This one is my favorite episode by far!!! Ah! And . . . Bong Seon is herself!! Because Seon Woo was open to her she finally wasn't just the "Sorry" girl anymore. Bong Seon is so cute and I loved seeing her peek out and show herself. I can totally see why Bong Seon is a match for Sun Ae. Especially when she bites a man for stealing Seon Woo's bicycle seat! It will forever be one of my all time favorite drama moments.
It's not all total laughs though. Things are developing on every plot level here. It's hinted that Sun Ae doesn't even think that virginity should be that big of a thing to be hung up on. So maybe after she finally "get it" (wink-wink) she might be holding a grudge because of how she died. There's been tons of mystery all around how Sun Ae died and Seon Woo's sisters accident. Plus, things are getting very interesting with Seong Jae. He is possessed. The hints are just too much!
Overall I think things are progressing well with all the characters and I love watching everyone interact! I great show always can pull off telling multiple stories surrounding the leads. That's what I loved even more about this episode.
Even more is that Bong Seon is finally developed here. She might be coming out of her introverted shell, but she's still hesitant. So I see why she believes she needs help landing Seon Woo. After all she hadn't bade any progress until Sun Ae was in residence. I hope that now that Bong Seon will be a willing host, that maybe both of them will be in-residence. That would be so awesome! Either way this was the best episode to date. Some of the best laughs I've gotten from any kind of TV show and I adored Sun Ae's face at the end! Best cliffhanger!

Wow! If that was the fantasy kiss, I can't wait for the actual kiss to happen! And Seon Woo just playfully "angry" bit her!! Wow!! Seon Woo is really developing as a character.
Not only do we get to see him playfully flirt and buy his ingredients. But we get to see him confront his bullied past. It was great that he could learn and grow from the experience and I commend the writers for handling the topic of bullying well. On both sides. Showing that even though Seon Woo is successful and amazing, it still haunts him. It also haunts the bully and both parties are affected by it negatively. But there's always time to grow and forgive/apologize.
At this point I think it's supposed to be a love triangle between Bong Seon, Sun Ae, and Seon Woo. However, poor Bong Seon has had practically know time to develop. It's refreshing she'll be going on this outing with Seon Woo, but I'm afraid it will be a missed opportunity. Sun Ae is so much fun and I can't stay mad at her for long. But her selfishness is getting annoying. She's only thinking about herself.
This episode was great bringing out the laughs and feels. A lot of big things happen here. Especially some hints to what may have tragically happened to Sun Ae and Seon Woo's sister. No matter what going forward Bong Seon needs some development time. Especially to grow a backbone. Obviously what she's doing isn't working. All of the characters here are wonderful and I want her to join the list of "wonderful characters". There hints that maybe Bong Seon does have someone who likes her, so that's exciting and cute. Let's see what happens!

OK, it needs to be said. If an older male lead can get the younger (significantly so) girl. It's perfectly fine for an older female lead to get the younger male. I see nothing wrong with that, and it bothers me that others feel that way. But then it flutters away on wings of rainbows as my absolute joy of this series continues. I Hear Your Voice is just that good. It's giving me everything I want and more from my drama!
Cha is amazing. Man do I have second male lead syndrome bad. The thing is he's so amazing that he could actually win the girl. As I've said this is probably the BEST love triangle I've had the experience of enjoying. I say it a lot when I review books, when a triangle of love is done right it's sooooo good. It's way so many shows do it, but few actually succeed.
That sad the court room drama was brilliant here. Cha and Jang are amazing in the courtroom together. They are a wonderful team. Also, it thrills me to say that Jang steps up. While Cha clearly got the majority of the "amazing courtroom" stuff. Jang delivers in the end. Making my hopes and dreams of totally amazing female attorneys/prosecutor leads seem so close. For this episode it was a reality.
Love how dastardly the villain of this series has been. So few pure evil villains ever feel so real, or evoke true feeling of terror. There's clearly some underlying drama to do with a certain judge, persecuted, and attorney that I am dying to find out about. Well done to the writers for creating such amazing characters! The story, feelings, and basically everything about this drama is so much more intense then any drama I've watched before. And I'm not saying it lightly.
On that note. Please let the old Soo Ha come back. His there lurking, but I don't want no damsels! Not from my female leads, and not from my male leads. (Besides the none amnesiac Soo Ha is just too amazing not to have around.)

