Beautiful Gong Shim Episode 1
2 people found this review helpful
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
2 people found this review helpful
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.

Mirror of the Witch Episode 4
2 people found this review helpful
Yoon Shi Yoon delivers a riveting performance as Heo Jun in this episode. Holy feelings. I felt the urge to cry my eyes out with this guy. Sadly I fear it is not the end of his tears here.
No. Episode 4 is a doozy. Not only are the writers of Mirror of the Witch letting us know that it's life and death here, it's going to spill over into the next episode. Episode 1 was not a fluke. This is dark fantasy and by--my breaking heart--characters will/are dying.
There were some tropes here. Choi Hyun Seo definitely is paying dearly for not sharing information. Annoying yes, but I accept it. Because he PAYS for it. Though I wander why such great men always get stuck with weak women? I blame an arranged marriage in the case of Choi Hyun Seo and his wife. Though I would have thought she'd know enough that the Chief Shaman is evil, and her husband is a great man.
This signals the first quarter of this story, and the point in which I decide to continue or drop a series. Well I'm continuing it! If they keep up this pace there's endless possibilities for the story! No fillers. I believe there are still enough side characters to keep things going there's a lot of working gears here. Not to mention that I'm invested. It seems like side characters such as Poong Yeon and Soon Hwea won't be getting much time. Instead they're damsels.
That's right Seo Ri's brothers are the damsels. She will be in charge of her fate and saving them. Everything depends on her womaning up and making it happen. I'm sure that Heo Jun will factor in. But I am thrilled that the supposed damsel, the lady cursed, will be the one to save herself.

Rooftop Prince Episode 6

Apparently the writers have decided to go light on character development and unique ideas. Because trope after trope is being wrote in.
A new Chairman. One guesses who's mother that is. Psh.
Not to mention that not only are the flashbacks bogging things down. But this episode just flashbacked many times to scenes from this episode.
Pretty sure I'm invested. But I don't see what all the hype is about.

Wow, only 3 episodes left and Healer is still cranking out top notch episodes! It amazes me every episode is fully utilized. There is no feeler.
For the sake of not giving away spoilers I'll just say that this episode balanced the mystery, romance, action, and overall story perfectly! I can't believe I've just got three more episodes left!
I love how Jung Hoo and Yeong Shin's relationship is still developing. While Moon Ho never doubted whether Jung Hoo killed that man, Yeong Shin needed to be able to ask. I loved that Healer was trying to give her time to realize that she could trust him, AND that he wanted her to ask questions. There was this gorgeous dual scene where we get to see into both their heads.
Moon Ho may now be up on the chopping block, and I've very curious now if the Elders plan to get rid of him can still go into affect. Especially after that cliffhanger! Way to go Team Jung Hoo! Though I was really disappointed that Myung Hee has already been found out. But I suppose Moon Shik is used to people trying to listen in on him.
On a side note I love how Yeong Shin interacts with Min Ja. Even Min Ja can't resist Yeong Shin's charm!
Either way I can't wait for what the last 3 episodes have in store.

It's official Jung Hoo and Yeong Shin are my favorite drama couple ever! Maybe my top couples period. Either way this was fantastic! Yeong Shin is truly amazing, and I am so happy that she told him with or without the proof come back to her. Or if it's an innocent or guilty verdict.
Sadly bad timing ends this cliffhanger! May they're undying faith in each other live on!!
Amazing episode. Healer is full of well developed and tough woman. Myung Hee is entering the fight, and she's chosen her side. I'm looking forward to seeing what else she has up her sleeve. Brilliant woman.
The mystery behind the Elder is really driving me crazy! Will it be just a evil guy, or will he get the full Healer treatment and be a 3 dimensional villain? This episode was amazing. The character development was next level stuff and I love how the story keeps going on.
What a wild rush! (Especially that cafe kiss! Well, bascially that entire scene! OK,the entire episode.)

