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.

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

I was so busy this past month that I didn’t even notice that The Drama Corner celebrated its first birthday this month. Wow…it has been an awesome ride in this one year. I learned to love writing and made so many friends here. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.

And now I’m making some changes here. The first one is the new theme which I was planning to use from a few days.
