Strong Girl Bong Soon Episode 7
2 people found this review helpful
Set her free! Ha-ha. I love the talk about her mom not even letting her hold hands with boys, and now basically telling her to hurry up and have sex. Free indeed. Not to mention that her secret is free now! We'll see how Gook Doo and Bong Soon both react. Will she run? Will he totally freak out.
Also, shouldn't the girlfriend have said she already broke things off with Gook Du? Seems a bit odd.
The importance of the blanket and the joke with it was priceless! Though did it rob them of smarts? And how long would a spell like that last? I mean sure you want to have sex, but you still need to go and work.
This show has been a total role reversal, but I like finally seeing Min Hyeok really show of his skill set. It was nice the company threats ended/solved. The end of Min Hyeok's trust in his brother was very obvious, but the scenes still packed a very emotional wallop.
Though my biggest complaint with Strong Woman Do Bong Soon is her super strength. If she wouldn't have figured it out at a young age she would have killed someone. How can she go from gently patting and comforting to suddenly totally bullet shooting stones when she's concentrating on being gentle? I get that this is a comedy, but that' just stupid. Ugh. There's laughs and then there's stupid plot holes of stupidity.
The whole bride stealing feels so out of place, especially considering it's such a huge focus point of the show. The cuts to it and the flow of the story seem very tacky. Like the idea and concept where tossed in randomly and they can't figure out how to quite make it fit.
Don't get me wrong I look forward to each episode and this drama really makes me laugh. Its just very odd. I also found out this was written by the same writer as "Marriage, Not Dating". I am up to episode 10 and I can say I think the writer has skills. So I'm wondering if the network tampered with the script because they wanted more?
Either way I'm enjoying it, things just feel oddly cut.

Kuzu no Honkai Episode 6

"I don't want to be alone. Being alone . . . makes me feel empty."
This episode made me feel a bit dirty. I actually had to check everyone's age. (Especially Mugi. *cough*) I think this twisted tale goes even further. Brother called Akane Hana when she tripped. Not to mention he didn't make a move on Akane until she confessed to being jealous of Hanabi. Ooooo, Brother likes Hana. He just won't go there.
Which means Hanabi's twisted plan just might work. Eccachan, looks like you're gonna be left in the dust. Poor Mugi as well. Hanabi's twisted mind doesn't actually care about loneliness and these people. She cares about Akane and how "she's stealing everything from her". She is only doing this because of Akane. Maybe Akane and Hanabi should hook up. ^_-
I have a feeling this is going to get so twisted fast. This also makes me wonder if Hanabi will target more than Mugi and Brother. If she'll target the student Akane was having a late night with? How twisted is this going to go. Holy cow I'm consumed! I can't wait for it to all go up in flames.

So here I am at the fated 4 episode and I will definitely will be continuing this drama! The storytelling has really come together here. Though I feel like if they push the back and forth timelines too much further the show will either become A) Too Convoluted B) Confusing. Or simple both. Too much jumping around messes with the impact.
Some big reveals here and Bong Hee may have gotten off that island, but there's some scarier stuff that might go down on land.
This opens up some huge questions. Such as how can anyone judge someone on their spotty amnesia mind? Really? I say I'm gonna kill someone everyday, or that I've just murdered someone. Context. Why was no one on the island when they visited it? Why did they leave so fast? Are others looking for clues?
Is her memory becoming more clear as they change their clothes on the island? Who else may have survived the crash? On and on. I love the story that is being built. Though I don't like how Bong Hee thinks she needs to make herself useful, she is the only one with the skills to truly survive. At least that we've seen. Know ones worth.
I'm very curious about so many of the characters. Tae Ho maybe an intense asshole (only other person able to catch a meal) and the murder may have been a mercy kill. I feel like So Hee is worried about Bong Hee. They could become good friends. There's clearly lots of missing memory there. A big reveal is coming.
The bigger question is where is everyone from the island!?
Okay, so I love the humor here! Though I do feel like many stupid things are done. Such as still pretty much leaving your food unprotected!!
Sidenote: while I hate the teasing of killing off character, as I fan I'm happy that character isn't dead! Phew. But that makes me wonder how far the writers are going to go? Make it intense. That's all I ask!

