Hi all, it's my first time posting a discussion for this show. I noticed this drama is quite nice. One of my top 10 definitely.
Anybody else noticed that there's subs in Portuguese, Hungarian, Persia, Italian and it's all up to date,except for Portuguese and Italian. So very popular. I thought maybe there's someone who likes the show as much as me. For instant Eng subs, the best source is not Darksmurf but King of Beer! Download drama and watch it without waiting. DarkSmurf is a few days behind but definitely FAST compared to other dramas.
I noticed it's similar to Secret Garden such as the male lead being the CEO of a shopping mall. What's that about?
The Horror and romcom mix is something not seen before. Some parts left me laughing out loud. I've rewatched it like 3 times already. It's crazy nice.
I had high hopes for Master's Sun considering it was marketed as a horror show (and I love horror), and then, after a few episodes, it turned out to be a sappy "Seen That Too Many Times Already" love story. Predictable and boring. I understand that there are people who watch shows like that over and over again, but I was extremely let down by Master's Sun. Not only is it a sappy love story, but it also follows and reuses an old (and I mean REALLY old) formula:
1) Rich arrogant guy? Check.
2) Poor woman? Check.
3) Third wheel? Check.
4) Love triangle? Check.
5) Rich guy falls in love with poor woman? Check.
And so on. But yeah, I can see why it's so popular. It pretty much rides on the success of "I Hear Your Voice", which was broadcast during the same time slot, same day and same network.
As for the actors themselves, they are doing a a decent job. The ghost side stories feel really out of place sometimes and extremely cheesy.

Well, it's true to say that the formula is REALLY old. Look at this this posting made in 2004 : http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_6100.htm
They have a need to follow the Ten Commandments otherwise it's NOT a KDRAMA. if you've watched too many Kdrama love stories then you will in time get jaded with any new shows. It's a tried and true method and this show doesn't disappoint. It's also the reason why I haven't watched much of any kdramas lately but if it's something I can watch over and over again then I consider it a top ten in my list show.
There are many plot holes. For instance, how can anybody go into the CEO of Giant shopping mall's house without anyone knowing about it? It's quite absurd and beyond belief. But even with many holes in it it's quite enjoyable. The OST is something I'm hoping someone will upload it.

I agree, from what I've heard, the OST is really decent.
As for your mentioned plot hole: There are in fact shopping malls which are open until 4AM (of course, the shops inside are closed). But if I remember correctly, the stores inside Master Sun's shopping mall weren't really closed. The teenage girls could basically steal clothes and whatnot.
Also, superb security system/team they have there. Plot holes are pretty normal in KDrama. A KDrama without any ain't a KDrama. :'D

It is weirdjica wrote:Best drama for this season. It's weird no one is discussing it here though.
It was a bit creepy in the beginning, but then they started to focus more on the romance and less to scare the audience. I hope it will continue to be this good until the end. ^^
I was expecting that this thread would be over flowing with discussions. So why is it relatively empty?
This is by far one of the best dramas I've seen this year. I'm such a wuss when it comes to horror, but in here - the funny and heart warming stuff overcomes the fear. So, yes... I am loving this show. And yey to the Hong Sisters! ^_^v
Although i have to disagree with this:
Oh and I'm not contesting your comment Miliyah, because that's your outtake on the drama and I respect your review on that. I would just like to share my 2 cents as to why I disagree on it - I hear you voice and Master's Sun are two different drama's and I think that they have there own particular charm making it popular to netizens and kdrama watchers all over the world.MiIiyah wrote: And so on.

