The Korean drama OST "Red Ballon" makes me melt

If it's for a romantic drama that's not an affair, it's definitely better. Because as I said above, I hate affairs that only prioritize hormone drives, are selfish and forget that they have hurt many people.
However, in the Korean drama "Red Ballon", the writer-nim deliberately explored the affair, complete with the reasons. Not only Jo Eun-Gang's affair with her best friend's husband, Han Ba-Da. Also Ji Nam-Cheol's affair with Jo Eun-Gang's sister. The affair that Ji Nam-Cheol's wife reciprocated with her former lover.

Apart from stirring up the emotions of the audience with the affair, the writer-nim also makes the audience nervous and angry at the same time. Starting from anger at seeing Jo Eun-San who seduced Ji Nam-Cheol to have an affair, Jo Eun-Gang's courage to wear Han Ba-Da's bathrobe, to Jo Eun-Gang's action of including all his family members into the Go family circle.

Understandably drama makjang, made to confuse the emotions of the audience. It also feeds questions that don't have answers. Like Ji Nam-Cheol's "secret" kept by Jo Eun-Gang. The secret that made Ji Nam-Cheol willing to lay off the bookkeeping admin to be replaced with Jo Eun-San, Jo Eun-Gang's sister. Surprisingly the "secret" was not revealed until the final episode.

What can I do, someone has to be sacrificed in order to achieve the wishes of the writer-nim and director. The sacrifice is in the form of holes in the story of the Korean drama "Red Ballon".

It's fine, as long as the audience likes it when their emotions are like a roller coater, right? From being angry, grateful, cursing, crying, sad, then getting angry again, just like a soap opera should.

So slow!

If I watched it in the cinema, I would fall asleep. Hehehe supposition that can't possibly happen huh? The duration of the Korean drama "If You Wish Upon Me" is approximately 16 hours (16 episodes). Therefore, if I may, I suggest shortening it to 12 episodes. Eits.??

Incidentally, I finished this drama while watching the ongoing drama "Call it Love" played by Kim Young Kwang and Lee Sung Kyung. So that auto compares the two.

Both dramas have a slower tempo and both tell stories about lonely broken home youths. However, the Korean drama "Call it Love" doesn't make it boring, instead it makes you want to know the next episode.

One of the keys lies in the camera game. Some reviewers also praised the angle of the Korean drama "Call it Love" which spoils the eye and wants to hug Han Dong Jin, played by Kim Young Kwang, and cheer him up.

I played the Korean drama song album "If You Wish Upon Me" while writing a review, there was Sooyoung who sang the song "To My Star" and Taeyeon with her song "You And Me", which unfortunately scored only C to support this drama.

So, why did the Korean drama "If You Wish Upon Me" not match predictions? Maybe it's because the writer-nim is too overthinking.

Inspired by the Ambulance Wish Foundation, which launched a charity program in the Netherlands, namely the activity of granting the last wish of terminally ill patients. Then combined with the fictional story of Yoon Gyeo-Rye (Ji Chang-Wook) who was entangled in cases of gangsters and possessive women, the Korean drama "If You Wish Upon Me" became.

A mix of stories that feel heavy huh? Luckily the Korean drama "If You Wish Upon Me" was played by Ji Chang-Wook and Sooyoung, actors and actresses whose acting skills need not be doubted.

Although the final segment is not clear. If you want to put it in an entertainment drama, how come it doesn't feel comfortable seeing a child being ironed by his biological father.

Revenge of the chaebol's youngest grandson

Wow, this drama is really recommended!

The story idea for the Korean drama Reborn Rich is very telling, which is about the Samsung chaebol which is certainly closely related to the lives of Korean people.

It was San Kyeong who caught the idea and arranged it into a riveting story through the web novel "Chaeboljib Maknaeadeul” published from February 20, 2017 to January 11, 2018 via Kakao. Then visualized it coherently to present the Korean drama Reborn Rich which was able to hypnotize the audience.

Although there are some hollow scenes anyway. Like the accident that happened to Jin Yang-Cheol. Can a chaebol go on a business trip without an escort? He controls the Korean economy you know. His death could shake up the Korean stock market.

The incidental scene is also quite disturbing. One of them was when Jin Do-Jun was tugging at the Soonyang Card company's offer with Jin Dong-Ki, uncle number 2.