"I'll Be There."
Who knew that a K-drama would take on of my most favorite Jackson Five song, and give me goose bumps. What a way to end this episode!!! Holy cow!
It's official Hye Sung is one of the most well developed female leads I've had the pleasure to "discover" in a dramas. She might be prideful, stubborn, and number of other bad qualities. But deep down she's a bleeding heart. Hye Sung has been bitter about what the past has dealt with her. Between what she is saying of "justice karma" and her mother she'll do all right now. Well and with Soo Ha's help.
The court battle for the mean girl's innocent was such a rush! It was fun seeing Soo Ha battle it out with Do Yeon. Especially as Soo Ha sees that Do Yeon hasn't changed one bit. And that by not admitting when she's wrong she's become a bad person. I'd like to think this is what will help set the fire under Soo Ha's butt to make her the public defender the people need. (Yes, so melodramatic of me.)
That being said the supporting characters here are amazing! Everyone is so well developed and I love the way they interact with each other. Especially Soo Ha's mom. Her mom is soooooo adorable. Plus, she never doubts her daughter. She might be the one to give her tough love, but only because she knows her daughter can give more.
This episode was one heck of a rush! It proves to be smart with it's cases, delivering a great law drama. At this point from the writing I'd take a shot in the dark and say that the romance isn't going to derail what is going to be a wonderful law drama. What I want even more is to see Soo Ha and Do Yeon battling out to the bitter end. Until Soo Ha finally gets her justice.
Now I'm off to the next episode to adore Soo Ha some more. He's shaping up to be one of my favorite drama men.

The cliffhanger I've been waiting for! The "chase" might be over. Which means, at least to me, that finally the writers should treat us viewers to some concrete information on these virus plagued vampires. Because I haven't really added anything to my "Mythos" list, other than the red blood cell thing and making some confirmed edits. So please, more vampire info.
Another slower episode for the series, but I can't look away. Ji Sang is still playing around with us, and Jae Wook, as to whether or not he's going to drink human blood! So clearly Ji Sang has never drank blood other than that deer when he was a kid. So what is sustainging him? How is he still so strong. Clearly more information on vampries, especially Ji Sang, needs to be given! I've seen him drink things . . . or making it look like he's drinking things?
Ri Ta has wormed her way into my heart, and might start to warm her why in there as well. Is it me or did that one scene with Ga Yeon and Ji Sang have more pow than the slow buildup between Ri Ta and Ji Sang? Because I'm a slow buildup kind of gal. Character finally having friendship and then more, is always something I go for. But Ga Yeon and Ji Sang have something there, hopefully Ri Ta and Ji Sang have some more development coming up. Because I really like the idea of these two, and this slow buildup. Especially after Ri Ta tells Ji Sang the story of how she was rescued. ^_-
Overall I'm still eagerly awaiting each new episode. While this on and the last have been slower, it's still developing nicely. Ignoring some key characters (which makes me wonder if they're waiting to pull a betrayal out or certain side characters are just to be there for stereotypes.
On the vamp mytho here's what we know:
- Red blood cells make them go crazy, but they don't need them.
- Vampire can't get too hot, makes them feel like they have flu/painful.
- UV lights still hurt their eyes, even with Ji Sang's special pills.
- They run cold, and it's painful to have a normal temperature.
- Other vampires can sense each other by hearing dolphin like sonar waves. (Or scent?)
- Can they control animals? Or just dogs.
- Vampirism is caused by a virus.
- Super strength and speed.

