You won’t miss important parts of the plot by not watching Voice first, as Voice 2 is a completely separate story and case. Episodes 1 and 2 have plenty of snippets re what happened in Voice and how the Golden Time Team operates. So far for me re Voice 2, it is not as chilling or suspenseful as Voice, but that could all be about to change.

This is quite a decent show. There is good mystery, developing romance, some nice characterisation and of course Lee Mi Sook doing what she does best!

This show has far and away exceeded my expectations. The counterpoints regarding the storylines and the characters are well done. Not everyone is what they seem and the other side of their personalities have good depth. We finally have an over the top jerk that you can feel some sympathy for in Soo Ho. I like Ji Hyun - stoic but full of life when she puts the sadness aside. Then there is Min Seok who keeps selling his soul and Chae A Who May be more than she seems. Only time will tell where we will end up...

Yes! Then there is episode 11 (a must see).

A gentle, meandering story, dealing with the ups and downs of life. It’s an easy watch with characters that you will come to care about.

Thins show has a very happy ending. Yes, it is a very romantic story.

The final scene was lovely.

I quite liked Who Wants a Baby? It has a bit of everything including practical tips at the end on raising a baby. So, overall it was good consistent storytelling, good acting and addressed the full range of issues regarding how having a baby (and children in general) impacts on a family, friends and others.

I actually found the premise for the last two episodes to be quite disappointing including the life and death scenario and the very ordinary cliff hangar setting up NSlll. I also found the shareholders meeting and the launch of M-City to be lack lustre in the end. It was all far from convincing. However, the moments re NSlll with So Bong still stacked up.

After four episodes I’m in two minds about Life. It is well made and the acting is very good. I found ep 1 so so, but ep 2 was very compelling, then, eps 3 & 4 didn’t really carry on with the same vigour. A range of interesting subject matter has been introduced along the way, but some of the counter arguments to Seung Hyo’s propositions needed to be much stronger. I guess I will have to watch a few more episodes.

Yes, the brothers are equally intelligent, and could have been great characters. I have dropped this show for now as I began to feel that things regarding the brothers should have unfolded differently and other elements of the story aren’t meshing quite right after such a promising start. I really like the Mum and Ji Hyun.

This is a gem of a satire regarding the Kdrama industry. There are so many wonderful characters and elements. KMM and JRW are so good (and are very good together). CSW turns in a very fine comedic performance and OJE is delightful. It’s worth investing some time to have a look.

I think the last two episodes were a bit of a mess just to get to that final scene of the “face off”. I also think the writers are struggling re how it will end as the preview for the final episodes show that NS ends up with the you know what. If that is the case, then I find that a bit disappointing. I believe you need to see it through to the end as you have been such an advocate for NS and the show.

What I really liked here is that Asimov’s three laws of robotics finally came into play because of the tear:

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

My mistake! It’s fine.

I found episode one was borderline for me. However, episode two really hit its stride. Survival Marriage has a tight script, is well acted and a certain charm. Haru is excellent.

As much as I wanted to like Risky Romance, I couldn’t get past the first two episodes. The concept is a good one and the preview for the coming episodes shows it has promise. I just found the quirkiness wasn’t tight enough. Perhaps I will have another look down the track.

I thought the first episode (eps 1 & 2) was quite good. However, I found 3 & 4 were a bit all over the place and not as tight as it should be (maybe due to being spoilt by the production values re Switch and Lawless Lawyer) and I felt Han Soo Ho’s character took a big backward step - maybe it was intentional, but it was almost too juvenile for a sophisticated situation. The other roles are quite good.

I thought the start was well done. It contrasts nicely with Switch. In other words, the twins have a much different story, both impacting on their Mum in different ways (who is also the mum from Secretary Kim) - one’s aloof (very smart), the other a (not so bright?) trouble maker. There are creepy personalities, sad back stories, some funny elements, lost love and intrigue.

My favourite line: when’s his birthday - oh right, we’re twins! Lol.

It is a very nice show and the characters are a real delight. I rate it quite highly. The romance elements are also in full swing. There are also some very strong themes running underneath it all and treats them in a very sensitive way.
