It’s no secret that the recent episodes of Man of Honor left me underwhelmed, but perhaps my excitement over unexpectedly loving this drama so much rendered my expectations too high. I’ll take a wait-and-see approach and hope the story revs up this week and starts moving some substantive headway in some plot threads, if not all. I know the writer … Continue reading →
Hey! I’ve gotten very few entitled and whiny comments about why the Man of Honor episode 12 recap isn’t up yet. Probably cuz not many people are following this drama, but I like to think folks are getting more polite and thoughtful as a general rule. I was traveling all day, and then had to go dining and boozing (so … Continue reading →
I’m feeling a tiny bit of Man of Honor plot fatigue setting in. I think the drama needs a game-changing moment right now to kick start which has been solid plot foundation that has been decreasing in intensity for me. We’re eleven episodes in and the gang is still trying to pass only the second stage of the test to … Continue reading →
I have a feeling Jae In’s real identity will be out soon and she’ll get reunited with her mom. Thus clearing up her fauxcest relationship with Young Kwang. I hope so, because I would hate for this drama to drag. I think there is so much potential and conflict aside from her hidden identity that I want to see them … Continue reading →
There are many threads running through Man of Honor, but the drama manages to keep it’s steady rhythm and clear focus. It doesn’t aim to be realistic, deep, or thought-provoking, but it does what it set out to do confidently and that’s a real pleasure to see. I reckon Jae In and Young Kwang are going to encounter an obstacle … Continue reading →
At this point, I can only say that Man of Honor is a bibimbap of awesome. I just love it to pieces, finding so immensely satisfying the relationship between Young Kwang and Jae In, the mystery and intrigue being revealed little by little, and all the fractured souls finding their way to where they ought to go. Episode 9 had … Continue reading →
Oh holy heck yes! Man of Honor is rolling along at just the right speed for me, and I get the feeling the production knows the overarching story it wants to tell without throwing in everything but the kitchen sink sometime down the line. I’m thrilled that the drama appears to not shy away from Young Kwang and Jae In’s … Continue reading →
You all know I’m loving Man of Honor, but that love is primarily caused by adoring the two lead characters plus really enjoying the snappy execution that makes every episode appear to just fly by. The ratings for MoH is nearing the mid-teens, but I’m not certain anymore whether this drama will ever be a bona fide hit and break … Continue reading →
At 24-episodes, Man of Honor is that type of drama where the story can be revealed at a more measured pace like an even longer weekend drama, but without the ancillary filler material either. The dialogue still errs on the side of scripted, but thankfully doesn’t cross the line into self-aware. We’re running parallel with the story reveals, rather than … Continue reading →
Yet another satisfying episode of Man of Honor, propelling our leads into direct competition and interaction with each other, all the while the wheels the fate continue to spin, revealing more people are in the know about all the secrets and lies. Now that the story has settled into its groove, I realize that I really wouldn’t like it nearly … Continue reading →
Man of Honor really tries my patience, doling out the story at its own pace regardless of what I may want. I’m not griping as much as I’m just whining because I really want to see more Young Kwang and Jae In adorableness. Watching the three leads finally interacting on a more consistent basis makes for great conflict and plot … Continue reading →
I’m glad that the plot of Man of Honor is finally headed towards Geodae, the company formerly belonging to Jae In’s deceased father and stolen by In Woo’s shady daddy. The baseball stuff was adorable, but it clearly was a stand-in for the real battle to come between Young Kwang and In Woo. Jae In is so clearly going to … Continue reading →
Episode 6 of Man of Honor was like opening of prize box of delicious K-drama treats. More entanglements are revealed between characters while the baseball motif is put on the backburner as the characters turn to the corporate world to settle their claims and make their marks. The drama remains delightfully charming in parts while tension-laden in others, but balancing … Continue reading →
