Doctor Cha (2023)

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more melodramas!

I usually hate love triangles, but it wasn’t so bad with this show. I think it helped that the entire premise was so unbelievable that I was able to just sit back and embrace the chaos. 

What Worked 

The show did a great job at letting you know what you were in for right from the first episode—an over the top, unrealistic situation with fun characters. The entire plot was building towards this dramatic train wreck where the protagonist (who was almost too good to be true) hit the final straw, and gave the terrible husband and mother-in-law exactly what they deserved. And that whole part of the story was completely engrossing. 

What Didn’t Work 

The writers didn’t bungle the ending, I still liked it, but I think they played it a little safe. All of the messed up relationships that were causing the delicious drama wrapped up on mostly good terms. That’s a nice story in a way, but I don’t think it was as cathartic. 

Still, it’s a better story than real life, where men like the cheating husband often end up prospering, without really learning their lesson. 

The Performances

Uhm Jung-hwa as “Doctor Mom” Cha Jeong-suk. I first saw this actress in “Our Blues” and I really liked her in that. Though the writing in this show isn’t quite as good, her performance in this show was just as good and even better in some respects. Really fun to watch this actress at work. 

Kim Byung-chul as “Dirty Cheating Doctor” Seo In-ho. His character was supposed to be both pathetic and hate-able and the actor hit the brief very well. A lot of the charm in this show was watching him get his just desserts and suffer, while still being an unrepentant jerk. 

It’s not exactly hate watching when the show clearly wants you to hate him. The fact that I never got tired of watching him, shows just how good his acting was. 

Myung Se-bin as “Lady Cheating Doctor” Choi Seung-hee. This actor had a tough job to do. The writers kept shifting her motivation and relationships around and overall she did a good job making it work. I think her best scenes were with Eun-Seo, but she was still okay to watch overall. 

Min Woo-hyuk as “The Good Doctor” Roy Kim. I enjoyed his performance. It was fun watching him go in and ruffle everyone’s feathers by being a good guy who doesn’t take anyone’s nonsense. I think his arc mostly peaked early though and he was less interesting towards the end of the series. 

Song Ji-ho as “Doctor Son” Seo Jung-min. He had some great comic moments and I enjoyed watching his relationship with the girlfriend. It did take some time for him to really get interesting, though. 

Jo Ah-ram as “Doctor Girlfriend” Jeon So-ra. I loved this character. I really enjoyed her relationships with both Jeong-suk and Jung-min.

Baek Joo-hee as “Doctor Bestie” Baek Mi-hee. A good example of how a good actor can make even a side character interesting. I especially liked the episode where she helped Yi-rang after she got in a fight. 

Park Joon-geum as “The Worst Mother-in-Law” Kwak Ae-sim. I really disliked this character. Which means she did a good job because that was exactly what I was supposed to feel.

Kim Mi-kyung as “The Best Omma” Oh Deok-rye. She’s played a role like this so many times and yet I never get tired of seeing her because she still keeps it from being boring or repetitive. A national treasure. 

Lee Seo-yeon as “The Good Daughter” Seo Yi-rang. She did a good job with the role she was given and had some great moments, but there were times when she disappeared in a scene. Pretty good overall though. 

So A-rin as “The Best Daughter” Choi Eun-seo. They played it like she was some kind of emotionally unstable child in the first few episodes, which was unfortunate because the character was actually one of the most interesting and honest characters in the show. And she was mistreated by everyone. 

The show was at its best when they let this actor loose, and I was really impressed by her performance. 

Everyone Else. The show did have a few good moments for its minor characters, but most of the time they weren’t memorable or doing anything important. 

TL; DR: 

This is a show made for people who like melodramas. If you’re able to turn off the nitpicking part of your brain and enjoy the ride, it’s pretty dang fun.

Yay! The newbie (me) has finished 10 korean dramas

....... and here are my ratings.

- Ratings for: W - Two Worlds | Extraordinary You | Bring it on, ghost! | Hotel del Luna | The Tale of Nok-du | Run On | Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung | Romance is a Bonus Book | Radio Romance | A Love So Beautiful

- Also mentioned: Memories of the Alhambra | My Country - The New Age | Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol | Signal | Mr. Queen | Tale of the Nine Tailed | Goblin | My First First Love | Moon Lovers | The Crowned Clown

Let’s rate from worst to best:

________________________

10) Romance is a Bonus Book. Rating: 2,1 / 5 stars - skip it.

