Talk about whiplash in moods as the first group drama poster for Bride of the Water God arrives followed by a completely different tonal one for the episode 1 preview teaser. It’s like the static posing of the cast promises a dark ethereal gothic drama but then the viewer watches the episode 1 preview full of straight up humor and … Continue reading →
Gosh, I wish either Hwang Jung Eum wasn’t playing the leading lady role in Lucky Romance, or the genders were swapped in the drama story so the female lead was the cold stoic one. Otherwise it’s three times in a row that poor Hwang Jung Eum is playing what is essentially the same caricature of a spastic woman. Sure the … Continue reading →
If there are Yoochun fans with a long memory, they might still remember the contentious commentary I had on his drama Missing You during its airing and how much I hated his character. I still hate that one-track minded doofus Han Jung Woo but it was never an opinion that extended to Yoochun as an actor. I liked him a lot in Rooftop Prince … Continue reading →
The screenwriter of The Girl Who Sees Smells also did Rooftop Prince and viewing these two works together confirm one thing. She’s great at rom-com sweet romance and terrible at the dangerous thriller side. Rooftop Prince had the world’s most inept villainous duo, better for glaring like their eyeballs are going to pop out than pulling off intricate schemes. Smelly … Continue reading →
Tomorrow is Smelly Girl day and I couldn’t be happier to associate hump days with The Girl Who Sees Smells for the remaining weeks of its run. Last week’s episodes weren’t as explosive as the week prior, mostly because the grand reveal of chef Jae Hee as the serial killer is a pretty hard high point to beat. Instead of … Continue reading →
I’m so ready to say goodbye to Hyde, Jekyll, Me, but totally not ready to say goodbye to seeing Hyun Bin on the small screen. That’s the same feeling that leads me to love Seo Jin but feel nothing for Robin, so I guess it’s fitting what with this drama being all about a man suffering from DID. Episode 19 … Continue reading →
Faced with the prospect that that there are six more episodes of Hyde, Jekyll, Me, as opposed to two more and this week would be finale week, at the the production gives me some visual candy to sweeten the suffering. The drama has been the toggling of talking and more talking with the occasional kidnapping and escape, however absurd it’s … Continue reading →
Another week and another two episodes of Hyde, Jekyll, Me. I actually lost count of where the drama was currently at and needed to be reminded that the next episode coming up is 13. The written and video previews are out, along with two sets of drama stills. One shows a conversation scene between Seo Jin and Ha Na, a development … Continue reading →
I swear my “Ha Na is like Seo Jin’s special tree” metaphor came completely organically. I kept wondering how best to really capture her presence in Hyde, Jekyll, Me (or Hyde, Jekyll, Tree) so far and her stiff and blank facial expressions (or non-expressions) totally landed me in the tree comparison realm. Even better is Seo Jin having an indoor atrium/hothouse … Continue reading →
Is anyone else still watching Hyde, Jekyll, Me find the symptoms of the onset of conditioning. I feel like a dog accustomed to disappointment so the tiniest of affection makes me giddy. I can count on one hand the things I like about the drama so far, and it goes like this: Hyun Bin, Seo Jin, Director Gu, Sung Joon, … Continue reading →
It’s been a few days downtime since the last episode of Hyde, Jekyll, Me and I’m still pretty stoked about this week’s new episodes all thanks to the injection of bad Tae Joo to the mix. It’s pretty interesting to wonder he has up his sleeve to punish and torment Seo Jin. With his hypnosis expertise he can really do … Continue reading →
I’m feeling pretty optimistic now that the first four episodes of Hyde, Jekyll, Me are done and I’ve vented my disappointment. The preview for episode 5 is the first time I’ve gotten excited about what’s to come, it genuinely looks fun and interesting now that Seo Jin and Ha Na are going to be living together. I’m glad I like … Continue reading →
The fourth and latest preview for Hyde, Jekyll, Me is the best yet, showcasing in a short thirty seconds just enough backstory and juicy tidbits to whet my appetite. It’s actually arriving next week now that Pinocchio wraps up tomorrow, turning the Wed-Thurs time slot into a battle of the personality disorders. Unlike Kill Me Heal Me and the main … Continue reading →