Then, when you called uncle number 2, how come it was so fitting for Jin Do-Jun to visit uncle number 1? So that Jin Do-Jun can go around and get high selling points for the Soonyang Card.

But that's it, right? It's also a drama. It takes a coincidence factor to create an exciting story. Because Lee Sung-Min's acting as the owner of Soonyang, can cover all the shortcomings of the Korean drama Reborn Rich.

Yup, Lee Sung-Min became the star of the Korean drama Reborn Rich! His acting as the overlord of the Soonyang empire is to be admired. Starting from acting angry, sad, laughing happily, and proud to see the success of his grandson.

The epic scene is Lee Sung-Min's angry and embarrassed face when he is in the elevator and unconsciously pees in his pants due to his illness. Like losing a war after saying:

Managing a company is like an endless war
The place he had to kill first
To survive

Really hoping that Lee Sung-Min will get the 2023 Baeksang Arts Awards, completing his award winnings in previous years such as the 2019 Baeksang Arts Awards, 2018 Daejong Film Awards, and many more.

What about Song Joong Ki? Mmmm…..I'm still not comfortable with the thickness of the makeup to the point where I want to let go because it's like a second skin. Hahaha….??

The love story of Jin Do-Jun (Song Joong-Ki) and Seo Min-Yeong (Shin Hyun-Bin) is also disturbing. Similar to a piece of the story attached to the entire Korean drama Reborn Rich. It doesn't matter. It's not effective, and the chemistry is really weak.

However, apart from the love story that should sweeten the Korean drama Reborn Rich, this drama is really recommended. Its strength lies precisely in the ability of the aging actor, Lee Sung-Min to translate the character of the owner of the Soonyang kingdom.

As well as the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren that melts the heart.

Ghost in Eunsang Hospital

Bravo for Kim Beom's cool acting. Plays the role of Go Seung-Tak, a childish rich young man, always smiling and mischievous. Kim Beom also had to play the fierce and perfectionist Cha Young-Min.

His face and body gestures alternated smoothly.

While Rain only acts as the tough and cynical Cha Young-Min.
As a viewer, I was disappointed to see Rain losing his charm. Her cheeks looked too thin. Is Rain on a strict diet?

When side by side with Kim Beom, he looks untidy. Maybe because Rain (1982) is acting as a professor, while Kim Beom (1989) is only an intern, right? They are only 7 years apart in age, but Rain looks like his father Kim Beom.??

Overall, the Korean drama Ghost Doctor is pretty good.

Tells about a coma ghost with all its problems. Including humanist stories that have a happy ending, thanks to the rescue by Cha Young-Min who entered Go Seung-Tak's body.

Similar to the Korean drama Hospital Playlist and the Korean drama Hospital Ship, only with a different angle. The Korean drama Hospital Playlist tells the story of doctor friendship, the Korean drama Hospital Ship tells of doctors in the countryside.

Meanwhile, the Korean drama Ghost Doctor combines stories of the occult, the world of ghosts and power struggles. There is a love story in all three dramas.

So for those who like the medical and supernatural genres, the Korean drama Ghost Doctor is highly recommended.

Moreover, according to AGB Nielson, this drama won a rating of 4,432% at the beginning of the episode nationwide, and closed at 7,953% at the end of the episode. Meanwhile, the Korean drama community on mydramalist gave a rating of 8.6, or it could be interpreted that many like the Korean drama Ghost Doctor. ??

Don't laugh at me okay? I decided to watch the Korean drama Bad and Crazy because I wanted to watch Wi Ha-Joon's acting, hehehe.

After seeing his immersive acting as Choi Do-Il in the Korean drama 'Little Women', I got curious and saw his profile on the asianwiki page. It turned out that he had acted effortlessly as Ji Seo-Jun in the Korean drama Romance is a Bonus Book (2019) and had supporting roles in other dramas, one of which was the Korean drama Goodbye Mr. Black (2016)

Pretty long brewing huh?

Wi Ha-Joon showed his quality by being able to match the acting of a senior actor, Lee Dong-Wook. Not only are they different in flying hours, the ages of the two are far apart, Wi Ha-Joon (1991), while Lee Dong-Wook (1981)

Even Wi Ha-Joon's acting as K really colored the Korean drama Bad and Crazy: His face is always cheerful, temperamental, funny, brave, and of course handsome! In contrast, Ryu Soo-Yeol's character is cool, flamboyant, and tends to hold back.

