Ho Goo’s Love aired from February to March but I couldn’t watch it then. So I thought now was the perfect time to catch up the show (as I’m only watching one show) and after 4 episodes, it’s total love for this tvN drama. It has this amazing balance of two things which was as different for a narrative as days and nights. At one side, the drama has this cute, comics like quality where certain things get exaggerated by adding fantasy elements or graphical depiction. On the other side, there is a groundedness in the Continue reading →

The moment I read about the plans of remaking superhit Taiwanese drama In Time With You, instantly I got excited. Reason: I love stories where best friends turn into lovers! From what I have seen, I can think of three Kdramas which had that, brilliantly depicted in 9 Ends 2 Outs (also knows as Bottom Of The 9th with 2 Outs), Answer Me 1997 (awesome with capital A) and the other one being Coffee House (but it had a lot Continue reading →

tvN and daily dramas are two things that I won’t imagine in the same sentence. So it was a surprise for me that the cable channel, known for breezy, zippy, trendy rom-coms with fresh takes, also airs daily soaps. The currently airing Family Secrets will be followed by a new show titled Bird That Doesn’t Cry from next week as a Monday-Thursday show Continue reading →

I haven’t finished any Joo Sang Wook drama till date. I started Cunning Single Lady and Birth Of A Beauty but ended up dropping both. There were certain issues I had with them but that doesn’t plummet my interest in his upcoming drama Masked Prosecutor. Another great thing — it stars Kim Sun Ah as his leading lady! She is making a small screen comeback after 3 years as her last drama venture was rom-com I Do, I Do in 2012. I loved her (like everyone) in k-drama classic My Name Is Kim Sam Soon but haven’t seen her in anything else (though Scent Of A Woman is in my plan). Continue reading →

For past 2-3 years, many dramas are taking their story as adaptations from novels and mostly webtoons.  Some nail it and some result in failure. Three Musketeers is an excellent example of how to take a world-famous work and blend it efficiently with historical events of Korea. The drama is a nice motley of action, adventure, heroism, bromance, humour and romance. The drama also marked my first sageuk in 2 years after dropping Gu Family Book. And it’s actually my second sageuk, the other being Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Continue reading →
