I almost had an out-of-body experience today, going from bawling my eyes out to cackling like a loony hyena. It’s a credit to a great episode of Best Love (The Greatest Love) that I was immediately able to cease my caterwauling the moment episode 5 started and immediately get swept back up into the laughter and the swooning this drama has … Continue reading →
Best Love continues to get better and better, and my love for it continues to increase bit by bit. This drama always takes me by surprise, and so far nothing has been predictable or dull in terms of plot development. I laugh and swoon within seconds of each emotional twist and turn, and end up with a feeling of contentment.
Continue reading →Wah? WAHHHH? I almost had to look ten times in a row to make sure I wasn’t seeing some sort of hallucination, but indeed, it was real. MBC released the written preview for episode 5 of Best Love already. I just know I am going to have to drink upwards of 5 energy drinks next Wed-Thurs just to get through … Continue reading →
Best Love (The Greatest Love) is a shining example of what I keep saying about rom-coms. The basic premise is always the same, all the elements are recycled in various iterations, and the end result is a foregone conclusion. The only way to create a memorable and engaging rom-com is to understand the inherent limitations and use it to your … Continue reading →
Today was a veritable banquet of amazing drama offerings from both Wed-Thurs dramas I am recapping. While 49 Days hit another high in knocking my socks off, that wasn’t the reason I recapped it first, because episode 3 of Best Love (The Greatest Love) was as good if not better than its counterpart. My 49 Days download was faster, so … Continue reading →
I like that the written previews for Best Love are so simple and slim-pickings in terms of spoilers. BL feels like the best kind of situational comedy mixed with cute parody, and it’s all about the delivery which brings the conversations and moments to life. Of course, once the drama veers into emotional intense territory I’m sure I’ll want detailed … Continue reading →
Best Love is so zany not because it forces the laughter on us in a “look at me, aren’t I so clever” way. The humor is pretty standard and somewhat pedestrian, but it’s in the delivery and execution that makes it work. And hidden in all the laughter and goofball antics is a beating sincere heart behind this story. Everyone … Continue reading →
The title of Best Love is a play on the name of heroine Gu Ae Jung. Ae Jung means love – so is Best Love supposed to mean Ae Jung is the best, or that a best kind of love this way comes for the characters? Let’s accept that it’s probably both, because the resident love herself, Ae Jung, is … Continue reading →
I woke up this morning and knew I had better double shot my iced latte so that I can power through a busy day. After I started watching episode 1 of Best Love (also known as The Greatest Love), I realized that I forgot to order a downer shot on the side, because the added caffeine and adrenaline from watching … Continue reading →
MBC presented a nine-minute preview for Best Love at yesterday’s press conference, and I’m here to bring it to you. A fair word of warning – please don’t watch if knowing too much tends to ruin the enjoyment once the episode proper airs. I think this drama has a potential to be brilliant, but the 9 minute preview is very … Continue reading →
It’s here! Okay, more like it’s coming in one week, and we get a sneak peak today! The cast of Best Love held its press conference today and my see-sawing heart took another giant somersault of joy when I saw them all together. I might as well tell you all now – I am only planning to recap one drama … Continue reading →
Are the drama gods trying to kill me? Hot on the heels of the second Lie to Me trailer comes the second Best Love trailer. I suppose the two dramas NOT airing against each other is truly the only respite from two months of drama madness for me.
Continue reading →What to do when there is a lull in goodies? Why, pounce on the littlest nugget like it’s a twelve-course meal from a three-star Michelin restaurant. Best Love released a BTS video that is hardly what I would call spoilery. But it’s cute, and gives us a glimpse of our heroine and her oppa/manager. Whenever I watch any BTS video, … Continue reading →