The combination of the two dominates the color of the Korean drama Bad and Crazy. Because overall, this drama has a dark nuance. About child abuse. About killing by the ruler. As well as about the black world of drugs.

Compared to its predecessor which also tells about multiple personalities, I prefer the Korean drama Bad and Crazy which feels more real. Starting with Ryu Soo-Yeol's confusion when his alter ego appears, then doing a series of therapies and ending with the alter ego, K.

His predecessor dramas: Korean drama Kill Me, Heal Me and Korean drama Hyde Jekyll, Me are more like jokes with romantic spices. The psychological genre is just a patch. Whereas in the Korean drama Bad and Crazy, it's the opposite: Romance is just a patch.

So, why is the Korean drama Bad and Crazy not as successful as its predecessor? Most likely the market has been saturated. Every month there are good dramas that make kdrama lovers confused.

Finally, choosing a drama based on the likes of the actress/actor, can be the right decision.

The Korean drama Love is for Suckers only got a rating of 0.843% at the beginning of the episode, after that it rose to 1..%, this continued for 15 episodes, only rising slightly to 2.172% in the final episode (Source: AGB Nielson).

This drama is so sad.??

Similar to the fate of the Korean drama Sh ** ting Stars, which also only received a rating of one point. But the Korean drama Love is for Suckers is superior.

Since the beginning of the episode, the audience has been immersed in the story told by the writer-nim in a sequence. About Goo Yeo-Reum (Lee Da-Hee) who is always cheerful and full of enthusiasm. About Park Jae-Hoon (Choi Si-Won) who cuddles. As well as how the two support each other. The chemistry between the two is very strong.

The scenario writer also tells about Goo Yeo-Reum's solid family background. Husband and wife Park Dae-Sik and Oh Hye-Jin who always support Goo Yeo-Reum and Park Jae-Hoon. So that the characters of the two main characters stand out.

The series of stories fell apart in the middle of the episode, especially when presenting the reality show scene of 'Kingdom of Love'. Makes it boring so I often have to skip it.

It got worse towards the end of the episode. The story of the Korean drama Love is for Suckers is widening everywhere. As well as many scenes that seem forced into the drama. Long-winded and boring.

In fact, instead of telling about Han Ji-Yeon, a woman who has a big crush on Park Jae-Hoon, or the story of Kim Sang-Woo (Goo Yeo-Reum's assistant), why not tell about the success of Goo Yeo-Reum and Park Jae-Hoon in having a baby tube?

Or the story of Park Jae-Hoon's mother who had to struggle after her husband died. Even though she is told as a rich woman, her existence is really needed to emphasize the character of Park Jae-Hoon who is slengean, but firm and loving.

Whatever the end of the story (however, happy ending, but not very exciting), the Korean drama Love is for Suckers deserves to be chosen as an entertaining drama during spare time. This drama can be watched while chatting, cooking and doing other activities without fear of missing the point of the story.

Fans of Lee Da-Hee and Choi Si-Won must also watch. His second acting in the Korean drama Love is for Suckers makes him emotional. Swear! ??

Because Romeo and Juliet failed to unite

The rating at the beginning of the episode, which was 2.8% and closed at 4.2% at the end, indicates that the Korean drama: From Now On Showtime is not that bad.

I suspect that the audience survived until the final episode because this drama is played by Park Hae-Jin and Jin Ki-Joo. Both of them never fail to amaze the audience.

Acting as a magician Cha Cha-Woong who is self-proclaimed, cool and arrogant, Park Hae-Jin's acting turns ridiculous when he falls in love with police officer Go Seul-Hae (Jin Ki-Joo). Acting that makes the audience like a roller coaster, between excited and wanting to laugh.

Likewise, the acting of older actors, the majority of whom are subscribed to, plays supporting roles.

Added to this is the strong chemistry between Park Hae-Jin and Jin Ki-Joo, which is why the Korean drama rating: From Now On Showtime doesn't sink to the bottom.

The idea of the story is very ordinary, not even coherent and too wide. Maybe it would be more comfortable if the scenario writer focused on telling the story of the couple Park Hae-Jin and Jin Ki-Joo, before and after reincarnation, including when the couple had to solve cases at the police.

