Cunning Single Lady turned out to be breezy and smooth, quite opposite to what I expected before its premiere. I thought that it would be slapstick and over-the-top but it was a pleasant first week with flawed characters. I think both the leads are responsible for their present status of being divorced and they are also not mature enough. Ae Ra did try her best to support Jung Woo when he was working on his business ideas but then after 4 years struggle, she gave in. Maybe there was something related to miscarriage as it is Continue reading →

I have seen Yoon Sang Hyun doing comedy in Secret Garden (where he was simply awesome with great comic timing) and then in I Hear Your Voice, where he nailed the role of an upright lawyer adding his own gravitas to it. I think he is great in melting into the characters he plays and now we can see him as a detective — and I love it when my heroes Continue reading →

The new season of dramas can be called as a thriller season as we are having a smorgasbord of dramas that are taking the genre as their basic premise (Three Days, Ghost Seeing Detective Cheo Young, God’s Gift – 14 Days, Gap Dong to name a few). I’m a lover for these kind of series and movies and this is the reason I’m a happy camper for most of them even if I’m going out of my way to watch more than two live shows simultaneously (or wait — is that akin to making a square circle!). The first one to start is God’s Gift – 14 Days and I’m really excited for this. The story is a mash-up between Lee Jun Ki‘s Two Weeks and time travel theme that seems to be never-ending since its origin in 2012. Lee Bo Young had a terrific 2013 with giving one of the highest rated dramas My Daughter Seo Young (okay, it was a weekender) but then securing her place in the hearts of the viewers with her stupendous performance in I Hear Your Voice. Contrary to her prickly and funny role in IHYV, she will be playing a serious character here as she stars as the mother who has lost her daughter in a kidnapping-murder incident and then she gets a chance to go back in time to save her and the time period allotted is — 14 days.

Cunning Single Lady (Sly And Single Again) premiered this week as the new Wednesday-Thursday drama and aired two back to back episodes. I really liked the first episode which was funny, fast and established our main plot. The main attraction for me was of course to see Joo Sang Wook in a romantic comedy, but I was also interested in the premise. Yes, dramaland doesn’t lack in ‘second chances in love’ stories but still the idea of a cunning heroine who seduces her ex-husband aroused my curiosity. And I’m glad that we have enough reasons and situations to reach beyond this one line description we were given in the promotional phase. The two episodes received quite good ratings of 5.4% & 6.4%, considering that they were up against the finale of You From Another Star.

P.S. This will be more like a mini-recap. Continue reading →
