Finally I have watched first three episodes of MLSHR. I decided to watch ep 1-3 before I write something in here because if I write just after I watched ep 1 maybe I just write all bad things lol. I haven’t read all posts in here so please bear with my post because is so full of critics and not good things and maybe redundant with previous posts. And I really hope I will never write again these all bad things for next eps..
So MLSHR turn-out to be very pretty but quite empty. Cinematography is great but editing is so choppy and jarring. The most terrible thing is BGM and OST. They are so misplaced and so unfit with scenes. I was literally pulled-out my hair in frustration every time I hear the OST. I love the OST as individual song but when they inserted randomly on scene, oh that was so bad. BGM also great as individual pieces but they really unfit with certain scene and overused. Who is music director?? He/She is the real criminal in here lol. The editing also not good. The transition between scene is so jarring. I’m sorry if I sound so technical in here. I rarely complain about this in drama I watch, but these things are so obvious and makes me as viewer feel uncomfortable.
For acting, this is full of awkward and cringeworthy acting especially the princes but except for three main leads, IU, LJK, and KHN. For me, those 3 leads are good, especially LJK, he owns his character already. The younger princes’s acting is the worst esp Baek, NJH, YSW and Jisoo. They are so bad, moreover for first 3 eps they are only served as comic characters. Such a shame!
Story is pretty interesting. This is not exact replica adaption so I understand the difference. But I invested in story already. Esp, the story of our main lead, Wang So. Ahh, this so heartful and heartwrencing. My heart hurt for him. LJK as Wang So really great potrayed his character who was abandoned by his own mother and was feared by his own brothers. And aww..when he smiled watching 10th and 14th make fun to each other.
Okay, so maybe some of you already knew that one of reason I watch this drama is Jisoo. So I’m going to write about his charater and his acting. I will put in spoiler tag because maybe some of part will be slightly off topic.
I think, the thing which makes me more frustrated watching first 3 eps of MLSHR is because of Jisoo. How do you feel when you watch drama because of your favorite actor, he was known with his great acting skill in his previous dramas but turn out in this he is just bad?? Yes, for me, in first 3 eps, Jisoo is so BAD. He is so awkward and cringeworthy. For the first time I want to fast forwarding all his scenes. I felt like I was watching his character in Page Turner, Cha Sik, in Goryeo version, but this is an awkward and cringe version. If you already watch PT you know that Cha Sik is not awkward and cringe, he’s cute in good way. But Wang Jung is just cute, but in bad way. I already read comments on Dramabeans recap ep 1 and all who mentioned Jisoo said that he is bad and I agree and actually is not just me who felt that wang jung is like cha sik because some people said the same thing lol. It seems that jisoo brings his character in PT to MLSHR but failed. I don’t know what’s wrong, the way jisoo interpreted the character, or maybe wang jung was written like that or directing or whatever I don’t know. Such a shame that SWnim writes 14th prince just as comic character because the original in novel is not like that at all. I know I know this is only beginning, and the character description hints that wang jung will through a character development in later eps. But, look how SW and PDnim (and Jisoo) treat 14th character in first 3 eps like that, I don’t have much hope. 14th prince is my favorite character in novel (and Tong Hua’s favorite as well!!) so I really disappointed with his character direction so far. I know this is not exact replica adaption just like I said before, but can SWnim write the new 14th prince as good as the original?? So, I really hope I will never write this part at the end drama later, but let me express this now:
“SWnim, PDnim (and Jisoo)..you all ruined 14th prince character for me..”
So, Jisoo’s performance in first 3 eps showed that maybe he is not suit in sageuk drama (yet). Now I know, that Jisoo is still very depend to good script and directing. He hasn’t reach a level when he can act good no matter terrible script and or directing and or drama production. He still needs learn a lot of things. See, people, Jisoo is not lead material yet. His time as lead is still long, I think. (I’m sorry I write this because I always read /literally/ all said that Jisoo deserves get 1st main lead already, for me, he is not ready as lead yet, and I’m big fan of Jisoo :p). For people who complained that he is in everything lately (he was in Doctors, drama before MLSHR and he also act in JTBC drama FantastiC and will premiere next Friday), please let him takes a lot of roles and characters, even though only as supporting. He can learn a lot from his sunbaes, PD and or his co-star.
Ep 3 definitely better than first 2 eps and I heard they will also re-edit first 3 eps, so there is a hope they will re-edit all next episodes. Sorry If my post sounds so negative. But I just want this drama gets better. Now even I don't really care about ratings. Some of my all time favorite drama got low ratings but also got great review. I just want for next eps, MLSHR will get good review and respons from viewers. Fighting!!!
