Ao Leste do Paraíso (2008)

Eu preciso deixar minhas impressões e virou um desabafo

Eu fui assistir o drama por causa por causa de um ator e acabei ficando por causa de outro.
Elenco principal é realmente muito interessante principalmente que estamos em 2024 e ter a oportunidade de ver um drama de 2008 com uma história pega pedaços de coisas que eram importantes em 2008 e falando sobre brigas políticas, fraude, invasão de assentamento e mostrando a dificuldade do Povo coreano em se estabelecer naquilo que seria Terra própria deles, a gente sabe que isso acontece em todos os países é com eles não são diferentes ponto mas vê o trabalho de atores que hoje em dia eu conheço muito bem mas na época eles deveriam estar no começo do seu sucesso vem aqueles envelheceram muito bem e sua maioria ainda está vivo foi bem satisfatório!

Estou um pouco nostálgica porque alguns atores entregavam tudo naquela época e hoje parece um pouco mais superficiais nas suas atuações mas dá para entender agora porque que eles permanecem firmes no seu ramo e Como conquistar o seu espaço.

O enredo da história até os episódios 25 fui de forma satisfatória apesar de ser uma época que o diálogos eram bem longos e certas partes hoje em dia poderiam ser cortadas por não haver necessidade de tantos detalhes. Isso mas é isso que torna o drama autêntico mostrando detalhes de tranças de ligações internas e ligações externas que traçam a criação de impérios dos ricos estabelecem seus negócios de forma ilegal e tudo isso através da força e da violência com a justiça e a briga dos bons tentando consertar os dedos do passado e dos seus pais de forma certa numa briga entre o bem e o mal o certo e o errado, o amor e o ódio.

As vinganças e as traições vem com coberturas adocicadas de Requinte de maldade e muito sangue o empoderamento do Poder feminino dentro de casa e da liderança da mulher mais velha mas Finanças familiares mostra como uma mulher coreana é cobrada até cuidar da parte de sucesso e sucesso da família coisa que sabemos que isso é impossível para que cada um é cada um e por mais que você ao menos de fato de tudo para criar seus filhos bem no fim das contas cada um realmente escolhe o seu destino.
São tantos requintes de maldade e sofrimento que quase que passa batido o fato do pai principal deste do caso como a esposa e ter tido dois filhos de ter tido uma relação com a irmã dela e ter tido filhos também e elas teria ficado morando cuidando uma da outra e tá tudo bem no meio de tanta pobreza realmente se preocupar com Certos detalhes principalmente depois que um homem morto era totalmente desnecessário e elas foram muito Racionais e sobrevivente.

O os enredo podem ter muitos personagens masculinos mas são as mulheres que movem a roda dos negócios com suas artes e sustentam toda a Trama porque elas são postas em papéis muito inteligentes e assertivos, colocando muitas vezes o papel do homem coreano como uma angústia homem sem atitudes e que ficam esperando as mulheres para fazer as outras coisas.

Posso estar com pensamento muito crítico agora mas me senti pesada em relação a todas as funções que essas mulheres fizeram nesse exemplo Começando por todo o rolo que se dá por uma grande Vingança das trocas de bebê que ainda não se encaixa em um raciocínio de como uma pessoa vendo como o pai biológico era tão ruim ainda assim Pode acreditar no amor daquele homem sujo.

Não vou dar spoiler mais o final é muito triste algumas pessoas podem achar que é tava necessário mas eu achei o final triste quem tinha que morrer não morrer e quem não tinha que morrer não morreu.

Eu confesso te fiz uma trapaça assisti o último episódio quando estava já no Episódio 25 e quando voltei a assistir o 27 já estava na força do ódio tudo me deixava furiosa tive que intercalar com outros doramas para poder aliviar a tensão porque realmente fiquei com raiva do roteirista mas cheiando todo esse sentimentalismo o drama remonta uma época muito interessante e fala sobre assuntos bem interessantes principalmente se você foi estudante de direito e administração vai ver muito daquilo que a gente sabe que não pode ser assim quem era a área de contabilidade vai haver coisas que só no arco da velha.

Mas não poderia se esperar nada diferente da temática de tema de mineradores, empresários condenados sedentos e gananciosos, políticos sujos, contadores sujos e a parte mais interessante foi a passagem dicionário por países diferentes e mostrando bem de leve um pouco das outras culturas que em 2008 não era mostrada de forma tão comercial mas se fosse regravado e mostrado Hoje em Dia com certeza teríamos um pouco mais da vitrine da cultura de outros países de propagandas embutidas o que de certa forma às vezes é bem interessante.

I'm writing this right as I finished watching the show with tears running down my face because they just won't seem to stop.