"Bad boys, bad boys! What'cha gonna do when they come for you!?"
Seriously the "bad boys" music for the vampire Bad Boys Gang is too funny. Every time it hits it's so over the top. In fact a lot of the music is. There's this campy vampire tune, an over dramatic one that really gets the blood pumping. It's both atrocious and wonderful. What's more is that in the middle of all that campy music is BANG BANG : Jessie J ft Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj! Crazy placement, but at least it was a bar scene.
The whole gang of bad boys intrugues me, while making my eyes roll. The cliffhanger were the Bad Boy Gang (it's official now) is testing Ji Sang out is an adrenaline rush! While one of the Bad Boys Gang (with super bad hair and a ugly bad boy jacket) makes these crazy evil smile faces at Ji Sang. I was more focused on him and what his next facial expression would be than Ji Sang getting shot at.
That said Ri Ta isn't getting any better. The whole idea is that she is still upset over Ji Sang being right about her being a bad doctor that she can't see past that. She can't see that her Uncle simply wants her to become smarter so that he doesn't have to save her. There's a moment when her mother (a nun) is being admitted that's very tender, but then she treats her patients like nothing. Never thinking that she could learn some things from her peers.
On the vamp mytho here's what we know:
- UV lights still hurt their eyes, even with Ji Sang's special pills.
- They run cold. (But why sleep on an ice bed and take ice baths?)
- Other vampires can sense each other by hearing dolphin like sonar waves.
- Vampirism is caused by a virus.
- Super strength and speed.
So far I like the slow reveal of information on vampires. I'll probably be keeping a running list at the bottom of my episode reviews. (Because I'm nerdy like that.) It's nice that the writers are trying to create some mythology around there vampires, and give them limitations that will hopefully be consistent throughout the show.
The rest of the cast is getting a nice development time as more players are introduced and stakes are being set. I like this slow tease where viewers can get to know the characters and not get an info dump. Or they're simply not given anything. It's probably what's going to save Ri Ta for me, as we get hints of her past and her current relationship with her Uncle. While the develop of the villians is really campy (yeah I'm mainly thinking the Bad Boys Gang) the new female villain seems promising. Though I feel like she might just be tossed in as a love complication later on down the line.
Also, I'm bothered by the timeline. As some stated Ji Sang was in his 30s and the last stated date was in the 90s. So I'm wondering if this is current time? Future? It could be the subtitles didn't pop up right to tell me the current date. So I'll just assume it's present day.
Overall I'm digging Blood. I love all the medical mumbo jumbo, Ri Ta and Ji Sang butting heads, the other doctors seem interesting, the villain is good eye candy, there's plenty of mysteries, and other interesting characters to explore. Even the robot doesn't annoy me as much. (Though I think Luuvy is still going to far.) At this point I think I'm in it for the long haul. Despite others I've seen worst acting, scripts, and dramas then this. Blood is hitting all of the sweet spots for me right now.

You're All Surrounded Episode 11
2 people found this review helpful
You're All Surrounded as truly found itself and it feels great to say that I'm glad I forced myself to stick around. It's been fun. Sometimes it's a risk to keep grudgingly holding on, and sometimes it pays off. (Which makes me happy, but creates bad expectations for shows that never turn things around.)
Everything good happens here. Well, I mean bad things happen, but what I'm talking about is plot wise. You're All Surrounded will not be dragging it's feet anymore. Dae Gu's secret is out and the whole team knows! Which means the story is just getting better and better. Poor Seok just can't catch a break, but this episode just makes me love him more. And Dae Gu becomes a cooler character. Maybe because the writers finally realized that Dae Gu was not interesting or likable? (Because I have serious doubts it was because the weight of his secret was finally removed and he became happier.) Either way both the male leads are great.
This episode is really building up the School Nurse murder. I mean a killer coming to kill the killer. The supposed high up official pulling the strings, may have an even higher up person to turn to? A-mazing!
And thank you, thank you, for the amazing scenes where Tae Il and Ji Kook take care of Dae Gu. It was such an "ahhhhhh" moment, in between giggling.
Again what a well balanced episode. All of the characters are developed and included. The cases as well as the Nurse Murder are balanced. The humor, everything felt on spot.
Except for the fight scene between Dae Gu and the Boot right at the beginning. It was horrible. That, what I'm assuming, was glass reflecting n front of the fight was cheap and distracting. Once Seok came in to save the day it was clear the scene was as sloppy as it looked. Because Seok takes what I think was a potted plant to the eye. And it looked like it hurt. After looking it up Cha's eye was actually injured. Hopefully the future fight scenes will be better, and safer for the actors.
It always amazes me how dedicated actors can be in there rolls. Bravo.
Now not to end on the beginning of the episode. This is one heck of a cliffhanger, and I love how things come back full circle between Dae Gu and Boot. With a karma twist.

