I’m not a Lee Ji Ah fan but this casting news makes me happy. Lee Ji Ah is reportedly signing on as the female lead of the upcoming Kim Soo Hyun penned weekend drama Thrice Married Woman. She has come a long way as an actress both personally and professionally since she made the biggest debut acting role I’ve ever … Continue reading →
Let me get this out of the way first. I loved this final episode of Me Too, Flower! It wasn’t perfect, not by a long shot, but it was wholly satisfying in the things that mattered and served up a proper and meaningful ending in the truncated time allotted. I loved it so much its helped ease my frustration over … Continue reading →
How fast time flies, since it’s time to say goodbye to yet another drama. As much as the last few episodes of Me Too, Flower! have been unable to tap back into the crackling intensity and great character and story development of the first half of the drama, I find myself really jazzed for the finale. I think I love … Continue reading →
Wow. I can’t describe what I just watched using words that don’t involve expletives. What the hell was all that? Magic voices? The mastermind bike burglar? Hwa Young unraveling but no one forcefully institutionalizing her? Bong Sun remaining steadfast to her “I don’t know why we broke up, but I’m sure it’s a valid reason” illogic? Episode 14 of Me … Continue reading →
This episode of Me Too, Flower! left me strangely unmoved. The interesting writing, great acting, and lovely directing was still all there, but I felt a bit like I was being manipulated to feel something that didn’t need to be felt. With Jae Hee pulling the rug out from under Hwa Young and then smacking her upside the head with … Continue reading →
Oh heyall no! Me Too, Flower! better have some tricks up its sleeve, because the preview for episode 13 pissed me off. The story trajectory appears to be a blend of the angst seen in My Name is Kim Sam Soon crossed with Lie to Me. It can be a feint, or temporary, or necessary to get Jae Hee over … Continue reading →
OMG whut? Seriously drama, you want to go there? Someone give me some blood pressure medicine. What happened to the rich emotional drama with tons of conversations and loads of understanding? Suddenly we’re dealing with lawsuits and a near complete breakdown of trust. Episode 12 of Me Too, Flower! was a hard episode to watch. Hard because I really feel … Continue reading →
I thought my heart had gone into its Winter dormant phase with no dramas to pine over, but Me Too, Flower! proved that it was awake and kicking. While M2F objectively has quite a lot of kinks in its narrative flow, the flaws are smoothed over by having two amazingly written lead characters who are being acted to perfection with … Continue reading →
MBC just wants to keep staying on my shit list, doesn’t it? After being the station responsible for the beginning-to-end mangling of Tamra the Island (no publicity, poor marketing, and then cutting it from 20 episodes down to 16), word has leaked that MBC is considering ending Me Too, Flower! early at 15 episodes. What. The. Fuck. Due to the … Continue reading →
Any of you figure skaters? One of the prettiest moves on the ice is the spin, a symphony of turning mixed with body movement. A spin starts off slowly with a wide body stance going into it, but as the skater picks up momentum the limbs are pulled tighter and tighter, ending with a whirling dervish on ice that finishes … Continue reading →
My resolve not to continue recapping Me Too, Flower! was like an egg meeting the hard surface that was episode 9. The surface was hard because there was so much anger going on, anger stemming from jealousy, betrayal, and disappointment. The look on Jae Hee’s face when he realized that Bong Sun, standing there on the CCTV screen, just found … Continue reading →
Episode 8 of Me Too, Flower! was one of the best episodes of a drama I’ve watched in a long time. Aside from a few bumps, it was simply wonderful. I loved it so much I decided to recap it. Just episode 8, I have no intention of recapping the first seven episodes, or continuing with my recaps of the remaining … Continue reading →
Crow, in the form of Yoon Si Yoon, tastes so delicious. Nomnomnom, please sir, can I have some more? Opinions are just that, fluid and transient, able to change and adapt to new developments. I’ve never feared altering my initial opinions for better or worse, though I may look back and chuckle at myself afterwards. Oh young Padawan, how little … Continue reading →