Great story, cast, acting, filled with action, corrupt society. Really kind of like what is happening today.
Story very interesting two babies (Song Seung Hun and Yun Jung Hoon) switched at birth by a vengeful nurse.

I got s attached to this drama, I had to remind tell myself repeatedly that it would soon, then I could go back to my life and resist punching my screen was not an option, lol.

towards the end I started having feelings of resentment towards Lee Dong Wook, as I could not believe that he was so stupid and I actually thought him selfish and ungrateful (as I said I got too attached).

Would I re-watch? No, even though it's a great drama, I was upset with the writers, for making the ending like that. You can't just take a good person out of a drama like that, especially one that everyone depends on.

I really liked this drama, I recently re-watched this drama this past year (2013) and I enjoyed it just about as much as I did when I watched it the first time.
Obviously there is a switch of birth at the hospital by a nurse filled with revenge against the villain.

Cast: I loved most of the characters, and hated a few too. My favorite was not the main lead (but he was the reason I watched this drama the first time lol) I fell in love with Park Hae Jin's character (this is actually the drama where I became a fan of Park Hae Jin) - he plays the good guys son raised by the villain - he has a lot of pain in his heart b/c he is good-natured but get's forced to do things at times that go against his conscience. He does what his "father" orders him to do and puts a seal on his heart in order to act it out. He will commit one MAJOR sin in this drama - but as the drama progresses you feel for him again and he wiggles his way into your heart. (I personally found him more attractive than the lead guy) and I liked his "love story" more than the lead guys too lol. Don't get me wrong though I still loved the lead guy ALOT and I loved his "love story" too (but his is more tragic - his pulls ALOT of tears out of your eyes *sniff *sniff)
The villains son - to be honest I liked him a bit at the beginning and then really started to detest him somewhere in the middle (believe me you probably will too - if you get emotionally attached to characters as I do).

Music: was AMAZING!!! I loved how the producers kind of gave each character their OWN song (if you read the lyrics you'll understand what I mean - reading the lyrics as you watch the drama is a true tear jerker)

Re-watch Value: Is a definite (since I have already re-watched this drama :D )

The one thing that I really did like about this drama was the premise: two babies switched at birth, growing up in their enemy's family, and then the resulting crisis years later. It seemed like a compelling story, but unfortunately most everything else about this drama kind of ruined it for me.

The drama was way longer than it needed to be, first of all. It would have been a better drama if they'd cut the number of episodes in half. Often the story went around in circles, with no real plot development happening. You get sick of seeing the characters doing and saying the same things for the umpteenth time. It got incredibly boring to watch after a while.

As the story clunked along, it increasingly became awkward and lopsided. I found it difficult to really believe or understand the motivations for the actions some of the characters were taking, since they often seemed inconsistent with the character. One of the main actresses apparently bailed before the end, and her character gets an awkward sending off, leaving a very obvious void for the remainder of the drama.

At times scenes were overacted to the point of just seeming ridiculous. Exhibit A: when you're emotional and talking to your brother, you simply yell each other's names back and forth for no apparent reason. "Hyung!" "Dong-wook-ah!" "HYUNG!" "DONG-WOOK-AH!" "HYUUUUUNG!" "DONG-WOOK-AAAAAH!" (rinse and repeat). Likewise, when you get angry with someone, you're supposed to yell their name angrily and then silently stand there, staring intensely at them. If you watch this drama, you'll notice the precise same intonation every time someone says Shin Tae-Hwan's name: "shin Tae HWAN!"

Despite the overacted scenes, I don't think most of the actors were outright horrible (when they weren't yelling someone's name, at least). With one exception, that being the White Guy. White Guy could not act his way out of a paper bag.

By the time I reached the last episode, I was thoroughly sick of the drama and had lost any empathy I'd previously felt toward the characters. So the bad news: it's not the happiest ending in the world. The good news: if you're like me, by episode 56 you wouldn't care if all the characters took a flying leap off a cliff.

First off, I'm writing this right as I finished watching the show. Had tears running down my cheeks for the past 20 minutes now because they just won't seem to stop.

Story - 10 : It's definitely a story that interested me. Two babies switched at birth by a vengeful nurse, only to discover later on in life what happened.

Acting/Cast - 10 : This one explains itself if you watch the show. The acting was fantastic. The actors portraying nice characters had you loving them at all times; the actors portraying "villains" had you wishing you had the ability to hit people through your screen.
There was, of course, the few English speaking actors every now and then that took overacting to a whole new level, but you learn to deal with it.

Music - 10 : The OST is absolutely amazing. Every song (and instrumental) is perfect. Their timing with the scenes is perfect.

