Episodes 27 and 28 are not for the faint hearted, but all of a sudden this drama is not only back on track but has ratcheted up a notch! Dr Psycho might be in for a pleasant surprise. Full steam ahead

Just so beautiful. What more can I say.

This is one of those stories you have to watch and make up your own mind on whether to like it or not. It is beautifully filmed. There is very good acting going on and there are some wonderful characters aka Sky Lord and Sword Saint. Then there is Sa Mo and Jin Ju. For me the older love story between Sword Saint and Ga Ok resonated very strongly. The younger romantic elements - hmmm. The palace politics - very ordinary. The writing itself - strong initially, then flip flops and runs out of steam. The theme of friendship is a very strong element. I’m sure many will appreciate Baek Dong Su and Yeo Un and their friendship as a mirror of Sword Saint and Sky Lord i.e. the philosophy of make your own destiny vs believing in adhering to your fate (not escaping your destiny or what others tell you). If you have the time, take a look.

The first four episodes set the scene quite well in the end, and there is a lot going on (almost too much). I like the premise so far - healthy house/healthy life etc. Ji Woon is not too prickly (compared to some of Suk Jin’s other roles - lol) and I think Da Yeong’s character is a nice touch - someone with potential just bogged down by life (as it would seem with her other future housemates). Ji Woon is clearly “a man for all seasons”. Your House Helper might just rise above some other shows at there at the moment.

Team Communication Day - lol!

And I hope they make it as uncomfortable as possible - lol!

At the end of episode 24 and we have Stella turning in a Stellar performance! Stephanie Lee seems to be really enjoying her role. Also we are starting to see more of the human side to our beloved Dr Psycho - in particular when Lt Lee records “thanks” and keeps playing it back to him and says he will make it his ringtone - I found it a very funny moment.

I think with episodes 13 - 16, Are You Human Too has finally hit its straps. Essentially, it’s due to how their love story has unfolded during these episodes. So Bong’s expressions and actions have been priceless and I have liked the way Nam Shin III has stepped in and defended her (this seems much more natural). I thought the picture of her in the wedding dress and the later pictures by the pool side were really nice touches. Perhaps they will eventually end up together in the Czech Republic, but I would be happy enough if Nam Shin III gets to walk away and leave the human mess behind.

What I really like about this drama is it’s naturalness and flow. And yes, it’s well made and very funny

What a nice movie. It delivers on all its elements. It’s one of the few stories that actually invests “time” in a relationship (I really enjoyed the amount of time given to the ending). Make sure you watch through the credits.

Overall Miss Sherlock is very good and has its points of difference. There is good acting throughout and interesting stories - a gentle lead in to what could be further series. I thought episodes 7 and 8 were a highlight (in keeping with Sherlock mythology) and a good lead into what must surely be season two.

Make sure you have a look at The Pink Romance Special put out by KBS re Shall We Live Together. It gives further insights on the show and has excellent interviews with the actors.

A good action “rom com”, if there is such a thing. Overall this is a well put together movie, with a tight script and acting that highlights growing friendships and relationships including a blossoming romance. 8/10

Just finished and I have to say - Fabulous. There are some great moments throughout and it’s perhaps the most satisfying of this type of Royal romance storyline. Our leads, as always - terrific. And a special mention for Princess Kate. Enjoy ????

I think episode 8 well and truly makes up for episode 7. The story could almost end there!

I struggled somewhat with episode 7. It was like things had gone off the boil and I found I didn’t like where Yeong Joon’s character was heading (even the secondary characters were starting to lose their appeal). Then in the last seven minutes Secretary Kim found its feet again (As I said much, much earlier, this is the side of Yeong Joon that we need to see more of). I’m looking forward to episode 8.

My thoughts exactly!

A great love story. At 85 hourly episodes, it is a long drama. However, I found myself being drawn in over and over again. Perhaps there were too many other story lines, but they all did serve a purpose. So, if you have the time, have a look. It’s still better than a lot of other dramas out there.

I found episode 12 far from convincing as it is totally at odds with the story leading up to episode 11, which is a shame. It’s almost like a retrofit regarding Cha Moon Sook’s cleverness in terms of enticing our hero to Kiseong to deal with Ahn Oh Joo.

You raise a really good point - have they in fact broken up? Perhaps not, but whatever they had has dissolved ever so quickly and may be a natural dissolution of the relationship. It just seems at odds to me with what they had before. The distance that Sang Pil tried to create from Jae Yi didn’t ring true for me as the catalyst for her doubts or concerns.

It is natural for a mother to be concerned for her daughter. It is also disappointing that Jae Yi has lost her trust in Sang Pil. I think with these two plot points, the writers were trying to show that emotion will triumph over reason (which is often true). However, Jae Yi has shown time and again, despite her emotional turmoil, she has this marvellous pragmatic streak to put emotion aside and look at the facts (even when there aren’t any apparent at that point in time). In other words she would wait for Sang Pil to provide an explanation. But, now we have an even stronger emotional trigger and complication regarding her mum’s disappearance and so she can’t wait.

My only other way out thought is Jae Yi is somehow now playing her own clever game and is not keeping Sang Pil in the loop on purpose.