- I kept seeing this show on my dash and since my first kdrama watch was W Two Worlds with the wonderful Lee Jong-suk, I decided to give it a chance.

- But hell, no one warned me how bad it actually is. I’m not talking about the acting (the cast is actually quite solid), but I’m referring to... the plot (or lack thereof), the love story (let’s rather call it one-sided obsession) and the wasted potential. Let’s start with the set-up. A company producing books, a single mother who needs a job, her childhood best friend who works for the company. Yeah, it’s not precisely complex or inventive, but it’s something to work with. Create nice dynamics at the working place, have some yearning between the two leads, give them heartwarming moments and a confession of how they’ve always been in love with each other. There’s just one problem: she really never, ever had any romantic feelings for her childhood best friend. She keeps calling him a brother and insists on him being her closest friend (which seems a stretch since she lied to him for a year about her separation from her husband and kept sort of creeping up into his house to eat and shower there without letting him know). Anyway, I could oversee this (even though I hate the trope of childhood best friends becoming lovers in adult life just because one is a man and the other a woman) if AT LEAST we actually get to see her falling for him slowly within the show. But we just.... don’t. He confesses his love to her - as she is actually starting to see someone else, and let me tell you, she actually seemed to be into the second lead -, then promises her not to push his feelings onto her... but that’s exactly what he does (I guess I don’t need to mention I ended up not being his biggest fan), and she ends up falling for him for unknown reasons. Eh. Okay. I started rooting for the second leads halfway into the show. Hae-rin & Eun-ho as well as Seo-joo & Dan-i appeared to me as the much more shippable pairings. I might have actually cried for Hae-rin & Eun-ho at some point of the show, but well... Moving on to... everything else. I enjoyed some scenes in the company, but not enough that I could tell you any right now because there wasn’t anything very memorable. The show basically thrives in some random scenes usually involving one of the two leads rather than in scenes with the two of them. That random author’s suicide has stuck with me as well as the letters that song hae-rin has wrote to our male lead over the years. The talk about fears between eun-ho and that author has stuck with me too, but other than that... there’s just nothing really happening. I was patiently waiting for a plot to come but nothing ever came. It just feels like a bunch of really uninteresting subplots put into one show. I don’t wanna judge it too harshly, but one of the other modern day dramas I will discuss further down this list also simply works with a bunch of subplots coming together - and it’s wonderfully executed (it’s ‘Run On’, for those of you who are wondering!)

SUMMARY

- Favorite character:

- Positive: nice friendship between women (dan-i & hae-rin); delivery of lee jong-suk, jeong eu-gene & park gyu-young; one strong scene involving a life lesson every few eps

- Negative: no main plot, dull subplots... nothing happens, very cheesy at some points, the protagonizing couple is quite problematic and unshippable, their chemistry is not strong enough to oversee that; i really don’t know why people like this show.

_____________

9) Radio Romance. Rating: 3,2 / 5 stars - it’s cute.

- Radio Romance is the show on this list that drives me into conflict with myself. Because some things about this show are very strong; others (many) very, very weak. I guess the main problem is that the show’s set-up mostly shouldn’t be taken too seriously, but it deals with some heavy topics that need to be taken seriously. And unlike quality japanese animes or some quality chinese drama that usually achieve to make you realize what can be taken as a joke and what can not, Radio Romance is sort of incapable of keeping that balance. You gotta figure it for yourself.