No need to peel off the story of the ghosts. Especially the addition of Choi Geom's ghost, who in the past played the role of the princess' bodyguard. What the writer-nim wanted, Choi Geom was ridiculous and funny, but the result was annoying.

Likewise, the scene from 2,000 years ago feels far-fetched. Plus minus the cinematography that isn't as good as other Korean dramas, and the music that isn't fun, it's completely boring watching Korean dramas: From Now On Showtime.

However, if you are a fan of Park Hae-Jin and Jin Ki-Joo, please watch the Korean drama: From Now On Showtime. Because as I have written above, the acting of the two of them makes me excited! ???

Lessons on Don't Write Novels

The image of ordinary people about autopsy makes corpses 'deel duwel', becomes enlightened after watching the Korean drama: Partners for Justice.

Before performing the autopsy, the doctor and his assistant will pray. Then, while the doctor is doing the autopsy, the assistants will take careful notes and take pictures of the body. After the autopsy was completed, the body was neatly stitched back together, before being sent for burial/cremation.

The Korean drama: Partners for Justice makes the audience amazed at how much science can benefit if it is used optimally. Especially when side by side with other sciences.

Writer-nim intelligently described it with a meeting of 2 groups, namely the National Forensic Agency (BFN) group and the prosecutor/police group. They exchanged drinks saying: “Long live science! Long live the law!

Hey, cool huh?

Korean Drama: Partners for Justice is really cool, so you don't get bored watching it for the 3rd time. Compared to its sequel, Korean drama: Partners for Justice tells the story of many cases that are solved surprisingly, then Korean drama: Partners for Justice Season 2 tends to be more fixated on the case of doctor Jang Cheol who has a heartbreaking story.

And the story of Oh Man-Sang who died in season 1, apparently managed to outwit investigators. With the help of doctor Jang Cheol who transplanted DNA into the bone marrow of a victimized unknown person, everyone thought Oh Man-Sang was dead.

Is that really possible? There's news here. Of course, it wasn't criminal, it happened accidentally. Maybe the story inspired the writer-nim when making the scenario for the Korean drama: Partners for Justice.

Imagination may be wild, but writer-nim cleverly always relates each case to the principles of the pioneer of forensic science who later became known as Sherlock Holmes from Lyon, France, namely:

Every contact leaves a trace (Locard Principle)


In addition to disassembling science, there are 3 love stories in Korean drama: Partners for Justice, namely: Prosecutor Kang Hyun who secretly loves Prosecutor Eun Sol, doctor Baek Beom with his old love story, and detective story Cha Soo-Ho who has a heavy crush on an expert. poison, Stella Wang.

It's also a heart-wrenching story about a parent who regrets pushing his child to excel and ignoring his child's need for warm, loving attitudes.

Butttt...... it's forbidden to watch while eating, right? I'm afraid that I will feel sick to see Baek Beom's doctor scraping the corpse. ??

And Justice For All

In order not to appear innocent victims, a law enforcer must uphold justice! That's more or less the message of the drama 'Suspicious Partner'.

Because of the actions of Prosecutor Jang Moo-Young, misfortune befell Eun Bong-Hee. He was bullied as a murderer's son, after Eun Bong-Hee's father was sacrificed as a firefighter.

The second time, Prosecutor Jang Moo-Young almost indicted Eun Bong-Hee by forging a murder weapon. Even though he escapes punishment, it doesn't mean good luck comes to Eun Bong-Hee.

Prosecutor Jang Moo-Young's other act was the rape case against Park So-Young by 7 teenagers. The majority of the perpetrators came from wealthy families, so the case was frozen. As a result, one of the perpetrators felt guilty and killed 6 other perpetrators.

Coherently arranged, the drama 'Suspicious Partner' begins with interesting scenes and tends to be funny, such as Eun Bong-Hee falsely accusing No Ji-Wook. Then No Ji Wook used Eun Bong-Hee out of shame towards his ex-girlfriend and mistress.

The colorful fun scene in the first episode suddenly turns dark, dark in the next episode, when Eun Bong-Hee becomes the accused of the death of her ex-boyfriend.

Overall, the drama 'Suspicious Partner' is recommended, even for re-watching. Although the results would be better, if the director and production team would condense it into 16 episodes or 32 episodes @ 30 minutes.

