Even though I'm a bit tired of the trope of having the "end" at the beginning and then flashback to events it does set the story up well. Creating a mystery of whether or not there is one survivor. Then flashback so that we can meet everyone else. Of course making us agonize as to whether or not any of them make it to the end.
I like the idea of this mystery between the idols and what went on on in the past before they made it big. Also, the idea of Jun Oh as disgraced idol who just keeps clinging on. The scene where he tried to mooch off of everyone else's fame is hilarious. Yet sad.
The first episode clearly promises smart cinematography. Tons of lovely shots to be found, especially the crash. It's a decent setup, but it bounces around just a little too much. Not to mention that I don't think a special task force "police" can tell the victim that they're an inconvenience and bully them like that. Pretty sure the girl would have someone else in the room on her side at the very least. Not to mention immedidatly putting her on another plain and then telling her that they "kind of looked, but stopped due to money which they'll unconventionally have to start the search up again."
Crazy. I"m curious to find out who will survive the crash and how the story will progress. Personally I want Bong Hee to come into her own and show them all what "real strength" is. (AKA please let this girl have survival skills! Please!!) Like she might not be the best stylist, but she knows how to deal with hardship.
Anywho, I have hopes for this drama and this is a pretty solid start.

Guardian: The Lonely and Great God Episode 6

It will never be a masterpiece for me. Well, outside of the cinematography and OST. Those to things are clearly masterful. This is so beautiful to look at and the soundtrack is well utilized. Sadly, emotionally this will probably never grip me for the romance. There just isn't enough development. Not to mention that the goblin spends a lot of time depressed and treating the female lead like a dog. (Head pat. A head pat.)
It happens with books, instalove. I hate it no matter the storytelling format. So while I accept that they are a couple, I have very muted feelings for them. I'm also bummed that the other subplots are barely present. It's too fast for the main couples romance (non-existent) and barely developing the rest of the stories.
Though I loved the ending bit. We're all pretty sure why the blade did that. She's technically not his bride yet. So while I like what she did for the end scene, I doubt it will work. (Or if it does his mind will be altered.)
At least this drama delivers a consistent level of quality. so thanks. Great cliffhanger and I'm looking forward to less mopey scenes, and maybe fewer flashbacks. Goblin is 16 episodes long. It doesn't have time for that.

That was an intense episode and I'm not just talking about the womance! Phew! That cliffhanger is scary, they better let us now what happened with Yi Na and the drowning. From the previews though it looks like they'll probably keep us, and Oh Jong Gyoo/creeper, in suspense.
I'm so proud of my girls for all going to fill in for Jin Myeong when she couldn't make her part time job. AND I'm proud of Jin Myeong! Now if she could really just tell that jerk boss/pervert off! Guys like him make it so hard for woman to go out and make it happen. Trying to keep them as nothing more then sex objects. +_+ I had a boss like that once . . . (he got what he deserved.)
This was a super fun episode and I love seeing Eun Jae's budding romance and Ye Eun's closing romance. Ye Eun better be dumping him! Don't blame the woman, blame the man. You're the one seeing him.
Overall the humor was great! Between getting ready to watch porn together and teaming up to help Jin Myeong the girls really were working the womance. I just wish that Jin Myeong could join in more, though it was all so terribly cute when they were walking home together!
Wonderful episode and I really do believe this is gonna be one of 2016's top dramas for me.