- While offering a quite enjoyable cast and some quite different personalities within the show, there is no one particularly standing out. As you will see as we go further down on this list, this is not my only Kim So-hyun drama, it was also not my first, and I can promise you that it won’t be my last. I simply adore this actress, she’s enjoyable to watch. I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of her, which is why I checked out the show in the first place. Compared to her other characters though, Song Geu-rim is kind and nice and all, but not too memorable. She’s portraying a nice girl next door here with a dream to become a good radio script writer. And if not even her character stands out, as expected, none of the others will either. As for the plot... We don’t really have one, I suppose. If you count the plot making the radio show, I suppose then episode 3 or 4 is the last with actual development. I was hoping for more conflicts and plot twists involving Soo-ho’s backstory - and we got them, but very, very, very late on the show. Basically, getting through the first 7 eps felt very easy to me, due to the change of locations and relationship growth, and getting through the last 3 as well. Although the last was such a cheesy ending, you have no idea. The middle part suffered from a lack of plot and character development as well as it suffered from a focus on the love triangle - which I totally could have lived without. Like, istg, what was the POINT of this love triangle? Soo-ho and Geu-rim had to deal with enough things already, bringing in yet another obstacle through the tercero and putting the focus onto this love triangle was just soooo cliché. And don’t even get me started on how they also went with the problematic love triangle tropes rather than to at least make it somewhat adorable or funny. It was also boring. I kept pausing the episodes there and didn’t keep watching for days. It was only at the end of episode 13 that things finally got interesting again when we finally got to learn more about Soo-ho’s backstory. From then on, I was able to end the show within 2 days. So, no, the backstory was not the thing that drives me into conflict though. What drives me into conflict is how such a quite flat story was able to portray a very good, very realistic case of depression and PTSD. Like wow. This must have been one of the few shows, in which we have a canonically diagnosed character who does not fall into stereotypes and in which his depression isn’t used as a mere plot device to get the ship together and cure him by that. His depression is underlying at all times, sometimes more, sometimes less. He is told to get treatment (”no treatment, no medication.”), he has moments in which his depression mentally and physically restrains him from acting. It’s a very layered, realistic depiction and I adored every single bit of it. Meanwhile, the character isn’t defined by his depression nevertheless - there’s more to Soo-ho then just the depression, and after all, he was an outstanding character (to correct what I said before because I was lying xD). So... for all the lack of plot and development and predictable storytelling, the depiction of depression and the peacefulness of the protagonizing couple save that show.

SUMMARY

- Favorite character:

- Negative: unnecessary love triangles with unnecessary clichés; barely any plot; sheer boredom in the middle of the show; takes itself and its tropes way too seriously.

- Positive: complex character who is suffering from depression and PTSD; layered, realistic depiction of depression; adorable couple that transmits peacefulness.

8) Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung. Rating: 3,5 / 5 stars - nice, but it is no must-watch.

- I feel genuinely bad for putting this right after Radio Romance and Romance is a Bonus Book, because Rookie Historian was, simply put, muuuuuuuuch better. I got invested in the characters and their backstories. The story is quite more complex in retrospect than it seemed at first, but the show’s issue is that this is rather less apparent in more than the first quarter of the show. I really don’t even recall what happened in those first few episodes because it is rather unimportant for the rest of the show, with minor exceptions. The story truly starts picking up around episode 9 and has a strong run until around episode 15. The last quarter of the show then is wayyyyy too fast-moving, too many things happening and we barely spend time on things I then wished to spend more time on. Unfortunately, despite having a good set-up and a quite fine cast, I don’t think I’ll remember anything in particular about this show in a year. It’s a nice watch, even though I sometimes really had to motivate myself to keep watching in the first eps, but it hasn’t lingered in my memory after I finished it.

SUMMARY

- Favorite character:

- Positive: rather lots of plot; positive female relationships; feminism; shin se-kyung; leading couple as well as the second leading couple, even though romance is not at the core of the show; nice messages about morality and truth.

- Negative: the first few eps are really.... slow-moving. To the point that I’d recommend putting the first 8 eps into 2-3 eps and giving more space in the end. Especially the last 4 eps of the show are way too fast-moving. Furthermore, there’s some plotholes. My biggest issue though is the glorification of europe's christianity during the 18th and 19th century. I was not expecting that in a korean drama but it seemed utterly wrong in my eyes, specifically because the show used it to promote that chrisitianity promotes equality of all races and genders. Not to be a bitch, but europe’s christian beliefs have never stopped europeans from discriminating women and non-white people, not then and not now.

- My general impression of the show is quite positive, but I’m not sure I’d willingly watch it again since knowing all the plot twists and storylines actually is enough to be watched once with that show. An experience that I haven’t made with the other kdramas that are higher ranked on this list.

____________________

7) A Love So Beautiful. Rating: 3,5 / 5 stars - if you really don’t want to think at all and just watch a light, easy to follow show, that is your pick. However, NOT recommended for first-time kdrama watchers - it gives you a totally wrong impression of what kdramas are actually capable of achieving.

- I’d like to point out that this show has surprised me in a good way - but there’s things that need to be pointed out here, so let me make three paragraphs: the first will talk about my impression of the first 16 eps; the second will talk about the last 8 eps; and the last will talk about how this show was cute, but could have been incredible, but didn’t use its potential correctly.

