The squeals continue!

"Seul Bi. Come over to my side."



Wow! Who knew those words could be so endearing and sexy at the same time! Oh, love triangle! (Let's be honest the male angel doesn't have a shot.) This one is shredding me because it's been so long since I've adored the male lead this much! Then the pain of loving the secondary male lead, who is usually always the guy I bat for.



Episode 5 does well with mixing up the relationship of the students and how they interact. Definitely learning who likes who and how all the love ties are crossing over. The drama of Woo Hyun's mother is boiling up. Especially with the looks of Woo Hyun's grandmother being ill. This drama is soooooo happy and cute, I'm not sure how it's going to balance all the potential drama sadness that's coming its way.



Also, actress Kim Sae Ron--AKA Seul Bi--is amazing! She's 14, or 13 in US. I'm tired about hearing about her pouty puff look. That was only in the first maybe 5 minutes of episode one. This girl has range and is fast becoming a favorite actress.

Cutesy goodness.

Just like the MV I saw for one of the OST of this show, the first episode is adorable! The opening sequence and the cut out to "present day" was a little wierd. After that things flow well and I like the world. So far things are simple, Lee Seul Bi is an Angel. She just goes about saving those who shouldn't die yet, and taking those who do. Suddenly she's running into Hwang Sung Yeol. Events land her into a mortal body. Comence cuteness.



If you don't like the sweet taste of this episode I'm pretty sure you won't like the rest. In general I don't like overly cute dramas. However, this one seems to be just the right amount. And I like that Seul Bi is a spit fire of a girl! It's nice to see another strong female lead in a drama, especially one so young.

The tears.

Most touching ghost story yet. What can I say, if there's a cute animal in it I'll probably cry. But really it's another well written ghost story. Oh, and with Nobody tossed on top, how could I not love it.



What's more is that the character development and plot is stepping up. (Maybe not the plot and answers, but it's clearly building.) Joong Won was A-mazing in this episode. While I may have deluded myself with who will win Gong Sil over, it's still so nice swooning between the to male "candy" (oh, I went there!).



Speaking of that build up all of those unanswered questions of what is the uncle really up to, Kang Woo what are you doing?, what really happened with Joong Won's kidnapping and so on. I love how all of these plot lines are building up, but I don't feel like anything is being dragged out. Bravo for great storytelling!

The feels!

This episode does such a great job with making my feelings work overtime. Sure it started off with a kooky marrying-the-dead plot! But it turned out to be a sweet, and of course sad, ghost romance. It was also cool to see another "ghost seeing" person. It's a shame she didn't give more solid advice and guidance, instead of cryptic warnings that are clearly foreshadowing some scary stuff coming up.



Gong Sil is definitely getting some romance. And the development between her and Kang Woo is very fun to watch. It's nice to see the "second man" get some development time. We still don't know exactly what he's up to. But it's clear that it isn't good and he is working for the "enemy".



Joong Won is in that cute stage. Where his cold disposition is slowly cracking for Gong Sil. Guys the feels!!



At this point I love swooning over Gong Sil and Joong Won. And then swooning over Gong Sil and Kang Woo. Both have reasons for them and against them to win Gong Sil. That's what I've always loved about the Hong sisters. They can write good triangle. This is one of the few times where I feel like it could go either way instead of the "main/first man" obviously getting the girl. At this point I'd be happy either way!

Another solid episode.

First up seeing Gong Sil possessed by all those different people, and then an animal, was epic! What a wonderful scene. Gong Sil isn't the only one possessed however! Tae Yi Ryung gets possessed/stalked by some kind of freaky fashion ghost. The best part is how Yi Ryung loses the ghost, and how no one seems to care when the next victim gets possessed!



Great ghost stories aside, this is wonderful character development time for Joo Joong Won. To me what I picked up was not only that his dyslexia is a side effect from his past, but that the mask of greed and aloof front are a form of protection. Betrayal is a hard thing to get over, especially if it's by someone you believed loved you. Not only does it show that those past hurts are why he is the way he is, but it shows a bit more of a tender side to him. One that, despite his desires, he still cares. And can't always ignore things.

This *bleep* just got real!

Oh, this was a great episode. Good enough that I choose to ignore the silliness of all the ghostly happenings connected to Kingdom. Joo Jong stood up for Gong Sil and I loved it. Despite his pig headedness. What's better is that this betrayel ghost story got a good revenge ending. (Though personally I would have liked to see the wife embrace her husband as he "joined" her. *evil smile*) The chemistry between Joo Jong and Gong Sil is building nicely.



