Yet another satisfying episode of Heirs/The Inheritors, though not much happened and it did get bogged down in the things least interesting such as Chairman Daddy’s strong arm fully coming down on Won, Tan, and Eun Sang. He’s going to manipulate everything until his entire family fractures, and he will still think he’s doing the right thing. Frankly I don’t … Continue reading →
Just two more episodes left of Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) before this drama puts everyone out of their misery and releases me from any obligation to watch and recap its mind-numbing dreariness. This is a drama for the dead of Winter, when there is nary a green speck outside and the world is cold and dry and … Continue reading →
Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) wants to make me love it again. It knows my weakness for cute stuff and it throws Yoon Eun Hye along with Keroppi and My Melody on my screen to see if I can overlook the lack of bubbling romance. I think if I do forgive MHIYD for the weak middle section, episode … Continue reading →
I breathed a sigh of relief that the fantastic episode 13 of Heirs/The Inheritors did not result in one step forward and two steps back in episode 14. It wasn’t nearly as light and funny as episode 13 felt like a reprieve and time to savor the moment a bit, but all the characters took giant definitive steps forward and … Continue reading →
Best episode of Heirs/The Inheritors EVER! I can’t believe I stuck to this drama for 13-episodes, itself quite a feat of endurance, and am finally rewarded with an action-packed episode that was funny and fast-paced. I’m not kidding, this episode had me laughing out loud so many times I lost count. Stuff happens all over the place in each of … Continue reading →
The was the best episode of Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) to date, followed by the wonderful subway fire episode that brought the OTP past one hurdle only to later come up against a wall. This one showed us that the wall might really be there for a valid reason, but then also confirms that our four leads … Continue reading →
Grahhhhh, Marry Him if You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) continues to be so infuriating. There remains a sliver of hope this thing will all come together soon, which keeps me from breaking up with it, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting to hurl plates at the screen when I watched episode 11. This drama proves that a story cannot be … Continue reading →
This was the most substantive episode of Heirs/The Inheritors to date. It also helped immensely that the protracted staring was kept to a minimum, though sadly there was no commensurate improvement on the kissing front. This was the first time that I saw a smidge of character development on all major fronts, and even if it took 12 episodes that’s … Continue reading →
I feel like watching Heirs is like playing a game of musical chairs or duck-duck-goose, the entire narrative keeps going in circles and chases that have no exit. One thing teen dramas is supposed to have is a surfeit of fun. Because they are young and aren’t tied to adult and real world problems and consequences yet, the narrative allows … Continue reading →
I’ve finally cottoned on to what is so utterly aggravating about Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice). The writing is flawed but it’s not horrendous, with a veritable avalanche of shitty dramas lined up way ahead of it. The acting is solid but marred by frustrating characterizations. But ultimately what’s killing my love for it (and I did love it … Continue reading →
This episode of Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice) was simultaneously better yet more frustrating. I’m back to loving Shin wholeheartedly, he’s a man who isn’t just principled yet emotionally aware, he’s also reflective and capable of change. Mi Rae continues to waffle back and forth between Se Joo and Shin, but this was the episode that showed me … Continue reading →
So I complimented Heirs/The Inheritors for actually having some compelling forward momentum in yesterday’s episode 9, and then episode 10 promptly returned to form and was lackluster all around again. What gives? I am so confused and not in a good way where there is too much to sort there. Everything is so linear in this drama, where people talk … Continue reading →
This was easily the best episode of Heirs/The Inheritors to date. That’s not saying much since the first third have been so underwhelming, and truthfully getting good at episode 9 is much too late. I’m relieved since I’ve decided to stick with it, and it’s getting good in ways that I can finally connect with and get behind. This episode … Continue reading →