The one thing this drama is definitely doing right is the BROMANCE! >_< Holy cow Wang Yeo and Kim Shin are great characters together. From saving Ji Eun Tak and talking telepathically together about why she wasn't thanking them, to talking about whether the person Kim Shin has a grudge against was reincarnated! (Loved that whole "if he was reincarnated as a girl I'll be happy" and his little dance! The power of k-pop. I bet he was thinking: "If you are a girl idol you're being punished enough. Dance monkey, dance!")
One drama friend pointed out some reasons why Ji Eun Tak and Kim Shin weren't working romantically for her, and it clicked for me too! So the whole second episode where Ji Eun Tak is running around Canada Kim Shin is basically babysitting. Not to mention that, while totally adorable, Ji Eun Tak is the puppy dog girl. She moons over him with big eyes, runs around in circles around him and when he disappears she must find him and wait! She loves/likes him no matter what he does. Heck this episode he even petted her. (He said patted, I say petted.) While I love the actress playing Ji Eun Tak I feel like the character is a bunch of stereotypes smashed together at this point.
Just like the love story she's not developed beyond the idea. At this point there isn't enough between them to convince me of their intense feelings. It creeps me out at this stage and I really want them to grow as a couple so that I can be involved. It doesn't help that I feel like there's gonna be a time jump soon. I feel it looming.
Another thing. What is with the flashback and endless staring scenes? Okay, so I get the staring scenes are "art pieces". All of them make lovely backgrounds. The flashbacks of things that just happened are so sloppy! The story is compelling don't waste it.
I also don't like that she caved just to keep him there. *sighs*
There's many promising aspects here, but I want the romance to hit home. Not be just a pretty collaboration of images. That's not to say some of the dialogue between them wasn't better this episode.
Another thing is I'm very interested in Yoo Deok Hwa involvement. So when he took the book was it only because he was following Kim Shin's orders to find out everything about Ji Eun Tak? Why was his timing so perfect to make her pay for it? Is he working for the old/young woman. (Who I found out is the Goddes of Birth?) I found Sunny and Wang Yeo's meeting interesting, but then not fully explored. (Cut down the flashbacks and wasted pacing.) The old woman who now is young, is she like a fate? She's not a goblin, I'm so curious. (Edit: So it says the old woman is the Goddess of Birth. Hmmmmm. Very interesting.)
I enjoyed seeing a nice person waiting for Wang Yeo's soul retrieval. Don't get me wrong that guy shouldn't have died! It must of been heartening for Wang Yeo to see someone who only cared about others die/a good soul. The man's reaction to finding out that he had died, but had saved a life was very heart warming.
At least there's a lot of promising aspects and I truly love the bromance. The OST is blowing my mind. I'm obsessed with it. I hope the writing can improve and totally sweep my mind away.
(On a side note I could totally live with seeing Kim Shin doing some more k-pop dancing. Ha-ha.)

