It’s strange how My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl) captures my fancy in ways where I’m interested but not personally over invested. As far as love triangles go, I love both legs equally and see no need to play favorites. Yay for more love to go around, right? When Hyun Wook and Se Na are together I bask in their … Continue reading →
L (or Kim Myung Soo) probably can look far and wide and not find a better drama and/or role to change his image of being a complete and utter suck as an actor. Now he can at least hold his head high for having enough onscreen charisma to overcome the technique deficits. I was already enamored of his blond hair look in … Continue reading →
Four out of seven is a majority so it’s only fitting I write about certain members of the K-pop boyband Infinite now that four are currently gracing the airwaves and doing so in a rather enjoyable manner for me. L and Hoya are starring in the SBS primetime Wed-Thurs drama My Lovely Girl while Woohyun and Sungyeol are over on … Continue reading →
It’s a welcome change to follow along with a K-drama that doesn’t progressively get worse like so many out there lately. My Lovely Girl is still nothing to write odes about but it’s done a hard enough feat of getting better and better with each episode. The story, however shallow and awkward in places, continues to come together comfortably. It makes the … Continue reading →
As My Lovely Girl unfolds like a relaxed cat stretching into the middle part of it’s narrative, the rather unimaginative drama title is starting to feel more and more fitting. Se Na really is quite adorable and lovely, a bit of the no longer a girl but not yet a woman awkwardness about her. Her personality may not have been very … Continue reading →
It’s getting harder for My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl)Â to sell the preordained OTP when the narrative starts to tie Se Na and Shi Woo together in mutual success or failure. Sure the rise and fall of AnA hinges on developing new talent to fill the void left by the departure of Infinite Power, and conveniently that option combines Se … Continue reading →
The straightforwardness of My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl) continues to make it the easiest to watch K-drama around, requiring no mental gymnastics nor offering up tons of grist for discussion. It is what it is has never described a drama more aptly. After four episodes of stumbling around finding its footing, all the set up is done and episode 5 sends … Continue reading →
If ever there was a recently premiered SBS K-drama that could use a boost in the cast guesting on the variety show Running Man, then My Lovely Girl would be one of my top picks. Watching it is an entertaining experience partially due to how it confounds me with such glaring awkwardness in regular intervals. A cute scene of Shi … Continue reading →
Just as things appear to be going along swimmingly for the two leads in My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl)Â with some token obstacles thrown their way but nothing they can’t handle, suddenly the shit hits the fans so fast I was definitely blindsided. This development is good and creates much bigger room for the conflict to play out but it … Continue reading →
The drama llama clearly carried My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl) in from the desert oasis where Hallyu romances of yore have gone to pasture and appears to have spawned one very out-of-place offspring. MLG is only bad because it feels so outdated but aside from that it’s genuinely watchable. At least I keep on enjoying it enough to whiz … Continue reading →
Sampling and enjoying My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl) is a guilt-free treat for me. There’s no explanation needed for basking in warm nostalgia as this drama so breezily delivers an entire bags worth of old school K-drama romance tricks with an updated cast of players from when dramas like this were the norm a decade ago. It’s grown out … Continue reading →
It’s too bad that My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl) didn’t premiere on a Thursday because this K-drama fairly screams a perfect fit for Throwback Thursdays. There is absolutely nothing/zero/nada about MLG that hasn’t been done before and probably done better. This is the most benign and unimaginative work to arrive in a long time, yet it has one thing … Continue reading →
With It’s Okay, It’s Love signing off with a satisfying flourish last week, tomorrow SBS welcomes lighter fluffier fare in the Wed-Thurs time slot. The arrival of My Lovely Girl (My Lovable Girl) marks leading man Rain‘s return to television after four years as well as Krystal‘s first turn as a leading lady. I’m cool with their 12 year age … Continue reading →
