Year end drama reviews always starts off like a looming chore, telling me to wash the dish one more time even though I’ve washed it thoroughly already. But then I grow to appreciate it, the added step may yield a dirty spot I missed before, or even the chance to slow down and enjoy the process rather than bemoan the … Continue reading →
Being disappointed with the process by which Prime Minister and I wrapped up doesn’t mean I’ve erased all my love for this drama. It probably just downgrades the feeling to like very much, which in the grander scheme of things is pretty hefty praise for it considering the dearth of solid rom-coms in years. I get the tendency to see … Continue reading →
It’s emotionally exhausting watching dramas live. It’s like walking towards something with a leap of faith and no certainty for what awaits at the end. I can handle the weekly waits because patience can be an acquired virtue. What I will never ever be able to reconcile is the feeling of devastating disappointment that guts you like a child at … Continue reading →
I’m fully aware of the writing blips in the last few episodes of Prime Minister and I but I still love this drama to pieces. The return of the first wife was planned from the beginning so it doesn’t feel like railroading, and ultimately Da Jung’s noble idiocy won’t have any lasting repercussions since no one buys her crock of … Continue reading →
Oh boy was this a rough episode of Prime Minister and I. There was some romance but any whiff of comedy went right out the window thanks to Da Jung being so bloody obstinate about breaking up with Yul. It was countered by so much Yul awesomeness that it saved what might otherwise have been a fall off the cliff … Continue reading →
Monday is right around the corner and with it comes the last two episodes of Prime Minister and I. It’s out-and-out my favorite rom-com in the last two years and barring a unprecedented collapse ought to retain that goodwill. Some rom-coms enter the final stretch either just dragging along a conflict with an easy solution or waiting for the OTP … Continue reading →
I quite loved the ending to episode 15 of Prime Minister and I. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a satisfying pull along scene and I was fairly screaming at Yul to drag his runaway errant wife home. The lack of much conversation was even better because nothing needs to be said between them at this point. … Continue reading →
After today’s episode 15 of Prime Minister and I there are only two more episodes left to wrap up the story. Will it end in a moralistic tale of family obligation over personal emotional stakes? Or will the romance that defies conventions in more ways than one be allowed to reach a happy ending? I have full confidence in the … Continue reading →
It’s safe to say that the shit is about to hit the fan in Prime Minister and I. Episode 15 will be a pivotal episode as the two people most affected by Na Young’s not being dead find out the twist in the story, namely my OTP of Da Jung and Yul. If K-dramas haven’t let me down so often … Continue reading →
I wanted the return of Not Dead Na Young in episode 14 of Prime Minister and I to be akin to ripping a band aid off a wound. Fast and furious with a momentarily twinge of a pain. Sadly that did not come to pass, we didn’t get to see her return and then get shipped off in one episode … Continue reading →
Even with the hint of makjang in Prime Minister and I with the reveal that the male lead’s first wife isn’t deader than a doornail like we all thought, I’m still ridiculously pleased with this drama. It’s just my kind of rom-com with funny that doesn’t overstay its welcome, romance that unfolds naturally without too much quippy banter, and a … Continue reading →
Does anyone else think Kwon Yul is reverse aging in Prime Minister and I? I already think Lee Bum Soo is the bees knees but in the last two episodes of PM he’s literally so smexy I wonder how Da Jung can keep her hands off her hubby. Forget giving him time to figure out his feelings, I’d just kiss … Continue reading →
I really want to hug Prime Minister and I like it were the cutest little puppy in the world and I it’s lucky owner. Undeterred by low ratings this drama has continued to chart a true course towards honest falling in love between two people who are both brave and deserving of those syrupy happily ever after dreams in life. … Continue reading →
