I Hear Your Voice Episode 7
1 people found this review helpful
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.

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!

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.)

I cried. A few tears after my sniffling. But who'd have thought that Blood would ever create such a moment--the wedding--where I would! It totally threw me. It was a beautiful moment and what a way to showcase Ji Sang's warm heart. It also really made me so fond of Ri Ta.
To be honest I find Ri Ta and Ji Sang to be so sweet, awkward, and cute together! Especially when she backs him up over the blood samples. When they go out to eat and she comes up with 100 Q&A on vampires. (Which helped me add things to the mythos list. However, I will not be adding the bathroom part since if you eat, it has to come out!) Plus, the wedding where she made Ji Sang go up as the groom.
Speaking of! Wow, what a way to take this tear inducing moment and turn it into fear! Not to mention that cliffhanger. Blood is surprising me on all fronts. While I have a suspicion as to what the aunt and uncle's secret might be, I enjoy that the show is trying to make a complex show and still keep a strong story going. What a rush! Everything feels like just the right kind of blend for a this vampire drama. Espeically since the vampire mytho behind Blood is coming out!

This was a slower episode. Despite having to say goodbye one of my favorite of the Bad Boy Gang, I shall miss is funny/dramatic faces. (Even his hair had been growing on me.) Even, despite Jay Wook making his move to instigate himself in Ji Sang's life.
Don't get me wrong, this episode does a lot of developing the story. And some very cool tie ins to how everyone is "playing the game". Even people we thought would be minor players. It also helped to really develop Ri Ta and her relationship with Ji Sang.
Overall I'm starting to crave this show like these vampires crave blood! I look forward to getting my next fix! I'm still really bumped that nothing has been done to develop Hyun Woo (Ji Sang's "brother", I hope I got the name right.)

Back to the island where we first met! Well one part of the chase is done. It's kind of sweet that only one party knows that they've already met. It makes things more humorous, and as I've said sweet. Despite my initial reaction to Ri Ta she's groan on me. Ri Ta and Ji Sang may not be burning with the heat, but they're a cute couple right now and who know by the time the show is over they may have some real chemistry. Either way I enjoy the slow build up between the too.
Part of my need for more on side characters was even answered. A flash back for Jae Wook involving an old patient helped to create some humanity. Though in the end it's clear his old mentor is right, man is delusional and trying to justify his need for power.
I enjoy the medical twist playing out where blood not only becomes Ji Sang's enemy from his need to have it. But because the pills he was taking to suppress the cravings have now made it his weakness by literally making him weak and paralyzing him.
That plus the big play by Jae Wook makes for one heck of an episode, and cliffhanger! And I have to say that despite everything that is going on I'm glad the medical relationship of vampirism being a disease, and the fact that all of the characters here are pretty much doctors, is still very much a part of the show. Medical dramas have always been a weakness of MINE. Toss vampires into the mix, and I'm a happy woman!
On the vamp mytho here's what we know:
- Vampire can't get too hot. (As in normal people temp.)
- UV lights still hurt their eyes, even with Ji Sang's special pills.
- They run cold. (But why sleep on an ice bed and take ice baths? Do they heat up when left to their own devices?)
- Other vampires can sense each other by hearing dolphin like sonar waves.
- Can they control animals? Or just dogs.
- Vampirism is caused by a virus.

Anytime a character is working out the truth behind the vampire, you know that they are a vampire, it always thrills me. It's something about the chase. So as Ri Ta is putting the pieces together, I can't help but get this thrill! What I love even more is that Ri Ta's friend drops her real name and Ji Sang hear's it in passing. It rings a bell . . . but why should he know that name?
Yes! It's two fabulous build ups! Drama! Overall this show is awesome. It's not a brilliant piece of work, but another vampire show out of South Korea for me to love! The medical drama aspects of it sweeten the deal.
The players in the show are all interesting and I enjoy finding out what "game" there playing and as one character says it "which game the big players are playing". At this point I am craving a lot more details about certain characters such as Hyun Woo (that's Ji Sang's brother/friend?), Il Nam and a few others. However, each episode is so packed that I can't begrudge the slow reveal of information on them.

*Somehow my original review got deleted when I hit edit.*
Overall I was really disappointed that Ji Sang went after the bad guys. Part of me felt like he should have felt like he was being baited. However, my revenge hungry side can't totally agree with that. Go. Fight. Win!
Jae Wook's "games" are definitely interesting to watch. The actor is definitely creating a villainess character that I'm both drawn, and repelled by. Good job. Not to mention the faces that one guy from the Bad Boy Gang keeps tossing out as he battle Ji Sang. I'm still trying to catch his faces while watching the action scenes!
Ri Ta is becoming a bit more of a likable character here. She was funny and had pretty cute moments to intereact with Ji Sang. It looks like Ri Ta's character will be a slow build up as well as the couple. The side characters are still getting some time to intergrate into the story and that's usually a good thing, and thankfully is here.
Overall these episodes are flying by and this one is no exception! While the show is predictable and not much is a shock, it's good comfort food. It's giving drama fans everything we love about dramas, and building a solid story!

- Can they control animals? Or just dogs.
- Dawn and dusk sunlight burn/hurts. (Any other times?)
- Vampirism is caused by a virus.
- Super strength and speed.

