So I’ve been holding off posting the written preview for episode 13 of Who Are You until the video preview is released, but it’s literally hours away from airing and still nothing from tvN. Then the official website announced this nugget to chew on – with four episodes left, the production doesn’t want to waste it just on the love … Continue reading →
I can’t say whether more people will check out Scandal: That Very Shocking and Immoral Incident simply because I wrote that I quite liked it. But from the preview and new stills released, I hope more people do because this drama is upping the romance which has been the one element put on the backburner what with all the murder … Continue reading →
As The Blade and Petal wraps up this week, next week KBS presents what feels like an old-fashioned four corner melodrama into the mix. I like the cast so I’m going to check it out Secret, but the sensation that this drama is playing catch up from the get go leaves me worried about its quality. Starring Ji Sung, Hwang … Continue reading →
For all that makes Who Are You just a relatively small scale drama with a hodge-podge of elements from detective mystery, horror, and SciFi, it does such a wonderful job of showing unfathomable disappointment when someone dies coupled with a hope that it won’t be in vain and the living can still find happiness. I’m not a fan of the … Continue reading →
It’s weird how my watching of Two Weeks rather mirrors the tension and excitement of the drama timeline. When it’s on I’m fully immersed and a ball of nerves. But during the break between weeks I’m totally emotionally checked out. Whereas many dramas that I loved while watching live kept my emotions on a tight leash during its entire run. … Continue reading →
Watching Who Are You is one of those rare dramas where I find myself in the minority and enjoying it for what it is. I’m as big a Kim Jae Wook fan as any and his Hyun Joon owns my heart, but I’m really liking Taecyeon presence and role in this drama as well. I don’t see how the two … Continue reading →
I don’t want Lee Jun Ki to hog all the credit for the goodness that is Two Weeks. Yes, he gets the majority of the screen time and carries the burden of all the narrative intensity on his shoulders, but he’s lucky to be surrounded by more than capable and equally talented co-stars. I actually really like Kim So Yeon … Continue reading →
Moon Geun Young is one of my favorite K-actresses, for her acting talent and real life smart and sensible personality. So it pains me to watch her in Goddess of Fire because her titular character is that horrifying combination of stupid and sassy. The directing for this drama is so ham-handed that watching Moon Geun Young act akin to miming … Continue reading →
The heydays of watching tons of dramas all the time are long gone for me, but in its place is a contentment borne from finding just a handful a year that bring me delight. This week started with the end of Cruel City (Heartless City) and will end with the conclusion of Monstar. I’m sad two of my fave dramas … Continue reading →
I seriously can’t get enough of Seol Chan’s shocked-jealous face in Monstar. Yong Jun Hyung is doing such a fantastic job of selling emotionally stunted but growing like a snail Seol Chan. I feel like Monstar has lost a bit of its sizzle heading towards the final stretch. Not a lot, just a tiny bit, and its all due to … Continue reading →
Another Monday, another long countdown to Friday not for the weekend to start but for another episode of Monstar to arrive. I’m seriously nervous about what’ll happen once this drama ends and I don’t get to spend time with the members of Color Bar anymore. Sniffles, they better all be headed to big and better places. Now that the unexpected … Continue reading →
It’s official, Monstar is the first K-drama of 2013 that I am rabid about. Completely and utterly crazy in love with it, I sleep, eat, and worry for my little babies. Episode 8 was so amazing I have no words. Color Bar took a breather now that they are done prepping for their performance showdown with All for One and … Continue reading →
Huzzah, there be some Seol Chan-Se Yi goodness coming up in Monstar episode 8! Finally our Star gets his long awaited duet with the clueless Sheep girl, and unlike her duet with Sun Woo for the music evaluations which was done in public in front of other students, this one will be in the privacy of what looks like a … Continue reading →
