Another Miss Oh Episode 4
2 people found this review helpful
Holy cow, I thought she was strangling him! Not kissing him! I LOVE Yoon Ahn Na! Especially the actress that is playing her. The energy and quirkiness of the character is too cute.
To be honest I had my doubts about Another Miss Oh. Because no matter what happens between Hae Yeong and Do Kyeong it will all be based on lies until he tells her the truth. Normally I don't care for this, especially when the male lead ruins the female leads life and others.
However, that beautiful leap of faith and the dialouge sold me at the end. Enough so that I want to see this drama to the end. (Ah, the fated decision time of the fourth episode.)
Not to mention that I really like the characters and cast. The side stories and characters are just as intriuguing--maybe a little more than--the leads.
Not to mention that I want to see Hae Yeong over come this silliness of the Pretty Hae Yeong. Because now that she's had time to become herself, I think she can over come it. Though it would suck to have your name called and know it's never for you. The papercut scene with the love letter broke my heart.

Um. Well MDL deleted my episode review. So I'm making this one short and simple.
Another Miss Oh is definitely finding it's legs. I love the real world feel of this drama. How the character react feels natural. Then it's all tempered by the outrageousness of the characters! Ha-ah.
One thing I will say is maybe I misjudged the parents. Maybe the forced her out to give her a wake up call.
The cinematography for this show and the music is amazing! I love the shots and the OST songs when they hit the right cord.
I feel for Hae Yeong. To be called dirt and the back story is hard. However, I want more-more-more from my Hae Yeong #1. It seems a bit early to have Hae Yeong #2 (AKA the pretty one) back already. Especially having her work in the same place as #1. (It's a drama of course that's how it's gonna go. Not to mention the previews confirm it.) I really want to see Hae Yeong #1 stand on her on even though #2 will probably put her in a bad place at work.
Not to mention that I like seeing more of the warmer side of Do Kyeong as we get to know him. He's very kind. His sister and brother are hilarious characters I really like! Especially the best friend, Ji Sang, trying to interpret his sister's drunken French.
Fighting!

Personally I'd blame the friend, who should really be taking responsibility for what happened. He kept pushing and badgering until he got what he wanted. Do I believe that someone could destroy another person life like that? Yes. Could they do it so easily? With the right connections, yes. (I have experienced rich people.) I just hope someone tells Oh Hae Yeong that he decided to break off the wedding because his business was going under and he was wrongfully imprisoned. Personally he didn't love her enough to think for her and to dump her like that. No. What I really want to know is if that is plausible enough in Korean culture to actually happen?
That said it bothers me that Hae Yeong obviously spends a pretty good amount of time being drunk. She doesn't want to move on, phew dodged that bullet, or anything. Heck, get angry and move on. Instead she embraces pathetic-ness and wants to die. While I loved her solo tango dance of pain and stress relief, her dance with ongoing vehicles got old fast.
Props to her mom for joining in the dance. However, what was with them kicking her out? As parents shouldn't they know something is up. Or was it because she was basically an alcoholic? But her mom seemed more worried about how the neighbors and gossipers saw them. Accidents are apparently not supposed to happen! I really thought the silent dad's look was to tell his wife she was just as crazy and out of control, and he wouldn't kick is daughter out. Clearly he didn't want her to go.
Do Kyeong clearly is feeling remorseful. At least he's trying to do something, but you know . . . apparently since I saw the first episode Lee Jae Yoon has been bumped to a main role with his character Tae Jin! Yeah! But from what I can see of his character he won't be the one, and . . . well I already don't like his actions if you can't tell. Man does he look great on screen though.
Ugh. That ending. So the place she moves into had a door to the next room, that she just happens to break though. Oh, and guess who the neighbor is. =_= It's just a little too much. I know those type of tropes and random stupid plot lines are used everywhere. It was just too much. Really. They couldn't stop at them being neighbors. No. There had to be a secret door. Not to mention the visions . . .

