LOVE YOUR ENEMY

GENRES: Comedy, Romance

SUMMARY: Two high school frenemies, torn apart by circumstance, find each other as adults and pick up exactly where they left off.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Romantic red scarves, silly friends, lap running, demon lakes, generational distrust, golf courses, delirious smooches, loss and recovery, designer suits, and peach blossom promises.

HOT TAKE: I kinda knew from the get-go that this was going to be a silly fluff romance, but I was determined to stick around since it's been FAR too long since we've seen Ju Ji Hoon, never mind in something silly and animated like this.

For me, watching went like this: EPS 1-5: Just here for Ju Ji Hoon. EPS 6-10: Okay, this is actually kinda cute and funny! EPS 11-12: Fast-forwarding to the end because why are you trying to deep-dive into all these side plots this late in the game?

A decent show if you're into nice calm romance, terrible family tragedies, almost comically annoying missed connections, and Ju Ji Hoon in perfectly-tailored suits.

Love Your Enemy

I want to read this webtoon. I loved the story between Yoon Ji Won and Seok Ji Won, these two share a birthday, their name and the feud between their families. We see their relationship as teens and adults, how misunderstandings kept them apart and how this second chance brings their families together.

The subplots of the students at the school and the relationship between Soo Ah and Nurse Hong are also cute.

It is a fun and sweet story.

I recommend it!

Call It Love. 9

Story: 9

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Just Between Lovers (kdrama) ; When the Weather is Fine (kdrama)

Flat out has to be one of the most depressing but romantic melancholy healing kdramas. Male lead’s character is written in the most whump’ness way. Don’t get me wrong female lead’s character is just as whumpy, but oofing ML is dialed up to 💯 No matter the storyline flows excellently despite some questionable editing choices. Gosh knows how many slow motion scenes this drama, if you took a shot every time there was one you’d be drunk by the end of the episode. Despite that everyone did an outstanding job, both leads chemistry was oozing on screen, I mean honestly I’m a bit bias always with Kim Young Kwang dramas. For me there’s never a drama I disliked of his. He always manages to pull off excellent dramas (still standing on that D-Day is top fav) If you love melodramas, this should definitely be a must watch!

Wedding Impossible

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Wedding Impossible (2024, South Korea)

Director: Kwon Young Il

Writers: Oh Hye Won & Park Seul Ki (based on the webtoon by Song Jung Won)

Mini-review:

Well, this drama was entertaining, but nothing more. It was especially funny at the beginning, thanks to that sort of 'rivalry' between the leads. However, once they solved that and started moving into purely romantic territory, the story began to lose steam quickly. Tbh, I kept watching to the very end because of the sizzling chemistry between Jeon Jong Seo and Moon Sang Min. And I guess I wanted to see how in the world they were gonna clear up the mess created by the characters, which was pretty fascinating. I feel like the show would have been better if the director had put more thought into its style, cause the whole thing looked pretty cheap and bland. But still, Wedding Impossible is fun enough, and I can see fans of classic romcoms enjoying it a lot.

Laughter in Waikiki 2: A Review

When life overwhelms you with too many hassles, sometimes all you need to do is to remain still and allow everything to pass by without trying so hard to beat the odds. This is the exact feeling I get whenever I tune in to Laughter in Waikiki (2018). This followed-up season feels just as ridiculous yet entertaining as the previous one, and I guess you can just sit down and listen to the novel…
