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 →
I can say one thing about Heirs/The Inheritors, which is that it hasn’t gotten worse which is a problem that plagues most dramas as the live-shoot catches up and the writer can’t find a way to end what was a promising story. So far Heirs rather putters around in its own mediocrity still, but a few elements have livened up … Continue reading →
Take a good look at curly-haired Mi Rae in the latest BTS photos above from Marry Him If You Dare. This might be one of the last times to see this hotly debated hairstyle. Ladies and gents, this past weekend excited fans in Hongdae spotted Yoon Eun Hye and Lee Dong Gun filming a date scene on the streets of … Continue reading →
There is actually a very intriguing spoiler about the upcoming episode of Heirs/The Inheritors that got me excited all of a sudden. I always wanted to give Kim Eun Seok the benefit of the doubt that she mapped out her entire story far in advance and knew what she was doing. She wasn’t biting off more than she can chew, … Continue reading →
I don’t know if Heirs/The Inheritors needed a literal fist fight to jump start the energy levels, but it sure went a long way in doing that. There is no more intensity to milk in all the stare down your enemy if there are no further stakes? Tan is right when he says Young Do will never reveal his trump … Continue reading →
The last time I was rabidly in love with a Yoon Eun Hye drama was way back when Lie to Me aired on SBS Mon-Tues, and I remember feeling the incongruity of always wanting Mondays to roll around so I could get another fix. One should never look forward to Mondays, except when a beloved drama is involved. My foot … Continue reading →
I haven’t been mulling over the narrative progression in the first 4 episodes of Heirs/The Inheritors between the weekly episode waits. My uptake for this drama is surprisingly in the moment, and I don’t think there is too much grist to sort through so far. It’s rather straightforward with the characters and conflicts without too much complexity at this point. … Continue reading →
I’m enjoying the chance to watch Heirs/The Inheritors with all the hype over and done with. Those who liked it can keep watching, those who didn’t can move on, and those rubbernecking for the trainwreck will find nothing to gawk over. Despite all its flaws, this one is not a hot mess it could have been. That’s a relief because … Continue reading →
I feel like Two Weeks is so underrated and not just because its ratings are low vis-à-vis the less well-written competition. It’s also underrated because it’s that rare beast viewers have been clamoring for – a drama that has an engaging beginning, a gripping middle, and a satisfying ending – and yet it’s unable to keep viewer’s attention long enough … Continue reading →
Oh man, what is this? Don’t be spinning me round and round, drama! The written preview for episode 15 of Who Are You is out and I’m simultaneously sniggering and sighing. This drama can re-name itself more aptly Who is In a Coma, because looks like Gun Woo is going to get a taste of the sleep medicine. Though for … Continue reading →
The wonderfully gripping Two Weeks continues to roll right along and the good guys are starting to line up behind Jang Tae San rather than merely trying to capture him. Jae Kyung and Seung Woo know he’s knee deep in a even bigger criminal matter, while In Hye finally clear up her misunderstanding of why Tae San cruelly dumped her … Continue reading →
I can’t quite wrap my mind around how much I love watching Who Are You vis-a-vis how good it is. It’s not very good but its a very easy and enjoyable watch, with the emotional threads nicely developed whether its the friendship and partnership between Si On and Gun Woo and definitely the relationship between Si On and Hyun Joon … Continue reading →