"If you send me away . . . you'll cry forever."
Yeong Shin, your the bomb! I love this girl. Her confidence in herself and her ability to understand what she wants. I love that she decides and stands up for herself. She might be afraid but it's worth the risk.
Not to mention the beautiful flashbacks of teacher and Healer. It makes viewers understand that this man was his father. What a wonderful story. It only makes this episode even more painful.
Thankfully it's balanced out by very powerful emotions of love. Wow. This episode left be breathless. Even with the "slow" moments it balanced out keeping the plot going and keeping viewers in emotional distress.
Warning: This ends on a cliffhanger that you will promptly want to follow-up with the next episode.
(Side note. Who were those other guys that held Healer back? Were they police on his side? More lackeys we didn't no about?)

That date! First off all props to my girl Yeong Shin! It might have been a crush and silly confession that her heart is too full. But she went out and got what she wanted! No silliness. Yeong Shin knows what, whom, she wants and goes for it!
The writers did a fantastic job with the date. Yeong Shin accepted the limitations and he gave her his answer. Not to mention that hand hold. It was more powerful than the kiss. The slow slide and finger weave. Yeong Shin in the light and Healer in the dark. Even with out facing each other or gazing into each others eyes the chemistry was off the charts! All of these tension is killing me.
It was also a relief to hear what Healer said about Yeong Shin being the woman to go to his island. She might be mad and hit him at first but she would understand. She'd dance it off. It's so magical how well these two know each other, and that the writing has created that type of knowledge. Three dimensional characters. (I know I keep saying it, but I can't help it.)
With all the storylines going I truly thought at some point a character line or a plot thread would be dropped. But it's all coming together beautifully. I'm curious to see who's "side" each character is going to take. Where in the event of things they'll be left standing. I'm pretty sure I know what really happened. But I'm curious about The Elder and how he fits in. Not to mention how Healer's and Moon Ho's alliance will hold up. Especially now that they're tentatively trusting each other.
Not to mention what's going to happen with Moon Shik wanting to own Healer. Healer really puts his face out there this episode. With Myung Hee having "recognized" him and tossing his father's name out it's all easy steps for Moon Shik to make the connections. Especially with Healer's actions at the end of the episode.
HIs passion is moving, but I'm so nervous!

"Do you believe in the power of everlasting love? We can make it if we stay together."
Ha-ha! Healer's mentor wants to make the moves on Yeong Shin, too funny! The way he was talking about her and making plans to swoop in once Healer was gone just made my day. Poor Yeong Shin she has no idea how man people are watching her . . . and wanting her. All for different reasons.
The mystery of Healer's father is tantalizing. Not to mention Yeong Shin's. Obviously there's going to be huge dramatic reveal that crashes Yeong Sin and Healer's budding romance. Or some where down they're romance line.
The dirty side of the news is very interesting. But I also like how the writers are making a commentary on how the news and law can come hand in hand. They affect each other. More importantly in law and news the rich can make it out. But the lower class get lost and screwed over in the outcome.
What I'm baffled about is the last episode I thought Healer was having his lackey steal the car so that he could jump in as the "driver" and show everyone that Bong Soo couldn't be Healer. And now this episode he is using his lackey for a bait and switch! Darn it! Wasted opportunity.
Yeah! Finally Healer does some breaking and entering. It was about time!
(Now excuse me while I try to find that song! "My Eternal Love". Also, looking for Jun Seok in the cast page didn't help me find the name. Who is that?!)

Well this was an amazing turn of events!! Moon Ho has guts, and I'm so nervous to find out if he really has done something wrong. I love the idea of him mentoring Yeong Shin. So Moon Ho cooks and buys up whole companies to get his way! Swoons.
But that wasn't the best part. Healer and Yeong Shin have such chemistry. When she was talking about her crushes it was so cute. Healer's facial expressions where all kinds of awesome.
The more I, and Healer, get to know Yeong Shin I really like her. She's so well realized. It's a true treat to have such a three dimensional character as the female lead!
I'm pretty positive I know who everyone in the picture is now! I have some ideas of what may have happened, but the writers are playing their cards close to their chests. The mystery is definitely my favorite part of this show. Not enough is given to reveal everything.

