Modern Chef and Food in Joseon

First of all, I had very high hopes for this drama. Yoona was great, as chef royal chef Yeon Ji Yeong. She was believable and her acting was so good. The king,Yi Heon, played by Lee Chae Min, on the other hand, was clueless about everything around him, except his revenge and the chef royal chef. He would see his uncle doing bad things and did nothing until the very end of the drama. He yelled at Consort Kang, once, but let her misdeeds go unpunished. The king did not even know that half of the royal guards were changed out for his uncle's on guys. He wanted to kill his grandmother so badly. When it came to his royal chef, the king came on too strong right from the beginning. He had been involved with Consort Kang. Consort Kang and the king's uncle were also involved romantically. The king had such fits of rage and the bad guys knew how to push his buttons. The chef royal chef's sidekick Seo Gil Geum, played by Yoon Seo Ah, was a great character. She only had three days to learn her acting part after getting a call to act in this drama. She was fantastic. When it came down to it, the king killed this drama; he did show up in modern times, to Yeon Ji Yeong's delight, for she had fallen in love with him and missed him dearly. I watched this drama twice. The first time, I belived that the king and Consort Kang were married. I believed that the king was cheating on the consort and wanted to make Ueon Ji Yeong his concubine. I did some research and found out that the king had been married in the past, however, his wife died. I watched the drama again to see how much better it would be without the king being married. He still messed it up. I just did not like the king. I do not have plans to ever watch this drama again.

Boring Man, Lovely Lady

Go Ae Sin (played by Kim Tae Ri) was captivating. She was so beautiful and dangerous. She fell in love with Eugene Choi (played by Lee Byung Hun). Eugene Choi was so boring and seemed lost most of the time. He fell in love with Ae Sin, but you could barely tell if he had any emotions. She learned English to be able to say and write his name, at first. She wrote I Missed You. Ae Sin asked Eugene to write it and he would not. She was so full of life. She even would jump off the third floor balcony of the hotel all the way to the ground. Eugene finally told her that he missed her several episodes later. I believe that he drained her emotionally, because of his robot-like demeanor. Mr. Sunshine was Mr. Boring or Mr. Lifeless. If it was not for Ae Sin, I would have stopped watching this drama around the 5th episode. I will never watch this drama again.

Check in Hanyang Drama

In the beginning, the drama was filled with bad guys. The royal princess seemed like he was going to be a strong character and he seemed to make us believe that he was a great fighter. The princess was jumping over the high walls in the city . Even though, the male lead, Lee Eun, was a main character with first billing overall. He was invisible most of the early parts of the drama, with other characters showing up more. The princess was kind of dull. Hong Deok Su was a strong female main character. She was intelligent, brave and a leader. She was by far the best character / actor. Behind her, the characters were about average to weak. The villains were strong characters and they were really good at being bad. I would have liked if the other main character, Chun Jun Hwa, would have clearly told Hong Deok Su, how he loved her and wanted to be with her. He seemed to beat around the bush, assuming that she knew. I wanted the see Chun Jun Hwa clearly get rejected by her immediately. I did not like the ending. When Lee Eun and Hong Deok Su were kissing, the other two main guys came and messed with them. They stopped kissing and everyone of the four friends chased each other. Oh yeah, Chun Jun Hwa's father did not die in the inn fire; he showed up at their new inn.

Novoland Movie (2024)

I found this movie kind of interesting. The detective was an interesting character and so was the princess. They worked hard to find out the truth and they solved murders and palace schemes very well. There was not love between the princess and her fiancée. He was using her. She really did not want to marry him, because she did not want to give up her freedom and she just wanted to protect her country. The princess and the detective did not get off to a great start together, but they worked it out as time went on. Her and the detective found out that the fiancée, the emperor and the uncle were all evil. The princess was the daughter of the emperor and also related to the uncle. After the princess' fiancée was caught, he jumped off a cliff. The princess' father, the emperor, killed everyone in the room except the princess and the detective. The emperor did threaten his daughter. Another woman that the detective knew as a friend was killed in the movie. Her spirit protected the princess and the detective from the emperor's royal guard; they escaped. In the woods, the princess told the detective that she could not go back to her father, city, life, etc. The detective asked her where she wanted to go. She did not know where to go, so he told her to come with her. The movie ended with anticipation of them getting closer and falling in love.

First Night With the Duke - Fairytale

First Night With the Duke was so much more interesting than I thought it would be. I will say that it was great. Cha Seon Chaek was fantastic and brought fun, intelligence, kindness and beauty to this drama. At times, she could also be a bit naive. When she, a support character in the story, brought her fun and modern cocktails to the drama, people became so interested in her. Prince Gyeong Seong was the king's sword; he killed anyone and everyone on the king's list. He killed without mercy. He started seeing the blood of others on his hands and did not like killing anymore. He met a drunk Cha Seon Chaek who told him that she knew all about him. He did not like killing. He took notice of her and thought she was different than other women and people. She drunkenly kissed him, out of the blue. The next morning she realized that she had slept with him all night. Her dress was lying on the floor next to the bed and the prince was in bed beside her. The prince started having feeling for her, but she was not so sure about him. Well let us skip ahead...danger and love found both Cha Seon Chaek and prince Gyeong Seong. Cha Seon Chaek was almost murdered several times, but was rescued by the prince each time. This was sort of a fairytale web drama. Cha Seon Chaek became a main character to the ire of other main characters. The rewatch value of this drama is highly recommended.

What A Magnificent Drama

I must say that this drama, Blossoms in Adversity, was excellent. I wish it was 1,000 episode long; it was 40 episodes.. Do not watch it a compare it to modern day and what dramas we have seen before. Jus tsit back and watch it. The young lady protagonist is fantastic. She is strong and fearless, yet feminine. The world needs to watch this drama and have hope. The eldest daugther was a loner, but rose to every challenge while being surrounded by people. You can tell that she wanted to just walk away from the responsiblilites thrusted upon her, but she did not. Many people have such overbearing preassures in their lives. Some people fight thru it and other just quit. She had to be tough. She did have a good man that cheered her up, gave her affection and protected her. There ere many kind people and some evil one's too. Just watch the show and enjoy! You will see.