Guardian: The Lonely and Great God Episode 2

Ha-ha!! The hunk was a Canadain ghost!! He was good looking though. ^_-
Two things about this drama are very clear. Firstly I'm already obsessed with the OST! I need it. Secondly this is a visual master piece and treat for the eyes. So stunning. Oh, wow! Takes my breath away.
However. Pretty scenes do not equal character development, plot, or a story. So while it was very pretty to look at some of the slow motion shots that utilized rain, dandelion seeds, scenery, and of course the stunning visual of our fabulous cast I think they need to make it a bit more cleaner. I thought this episode did a better job of not quite over doing it like the last episode. Though I think they can still to key moments without dragging it out.
So far I really like where the plot is going. Though at this point I'm not quite there with Kim Shin and Ji Eun Tak. It's a bit rushed and forced. However, the bromance is on point. Wang Yeo and Kim Shin have serious chemistry and they've had better story lines--that aren't rushed--to develop their connections.
My biggest issue is that Ji Eun Tak is basing her confessions of love and why she will marry him because she's heard from ghosts that she is the Goblin's Bride. She tells this guy she love him and they'll marry, but finally goes out to ask about what a Goblin is now. Odd. While I enjoy Kim Shin getting jealous over another guy she finds attractive and wants to cool the next time she "summons" him I find it forced. Don't tell me she loves him! Create a story in which I can't deny their feelings. Please!
Okay, so what is up with Yoo Deok Hwa? (The nephew.) Pretty sure that was him that picked up the goblin book after Ji Eun. Unless someone else was wearing the exact jacket. What games is he playing. I think he setup some things. Or I'm just way reading into things.
Yoo In Na has entered! Yeah! I honestly thought she was going to be some magical being too. I like this blasé human that she is. Oh, I can totally see their being chemistry between Kim Sun and Wang Yeo. I can't wait for them to meet.
The cliffhanger has so much promise as Wang Yeo and Kim Shin are teaming up! Not to mention that the previews show Wang Yeo falling victim to Ji Eun's sunny charms.
As lovely as Goblin has been to look at I hope that the plot will step it up even more. It's on the cusp of total drama awesomeness for me and I really want Goblin to hit it's full potential.
(Oh, and I have to do some research on Goblins in Korean culture! Not to mention that song!? Is it a nursery rhyme or something?)

I appreciate that Wei Wei got to fight her own battles and kicked that sexist meanies but!
There wasn't much KO and Hao Mei moments. I really-really-really want to see more of them.
However, I was gifted an early kiss! Wei Wei still hasn't livened up. However, a dream sequence oddly kicked in. Judging from that I hope I gets some real kiss scenes please.
Xiao Nai's expressions and actions are so cute this episode!! Yang Yang is a pretty awesome actor, I like the subtle ways he makes Xiao Nai warm up.
I also enjoy that Xiao Nai isn't bothered by expressing his feelings for Wei Wie. He's fine with accidental couple outfits and doesn't mind PDA. Poor shy Wei Wie.
Oh, and Er Xi is back!!! Yeah!

Oh my! Who knew online gaming could be such a charming way to woo your lady? Ha-ha.
That said some of the immediate flashbacks were annoying. We know who they're thinking of and WHY. Just got done watching it this episode!
So Xiao Nai does know who Wei Wei is. Clever guy! He's so sly about pursuing her. I love how they haven't quite come face to face yet.
Wei Wei's friend and Cao Guang are going to make an excellent couple. Until then I look forward to watching them fight. ^_-

Love in the Moonlight Episode 1

This is a decent start. I enjoyed that the writers kind of committed to making us wonder if Ra On really was a girl. Who knew the whole becoming an eunuch could be so funny in all its horrific glory. *shivers* But it was so hilarious I'm still laughing about it.
Interesting introductions to all three men. I am totally picking up on Sungkyunkwan Scandal vibes. Which is okay at this point. The writers will have time to develop everyone. I will say Park Bo Gum makes a very lovely prince. Well lovely looking . . .
This episode was pretty much fun with small hints of the bigger plots. The King is afraid and letting someone else rule for him. Ra On's male "guardian" apparently has some kind of checkered past.
Let's see how Ra On handles becoming the puppy! And I do believe the Crown Princess is currently wearing a fat suit . . . okay. I feel a makeover scene coming on at some point in the drama. The prince would have no idea what a plane is, so I'm going to say that this drama will not be one of those 100% accurate ones. Which is fine. This is gonna be a fun period drama.