Okay I remember seeing actor Chen Baron--though I didn't know who he was at the time--in this leather jacket! It blew up my MDL feeds for a bit and I have to say that even though I didn't have an interest in this drama I knew about it! I've been waiting for it to enter my drama life for a while now! So here it is, episode 11!
That said this was painful! Another stupid plot trope I'm not happy that Bromance is deciding to linger on. The father amnesia thing has found a place, grudgingly, and it's developing well. However, Bromance is killing me with all these close calls! Well shot but annoying!
Na Na! She saved this episode for me. You go girl, get whom you want! I love that she's fearlessly going after him and making her desire known. She's not over the top, which is good since I'm sure Wei Qing Yang couldn't stand that! My cutie! I really enjoy the two together and their developing relationship. I think there's a surprise about the house Na Na wants to buy. Oh, and I'm sorry there's no way he couldn't have ripped up his shirt like that. It looks like really well made cloth, still so manly.
Okay, so the pacing is off and it's a bit boring. This episode is still speckled with fun and entertaining things to keep it not so bad. Especially Feng's facial expressions as he shows off his shooting skills to Pi Ya Nuo. The motorcycle scene doesn't hurt either.
This is why I shouldn't watch the previews though, because they set me up! Either I'm gonna love it if Pi Ya Nuo actually tells him the whole truth. Or I'm gonna hate that they setup to seem like the confession was coming. It's a mind game!

Wei Qing Yang's face during that kiss scene gave me such awesome feels. Actually everyone's reactions did. I love that they all support and love them. Wanting Du Zi Feng and Pi Ya Nuo to find happiness together. Knowing the ones most important to them support them. Not to mention that his amnesia dad doesn't really care and is actually happy for them. >_< I think that means even with his memorie intact he'd support them.
That said I hate this framing plot with Chu Zhe Rui. Not to mention how quickly Pi Ya Nuo turns on him. If the man kept her biggest secret for how long, he would not have turned on her ever. Sheesh. In less it really turns out he did it I'm very ashamed of Pi Ya Nuo!
As I've said the coisin is so awesome! I'm so glad she showed up and I really want her to be friends with Na Na.
Speaking of Na Na. I loved Wei Qing Yang and Na Na's reactions. I really missed that as the focus has been more on her and her father. I love how she makes all the bold moves and Qing Yang is just all shocked, but loves it. That sly smile. I see it.
Overall better than the last one. while I didn't like that the kiss was "forced" it turned out pretty great.

Wow, this episode was so slow. It made great progess with Na Na and her dad. Even Zi Han and Liao Guang Chao had a great moment and some little interactions specled in to spice it up.
I hate amnesia plots. Can't someone vanish and something more interesting than a lost memory happen? Overall I found the whole plot more tiresome. Which makes me worry how future episodes are gonna go moving forward.
Pretending to be a sister of Pi Ya Nuo is lame, I liked it better if she could just come forward. Especially now that she knows Chu Zhe Rui knows her secret. Clearly a few people knowing for ages isn't going to hurt anything.
In the end I liked some of the smexy moments between Du Zi Feng and Pi Ya Nuo. It's just accompanied by the turn of lazier writing.

Okay, Du Zi Feng has to know Pi Ya Nuo is a girl. The tie scene where he was rubbing his face practically on hers, hand holding, wrist grabs that last FOREVER, and all the other stuff. I totally get that guys that are comfortable with eachother can be that close. I've had a few guy and girls I've been able to be physically close with because our friendship was so strong. However, there are lines. I wouldn't rub my face against theirs. After all that is more of a zone of space reserved for lovers.
Overall I like this show and considering I think this is one of the better gender benders I'm wondering how crazy my rating scale was back then. If this is just average for me, the other ones must of been kind of bad . . . he-he.
This episode could have been a bit of a let down because I am finding all the endless tropes a little dull because I don't think they're trying to make them unique. There just there.
Wei Qing Yang and Yang Na Na relationship actually interests me more. Especially since Na Na is sick. That adds new depths and questions to how their relationship will grow and evolve. This is the real saving point for this drama for me.
There's no doubt that Pi Ya Nuo knows that Chu Zhe Rui knows. I hate it when the girl plays dumb and then hurts the guy by not simply giving him a quick let down. Who knows maybe Pi Ya Nuo doesn't know how to handle feelings towards men.
The tent scene was cute and all, more wrist grabbing.