Hi! School - Love On Episode 5
1 people found this review helpful
"Seul Bi. Come over to my side."
Wow! Who knew those words could be so endearing and sexy at the same time! Oh, love triangle! (Let's be honest the male angel doesn't have a shot.) This one is shredding me because it's been so long since I've adored the male lead this much! Then the pain of loving the secondary male lead, who is usually always the guy I bat for.
Episode 5 does well with mixing up the relationship of the students and how they interact. Definitely learning who likes who and how all the love ties are crossing over. The drama of Woo Hyun's mother is boiling up. Especially with the looks of Woo Hyun's grandmother being ill. This drama is soooooo happy and cute, I'm not sure how it's going to balance all the potential drama sadness that's coming its way.
Also, actress Kim Sae Ron--AKA Seul Bi--is amazing! She's 14, or 13 in US. I'm tired about hearing about her pouty puff look. That was only in the first maybe 5 minutes of episode one. This girl has range and is fast becoming a favorite actress.

Hi! School - Love On Episode 1

Just like the MV I saw for one of the OST of this show, the first episode is adorable! The opening sequence and the cut out to "present day" was a little wierd. After that things flow well and I like the world. So far things are simple, Lee Seul Bi is an Angel. She just goes about saving those who shouldn't die yet, and taking those who do. Suddenly she's running into Hwang Sung Yeol. Events land her into a mortal body. Comence cuteness.
If you don't like the sweet taste of this episode I'm pretty sure you won't like the rest. In general I don't like overly cute dramas. However, this one seems to be just the right amount. And I like that Seul Bi is a spit fire of a girl! It's nice to see another strong female lead in a drama, especially one so young.

The Master's Sun Episode 6

Most touching ghost story yet. What can I say, if there's a cute animal in it I'll probably cry. But really it's another well written ghost story. Oh, and with Nobody tossed on top, how could I not love it.
What's more is that the character development and plot is stepping up. (Maybe not the plot and answers, but it's clearly building.) Joong Won was A-mazing in this episode. While I may have deluded myself with who will win Gong Sil over, it's still so nice swooning between the to male "candy" (oh, I went there!).
Speaking of that build up all of those unanswered questions of what is the uncle really up to, Kang Woo what are you doing?, what really happened with Joong Won's kidnapping and so on. I love how all of these plot lines are building up, but I don't feel like anything is being dragged out. Bravo for great storytelling!

Speaking of that build up all of those unanswered questions of what is the uncle really up to, Kang Woo what are you doing?, what really happened with Joong Won's kidnapping and so on. I love how all of these plot lines are building up, but I don't feel like anything is being dragged out. Bravo for great storytelling!

This episode does such a great job with making my feelings work overtime. Sure it started off with a kooky marrying-the-dead plot! But it turned out to be a sweet, and of course sad, ghost romance. It was also cool to see another "ghost seeing" person. It's a shame she didn't give more solid advice and guidance, instead of cryptic warnings that are clearly foreshadowing some scary stuff coming up.
Gong Sil is definitely getting some romance. And the development between her and Kang Woo is very fun to watch. It's nice to see the "second man" get some development time. We still don't know exactly what he's up to. But it's clear that it isn't good and he is working for the "enemy".
Joong Won is in that cute stage. Where his cold disposition is slowly cracking for Gong Sil. Guys the feels!!
At this point I love swooning over Gong Sil and Joong Won. And then swooning over Gong Sil and Kang Woo. Both have reasons for them and against them to win Gong Sil. That's what I've always loved about the Hong sisters. They can write good triangle. This is one of the few times where I feel like it could go either way instead of the "main/first man" obviously getting the girl. At this point I'd be happy either way!

