February, March, and April Drama Reviews 2023

Strangers Again

This drama is about Oh Ha-Ra (Kang So-Ra) who is a divorce lawyer but is also divorced herself. Her ex-husband Ku Eun-Beom (Jang Seung-Jo) wants to come and work at her law firm even though he was the one that cheated on her and why they got divorced. They are forced to work together and work through their past whether they want to or not. Things get very heated and also between the other lawyers in the office.

I think this drama had good acting and chemistry between the actors and I think the plot was interesting and the cases they work on are definitely unique. I think this drama had a lot of shock value and the problems they get themselves into was a fun ride to watch. I really liked watching the relationships and characters and just watch them work things out. I think it was a fun drama to watch and it felt somewhat different then the typical meet cute, fall in love scenario. Things are messy and emotions are conflicted and it just felt there was a lot that could have been done with growth of the characters. I feel like it had a realistic vibe where the characters have damage/trauma that they can’t really get over with the power of love. It also delved into the topics of having kids and what do you need to be fulfilled in this life. I think the drama had a lot of potential to be a really good one.

Unfortunately the biggest problem with the drama is the ending. I would say it is not a happy ending and feels somewhat rushed compared to the rest of the drama. I know that a lot of people were upset about the ending and it erred on the too realistic to how relationships end up. I just decided that I was going to leave it with an open ending and that they will likely end up together eventually but that was how I going to leave it in my mind. I didn’t find myself being as upset as other people as I still enjoyed the drama despite the ending. I think they should have had Eun-Beom get help earlier then he did in the drama and have them work through their problems instead of doing that easy way out ending. Other than the ending, I don’t really have anything that I disliked about it, it was entertaining and it felt a bit more unique vibe with their cases and themes in the drama. I really did enjoy it and would say check it out if you are interested but don’t be expecting too much out of the ending!

Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist 2

This drama is a sequel to Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist and I think it would be hard to watch the second series without having watched the first season. So it is the continuation of the story of Yoo Se-Poong (Kim Min Jae) who is a royal physician who can’t do acupuncture because of a traumatic experience he had and he continues to fix people especially those that need help with their heart and mind. It starts off with an unusual case in the royal palace and Poong has to fight against the royal physicians to figure out the case. Eun-Woo has been separated from the clinic living with her parents but she has continued to write letters to everyone and is going to come back to visit. They continue to solve cases and struggle with their feelings for each other as she is a widow and because of social customs it makes it hard for them to be together.

I think it was enjoyable drama even though it seemed to lack a bit of story with the main characters. The drama also doesn’t really explain why a widow isn’t allowed to marry and it would get frustrating because they focused a lot of time and energy on this problem in this drama. They just take turns self-sacrificing for each other trope. I didn’t mind the new and different cases that were done but it didn’t feel justified to do a second season. I really find it strange since there are many dramas that people have longed to have a second season for but I doubt anyone would have really demanded a second season of this show.

It was a decent heart warming tale but I didn’t really feel or were touched with some heart fluttering moments. I just didn’t feel the love between the two of the leads and it just felt somewhat forced. I found the side stories more interesting and the people that they met and their mysteries to be the reason to keep watching this drama. It is a decent drama with a happy ending that will leave you satisfied. There were interesting elements in this drama but as a whole it still felt like there was something missing.

I would say it is very similar to the first season and if you enjoyed that, I would definitely watch the second season.

Our Blooming Youth

Warning this may contain spoilers

This drama is about Min Jae-Yi (Jeon So-Nee) who is framed for the murders of her entire family and she finds her way to Crown Prince Lee Hwan (Park Hyung-Sik) who has been sent a ghost letter cursing him. Jae-Yi begs him to help her and he agrees after she tells him that she will help him with the mysterious letter as she is very smart and helps him solve some suspicious things going on around him.

I did enjoy this drama but I think I had high hopes for this drama and was a bit disappointed with the drama. It had a lot of episodes so I was also kinda sad the way that they wrapped up the ending so quickly, they had plenty of time they could have given us more than crumbs for the ending. I also am unhappy with how they just skipped over the whole Jae-Yi’s family murders and didn’t really flesh out well the reason for the murders. I don’t know if I am just confused about it, but the whole gravestone being such a great clue seemed silly to me. A gravestone of some names doesn’t really seem worthy of killing an entire family over, first of all people can change their names and how are you going to really prove it. Secondly, why not just get rid of the evidence instead of killing a whole family, I feel that will draw more attention to this problem then anything. So overall I found the reasons somewhat confusing and the ending felt rushed and things or rules just change so suddenly. Also they try to explain all the supernatural things but the whole hair turning white overnight because they got hypnotized was just so bizarre and the weird fish was a little bit over the top in ridiculousness. Of course with all palace dramas the old men trying to steal power from the king trope is been done to death in dramas.

