Cheese in the Trap Episode 4
1 people found this review helpful
Second lead syndrome. It's my curse, my pain, and--sometimes--my absolute pleasure. Ah. I kept wondering how it would happen. If it would happen. Well play Cheese in the Trap. Well played.
Another great thing was how the writers played up the awkwardness of dating. Seol and Jung are very different people. So it's only natural that they clash. What I liked even more was that it was awkward for monetary reasons. Seol is poor and she's frugal. (Which I relate too.) Saving money is important. I like how even a coupon shows her how Jung is completely different. He's rich. He's use to having the best and money isn't an issue. It's something I've really enjoyed seeing so far, and love how it is shown as an issue. Seol isn't intimated or in awe of his wealth. She even questions him paying for everything, or trying to cover her extra course.
Jung is a cold character so I'm not 100% if he's picked up on that yet. But I enjoyed that that awkwardness of trying to get to know each other was there. There's miss communications and I'm curious to see him and Seol click. For him to open up and actually yield to the relationship. Especially since this episode also shows some personality traits that they both have, views that they stand on.
But I was talking about second lead syndrome before. In Ho really shines here. It's easy to fall for him with his easy personality and charisma. Especially when Seol has no problem communicating with him. They even have an amazing, fun, rain scene that just gave me the feels.
Even more importantly he doesn't just hit and run Seol with advise. He actually shows her and tells her how to stand up for herself. To not just bow and say "No it's not hard", "Yes, I'll work harder", and "I just need to work harder". It's awesome. And I love that Cheese in the Trap is saying it's a good thing for a woman--person--to thing. Even more they're showing how you can work up your courage. Standing up for yourself doesn't have to be big and showy.
So I'm at episode 4 and I still stand by my decision at episode 3. I'll be watching this drama to the end. I have a feeling that a lot of Jung's cruelness and cold demeanor is misunderstood. Growing up with people always wanting something from him, and who knows what else, has probably made him less trusting of people. I think that's why he likes Seol. She didn't want anything to do with him, and she didn't like him. It was probably refreshing. It's so refreshing how much I want all the back story now, even eager for those impending flashback. (I think Cheese in the Trap will pull them off flawlessly.) It's refreshing to just let the present story unfold and let some of the past events be mysterious. It will have more impact because we care for the characters now and already have impressions of them.
(I'm kind of sad that Seol will be moving. That door light is kind of a character now, I'll miss it.)

Cheese in the Trap Episode 3

The camera work and lighting is amazing guys. There's this one scene where In Ho and Seol are walking together. It could have been the typical scene where Jung "catches" them together. But instead as In Ho and Seol interact you can see Jung in the background. As the move he's still there getting smaller in the distance. It was moving. I couldn't believe just how well the camera work and lighting was that it intensified the scenes. Especially the ending scene. Taking that emotional cliffhanger to the next level. (I actually held my breath!)
Group projects. Ugh. Like Seol I loath them, and like her I've been in many where you're the sole person working on the project. And I've had those teachers claim that getting your partners to work on the project is part of the grade. (I call bull. In the real world those lazy asses would be fired.) It was an interesting backdrop for Seol's character growth. I like it when a characters flaws are pointed out and she sees them. And reflects on what she might want to do to improve her life. Thankfully Seol's smarts are not up on the chopping block, so we can explore other aspects.
Overall I think In Ho doesn't have a chance at this point as the third wheel. But it's a nice effort. I'm actually surprised how fast things are going with Seol and Jung. I'm wondering how things will pick up the next episode. At this point it doesn't feel too trappy. But I think Jung is still deciding on the best cheese. (If that makes any sense.) The build up for the backstory between In Ho and Jung is well done. I am actually looking forward to these flashbacks.
Overall episode three is another wonderful episode. The series so far is pretty cliché, but the solid writing and interesting cast is keeping it fresh. I love how real the characters are and how they're actions/reactions fit well with what is going on. (Somebody better have given Bo Ra a hug.) Usually I wait until I've watched episode 4 to call it, but I'm doing it now.
Looks like I'll be watching this drama to the end!