I would rather say that Master's Sun rides the fame of Hong Sisters. When their name pops up in the news specially about a new drama, every teenybopper and rom-com lovers are on their toes waiting for it to air. Because that's their forte and that's what they are good at. Their humor and story line could go crazy (predictable and cliche, yes) but nonetheless they make it work. It works because... well... it shows in the ratings.
-------------------
Now on the topic of the DRAMA:
I would like to discuss some thoughts on the latest episode.
So just to be safe, I'm putting this in spoiler mode.
I still have issues aside from the issue of Joong-won which I think is the main plot of the drama. I have issues on how Gong-shi got weird after her coma. They are still so hush-hush about it, that it's making me really curious. I also want to know the story behind the coffee loving teenage boy. He's like a gum... always sticking to Gong-shil in the mall. heh.

Oh... I didn't think of that! But... there are so many things that happen and the inevitable death is STILL possible so I did not remove that in the option.SillyCoCo wrote:What about Hee Joo's twin? The orphanage should have records that there were twins right?
What about the 100 billion won necklace? Why is it not been sold off? Why ask for ransom if you don't spend the money? More plot holes...
Hah! Plastic surgery is another big plot hole. You may be able to change your face but you can never change your height or the voice. I believe this woman is taller than Hee Joo right?biniBningPunkista wrote:I think Hanna also had plastic surgery to change her appearance and to finally get close to Joong-won.
So many plot holes but since it's fantasy the Hong writers believe they can get away with anything and the audience will just swallow it. Well considering the ratings is 2nd and 3rd nationwide I think they can pull it off.
Actually, I don't think I'm too fond of the Hong-sisters' dramas, but this one I really like. Mainly because of the lead actors chemistry and I'm so so so glad it turns out the drama isn't a horror story. Sappy love story works fine for me.
I try to not analyse dramas too much, but instead enjoy them (when I can), but I guess that judging a drama is based on everyone's personal subjective thoughts and feelings. This one just pulls all the right strings for me, except the ghosts maybe, but there are not really any characters who annoy me as there are in a lot of other kdramas (and jdramas). I think that the love triangle is kind of harmless... and I like that the second female lead is liking the other guy. ^^
Talking about plot holes, I thought there were more in I Hear Your Voice, not to mention I couldn't stand lawyer Cha, but I still loved that show. But they're two different kinds of drama, even though they're rom-coms, you can't really compare them. Well, this drama hasn't end yet, I hope they'll tie all the loose end together or else it will really be a lot of plot holes left...
The plot with the evil twin is confusing. Her reactions and doings are not normal, how can anyone smile after seeing her sister die? For a necklace? Which she is keeping all these years without selling it for the money? And does she look like her sister or not? I hope that they will solve all our questions in the end, or else it will be a little bit frustrating.

Seems like they'll cancel Wednesday's episode.SillyCoCo wrote:Can't wait for the next ep. Supposed to be showing now.

Yes, if you go to the recap for the last Master's Sun's episode, the comments there are over 10 pages long, lol. I'm lurking there, reading comments while I wait for the next episode...SillyCoCo wrote:WHAT??? SO BAD!! At least now I know where everybody is talking about the show instead of here. This "discussion" is pretty much dead. Even the Hungarians are doing all their talking at the subs page.
I mean, she doesn't know a thing about this girl, so why is she keen on being the matchmaker for them?
I couldn't help rewatching On A Stormy Night (the anime). It's such a sweet and touching story. And fun. I have to say though, wasn't it easy for the Hong sisters to copy part of the storyline?

I wish that I didn't start to watch this drama until it ended, because then I wouldn't have to waaaaaaaaait for each episode to air every week. >.< Now it feels like I'm addicted.
This was an enjoyable contrast to Fashion King that had been watched prior. Fortunately the love triangle wasn't pushed to hard but unlike other dramas. There was no ongoing rivalry that disrupted the flow. The end tied up most the loose parts of the storyline. That was pretty refreshing.
Can get a distinct feel since this was written by the same Hong Mi Ran and Hong Jung Eun of Greatest Love. Both these are pleasant watching romance-comedy types.
I enjoy the pet names they come up with and the black whale whiskers was a howl. Especially when Tae Yi Ryung "terrorized" Kang Woo at the hospital in ep16 - 35min in.
