My nearly 3 month long Wed-Thurs date with Lee Seung Gi is over, and zero regrets with the time spent. Unlike some of his stupider drama choices (*cough* Vagabond *cough*) this time tvn drama Mouse was too smart for its own good. It was like a math student who got the answer early on then trying to question and outthink … Continue reading →
I found tvN Wed-Thurs drama Mouse a bit underwhelming last week, it didn’t grab me as the killings were exceedingly brutal but the characters unknown so it doesn’t emotionally connect. The first and second episodes also didn’t segue well, from the OG serial killer now behind bars to new investigations with some bumbling tone thrown in, I wasn’t quite feeling … Continue reading →
Every time there is a Lee Seung Gi drama I’m on pins and needles hoping my boy picked well and doesn’t end up with a narrative stinker. His recently premiered tvN drama Mouse comes with high critical pedigree from the screenwriter of God’s Gift: 14 Days and Black and a lofty premise not just on catching a serial killer but … Continue reading →
Upcoming tvN drama Mouse is certainly marching in a no-nonsense way into its early March premiere, with none of the shiny glitzy promos and an overwhelming sense of dread. The first drama poster was pretty plain featuring male leads Lee Seung Gi and Lee Hee Joon staring at something with a police gaze and now the individual posters take the … Continue reading →
The new preview for tvN thriller detective mystery Mouse looks heck dark, like plenty of serial killing in the dark rainy night type of dark. Starring Lee Seung Gi, Lee Hee Joon, Park Joo Hyun, and Kyung Soo Jin, the drama posits the possibility that a serial killer gene can be detected in utero and what to do with that … Continue reading →
It’s finale weekend and I’m going to be sad there is no more Train to board next weekend. The OCN drama ended with a sweet and to the point 12-episodes of tightly written narrative, the sci-fi parallel worlds bit never really made sense beyond being a conceit since the story was so small in scale. Like all parallel worlds it … Continue reading →
My dates with OCN dramas tends to happen only when said drama stars one of my baes. For example, the scary The Guest was a can’t miss for me thanks to Kim Jae Wook, and now I’m onboard the runaway Train for my Yoon Shi Yoon love. It’s so worth it and the drama is so well written (in terms … Continue reading →
Thanks to the addicting and well-drafted parallel worlds thriller drama Train, I’m over my Kyung Soo Jin allergy and reinvigorated with my Yoon Shi Yoon love. The drama is tightly compacted in its mythology about the parallel worlds and probably falls apart in wider focus but it does so well in picking a central focus with Yoon Shi Yoon’s Do … Continue reading →
This past weekend it was a two-fer for me, with an emotional meal on the new episodes of It’s Okay to Not be Okay and then snacking as late night treat the OCN mystery parallel worlds drama Train. The first two episodes got 1.367% and 1.443% for the cable network best known for procedurals and gritty fare and Train continues … Continue reading →
This weekend the train leaves the station and let’s get see what round two of the parallel worlds K-drama executes the tricky subject matter. OCN thriller Train takes over the Sat-Sun time slot this Saturday with Yoon Shi Yoon and Kyung Soo Jin do double duty as they investigate a serial killer through two different worlds. Yoon Shi Yoon is … Continue reading →
I’m looking forward to OCN drama Train more and more, a combination of wondering if another drama can do the parallel worlds concept better and because all the promos so far have been fantastic. The latest are three official drama posters with leads Yoon Shi Yoon and Kyung Soo Jin in motion in both of their parallel world versions and … Continue reading →
Blue hued and red hued visuals are going to be the parallel universe identifiers in upcoming OCN murder mystery thriller Train. Male lead Yoon Shi Yoon is a detective in one world and loses his beloved and afterwards crosses over into a parallel world to solve her murder. I hope his world hopping is more better thought out than baddie … Continue reading →
Well, the first parallel worlds drama of 2020 has been mostly a dud, though it could revive and redeem itself with the final few episodes. It’s time to look ahead and the second such themed drama arrives in July on cable network OCN with Train. It was originally going to star Kim Jae Wook but he passed so the leading … Continue reading →
