This was the most substantive episode of Heirs/The Inheritors to date. It also helped immensely that the protracted staring was kept to a minimum, though sadly there was no commensurate improvement on the kissing front. This was the first time that I saw a smidge of character development on all major fronts, and even if it took 12 episodes that’s … Continue reading →
C-entertainment (Mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong) went on a blitzkrieg yesterday with the dating news dump and November 13th is being called Red Wednesday. Either it was the case of the most surreptitious coordinating in the history of entertainment news or else the biggest coincidence ever. In addition to Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi dating, Yang Mi and Hawick … Continue reading →
Looks like there is more kissy kissy time ahead for the OTP in Heirs/The Inheritors. I wished I cared more but it’s hard to care when Tan pretty much forces his will on Eun Sang. Even if she maybe likes it, I’m not a fan of the method of taking under the assumption that the other person is willing to … Continue reading →
I think SBS can consider Heirs/The Inheritors a relative win. It’s not a ratings monster it could have been but the ratings have been on a steady one way climb since its premiere and still gets plenty of buzz online domestically and internationally. Once nightly ratings leader Secret ends this week, Heirs has a chance to own the night and … Continue reading →
I feel like watching Heirs is like playing a game of musical chairs or duck-duck-goose, the entire narrative keeps going in circles and chases that have no exit. One thing teen dramas is supposed to have is a surfeit of fun. Because they are young and aren’t tied to adult and real world problems and consequences yet, the narrative allows … Continue reading →
At this point, it’s going to be easier spotting sad single lonely C-entertainers in the audience because everyone else is hooking up or tying the knot left and right. Today November 13 is going to be a day of threes starting with Bu Bu Jing Xin co-stars Nicky Wu and Liu Shi Shi confirming their new relationship. Up next to … Continue reading →
I think Kim Eun Seok casted well in pairing up Lee Min Ho and Kim Woo Bin as frenemies in Heirs/The Inheritors. They are both equally as tall and honestly their mano-a-mano staredowns wouldn’t work if they weren’t equally as imposing. Tan is quiet but I like that he acts out first whenever Young Do pushes the wrong Eun Sang related buttons around him. In the preview … Continue reading →
Oh. My. God. I confess to never thinking this could even be possible, and rather laughed that so many 4th Prince-Ruo Xi shippers in Bu Bu Jing Xin transferred their romance to the lead actors Nicky Wu (Wu Qi Long) and Liu Shi Shi. I may be a HongShi shipper but the LongShi fans always seemed a ship far off … Continue reading →
I’ve finally cottoned on to what is so utterly aggravating about Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice). The writing is flawed but it’s not horrendous, with a veritable avalanche of shitty dramas lined up way ahead of it. The acting is solid but marred by frustrating characterizations. But ultimately what’s killing my love for it (and I did love it … Continue reading →
I think Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye have better chemistry in BTS of Heirs/The Inheritors than in the drama proper. Sorry guys, but Tan and Eun Sang are just too dour when together for any chemistry to manifest itself. Tan can stare at Eun Sang all day long and grab her whenever he feels like it, but all … Continue reading →
I worry that the screenwriter has really laid her groundwork for the entire story of Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) but it won’t be until the very end that all the clues line up and all the issues get resolved. Along the way the viewers are frustrated and the characters get pulled through the ringer only to reach … Continue reading →
It’s been a slow and long week in GeumBum news, which is a positive sign the cute lovely babies are not being bothered heading into the third week of their European vacation. But for those wanting more happy news that they are still in love and enjoying their time off, it’s been a wait and see situation. I said that … Continue reading →
This episode of Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) was simultaneously better yet more frustrating. I’m back to loving Shin wholeheartedly, he’s a man who isn’t just principled yet emotionally aware, he’s also reflective and capable of change. Mi Rae continues to waffle back and forth between Se Joo and Shin, but this was the episode that showed me … Continue reading →