Oh My Ghost Episode 11

The chemistry and emotions here between the characters is pure magic! Maybe some viewers will find this to be slow. However, the characters and plots are developing. There are no flashbacks. You know those annoying dramatic ones where they flash mindless amounts of the couples romance to intensify things. So far this a dash of flashback as Sun Ae tries to regain her memory and then a tiny flashback on the romance between them. OK, so that's there. But it was short, sweet, and there was actually a romance to flash in on.
What I love more is that this isn't just a romance between Bong Seon/Sun Ae and Seon Woo. Bong Seon and Sun Ae have developed a relationship. Bong Seon see's Sun Ae as not only an older sister, but as one of her first real friends. One who knows her struggles with ghosts and what she's done to hide herself from people. While it's not as developed as their relationship could be, I appreciate the writers going there none the less.
Oh My Ghost captures my heart in that there is legit romance. A lot of times with dramas we're lucky if the leads ever truly get a decent kiss, let a lone hold hands on purpose. I enjoy that they've had real kisses, plenty of cute physical contact, and that sex is part of their discussions. It feels more real. It helps that I do find the characters developed enough that I've made an emotional connection with them. Especially now that things are getting scary. Sun Ae is suspicious of her death, and now Seong Jae is even more clued in! Not to mention that Sun Ae's time is running out. There's also the pressure of Bong Seon not really being in residence enough to carry on her romance without Sun Ae, not to mention that her cooking skills have not developed. It's a minor thing, but I'm pretty sure things are going to start crumbling down. The suspense is killing me!

Being possessed is scary. I had wondered how the possession thing would work in Oh My Ghost. So after laughing and having a good time while poor Bong Seon was possessed it was a like getting a bucket of ice water to the face. The writers and actress did a good job showing viewers the terror of losing time. Falling a sleep and then waking up a whole week later. Not remembering what had happened or . . . anything. It's scary!
This episode does a good job of fleshing out Bong Seon, but more as a fearful person. She calls her grandma. But clearing the advice of ignoring ghosts has never worked. Her grandmother is a shaman, why don't they have the knowledge to protect themselves? Clearly being scared all the time is not a solution.
Seon Woo definitely shines here! He may seem like a mean person, but he's got a heart of gold. It's nice to see how much he cares. Giving second chances and going out of his way to help employees. Seon Woo is so awkward and charming that I adore him. His little finger snapping is so cute!
That said I'm enjoying all the sub plots and other plotlines. The Shaman who is supposed to be looking for Sun Ae is a curious woman. She has a gift but she's definitely working Seon Woo's mother for money. And I'm very curious as to whether or not Seong Jae is possessed. Something is fishy there! And I love it.
Overall another solid episode. My biggest complaint is Sun Ae. It never registered to her how scared Bong Seon was. Maybe if she apologized and felt remorse they could talk. Figure some things out. The way the episode's cliffhanger left things made me . . . annoyed. I get it it's an emergency, but Sun Ae is not coming out looking good from this. Despite all this the Oh My Ghost is still a really warm and funny series. Here's to hoping that Sun Ae and Bong Seon will soon be friends and can help each other out.

There are definitely a lot of players here now. They're balanced out well enough here that things don't feel too crowded, while giving us a little bit more on these side characters. Or as I fondly like to think of them as "suspects". As the mystery is who and where are Min and Jun Yeong.
It's very interesting how things are being handled with Ji An boldly stating that she is Lee Hyun's stalker. And she admits to others that she's stalked people. Even stranger is how she so casually talks with her aunt about it. Debating whether she should just start up stalking Lee Hyun again. It's so creepily talked about that I don't feel total disgust with her right now. Even when her aunt reveals that Ji An stalked Lee Hyun whenever he came back to Korea. And that clearly the stalking started when they were children. WTF?
Anywho someone does not want Lee Hyun to get any information, that he's not supposed to have on Jun Yeong. It feels less smart that he would flee a crime scene rather then just be cleared. Not worthy of his intelligence. Sure it's probably going to go he solves the crime or at the very least clears himself. All that hiding suspense stuff. Though seeking Ji An's help seems a dumb move with her lack of investigate of skills. Especially since she's been demoted. (And if I was Ji An I'd turn him in as she could only get in more trouble from there. And the demotion was enough of a price to pay that she should have no debt to Lee Hyun.)
Overall this was a solid episode. The writing is still on point and is handling adding new characters well. I enjoy the slow reveal and character development. Sometimes info dumps can bog down the progression of a show. I Remember You is so well paced. Every episode is a rush!

