Big Issue (2019)

PURE ENTERTAINMENT

Big issue is a good drama . The one which keeps you wanting for more .
A totally new outlook from the perspective of paparazzi media , with retro vintage music combined .
In short Big Issue is a complete package of enjoyment.
Everything makes sense.
Greed, power, money, nothing's much overhyped here like all K dramas do .

It's all within the limits of the person's capability .
The difficulties they face , I mean even being that to is not easy .
Each and every relevant fact have been factored out .
In short
This drama is a masterpiece .

ACTING :
You know many actors and actress play certain roles but in this drama they have this Aura of the character they're playing .
They have one of the best chemistry .
Specially Han Ye seul , What a gorgeous beauty .
She has the talent of acting with her eyes and expressions .
I was just mesmerized by her throughout this .

ROMANCE :
Are you a fan of cold romance ?
Then welcome to the club .
This drama will make you crave for it .
But you'll get really nothing except little niggles in b/w .
This has one of the coldest romance ( If you've seen K2 you know what I'm talking bout ).

PS : The biggest hidden lesson is the social media outlook .
Photos , how dangerous can they be ?
I mean just think of the fact that if you're being monitored everytime . How would that feel ?Even thinking bout that makes you cringe , right ?
Now what if it gets leaked to the world .
That's it I will leave you here to wonder .

Big Issue has been a random drama for me to watch. I only watched it while looking at Han Ye Seul's instagram wondering what drama is she going to be on. Little did I know, after watching the first two episodes, it got me hooked already. The way Han Seok Joo risked his life on that train to get the photo taken was surprising for me. I guess this is how paparazzis work? Anyway, I liked this drama because it gave me the other side of the entertainment, politics and media industry. I think I was only secluded with the happy and positive environment that the korean dramas show.

It's a dirty. The drama revealed many things especially with the current situation that Korea's facing right now. It might not be the EXACT thing, but it somehow connected it to the issues that's happening in there now. I loved the cast, so much. They exert so much effort to bring out the emotions and what their character is thinking. Kudos to Han Ye Seul and Joo Jin Mo. They were really good and to be honest, I liked their chemistry.

Another character that I liked was Ms. Seo (Ji Soo Hyun's assistant). I really don't have any particular reasons why I liked her but throughout the drama, I was liking her. Perhaps her character development? Speaking of character development, I was so surprised with Ji Soo Hyun's character development. When the white hair witch appeared, and we found out that she was the one controlling it, I was mind blown. Who would've thought of that?

To cut this, since it's getting longer, if you're interested to see what goes behind the camera, pretty pictures and smiles of your favorite actress, figure, try watching this. It's going to blow your mind because while watching, this thought might occur to you: "This is actually happening in Korea" or any country to be honest.

That's it folks! I hope you guys watch this drama. I really loved it. I'm sad it had to end.

Este drama não foi fácil de assistir, infelizmente a história não me manteve entretida. Eu procurava um drama diferente e interessante, este foi o primeiro drama que vi mostrando este mundo "paparazzi" por isto decidi assisti-lo. Eu já sabia que este era um mundo bem duvidoso e asqueroso mas este drama superou minhas expectativas neste quesito.

A empresa retratada vai muito além de simplesmente tirar fotos comprometedoras de artistas, políticos... é bem baixo o que eles fazem. Tirando a parte da prática asquerosa desta empresa, o drama tem muitas coisas sem sentido. A forma como a trama se desenrola é bem nada à ver, algumas situações não tem lógica alguma. Acho que queriam fazer uma coisa muito diferente mas acabaram se perdendo no caminho, isto me fez encarar a tela e pensar O QUÊ É ISTO QUE ESTÁ ACONTECENDO!? Oi?!

A protagonista é muito chata caramba e o protagonista é um coitado do começo ao fim do drama.

Resumindo: Não gostei, não o assistiria novamente e muito menos o indicaria.

Omg waaat .I don't even know.The show starts strangely with a bang unlike other shows that build the plot. U are hooked right from the beginning because it is believable as in i can see a paparazzo doing everything in there work to get pictures.( I have seen the daily nation or tmz).
The actors all have a way of supporting the story nobody felt out of place.i loved them all.I can't explain just watch it i promise you will not regret.
The music was also awesome .it matched the show.
As you can guess i loove this show Or I would say u swahili napenda too kipindi.
Please watch it and give it a try be open minded.

i honestly wasnt expecting much from the plot or synopsis alone but the execution was great. although they could do with a cleaner script as it can be a bit confusing during some parts.
this kind of story isnt something new, its been thought and done but few are as good as thins. its the character that bring the different. i love how both leads are kind of 'nutjob', they dont hesitate taking things to the extreme. i specially like ji soo hyun, shes the kind of cool female character that talk less and do more, the kind that show her feeling and emotion through her action.

