A bit overshadowed in the fantastic episode 5 of Pinocchio where Dal Po and his hyung Jae Myung’s resolve towards vindicating their family tragedy took radically different turns, In Ha’s big confession to Dal Po was really a major game changer though it didn’t play off that way. Sure Dal Po never let slip that he also liked her back, … Continue reading →
Loving Pinocchio is such a reassuring choice. It’s excellent so far without the need to accept qualitative lacking in hopes of the drama getting better down the road. It’s already delivering so I feel less like I’m settling. I’m don’t have a predilection for the dramas from any of the three prime time networks but it looks like SBS will … Continue reading →
I feel myself so close to the precipice when it comes to Pinocchio. My interest and affection for this drama is on the edge of tumbling down the abyss of addiction, a sweet free fall sensation of giddiness and anticipation that hurts so good. The drama is certainly doing everything it can to hook me good and tight. The newly released drama … Continue reading →
Another reason I’m so happy Pinocchio is off to a promising start is to have another potential crack drama to rev up the joint. I love the feeling of loving a drama, all anticipation over new stills and translating written previews, the very essence of a drama fan being able to actually fangirl. It might not last but I still eagerly … Continue reading →
It’s clear following My Lovely Girl from the very beginning that this screenwriter was interested in manufacturing a narrative platform around the world of Korean music entertainment and song producing. I can’t feel anything organic to the story that was either Se Na or Hyun Wook driven, as if she had an urge to share this really lovely tale of … Continue reading →
It’s really nice of KBS to give viewers the fanservice with new spoilery stills featuring my favorite couple in the weekend drama What’s with This Family. The drama firmly passed the 30% ratings mark last week, which is a huge feat in this day and age but not completely unheard of still in the weekend family-friendly time slot. A few … Continue reading →
Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu (Today I Take the Day Off Work) is so so darling. I only wish it had an easier to digest title, it needn’t have English words in it but something shorter might be snappy. Like “Day Off!” or “Double Trouble”, LOL. One wishes we could be Hanae, currently the most enviable leading lady in dramaland as she’s … Continue reading →
I honestly don’t know how I’m going to get through the remaining 5 episodes of My Lovely Girl. There will indeed be five more episodes as SBS has confirmed that the drama is ending on schedule next week but next Wednesday will be broadcasting two episodes back-to-back. I was aghast at the idea of an extension episode to even out … Continue reading →
I’m tempted to send a trans-Pacific holler to the screenwriter for My Lovely Girl and ask the lady if she’s gone mad? Sure she’s written some middle-of-the-road fare like Can We Love, Dr. Champ, and Scent of a Woman, but so far all she has to show for MLG is how utterly ordinary and placid it is. Kind of like … Continue reading →
My Lovely Girl is headed towards it’s finale stretch and still the drama delivers only the feeling of “that’s it?” whenever the end of an episode rolls around. Oddly I can’t pinpoint exactly where things are being dulled down, much like a breadmaker would know which of the ingredients was off so the bread didn’t rise. The idol actors in … Continue reading →
L (or Kim Myung Soo) probably can look far and wide and not find a better drama and/or role to change his image of being a complete and utter suck as an actor. Now he can at least hold his head high for having enough onscreen charisma to overcome the technique deficits. I was already enamored of his blond hair look in … Continue reading →
Oooooh, these previews are actually pretty good and revives my flagging interest in My Secret Hotel. That’s fantastic given there are just two more episodes left and I need to recap the sucker, better end with a bang (literal or figurative, we’ll know next week) than with a whimper. Besides the real murderer(s) being revealed, Sang Hyo better pick a … Continue reading →
I’m so grateful tvN quickly released a preview for episode 11 of My Secret Hotel. It goes a long way in assuring folks that the fat lady hasn’t sung yet and there is still plenty of twists and turns left to determine which smexy hottie wins Sang Hyo’s heart. For all of the deserving knocks on Hae Young being too … Continue reading →
