[theunexpectedkdramafangirl]

a few notes about The Midnight Romance in Hagwon

it's all too similar to Something in the Rain

lots of spoilers ahead

the red umbrella that started everything

the age gap (they're both 6 years apart) and the ages (29-35 respectively)

the frenemy co-worker fall-out because of a crush on the lead male

the co-worker bonding due to the secret affair

the apartment the lead female lives in

the childish behavior of the younger male partner to reflect they'll be hastier as they're more youthful, therefore immature and the woman is basically dating a child

the hard-working female lead whose life is ruined bc she fell in love

even down to the cast, the lead male was in Something in the Rain! He's familiar with the environment all too well!

The male leads names Joon-hee and Joon-Ho The OG actress SON YE JIN and the female lead's name Seo Hye Jin

Like I understand the director is the same but this is all too comical at this point. The actors have been re-purposed, and the plot has somewhat been recycled.

I was very excited to see Wi Ha-Joon in a romance where he'll finally be getting some action. I know a lot of us were just waiting on a kissing scene of his since he's been reluctant to give us one. But for the love of all that is holy, they even recycled his final get-up in Little Women in the final episode of Hagwon.

While, of course, I can't boil the entire thing down to just these similarities, it just didn't leave a mark because it didn't feel super new?

Jung Ryeo-Won is gorgeous, I feel like someone could bury me in her dimples. Wi Ha-Joon didn't fit into this series somehow? Or has he already been typecast? Could it be that he just didn't let himself be vulnerable with anyone in real life that he doesn't know how to act it out in a romantic series? I will never know.

I appreciate his vigor in running to dick down Seo Hye Jin but his romantic feelings in Little Women were more believable and they were literally non-existent.

I mean the soundtrack was every bit of soft. Bops all the way.

I enjoyed the heated debates on how to teach students rather than treat them as racehorses in a derby. I feel like if I actually knew Korean I would have learned something from this series. However, the plot twists and the sneaky conversations behind closed doors did not create the effect the scenarists were going for, honestly.

The downfall of two women who were behind most of the chaos that carried on throughout the show was a catfight? I've never seen lazier ass writing in my life.

Instead, the only breath of fresh air was the second couple defying gender norms that were heavily cast through the drama and lifting the weight off of the man of the relationship (Choi Seung-gyu) by allowing him to study as long as he wants, granted by the woman of the relationship (Nam Cheong-mi) who declared she was okay to provide financial support.

and last but not least THAT'S HOW HE FUCKING PROPOSED????

Rambling About a Show (12/27/2023)

⚠️SPOILER?!⚠️

I started this last night. I don't know why, but I had thought there were 10 episodes. Truthfully, there are only 8. 😅

Anyhoo, this was a pretty intense watch. Also, it's pretty violent. Then again, it's name kind of hints towards violence.

I think Nam Joo Hyuck was fantastic in this role. His character was pretty great. Speaking of characters. Choi Mi-Ryeo, in my opinion, as crazy as she was, was a likable character. Even though he's murdered people, another likable character is Jo Gang-Ok. By likable, I mean he's pretty entertaining. The way he's such a fan to Kim Ji-Yong(Vigilante)was pretty hilarious. Jo Heon is an intense yet interesting character.

I will admit that I felt like it had a disastifying ending. All that effort, and it ended like that. 😫

[nourhaannehab]

Vigilante 

When Kim Ji-Yong (Nam Joo-Hyuk) was a child, his mother was beaten to death by a thug for no reason on the street. The thug only received 3 and half years in prison. Kim Ji-Yong is now an adult and he sees that his mother's killer hasn't changed at all. Kim Ji-Yong takes matters into his own hands and beats him brutally.

Since then, Kim Ji-Yong begins living two totally different lives. During the weekdays, he is a model student at the police university, but, during the weekends, he punishes criminals who received ridiculously light sentences and continue to commit criminal acts. Kim Ji-Yong is now called Vigilante and he receives help from Jo Gang-Ok (Lee Joon-Hyuk), who admires him. Meanwhile, Jo Heon (Yoo Ji-Tae), who is the team leader of a police investigation team, chases after the man called Vigilante. Choi Mi-Ryeo (Kim So-Jin) is a reporter of a broadcasting station and she covers Vigilante.

