I recently rewatched Dream High and found it equally good as I did during my first time. It is exactly about what the title suggests: chasing your dreams. It is about the victory of an underdog to achieve his dreams. The drama is not a unique one and has got a predictable premise, but when the characters win over your heart and you’re rooting for them to win, that’s all that really matters. Stardom and talent  can be very distinct from each other, and the drama stars all popular idols. But they together make it an endearing watch, even if they are not actors with perfection.

How many of you are confused with this coming season of drama premieres, as seriously there is a drama profusion in the next month of April. Wherever I see, I find stills or teasers or posters of forthcoming shows, and it’s so difficult to remember which one is gonna premiere when.

So I decided to make a list of upcoming shows so that it becomes easier to remember them. I excluded some of the shows like weekend ones and will make another enumeration for them in part 2.

And the general dramas also happen to have a fondness towards the clandestine past stories, which usually form the latter part or provide the climax for our shows, after they complete their main story. So, when I first read about this latest entrant in the upcoming weekend drama galore, I found it really funny. Continue reading →

I’ve already stated the forthcoming dramas I’m most excited about. And the one about which I’m least excited…it’s the melodrama When A Man Loves. And I have many reasons for it. Firstly, the story. It sounds so typically melodramatic with an added feature of infidelity (in the name of true love..meh), which I find truly repulsive. It’s not like I haven’t seen such movies, but then here it’s a drama hero and I seriously can’t root for him in such a situation. Second reason is that I didn’t like Shin Se Kyung‘s one note acting and constant Continue reading →
