It was worth watching the last two episodes alone just for the campaign supporters dance routines...

I have to say at the halfway point, Inspector Jo has become my favourite watch at the moment. The last two episodes were fabulous with entertaining and clever misdirection along with wonderful interactions (especially our secondary couple) and perfectly played takedowns.

Despite my misgivings, I watched the final episode. It was a fitting conclusion and made up for some of my disappointment with the more recent episodes. Nana continued to impress and the others continued strongly. What this drama could have been :)

I enjoy even those little moments like when Si Tu Mo says to Gu Wei Yi “take your medicine” and he does without question, or when she tries to listen in on his conversations. Even when they are at cross purposes, they seem to work things through. The bandaid on Circle was a nice touch. Yes, Fu Pei is a waste of space, but hopefully he has a meaningful relationship with Si Tu Mo’s friend.

At the end of Ep 10 and I can still say I am enjoying From Survivor to Healer very much. Things are unfolding at a nice pace. Even though Chen Yi Fan seems a bit over the top at times, he has a pleasant side to him and I’m sure his idiocy will disappear at some point. It’s nice to watch a drama without the male leads being obnoxious or nasty towards the female lead. It’s also nice for there to be enough space for Yan Shun Ren and Sun Shu to reconnect.

I have to agree totally here. I’m even at the point of not bothering with the final episode. Another example of good acting wasted on a fizz out script.

Enjoy the ride because this show is a blast!

All 151 episodes completed. I can’t speak highly enough of Manpuku. A classy show from the start to the finish.

I really like what you had to say here. My sentiments exactly re a timeline reset and it was a great cast wasted in the end. We had such an interesting premise happening that included a very special relationship between our lead pair, along with other relationships/friendships that were quite different and enjoyable to watch. It’s seems implausible to me that HSJ didn’t have more fire power earlier on as a shaman. The story was building up that way, then it changed so dramatically. Anyway, Possessed is proof that keeping your fingers crossed when watching a show and hoping for a better outcome just doesn’t work :)

Eps 13 & 14 were hysterical. The interaction between KMY and PHJ in ep 13 was flawless

I thought the latest episode was quite good. With Se Hyun, he has gotten the bad end of the stick, reinforced by Ms Hong’s “Mommy Dearest” behaviour (I quite like how well BEH has played this role). However, I get the feeling his final scheme will be quite self centred.

To me the older actors steal the show. Some of the comic elements by them are so well done. SoYoo’s part continues to be quite solid and I like how throughout the series she has addressed issues head on. She has a lot to give, but won’t let fools take advantage of this. As for Seo Joon, it’s hard to see a positive outcome with 16 episodes remaining, but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

For a daily show, despite my frustrations at times, I have rated Gangnam Scandal: 8.5/10.

I think this show is very good. The summary doesn’t really do it justice. The cases are quite interesting and the story of our leads and other characters is woven in between these quite well.

There is also at the moment If I Can Love You So, which I think is very good. The interaction between the two leads is something rarely seen in any drama. Then if you want something that is a real delight have a look at Put Your Head On My Shoulder.

It was hard watching and tragic to boot. Let’s hope that somehow there is some level of reset once the villain is destroyed and those that have passed come back to life. I know I’m asking a bit much for a Kdrama to do this, but our wonderful cast need some sort of happy closure

Well, I have enjoyed the early episodes. It could have been gloomy. That hasn’t been the case at all. There is a nice bounce between our two leads.

Na Yi Je, Na Yi Je, Na Yi Je...

I liked the first episode. I thought the treatment method using the baseball bat was a bit extreme, but the rest of the story seemed interesting :)

I kept my fingers crossed the whole way through episode 13! I hope HSJ’s mother can lend some spiritual power in the next episode

It’s a show that gets better and better. Like loko said, it must be to do with how the subtitles were initially

Wow - 12 episodes to go. One of the best shows ever!

I do find it it interesting how these shows treat this issue. In Australia, such a situation is treated as assault. Even if you forgive your assailant the matter still goes to court and is prosecuted on behalf of the community because it’s a criminal (serious) offence. Any remorse is taken into account, but you will still be penalised.

In SK, from what I can see, there are laws around violence, but would appear to get lost in the whole “I will sue you for libel/defamation” defense we often see played out in dramas. It seems to be a country that is still struggling with how to deal with the more serious crimes (as the incident rate is quite low). My Private Life didn’t show us what happens next after the forgiveness scene with the perpetrators. Earlier, the arresting officer did say they would spend the night in the lock-up. However, this is far from satisfactory as an outcome. A post script scene with them in court would have been a good way to close out the matter.