- Episodes 1-16: Look, the thing about those eps is very easy to point out: it’s not quality and it is never pretending to be (unlike romance is a bonus book, which pretends to be some smart, adult quality show but is just trash). Those eps cannot be taken totally serious. You have to go in there knowing exactly what is awaiting you. I started it because when I saw the trailer, I immediately realized all the tropes that Extraordinary You (higher ranked, you will see later) was making fun of. What you see is exactly what you get: Clichéd characters, clichéd love story, average acting, average directing, simple dialogue, clichéd love triangle, predictable developments - a simple romcom put into a tv show format. It’s cliché over cliché over cliché put into a het high school love story. And you know what? After weeks of studying for and writing my uni exams, it was exactly what I needed. The show is so over the top with its clichés that it’s genuinely funny. The lightheartedness and the non-existing complexity just add to that. Basically, you could argue that it’s all so bad with its clichés, which is why it becomes hilarious. Unlike other kdramas, it has a straightforward plot: a girl is in love with a boy and wants to be with him. It’s as easy as that. The show clearly loves featuring every trope you could associate with het love stories, but honestly, it’s so light and breezy and such a fast watch (due to the fact that each ep is between 20-25 minutes), you will finish those first 16 episodes before you know you even started it (I made it in less than 2 days). I want to repeat here though, it’s not for someone who starts with kdramas and hasn’t watched other kdramas. It cannot be taken seriously - and you only cannot take it seriously when you have seen things like Extraordinary You or W or, I guess, a bunch of high school kdramas. But I’m telling you, this is the only Kdrama on this list that you can watch in the most stressful time of your life and it will make you feel better. It won’t make you cry, it will make you laugh, and the moment it is out of your sight, you will forget about it - at least, that’s the case about the first 16 eps. And then we get to...

- Episodes 17-24: guys, what have I gotten myself into? As these people finished high school and their problems actually also got more adult, I started to grow genuinely attached, specifically to the ship. When she got sick and he didn’t even know although he’s a DOCTOR? When she was sexually harassed and didn’t know how to talk to him about it because their relationship was filled with other problems? When he left for 3 years and later told her that he had hoped she’d follow him because she always has... and then she didn’t? When he said that everyone is under the impression that she is more dependent on him but that he is actually the one who cannot imagine a life without her? IT ALL HURT BADLY. Because 1) so many years passed in such a short amount of time on the show and it felt like someone was ripping my heart out. I got genuinely reminded of that stupid US movie “One Day” - and y’all know how that movie ended. And because 2) there was a very realistic notion in the adult relationship portrayed. Not only did it point out how differently relationships/friendships can develop once you outgrow your teenage years and start navigating your life by yourself, but the problems, the misunderstandings, the different perceptions of time, the different perceptions of how friendships and relationships are developing - I honestly could relate to it a lot, looking at it from a 24yo perspective because it is something I have been experiencing as well since I finished high school. You feel more lonely and tend to perceive some time as passing by quickly, other times, it feels like everything is going so slow. These last 8 eps completely differ from my perception that I had in the first 16 eps of the show, as the tone is much more serious and the things depicted realistic and relatable. I also sobbed a lot. I didn’t sob at all, ever, in the first 16 eps, but the last 8 were me crying a lot and feeling my heart hurt as the years passed by and these two just spent them apart.

- So, what do I criticize about this show? The show’s pacing. I genuinely loved the change of feeling between high school and adult life, between ridiculousness and seriousness, and I know the show wants to celebrate youth at the end of the day. But I honestly believe this show could have worked so much better if u cut the high school episodes down to 8 episodes and rather spend a few more eps exploring their young adult lives. It would have worked so much better because their young adult selves were genuinely relatable, as well as their problems. The growth within the characters, realizing that the way they acted as teenagers were often self-centred or that they didn’t think that much about the consequences or how other people felt was nicely done. The show had potential. The dialogues were bearable, the camera work had hints of something great. In other words, I believe that with more carefulness to directing and dialogue, the show could have genuinely been a quality romance drama. The potential was there, but it wasn’t used the way it should have been. In the last 8 eps, you simply get a whiff on what this show could have actually been. Because the realistic character and relationship writing was right there - and if it had been put together with awesome directing and better pacing, everything could have been incredible.

SUMMARY

Favorite character:

Negative: the show’s pacing; the waste of potential to be an actual quality romance.

Positive: the un-seriousness of the first 16 eps, which were just so clichéd that it all was hilarious, compared to the seriousness of problems and development depicted in the past 8 eps.