Ah, the trope checklist continues. The hot springs one came faster than I thought. Sadly it was over so soon. It's always one of my favorite things in a gender bender and may not always be a guarantee to be written in.
So I really like the idea of Pi Ya Nuo pretending to be a gay man. At least that should help with the woman hitting on her.
The second lead is pretty charming, but I'm already firmly on TEAM Du Zi Feng. What I don't like is how careless Pi Ya Nuo became at the hot springs!!! 25 years no way would she ever make a mistake like that. I don't care for plots that compromise the female leads common sense so that she can be a damsel.
What a surprise that the writers decided to toss in the cross dressing already. (Where the girl actually gets to dress up as a girl, but the male lead doesn't know he's a she.)
I'm curious to know if Pi Ya Nuo will ever find out that Chu Zhe Rui knows her secret. Not to mention if he'll be the poor second lead who simple helps her out, but just pines in silence. (Make a move! Make a move!)
What I really like is that not all the male leads are head over heels for Pi Ya Nuo. I LOVE that Wie Qing Yang has his own love story, especially since the silent teddy bear types normally get neglected. Bii is such a great actor that his silence speaks volumes.
It's also nice to have a male lead who's as awesome as Du Zi Feng. He's kind, courageous, cares about others, and shows it all up front!
That said I love how Pi Ya Nuo's best friend was worried that he wasn't a man's cup of tea other! He's not any woman or man's type! Then what type is he?
This is a pass for me! This is a nice guilty pleasure of a gender bender and I love how lighthearted and easy it is. Sometimes you just need mindless fun.

So Pi Ya Nou was a little silly immediately writing that letter for Zi Feng. First off all it was too soon. Secondly of course he was gonna notice the handwriting. We're in dramaland after all. I was a little bit annoyed that Pi Ya Nuo would just throw caution to the wind. Luckily Du Zi Feng is a kind thinking/hearted person.
I loved how nervous Du Zi Feng's sister got when she got caught in her comfort home wear! Noting strikes fear in a beautiful woman's heart like having the man she's after see her without makeup and casual wear. Ha-ha.
Yang Na Na and Wei Quing Yang's romance is so cute. Though plagued by unrealsitic shots. From walking down the middle of cement paths and fainting, in which she magically transported to cushiony grass. The plane scene was lovely, but I wanted to see them launching them all at once. Super powers were needed.
A MDL friend said that Bromance is indeed a check list of drama tropes. Well it's very true. I really laughed my butt off during the whole "freezing in the rain" scene. Though I did appriciate it in the end when Zi Feng was all wet. (Nothing makes up for cheesiness like hot wet guys. >_< Mmmmmmmm.)
Bromance is still tons of fun, even if the tropes kind of got away.

Ha-ha. I figured Night of Men was gonnna go down like that. The punishment for not bringing any men was fun, not lame. Though I feel super bad for Ji Won! She's a total catch. I know it's a region thing that Korean guys aren't into those "kind of girls". Hmph. If Ji Won's been dating like that and so out going she would have caught some guys eye by now.
Bravo to Yi Na for not taking crap from Ye Eun's boyfriend. The sad part is that he's being nice now because he doesn't know when he'll be mean later. But he's already being mean and he's after Yi Na. Oh, dear Ye Eun. Her truth is the reality of many woman. The heart wants what the heart wants, but the head and heart know when it's time to walk away. Be brave!
Ahhhhhh! Eun Jae was so cute. After her "transformation" I love how suddenly her crazy haired oppa was into her and she blew him off! See. Total crush. I love how naïve they both are at love. Eun Jae's senior is just as new as it as he doesn't know what he's dong either.
Jin Myeong's poor man. I feel so bad from him. Girl he's already getting a glimpse into your life. He didn't run when you muttered about wishing your brother had died. Or when debt collectors came calling. I feel bad for him. Of all the guys I like him the most.
Ah, so the creeper is out for revenge for his daughter. I can't believe he was dumb enough to take the bracelet. Not only that but I wonder if Yi Na is really in the wrong. What happened!
The ghost and forced foreshadowing of all the girls secrets kind of brought this down for me. So far it feels like Ji Won doesn't have one, but I'm sure she does. The writer didn't need to make all the commentary and forced foreshadowing. Things were revealing themselves quite nicely.
That said the Night of Men party was hilarious and I loved it for making Eun Jae's senior be brave and confess! So cute.

