Here we go, I watched this whole thing and did not really like it.
Initially I decided to watch it because I enjoy Gong Hyo Jin but the characters...I could not like them. They all had some little fun quirk that made them endearing. In particular Kim Soo Hyun played a young, naive and strongly competitive character who was always doing petty childish things to the people he disliked or saw as competition.
Grudge:The Revolt of the Gumiho, also known as Tale of the Fox's Child
The most heart breaking, sob inducing drama I have ever seen. I watched the entire 16 episodes, each episode a little over an hour long, in two days and then grieved horribly for about a month. In fact I am still grieving and it has been 5 months since I watched it.
There are terribly sweet moments but most of it is shocking and horrible.
The first "Second Lead Syndrome" is the hardest and this was heart obliterating. It really tore a heart into little tiny pieces, fed those pieces to the dog who in turn shat those pieces out but from that humble dog crap bloomed a most beautiful flower.
I almost missed out on this series. Timing is critical and for this series the timing could not have been worse. It's release January 21, 2015 followed the release of Kill Me, Heal Me by two weeks. Many viewers, myself included, felt that the plot line of a hero with dual personality disorder too closely matched Kill Me, Heal Me which also had a hero who suffered from extreme D.I.D.
Months went by and I decided to give the series a view. The two stories were nothing alike at all. Hyun Bin gave an excellent performance with style and elegance. It was really very wonderful.
The trailers looked really dark and serious. I like rom/com's. They are light and fun. When life is drab and depressing they pick a person up.
I think my curiosity became too much.
It is dark, certainly. An heiress dies under suspicious circumstances. At the same time a young woman is presumed dead, murdered by loan sharks.
There are a lot of underlying mysteries in this series, not all of them get solved.
The tension breaker is the relationship between the lead couple. It is light hearted and warm. The sort of thing that makes the heart flutter and the lips say aww.
A cute but very unremarkable drama. I was drawn by the image of a favorite horror character.
On the outside it is the story of two people who hate each other falling in love.
Of course there is a deeper story. Go Cheok Hee is a divorce attorney with a very jaded view of marriage. Certain events lead to her disbarment and she returns years later as an office manager for a firm now run by her previous office manager.
So Jung Woo is a divorce attorney who used to be Cheok Hee's office manager. During the time he was studying law he survived a train accident. The accident left him traumatized. He is afraid to ride a train. He is also obsessed with finding the woman(another survivor)who saved his life by giving him the will to live until he could be rescued. He has never been able to thank her or know her own well being after the crash and it upsets him.
I avoided this one for as long as I could bear to. Teen dramas are often high school musical type. Very cliched.
I ended up watching this one anyway because in the end I still love a teen drama and a high school musical.
In a world where vampires knowingly live among humans as second class citizens. Less than human and forced to wear implants that let authorities know if they use their vampire abilities. The ultimate punishment for use of abilities is worse than death. A bloodless stasis.
This series covers the story of three teens involved in a fate that predates the current life.
I know I say this so much; I love this drama. I will watch it over and over. I will play clips and ost mv's. It is so easy to become addicted and watch the entire thing in a day. It is how I spent my Halloween.
The cast is excellent. The soundtrack is excellent. The story is so wonderful; sweet and tragic.
A woman cursed with the ability to see and communicate with ghosts meets a man who for some reason renders the ghosts invisible to her. Of course this makes him very attractive from the onset.
It starts out looking like a terrifying, gruesome horror series but anyone who knows Gong Hyo Jin dramas knows that this will end up being a touching comedy.
This drama is written by the Hong Sisters; a South Korean screenwriting team. They are well known for writing touching romantic comedies; as well as some of my favorite series.
Today I am feeling a little under the weather; sniffly, sneezing, it is a good day for a rom/com. This one is actually a great love of mine I will probably watch it today.
This drama features my favorite actress Gong Hyo Jin as a singer from a now defunct girl idol group "The National Treasure Girls". Having been accused in a scandal that led to the groups disbandment she now lives a hard life of trying to support her family by appearing on entertainment variety shows.
Body switch story with a twist and a turn. I loved it right up until the end and then I feel like I was let down.
One of the things I hate most is to be left with hopes or expectations where there aren't any. Dramas with a plot device dealing with waiting for the birth of a lover's reincarnation and such things always upset me. The reason being that while a reincarnation is the soul returned to live life anew, it is not exactly the same person. Since the initial meeting and falling in love there can be many opportunities for learning which can change a person for the better or worse. The karma may be changed also.
In this case, the situations involved in the culmination of this love and relationship cannot be recreated naturally and creating them unnaturally can damage the psyche. This can only lead to heartache at the worst and in the best case scenario there could be a relationship but it would not be the same.
It would be best for the female lead to mourn the lost love and move on; if reuniting with him later is her fate then she can start fresh but instead it feels like she is set up to wait for him. Knowing he is alive and healthy can be her only real consolation. That is my thought.
This story appealed to me because I love the idea of a vigilante for justice. I also loved Zorro and I enjoy watching sword play and acrobatics. I love dark humor and I love
I love this series so much I have watched it more than once and I think I want to watch it again. Especially since Lee Seung Gi enlisted and will be gone for 2 years!
A gambler/con-man decides to pull a scam on a blind heiress in an attempt to save his own life and stumbles onto a plot by her own people to take hers.
This stars Zo In Sung who also starred in It's Okay, That's Love.
In the drama It's Okay, That's Love; there is a scene in which In Sung's character is speaking with his mother on the phone. He asks what she is doing and she responds she is watching a drama. The drama on her television screen was That Winter, The Wind Blows.
This is a dark comedy, family drama about two young people from extremely different backgrounds and their families. The young couple become parents quite unexpectedly throwing the young man's household into chaos.
He is from a wealthy, seemingly upstanding family and they are concerned about their public image. The young lady in contrast is from a poor family that is bankrupt.
It was an emotionally painful series to watch; dark comedy though it was. The ending was most unexpected and very unhappy.
