Love Me If You Dare Episode 8

We're still working this case. Ugh. I do love the buildup of the overall arc and the pace is allowing for great character work between Bo and Yao. But. But this case/mystery was so simple. I saw it before Bo even transferred in as CEO. Heck, I guessed things with the suicide flashback.
I'm sure viewers who aren't good at predicting plots won't mind. But as someone who can easily do so it's annoying.
Hopefully episode 9 will put it all to rest.

The ponderous and slower pace suits the show so far. This episode shows how clever and observant Yao as she finds out that the numbers mean "Hi Simon". That there is something dangerous really surrounding Bo.
It was also pleasant to see some of the international ties and the serial killer obsessed with Bo. The build up for this show is incredible.
At first I wasn't thrilled with how the pace slowed down, but I think when things really start to get going it's going to be a wild and crazy ride. These beginning episodes are allowing the build up of both Yao and Bo. Not to mention their relationship.

Actually this was even slower than the last episode, and I'm a disappointed by how predictable this was. I didn't quite expect that much "dramaland" trope to enter this criminal investigative drama that was borrowing so heavily from US shows.
That said despite the predictableness--so slow--I loved that development of Yao and Bo. They have chemistry! As they slowly get to know each other I feel the bonds growing. I love that Yao tells Bo off and isn't afraid to tell me no. It's probably why he likes her. From day one she stood her ground against him, but knows when to let it go.
Overall I was disappointed by the direction of this plot. Sure I guest it, but I was hoping for more. I'm really happy with the development of the characters. Maybe because it's longer than what I've come to expect from K-dramas the length of this drama has more room to meander. (Though no matter the episode length I still want clean/tight plot.) This episode at the very least kept me smiling. Bo's side ways gazes, and many smirks, kept me laughing. Especially when they were picking out a bed and then the elevator scene!

There is something very captivating about this drama. All day I was anticipating watching this drama. it was slower than the first 4 as it focuses more on the human part and the characters present. I also believe it's setting up a killer at Jian Yao's new job.
I see why the plot went that way, but it also feels like a cop out. However, in the long run it will make things a lot easier for the show.
What I do love is that the feeling of Bo (Simon Bo!) being hunted intensifies. Not to mention that he receives pictures and a message. Gosh, all this teasing is driving me crazy! Is it the guy who had him imprisoned? Some government agency trying to intimidate him into helping them? What is it!? I love the suspense, and the build up.
It's intriguing watching someone such as Bo realize that he's jealous. That he wants Yao for an assistant. But he doesn't realize that he wants her friendship, let alone something more. The build up between them getting to know each other and caring for what the other likes is refreshing. Especially since it's not one sided.
Overall I great stepping stone for the show.

Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 9
0 people found this review helpful
So happy the writer decided to not drag out what happened to Joon Pyo, especially since it was so clear from the beginning. The strength is in the characters and I loved every moment of it. Ah, bromance! The scene with drunk Joon Soo was so moving. I hope that no matter where Beautiful Gong Shim goes Joon Soo and Dan Tae can stay best buddies.
I loved all the reminders of Dan Tae that plagued Gong Shim while she was gone! Especially that song. I was a little disappointed about the outcome of her job, but I think it was a smart move to avoid a time jump.
I'm curious how the writers will let the big reveal happen now that someone knows a bit about what happened to Joon Pyo. Part of me is so sad that Joon Soo has become the poor second lead, but the show has developed Dan Tae so much that I can't help but hope for him. I love it when the lines blur and both male leads are worthy of the female lead. Even more that both male love interests have serious bromance and they really care for each other.
Please, please don't let those two grow apart! This may have been a slower episode, but it packs an emotional punch that I loved. Every time I see a sunflower now I will think of blooming self esteem and budding friendships, or love.

Hmmmm, a tortoise what crime solving show that's been on for a while has a pet tortoise? Considering that Love Me if You Dare is a bit like an homage to all the crime solving shows, though really Criminal Minds is probably the big one. Though I am finding a lot of Elemental vibes.
The real treat of Love Me if You Dar is that the murder(s) doesn't have to be solved in one episode. It can take its time to build up, especially the characters. I love the character depth that is being built. It's slow, but very satisfying.
Not to mention that I look forward to anytime Zi Yu gets called. What will he be doing? First it was SWAT training, sky diving/parachuting, boxing, and what next!? It's so much fun.
I adore Jian Yao, she's such a well thought out and compelling lead. (Hey, I wouldn't want to see the bodies either.) I wonder how far she will go as an apprentice. The cinematography is lovely, but then there's these low ground shots that seem to be used to show off Jian Yao's legs instead of a dramatic scene. It feels weird. Overall this show is headed in the right direction for me.