What solid writing I Remember You has! Each new episode is even more solid with the last. It's weaving quite the tangled web. So Jun Yeong is definitely baiting Lee Hyun. Who is Yeong now? Especially since he's stating he's already in Lee Hyun's life. How long ago did he alter that tape. How is Min, Le Hyun's younger brother, tying into everything? Is that Min's art? Lee Hyun seemed to have strong suspicions that Min would be the man captured.
Which makes me think that my theory that Min may have been doing all those things and Lee Hyun was covering up seem like a possibility. Did Yeong find Min and now their in cahoots? So many questions! And all created by just the first three episodes.
That being said I already dislike how incompetent Ji An is at her job. Though in all fairness the entire unit is not good at their jobs. It's understandable that the writers want Lee Hyun to shine and for his brilliant intelligence to wow us. It just seems so annoying that this team wouldn't no some of the basics on solving a murder case. Or how to link up serial killings. I'm no cop/detective but even I know the basics.
At this point there is some romantic . . . twinges. But I wouldn't call I Remember You a romance. This is a mystery thriller! Everything about his drama has been pure perfection for me. Lee Hyun is becoming one of the most well developed male leads that I've viewed in dramas. Sadly we know little about Ji An and so far she's just a generic character. But since the show took expert steps in setting up Lee Hyun and the world he's living in I have faith that other aspects will soon be fleshed out. Especially with this latest cliffhanger.
Overall I Remember You has surpassed any expectations that I had for this show. It's currently one of my fave shows airing. And if things go right it's most likely to score a spot on my favorite dramas list.

I Hear Your Voice keeps tugging on my heartstrings. Many times in this episode I was a hairs breath away from letting my moist eyes cry me a river. But I sniffed back my tears. And fell in love with Prosecutor Seo. She's truly become a magnificent women. Sure some of her views are stubborn and cruel. But she's taken what she doesn't like about herself and made herself into a better person. She also shows that she can learn and sympathize. That cruel girl we met years ago is gone. That said I have to commend the actress Lee Da Hee playing Prosecutor Seo--no Do Yeon she's earned it--of showing an ice queen and conveying heart and conviction all at once.
Hye Sung irritates me with her inability to not relate to others. To fathom that not everyone feels and thinks like she does. And for not hearing So Ha's voice yet again. Clearing something is bothering him, but she's so busy in her own silly, shallow, thoughts that she's not paying attention. It's one of her greatest weaknesses. One that he's constantly learning a lesson from. Maybe one day it will stick. For now . . . I just except her flaw. And resist the urge to bop her head on my screen.
The cast of IHYV is amazing! Everyone is doing there part and just when you think they couldn't deliver better they do. Especially as the "end" draws near. Everyone is in play here in the episode and it works. Even if their part seems unnecessary it all fits and every character is growing and developing. Bravo! Bravo.

Everything is coming together. I even love the humor that was put into Cha's replacement.(Oh, I laughed so hard.) It was a great little treat as everything is starting to come together. It's one of my favorite parts of dramas. Normally it's awkward and things get stretched. I Hear Your Voice is crafted so well that it's all effortless.
While I've said the love triangle has been one heck of a decision from the beginning, I knew who's team I was on from the get go. Even with the writers making me fall head over heels for both men. I'm still standing by my team and I am so happy with the developments and growth of the relationship. Not to mention Hye Sung.
Ah, Hye Sung. My how she has grown! She's fearless in this episode. Her fear and doubts taking a back seat as she grows and realizes how to finally see the whole picture. Learning from everyone and realizing that she needs to grow as person. Thus creating who she wants to be. She decides whom she should love and not to doubt her choices. She's become a great Attorney, and I'm hoping we get to see more of that very soon with this case coming up. Her mother would be, no is, very proud of her.
Another solid episode. It also looks like Prosecutor Seo will finally get some more time as fate has apparently tied Hye Sung and her together. On this ending note I hope JUDGE Seo gets what's coming to him. Way to late, but I love a good just karma flip.

