Let's see what happens
Her career is already over so she has nothing to lose.

aside from those creep allegations, ksh has always been a weirdo. he's worse than y00 ah in in weirdness. atleast yai can hold his conversations normally, ksh just derails things with how weird he is. it's why i don't like it when he guests on my favorite variety shows lol

i knew somethings gonna give in at some point with him, they give me the ick. i felt it with y00 ah in, and now ksh, p@rk se0 jun too but he turned a new leaf lately in attaching his names to good people so let's see

Kim Jiwon's male co-star has been accused on Twitter of inappropriate behavior. It's advisable to refrain from shipping him with Jiwon.

K-drama fans often ship Jiwon with her male leads in real life, despite her not showing any romantic interest that must been infuriating for her. Despite of her co-star's recent issue I'll continuously watch "Queen of Tears" for Jiwon glad she's finally getting the recognition she deserves.
Free Kim Jiwon & IU from this man and his stans 😭🙏

On pyramid game, I liked it because it was an all female cast with complicated female characters and really focused on the relationships between them. Almost no heterosexuality. The acting isnt the greatest I think in part because they’re rookies and partially because of the writing. But since it’s so plot heavy and short, it doesn’t factor in much. I also think Bona/Kim Jiyeon did a good job.

What annoyed me mostly was (spoilers for the finale):

Re: Korean Dramas

by Guest » 21 Mar 2024, 09:05

I enjoy Pyramid Game but I think it's because it's not revolved around men, doesn't focus on het romance at all and there isn't really any boring scenes. Would you recommend Queen of Tears to me? I don't mind male characters, I just don't want het romance to be the main focus.

Is Pyramid Game good? I need something to watch and i saw someone recommend it on the shows thread but they didn't say much.
Depends. Do you like high school settings and are you willing to suspend your disbelief in the name of entertainment? The whole premise and villain are a little ridiculous to say the least, but that's what you get with a somewhat-on-nose social commentary on hierarchies, chaebol, and corruption; all placed within a drama high school setting that is obviously aimed at teens and young adults. Not saying adults can't enjoy it, but you get what I mean. Personally, I enjoy it because of how outrageous the whole premise is, especially with such an over-the top and ridiculous (almost camp) villain. Whenever she threatens someone in her cutsie Gucci/Ralph Lauren getup with her deadpan stare (and semi-bad acting) and the other person just trembles in fear... I can't help but laugh. Same for the ridiculous games and scenarios she comes up with. Like... is girl brainstorming in her bedroom all night to come up with this shit or does she have some sociologist with a PhD in mass-psychology on speed dial?

Personally, I am always up for anything with a mostly female cast with multifaceted characters. There being gay characters is an added bonus. The pacing of the whole thing is quite good, so there is rarely a dull moment. Give it a go, anon!
I tried to give it a go, the first bullying scene made me so uncomfortable. There's also a girl who looks to the camera when she acts, it took me out. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
Yeah, the bullying scenes in episode 1 and 2 are pretty hard to watch. Thankfully most of the bullying is done more sneakily in the later episodes, not as much violence.

No offense to anon, but I always roll my eyes a little when people paint people who place themselves in the spotlight as actors/entertainers as super introverted and socially awkward. These people appear before a ton of people for their jobs, whether it's on a set, on stage, doing a PR tour, posting on social media, cf deals, etc... their whole career is based on them showing themselves off in front of other people. :unsure:
I was the one who talked about the extra, I didn't know much about KJW at all when I found that video or when I started watching so I wasn't some fan trying to make things up. The extra is not even Asian she also didn't know her, she was surprised about how she kept to herself and how she didn't talk much or interact with anyone. Then I came here and I realized that it was a thing she was know for, I found out that she doesn't use social media and even in interviews she really seems like that. Someone can pursue acting because they're talented and love the profession and not because they're attention whores many actors are this way.

Personally, I am always up for anything with a mostly female cast with multifaceted characters. There being gay characters is an added bonus. The pacing of the whole thing is quite good, so there is rarely a dull moment. Give it a go, anon!
They're trembling because they know she can literally control every facet of their life, their future and everyone around them.. Not because she's got her Gucci gear on. Lol. Agree though some aspects are very far fetched. I'd rec it to anyone to give it a go. Sad it's going to be a 1-and-done show.
Obviously. Her character is just very ''anime villain'' to me, that's why it's so funny. Her acting super unhinged and coming up with insane scenarios (like dodgeball and paintball) would work better if the character wasn't written so blatantly and was a little more mysterious. The writers and director want us to take all of this very serious, while if you think about it for a second most of the scenarios are just ridiculous all around. :rofl: That's why I can't take Ha-rin serious as a villain, the way they dress her up and the mediocre acting just adds to it. Don't mean any of this in a bad way, it's what makes the show entertaining as hell to me and I am living for it.

Is Pyramid Game good? I need something to watch and i saw someone recommend it on the shows thread but they didn't say much.
Depends. Do you like high school settings and are you willing to suspend your disbelief in the name of entertainment? The whole premise and villain are a little ridiculous to say the least, but that's what you get with a somewhat-on-nose social commentary on hierarchies, chaebol, and corruption; all placed within a drama high school setting that is obviously aimed at teens and young adults. Not saying adults can't enjoy it, but you get what I mean. Personally, I enjoy it because of how outrageous the whole premise is, especially with such an over-the top and ridiculous (almost camp) villain. Whenever she threatens someone in her cutsie Gucci/Ralph Lauren getup with her deadpan stare (and semi-bad acting) and the other person just trembles in fear... I can't help but laugh. Same for the ridiculous games and scenarios she comes up with.

Isn't the male actor from Queen of tears rumored to be a creep? He said in an interview years ago that he wants to get married to 19 year old girl when he is over 40.
The writer of the show was also accused of stealing scripts or something I think.
Those two allegations are debunked, girl bye!
So you are a het shipper? Thanks for confirming it. Your dumbass can go ship them literally everywhere, why are you here?

Park Jieun has written 8 shows, all with couples. So how can 2/3 of her show couples be married irl?? Use your brain for once.

DA Now I’m getting intrigued. Liked her acting in My Liberation Notes. Does she have any gay rumours?
Jiwon is an introvert she does keep her personal life private. To answer your question, she is now being linked to her male co-star so its safest to assume that she is straight.

Nonetheless, we can still appreciate her beauty and talent regardless of her orientation 😁
da I don't think she's anything but straight, but do you mean linked by delusional SEA shippers who ship every actors who work together? She is so awkward and isn't here for anything but her work even in interviews where she's expected to fanservice, and that dude isn't interested either, anyone with eyes can see it.
Let people can ship whoever. Keeping track of which actors are dating each other these days can be quite challenging. Jiwon is a huge fan of him and even spoke about it in an interview years ago.

"She is awkward and is only there for work" you said the same thing about Son Yejin during CLOY days like lmfao see how that end up?
Da why is a het shipper in this board the fuck? None of your bullshit is "she's being linked to him"? It's still shippers being shippers, like yourself. And I'm saying this as someone who didn't know this woman existed until 2 days ago and I barely know how the other woman even looks like. So if 2 sets of actors got married after a show, that means everyone will? You're an idiot.
DA 2/3 drama couples written by Park Ji-eun literally got/were married irl.

:rofl:
