Chris Wu in that purple sweater – could anyone concentrate because I sure couldn’t. Any scene with Chris as Terry continues to be so sublime and perfect it defies logic, especially since SETTV is pretty much resorting to repetition to fill time and not make any commitments right now as to how the ending while shake out. It’s doing so to … Continue reading →
Kyaaaa~ Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love is so good that I want to run around asking random people to pinch me in case I’m dreaming. I am actually loving a drama that is qualitatively good, which requires some sort of planetary alignment. Usually I love crap, or there is a good drama that just doesn’t capture my heart. I … Continue reading →
When I watch Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love, I feel like way more episodes have aired then it really has. The character and narrative development have been so action-packed, without feeling rushed or glossed over, in four short weeks I feel like I’ve spent months with these people. Idealistic dreamy Ok Jung is turning smart and decisive before our … Continue reading →
I’m so glad I decided to take a leap of faith and start recapping King Flower. If I didn’t do that, episode 16 would have arrived and I wouldn’t have a regular platform to fully do this episode justice. I screencapped the hell out of this episode and couldn’t decide on which perfect one to use to top the post. … Continue reading →
Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love has no business being this good and driving me crazy with anticipation for more. This drama owns me heart and soul as of this moment. I think 8 episodes is more than enough time for me to take a leap of faith with this little gem now because I have this good feeling the … Continue reading →
With each episode I love Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love just that little bit more. This isn’t a diss on the drama in the slightest. My love is growing steadily because the drama pulls that out of me with its rich tapestry of romance blended beautifully with re-worked political intrigue from that certain time period in Joseon history. It’s … Continue reading →
If Terry and Da Hua are telling each other “fighting” in episode 15 of the increasingly bipolar but still totally addicting King Flower, then who am I to refuse to believe. I believe with my whole heart that SETTV will grow brains, heart, and a pair of balls and steer a drama that has taken on a life of its … Continue reading →
Holy cow bells was this an awesome episode of Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love. I got shivers of the good kind from all angles – the budding romance and the intensifying political and power plays all around. There are no wasted characters or confusing motivations here and every little detail adds to the rich lustre of the narrative world … Continue reading →
As word of mouth spreads about Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love being unexpectedly solid and addicting, ratings in Korea continues to decline at a rate that is disheartening because it brings the specter of re-writes, or god forbid, shortening the drama’s run. It’s way too early to go there but it’s safe to say this drama isn’t likely to … Continue reading →
Never fear, I’m still recapping King Flower. It hasn’t pissed me off to the extent I’m forced to stop recapping for the sake of my sanity (see Miss Rose), though episode 14 was by and large a narrative throwaway. But the preview for episode 15? Holy cow the shit is about to hit the fan, and I for one want … Continue reading →
Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love owns my mind, heart, and soul. This is the trifecta of a drama hitting it out of the park, and as this drama’s ratings continue to dip in Korea, my love for it continues to increase with each exquisite and exceptional new episode. This keeps getting better and better, and right now Lee Soon … Continue reading →
This is the end of the line for me on Gu Family Book recaps. Maybe I’ll continue with the baby recaps if the episodes remain as ludicrous as this one, with characters and plot elements written with the subtlety of a sledgehammer pretending to be carving an ice sculpture. There is a certain amusement in pointing out the absurdity, though … Continue reading →
Chingus, I think I have found my new k-drama crack. And considering it’s NOT the drama I thought would be my crack, I’m alternating between consternation and bewilderment. How did Gu Family Book, my most anticipated drama of this Spring season, end up being so meh? How did Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love, the drama that was on track … Continue reading →