Rewatch Value - 6 : I think, looking at how many episodes made up this show, this questions answers itself. Maybe, a long time down the road when I have a lot of free time, and desperately need to cry, I'd rethink this decision.

Overall - 9 : Up until secrets started slowly being revealed, it felt like it was moving incredibly slow, but I still found myself hooked. And once everybody knew everybody else's secrets, I found it hard to turn it off.

Like I stated above, if you ever need to watch something that'll have you crying your eyes out more often than not, and you don't mind a bit of a slow story, this show won't disappoint.

ok, so maybe i should start by saying i'm a very sensitive person and usually get too attached to characters, so the reason i gave this drama such a low score on my list is the end, which i'm sure you can guess by now is not good. if only the end was good i would give the drama 10. it was very hard for me to recover after that.

so if you don't mind that the drama has a bad end, you should watch it 'cause like others said, it's a great story and also the acting is excellent. if you are sensitive like me or just don't like bad ends in general, do not! watch this drama.

I finished watching this drama few days ago, and no matter what I do, I cant move it from my heart nor my mind!
I can't stop listening to OST and crying over them T_T
I really wish if I could forget this entire show and re-watch it again!

The main story is good, the drama catched me from the first episode, (I saw till 4 then stopped according to exams, then completed it all in a week xD) but some where at the 20s it got really boring >< anyways, if you forced yourself a little bit more, you'll find that this drama deserves!
The focus on the main story started at near episode 36 or so, and from there on, this drama is incredible! (and also tear-jerker T_T)

I loved the characters, my favorites are the brothers Dong-Chul and Dong-Wook
even though in the middle Dong-Wook started to annoy me, but I understood him and sympathized with him till the end

The music! oh don't even mention it, it is amazing!! I really care for ost when watching dramas, and this one has a really good combination of them. I specially like Fate Reverse by SG Wannabe, actually I am listening to it almost every day since the 4th episode of the show xD

re-watch value is low since I don't re-watch dramas usually + this drama is really long!
also I didn't heal yet from watching it T_T I'm sensitive person who got emotionally attached so easily, so this drama was kind of shock to me ^^" but I won't tell you to throw all this journey because of the ending, give it a try!

East of eden was one of the greatest melodrama that have been produced by Korea. I have watch about 200 korean drama and this drama will be on my top 5 ! Actually,I'm discover this drama through Song Seung Heon. At first, I hesitated to watch this drama because of the total no of episode was quite long. But, I force myself to give it try and end up, I never regret my decision. I'm quite late for discover this drama but in my opinion better late than never is it?!


Story/Character: For me, the story was very intense from start to finish. I truly enjoy the journey life of Lee Dong Chul from child until he turn into adults. I felt his sad, sorrow ,passion, happiness and how he willing to sacrifice his own life for his lover, family and boss! Lee Dong Chul was a good man, son, brother, worker and also husband! He also very loyal to his family, lover, friend and boss even though sometime they treat him in a bad manner. For Lee Dong Wook, at first I like his character, but after he discover the "truth" about his real parents, he turn into a monster. But for me, this what make the story become more interesting. For Shin Myung Hyun, I pity his life! Actually, he is such a fine man. But because of his situation to live with his own real father's murderer (he did not know), he quite jerk at early episode but later he turn into such a kind and responsible man after he discover the truth about his real parents. Sometimes, I'm quite sad about how everyone treat him badly even though it is not his fault. For Guk Yong Ran, I'm quite attached with her character development. At first she quite childish and rude but after she face many difficulties, later she turn into a mature woman. Her love story with Lee Dong Chul was epic! I felt their sincere love and how they willing sacrifice their own feeling towards each other in order to survive ! Lee Dong Chul and Guk Yong Ran have amazing chemistry as a couple!
But, I WARNING who ever want to watch this drama because of Min Hye Rin(Lee Da Hae), better forget about it because her character very mess up and going out no where from early episode until the end(she leave this drama in the middle episode) . And I'm quite agree with the Lee Da Hae decision to leave the cast becaue her character did not fit to the story and it also did no show any development at all.

As a conclusion, this drama is worth your time if you want to watch something that will touch your soul. But the negative thing about this drama was the ending. I'm quite frustrated how can the writer do that to Lee Dong Chul after what he had been going through! But still, I LOVE THIS DRAMA.

Acting: I'm quite impressed with the acting skill show by everyone. They give their best for this drama!
Music: Very outstanding and memorable! My favourite OST was "No one else" by Lee Seung Chul.
Rewatch value: I will watch this drama again in the future!

Extra: I think. this was the best character that Song Seung Heon have ever played!


Thank you for reading my review !