What's more is the build up of what happened with Joo Jong and the dark and mysterious Hee Joo is tickling my mind! I need to know the whole thing now!



Even three episodes in The Master's Sun is going strong, has plenty of plot to work with. The best part is that it manages to be dark and funny equally both aspects out nicely.



Kang Woo is still manly man candy at this point. Man candy with shadiness unfolding him in mystery, but still man candy none the less. I hope the show takes time to explore and develop his character. As I've found myself very fond of the actor and want to see him be given a chance to show is stuff. (And I don't just mean a shirtless scene. Though I wouldn't object . . . )



Now just make sure you have time to immediately head into the next episode. Because "this *bleep* just got real" cliffhanger. Was. Amazing.

It's been forever since a drama got me on episode one . . .

OK, maybe not forever. But to be truthful most dramas take any where from 2 to 4 episodes to show their true colors. Which always annoys me. Instant gratification. We all want it, and I hate waiting to know whether something is worth investing.



The Master's Sun Episode 1 swept me off my feet, and then continued to deliver. I'm a fan of Korean ghost stories especially if they feel like this. It feels like Spellbound (AKA Chilling Romance). A perfect blend of horror--not too over the top mind you--and rom-com. But I can tell this is not going to be in-you-face romance. Which is what I like.



Unlike Spellbound, the lead girl does not know how to with ghosts. It isn't revealed yet, but she had an accident at some time and now is only able to see ghosts. It will be interesting to see her overcome her fears and realize that they just want help. Plus, the emotions of helping the ghosts out is beautiful. Whether feeling frustrated from the mistakes the living go right on making. Or how even in death true love endures.



Overall, I'm impressed and in it for the long haul.

Stabilizing . . .

The first episode was one hot mess, and the second is trying to get viewers on some steady ground. Everyone is there from the first episode and it's done well enough that I don't feel too dizzy. There's a lot of new kids in Kim Han Joon's family now and you're going to need to take notes--there's six now! (Or at least I am.)



There are some new kids in Kang Jung Shim's household as well and I'm a little iffy on how they're connected . . . there seems to be some details left out, but that's probably to come.



This episode was great in showing what this series is trying to present and I'm really excited. It's ambitious.



There's a lot of children crying here, so be warned. If you have a hard time remembering names now is the time to start taking notes. Because I have a feeling things might "grow up" again and knowing faces might not be enough.

5.0/10 Average.

"For professional players, e-sports is their . . .faith." Up front. I was judging Tong Yao pretty hard. It was just a silly loss. Boo-hoo! Now. I feel terrible cause I was assuming it was all about the losing. Much like Jian Yang when he rolled up on Tong Yao who was trying to let off her steam, and accidentally drank too much. Yeah, I feel the guilt. It was interesting to see that foolish Ai Jia understood her feelings better. Even though the fool tipped Jian Yang off to where she'd be, and ruining his chances to cozy up to Chen Jin Yang. But he's not foolish enough to not pick up that Tong Yao and Jian Yang are clearly over. For real. And that there's something there with Cheng. Cheng got it more. Though he wasn't quite on the mark just yet. It was interesting that once he realized where her thoughts where going it clicked. He got that her faith was shook, but I don't think he realized it was letting her team mates down that hit her pretty hard. Also . . . Wait, why is K saying esports is unrelated to gender? Of course it is. Female players have to deal with sexism. They deal with stuff that male players don't even have to worry about. The harshness of the pointed comments where very sexist. And the reality is that female fans can be the most brutal. As women are prepared for the dumb things men will say, but it's always shocking what our fellow women can come up with. For me this episode felt slower. Because: enter a brother for Cheng to threaten Tong Yao, and then of course she gets adorably drunk. But by accident. Not to mention it took just a weeeeeee bit to long to realize why Tong Yao was upset. Honestly I wanted more of Chen Jin Yang pumping up her girlfriend! It was interesting seeing how Chen Jin Yang felt about the defeat, thinking it should piss you off and make you fired up for revenge. Sharing how Ai Jia handled it. But let's be real, since I don't game I don't get that feeling. But for something else I could see the intense emotions. One of the fans posting in favor of Smiley was clearly a competitor in another field of sports and understood that it didn't matter. This was training. So I did like the different takes and stuff. It also sets up a huge mountain for Tong Yao to climb up over and over come. Defeat TAT. Preferably while he's playing her character and she crushes him with whatever other one. I hope the next episode brings back our girl's fighting spirit.