OK, I'm a bit of a snob about flashbacks. Very few stories ever use them right. This episode didn't do too bad. However, there were multiple flashbacks of one event and that weighed it down heavily. Some were used very well to help flesh out the situation and characters. So if I think about it they actually were very well done. It's just it nocked my enjoyment down a little bit. As I've said I am a flashback snob. There were a number of them that could have been cut down on.
Now other then those slowing bits this was a great episode. The amnesia has served it's purpose in showing that both characters do genuinely love each other. Most importantly it shows that Soo Ha still loves Hye Sung no matter what. So it was a pretty good confirmation.
This episode is bring in a lot of crazy stuff though. Hints about why Soo Ha's father may have been killed. A chance meeting by a certain prisoner that is briefly cut to and then totally dropped!! WHAT! But most importantly Prosecutor Seo gets some development. And I genuinely like her now. She may be flawed but she spent her 11 years making herself into the woman she truly wanted to be. She learned from her mistakes and became a pretty darn good Prosecutor. (Yeah, I'm looking at you Hye Sung. Looking at you.)
Overall the emotional suspense of this episode was great. It hurt a little to have those bad flashbacks peppered in cutting out some intensity from my announce. But I have a feeling most viewers won't have that problem. Anywho. The plot of this series is really tight, well thought up, and I'm enjoying how far the scope of this thing is going. While I'm nervous about that too quick scene, I have faith that the writers are going to deliver.

All right before I get into how brilliant this episode is I have to state how annoyed I was that Hye Sung has not made real progress. Despite the lessons she's learned. Man is she stubborn. Sure she changes her tune, but why did it take that long? Also, I hate how she still has to lean so heavily on others to do her job. Though I will give points for the fact that the tables turned and she had to help Soo Ha take the cap of his bottle!
This episode was chilling. Warming. And then chilling again! The emotions I went through! Man I feel like I went through some kind of meat grinder. Raw, yes total raw emotions. The way this series is acted and written is pure perfection. The characters click so well that everything hits so hard. Not only am I totally torn over the love triangle, but I am in so much love with the majority of the cast.
That said this episode ends on quite the cliffhanger. One that is taking this series somewhere . . . This episodes beginning foreshadowing haunts every second. Even as more lighter, heart warming, and humorous moments make up most of the episode. The writing here is superb. Make time to junk out on this episode and the next so that the cliffhanger doesn't sting so bad.

First off I should have said this in my review of episode 12. Soo Eun and Hyun Woo are adorable together! I love how they openly flirt with each other, and it's no secret they're interested in one another. While there characters aren't getting the back story I'd like or tons of other development. At least that's one thing I adore, they're budding romance. Well done.
Things are really starting to come into play. It's fun knowing who has what power and that there are still plenty of mysterious. So while we know which characters have dastardly plans it's still a mystery if all of the other characters are ignorant. It's a well crafted mystery here and I enjoy seeing unsuspecting characters interacting with our villains and not having a clue. And wondering how much all the unsuspecting characters don't know. The suspense.
Though I'm greatly disappointed that know one has figured out what the new pharmaceutical drugs and testing is about. Come on! Enough with the "vague" suspicions. They know, that's why they're researching it.
To be honest Blood was just supposed to be a guilty pleasure. But I think it's long ago proven it's worth. Especially in these later episodes where the writing is still strong and things aren't slowing down. The acting is fine, a lot better then some of the acting I've seen in many other popular drama titles. Goo Hye Sun may not be in a role that has much range, but I think she's good. By far not the worse. As Ji Sang's secret becomes more endanger of coming out the drama thickens! Who knows what will happen.
On the vamp mytho here's what we know:
- By sniffing the air vampires can see flashes into the past. But I think what it means is he smelled the other guy in the room? Poorly done.
- A vampires hunger may have something to do with the pituitary gland. (At least from what I gather from the new drug Ri Ta found to curb the hunger.)
- Vampires may have been extinct when the first infected died, but then they came back after the bones of dead vampires were dug up and a new virus created. (Cool idea!)
-Vampires can't taste, but can still eat whatever. (That would suck.)
- Ji Sang eats a condensed blend milk and albumin. And vegetables and little carbohydrates.
- Antibodies in the blood can have a negative effect on vampires.
- Red blood cells make them go crazy, but they don't need them.
- Vampire can't get too hot, makes them feel like they have flu/painful.
- UV lights still hurt their eyes, even with Ji Sang's special pills.
- They run cold, and it's painful to have a normal temperature.
- Other vampires can sense each other by hearing dolphin like sonar waves. (Or scent?)
- Can they control animals? Or just dogs.
- Dawn and dusk sunlight burn/hurts. (Any other times?)
- Vampirism is caused by a virus. (VBT-01, Vampire Basic Type - 01)
- Super strength and speed.
Things are really starting to come into play. It's fun knowing who has what power and that there are still plenty of mysterious. So while we know which characters have dastardly plans it's still a mystery if all of the other characters are ignorant. It's a well crafted mystery here and I enjoy seeing unsuspecting characters interacting with our villains and not having a clue. And wondering how much all the unsuspecting characters don't know. The suspense.
Though I'm greatly disappointed that know one has figured out what the new pharmaceutical drugs and testing is about. Come on! Enough with the "vague" suspicions. They know, that's why they're researching it.
To be honest Blood was just supposed to be a guilty pleasure. But I think it's long ago proven it's worth. Especially in these later episodes where the writing is still strong and things aren't slowing down. The acting is fine, a lot better then some of the acting I've seen in many other popular drama titles. Goo Hye Sun may not be in a role that has much range, but I think she's good.