Could have been a hit, though

This film has every element to become a hit, but the poor script ruins it all.
I was actually hooked at first by the storyline, with lives of famous people, paparazzi and cold relationships. But there were way too many problems in the script that lead to the failure. Abstract details, nonsense cases and how those cases were solved. The only thing that keeps me watching is the acting of the 2 main roles. Both HYS and JJM did their very best to perform their character, and the chemistry between the two is really interesting, kinda sad that they didn't end up together at the end (still, it's good to see them working together at last though)
This film may be bad, but the main female role Ji Soo Hyun is one of my most favourite character.

This is a great and brilliant intrigue drama that uses the paparazzi world as the backdrop to a very powerful story. Paparazzi are independent photographers who take pictures of high-profile individual from all walks of life and sell them to the highest bidder from media outlets that focus on tabloid journalism and sensationalism. The drama poses the reality of how greed, power, money, and ambition lead people to manipulate social media to move the masses from left to right and vice versa while utilizing pictures taken by paparazzi to bribe and control powerful people. It will be safe to say that in this drama the idiom "A picture is worth a thousand words" describes perfectly the drive behind the drama’s plot. The cast did a fantastic job bringing these complex characters to life. The story is well written and the dialogue is smart and powerful. Although there is a strong attraction and complicated circumstances that bring the lead couple together, there is no romantic storyline, but the leading man’s persona holds the drama together. Enjoy it!

Nunca assisti um drama onde nada, absolutamente nada, fizesse sentido na história como esse aqui, vai entrar pra história dos dramas mais sem sentido que já vi na vida.

Ele até começa com um ritmo bom, e te deixa intrigado para descobrir algumas coisas mas para por aí seus pontos positivos.

Tiveram tantas cenas absurdas e bizarras que vou te contar viu!

Fiz questão de assistir tudo de um vez pra me livrar logo dele, aff nada conseguiu me convencer os personagens são antipáticos, o protagonista é praticamente um fantoche nas mãos de todo mundo, o que me deixou extremamente irritada.

Eu simplesmente detestei a protagonista, que estava mais para uma vilã do que pra qualquer outra coisa, sem contar que aquele romance que tentaram forçar entre os protagonistas não me desceu hora nenhuma.

O mais estranho de tudo isso é o fato de mostrarem os paparazzi tirando mil fotos que nunca vão ser publicadas em artigos. Uma revista que só sobrevive vendendo fotos e fazendo subornos, mas que nunca publica nada, não faz sentido como eles se tornaram tão reconhecidos naquele meio, isso foi um misterio que terminei o drama sem entender.

Resumindo: foi uma perda de tempo total e não indicarei iesse drama.

A flame that started hot, but faded away

Big Issue was a decent drama. It started out at a phenomenal standard of story and cinematography which unfortunately started to slowly fade as each episode went on, although it would be harsh to say the latter episodes were 'bad'. I did really enjoy the story including it's depth, alongside the unexpected twists and turns along the way. These genuinely surprised me, which I always love to experience, instead of twists and turns I can predict. I also really liked the cinematography, editing and directing of this drama as I felt it all stood out compared to usual dramas. The OST was also really nice and there were definitely one or two songs I would consider 'extremely addictive/catchy'.

And whilst I did like most of the acting, let's talk about the biggest dislike of the drama for me... the characters. For a considerable portion of the drama, there was not a single character I liked. This was a struggle for me, as I always desire to like at least one character. A character doesn't necessarily have to be 'good' - a character just needs to be someone who I can root for, if that makes sense? Thankfully this wasn't for the entire drama, and there were characters I ended up liking.

Would I recommend this? For the story, yes.

Big Tissue

The drama had an interesting and enjoyable premise. The first episode on the train, despite being an obvious green-screened and cgi mix, served as a good gripping introduction to the drama. However, the drama went overboard in forcing us to suspend our disbelief without needing to do so at all, subsequently, the writing got much weaker and lazier as the drama went on. Apparently all the involved parties were super hackers running an advanced intelligence agency that is able to pull anything and everything. At the beginning of the drama, we had actual real paparazzi work with risky and challenging shots, which I really liked, but later on the drama became a mix of a power play and high-tech game, ditching what made it good in the first place. At this point, I've became too used to watching shows ditching their original premise for something cheap and lazy. Anyway, this was another drama where the romance was really out of place and did more harm than good to the story. It just couldn't work in this setting. No matter how they might spin it, it wouldn't have been a successful romance.
