Another year, another year end review. For me the year end review contextualizes the dramas watched on three levels – its own merits, how it stacks up against its compatriots, and how the year measures up against previous years. If I wanted to add an additional intangible factor, then it would be how happy or frustrating it was for me … Continue reading →
I was wondering if I should do this post next month but I know I’ll get too busy with year end work crunch plus the holiday prep not to mention this year I’m traveling again back to Asia the last two weeks of December. It’s better to start now and I’m sure this will be fun for everyone. I always … Continue reading →
This might be my last recap for I Do I Do since I’m liking it more as a watch than writing about it. This has turned out to be a story without the traditional K-drama hook, when initially I thought it was a story solely about the pregnancy between an older successful woman and a younger professionally-challenged man. IDID doesn’t … Continue reading →
I continue to like I Do I Do, and it continues to be tres mellow and leaves a lingering aftertaste. It stills feels more like a J-dorama than a K-drama, but that’s good in my opinion because I’m in the mood for a slow-paced rom-com that takes time to develop its characters, which is what is happening here. Dr. Mommy … Continue reading →
There are stills floating around that show us I Do I Do clearly filmed the drunken night between Ji An and Tae Kang. I wonder if it’s been held back for a reason, or it was filmed but ultimately not shown for whatever reason. I prefer actually seeing it after we watch Ji An and Tae Kang fall for each … Continue reading →
I like I Do I Do so much. Episode 2 lost a bit of its earlier J-dorama vibe as the drama heads towards a conventional K-drama rom-com direction, but it retains its mellowness that is addicting to watch. This story is low on the hysteria yet manages to capture all the emotional nuances wonderfully. This is clearly the Kim Sun … Continue reading →
I know something is even better than my first impression of it when it beckons me for a rewatch. When I watched episode 1 of I Do I Do again, I liked it even more to the extent I felt compelled to scribble down a recap. Don’t take this as a promise I’m recapping this series, but merely that this … Continue reading →
In yet another round of “Which Drama Wins the Time Slot”, the three new horses took off at a mild trot if the ratings for the first episode are any indication. KBS wins the first round as its Bridal Mask with Joo Won garnered a 12.7% ratings on AGB, following by MBC’s I Do I Do with Kim Sun Ah … Continue reading →
It’s such a shame I’m so put off by all the promotional material for I Do I Do with Kim Sun Ah and Lee Jang Woo. I like the two leads, individually and together they look crackling with chemistry. I’m even in the mood for a rom-com, after going heavy and serious with The King 2 Hearts, plus Summer always … Continue reading →
It looks like Kim Sun Ah‘s I Do I Do might just become an I Don’t I Don’t for me. No, I’m not trying to be the first person to use that clearly lame pun, I genuinely was bowled over by how BAD the first teaser for the drama was. Terrible music, uninteresting interactions, and ridiculousness all over the place. … Continue reading →