Bring It On, Ghost Episode 2
2 people found this review helpful
Hey, guys! There's an epilogue after the previews! It's really hilarious and I'm hoping this is something they will start doing from here on. >_< It's just too funny not to.
What I really like about ghost Hyun Ji is that she is so physical! She can fight with Bong Pal, and is actually the better fighter! Strangely enough I haven't found her annoying even though she can be totally over the top. She's not as over the top as some female drama leads of seen, and I actually find her really adorable. Besides that she is actually helping Bong Pal out.
Clearly Hye Sung is the villain. I'm wondering if those possessed by evil spirits are marked then? After that shirtless/changing scene? Please-please-please dear writer let him take good care of those animals. Don't make me see another villain hurt cute fluffy animals. ;_;
The music for his show is so fun! The sound affects have really grown on me and they're done well enough that I think it fits the mood of the show really well. As long as there is no rooster crowing noises, I'll be Okay. (Curse you Shut Up Family.)
In Rang and Chun Sang are such a hilarious duo together. That little epilogue where Myung Chul was added to the mix was even more hilarious! I honestly hope the three of them will be acting together more. Not to mention that I LOVE Kyung Ja! The way she haunts those guys, I bet if they knew they would curse there good looks. Kyung Ja and Hyun Ji's friendship. I like how alive (ha-ha) the ghost community is here. Something I enjoyed about Oh My Ghost. I'm really hoping we'll get to see the bad ghosts and the good ones more. Especially the good.
Overall this is fun! Nothing strikingly new, but fun. I really like the energy of Bring It On, Ghost. Not to mention the cast. Sure it's not a showcase of brilliant acting, but I think it suits the actors really well and they're doing a great job. I'm looking forward to Hyun Ji and Bong Pal developing feelings for each other. More importantly I'm very curious to find out what happened to Hyun Ji and how she died. I just really hope that Hye Sung is not part of it. It worked out really good for Oh My Ghost to have the villain up front and center. I just think Hye Sung should be separate from the cause of Hyun Ji's death.
Well we'll see! (Rating: 7 Very, good.)

Oh My Ghost Episode 13

No, really! I was afraid to continue on after the last episode. Just look at the date of my episode 12 review and this one! Ha-ha. However, this episode was perfect.
Yes, some of the plot holes are still there.
But I couldn't have asked for a better follow up after last episodes bombshell. Bong Seon was so brave and finally told Seon Woo the truth. Which is rare in a drama. Normally when something like this happens no one tells anyone anything!
Both characters reactions were so real and I appreciated it. Especially as we get to see that Seon Woo knew when it was Bong Seon and when it was Sun Ae. Not to mention that he realized that on some level he had already been falling for her. Or at least caring for Bong Seon before she became possessed. In his search to find out how he feels and eventually his search to find Bong Seon again he becomes closer to Bong Seon. They really are two peas in a pod. Different enough, but the same in the things that bring them together.
The other restaurant employees are so fun here! I've loved every minute with them. From they're stupid and annoying antics. Seo Jun really shines here. I've always loved his character and love how he wants Seong Woo and Bong Seon to be together. Because he likes them both and wants both of them to be happy. No pulling an odd love triangle. ^_-
Also, we get to meet Bong Seon's Shaman grandmother. While we don't brush on why Bong Seon can't control her gift like her grandmother, or figure things out. We get a look into Bong Seon. Even if it was brief.
The mystery of waht happened with Eun Hee and her accident is getting closer! More importantly Sun Ae's death. I've loved the pacing of the mystery and how everything has fit so well together. Seong Jae makes such a convincing evil spirit. I'm really looking forward to watching not only him be bad, but Bong Seon and Seon Woo be a couple with everything out there.
Yeah! For the truth! For me this episode was everything I didn't even dare hope for.

