Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 4
1 people found this review helpful
Extreme rich guy hunting! It's real and it relies heavily on stepping on your sisters back to do it. Dang! Gong Mi I both applaud and fear you. She's a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. Though the fact that she's betraying my beloved Gong Shim means I'm obligated to hate her. *shrugs*
That's fine. Gong Shim and Joon Soo have serious chemistry, but Gong Shim and Dan Tae are freaking amazing together!! No really. I am shipping them hard. So hard. >_<
I love role reversel moments in dramas, so when Gong Mi has to career a drunk Dan Tae home I cried with laughter. It's only far as last episode Dan Tae did it for her! Maybe they can both be sick together and take care of each other. There are so many hilarious ways the writers could take this.
Again I love the humor and joy of this show. It's a little dark with the secret reveal of what happened to Joon Pyo. Yeah, I don't think the writers are going to pull a fast one where Dan Tae and Joon Pyo are concerned. That's okay because I think the route that the show is going with Dan Tae's parents and aunt is going to be pretty shocking.
Oh, and the punching scene! Gong Mi was going to get that punch in no matter what. Especially after learning the secret of her target. Who says she's dumb? Not worldly, sure.

Dear My Friends Episode 5

Wow, that was a really bad joke. REALLY bad. I thought last episode I was doomed with this show and that I would have to give it up. But it was all a setup . . . for a bad joke. I do admire that it made the characters reflect on their lives and morals.
What brought Dear My Friends back on course was that we finally get to delved in the other characters! Especially Choong Nam! Despite myself I fell in love with her and was waiting for the development! Not to mention Yeong Won's past. I really want more friendship moments with Choong Nam Yeong Won! The few sprinkled in this episode wasn't enough.
Park Wan and Yeon Ha's love story went exactly how I predicted. (Sometimes hunches and previews for the next episode is all you need to spoil a show!) It's interesting that Yeon Ha is moving on after he finally got Park Wan to talk about his legs. Park Wan's reaction is interesting. (And who saw! The secrets are going to have to come out at some point.) I'm really hoping that there's more to her dumping her crippled boyfriend than because what her mom is telling her. She's with a married guy, so clearly disobeying her mom is not a issue.
Overall this brought me back on board. Though I really hope the writer doesn't do any thing like this again. I'm glad that we're diving deeper into the other main characters and the "older" people are hanging out. It's great to see them all having fun and to discover their past connections. This cast has such great chemistry together.

Best hide and seek game ever! (Though I'm a little disheartened that my beloved Gong Shim's choices. The dog would have been perfect. Who doesn't love an adorable snuggle partner!) I'm not sure if I've ever scene a game of hide and seek in a drama before, but this one takes the cake! I could not stop laughing.
Actress Min Ah as Gong Shim has definitely become a favorite of mine. Her comedic timing is perfect, and the thing is Gong Shim is mostly dark and . . . creepy. I don't know. She's quiet and serious, and somehow Min Ah makes it amazing. So when Gong Shim is big and loud it blows you away!
Normally I'm not for love triangles, but I like this one! We're getting a great character development that makes you feel for them as individuals. Which is the point as this show is about whether outer or inner beauty is more important. What's is even more important is that there is no insta-love. At this point there might be a budding crush/minor interest on some fronts. I love a slow build up!
Gong Mi is definitely turning into a typical villainess as she stalks Joon Soo. When someone told her about the concept of husband hunting she took it to mean the extreme! No really. Forget about developing Gong Mi and her work place issue! We're seeing the claws come out. I think my dreams of sisterly affection are definitely brutally murdered in this episode.
Beautiful Gong Shim's writers have out done themselves with the level of writing here! Comedy, character devlopemnet with well realized characters, and I even have faith that they might pull a fast one on viewers about the kidnapped son bit. (Hey, a girl can dream!) Even if they don't pull a twist it's still great writing. I'm beyond impressed with the cast here! Everyone plays off each other so well.