I like the idea of ​​Eun Bong-Hee, who is confused about finding a place to live, but instead goes to Na Ji-Hae's house, which incidentally is her rival. Na Ji-Hae once snatched Eun Bong-Hee's boyfriend, then became a damning witness. Their feud has even ended in each other. Exciting friendship!

What I like about this drama is the warm, brotherly atmosphere of the lawyer's office. Eun Bong-Hee confides with Ji Eun-Hyuk. It was the cold No Ji-Wook who had to be firm and make a decision. The arbiter of the wise Mr. Bang, and the trouble maker, senior lawyer Byeon Young-Hee, who is also No Ji Wook's adoptive father.

The cases raised are also interesting, such as the case of the death of the perpetrator of domestic violence. The wife thought her son had committed the murder so she wanted to take his place as the accused.

Then there is the stalker case that Eun Bong-Hee defends. A case of beating by a fortune teller. And certainly the case of serial killers who experience cognitive dissonance.

I give the drama Suspicious Partner a 7/10 because it is full of good acting and makes me smile. It could be 9/10 if this drama was shortened to just 16 episodes.

Oops, impossible wish huh? ️

Mother's Acting Child Gets a Plague

There is nothing special about the Korean drama 'Now, We Are Breaking Up'.

The sex scene in the initial episode was just a gimmick to make the audience curious about the next episode, but ended up disappointed because there was nothing special.

Song Hye-Kyo fans (like me ) and Jang Ki-Yong fans may be delighted to see the appearance of beautiful and handsome idol actresses and actors. But true drama connoisseurs will frown after the story puzzle comes together and takes shape.

"Today, is there a mother who forbids her child from dating her sister's ex-boyfriend?

After all, your brother is dead, right? Why bother?

It gets even weirder to see Ha Young-Eun's mother also forbids her child's love affair. Believe me, on this earth there is not a single mother who is not worried about seeing her child go to dusk without a companion.

Moreover, the mother of Ha Young-Eun has an opinion that is out of the box. She filed for divorce after 40 years of marriage. The reason she felt harassed, her role as a wife and mother, was never appreciated by her husband.

A woman like this shouldn't be easily provoked by petty arguments like Yoon Jae-Guk's stepmother. He will prioritize the happiness of his son, not the happiness of other women.

Fortunately, the drama Now, We Are Breaking Up explores many stories. About the fashion industry, for example. Apart from having to deal with design plagiarism and raw material suppliers, as a designer, Ha Young-Eun, played by Song Hye Kyo, has to work hard for fast fashion. Buyers always need the latest fashion clothes to escape the stresses of life.

(From the channel Korea Reomit, we will know that in fact the people of South Korea are. They work hard to buy branded clothes and bags).

Sparks of problems that arise from parents also appear in this drama. It's not about his parents' extreme rejection of Ha Young Eun's girlfriend, but an elderly couple's fight that didn't solve the problem early on.

But the most so sweet is the relationship with his 2 best friends, Director Hwang Chi-Sook and Jeon Mi-Sook who are suffering from cancer. Huhuhu as Ha Young-Eun's boss, Director Hwang Chi-Sook makes emotions, his job is just make up, have fun and pressure Ha Young-Eun. But he really loves Ha Young-Eun.

The rest are quotes scattered throughout the episode. I like to read and take notes. These include:

It has nothing to do with fashion. Fashion is over quickly. Style is forever. You don't have to wear a label to be important. (Ralp Lauren)

The Story of Cinderella's Contract Marriage

The drama is cheesy, it's really cool! But very entertaining…. :D

The Chinese drama "Once We Get Married" reminds me of the drama "Fated to Love You" which is also about contract marriage. The Cinderella was equally supported by the CEO's grandmother.

In addition, there is a touch of the Chinese drama "Boss and Me", about a misunderstanding that turns into love. And Cinderella's background is "very ordinary" but has aspirations that lift her self-esteem.

Chinese dramas seem to be concerned with women's struggles to be independent. Dong Shan Cai in the Chinese drama "Meteor Garden" is no longer told as a woman, but a tough woman who won a cooking competition.

Therefore, viewers of “Once We Get Married” are disappointed if they expect the drama to end with the news of Gu Xi Xi's pregnancy. This girl is told tough until the end of the episode.

