I can’t say 2013 has been a great year for me on the personal front, and that sentiment extends to the drama offerings I’ve sampled this year. On the upside is a general feeling of acceptance and I don’t mean that in a depressed and resigned way. I rather came away from the year happy with the ups and relieved … Continue reading →
It’s an understatement to describe watching Goddess of Marriage as a chore. With Goddess of Fire as least the snark bubbles up to counter the idiocy onscreen, but GoM isn’t that and falls into the category of drama watching I shall call “The Trudge”. It’s like plowing through high weeds with a machete along on steep hiking trial. I think … Continue reading →
I’m watching (or really casually following along with) three weekend K-dramas for more or less ennui. None of them are really all that good, and the crazy and boring parts are easy to fast forward and keep bopping along. Goddess of Marriage is one of them, and my only reason for checking on that one is Kim Ji Hoon. I … Continue reading →
I think its safe to assume that most people tuning in for the upcoming SBS weekend drama Goddess of Marriage is interested in the main love triangle of Kim Ji Hoon, Nam Sang Mi, and Lee Sang Woo. I don’t blame them, the more I see of the other three couples in the drama the less I’m keen on spending … Continue reading →
We’re less than one week from the premiere of the next SBS weekend drama called Goddess of Marriage and the show has pretty much released all the main stills and teasers that reveal the general gist of what to expect. This is definitely a weekend drama for sure, with a sprawling cast that are all connected in the usual six-degrees … Continue reading →
When I first watched K-dramas I thought each and every single one featured a love triangle. That was way back when, when if memory serves that was indeed the case. Or so it felt that way. Things have evolved since then in many ways, not just with respect to the love triangle, but that too has become something that sometimes … Continue reading →
The upcoming weekend family drama Goddess of Marriage is finally releasing substantive material about its subject matter and tone and I’m getting more and more excited the more I see. The network finally released the script reading stills from last month and its such sprawling cast. This is one of the most fun casts I’ve seen in awhile. Aside from … Continue reading →
We’re two weeks away from the premiere of the next SBS weekend drama called Goddess of Marriage, to follow the almost finished Birth Secret with Sung Yuri. This one will be visually a surprise for me, PD Oh Jin Seok has only directed the daily Miss Ahjumma two years ago, though he was the assistant PD for a bunch of … Continue reading →
It would be an understatement to say I’m wickedly looking forward to the upcoming weekend K-drama Goddess of Marriage. Sure, it sounds just like Can We Get Married? as a bunch of married and single couples probe the institution of marriage in modern Korean culture. But there are plenty of been there-done that concepts but if done right there is … Continue reading →
There will be two goddesses on the air come July, but in totally different eras and worried about totally different things. Moon Geun Young’s sageuk return in Goddess of Fire Jeongi is almost done casting and has already started script reading, garnering lots of attention for the cast and subject matter. Much more low key is the upcoming weekend drama Goddess … Continue reading →