I enjoyed the drama and characters and enjoyed the effort into trying to make a more interesting political palace drama. I found the romance to be cute and I wish there would have been more of love triangle with the Sargent and that he would have found her earlier but overall it was good. I also appreciate a happy ending and it was satisfying to win against evil. Overall it was a decent drama but I don’t feel it as anything really new or exciting that would make it an unique drama. It also really gave me love in the moonlight vibes with the Jae-Yi dressing as a eunuch for most of the drama. It felt like a mish mash of different historical type dramas but nothing really stand out for me. People also felt like it was a very slow-moving drama which I don’t always mind but it did seem slow at times. I still did enjoy it even if there was problems.

It was a decent drama and I would recommend if you love historical dramas!

Fanletter, Please

This drama is a short drama with only 4 episodes, I would say it felt more like a movie. It stars Han Gang-Hee (Sooyoung) who is a an actress and is facing a crisis because of rumors and her image plummets. It also stars Bang Jung-Seok (Yoon Park) who has a daughter who has cancer and is a huge fan of Gang-Hee and sends her a fan letter and it ends up helping Gang-Hee.

This is a cute drama and I can appreciate it more because it was fast-paced and they get right to the point because of time. The acting is good, the kids are cute and it was pretty decent for such a short drama. I enjoyed it, it was interesting and was a fun watch. The one complaint is they never explain what happened to the mother of the child. I don’t know why they don’t make it clear because I thought we would get an explanation at the end but it was never explained. The drama doesn’t go really that deep and kinda skim over the trauma that the characters face but I understand they don’t have time.

It was a cute short drama that is easy to watch!

Bad Prosecutor

I also decided to watch this drama it stars Jin Jung (Do Kyung-Soo) who has a strong sense of justice and has no problems doing what he thinks is right to solve the case as a prosecutor. This drama felt unique and felt somewhat refreshing for a law drama as I felt like there have been many in the last while. I liked how Jin Jung approached things differently and just tackled them head on even though it may not always the best method but he really got things done and was decisive. I thought I may get bored with the subject matter but yet the cases were always interesting and was always action packed. I was pretty impressed with this drama, I loved the twists and turns and shocking reveals. It really feels like it needs a second season but there has been no news released about that. I liked the side characters as well and how they get into trouble for Jin Jung.

At times it felt really unrealistic like Jin Jung being blamed for the murders and evading capture and then the next day it could all just disappear and the way he beat up people. I don’t think you have the authority for that even if you are a prosecutor. There isn’t any romance in this drama, not that it is needed but there was a bit of flirtation so that felt like a loose end. I think overall though this is a fun ride and pretty entertaining to watch Jin Jung go after the bad guys!

I would recommend this drama for anyone that loves the unconventional hero !

Catch Up My Prince

I watched this Chinese drama about Lu Ran Ran who is an intern doctor and is told to join this game by one of her patients and she gets trapped in the game. She has to finish one of the routes to be able to leave the game and her life could be in jeopardy if anything happens to her in the game. She is a laundry maid and has to find a way for one of the main characters which are princes to fall in love with her. She falls for one of the princes but can’t seem to get his love score up.

I thought it was a fun drama with many characters and just the rules of the game really made it interesting if she has to finish a different quest and it just felt more unique than a typical love story. I have to say it really sucked me into the story at times and found it to be refreshing and interesting way to approach a drama.

I did find the ending to be kinda of a let down since they don’t spend much time in the real life and how to move past the game. Also the reason for things going wrong is due to the “bad guy” and his reasoning is a bit silly and his motives are kinda convoluted. I think they could have a done a better job of building up the story and given it a stronger base and ending.

Overall it was a fun drama that was easy to watch and one I didn’t take too seriously.

Fall Dramas Review 2015 October 11, 2015

 

The dramas I have been watching this fall have not been that many! I can’t say I have found many that I felt like watching this fall hopefully there will be more coming my way soon.

The first one that I watched was The Eccentric Daughter-in-Law or Virtual Bride. I mainly wanted to check this one out because Dasom from Sistar was in it and was curious about her acting. It is about a failing kpop girl group member that decides to do a reality tv show about living the daughter-in-law experience and how she would feel actually becoming a real daughter-in-law. The show depicts a few mother in law and daughter in law relationships which all seem pretty rough, I am not sure if there is any out there like that but it seemed pretty brutal. So that created a lot of interesting drama. The production of the drama seemed pretty low budget but yet I found the characters to still be pretty enteraining to watch. The main male lead was a bit different but yet he still grew on me. The ending was kinda meh but overall not a bad drama! Just not a great one either.

