Yay! Jo Seung Woo is back! I love that the musical actor is doing more dramas these days after acting solely in movies for many years. I have yet to see his last drama Forest Of Secrets which captivated everyone last year. Its writer is reuniting with him for new JTBC show Life, which also stars Lee Dong Wook — his first drama since getting new jolt of popularity after superhit Goblin. The PD at the helm has previously directed dramas like Dear My Friends, Deserving Of The Name and remake of The Most Beautiful Goodbye In The World. All these good reasons were necessary for me to look forward to this drama as it is a medical show, a genre I find extremely boring.

The first thing that I noticed when I started Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food (also, Something In The Rain) was its look: subtle, washed with muted colours, soft. There is a distinct old school vibe in the execution. I’m glad the show maintained this to the end, albeit a few exceptions. It’s a drama that will surely make one swoon and also make one annoyed. And yes, it successfully transports us to a rainy, misty season, giving a ‘lazy, lying in bed and listening to radio’ feel which I really loved.

I’m definitely getting vibes of IRIS, Athena and Fugitive Plan B from upcoming drama Prometheus, what with the genre of spy thriller, big budget, top stars and North-South relationship. Despite the mixed results of shows of the genre (main complaint: all style and no substance but I want to remain positive!), this kind of category always makes me excited and since we have confirmed leads in the form of Ha Ji Won and Jin Goo, count me in for sure! Ha Ji Won was fantastic in The King 2 Hearts where she brilliantly portrayed her action packed role. And Jin Goo is always a delight to watch. Continue reading →

Well, well, they said yes! It was reported a few weeks back that new drama Boyfriend is courting Song Hye Kyo and Park Bo Gum to star together. Of course, viewers got super excited or super wary of this pairing and finally both have confirmed to star together in this show. As for me, I’m quite indifferent for the couple but happy that they are making a comeback to dramaland. I love Continue reading →
