Synopsis


“Bulgasal” is a new fantasy drama starring Lee Jin Wook as Dan Hwal, a bulgasal (a mythical creature that cannot die or age) who was once human centuries ago.
He turns into a bulgasal during the Joseon dynasty while working as a military official and completing a mission to erase the remnants of the previous dynasty.


Kwon Nara will star as Min Sang Woon, a woman who is repeatedly reincarnated while fleeing the bulgasal, but remembers all her past lives. After suffering the loss of her mother and twin sister at the hands of an unidentified murderer, she escapes with her younger sister, Min Sa Ho, and lives quietly in hiding. Although she works hard to conceal her name and identity, the appearance of a bulgasal alters her life of secrecy.


Lee Joon will star as Ok Eul Tae, another bulgasal living in secrecy. He has enjoyed immorality for the past centuries and has accumulated immense wealth, which he uses to control politicians, businessmen, and the media. With his decadent beauty and overwhelming charisma, he has all the ingredients to be the most powerful figure in Korea.


Gong Seung Yeon will star in the drama as Dan Sol, Dan Hwal’s wife from 600 years ago, who possesses a mysterious power that others can’t comprehend. As the only daughter of military officer Dan Geuk (played by Jung Jin Young), Dan Sol is forced by her father to marry Dan Hwal against her will.

ok, nanti bagi review ye...

xyla73

bestlah citer ni...
i'm so immersed watching it...
pelakon2 bukanlah my favorite, tapi jalan cerita setakat epi 1 best...
harap2 takdelah ke laut nanti...
someone mentioned writer ni writer The Guest...
patutlah best...

epi 1 cerita masa hero tu is still a human zaman Georyeo dulu...
dari kecik mcm kena pulau dgn org kampung sebab dia dipercayai kena sumpahan makhluk Bulgasal ni...
sehinggalah ada jeneral tentera ambik dia jadi anak angkat & then menantu...
antara sumpahan dia sapa2 yg rapat dgn dia takkan selamat & that's why dia tak pernah sentuh anak dia...
ending epi 1 sedih & tunjuk camna dia jadi Bulgasal

visual sgt cantik cuma byk darah splattered everywhere...
drama ni memang netflix material lah...
direction is also good...
cuma Kwon Nara tulah...i'm not fond of her sebab dia tu expressionless & rasanya watak dlm citer ni terlalu besar utk dia...

Dah ada yang review hehe...baru tgk tgh hari td

Episod 1 cerita pasal watak yg bernama Hwal dari lahir sampai dia jadi Bulgasal.....seperti yang dijangka sinematografi mmg letop dan byk bermain dgn darah (tapi xbleh lwn dgn drama Sweet Home dimana semua episod banyak darah lol)

Ada baca komen2 forummer yg kurang favour dengan Lee Jin Wook....saya tgk performance LJW dlm drama Voice 2 & 3 dan Sweet Home (3 drama ni jala yg saya tonton)....dan tgk ep 1 drama ni saya boleh kata LJW boleh bawa watak karakter hero yang cold heart...rasanya ni first time dia berlakon drama genre fantasi

Dan baru 1st time tgk lakonan Kwon Nara dgn Gong Seung Yeon....rasanya dah boleh tau tahap lakonan depa ni mcm mana....saya boleh kata Kwon Nara nmpk sesuai bergandingan dgn LJW wlpun beza umur 10 thn...sebab muka matang banding dgn GSY yang jadi bini Hwal huhu sekadar pandangan

Sebab baru tgk 1 ep.....hype untuk drama ni masih belum dirasai lagi....tapi sinematografi buatan Studio Dragon selalunya jarang mengecewakan

xyla73

Dah tgk epi 2...makin byk persoalan...apa yg iols faham setakat ni ikut pemahaman iols sendiri & hasil google komen2 netizen :
Min Sang Yeon & Min Sang Woon tu former bulgasal yg dilahirkan semula sebagai kembar - sorang with memories of her past life & kesan tikaman, sorang lagi ada soul yg asalnya dari Hwal...yg mati Min Sang Yeon yg ada memory tu..

Hwal bukan bulgasal yg bunuh family Min Sang Woon ni sebab dia dah janji dgn ayah angkat dia utk tak bunuh manusia...masa abad ke 15 dulu painter yg rupa2nya monster tu ada bagitau ada sorang lagi selain drpd Hwal cari former bulgasal ni...so yg sorang lagi tu maybe yg bunuh Min Sang Yeon & mak diorg...

Selain drpd tu, since diorg kembar in the present life, adakah ini bermaksud bulgasal yg dulu tu ada kembar jugak? Yg selamatkan Hwal masa kecik & yg bunuh family Hwal, adakah makhluk yg sama atau berlainan?

Yg jadi kembar ni pelakon yg jadi Ji Eun Tak masa kecik dlm Goblin...mula2 iols ingat citer ni lebih kurang mcm Goblin tapi rupa2nya tak...this one is darker mcm underworld fantasy gitu...

xyla73

Teori ni make sense...

bulgasal

wow i dah tengok episode 1 and 2  , so far menarik plot lines dia , ada iras iras Goblin bila tengok pedang dihunus oleh Sang Un ( the bulgasal lady in red tu )  dan menikam belakang Dan Hwal , then ade concept immortality macam gumiho , goblin laks....and then bila ada watak wanita tua yg si kebayan tu ala ala del luna plak...i mean macam wow menari jugak plot dia ni...


i mean i kesian kat twin sister yg sunguuh bersusah payah nak selamatkan family and adiknya semua tapi si adk twon dia tu spoil je , pi call her mom...adeh maka mendapatlah..then baru nak percaya

dan ada context lah mengapa dia jadi bulgasal, ada sumpahan ketika ibunya hamilkannya dan ibu dia bunuh diri and diat akmenangis, so ketihka dia dibunuh ruhnya mengalir keluar dan masuk ke dalamw anita yg Sung un yg dah reincarnate beratus kali dah...


yg menariknya ada si bulgasal jahat and si dan hwal ni aiming for the same girl, one is for sheer revenge and the other is just pureley evil je.

so  dan hwal kena cari sung un dengan cepat...