Ha-ha. I thought Soo Hyun's mother was going to eat Hae Yeong up! Not so sure she was husband hunting for Soo Hyun or enjoying the man candy! ^_-
This was a great episode! By stumbling across the notebook that belonged to Jae Han he then had the steps of the cases they were on. Not only that but I just new, and really wanted it to happen, that Hae Yeong's brother's case was THE case. The last one, the really big one. But first we have to do Soo Hyun's case.
Though if Hae Yeong hadn't mentioned the last two cases to Jae Han they wouldn't have connected. But that's where the true brilliance of the writing is coming through her. All of the time lines influencing each other. The many connections that the writer is setting up deserves some kind of standing ovations and an award.
This episode had me at the edge of my seat as I made plot predictions and hoped nothing else got too messed up that someone would die again. It's very interesting to see the corruption in the police department so blatant. The other cops are fully aware that their superiors are corrupt. Not to mention that they can't proceed with any ideas, no matter how logical or the proof is there, until given the okay. Power corrupts and can hold back justice.
I really love the depth to the writing of Signal. Not only does it deliver brilliant plots, but touches on many hot topics that every police/law enforcement agency has. All this plus engaging characters! Ah! While this may not be a romance I ship Jae Han and Soo Hyun 100%.

"Who knows? Her heart may have never been yours to begin with."
Hong Joo may be evil, but man she hit that right on the nose. Apparently Hong Joo and Seo Ri can both see right through Poong Yeon. I loved that Seo Ri called him out on the carpet and told him that he was in love with a naïve girl who only new to cling to him.
Not only that but we finally get Hong Joo's origin story. While it's exactly what I thought it would be, I still enjoyed it. It's always good to know what drives the villain. Especially when the wrong doings that occurred to them to make them that way, are the very things that she caused on an innocent. Except it cost her victim her life.
I mean it, my blood lust is only growing stronger. A showdown better come and there will be blood! Hong Joo blood. I vote on a good beheading. ^_- (I told you my blood lust is just going to keep growing!)
Overall this was a great episode. We are getting a deeper look into Sol Gae, even without her own personal flashbacks. Everyone makes some progress and I greatly appreciated it. Not to mention that this episode leaves off at another show down! (They keep teasing me.) I am so proud of Seo Ri. Not to mention the poignant moments of true love, and selfish love.

What a cute episode! Ah. It gave me the warm and fuzzy feelings. To be honest not much happens, minor plot developments.
What it does is instead is makes me fall in love with Su Ho. Oh the smiles! He smiles so much in this episode and has so much fun. I love seeing him become his true self. Even as he does this cute smug face dance thing over "winning" with Gary. Not just the race, but at present the attention of the girl. Wow. My face hurts from grinning.
I have to be honest that I'm uninterested in whatever is going on with Su Ho's mom. It's some strange romance plot line? Either way I'm glad it's not getting much screen time. (But is that Gary's dad? I want to say no . . . )
I loved the depth of emotion we see from Bo Nui about for her sister. And it is true what Su Ho says: Bo Nui has given up her entire life for her sister. It's also fun seeing Bo Nui realize that other people have misfortunes too, and that they have them without her.
This has to be one of the cutest romances I've seen in a while. The whole idea behind this drama is crazy, but I'm nodding my head along as I "get" what the plot means as Bo Nui talks about her bad luck. Basically, you know, bringing everyone bad luck and cursing them.
Boy, with that cliffhanger and previews I can not wait for the next episode. Especially as Bo Nui fights the urge to be "selfish". ^_-

That's how you deliver a cliffhanger. Drop mic!
Wow, this episode was pretty potent stuff. While it bothered me before about some of the magic rules changing, I think Mirror of the Witch has it's footing. It knows what it's doing, so viewers can sit back and relax and watch the characters figure it out.
To be honest I am disappointed in Poong Yeon, but his current feelings are to be expected. It felt like he created this idea about Seo Ri. He didn't really know her, after all she was trapped up alone in the Black Forest most of the time. So it's undeniable that his love would turn out this way. Trying to obtain an ideal, not accepting the person.
So what makes true love? I enjoy the idea that Mirror of the Witch is taking on True Love. (Queue marbles.)
Sol Gae's role in things is driving me crazy as she's one of the characters that we know little of, and with only 5 more episodes to go it may stay that way. (***Edit: Kachiiing brought it to my attention that the show has been extended to 20 episodes. I refrain from passing judgement at this point.****) Sol Gae and Poong Yeon can save each other! That's all I'm asking out of that plot line. Not to mention that I do have a few other plot holes that are starting to irritate. Such as Hoe Ok's father.
Overall though I love the players setting up! The Queen and King are now becoming willful players, and I think they're both trying to no longer be pawns. This epsidoe does well to flesh out spotlight characters and some minor players a bit. Not to mention that there's a question of Seo Ri's twin not wanting to kill her. The twists that this episode created are just too good.
I think my show down--queue bloodlust--is coming!

Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 12
2 people found this review helpful
Well, bravo Gong Shim. Bravo. In more ways then one she took the power tools in her hand and showed him how to make a bed. If Dan Tae can't handle it, she will. Well done girl.
This episode, despite how totally awesome Gong Shim is, isn't about her and Dan Tae. Gong Shim makes her stand, but this is an episode about Dan Tae and Joon Soo. It addresses the tension between the two. Joon Soo unaware of the bigger plot, and Dan Tae already condemning him.
There's a crossroads here before Joon Soo. Up to this point he's been an amazing guy, and honestly I would have said until this episode that he would do the right thing. But he is an amazing guy. What wouldn't he do for the love of his mother? The final scenes of this episode where so intense.
I'll admit I miss the magicalness of the first 10 episodes. The humor and joy. This episode was intense and the final scenes had my heart in my mouth as I practically had a mini stroke when I realized that THAT was the cliffhanger. Dang you! The terror that Joon Soo may go down the wrong path is so scary. Especially since I love him! I love Joon Soo and Dan Tae's bromance.
Drama fans that's good writing. If only the rest of the episode had been up to par.

I love that both the leads did not insta-love each other. Su Ho's kindness has been what kept him coming back to Bo Nui to protect her. Now the one sided crush is born! It's kind of a relief that it's Su Ho who is falling in love. Oh, I can see Bo Nui lurking behind the computer listening to Su Ho and his first love! BUT at this point Su Ho is the first one to fully get the feels and to realize what is happening to him.
I am so happy that Su Ho has developed into such an amazing character. Every time he smiled in this episode my heart was happy. I love that the story and acting can convey that type of emotion. I will definitely be paying attention to more dramas with Ryu Joon Yeol.
I suppose it's time I mention Su Ho's mom's storyline. I'm wondering if that's Gary's dad? Also, I'm very curious where they're going to take it. Because it seems like his mom is in crush with the chicken man.
Great episode! I feel so bad for Gary as he just got blasted out of the love wading pool, because I am on teem Su Ho all the way. It's crazy how such a horribly started series turned things around. Also, I love that Bo Nui admitted that her "perverted mind" was the one that twisted the Shaman's meaning! Oh, and don't even get me started on Su Ho's happy head soundtrack that plays when he's looking/thinking about Bo Nui! Adorable guys!

Oh, and don't even get me started on Su Ho's happy head soundtrack that plays when he's looking/thinking about Bo Nui! Adorable guys!

Love Me If You Dare Episode 1

To be honest the opening song and credits made me think this was a copy cat of the many murder mystery shows out there. Then it started up with this crazy sequence of scenes that didn't seem to fit. I had the urge to just quit! But that's not how you try out a drama.
Soon the show evened out and things began to fall into place about the beginning sequences. You get the idea, but there's still PLENTY of mystery.
By the 22 min mark I was hooked. The actors are very compelling. There's something about Ma Sandra that just captivates me as I watch her.
I enjoy this setup of Bo being this mysterious (and extremely good looking) man living in a villa. There's something in his locked room! All kinds of mysteries and the sweet Jian Yao who needs to solve it.
It's kind of like a rough Beauty and the Beast setup. Don't go into the west wing. Can you love this monster of a man. So, yeah I'm in for trying this.
There's plenty of side story going on as Jian Yao's brother (but I'm thinking would be boyfriend? it was very unclear to me) is a detective trying to solve these missing person cases. Clearly Bo has something to do with crime solving.
I'm looking forward to the reveal of the story and development of the characters.

Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 1

This is a promising start! It's very straight forward. No flashbacks. AND we get a feel for all the characters so far. Bravo!
Part of me was really hoping that sisters, Gong Shim and Gong Mi, would be friends. I really want a drama where sisters, or the women, would have some kind of loving and close relationship. It can get tiring always have the leading ladies "cat fight" it out.
Gong Shim is awesome! I adore her. The fact that she stood up for herself to her family was moving. Just as it was heartbreaking to see how they've treated her and keep on treating her. Self worth can be hindered by those you love most, or are supposed to love you most. When she finally admitted that she was also embrassed by herself I wanted to jump in the drama and give her a big hug. I'm hoping this drama will let Gong Shim bloom from the "beast" into a beauty. Whether she gets a makeover or not. I want her to be happy.
The setup for the guys, Dan Tae and Joon Soo, was setup and solved already!! Ha-ha. I'm thinking that their story will focus on them becoming friends. Then the "discovery" will happen. Either way I really like both male leads and love that right now they're friends. Or at least a budding friendship. I also like that both have already met Gong Shim.
Meeting Gong Mi will come later I assume. It's said that Seo Hyo Rim seems to always be stuck playing such cold and allufe characters. Like I said, I really wanted to see some heart warming sister action. Oh, well. I really loved seeing the sexism issue at work for her though. It sucks being told by your boss that you've just been hired for eyecandy and you have to keep the male clients' attention. I'm wondering how sexual harassment in the work place is really handled in Korea. Because if you judge from dramas these ladies just don't get cut at the paychecks.
This drama was sweet and hilarious. Gong Shim's clever bike bell antics were priceless. I also loved how her honesty and bluntness with the guys shocked them. It's clear to me Gong Shim could very well turn out to be one of my fave female leads. The setup for how everyone ties together is pretty fun. And despite that I wanted the sisters to be friends I enjoy the face off that's being setup. (Duh, I'm on Gong Shim's side.)

Dear My Friends Episode 3

There had better be a better reason why Park Wan is doing this! It can't just be her mother's wish to not date/marry a married man or cripple. Because she's definitely doing something with both. But why is she hurting? I know only part of the story is being revealed but Park Wan and Yeon Ha are a couple I am already rooting for. They're has to be more to the story.
Jung Ah and Hee Ja's friendship is so moving. Especially as He Ja goes and helps Jung Ah out. This episode is a roller coaster ride of their friendship and I love this whole group of older women.
Oh, and the music is so on point. Especially during some of *cough* Hee Ja's desperate/foolish attempts. Not to mention that big "bebopper" music as the guy tries to put the moves on Hee Ja! Especially as she asks herself "That's gross. We're old what does he think is going to happen?" Ha!
Nan Hee is really becoming unlikable. To hold a grudge that passionate for that long against Yeong Won is tiring. Especially since her husband stayed with her. Yeong Won didn't have the affair. Sadly she's truly naïve.
Choong Nam is a mysterious character, and I'm actually starting to become curious. I'm looking forward to more of her. Min Ho finally starts to understand his mother, and the scene with him and his wife is moving. Especially as he cries for his mother. Realizing how precious she is to him. Jung Ah not realizing that her daughter is also suffering from abuse baffles me. She should be able to see the signs. As an abused woman. They both might be abused to varying degrees. I just hope the abuse Jung Ah's daughter is suffering is not brushed off, or simply a "gimmick". It should be addressed properly.
This was a wonderfully moving episode. Though that ending. I kept wondering how the Thelma and Louise stuff would come in. But I don't think--no--I don't want THIS drama to go that way. Hmmmmm. The previews make me excited for all the other story threads except for Hee Ja and Jung Ah's. Which is no good as they are such a great treat in this drama. We'll see.

Rooftop Prince Episode 10

Well at least Park Ha finally takes her chances and punches Tae Yong. Personally he deserves it. Because it's clear he is fully aware of the feelings he has for Park Ha. He knows he's going to be making Se Na his woman. But he won't let Park Ha move on. To be quite honest I'm enamored with the idea of Yong Sul getting the girl.
However, I'm pretty much giving up on any decent side character building. It's the bare necessities.
Se Na's burning hatred for Park Ha is super scary. And losing some of it's power. As I'm constantly wondering how she can justify her actions. She declares that she will "take away everything" from Park Ha. But she's done that many times over and over. Se Na keeps believing that Park Ha is sabotaging her because that's what she herself would do. But Se Na has to have some kind of limit.
For me this will be the last review I do episode wise. I'm power watching the final 9 episodes. I need this drama to be over.