"Mrs. Yoo. You know this pendant, don't you?"
Boom in you're face!! The moment I've been waiting for. And what a nice cliffhanger. Now to see if all my other predictions are correct. It's always an affair. Always.
Overall at this point I'm watching this show for the characters. (Yeah, I say that with every episode review.) This episode does a great job of feeding the romance here, which for the most part is neglected. To be honest none of the romances here have any heat. But sometimes sweet romances are just as good. After all the guys are really "becoming cuter and cuter" as the series progresses.
This episode is moving things right along for the home stretch.

Golden Rainbow Episode 15
1 people found this review helpful
It was iffy getting into the first few episodes. Over dramatized dramas are hard for me to get into. But as a drama fan I've grown and Golden Rainbow had a lot of promise. Don't get me wrong it's all kinds of crazy insane yeah-that-would-happen moments that I hope no corrupt society could let go. Justice! After I sunk into the drama and I knew everyone I was hooked. The cast of children was awesome and I was dying to figure out how all this would end. Especially Baek Won! She was the female lead that I was waiting for to shake up my drama viewing. She's super woman taking care of an entire family through all kinds of crazy hardship. Smart, hardworking, and tough. Sure she cried, but it was called for. When Baek Won cries it is for a reason.
Then the time jump happened and it all became painful. I still wanted to know how everything would end. Needed to. Which is why I clunk on desperately for as long as I could! What happened? Well Baek Won became an unbearable character. The writer rewrote her to be one of the MOST ANNOYING female leads I've had the displeasure of watching. Why? Why would they take an amazing character and do a 180 like that?
Point is the drama died, and I no longer care to find out if Baek Won develops back to her old self. Watching this episode has been like watching the past episodes, Baek Won is dead. She's not coming back.
Plus, having Kim Han Joon rejoin his family was horrible. The man's "kindness" is killing them. His kids pulled themselves together and watching him setup their destruction was too much. In fact, most of the character became unbearable with the time jump. Ones that were annoying became painful to watch.

You're All Surrounded Episode 14
1 people found this review helpful
How is it possible that actress Go Ah Ra (Soo Sun) could not respond to the freaking amazing talents of Lee Seung Gi (Dae Gu)? Lee is an amazing actor, but there is one thing that as a girl fan I'd never get tired of even if he was a bad actor. What is it? Lee kissing! Anyone or anything! No really. If he kissed his own freaking arm it would be hot as heck to watch. Because Lee can kiss act like no one else!
So I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say it was probably the director who told Go Ah Ra to remain cold as a fish. You know where the girl half of the kiss doesn't do much. Because despite it being a cold kiss, Lee is working his magic. He can't do cold! Never! And I can't believe Go Ah Ra wasn't all up in that! There's secret hot kissing footage somewhere.
Rant ended. Reviewer in.
The kiss scene was setup very cute and made up for that "accident" kiss from the beginning. It was great to have the girl make the move, and the guy warm up to it. Plus, everyone else's reactions! Priceless. This cast makes the show!
Overall the villains "win" because Soo Sun's mom is nice. (Push over.) It doesn't really do much to setup up or progress the mystery. Maybe if your bad at predicting plots it will be enough. But I've predicted waaaaaaaay ahead by now and it's all going according to standard boring scripts that have already been done before.
The detectives here made the episode. Pulling together for Soo Sun's mom and their interactions both caring and humorous. Some small ground is broken in new development for the characters, so I'm happy enough for now.
Plus, with that ending and only six more episodes left! Things are going to have to move fast!

Bride of the Century Episode 1
1 people found this review helpful
To be honest I'm quite confused with when the beginning stuff of the episode took place, to how much time has passed. So that's my first big gripe.
The second is that the camera shots are ambitious, but . . . cheap? Tacky? Something seems off about the filming of this first episode. Along with the fact that some of the acting is super cheesy. Even for a drama.
However, it's pretty fun. Doo Rim is going to be a strong female lead and I just can't help but loving them when I stumble across them in dramas. It's already clear that Lee Hong Ki is beyond ready to shed those silly boy roles he always has. Oh, he is great as Choi Kang Joo the cold and aloof lead, with serious smarts and sadly no people skills. Fans can be happy with his leading role debut.
Even with the initial cheesy acting and bumpy start things are setup quite nicely for how events fall into place. And having already season episode 2 and having things turn out much more polished, things to get better.

Birth of a Beauty Episode 1
1 people found this review helpful
Birth of a Beauty is a K-drama clearly inspired by many other dramas. Sometimes that can be a bad thing, and others it can totally working. Blending two of my favorite drama things: the "beauty transformation" and revenge!
Already it's clear that Birth of a Beauty has more ideas tucked in, but I won't waste time picking them apart. I will say that for the first part of episode 1 I was a little lost, the story telling does not flow smoothly. And the description on Dramafever had me thinking the storyline was something else. So to say it was a rocky start is an understatement. After pushing through and things clicking together it definitely works.
The female lead is so WRONGED that it goes beyond dramatized, and I love it when dramas do that. So that any revenge hijinks from here seem completely acceptable. We all love the drama. It's extremely over the top in this first episode and it will be interesting to see how things settle down for the next 20 episodes, because if every episode is this crazy it could get really tiring.
Overall I like Han Ye Seul as Sa Ra, well soon to become Sa Ra. It's interesting how they through in an amnesia bit and then sad how they made her "revenge" idea only be that she's now beautiful. Clearly Han Tae Hee is using Sa Ra, cause he really has done his homework on how to get revenge for Sa Ra. I'm excited to see how that plays out because the blurb for the drama is clearly not doing this show justice.
Long story short I'm in for episode 2.