Wow! What a way to end episode 6. Soo Ha contemplating taking Min's (the man who killed his father) life. And Min having doubts about what he might do to Hye Sung's mother. Both were so riveting to watch. And in the end chilling to see the results.
Topped on top of Hy Sung's choice to turn in her client(s) when she is an attorney and not a prosecutor. To be honest I figured the twins had done it for something like that. It bothers me that Hye Sung not only broke her Attorney code/law, but that she still can't ever look beyond what's put in front of her. I want so bad to see a FEMALE prosecutor or attorney that is capable. Maybe that's what Hye Sung will develop into. Clearly this is a lesson. One I hope the writers and Hye Sung take to heart. Because when you decide to become an attorney you will not always be representing the innocent. But it's still your job to do the right by your client.
As you can see I threw out an allusive 10/10 rating. Because this episode was pure magic! There are no words to describe how much I adore Soo Ha. Even if I get annoyed with the need to make Hye Sung so weak she can't even twist the cap on a water bottle . . . for reals. Hye Sung is still one of the most well developed female leads out there. While she does annoy me, she is learning. She has a personality and I can see her growing before me. NOt only that but this love triangle is killing me! Ha!

OOooo, so despite Soo Ha being exposed to the ugly truth about his first love he can't help but still be in love with her. What a touching scene. What's worse is that Cha is a pretty amazing guy. Ahhhh! I'm so torn now. Both of the love interests here are amazing.
Some of the worst things about being a lawyer/attorney (to me) would have to be guessing games as to whether or not your client is guilty. That would be so tough. Even tougher would be to know if they're innocent and they're put away. Or if they're guilty and you help them get away. What a way to take this particular case!
My gripes are that Hye Sung still doesn't do her research. She's always getting surprised. That wouldn't be so bad if I felt like she was a competent lawyer. And that scene where she couldn't open the can that had a tab! Soo Ha had to open it. I get it we want the male lead to me manly and "protect" the woman. But for dramas sake! Women can open canned goods. Maybe I wouldn't be so upset if Soo Ha wasn't so blatantly using Soo Ha to do HER job and then dump him if she finds a new protector. *shakes head*
Oh, and why would someone being hunted by a psycho not assume that anyone they loved, especially family relations, aren't in danger? Really? They are psycho murderers out to get you. Tell your mother.
Overall another fabulous episode! The mini flashbacks into Soo Ha's childhood are moving. Even though this time around not much is revealed, but it helps to emphasize how Hye Sung's current and past kindness are moving him. What I love more is the feels I Hear Your Voice gives me. I feel warm and fuzzy, and tend to have a smile on my face the majority of each episode.
Clearly the next episode is going to have to take a turn for some dark themes as Hye Sung has some challenges ahead. Both ethically and morally. Good luck girl!

