What an intense start for God’s Gift – 14 Days, the new drama on SBS for its Monday-Tuesday slot. I had lots of expectations with it and it met all of them and some more. The drama has that eerie, chilling atmosphere and a seriousness in tone, which is all the more impactful by the use of minimum colours throughout. I can feel that contrast much more because I just finished You From Another Star that was all candy floss and colorful to the max. 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.

It always bewilders me how more and more dramas keep coming every new season after the two-month older ones complete their turn and bid goodbye. We are here, trying to manage as many shows as we can with indirect proportion to time but dramaland is so indifferent that it keeps on churning out more and more and more, ready or not. Anyway, here is a list of some of the interesting dramas to be premiered this month of February. I’m actually excited for most of them for different reasons. I’m going to take pot luck with all of them and let’s hope they all would turn out to be good! Continue reading