Still a great soundtrack!

Really a great soundtrack! I love how important music is to the show as well as to Hye Jung and Ji Hong. Though I will say that now that their relationship has definitely progressed past friendship and I don't care for Hye Jung and Ji Hong's developing romantic feelings for each other.



Ji Hong respects Hye Jung now and I can see the admiration. This early on I feel like he should just be a mentor. It doesn't help that I have a very firm standing on student/teacher relationships. But I feel like it would mean more later on down the line if Ji Hong and Hye Jung's innocent mentor/friendship relationship had the chance to bloom into something when they're both adults.



That said I can't deny that Ji Hong and Hye Jung have some serious chemistry. However, in the short time that Ji Soo has been on screen as Soo Chul (AKA the hot motorcycle dude of my dreams) he's lit a fire in my heart! Hye Jung and Soo Chull have some heat!



I really liked the girl friends aspect that this episode introduced, and as such was very disappointed when it fell apart. It was done in a way that I can understand. Pulling into light what makes real friends, and those who only care for you when you're not succeeding. "Accessory" friends indeed.



It's still in the "13 years ago" story, but I'm still loving it. Clearly the next episode will be part of the flashback, but I'm OK with that the writer is doing an excellent job. I am fully invested in these characters and I'm eager to see what happens next, and what the present story will hold. (Even though I know it's probably not going to have much of Soo Chul in it, or none. Be still my heart.) Yeah, I think this will be my favorite role for Park Shin Hye to date.

I wanted something easy.

When I started up this epsidoe I needed something easy and required zero brain power. (That's the only reason I'd chose The K2 over Moon Lovers!) Sadly it delivered, with an extra helping of boredom.



At least the writer went with the whole "be famous to stay alive" thing that was hinted at in the first episode. Because that would be sloppy not to follow through with that plot thread.



However, while watching the montage of Anna and Je Ha's limited time together something besides just boredom struck me. My thought that Ji Chang Wook is probably not wanting to do anymore action dramas because of the script. After all he's putting such amazing effort into those scenes! The whole battle with Madam's evil elite henchman while Anna is going "public" was so awesome. Sadly Ji Chang Wook is putting soooooooo much effort into it and the writer/director are just feeding off it.



I know I shouldn't be so disappointed in the writing. By now I know that this is a very lazy script and heavy on the boring. Sadly it does bother me how popular this is. People are actually claiming that this is the "best drama ever". I know-I know. Still I can't help but shudder at the thought that this drama will upstage some of the better ones from this year. (The fact that sooooo many of the other poorily conceived and suffered through dramas upstage the good ones.)





That said I thought Je Ha tripping all over the roof was cute. Cool that Madam was all like "Anna has the knife" in regards to Je Ha's loyalty. (No one likes to lose their man candy.) Now let's just have Anna crying less. Please! It was a nice touch when she confided that she thought she killed her mother, but everywhere else the water works could have been cut. Let's explore the other emotions with out crying.



(The rooftop scene I was totally waiting for the cute kitten the entire time!)

Another fun ghost story!

First off I have to say the music for this show is super lively and fun. I found it hilarious that the opening music credits sounds so much like the Sherlock Holmes music with Robert Downey Jr. What really got me is that the opening during the hilarious thief/ghost chase scene was so good! Gets the blood pumping. I have a feeling the OST is going to be awesome. I didn't really like the sound affects as much, but I think it goes with the over the top style of the drama. So I'll probably get used to that.



"A woman's vengeance knows no bounds."



I love the mythology behind Korea and their ghost stories. They all seem to have a certain set of rules. Ghosts stay because they either have a grudge or were wrongfully killed. It seems to be the theme of drama shows to find out. Though it's usually wrongfully killed. The monk seems like an interesting fellow and obviously his fall from grace has something to do with Bong Pal.



I think it's hilarious that Kang Ki Young from Oh My Ghost is in another ghost story! As usual he's adorably insufferable!



To be honest the story and setup is nothing unique, but ghost stories are my drama addiction! It's comfort food for me right now and I was laughing. I love how strong Hyun Ji is! Boy does she kick butt, or more correctly she kicks Bong Pal's butt. ^_-

Man I really want to enjoy this as much as everyone else.