20. Takane to Hana ( Japanese )

A tv show adapted from a manga ( that I particularly loved).  After her older sister refuses to go to an arranged marriage meeting with Takane Saibara, the heir to a vast business fortune, high schooler Hana Nonomura agrees to be her stand-in to save face for the family. But what happens when Hana meets Takane is an unexpected pairing of utter opposites! Although it seemed a little rushed at the end it was a nice tv show!

When The Camellia Blooms

Gong Hyo Jin has become my favorite actress in the past month or two. I have watched three consecutive dramas where she is the lead ( It’s Okay, That´s Love and The Producers). None of her roles remind me of the previous one. She pours herself into each role and gives her all. She is an amazing actress. 

When The Camellia Blooms is a drama that I was not particularly interested in before. Unless I had become interested in Hyo Jin, I doubt I would have come around to watch it so soon. It was thrown in the “I will watch it later, but maybe not” list.

I am so glad I found her and this drama as well.

Another great masterpiece from the Korean screenwriters. It was not predictable, or with silly cliches. The way they portrayed a single mother and her priorities was very well made. 

Kang Ha-Neul had not really caught my attention before either. I had seen him only in Scarlet Heart Ryeo, and he did such a good job there that I hated him and never wanted to see him again. He was a very surprising discovery in this drama, and in a movie called Twenty. I read somewhere that this was his first drama after he came back from his military service. Kudos to him, he did a great comeback.

Now on to the show. Thriller is not a genre I usually seek out of my own accord, but this show was very enjoyable. They kept the suspense until the end and made me teary-eyed at several moments.

Dongbaek´s outfits were fabulous, or maybe it is just because that eighties vibe is totally my style.

The title of the show is so fitting for the transformation you see in Dongbaek throughout the show. I liked how they pointed out with the story that a good person for you in the romantic aspect is someone who takes out the best in you. They did a great job of showing that through Kang Jong Ryul and  Hwang Yong Shik.

The couple had good chemistry. This scene when she finally starts standing up for herself, and for Yong Shik, and then they start crying was so funny.

All of the cast had outstanding performances, but a special shout out to Choi Hyang Mi. Hyang Mi had great character development. At the beginning of the show, I was not very fond of her. As the story unfolded, I was able to sympathize with her and my heartfelt for her. 

There was a good story development and there was not one moment when it became boring or had filler scenes. It was not too long and it let you see all of the main cast´s stories, without ambiguous endings. It has not received as much attention as other shows that probably have a bigger budget, but I hope that the people that run into this show get to enjoy it as much as I did.

On the last note. Pil Goo and Dongbaek´s mom were amazing, but the most important thing is that if you find Kim Sun Young, you have guaranteed that the drama is going to be good, just like Crash Landing On You. I adore her!

[what-breaks-my-heart]

Finally managed to start and finish watching Diary of a Prosecutor thanks to this Movement Control Order and I must say it was a decent drama and appropriate given the time of the year it was released. All characters had their strengths and flaws and the drama managed to demonstrate all of that within those 16 episodes.

Lee Sun Kyun as Prosecutor Lee Sun Woong reminded me of his earlier role as Chef Choi Hyun Wook in Pasta. Several wide shots in the drama showing him walking along the corridor of Jinyoung Prosecutor’s Office made me picturing him walking around with his apron on.

This was Jung Ryeo Won’s first aggressive role that I have watched so it was a nice seeing her playing a different kind of role.

Prosecutor Kim Jung Woo and Sung Mi Ran was the cutest!! I was so mad when he rejected her but to see Mi Ran going on rampage in the game was so hilarious! Not to mention when Mi Ran revelaed that she was THE GREAT KING CAMULOUS I WAS SCREAMING!!!!

The episodes felt a bit ‘episodic’ if you know what I mean. Every week the episodes focused only on a number of cases, which is of course far from the reality of working in the prosecution.

But the premise of the drama itself focused on the daily lives and struggles of working salarymen, so it made perfect sense especially with the title of the drama.

Overall, I had a good time watching this drama. 7.5/10 would recommend.
