While it’s true that I’m a teensy weensy bit annoyed with last week’s Protect the Boss episodes, it’s not anything that makes me fear for the rest of the drama going forward. I do hope it’s just a blip in an otherwise stellar ensemble family and work drama, one which will be like water under the bridge with me if … Continue reading →
I’m the first to point out a drama’s descent into latter half insanity and/or doldrums, but in the case of Protect the Boss, I think it’s yet early to make that inference. I have the feeling the kooky denizens of Boss-land might just continue to remain subversive and deal with the arising conflict in ways that are different and refreshing, … Continue reading →
Yay, the preview for episode 13 of Protect the Boss is out! This drama manages to make me excited to watch every new episode, even knowing knowing that the stakes are so comparatively normal and no insane plot devices will pop up to freak me out. I see lots of cute couple moments for the OTP now they are actively … Continue reading →
Whenever I watch a preview for Protect the Boss, it gives me this giddy warmth in the pit of my belly, because what I see is always so sincere and sweet, not contrived or plotty. So after everyone got rather upset in the last episode, it’s nice to see that family and affection continue to rule the roost, with people … Continue reading →
I have nothing more to say about Spy Myung Wol. I’m just happy those who are enjoying it are still enjoying it, and the others have moved on to other dramas that speak to them. I’m pretty stunned at how this drama has turned out, and genuinely have no clue how it’s going to resolve everything. That’s the final hook … Continue reading →
Sundays are heating up again for TW-dramas. Drunken to Love You‘s follow up Office Girls is rocketing up in ratings for TTV, premiering above 2 and has already hit 3.5 by the second episode. Joining in the fray in three weeks will be In Time With You with Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen, which will air on FTV once Hayate … Continue reading →
The written preview for episode 16 completely took me by surprise. My jaw dropped, in a good way. If this plot development actually happens, and isn’t just another runaround feint (sadly I think it is), then imma going to give Spy Myung Wol props for having the guts to go for broke at this point. C’mon drama, you can do … Continue reading →
Truth be told, while I was more interested in Poseidon in its first incarnation (with Eric and Kim Kang Woo) than in its resurrected incarnation (with Choi Siwon, Lee Sung Jae, and Lee Shi Young), neither version really captures my interest completely. I think Poseidon, premiering in two weeks on Mon-Tues on KBS, will actually be in a pretty ideal … Continue reading →
Protect the Boss, why are you so perfect? How do you do it? Is the scriptwriter on some special (legal) sauce, cuz I will fly to Korean to procure some for myself. The video preview for episode 9 is out, and I found myself hopping up and down in my chair squirming in delight. Na Yoon crashing with Myung Ran … Continue reading →
The written and video previews for episode 15 of Spy Myung Wol actually interests me, because it appears the story is making significant headway in plot. Rather than repeat the he loves me-he loves me not carousel of angst that has been dragging for the last 8(!) episodes, if the final few episodes have a united in love Kang Woo … Continue reading →
Not all K-drama kisses are created equal. Some just happen, more for fan service than anything, without moving the characters emotional trajectory forward all that much. Consider it a fly-by kiss. Other kisses are of vital importance, the kind that confirm feelings and break down barriers. Will the kiss between Ji Heon and Eun Seol end up like their first kiss, … Continue reading →
I really applaud the actors of Spy Myung Wol for gamely soldiering on to bring this beleaguered drama to a close. It’s not easy working on a low-rated drama, and I’ve never witnessed a drama encounter such degree of behind-the-scenes turmoil. While I find the writing of SMW continuing to get wackier in the circular logic game, at least the … Continue reading →
2011 is turning out to be a banner year for TW-dramas. I’m not kidding, because I thought the previous two years were pretty much crap with the exception of Black & White. Whereas this year has given me three awesome TW-dramas in a row: Sunny Happiness, Drunken to Love You, and Material Queen. But it’s not done yet, because I … Continue reading →