What a tangled web! Things are starting to clear up. The flashbacks continue off and on, but not enough to over power the story. I like the overlay that they do to transition from past to present. The style is growing on me and it's not so hard to follow.
The leads are very compelling and I'm definitely enjoying it. It's very interesting watching them interact. Especially as Healer is playing that goofy role to get close to Young Shin. (And I'm going to keep referring to him as Healer because he goes by a lot of names so far. It will be easier this way.)
The tabloid story that Young Shin is working on after helping that woman is very compelling. It's a tragic story and sadly becoming a common tale for women. Not just aspiring actresses. I wonder how things will pan with Young Shin doing the research? Not to mention what's going on with the Jian group?
Very compelling and again I can't say how much I love the action in this drama. This most be what it's supposed to look like! The scenes where he was jumping on the roofs in pursuit was amazing! The camera crew did a wonderful job.
It's official actor Ji Chang Wook as Healer is killing it.

Cheese in the Trap Episode 2
2 people found this review helpful
The plot thickens! I'm thinking illegitimate siblings or something? I like the idea of Jung being related to In Ho and his sister! The plot thickens. I love how intense this episode was, but continued to make me smile and laugh. Especially the jokes about In Ho being a bum. I wish our bums looked that good! Ha!
Any way the writing and pacing of this show is really great. I also like how it's showing us little tidbits of Jung's personality. Especially about how he doesn't like how people treat him. AKA use him, want him, and parade him around. The slow reveal is nice, and as long as we keep learning more about him it's all good.
Seol is definitely a lead that I'm liking. While at times I would like her to just say know, or do the smarter thing, she's still awesome. Especially when she wants to say something and is thinking about her friend. And when she finally does it's worth it. I also enjoyed that he "makeover" wasn't really a full body one. She still looked like her. (Though I'm sure at some point we'll get that stunning makeover. Though honestly I think her hair looks kind of cute. And I secretly like some of her frumpy clothes, those will dress up easy.)
The side friends are still amazing and I love the actor and actress. Bo Ra is so much fun and the actress is so cute. I love how animated and sweet she is, especially when she's being fierce. At this point I've very curious how Cheese in the Trap will go. It really ended on an intense note and I'll be curious to see how "dark" the melodrama and character history will go. I hope it sticks to it's lighter side and keeps a balance.
Most importantly I'm really looking forward to seeing Seol grow.

If I was forced to watch, and finish, a Itazura na Kiss this would be the version I went with. The actors an fun tweeks wit the plot are great.
The end is I don't like the Itazura na Kiss story never have. The way the male treats the female lead just doesn't appeal. And I'm still uninterested in the female lead.
My last three episode reviews painted this out well. But my interest was waning and this episode just proved that while it's different, it's still going to have all the base elements to it that have never liked.
Even with minor tweaks this is essentially Itazura na Kiss. In the end it's a story I don't care for.
The end is I don't like the Itazura na Kiss story never have. The way the male treats the female lead just doesn't appeal. And I'm still uninterested in the female lead.

Oh My Ghost Episode 12

Finally Bong Seon is fully present. And watching Bong Seon and Seon Woo interact truly shows how right they are for eachother. Not to mention that a flashback is shown of how Bong Seon was also a lonely child, and that two lonely souls had finally found eachother. Heck Bong Seon even gets along with So Hyeong. In big part it is thanks to Sun Ae shacking up her world and showing Bong Seon that she is more then her fear. That Bong Seon doesn't have to hold herself back.
That said it was inevitable that Bong Seon would have doubts. Seon Woo has spent a lot of time with Sun Ae. Some pivotal moments occurred with Sun Ae, not Bong Seon. Sadly Bong Seon doesn't know that he likes her when she is Bong Seon the most, especially the Bong Seon that Sun Ae has helped to grow.
This is an episode that is beautiful in the romance it's created. And heartbreaking because you can fully see why Bong Seon and Seon Woo can't be together at this point. Solid writing, and solid characters. Despite Bong Seon not truly be present, the writers have done a marvelous job giving viewers just enough information. With this episode and the last few Bong Seon has somehow become a fully developed character. One I truly love and respect.
It's also heartbreaking for Sun Ae, but it's also the first steps leading her to why she might truly be staying behind. Dying a virgin is a silly thing to stay behind for. Now experiencing love, that's something else entirely. However, the dark tones and sub plots that Oh My Ghost has been hinting at are finally coming to light. Sun Ae knows something is up.
Overall I hope the writers, who have proven themselves here, can create a great mystery. Not to mention wrap up everything. Oh My Ghost deserves a solid and complete ending. With 4 episodes left I'm on the edge of my seat.
