Circle two worlds connected movie#

The relationship of JMW and KCS was what I wished IOTNBO romance to be with the tortured heroine and good hearted hero, albeit I wished they had more romantic chemistry like IOTNBO leads, then it would have been perfect. She certainly held her own against acclaimed actor Yeo Jin Goo (who is good as always), and she even shone more because Jang Man Weol is a role of a lifetime. She persevered to better her craft, as there are lots of idols who are casted leads year after year but we’ve yet to see improvement.Įven some actors I fell in love with at first, but once they hit it big, they seem stagnant or disengaged from acting as they move from one project to another. That’s so commendable, she’s come a long way from her early acting days from Dream High and Producers. If I know nothing about k-ent, I wouldn’t have thought she is first a singer, she’s such a good actress now. kdrama korean drama circle circle two worlds connected circle kdrama yeo jin goo kim kang woo gong seung yeon lee gi kwang Looks like there’s no follow up project yet from the Circle PD’s, but I’ll definitely be waiting for more from them. At this point, scifi genre in kdramas is still not that popular, as it’s not something you can relax watch, it makes you think, as it tackles ethical issues about scientific endeavors for the progress of mankind. I’m a bit blue this show is underrated, it deserves more hype than it had. It’s a fascinating question the drama tackles about clones but there’s just not enough time. Yes, they did a cop out and he still lived through a clone, but it’s not the same. A tragic ending for all the suffering the twins went through. That penultimate episode when finally “the two worlds”, 2017 blended into 2037, and we discovered Woo Jin has already died, was simply heartbreaking. They’re all so good I didn’t even miss that there’s just subtle suggestive romance between the four leads lol. Lee Gi Kwang and Ahn Woo Yeon, who played young Kim Kang Woo, also did well.

What a great ensemble cast helmed by Yeo Jin Goo (who was so amazing here) and Kim Kang Woo, to great discovery gorgeous Gong Seung Yeon, she’s suited to be a badass action movie star. That’s refreshing, usually the viewer will only follow one sibling’s point of view the whole story. (Spoilers to follow:) Then switch to 2037, and you wonder what in the world happened in between those years, and it’s now the older twin Joon Hyuk looking for the missing Woo Jin. In 2017, you sympathize with Yeo Jin Goo’s Woo Jin as he carries the burden of what’s happening to his brother.

Circle is brilliant, it’s confusing at first as timelines are jumbled and as setup of mystery thrillers are, but as it slowly unravels, it pays off big time.Įvery episode is in two parts: 2017, as we figure out what happened in the past, between the two brothers, and 2037, as we bridge who is who in the future, which is my new fave trope. I got used to kdramas losing their steam halfway or you stare blankly at the closing credits, and there’s no decent explanation at all for everything (I love you Alhambra, but I’m looking at you). Kdrama scifi-scratch that- scifi at its finest.