Wow, I'm so happy that it wrapped up that mystery. To be honest I thought the Hwaseong serial murders case was going to be the overall arc of the series. However, I won't lie. The idea of the cases taking on a personal tone, specially to Park Hae Yeong, is very appealing. As I've said I like the cast of characters and I want to know more about them.
If there is eventually a romance I'd love for it to be Soo Hyun and Jae Han. Jae Han deserves some happiness after what happened. Plus, if it's like the movie there's a chance for them . . .
I'm astonished how well the writers are doing. Stepping away from the Hwaseong case will be tough, but I love bold steps and the fact that they're not trying to phone it in. I hate it when a plot line is milked to death.
It was chilling to see the father defending his son. Because you realize there's something really off with the dad. That he was unable to realize that by protecting his son at all costs he tore family's and lives apart. The flimsy excuse that his son was motherless couldn't even be defended. As a mother of two was killed because of them. He didn't even bat an eye. I blame both people for the murders.
Overall Signal is shaping up to be 2016's best drama. The actors are amazing, visually it's stunning fitting both time lines, and the writing is amazing. There's no question that Signal passes the 4 episode trial period. I have to see this drama to the end.

Mirror of the Witch Episode 2

As someone on Viki said, I'm feeling a Tangled vibe. Well a darker vibe of it. A clumsy money hungry thief with boyish charms stumbles onto the screen. Soon discovering a fair maiden trapped in a, err, hole/house that she can't leave.
While I immediately wanted Sea Ron, Seo Ri (AKA Princess Yeon Hee), to take over the story I admire that it focused immediately on Heo Jun. We get to know him, his world, and are left with just enough questions about him to keep him interesting. ^_- Heo Jun's lines are well delivered and I can see that actor Shi Yoon is going to be a great comedic relief.
For any dark fantasy well written and delivered humor is a most. I'm a huge dark fantasy fan and I know humor is a big factor. It makes the story more interesting and relatable. There's just enough dark elements here that viewers can't forget the creepiness of the first episode.
The CGI of the white Tiger is so well done. Especially for a TV show. Sure you wouldn't say "I thought it was real" and at times the tiger moved strangely. But I was impressed by the chase scene and how well the tiger fit into the real world scenes.
Of course Sae Ron captures my attention immediately as Seo Ri. I enjoy her fierce personality and I can already see she is quite the stubborn spirit. I'm hoping as the story fleshes her out that she will be a woman who can stand on her own and take on the dark magic around her. Not hide behind male leads.
Sae Ron's brother, Poong Yeon, is a bit of a let down. Already sporting a crush and at this point it might be premature to call it a silly trope. However, I think it would be more interesting if they had just a brother and sister relationship/feelings.
Overall this was a pretty solid follow-up. We're introduced to Crown Prince Soon Hwea (you know Seo Ri's twin brother) and get a basic feel for him. The more important part is seeing the dynamics of the palace and how things are 17 years after events of the first episode. Heo Jun being the character that the story follows and picks up at I'm very curious as to his role in the scheme of things. I can't wait to see more of Seo Ri and Soon Hwea. Especially when and how they meet.

It's understandable that the main characters tend to be the underdogs. After all we're here to cheer them on and watch them do battle. No matter what type of drama. We're watching for the drama. HOWEVER. There is a certain balance that needs to be kept. Where the good guys score one every now and then. Not to mention that they maybe think outside the box.
What I really love is when the main characters get devious and score one on the baddies. However, most of the time I'd just settle for the leads to use their brains. Maybe go on the offensive. Tell someone off.
Park Ha is driving me crazy. Even after getting her memories back she never thinks! She leaves herself open to getting trampled on. And why is no one locking the doors? Especially after what happened in the last episode. One horrible thing after the next. She never gets a break. Not to mention when she gets her memories back she squanders any chances, or lessons, letting Se Na use the truth as a weapon against her! Yes, this makes Se Na pretty awesome as an obstacle/enemy. But it's tiring watching the leads of this drama do stupid things and never learn.
The time travel aspects are definitely dying out. Sure there's some jokes about them not being modern men and they have to learn something. Sadly I think the stoplight boys aren't going to get enough time to be developed into amazing side characters. They're awesome and I think one of them is way more worthy of Park Ha. * sighs* I know that will never happen.
Honestly this drama has passed into the average area. There's a lot more annoying things about it then good. Sure I get that Tae Yong is seeing his dead princess in Se Na. But it would feel more real that in the present reality he knows he cares more for Park Ha, but reality after grief can be rocky. What I'd prefer more of character development so I could buy it all.

