These two give me back a little bit of faith in the celebrity marriage, and really in the idea of marriage as support and compromise. Ji Sung has been busy lately, and I mean real busy what with playing 7 different characters in the currently airing Kill Me Heal Me. A live-filmed K-drama is basically 3 months of living on the … Continue reading →
It’s much more fun watching a drama that’s got some buzz, there’s more ancillary developments that add more flavor to the experience beyond just watching the story unfold onscreen. The news last week that Ji Sung caused a run on Hera brand tip tint in a specific pink color that one of his alter ego personalities sported in the drama … Continue reading →
Turns out the drama Hyde, Jekyll, Me is nothing like the story of the webtoon Dr. Jekyll Is Mr. Hyde even though it was licensed from that work. Begs the question of why bother, or if it was just to license the concept only without running afoul of copyright laws, then who in their right mind at SBS gave the … Continue reading →
Leave it to Ji Sung to keep garnering positive buzz for his performance thus far in the MBC Wed-Thurs drama Kill Me Heal Me. It’s the current ratings leader even if the ratings are still low double digits as is the general ratings landscape for all the weekday prime time dramas. What marketers love isn’t just ratings but buzz, which … Continue reading →
I’m genuinely impressed and happy for the much deserved success of Kill Me Heal Me. The drama has flaws aplenty but overall is so entertaining and interesting to watch. Most of the success lays with Ji Sung convincingly playing 7 different characters, getting some writing help with the comedic and comic book presentation of the DID medical condition with underlying … Continue reading →
As of January 2015, the news-making discussion of how many times a K-drama has been viewed in a Chinese online streaming site or how much the licensed airing rights per episode sold for has come to a foreseeable end. Thanks to the new SARFT regulations that all overseas shows shown on Chinese streaming sites must (1) be completed airing, (2) … Continue reading →
Highly anticipated (by me at least) Hyde, Jekyll, Me arrives today and finally ends my worry about similar themes and crowded competition and whatnot. I’m not going to look gift horses in the mouth so there won’t be any complaints from me about one too many Wed-Thurs K-dramas to follow. I love both Hyde, Jekyll, Me and Kill Me Heal … Continue reading →
Score one for MBC on a little victory. When the bigger probability was complete abject failure, a victory however little is something the network must feel relieved about. Kill Me Heal Me premiered on Wednesday (don’t spoil episode 1 for me, I’ve yet to watch!) continuing the current trend of very few prime time dramas debuting in the double digits. Even … Continue reading →
Tomorrow is the first test for Kill Me Heal Me as it premieres to start off the 2015 K-drama year after a ratings dismal 2014 year for prime time dramas. The toughest competition in Pinocchio heads into the final few episodes which may leave an opening for audiences to migrate over to KMHM for something to pick up after Pinocchio … Continue reading →
Kill Me Heal Me finally arrives this week after a production process akin to that recent news story of a family finding grandpa expired and was just about to bury him when he revived hale and hearty. I’m so ready for the fresh blood infusion so bring it on, 7 personalities and medical ethics boundary crossing and all! The cast … Continue reading →
The first new prime time K-drama out of the gate in 2015 is really starting off on the right foot by tantalizing with so many pretty drama posters. I get the impression that effort has been taken to portray a warm loving mood with Kill Me Heal Me and the results make me want to watch the drama more. That, … Continue reading →
Maybe I’m in a particularly easygoing mood lately, how else to explain why I’m crazy affectionate towards all the promos for Kill Me Heal Me. It’s got that combination of pretty and interesting without trying too hard. All signs pointed to this drama needing to reach high for it’s wild premise of a leading man with 7 different personalities, yet … Continue reading →
It feels like the production of Kill Me Heal Me hit rock bottom when Lee Seung Gi and Lim Ji Yeon pulled out at the last minute, and since then everything has been on the up and up. It’s still a long shot to work, what with the story involving a male lead with 7 different personalities and his romance … Continue reading →