Upon finishing this episode I immediately jumped up started running in a circle with my arms frantically flailing in the air. As I desperately repeated "Please no! Please-no-no-no!" over and over. What a cruel cliffhanger. All I can do is be thankful that there's another episode coming and no long week wait in between. Unless the next episode wants to be cruel . . .
That said this is a great setup episode. It's working hard to give us a feel for all the characters and where they stand. The hospital politics are here, but they're not the main focus and they're just interesting enough. This cast really has so much chemistry that I can see all the ship/couple options! Doctor Crush indeed.
"I'm not going to die because of a man's love like Mom did." ~Hye Jung
This episode is a great setup for showing that despite Hye Jung having bettered her life and becoming a doctor, she still has scars. Scars that have definitely ruined her views of family and love. However, I think it's also given her great insight on who is a real friend and family to her. Ji Hong is going to have his work cut out for him.
I loved Hye Jung and Soo Chul together this episode! The huge build up to them meeting. (For those following my reviews that would be the hot motorcycle man!) They really have great chemistry, but I'm satisfied with were they're going together . . . well you know.
Seo Woo is turning out to be a very compelling character. I felt heart broken last episode when she was trying to save that patient. It's interesting watching her react to everything this episode. Though I don't think she realizes she she's not some nice person who's been walked all over. She's been the bully who just can't take no. I'm very interested in who will end up with her, so far I don't think any of the current cast can handle her. (A small part of me thought Soo Chul could.)
I love the role reversal here is Hye Jung pulls Yoon Do out of the way! You know the standard move the guys in drama always do, and I believe Ji Hong has already done it for Hye Jung. Yoon Do is so cute and adorable, even Ji Hong admits it. Honestly I can't even help myself from cheering Yoon Do on in pursuing Hye Jung.
Great episode!! I'm loving the entire cast here. I'm curious as to how things will go with Hye Jung's legal family. Not to mention all the other plots going. It's a great feeling. Most of all I need the next episode now! So be warned guys, make sure you have time to start up the next episode right after.
(Hye Jung and Soon Hee WOMANCE is driving me crazy! They're so cute together! I really do love every moment.)

Picks up right where we left off. I would hope that if it's an accident and you dragged the person out that you were supposed to be killing the cops would wonder about a few things. Like how did an unconscious person get herself out of a burning building, or see anything after she was being "murdered"? Also, I had no idea that if you're older than 14 in Korea you can be tried as an adult and actually go to hard core prison? Wow. (I really feel like I need to know more about Korean law here!)
This is the crying episode. I think maybe it annoyed me because I have a lot of memories of Park Shin Hye crying a pretty good amount in whatever drama she's in. Though this episode deserved those tears. It went the dramatic and sad way I feared it would. (Though it's interesting that they'd hint that it wasn't just the way something like that could go, but an actual wrong doing? Very interesting to take it that way.) At the very least I hope Soon Hee will come back into Hye Jung's life. I love a good BFF relationship in any story. Especially girl BFFs as dramaland always seems to be in short supply of them.
Also, I have to note after seeing the ER fight scene again how amazing Park Shin is doing in her role of Hye Jung. I read she's doing all of her stunts for her movie, and it certainly shows in the quality of the scenes. She's really going the distance for this role.
I love seeing that Ji Hong's emotions are so deep. I think Hye Jung thought of him as a friend, though I think she realizes that she could easily feel more. I'm still behind the teacher/student thing being bad, so I look forward to them both being adults when the romance picks up. Which is a good thing as the "13 Year Later" comes to an end at this episode. Teasing us just enough before a dramatic end! Man I really want to know which characters are going to be present in the present!!
Random thought: I haven't said anything about it before. However, I can't stay silent any longer. That puppy is so adorable. I want to puppy nab it.

Ah, a flashback episode starter. Not to mention that Doctors is a show that I've put a lot of expectations on. So this first episode had a lot of room to fail with me. However, it sucked me in despite the annoying moment when the "13 years ago" message came across.
It's a lively flashback! AND I think this is going to be one of my favorite roles for Park Shin Hye to play. She's so vivacious and cool! It's great to see her so animated in a character type I haven't seen her take on yet. (I haven't seen all of her stuff so maybe she has in something else.)
The setup is fun and I'm fully engaged with the "13 years ago" especially since the opening scene grabbed my attention and I want to know about Hye Jung. A doctor who can tell a gang what to do in her hospital!
Visually Doctors is pleasing too and I enjoyed the title and flashback transitions. Not to mention I enjoyed both the American and Korean music choices. I hope that continues. (Come on, Sk8ter Boy anyone?)
Overall I great start, the ending was . . . strange to the say the least. But the writing has captured my attention and I'm very curious about Hye Jung and the rest of the cast.