It's like a game of cat and mouse. The cats are winning.
To be honest I enjoy seeing how everything is weaving together. It's fun. However, if Se Na keeps getting away with things it will become tiring fast. She's unlikable, so even when her "heart" is broken I didn't care.
I'm also wondering if Se Na and Lee Gak are supposed to get their dead selves' memory back? Since the fantasy elements are just a side note I find it hard to believe. But I'm gussing that the actions of the present are supposed to echo the past. If so that means someone will try to kill Se Na again. Or is it really Boo Yong floating in the water? The yellow butterfly is supposed to be her. (Maybe body swapping?)
While I still have issues with how many drama tropes are floating in, I'm very curious how it will all end. There's enough things that I do like about this drama that I don't think I can quit.

. . . drop this show.
No really. The evil step sister for the sake of being evil. Why does she feel so threatened by this girl? Why does she feel guilty for the wrong she did that led to a daughter not only losing her memories of her father, but to lose her father once found? What is her motivations. Jealous step sister is not enough. And it's become a pet peeve of mine. Not just for dramas, but for stories in general. Why do woman have to hate woman just because? If you're going to make that as part of the plot, be prepared to flesh it out.
Not to mention that suddenly Lee Gak has decided to be Tae Yong! That does not make Lee Gak a good guy. He's now going to be taking advantage of this poor old woman's grief. Though he is taking advantage of Park Ha's hospitality. Or are they really going to go with the idea that Tae Yong, dead apparently for 2 years, is now possessing time jumped Lee Gak's body? That would be bad either way.
Normally this is where I leave a drama. Oh, boy do I want to. But I've heard such amazing things about it. I am going to do the unthinkable. I'm going to try a few more episodes out. Maybe up to 7. There's promise, I see it. Maybe it can be argued I'm over thinking things. Nah. It's just under written. So for there are too many tropes! Somehow a unique idea is taking the path of super predictability. The 4 guys being from the past is just a minor factor in the story. A story that is underdeveloped and too busy trying to pander the same old stuff that you could find in other mediocre dramas.

Despite how disappointing this show is turning for me, I'll always look back on that elevator scene with fondness. Heck, I even uploaded my favorite picture of it. Despite there already being plenty of other screen shots. Hey, it's legendary.
The problem is for having such a unique concept behind it Rooftop Prince has been nothing but predictable. Sure I get a few laughs here and there. But the rest of the time I'm bored.
Not to mention that no one is getting developed!!!!
Park Ha is the lead. She can't stand up to people unless there these poor guys that are crazy. (At this point I don't think she believes they've time traveled. Or they haven't developed what she really believes about them.) She spends so much time yelling at them and then letting everyone else abuse her. It's tiring. And hard on my ears. Not to mention why her adopted parents aren't ever mentioned. EVER. She's been in Korea for 2 years, but nothing is said or mentioned. I'm thinking something tragic since she decided to stay? It bothers me as to why the writers aren't developing anything.
I'm going to assume that the three servants that came with the Prince aren't going to be developed. They barely even had time in this episode to be comedic reliefs and then grovel for the Prince.
Why are the villains that way? Why is this plot going exactly how I thought it would? When will the storyline of the Prince solving the murder of his Princess come in? And no I don't feel anything for his dead princess and new found princess. They're both horrible women, why would I want him to find her. The fact that she's so unlikeable makes me not care about the Prince's emotions.
Here's to the next episode.