It's boring at the same time! 24 episodes is too much, only 20 episodes is enough.

Even then, the audience must close their eyes to the many holes. Like the story of Yin Si Chen who went to a masquerade party to meet Gu Xi Xi. Yin Si Chen's friend's behavior made him think the woman he met was Ran Xi Wei.

In order to escape Ran Xi Wei's entanglement, Yin Si Chen spoke harsh words and said he didn't like it. It turned out that the woman behind the mask was Gu Xi Xi, not Ran Xi Wei. Gu Xi Xi's heart hurts to hear that.

But…… right, Yin Si Chen went to the party to meet Gu Xi Xi. Even if it's the wrong person, Yin Si Chen should find his contract wife, so that the misunderstanding doesn't drag on.

That's the Chinese romantic genre drama. The things that the audience likes are collected first, then the scenes are broken down. No wonder it's hollow.

The drama "Once We Get Married" also doesn't have a sweet song like the drama "Unforgettable Love". And there's no Xiao Bao, the adorable chubby toddler in the drama.

This drama relies heavily on the acting strength of the main character. Wang Yu Wen as Gu Xi Xi who has been on the small screen since the age of 11.

Also male actor Wang Zi Qi as Yin Si Chen even though his acting career is not as long as Wang Yu Wen, but he has good experience.

But overall, the Chinese drama "Once We Get Married" is very entertaining. Really recommended if you need fresh entertainment, sweet like candy and don't have to frown when watching it.

Swear :D

Mr Cupid's Arrow He

Really confused, after watching the Chinese drama "Once We Get Married" followed by the drama "Unforgettable Love". Ha ha ha …. Both about contract marriages. The main characters are also similar. Beautiful and cute female actress. Handsome male actor, and is told as a cold and arrogant CEO.

The difference is that in the Chinese drama "Unforgettable Love" there is Xiao Bao, a 5-year-old boy with acting and the most adorable face. It's really funny, even though the child actor Lennon Sun whose real name is Sun Si Cheng, according to the mydramalist.com site, is playing a role for the first time.

Compared to the Chinese drama "Once We Get Married", this drama is also more intentional. The setting is not only a mansion like a castle, but also the interior design, knick-knacks, and the soundtrack. Maybe many will think the song was specifically created for the drama "Unforgettable Love".

In terms of the series of scenes in the Chinese drama "Unforgettable Love" it is also more coherent. There are not many holes, and invites the audience to guess the end of the story. Who is the woman He Qiao Yan is looking for? Why is He Qiao Yan's aunt/aunt so mysterious? Was he honest, or was he the one who harmed He's brothers and sisters?

Maybe that's also why, the producer made a continuation of 1 episode entitled “Unforgettable Love: Extra Story”, so that the audience can release their longing. Too bad it wasn't as successful as the original drama. Some even commented: “scrubbed through, waste of time lol”

It's understandable. A reliable chef will carefully mix delicious dishes, both ingredients, seasonings and portions. When you ask for more, you will feel too much afterwards :D :D

When Love Must Choose

“Zi Sheng's hair is still slay!” the chatter of the audience of the Chinese drama “Love Like the Galaxy” that appears on the monitor. Hahaha…..I laughed too. Like this, if you watch via the WeTV application, because there is a send message feature, viewers can talk about the contents of the drama and have it displayed on their respective monitors.

I agree, the make-up artist for the Chinese drama “Love Like the Galaxy” is too big. Really, there are people who are caught in a fire in the bunker, but their hair is still neat, only their face is smudged with smoke.

It must be understood, makeup artists may struggle. Zi Sheng's wig was like a bun that had been neatly shaped and all that was needed was to be pinned to the head, not strands of hair that were lifted up and then piled into a bun. Unraveling a wig like that is tantamount to ruining it.

Criticism of the scene above, only a speck between the milk before. There are viewers who are willing to pay for WeTV subscriptions, so they can watch the Chinese drama “Love Like the Galaxy” over and over again. There are also those who claim that this is the best Chinese drama in 2022.

Hmm….I agree, besides the series of stories that are sometimes not coherent, a bit messy, the audience will be hypnotized by the acting of the actresses/actors. Even the supporting actress/actor is really good.