Man I really want to enjoy this as much as everyone else. People are even claiming they'd give up all dramas until 2017 to only watch this one. For me it's lovely to look at and all, I'm definitely obsessed with the OST. It's just the story is just a "meh".



Ji Eun Tak was even more puppy dog like and annoying. He kicks her out and she still comes back to his place to track him down. He ignores her and is basically playing games. Not to mention that she asks all the important questions, but he shuts her down. I don't care for the way Kim Shin treats her. Even if she was disappointed she pushes on, so I really like that about her. I get that Kim Shin is feeling really mixed up right now. He's wanted to die for so long, but now it's here and he really doesn't want to. Despite it all there is good enough to keep him alive. However, I don't think the writing is convincing me of Kim Shin and Ji Eun Tak as a couple. The talk of her not being able to date because he doesn't want her to made me cringe. He's not treating her right enough to be making those claims.



At least Ji Eun Tak made Kim Shin wait for her, and he did! That's progress. The whole thing with the "red carpet" and the peom was lovely. It helped to kind of make the feelings bloom, but I still need MORE. (****See bottom of review for the poem!****)



The bromance bits were a true treat! But I feel like there was so much wasted potential to advance the story between Wang Yeo and Sunny. There she is just waiting for him and dolling herself up incase he shows.



Ugh. Romance is not waiting around for someone.



I'm still interested enough in the story to stick to it. It's only 16 episodes and there won't be any "it's popular so let's drag it out" stuff going on. That's a big plus. The punishment for her aunt and cousins is pretty awesome, I kind of suspected something like that!!! Ha-ha! I just want the story to move forward! pacing! There are so many interesting parts and plots going on. Not to mention more needs to be done to really get the romance going.



Moments I loved were Kim Shin denying that flowers bloomed when he was happy and the whole drunken thing. Not to mention all of those guys trying to catch the end of the morning drama! Ha-ha.



I leave this review of my own mixed feelings with this awesome poem that Byul typed up in the discussions (saving me from having to pause and go to get it!):



"Mass is not proportional to volume. A girl as small as a violet...A girl who moves like a flower petal...is pulling me toward her with more force than her mass. Just then, like Newton's apple, I rolled toward her without stopping until I fell on her...with a thump. With a thump. My heart keeps bouncing between the sky and the ground. It was my first love."

Ah, it's so cute how the whole Team helped to try and impress Yao's parents! They really pulled together. Yao was thinking they should pull it back. Clearly her parents knew it was over the top. Only her mom needed to be won over, and I was right! She's hoping Cheng and Yao will become an item! She knows. I think she checked up on Chessman. He-he. Not cute is Sunflower AKA Jian Yang the Ex sending Yao all those gifts! Yuk! I'm glad that Yao finally got her livestream out of the way and bestie Jin Yang came to the rescue. At first I thought Cheng was being rude, but I think he just wanted to distract Yao from her worries. I do feel really bad for Jin Yang's boyfriend. Ouch. The drama of being challenged by someone straight up targeting Yao was interesting. Though it feels weird to make this whole big deal out of her getting killed and defeated. She had to take many losses to get to the top. I hope this doesn't turn into something weird. That her words aren't just talk and once she clears her head she can move on. It is hard to do, but to get as good as she is now she's had to taken hits. I know she doesn't want to disappoint her team, but . . . it happens! Another fun episode.

6.0/10 - Oh, dear.

So Yeon Seo has lost her memory. Apparently Archangel Hu can't give up on Kim Dan. Which means the Archangel has selfish human motives. Also. Angels aren't supposed to interact or have a hand in human lives. BUT!!!!! Kim Dan's whole mission has been about being in Yeon Seo's life and helping her fall in love. That makes no sense!!I'm so annoyed about this memory loss. First of all this means that Archangel Hu has meddled. She now doesn't remember her killer and so on. Not to mention I was promised a secrets reveal. All of my favorite drama romances have one important thing in common. The lead finds out about the other leads secret, no matter gender, and then they are still in love. Seeing that love grow with everything out on the table is were the real romance can begin. Sure there might be some minor secrets, but the real important stuff is out there. Ni Na is getting more time. So there is that. Overall this was such a let down. At least Kang Woo is on to Ru Na. I think even Kim Dan might be getting clued in. Though way more slowly.