TAPI YG I CONFUSE

2006 insidenberdarah dalam apartment depa tu yg
mati ibu  depa Jin Hee
then siapa MIN SANG YEON ke mIN SANG UN
yg i tahu SANG UN tu yg mati dah , dan dia wasiatkan adik kembarnya untuk cari jalan bunuh bulgasal and dia tahu dia tak dapat kelahiran semula lagikan

so itu SANG UN sebenar lah kan?

yg hidup ni SANG YEON kan?

No, yg mati tu Min Sang Yeon...yg hidup tu Min Sang Un & roh Dan Hwal ada kat dia...i guess monster yg bunuh kembar dia tu tersalah org & tak tau yg roh Dan Hwal ada kat Sang Un...
Remember monster yg jadi bus driver tu cakap kat Sang Un yg dia boleh bau roh Dan Hwal?

xyla73

Satu benda i x faham...kenapa acik ni panggil sang yeon 'unnie'?

xyla73

Nak penerangan panjang lebar meh tgk post fb kakimuvee ni...
Respect admin kat situ tulis panjang lebar nak bagi org faham...iols pun x mampu nak buat commitment sebegitu...

i see...itu yg susah payah usaha untuk lindungi family dia and the one yg mimpi semua tu kan? aneh jugak kan ? bukan ming Sang Un yang actual reincarnate tapi yg dapat semua mimpi etc ialah twin dia wow...

okay got you. thanks for this.

mbhcsf

i suka apa yg dinasihati oleh bapa ? angkat and mertuanya sebelum meninggal , dia suruh Dan Hwal ni jangan teguk darah manusia, kan?

so good and he knows he can be a good guy...and  Dan HWal ni struggling.

okay now from the reading site FB tu , i dapat faham lagi yg so far

ep 1 and 2
si Bulgasal  tu macam boleh sense whereabouts Sang Un tu . Suka babak terakhir epi2 di mana si Sang Un and bulgasal 'bertembung' semula dan cuma dipisahkan oleh daun pintu  i suke cara paparan visual dia, nampak menarik dedua ni, dan wow after 15 thn peristiwa tu berlaku - maka ketika  malam tu dia pi balik kat lokasi kejadian tu untuk cari sesuatu - dalam almari tu , ingat  yg sang eun / woon tu dok kalut kalut pecahkan dinding dalam almari tu...so i assume yg si bulgasal ni ialah dah hwal lah nampak pun muka dah hwal .

Tapi - ingat tak satu scene di mana bulgasal sorang ni pi jumpa satu penyaisat pada waktu sayup malam untuk cari kedudukan si Sang Un dan dia diberi gajaran satu keping emas ke camtu? itu bulgasal yg  baik kan?

as you said  si Bulgasal jahat tu yg telah dibunuh dah hwal sekitar 1590+++ tu hidup sebagai driver bus - in 2006 , yes you mentioned dalam bus tu...okay now..
untuk tahun 2021 , present time si Bulgasal Dah hwal ni yg jumpa  dia dulu kan? ( reference  babak : scene akhir ep 2 ) ???

i start jadi confuse ni bila watak utama tu  Sang Un  tu masih wujud nama pemegang watk sang un instead of sang yeon  and i salah faham yg  i ingat yg dibunuh pada malam berdarah di aprtmen tu ialah Sang Un , rupanya sang Woon  adik kembar dia yg menerima mimpi tu ...aneh kan...ketika 2006  tu Sang Un tu macam denying everything and anyting related to Bulgasal. adehh...and geram juga bial she made the blunder  - well she was the ono who called the mom to pick her up at the bus station on teh fated nite , malam kejadian tu in 2006.



tang bab si penulis FB tu puji sinematografi , i think betul jugaklah masa ep 1 tu banyak kawasan sungai lembanh datran hijau tu i suke...

tapi mai ep 2 , it is all ...yes lah citer thriller fantasy cam ni dia mula buat seram sejuk....sedih tengok babak dia jumpa bapa angkat / mertuanya tu ...ver touching scenes. he wanted to end his life but failed to do. teh daddy still believed he is a good guy and soul...buat dia janji kan , toucing babak tu. because nampak he is struggling ..sian lah.

i kesian kat Sang Un terpaksa hidup berpindah randah sebab - si Bulgasal Dah hwal tu  tahu jugak akhirnya di maka dia berada after 15 thn lah kan , dan dia tak sempat tangkap si Sang Un ni ...

pandai juga cari tempat bersembunyi.

Cuma si bulgasal jahat tu sejak 2006 - setelah di apartment tu..dia belum jumpa sang Un lagi ....so...interesting plot nanti ...

More explanation...citer ni tak boleh tgk sorang2 & fahamkan sendiri...nanti tak faham2 sampai ke sudah...Dah ada thread ni bolehlah bincang sama2 mana yg tak faham...