First up seeing Gong Sil possessed by all those different people, and then an animal, was epic! What a wonderful scene. Gong Sil isn't the only one possessed however! Tae Yi Ryung gets possessed/stalked by some kind of freaky fashion ghost. The best part is how Yi Ryung loses the ghost, and how no one seems to care when the next victim gets possessed!
Great ghost stories aside, this is wonderful character development time for Joo Joong Won. To me what I picked up was not only that his dyslexia is a side effect from his past, but that the mask of greed and aloof front are a form of protection. Betrayal is a hard thing to get over, especially if it's by someone you believed loved you. Not only does it show that those past hurts are why he is the way he is, but it shows a bit more of a tender side to him. One that, despite his desires, he still cares. And can't always ignore things.

Oh, this was a great episode. Good enough that I choose to ignore the silliness of all the ghostly happenings connected to Kingdom. Joo Jong stood up for Gong Sil and I loved it. Despite his pig headedness. What's better is that this betrayel ghost story got a good revenge ending. (Though personally I would have liked to see the wife embrace her husband as he "joined" her. *evil smile*) The chemistry between Joo Jong and Gong Sil is building nicely.
What's more is the build up of what happened with Joo Jong and the dark and mysterious Hee Joo is tickling my mind! I need to know the whole thing now!
Even three episodes in The Master's Sun is going strong, has plenty of plot to work with. The best part is that it manages to be dark and funny equally both aspects out nicely.
Kang Woo is still manly man candy at this point. Man candy with shadiness unfolding him in mystery, but still man candy none the less. I hope the show takes time to explore and develop his character. As I've found myself very fond of the actor and want to see him be given a chance to show is stuff. (And I don't just mean a shirtless scene. Though I wouldn't object . . . )
Now just make sure you have time to immediately head into the next episode. Because "this *bleep* just got real" cliffhanger. Was. Amazing.

OK, maybe not forever. But to be truthful most dramas take any where from 2 to 4 episodes to show their true colors. Which always annoys me. Instant gratification. We all want it, and I hate waiting to know whether something is worth investing.
The Master's Sun Episode 1 swept me off my feet, and then continued to deliver. I'm a fan of Korean ghost stories especially if they feel like this. It feels like Spellbound (AKA Chilling Romance). A perfect blend of horror--not too over the top mind you--and rom-com. But I can tell this is not going to be in-you-face romance. Which is what I like.
Unlike Spellbound, the lead girl does not know how to with ghosts. It isn't revealed yet, but she had an accident at some time and now is only able to see ghosts. It will be interesting to see her overcome her fears and realize that they just want help. Plus, the emotions of helping the ghosts out is beautiful. Whether feeling frustrated from the mistakes the living go right on making. Or how even in death true love endures.
Overall, I'm impressed and in it for the long haul.

The first episode was one hot mess, and the second is trying to get viewers on some steady ground. Everyone is there from the first episode and it's done well enough that I don't feel too dizzy. There's a lot of new kids in Kim Han Joon's family now and you're going to need to take notes--there's six now! (Or at least I am.)
There are some new kids in Kang Jung Shim's household as well and I'm a little iffy on how they're connected . . . there seems to be some details left out, but that's probably to come.
This episode was great in showing what this series is trying to present and I'm really excited. It's ambitious.
There's a lot of children crying here, so be warned. If you have a hard time remembering names now is the time to start taking notes. Because I have a feeling things might "grow up" again and knowing faces might not be enough.