A very strong episode. The writing is everything I search for in a drama. Establishing anti-heroes and the struggles ahead. The characters. The best part is that the humor doesn't try to hard and I find myself smiling soooooo much.
There was a bit of a huge issue here.
Hye Sung was wrongfully accused. Everyone assumed she was guilty, well people just wanted to assume she was guilty after one person obviously lied. So when the same time of case comes before her she simply does nothing. Telling the girl that she should plead guilty. Even after hearing a suicide attempt from her client she doesn't care. No. What she cares about is that her nemesis from years ago is suddenly on the case. But she's not suddenly on it. No. (Again.) Hye Sung didn't even look into the case enough to see who the prosecutor was!
Hye Sung is a very cool character. I like that she stuck to her guns no matter what. She's stubborn, but I thought she at least could care. I can see that her past experiences have injured her. Yet she never once states it. It's simply established that she's lazy and wants money. She does have some doubts about her stance helping her client, that maybe she is also wrongfully accused. But I dislike that she doesn't stand up for her until it's clear her nemsis is involved and still looking down on her.
Will see because Hye Sung has so much potential.
So Ha is amazing here! And I think I've found another actor to drama stalk. Watching So Ha is a treat. Especially that smile when he finally finds Hye Sung. Or when he saves his classmate. Oh, and basically every scene. Despite finding out that the woman he's been searching for over 10 years is definitely not what he expected, he's going to keep pushing. He will protect her, maybe even from herself.
Not as strong as the first episode, maybe because it's clear how Hye Sung is jaded and not truly likeable. Funny thing is this is the type of character many lead males are modeled after. I like the moments where Hye Sung is warm and alive with her mother. Clearly Hye Sung's trailers have dampened some of that passion that made her want to testify against a murder. But I have a feeling that So Ha will help her get that back. I'm still convinced that this show is going to be a favorite.

Oh, I had my suspicions the instant this character popped up. Too innocent and sweet, too awesome. So I ended up falling in love with this character, and had doubts to whether they'd take said character there. Oh, but they did. Despite my suspicions I was still blown away, and even better is the way that THIS character ties in to the whole plot. Amazing writing! It pleases me beyond belief when a who can actually create characters and plots that fit, and don't just feel patchy as they try to fit it in. It's legit.
That said I'm liking who Ji Sang is starting to wonder if using VBT-01 to help humans is a good idea. Clearly the way Jae Wook is going about it is evil and immoral. However, what if the medicine that could be created could save the lost. Give those medical cases hope? I love a good moral dilemma.
Now to a lighter note the humor here was fantastic! Ri Ta getting jealous! Ji Sang and Ri Ta are a remarkably adorable couple and I like how for them this is new territory and they're just muddling about trying to figuring things out.
Even cooler is two supporting characters I love finally meet. Hyun Woo and Soo Eun! Not sure why, but I've wanted them to meet each other from the get go. So not only do I get to see Hyun Woo outside of Ji Sang's house, but he meets Soo Eun. The slow motion video of them meeting. To their adorable flirting is brilliant and I desperately want to see them as an item. Magic!
Blood is still going strong and I enjoy how solid the writing is. The way the characters are developing and connecting wonderful. Blood was supposed to be just a silly guilty pleasure. One I laugh off because of my love for vampires. But I like that the story, vampire mytho, the medicine, and characters are creating pretty solid show. There's no guilt in like this one!
On the vamp mytho here's what we know:
- Vampires may have been extinct when the first infected died, but then they came back after the bones of dead vampires were dug up and a new virus created. (Cool idea!)
-Vampires can't taste, but can still eat whatever. (That would suck.)
- Ji Sang eats a condensed blend milk and albumin. And vegetables and little carbohydrates.
- Antibodies in the blood can have a negative effect on vampires.
- Red blood cells make them go crazy, but they don't need them.
- Vampire can't get too hot, makes them feel like they have flu/painful.
- UV lights still hurt their eyes, even with Ji Sang's special pills.
- They run cold, and it's painful to have a normal temperature.
- Other vampires can sense each other by hearing dolphin like sonar waves. (Or scent?)
- Can they control animals? Or just dogs.
- Dawn and dusk sunlight burn/hurts. (Any other times?)
- Vampirism is caused by a virus. (VBT-01, Vampire Basic Type - 01)
- Super strength and speed.