This drama is getting really cool, epsiecially as the writers acknowledge all of the criminal shows that have probably influenced it. Not to mention the addition of the "Nighter Rider" care Andy. I love a show that is aware of itself.
There's something very compelling about the cast. Especially Jian Yao and Bo Jin Yan. The more I watch them interact I'm captivated. I can't wait for the romance that should develop.
The setup for the plot is interesting as we get the since that Bo is being hunted. He's clearly resting, or hiding, from the scary events that were flashbacked to in episode 1. I also like that it's been weaved with getting to know Bo and his work. I feel like Yao will take on a Watson role much like in US TV show Elemental. Which is a great idea to me.
Overall I think this a very great idea and I'm eager to see where the show goes. And on a side note I think Jian Yao's sister is so cute!

Wow, I didn't expect her to blurt that out at the end! *sighs* There's no way anything is going t happen, he's gonna run away from her.
The writing is getting better, and not relying so much on gag humor. Plus, the cast is really starting to get some great chemistry. I think Bo Nui is kind of cute, but if only she realized that some of her misfortune is due to her lack of job and how she spends her money. Not to mention that cold and aloof (yeah, we'll call it that) Su Ho is not an easy mark. Did the Shaman say it had to be him? I think the Tiger is just supposed to be that. There's more and I think I'd jump ship on Su Ho.
I like that the characters are being developed more and more. We've gotten to look into everyone's pasts a little more at a time, at least for the leads. I'm hoping the side characters that work for Zeze will become more apart of the show besides background noise.
Overall I'm interested. Lucky Romance is very unique and I do like quirky. I'll try a few more episodes to see how things go. It's strange but despite myself I find myself very addicted to Lucky Romance and I enjoy watching the cast interact. Plus, I'm waiting for everything to click in place for the plot.

The writing is getting better. Especially the scene where Bo Nui is listening in at the Shaman's and he's talking about the raccoon that has latched on to Su Ho! The cut away to the flashbacks was hilarious! I'm also in love with Su Ho's staff, they're so fun together. I hope that now that Bo Nui is working there they'll get even more screen time. I find her friend there adorable!
What a cliffhanger, to have dating Su Ho as a part of the contract! Clever.
As the Lucky Romance progresses I think the director, writer, and actors are falling into place. I think the show is still relying on random gimmicks to add humor, but I like that the writing is finally making some progress.
Bo Nui is growing on me, kind of like a fungus. Which is fine because I love fungus and mushrooms. It bothers me how obsessed she is trying to do what the Shaman says. Because if she doesn't pay those doctor bills they can discharge her sister. Which means when she has another seizures she won't be there at the hospital. Surely Bo Nui's brain can see past superstition to real world issues?
Overall I actually laughed at a few parts and things are improving. I feel a little disinterested in the love triangle because it seems so cut and dry, but who knows every drama has the potential to change the status quo. I do like the idea that both Bo Nui and Su Ho have "loves" from the past. But I have a hunch Amy and Gary will hook up.

First off that bird cry at the end was some kind of bird of prey, but that was a seagull flying. *giggles* Still it was a gorgeous and moving ending and I admire it.
I've very happy that Jung Ah's daughters abuse was finally addressed. Not to mention that we see how it affect her family and how the reacted when they found out. Most importantly Suk Kyoon and how the difference in generations is. I know when I tell people is a generation gap they laugh at me. Especially when I'm talking about my grandmother or mom. People don't realize that "change" and different view points haven't been that long ago. (For instance when my mom got her divorce from her first husband it was still a shameful thing. And I know my grandmother still couldn't talk about a lot of things to this day. Or stand up for her daughters to get them proper work gear on the farm. Even shoes.)
So I was moved that despite the age gap an Suk Kyoon's apparent dismissive and participant standing on abuse he defended his daughter. I hope he tears him apart in court.
Again Jung Ah and Hee Ja friendship is beautiful to behold! I almost bawled! I'm still waiting for the other ladies to get to shine like that. But it looks like Choong Nam is just going to medle and ruin things!
Speaking of why is Sung Jae actively wooing two women? Clearly his main prize is Hee Ja. But he's stringing poor Choong Nam along. Instead of a love triangle I hope they put Choong Nam out of her misery and give her an amazing guy!
Overall this episode addressed the physical abuse well and handled the concept of becoming "free" from it well. On all levels of abuse. All of the characters are becoming fully realized and I really adore this cast. I'm excited to see what happens with the rest of the ladies. Not to mention how Park Wan will deal with her life moving forward.

Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 2

This drama is so much fun! The save-the-girl-and-dip-hug-hold-close move was triggered by falling bird poo. Points for effort and slow motion bird poo fall. Man I laughed my butt off.
But try not to smile or laugh. This show is effortlessly funny and feel good.
I've decided the charm of Beautiful Gong Shim isn't in the drama story per se, but the characters and their development. From episode one we already know what is going to transpire between Dan Tae and Joon Soo. But I love that the writers are making the effort to let us get to know them both, AND for them to become friends!!
Man I adore Gong Shim, and I hope the writers never give her a makeover! I think she is the cutest thing ever! I just want to pat her head whenever she goes dinging that bike bell. It's refreshing that she knows when to be humble, and when to tell someone off! It's like a sweet balm to me. (Especially since some of the other dramas I've been watching have made me yell at the female leads to stand up for themselves!)
Gong Mi isn't just an evil sister. I feel for her. Think how hard you've worked to become a lawyer just to have that group of men (dogsters!) minimize you to window dressing. Gosh. I highly doubt she couldn't find work else where. Though looking into Korea's Gender Equal Employment Act (GEEA) and Korea’s labor laws things aren't peachy-keen. Despite all advancements it's still hard for females to get protection after reporting the issue. (Or even if someone--even electronic systems--reporting issues.) It makes me sad. So while it is being dramatized for the drama I think it is a high topic issue in Korea and I'm glad they're touching on it here.
Though that's not to say I wouldn't want Gong Mi to have sided with her sister. If she had just pushed for the woman to apologize it would have been over. But I guess her cover blown. But to me if someone did that to my sister I wouldn't let it slide.
Overall I love the humor and characters here! They're so fun and I love how the entire cast acts together. Especially with Gong Shim. When Gong Shim, Dan Tae, and Joon Soo I can't stop smiling. They all have such chemistry together. Though I wonder how often girls quickly "beautify" themselves and hope that the other people don't notice? Personally that's silly. But, hey, it got me laughing. It's also this fun little game to wonder when everyone will officially meet Gong Mi. Dan Tae has in passing now, and he already knows what she did to Gong Shim. But I'm curious for when Joon Soo meets her as Gong Min is "staking/stalking" his profile now.

From this day on when I look at cotton candy, or eat it, I will always be reminded how fleeting life and those we love are. That they can melt away. Thanks to this episode.
It was moving to see Min Ho make that connection as he spent time with his mother, Hee Ja. Which was a beautiful touch because Hee Ja and Jung Ah's story this episode felt off. Hee Ja and Jung Ah's friendship is something I adore about Dear My Friends. However, since the last cliffhanger I didn't care for it. I'll admit their plight made me laugh at some ponts, but overall it feels like such an overly contrived turn of events. Not to mention that it takes a away from this simple and sweet story.
So far the charms of Dear My Friends is the life of these older woman and they're family. Park Wan's drama was the big twist. But now I'm actually really nervous to see what happens. Either Hee Ja and Jung Ah are gong to jail and they're done. Or they'll drag it all out dramatically. But I'll keep the faith, I really enjoy what the show brings.
Park Wan's dramatic love story . . . makes me feel a little off. I pretty much guessed everything about it and I'm disappointed. I'm pretty sure the next episode will wrap up the rest of Park Wan's and Yeon Ha's story. I'm hoping Dear My Friends will pull a twist that won't make the whole love triangle between park Wan, Yeon Ha, and Dong Jin so . . . ugh.
This episode just didn't sit right with me. I actually enjoyed other side stories/teases more. Such as what Jung Ah's daughter was going through. Though I called it, they're phoning that plot in so far. Choong Nam is getting her GED! You go girl. Yeong Won really looks out for everyone. Especially all of the women's kids apparently.
So episode 4 has rolled around. I'm in, though I feel like the story could really fall apart. I hope the show can keep the sweet and warm feel it had up to this point. I loved the view points of the older women. I don't think they need to pull out drama twists to do it. I'm really nervous about Hee Ja and Jung Ah's stories. Not to mention that I really want to like Park Wan, but if her story goes the way I think it will . . . . well don't kill off all your lead stories! Right now I actually want more on the sub plots and characters.