The second one that I watched was a korean webdrama Dr Ian where a psychiatrist who specializes in hypnosis treatments helps an office girl that is going through a betrayal and break up and is played by Dara from 2NE1. The episodes are super short and the whole series is short. I always love psychology dramas and it is a bit confusing I think because they tried to fit a story into such a short time frame but I still enjoyed it. I thought it was an interesting story!

The third one I watched was also a webdrama called Girl of 0Am which is about a delusioned singer that becomes in charge of a karoke business and a woman shows up after midnight and helps him with his business and also sets him back on his path with singing. Again kinda confusing of I am still unsure what exactly happened in the end. But still an interesting show!

The fourth one that I am currently watching is She Was Pretty which stars Hwang Jung Eum and Park Seo Joon and they played brother and sister in Kill Me, Heal Me and now they get to play new roles in a different drama which I love. The story is about Jung Eum was a pretty girl from a rich family but then her family went bankrupt and she also lost her beauty. Meanwhile Seo Joon was unattractive with low self-esteem and he grows up to be handsome and successful. They meet in unexpected ways and creates a lot of interesting and painful situations. I have to say I am really am enjoying this drama . I am only half way through but have enjoyed all the circumstances and awkwardness of the drama. I think it is a fun drama and would easily recommend it to watch!!

The Fifth drama that I just barely started is  Sassy Go Go or Cheer Up! I have only watched two episodes but I think it will be an amusing drama! I feel like it is a typical high school drama and all the politics happening within schools. It paints a harsh picture of what school is like for students in Korea. I am not sure if I love Eun Ji in this role. I have liked her before but I find this character a less likable one to me. It is about Eun-Ji a student in charge of a dance club which gets shut down and to win it back she has to create a cheer team and work with other students she dislikes. I am not as excited for this drama as I think I am supposed to be but oh well will probably still watch!

Everyone has gathered at the restaurant for a christmas party and Woo-Hyun and Seul-Bi are acting cute to each other. 

The final episode ends with the two of them holding hands while walking saying they are enjoying being in love in their twenties.

 

Thank You Everyone for bearing with me as I have been slow on these recaps! I have been having some personal issues which has stopped me from writing these on time!

 

So this drama is finally over! I have enjoyed this drama but I have found it to be too long! I am sure that it could have been shortened to even 10 or 16 episodes it just was not necessary. This drama was a very sweet drama with the love between Woo-Hyun and Seul-Bi and it was nice but it also had dark elements to this story with death and the character change of Sung-Yeol. Sung-Yeol’s character throughout this drama was frankly just strange at the beginning he was normal a little cold and then he warmed up, then went crazy and evil and ended with him being a playboy and really happy!? it was kinda strange and I am not sure if I really liked his character at all!! I am satisfied that it had a happy ending and that it worked out for everyone! but I mean it seems kinda unrealistic that three guys would all love her and 2 would go crazy and do evil things because she didn’t love them back! One thing that was weird is the logic in this drama with her being an angel and Sunbae saving her? how? and why did he become human? What did she think she was after she lost her memories? wouldn’t she realize she had none? What happened to the timer on her wrist? It was a strange wrap up and they sure milked her getting her memories back in this episode they literally waited for like the last 5 minutes!! One thing I have to say is that I definitely found Sung-Yeol’s dad to be really attractive! I really liked his looks and personality!!

Also just to note that Woo-Hyun was won the vote for who Seul-Bi should end up with, with about half the votes!!

High School Love On Episode 19 Recap/Summary December 31, 2014

Episode 19 starts with Seul-Bi passed out and Woo-Hyun finds Jae-Suk and stops him and from touching Seul-Bi and then punches him.

Sung-Yeol tells him about the divorce and he asks him to talk to Mrs. Ahn.

In gym class they get a group of students together and they want to come up with an idea to Young-Eun’s sister to help pay for the medical help that she needs. Da-Yeol goes to Jae-Suk and ties the yellow ribbon on his wrist and tells him he should have been nice and tells him to fit in.

Seul-Bi then talks to him that its okay to be different and to be with everyone so he doesn’t feel different and then high fives him. At the restaurant they are having a fundraiser for Young-Eun’s sister. Jae-Suk meets some other high schooler students and they want to fight him.

