It was an exceptional case for me with new Korean drama Crash Course In Romance. I started it and didn’t continue after first few minutes because it wasn’t capturing my interest. Then next day, I decided to give it another try because it was a drama I wanted to watch since its announcement. What a great decision! Because after watching the first two episodes, I’m in love.

The Interest Of Love premiered two weeks back but I only got the chance to start it now. I have seen 2 out of 4 episodes so far but I’m totally onboard this ride! The show is moody, indie-like with an unhurried pace. It’s the opposite of over-the-top. Soft, simple, subtle. Continue reading →

Alchemy Of Souls stole everyone’s heart when it aired a few months back. But viewers were divided when it was revealed that the main female lead, Jung So Min, won’t be appearing in the second installment of the fantasy sageuk. As for me, I was initially sad to hear the news but as we reached the conclusion of Part 1, it made sense to me as to why the female lead would change to Go Yoon Jung. It was ultimately Naksu who fell in love with Jang Uk (Lee Jae Wook) and it was her story. Continue reading →

Wow! — This was my reaction after completing the first three episodes of new JTBC drama Reborn Rich. The show blends the genres of fantasy and business/family drama and brings out a really absorbing tale. Continue reading →

I said this before watching the first two episodes of new KBS drama Curtain Call and I felt it while watching too — it has old school drama vibes, in a good way. (The setting of the family, the hotel business, the disguised identity trope and the execution.) The drama boasts a strong cast, quality production and a story spanning decades and two countries.

Full of laughs and full of warmth.
I really liked the subtle, soft and indie-like start of The Interest Of Love.
