That would have been fine and good but the couple divorced 17 months later. Then 7 months later their daughter was born. Then out of the blue, three months after the show concluded they registered their marriage. Then a couple of weeks later, the script turned them into a jarring, lovey-dovey couple. But as professionals, they went forward with their roles.
Jo readily admitted that she did not get along with Lee on the set.
Lee Dong-Gun and Jo Yoon Hee were on a Korean talk show to promote the series as it was about to reach its climax and ending arc. The one that sticks in my head is THE GENTLEMEN OF WOLGYESU TAILOR SHOP because it turned into a real life dumpster fire. After countless attempts by a chaebol, the poor woman succumbs to his advances. When I think of a slow burn, I think how weekenders use the character push-pull like rubbing two sticks together to light a fire. Voices that can melt the polar ice caps.PS: Yes, I have ulterior motives and I want your recs! What do you love (or not love?) about a slow burn romance, and what are some of your favorite dramaland examples? The journey makes the story, and I want the journey, even if it means 16 agonizing hours of it. And for me, that’s so much more fun than watching a love line that bursts through the doors with its suddenness. While we watch a couple navigate their relationship, closeness, attraction, and obstacles, we go on that slow burn journey with them. It’s also why watching movies has become practically unbearable for me: they’re too short on narrative space.īut what else is it - outside of the time taken and space given to let a romance unfold - that makes the slow burn romance so enjoyable to watch? I would argue another important part is that in encourages us to travel with the characters. They give so much primary space to their characters, and how they interact with each other, that if you’re watching a reasonably well-written show, by the end you will know what these characters need as much as they know it themselves. In fact, I feel rather spoiled with all the narrative space that K-dramas provide their lovelines.
As obsessed as I am! Because yes, I truly need 16 hours to enjoy watching this relationship go through its permutations. The term “slow burn” always grabs my attention when I’m shopping for a new drama I think I like this descriptor so much in dramaland because K-dramas are so totally obsessed with tracking the journey of the OTP.