Mirror of the Witch Episode 6

Flashbacks. Sighs. We're only 6 episodes in . . . there is no need for them. Especially to be that long. The only flashback that should have been was a look into the Shamaness and Hyun Seo's past. Which ended up being exactly what I thought it would be. Even if Hong Joo, the shamaness, had a typical story her performance of villain is well worth it.
Things got a little better for the characters. Connections coming back. Though I cringe as to why Seo Ri would step out of their again! I get the curse flared up, but still. Now it looks like Poong Yeon is going to be shelved already! And I'm really curious about him and his apprentice! Darn it.
The show has already taken back two deaths and now it's just killing off random people. The impact of "no on is safe" lost a little of it's mojo. Does that mean a certain twin will come back later on down the line? I'm still curious who the masked red robes is, as I'm pretty sure it's not the King or Hyun Seo. If it is that some bad directing of time tables.
The falling scene finally happened! And sadly I was more annoyed by what lead to it with Seo Ri. So that thrill was taken away. Not to mention how annoying the previews look. I'm really hoping the next episode will up the writing and ex-na the flashbacks. The series is too short and definitely not far enough along to need flashbacks. Maybe a flashback voice over for impact.
Sigh. I've decided to stick this one out, but I really hope things shape up.

You know I'm really excited! This is technically my first action drama. Or one with action being a main part of it. Visually this was pretty awesome and the fight seems where splendid fun. Healer the Night Courier! Yeah!
It kind of reminds me of this one show that tried to make a go of it in the US. Or transporter! Check the package, get the job done, don't ask questions. Very cool.
The setup to the news is interesting. The way the past is shown to the present is very cool. Especially the idea of these people fighting for freedom of speech in the news. The overlay of the younger characters to their older selves is nice. I'm just a bit confused, but I appreciate how they're doing it. So I'm sure my confusion will be resolved soon.
Healer has definitely captured my attention. So far I really like all the actors that I've seen and I'm definitely compelled to know more about Healer. (Not just because of the peek of certain yummy body parts I swear.) Love the humor, action, fast pace of the show, and it's setup. Excellent.

The Prisoner of Beauty Episode 1

Solid start. The usual info dump. Love Song Zu Er's character, Qiao Man. Especially that she was willing to save her cousin and more importantly act to save the people. Her grandfather acknowledges her brilliance. Wei Shao is super feirce. Scary even. He's impatient and acts fast to get what he wants.These two are going to have sparks flying! I love that despite himself he looked stunned.

Family by Choice Episode 5

This Drama keeps bringing all the feels. The tensions from the brothers just killed me. Especially since Kang Hae Jun can't see that his desperation is clouding his eyes. I wish he could see and hear the horrible things that Kim San Ha's mom says to him. She want's him to move to Seoul, and yet she's already telling him that bad things only happen when he's around. Which was a powerful moment. As Kim San Ha realized some of his feelings about a certain someone. I normally get ticked off when flashbacks already happen. These were will used. I'm definitely on team Kim San Ha and Yun Ju Won. Plus, I'm so releaved that Hae Jun is clearly not a second lead in the since that he also wants Ju Won. He clearly only sees her as a sister. Which is good since I'm totally into Ju Won and Park Dal as an item. She's too cute and I think they are well suited. Though I fear she has a toxic mom. There's too many mom issues!It was also interesting seeing both dads in this episode and their roles. Not to mention how they support each other. It broke my heart that Yun Jeong Jae is tired of everyone trying to tell him that his kids are not his. That he is honored and he is THEIR FATHER! Even Kim Dae Uk doesn't deny his fellow dad the right to claim his son as one of his kids. Found family is one of my most beloved tropes. I love that even when blood fails us. We can find love and true family somewhere else. It's too beautiful. I love the three leads so much!!! The actors are doing a fantastic job and I love how Ju Won fights for her family with positivity and happiness.