Dear My Friends Episode 1

I've been very interested in this drama since I found out it was by the writer behind It's Okay, That's Love. When the synopsis finally released and it said it would be about older people I was in love. I've hung out with older people my whole life. It's clear with in the first episode that it captures the essence pretty well. The things that make them annoying, and the things that are sweet and endearing.
So far we're following a group of sisters and friends, along with ones' younger daughter. It's interesting seeing her complain and not want to be around them. All she can see is the annoying aspects of having to deal with them. But the twist is we can see the struggles of these older women and get a look through their eyes.
It's heart warming and plenty of laughs can be found. I love the idea of following this group of woman around. Seeing they're decade long grudges, friendships, and love. Now that I've viewed the episode the start of it has me really scared. Though the episode itself ends on quite a hilarious note. Even older people can act young and dump. Or maybe there's just not that much different between the ages.

Holy, wow! What an awesome ending. Their goal to make me go crazy until I watch the next one was a success. Thank goodness I can immediately watch the next one. So be warned!! You are going to want time to watch epidose 3 and 4 back to back.
What an amazing cast! Not a single actor so far feels out of place. They all fit and I really love the 2015 Cold Case Unit. I'm hoping to get more on the other two members. Soo Hyun is definitely developing into one of my favorite female drama detectives and I'm itching for the writers to develop her some more. Hae Yeoung is very fascinating as a rookie profiler. I love that despite his doubts he's still willing to believe the walkie-talkie is transmitting to the past if it could save lives. The writers handled that doubt and eventual belief well.
Signal definitely doesn't show the cops as good or bad. Oh, we know who are good guys are. But everything is gray as politics and power plays seem to rule the cases.
Some viewers may not find this episode as fast paced as the first two. True, it's setting up how Hae Yeong and Jae Han handle the transmissions. Not to mention the consequences it leads to in the present and past. To me it felt even more intense. We're still on a timeline. Not only to stop the last murder of the original case, but now the present as well.

Soo Hyun is definitely developing into one of my favorite female drama detectives and I'm itching for the writers to develop her some more. Hae Yeoung is very fascinating as a rookie profiler. I love that despite his doubts he's still willing to believe the walkie-talkie is transmitting to the past if it could save lives. The writers handled that doubt and eventual belief well.
Signal definitely doesn't show the cops as good or bad. Oh, we know who are good guys are. But everything is gray as politics and power plays seem to rule the cases.
Some viewers may not find this episode as fast paced as the first two. True, it's setting up how Hae Yeong and Jae Han handle the transmissions. Not to mention the consequences it leads to in the present and past. To me it felt even more intense. We're still on a timeline. Not only to stop the last murder of the original case, but now the present as well.

Well I had wondered when and how the Hwaseong serial murders would pop in. The first episodes case had me riveted and I'm sure that the overall case of Yoon-Jung's kidnapping is just the beginning. After all it looked as if Detective Jae Han is murdered because of that case.
When again the connection between Hae Young and Jae Han are reached it's clear that things are starting over again. It also makes me wonder if in the first episode Detective Jae Han had already been communicating with Hae Young. So now, for Jae Han at least, time is resetting and we're going back further to before he became a detective and the Hwaseong serial case is currently at 7 murders.
I know I said it before but I really liked Frequency back in the day. In fact it still remains one of my favorite movies.
The fact that Signal is so boldly setting up the plot thrills me!! Not to mention that the criminal from the first episode is clearly going to be part of the story. Who knows how big the role, but somehow she's important to what happens to Jae Han. Besides the actress is amazing as a devious criminal mind. She gives me goose bumps with the way she is portraying the character.
Overall I like the idea of the heat and discussion of South Korea's statue of limitations. I have a thing for murder/crime dramas so when I first heard of the 15 year rule of how long a case remains open and then once closed there can be no convictions as fascinating. And extremely stupid. In Signal South Korea removes statute of limitations, which echoes some of the real life changes made in 2015.
The setup of the cold case unit and how they've come to reopen the Hwaseong serial murders case fits nicely. Not too contrived. I like the people picked for the unit, though it's more of a career death sentence. The ending is amazing as a murder becomes a attempted murder when Hae Young and Jae Han accidently change the past. Bravo!