Ha-ha! Instead of party balloon animals. It's party balloon penises. I can't believe they could show all those penis shaped things, but they blurred out those random papers hanging up in Ji Won and Ye Eun's bedroom!
Holly cow this episode made me laugh like crazy. All of the antics. Starting with Eun Jae pining over the guy with the long hair, ever weird pants, and cheesy lines! Ha-ha. It's crazy to me how someone can be so emotionally involved with only their imagination! Poor Senior. Don't worry. You'll get through Eun Jae's oblivious brain.
This was a great episode showcasing the different types of relationships and they're ending. Eun Jae's first real crush--I'm sorry I can't call it love. Poor Jin Myeong barely started love. Then of course Ye Eun's long and abusive relationship. It feels odd to say that as I thought Ye Eun's relationship would be a comedic thing. What I like is that even though it has taken this darker turn, it's relastic. It show's how despite the way he treats her that she loves him. That's one of the reasons she acknowledges that she has to break things off. However, from that ending I think he's gonna weasel and she's gonna cave in a blink.
That said I loved all the girls getting ready for the party. I feel bad for Jin Myeong, but you can't not do things because of other people. It was hilarious when Ji Won's dad showed up and they were scrambling to put all the part décor away. I love how gleeful Yi Na was about the party! Ha-ha! All because of the ghost in the shoe cupboard.
Well I'm really looking forward to the party. The creepy guy following Yi Na is revealed to have just gotten out of prison and looking to punish a girl. I wonder if he will go through with it? What did Yi Na do? Clearly she's been punishing herself over it. Or at least that's what I think. It must have something to do with the creeper's son or a relation of some kind? Right? The speculations keep me guessing! (Oh, and you just know that Yi Na is going to invite the creeper.)
Either way I'm really looking forward to this party! It's a promise for chaos and fun. Especially since getting ready for the party was so much fun. (Roof top party! Sorry couldn't resist.)

Oh, man!!! It's so cruel when the 1586 timeline stops!! When Shim Chung cries out at the end of the drama cliffhanger is how I feel when the historical timeline stops! Ah, so intense. So lovely!
This episode continues to develop the characters, and I love how the extra at the end gives us a taste of what some of the other side characters were doing in the past. Though I'm still confused what they are to the present and such. A lot of those side characters need to develop. Such as why Shi Ah was getting paid by his one friend. He's helping her land him, but he has to pay her or . . . what? I'm a little bummed that Joon Jae is an heir like that. I really liked the idea of him being a poor guy in the present timeline. After all the situations have reversed for a lot of the characters.
It also feels so odd to see Sung Dong Il as the villain after watching him play a caring and grieving father in Moon Lovers. Boy is he bringing the villain though. He gave me goose bumps as he hunts Joon Jae down.
Shim Chung is a hoot here, and I really wonder what she's going to do now that she's met her competition? Oh, and I totally think Tae Oh is gonna get a crush on SHim Chung! I really want his character explored more.
Still lots of laughs and I'm so curious if Joon Jae will actually be able to get his memories back! That would be so awesome.

