SBS released a slightly longer preview for tomorrow’s episode 7 of 49 Days. I’m not quite sure if it reveals anything dramatic, but it has more scenes with Han Kang, which always perks me right up. One thing I can say for sure about 49 Days, which is I have no clue what’s going to happen and how OTPs will … Continue reading →
I asked for a game-changer at the end of my recap for episode 6 of 49 Days, and the drama gods may have answered me based on the written preview for episode 7. I do like how ALL the rules in 49 Days are beyond arbitrary and capricious, changing as quickly as the wind. Hey, if you go fantasy, and … Continue reading →
I’m not quite sure what to make of 49 Days episode 6. In fact, six-episodes in, I’m not quite sure what to make of the drama so far. I need to think about this a little bit. With that in mind, here’s the recap proper, and I’ll share my usual after-thoughts later tonight after I have some time to marinate … Continue reading →
49 Days continues to have splotches of interesting moments fraught with tension and/or deeper purpose, but those moments are interspersed here and there without coalescing into a cohesive and fast-paced narrative. Episode 5 gives me a vague feeling of the story and the characters doing and saying things, but it doesn’t translate into a bigger picture. Which really has been an ongoing … Continue reading →
I must say that the sight of a handsome man with a duster in his hand is strangely alluring. I have no clue why Han Kang is cleaning, but if it continues to be relevant to moving the plot forward in 49 Days, then by all means clean away! In all the previews I’ve translated this week, there is not … Continue reading →
I find myself in a lull between dramas when nothing excites me, and 49 Days is the perfect easygoing drama to follow at this time. While I grouse about the things I find lacking about it (so far), it nevertheless has been a breezy watch that leaves me curious about the greater story to be told while never anxiously awaiting … Continue reading →
It looks like 49 Days might take the crown from City Hall as the drama which takes the longest time to get going. And if 49 Days takes off like City Hall did, then I forgive all the earlier mishaps, oh yes I will. Four episodes into 49 Days, and I’m only starting to get curious about the story and finding … Continue reading →
I’m going to treat 49 Days like my personal redemption project. I’m going to will it to keep getting better, and see if that works. If not, then I’m going to be in for a rough few weeks. Episode 3 was better than episode 2, which was better than episode 1, so the trend is happily still on an upward … Continue reading →
Looks like SBS is being extra nice with respect to releasing written previews early. Too bad the previews are very short and not terribly revealing. Boo, I want juicy previews. It’s hard to say how this week’s episodes will steer the drama, but I’m hoping to see more of Yi Kyung’s story. A combination of Nam Gyu Ri’s bad acting … Continue reading →
I’ll be honest and confess that the single best scene in the first two episodes of 49 Days was when Min Ho opened that hotel room door and pulled In Jung inside, and the look of angst they gave each other. Until then, it was all people talking about feelings and emotions in order to set up the story proper, … Continue reading →
Alright, that was much better. Still not good, but the slight uptick gives me hope. Even though I was quite disappointed in episode 1 of 49 Days, and not terribly impressed with episode 2 as well even though it wasn’t nearly as dull, I have this niggling feeling in my gut that this drama is going to keep getting better.
Continue reading →I think I may have just shot myself in the foot when I said that I hoped 49 Days would simply be a good, but not great, drama, so I can be spared from becoming exceedingly addicted to it. Nowhere did I say that I wanted 49 Days to be BAD, but apparently the drama gods are capricious beings who … Continue reading →
Will 49 Days be good? I sure hope so, because I need a K-drama fix and lately not a single drama has been sticking. *pouts* I do like soul-switching stories, and really enjoyed Who Are You? despite the iffy acting and shaky chemistry between the leads. I’m gearing up to watch the first episode now, and the preview for episode … Continue reading →