At the restaurant Young-Eun comes in and Ki-Soo asks about her sister and she is doing well. Young-Eun wants to work there so she doesn’t feel indebted to anyone. Woo-Hyun goes home and Mrs. Ahn asks him a bunch of questions and he feels good that he has a mom to come home to that cares about him. He tells her Sung-Yeol is back to his old self and she tells him that she took care of Sung-Yeol but never gave him her heart and all she did was give Woo-Hyun her heart but did nothing for him.

Seul-Bi and Sung-Yeol talk to his dad and tell him that they want to go out for supper today and he agrees. Sung-Yeol walks his dad out and tells him to be careful when running after fugitives and his dad is happy that he has his son back. Joo-Ah gets a call from her dad wanting money from her and Tae-Ho comes up behind her to surprise her and he can’t because of what she is talking about.

The toy goes off and she finds him and she starts crying and he tells her to hit him and she does while crying. Woo-Young, Mrs. Ahn, Seul-Bi, Sung-Yeol and his dad are at the restaurant and they all agree for the divorce because the dad didn’t make an effort towards Mrs. Ahn. They give all these reasons sarcastically about them giving up so easily so they should just divorce and they all laugh.

Woo-Young, Sung-Yeol and Seul-Bi go for a walk together and he teases Sung-Yeol that he is the older brother and he hugs him and they joke around. Later Woo-Young gives Seul-Bi his necklace that he didn’t know she had saved and he wears his mom necklace. At home Mrs. Ahn and Woo-Young talk and she asks if he think they can all live together and if she has a right after hurting him so bad. He tells her to help heal the wound and he wants to try having experiencing embracing a mother  and tell her thank you for giving him birth and that he likes Sung-Yeol a lot. Sung-Yeol packs his bag and leaves his house.

High School Love On Episode 17 Recap December 23, 2014

The 17th episode starts with Sung-Yeol’s dad telling Woo-Hyun to get out of his house so Seul-Bi, Woo-Hyun and Mrs. Ahn are leaving in Woo-Hyun’s house now. Mrs. Ahn looks around the house and finds some of Woo-Hyun’s baby clothes and pictures.

Sung-Yeol and his dad are alone at there house and his dad tells him whatever he wants he should not destroy himself to get it and Sung-Yeol tells him he has come to far to stop so just to think of him as already lost and his father protests this. Kwang-Shik teacher has come back and everyone is happy. He gives Joo-Ah the money from her boss at the convenient store that wasn’t treating her well. In class Sung-Yeol was drawing attention to Seul-Bi’s arm and then it started glowing and she hid it and Woo-Hyun threw a paper ball at Sung-Yeol to distract everybody.

While everyone was writing their tests the words disappeared on the paper and then they came back. Sunbae is out in the hallway watching this. When the papers are collected and brought forward Sunbae makes them disappear. Jae-Suk blames it on Seul-Bi because he has heard that she has magical powers and that she should get them back. Seul-Bi goes to the front and Sunbae makes them appear again.

At lunch Seul-Bi goes to sit with Ye-Na and she thinks Seul-Bi is making fun of her and she also saw the glowing so she tries to see her arm but she distracts her. Joo-Ah and Tae-Ho sit with them as well and Woo-Hyun makes her leave and Tae-Hoo follows her. He finds Seul-Bi alone to look at her arm and Joo-Ah pulls them apart and she tells him to distract him that she likes him and then runs away and he yells that today is their day one. 

Seul-Bi paints Mrs. Ahn’s nails for her because she wants to be closer to her and Mrs. Ahn talks about how she doesn’t deserve to be a mother and Seul-Bi tries to reassure her. Seul-Bi then paints Woo-Hyun’s nails while he was napping. Later she comes and helps him take it off and then talks about how she wants to erase her shining spot and tries rubbing it too and cries. He tells her it is okay.

At school Mrs. Ahn cannot find the student’s test even though they were in a locked cabinet. A student overhears and then goes to class and gets everyone to pick on her and Sung-Yeol goes and grabs her and brings her away from everyone. Sung-Yeol and Woo-Hyun talk and he asks if someone is helping him and Woo-Hyun tells him that someone is trying to do what he is doing and Sung-Yeol tells him that he should give up on Seul-Bi so that the three of them can live here. Mrs. Ahn meets with her husband and she tells him that she can’t leave Woo-Hyun and Seul-Bi alone. He asks if she isn’t worried about Sung-Yeol and she tells him that she has to wait until they accept her. Woo-Hyun meets with Sung-Yeol and tells him to take care of Seul-Bi so that she won’t disappear forever and that he trusts Sung-Yeol because he also likes her and that he wants to stay with her.