She can't control the mind erasing kisses? Hmm. That's a bit odd, but I guess we need a odd hijink to complicate things. Though losing his memories everytime they kiss could lead to a tiring plotline. Could, but I'll keep my faith going.
I love how at the start of each episode that it starts off with the 1586 timeline. This time it was even longer and I'm totally in love with it! Oh, what a great build up. I know it was popular to introduce the past storyline in an info dump in the first few episodes. Then slow reveals throughout the series, but now I think it's going to become popular to do bits and pieces at the beginning. Just like You Who Came From the Stars really fired up the end of the episode "extras".
I think I loved this episode even more because our lovely mermaid got even more time. I loved watching her interact with the modern era. Especially her mugging and "kidnapping" that little girl. (That girl is so precious!!!) Jeon Ji Hyeon is truly stealing the show! She's so mischievous and wonderful.
Poor Lee Min Ho can't keep up, even though we're getting a setup for him and his family ties. I look forward to them interacting more in the next episode. Though I don't want to give up more alone time with the awesome mermaid. I mean it, this show would have me just watching her try to live in the modern era. Her character is so well written and Jeon Ji Hyeon's acting makes her so real.
Besides exploring land with our mermaid there's a lot of setup. The hypnotizing powers still feel really off and kind of stretching. The elevator scene really taking that to a slightly cheesy place for me. The setup for the third wheel of the love triangle hasn't captured my attention either, and I find that it could go bad. (I mean another devious female lead trying to capture the male lead's attention . . . )
Again I love the humor of this show and it keeps me smiling the whole time! Definitely a wonderful feel good drama. I also love all the little eastereggs and the tie ins with the Ma Dae Yeong / Mister Yang character. I feel like the payoff is going to be really good.
I love how at the start of each episode that it starts off with the 1586 timeline. This time it was even longer and I'm totally in love with it! Oh, what a great build up. I know it was popular to introduce the past storyline in an info dump in the first few episodes. Then slow reveals throughout the series, but now I think it's going to become popular to do bits and pieces at the beginning. Just like You Who Came From the Stars really fired up the end of the episode "extras".

Another Miss Oh Episode 15
1 people found this review helpful
This is a really drawn out episode. Even my unending love for Park Soo Kyeong and Lee Ji Sang as a couple couldn't keep me from feeling bored. They dragged out that kiss so long that when things finally happened I was kind of over it.
I'm not even sure if I like Anna and Park Hoon's relationship. Suddenly she's treating him like a dog, and it doesn't feel so sweet anymore.
I did love how Oh Hae Yeong #1 was waiting for Do Kyeong and she watched all the antics of the other couples as they came in for the night.
I have to ask though why can't Park Soo Kyeong and Lee Ji Sang be friends who have a kid together? Who says they have to get married? Though I guess it's the fear of how the people around them will treat the child. Illegitimate kids are still a no-no in Korea.
Overall still solid. Oh Hae Yeong's fear of being 100% in love and Do Kyeong only being 89% or lower is real. When you realize that you love someone more or are committed more it can be scary. You're waiting for the other person to get there, or to decide they don't want to get there with you. It's one of the exciting and scary things about falling in love.
On that note I'm so afraid that Tae Jin is really going to try and kill Do Kyeong!! Dang it! I wish actor Lee Jae Yoon really got to be an awesome male lead one of these dramas. Don't worry your time will come.

The Legend of the Blue Sea Episode 2

Ha-ha!! I love that Jeon Ji Hyeon is the one with super powers thus far! I'm really happy that she can kick butt! Her fight noises and facial expressions--not to mention the reference--is too cool! Oh, my gosh I just love it. Not to mention that she is officially talking in the current timeline, I loved that whole scene.
I will admit I'm super curious about the historical timeline. The little snippets (AKA cruel teasing) at the beginning aren't enough! I hope they continue, and I wouldn't' complain if they evolved to take up more time. Oh, and yes the little end specials continue!!
This drama still looks awesome and I really love the look of the whole thing.
Lee Min Ho is doing a pretty great job and I will say it the chemistry is successful. That was the one thing I was really worried about. A lot of times super pair ups like this fail short.
I think what's really great about Legend of the Blue Sea is how much I was smiling. It's a feel good show and I love it! Sure there's not a lot plot, but what's here is paced well and the characters are developing. It's going to get even more exciting once they're back in Seoul and more characters are truly introduced.
