I thought the first four episodes were absolutely terrific. Nemesis, the name in the series title is taken from one of the Miss Marple books, but is not the story itself. The episodes so far have the flavour and the bits and pieces found within the various Miss Marple stories and characters. The casting is spot on. I like the fact that Miss Ma is a younger version of Miss Marple. Even the mood or ambience of the village and the characters within are as they should be.

I even read somewhere there might be two seasons! Yes, I’m an Agatha Christie fan.

Well, I really enjoyed episode 4. It was genuinely funny in some parts and overall a nice depiction of the lead pair’s relationship. It was like a totally different show. I like Yeong Jae as a character. However, Joon Yeong for me is little bit flat or underwhelming (however, there are glimpses of a really good character there), And, I like the sister. So, I will keep going for now.

Thank you for such a great list. As a result I have now blown out my planned to watch list after downsizing it recently :) Currently watching from your list:

Terius
Where Stars Land (Fox Bride Star)
The Beauty Inside
The Third Charm

It’s funny. I found the first two episodes of TTC were 50/50 for me. However, ep 3 is much better. For me, TBI and WSL are so much better. Then there is Terius (great fun) and Devilish Joy (delightful). So, I guess it just comes down to personal taste with some shows.

Overall, LAFH is good fun and so it’s not a bad way to spend some time watching it in between other things.

You are on the money with the neighbourhood group re the next lot of episodes. The twins are great and he continues to find really good ways to deal with them. He treats them with kindness and respect.

For me, YSY continues to be far from convincing as a character. I liked his flashback sequence though. As for CSH, I can see what you are saying re his potential as a villain in the making - that could be quite intriguing. In short, I like the female cast and characters, but not the male counterparts so much. I really enjoy medical dramas, but I’m not enjoying the story at this point re TLOH.

If it wasn’t for ClaudiaKdramaFan’s ongoing enthusiastic comments, I wouldn’t have looked at Devilish Joy because the synopsis doesn’t do this wonderful drama justice. At the end of episode ten, all I can say is what a great lead couple, the second leads are charming together and the story is definitely one you just go with it.

I found after such a good cliff hanger at the end of episode 4, that episodes 5 & 6 were a bit up and down for me. I like Soo Yeon as a character. However, I’m not so sure about Tae Soo and Dr Choi. I guess I will need to watching :-)

She is one of the few actors (of any country) that has that “instant presence” and has an excellent range of skills as well. I think I gave away Temperature of Love around the halfway mark. I really wanted it to be so much better than what it was.

Yes, I’m still in two minds about this one

I think it is very good. Not only that, this is so much better than the last two things Hyun Jin was in. She was fantastic in Teacher Kim.

Seo Do Jerk!

It’s interesting, because in a sense, dramas do get this type of incident right. Having seen a number of rollovers (and experienced one coming towards me) it is like slow motion and you do stop in your tracks because your brain is trying to process and understand what’s going on. The hard part is once you have realised what just happened to then see if everyone is okay.

At the halfway point, I like the fact that 100 Days is a slow burn, romcom. For me, the balance is right re humour, romance and seriousness, and our lead pair are fabulous.

Bravo Seo Hyun Jin!

I’m in two minds about BP. There is nothing wrong with the performances: good characters and JH is a natural in the part. It was a hoot to start with, some honesty was explored and then some of the “blame the other person” elements kicked in. It has potential.

A read a synopsis elsewhere that is perhaps a bit more accurate re Soo Yeon and what his back story is and also some of the other characters..

All in all, I thought Where Stars Land had a great start. It delivered on elements that quite a few other dramas of late have failed to do. It has good pace and interactions, heroic elements, mystery, stars in their eyes moments and today “my life isn’t going according to plan” moments. I think the OTP has a lot of potential re I want to live my life quietly which is going to be upended non stop by you know who!

Quietly enjoying AOL at the 25% mark after getting through the first couple of episodes. So, I’m glad I have persisted with this one.

A fabulous article. It was a real pleasure to read such a well written and executed piece. In short, I quite enjoyed TPWY. Personally, I liked Tiffany’s performance overall and I was very impressed with Xiaotong’s role - a stand out. Yes, Vanness Wu was very good and oozed menace when he needed to. As for Lou Jin, I thought he did well, but perhaps I enjoyed his performance more in My Story for You.
