kdrama: Arang and the Magistrate (complete)

[meganbmoore]

I watched (and psoted on) the first few episodes of this when it was first airing, and then had a subs burnout, and when that happens, it takes me months to get back to things, no matter how into them I may have been before. Thankfully, it only took an episode or two for Arang to regain momentum for me once I started watching again.

I was torn about the ending. I really wanted a happy ending but the way we got it felt so similar to the ending of Rooftop Prince so I was pretty mad. Even though when she started chewing him out for drinking the forgetfulness water, I cracked up. That was cute.

I haven't seen Rooftop Prince (I somewhat intend to, but who knows when/if i'll get to it) so I don't have that hangup. What really got me about the ending was that the child actors (especially Arang's) were able to mimic the adult actors' bodylanguage so well.

Rooftop Prince is good - with liberal use of FF during the dumb corporate stuff. And since it was first, it made me feel like the Arang writer copied or took the easy way out. Even though the endings aren't 100% similar. But same vague kind of idea, I guess. Argh - hope I didn't spoilt it for you or anything.

The child actors were spot on & adorable. It did salve the wound a little having the camera switch to their adult "inner" selves, too.