Well this packed a punch. Bravo to In Ha for making up her own mind and for using the words that were used on her back to the person who should have heard them.
Dal Po's character is . . . sad. He barks and bites the wrong person. Then when his chance comes up he backs down.
Though I get it, Dal Po is having some serious life crisis. He needs to figure out what to do about his brother.
I really enjoyed all of the stories with the side characters. I love so many of them it's great seeing them affect the story and have their own stories going on.
Considering the episode synopsis states Dal Po reveals his identity to his brother, I'm just going to say I was very surprised that they did it so soon. I love how fast paced Pinocchio is going! Hope they can keep it up to episode 20.

Cheese in the Trap Episode 7

Seol is justifying Jung's crazy and rude behavior. Yuck. To be honest I think it needs to be delved into at this point how different Jung thinks. Because right now he's not coming off very good. Especially with all those questions as to why he would make Seol's life hell like that. Just for saying that Jung could have easily posted those things online, and in away he did. He played with someone else's emotions to make it happen. He toys with a lot of people to get what he wants.
I won't lie, there where a lot of cute couple moments. But if Seol is having these kind of doubts that she won't even let him kiss her (that was one awkward would be kiss scene!) then she needs to end things.
Especially now that the stalk storyline is introduces. Being stalked is serious and I can't believe it would suddenly become part of the story now. That kind of things affects you and I don't think Seol would be the type to suppress the memory until it comes up.
AND if you're being stalked you report it right away and document everything! Report everything. In the states it's so hard to get someone convicted of stalking, not sure about South Korea. That's why it's important that you do not stay quiet about it.
That said there's a lot of crazy stuff that got piled into the story. The perverted panty thief. The classmate who now wants to look like Seol and is become obsessed with her. Plus, this crazy stalker.
It was a mess. I still have found but the writing is brushing of important things and can easily become very convoluted at this point. This is over the top dramatic drama fodder. I'll admit I'm still enjoying it. (I do love my soap operas after all.) At this point I would say that Eun Taek is the real dream guy of this drama. Bo Ra is one lucky lady!

I really enjoyed the conversation between Seol and Jung had in Seol's dream. It was a great to see Seol thinking about it from his view point. Not to mention her comment once she woke up. I loved the visual of the table pushing them further apart as they argued. Very dramatic!
Wow, this episode had a lot going for it. Despite myself I'm enjoying the love triangle. I'm sure a lot of the stuff is Jung being mistaken and taken the wrong way. But I definitely have second lead syndrome now!! Sadly though I like Jung now too! How did this happen?
Hong Seol has become a pretty amazing character. She's very well developed and those scenes where she opens up to Jung are wonderful.
I have some questions as to Seol's stalker suddenly appearing. In the flashback of him he stated that Jung sent him to her. Then in present day. First off I get that she doesn't side with stalker. However, if that crazy stalker said that before that would have been the first thing I'd have asked Jung before dating him. Stalkers are scary, and this one seems drama style scary, so why wouldn't that have been at the forefront of her mind? Memory suppression.
At this point I'm really surprised by how much I enjoying Cheese in the Trap. It's a slower pace, but I am feeling all the emotions! I want to know what's happening with In Ho! Why is this guy looking for him? What is the misunderstanding between Jung and In Ho? Yadda, yadda. Clearly I'm hooked.
(I loved Jung's flashback memory as to when he started liking Seol. It was terribly cute!)

