Story in a Nutshell Three besties Im Jin Joo (Chun Woo Hee), Lee Eun Jung (Jun Yeo Bin) and Hwang Han Joo (Han Ji Eun) lives together in Eun Jung's apartment. Eun Jung's younger brother Hyo Bong (Yoon Ji On) and Han Joo's young son shares the place as well. Jin Joo is an aspiring... Continue Reading →
The only bits I like about Doctor is those times when Ji-sung is on screen as Dr Yo-han, the genius who can diagnose a complicated case without the help of laboratories and clever gadgets. But more often than not, the storyline is bugged down by two characters whom I am getting less and less patient... Continue Reading →
Sypnosis: Jo Nam-bong (Lee Soon-jae) and Lee Mae-ja (Jung Young-sook) had been married for 45 years and have a son Jo Jin-soo (Jo Han-chul). Jin-soo married Kim Jung-hee (Bae Hae-sun) and have a daughter Jo Eun-ji (Lee Ye-won). Nam-bong had been a taxi-driver for most of his life, and he seemed to care about his... Continue Reading →
Major Spoilers: The actor as the main character Han Jung-rok was changed from Kang Ji-hwan to Seo Ji-suk from Episode 11 onwards. Jung Ga-ik (Lee Jae-yoon) was saved by a monk in Joseon, who was later killed by Ga-ik to take his place as Monk Bo Woo. Monk Bo Woo was later appointed as the... Continue Reading →
Story (including spoilers): Ko Min Jae (Yoon Chan-young) is a 17-year-old high schooler with a sensitive personality and does not like to talk. He usually communicates with his mother Jeong-kyeong (Seo Jung-yeon) through messages, while his father is working and living at Daegu. He suspects his mother has an affair, and would try to find...

I realise I'm slooooowly getting back to Japanese dramas, although the number I'm watching now is nowhere near in my JDorama hayday. PS: Crazy busy this week hence this post is postponed till now. Designated Survivor - 60 Days: Wait, what? Oh Young-seok (Lee Joon Hyuk) just dies like that? It certainly was anti-climatic. And... Continue Reading →
Storyline: Choi Joon-woo (Ong Seong-wu) was transferred to a new school after admitting to theft in his previous school. He was warmly greeted by the class president Ma Hwi-young (Shin Seung-ho) who not only showed him around the new school, but also helped him get second-hand uniform. Joon-woo needed to submit a group project due... Continue Reading →
Is it only me that find Tae-kang seriously funny...and somehow endearing (gasp!) as a devil? I love his banter and negotiations with Ha Rib, including the recent amendments to the clauses on his contract. So Mr Devil is willing to consider giving Ha Rib a permanent no-strings attached extension of his benefits as long as... Continue Reading →
How long can you hate someone? Well, for Man-wol, an eternity isn't enough. I was quite aghast at her unprovoked retaliation against Mi-ra, even though we did get glimpses into Man-wol/ Mi-ra's past and understand they were arch enemies (and possibly rivals in love) then. But...Mi-ra in the current reincarnation did not even do anything... Continue Reading →
It's been awhile since I've finished watching Show, so I may not remember the details. However, I do remember the warm and fuzziness from our three sisters, as well as from our OTP. This is pretty much a female-centric drama with a lovely sisterhood to boot. Male characters are pretty much useless except for our... Continue Reading →
Real life gets in the way of drama-watching this week, but what has to be watched, gets watched. Designated Survivor - 60 Days: Oh no Young-jin (Son Seok-goo) and Soo Jung (Choi Yoon Young)! Is this ship going to sink because of lousy politicians and their conspiracies? Young-seok (Lee Joon Hyuk) finally reveals the big... Continue Reading →
Devil is very loosely based on Gothe's Faust: the story of a human selling his soul to the Devil (and seriously regretting it when Reckoning Day comes about). However, Devil imo, is a more fun watch. Main Cast: Jung Kyung-ho (from Life on Mars) as Ha Rib/ Seo Dong-cheon. Dong-cheon is an old and forgotten... Continue Reading →
I cannot believe this...I watched another sageuk this year (the first being The Crowned Clown). Maybe cos this is a "fusion" sageuk which upfront says it's a "non-historical" piece with "fantasy" elements (not the goblin/witches kind, but the ones with "non-realistic" stuff in them)...so it's kinda acceptable -- so far -- for me? Although I... Continue Reading →
Although the topic of Dr's narrative is heavy going material -- euthanasia shares just as many arguments as abortions -- I find myself enjoying the show pretty much. Maybe cos Corruption hasn't made its daily appearance. Given the drift of the plot, I have an inkling it MIGHT not be such a huge stage presence... Continue Reading →
Storyline (may include spoilers): It was more than 10 years after the March 1st movement and setting up of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, but Korea was still a colonial state of Japan despite many efforts of the various organizations fighting for Korea's independence. One such organization for the independence activists was... Continue Reading →
Wasn't it just like, yesterday, when we were gasping at the sheer number of new dramas starting in July and here we are, it is August! Most dramas are at their half-way mark, while we bid adieu to others. Investigation Couple 2: Season 3, anyone? I wasn't expecting MBC to be game enough to make... Continue Reading →
The ending... leaves me crying for a bloody refund. Ok, given that I know that Investigation 3 is in the works (the crew is negotiating for a continuation), I might just let the cliff hanger slide (again). But the Easter Egg post-credit is interesting. [SPOILERS] I fully understand why Prosecutor Do would want to leave... Continue Reading →
Spoilers: Min Jae-hee (Ha Jae-sook) finally recalled that Seo Yi-do (Shin Sung-rok) was the boy that she saved when they were young, and found out that she was Yi-do's first and only love. Unaware that Jae-hee was also Min Ye-rin (Ko Won-hee) that he knew, Yi-do was so torn between Jae-hee and Ye-rin, and unable... Continue Reading →
