Man, Spy Myung Wol has gone off the deep end. Even more than I thought possible or ought to. I feel like in the rush towards building up melodrama plot developments to set up an intense ending, thereby completely shucking the original tone and tenor of the drama (wacky spy antics with a cute rom-com core), the story is making … Continue reading →
Do you want giddy spoilers for episode 8 of Protect the Boss? When have I not delivered on the spoilers, right? So don’t click unless you want to start squealing right now. What I love about PTB is the ability to take ALL the stereotypical K-drama characters and make them feel unique and loveable. Even the two scheming moms are … Continue reading →
I’d be lying if I said I liked love triangles in dramas. A good love triangle is very hard to do, which requires forcing the viewer to have a hard time picking between two equally viable choices. So most dramas with love triangles end up being a lopsided three legged stool. I have no clue if Protect the Boss has … Continue reading →
What’s a North Korean spy going to do when she’s torn between duty and love? I really wish I didn’t board the good ship Choi Ryu because it would be deliciously juicy to angst over a Hallyu star who put his career on the line for a nobody only to discover she’s been scheming him since the very beginning. And … Continue reading →
One of the things I love about Protect the Boss (and there are too many things to list) is that the characters all react to situations in such honest ways. What drives some drama narrative is when characters deny or repress their feelings so we can have the requisite misunderstandings and plot can get dragged out. In PTB, people cry, … Continue reading →
This is Koala’s left hand posting. Her right hand is still on vacation and refuses to participate. But both her left and right eye happily viewed this preview for episode 12 of Spy Myung Wol and was mildly amused. Looks like all the hubhub has finally died down outside of the drama, while the story itself appears to have taken … Continue reading →
Let’s keep this comments section just about discussing the drama Spy Myung Wol, and not the drama surrounding Spy Myung Wol, okay? The written preview for episode 12 confirms that the story will go forward from where Kang Woo’s big declaration left off. I think this upcoming episode will be tons of fun for shippers of the OTP, because it’s … Continue reading →
Just popping in to drop the written preview for Protect the Boss episode 6. I know everyone has the Ji Heon face on just dying to hear about what happened in episode 5. I can confirm that it’s a doozy. This drama goes so fast it’s almost giving me motion sickness. In a good way, of course.
Continue reading →With all the Spy Myung Wol craziness going on in dramaland, it’s easy to forget there are like 10 other K-dramas airing right now, some of which are wonderfully sane productions that are delightful to watch. My case in point is Protect the Boss, which brings me such immediate satisfaction when I watch an episode. The written preview for episode … Continue reading →
It’s the grand finale of Drunken to Love You this weekend, and I for one am absolutely thrilled (and going to break out the bubbly at home when I watch it). The last two episodes reinvigorated my passion for this drama, which had mellowed in the past few weeks, but has been revived just in time to celebrate four months of a great drama … Continue reading →
The written preview for episode 11 of Spy Myung Wol definitively answers the question about whether we are getting some actual forward movement from the OTP, as opposed to the one step forward two steps back we’ve been subjected to for pretty much the entire run of the drama so far. Part of me actually thinks the drama should just … Continue reading →
I really appreciate all the thoughtful and considerate responses to my predicament about dropping my Spy Myung Wol recaps. The last time I considered dropping a recap (for 49 Days), people started insulting my taste in dramas and being generally very rude. Thank you Spy-ers for being very cool about it. As such, I am definitely not going to recap … Continue reading →
I gave the written preview for episode 9 of Spy Myung Wol the benefit of the doubt. I expressed reservations with the plot continuing to veer towards insanity, but I still desperately want this drama to be good and remain wacky but intriguing. But it’s current direction really may not be my cup of tea. I didn’t find the preview … Continue reading →