I have some questions as to Seol's stalker suddenly appearing. In the flashback of him he stated that Jung sent him to her. Then in present day. First off I get that she doesn't side with stalker. However, if that crazy stalker said that before that would have been the first thing I'd have asked Jung before dating him. Stalkers are scary, and this one seems drama style scary, so why wouldn't that have been at the forefront of her mind? Memory suppression.
At this point I'm really surprised by how much I enjoying Cheese in the Trap. It's a slower pace, but I am feeling all the emotions! I want to know what's happening with In Ho! Why is this guy looking for him? What is the misunderstanding between Jung and In Ho? Yadda, yadda. Clearly I'm hooked.
(I loved Jung's flashback memory as to when he started liking Seol. It was terribly cute!)

"Shut up and stop giving me a headache already!"
Min Ja, I feel ya. I feel ya. Healer is out of control! I get that his mother's life was on the line, but by rushing in like that he could have really put her in more danger. Plus, I would have thought as Healer put himself out risk to have his identity revealed he would have realized whom would be in danger.
That said the history between Healer and his mother was moving. Especially the scene where he cuts ties with her. I loved seeing him say no with his expressions. It makes me wonder how much his mother really knows about his activities? Either way moving.
This episode also reavealed some of Min Ja's past. Head of Cyber Crimes. I was wondering. Now I really want to know what it was that made her leave and become a rogue hacker?
Not to mention that Myung Hee is starting to think! I wonder how much of her medication is to keep her crippled and controlled by Moon Shik? I'm wondering how she will play the game.
Healer wasn't the only one acting weird. Yeong Shin's reaction to finding out who Healer was is disappointing. But makes perfect since and I understand where she was coming from. My vision was unrealistic, but I like that the writers kept it real.
Dear teacher. I hope he's playing Moon Shik. Please let him be fooling everyone! Please. ;_;

Healer's smile at the end was pure perfection.
This episode was great! It's really starting to pull that picture together. I like the idea that there was an original Healer and that this current one is his protégé.
Like Healer I'm very fond of Young Shin. She's well realized and I like the anthology that he used to describe her. The reason why he felt drawn to keep staying buy her side.
What bothers me is that Young Shin didn't think of having recording device audio, or video, for her "interview"! Journalists can use them and for a reporter that would be wise. I mean this guy just gave her proof! WTF! I know it's the drama way, but still.
The action scenes are so well done. Especially that scaffolding fight. Not to mention that there was actually a yo-yo tossed in and I didn't laugh as it was used as a weapon.
(Yeah, I'm going to have to buy the OST.)

Cheese in the Trap Episode 5

Wow. That was a twist. I thought this was going to be one of those shows where the cold male leads actions can be bad, but he knew that they weren't right. Instead a new idea present. Maybe Jung does think differently. Maybe he can't quite make those emotional connections, and thus understand people actions. However, blaming him for the things that have gone isn't right either. Because everyone else has done things wrong to lead them to those circumstances. Being caught and blaming others is easier.
I like the idea that Jung actually does think differently. It's very cool that more dramas are getting behind the idea of mental illness, and how others may not think the same way. It's an emotional puzzle that Cheese in the Trap is presenting.
I will say I'm very disappointed how Seol is so willing, again and again, to distrust Jung. Even though after she jumped the gun a lot and blamed him for a lot of things that he didn't do. If she just thought about it for a moment she'd realize all the hard stuff he "made her endure for a year" was caused by a jealous girl. Not to mention rude people.
It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. I'm guessing that Jung may not have had a real hand in In Ho's misfortunates, but maybe his lack empathy acts as a catalyst? I love speculating. Those flashbacks are finally happening and it's very interesting to see In Ho and In Ha's past being revealed. I can see why In Ha is that way, how she sees being a leech on people as an acceptable way to live. In Ho needs to quite enabling his sister, but I'm wondering if there's something even deeper going on there? It's all just one big tease at this point.
Taek and Bo Ra are so adorable together. It was moving to see Taek and Seol rally to Bo Ra. It's great how emotionally charged Cheese in the Trap is. Jung has becoming a very interesting character and it will be interesting to see Seol realize some things. It's not just monetary differences, he does think differently. Sadly apparently his differences are going to be making him look like a villain!