The supporting actress that I like is Xu Di who plays Madam Cheng or Cheng Shao Shang's grandmother who is fussy, tyrannical and likes to compete with her daughter-in-law.


The chemistry of Zhao Lu Si who plays Cheng Shao Shang and Leo Wu as Ling Bu Yi makes me melt. so cute! From one of the comments, I just found out that Leo Wu has been acting since he was 7 years old, this handsome actor born in 1999 has acted in the Chinese drama 'Everlasting Regret' (2006), so he is well versed in acting.

But what makes me like it is the cinematography. Very good and very clever. the galloping horses, the wet ground trampled by the maids following the carriages, the unusual meeting angles, made the audience feel how arrogant and cold the palace and the buildings around it were.

And of course the music. I immediately looked for the album on spotify, as soon as I found it, I wrote a review for the Chinese drama 'Love Like the Galaxy' while listening to a song whose lyrics seemed made especially for this drama. Or maybe it really is?

The Love Story of a Handsome Divorce Advocate

Abuse, infidelity, divorce and fighting over inheritance are the colors in this drama which is an adaptation of the web novel "What Comes Around Goes Around" (你也有今天) by Ye Fei Ran (叶斐然). Exciting! Ye Fei Ran successfully mixed his romantic drama with articles in the marriage law, including loopholes that can be used to win a lawsuit.

The casting is also clever. The seven advocates are beautiful and handsome. Typical Chinese drama. ?? Their acting is very capable, and most importantly: The two main actors managed to provide adorable chemistry!

Romantic scenes intertwine with hilarious behavior, including Tan Li Min who plays Qian Heng's mother, and He Wen Jun who plays lawyer Bao Rui.

Unfortunately, screenwriter Li Jing Ling was so engrossed in concocting casting and scenes that she failed to compose the story as a whole. The puzzles are scattered, don't connect, and don't complement each other.

Like the story of Cheng Yao who still has an older sister named Cheng Xi and intact parents. They only appear before scenes that cause friction. Cheng Xi suddenly appears to entrust a puppy that Qian Heng doesn't like.

Cheng Yao's parents suddenly appeared at Cheng Yao and Qian Heng's rental house. And coincidentally they caught Qian Heng on a date planned by Cheng Yao and Qian Heng's mother.

They appear without a prologue that they are a close-knit family like families in eastern culture.

Another hole is the scene of proving family relationships with a DNA Paternity Test which seems easy. The fact is, it's not that simple.

No wonder the Chinese drama "My Boss" only got a rating of 8.0 on Mydramalist. The numbers are actually quite good. Perhaps the audience appreciates the difficulty of novel writers and screenwriters in presenting drama in dealing with divorce cases, complete with legal regulations.

Hehehe, imagine Chen Xing Xu as lawyer Qian Heng memorizing chapter and verse completely. If you make a mistake, a real lawyer will sue you. ??

So, eniwei baswei…. Chinese drama "My Boss" is recommended to enjoy. Just don't think about imitating.??

Fall and accidentally lips meet lips?

Omaygat, I think there are only Chinese dramas that highlight good looks and beauty. It turns out that I also encountered this scene in the drama "Business Proposal"

Overall, the Korean drama "Business Proposal" is indeed similar to Chinese dramas such as the dramas "Love in Time" and "Be with You" which are studded with accidental, coincidental and 'magic' scenes.

What is meant by magic is an unreasonable scene like, suddenly Shin Ha Ri opens an umbrella for Kang Tae Moo, even though his hands were empty before, he didn't bring an umbrella. ️

There is also a coincidental scene that ends in a cliché like when Shin Ha Ri is afraid that her grandfather, Kang Tae Moo, who is desperate to defecate, pulls each other on the door handle and ends up falling for the grandfather.

The grandfather is the owner of an international company, you know, why isn't he escorted until he gets the right facilities? ️

But.., because the drama "Business Proposal" is studded with beautiful and handsome stars, I really recommend watching it for entertainment and not to be annoyed.??

Very happy to see the acting and beauty of Seol In-A who once played the role of Jo Hwa-Jin in Mr. Queen, who formed a friendship with the beautiful Kim Se-Jeong

And the bromance between the handsome Kim Min-Kyu and Ahn Hyo-Seop.

That is, the drama could present a story that does not make sense. However, it is obligatory to provide maximum entertainment for the audience.