6) Run On. Rating: 4,2 / 5 stars - recommend

- I’m gonna be honest here and tell you something about me you might have guessed by now: Modern-day shows with no sci-fi nor fantasy elements are not particularly my thing. I usually sort of hate-watch them. Romance is a Bonus Book, A Love So Beautiful and Radio Romance are all of such shows and while I was even capable watching two of them without ending up hating them, they’re far from being my fave. Objectively, they’re okay-ish shows, nothing to be considered quality tv according to my cultural studies though. Subjectively, they just suffer even more from the fact that I’m very keen on being critical of such shows. But what happens when I find a non-fantasy, non-scifi modern-day show that is actually... good? Run On is the answer. Run On has memorable characters, their funny, unique characteristics, and simple conflicts put into nice subplots that often talk real-life problems such as bullying or self-neglegance. At the end of the day, this show is a love poem. It’s a love poem to self-love, self-respect, to friendship, to character growth, to family bonds, to achieving your goals, to making new goals, to kindness, and to life itself. That’s really what it is. You will find yourself in, at least, one of the characters. You will see them struggle, fight, grow, become better, and at the end of the day, the most important thing is that you are capable of living with yourself. I personally got attached to all of the stories and I adored how nothing was ever done over the top. Everything was subtle, multiple subplots working together... to form stories of life. It’s more than just a simple “feelgood” show and less than a devastating tragedy, it truly shows you life and puts it into an aesthetic form, that never neglects its reality. Which leads me to something I should point out here: it’s creatively done. From the fact that Seon-gyeom is waiting for Mi-joo at the end of the track to the drawings of Young-hwa that have Dan-ah in them to Dan-ah realizing that people experience the same things differently due to the fact that experience itself is different to everyone to Mi-joo imagining movie plots with the people she surrounds herself with to Seon-gyeom starting to live with Young-hwa in a small flat rather than to live lonely in a big, fancy hotel room - the things the characters go through in this show are not only talked about, but they’re often expressed through art, in all its forms. And these characters, these dynamics, the art, the conflicts are all subtly but carefully put together into subplots that form the show and very nice messages. The most important take-away I had from this show is that the way we treat us and the people around us is the highest form of art. And the show is a love poem to that.

SUMMARY

- Favorite character:

- Positive: the cast (especically the core four), the characters (especially the core four); the wonderful messages about respect, kindness and self-love; the subplots working together, reflecting how life is also not just some simple chronological order of things but rather multiple experiences that we remember and that shape us; life is constant growth.

- Negative: i think the only thing i truly have to criticize is that you never really know what the plot even is. While I do enjoy how the subplots all work together, I would have wished for deeper inspections of some plots. And while it is easy just for some headcanons to come to mind, I still think the show could have incorporated more. Considering the treatment of art forms and how it takes a prominent role within the story (due to Young-hwa and Mi-joo, respectively), I also would have liked to have some cultural nods and references - and interpretations. I think the show used about 85% of its potential - and the potential was great, which is why the rating is still very good.

5) Bring it on, ghost! Rating: 4,2 / 5 stars - recommend, especially good for people who want to have a focus on romance coupled with a supernatural plot and who want a happy ending

- While the story is pretty easy to follow, often seems to be predictable and familiar, the show still promotes nice messages about forgiveness and regret. The strong side of the show isn’t particularly that though - this show is entirely saved by the two leading actors. Kim So-hyun and Teacyeon portray two incredibly lovable characters you will see yourself drawn to. They furthermore have a chemistry that you just have to love and their bickering is just the best part of all. This is mixed with some tragic moments - in present time as well as in the past - and what you get is a romantic show with a bit of comedy, with a bit of tragedy, but with a very happy ending. If you exchanged the actors with two less skilled actors or two people who simply don’t have a lot of chemistry, this show simply wouldn’t work. Their performances are the shining light of this drama, mixed with some funny side characters that you get to enjoy as well. The reason why it ends up higher on the list than Run On - despite Run On probably having generally the better dialogue writing as well as better camera work and even more beautiful messages - is due to the sole work of the two leads who simply carry this show on their back and the fact that despite having some more or less necessary subplots, there is a main plot here that will take a faster, darker turn in the second half of the show. And I personally just enjoy having a main plot to hold onto as well as I always enjoy a bit of fantasy more than modern day real live shows. On top of that, add some devastating backstory and top-notch character development for Park Bong-pal, and a badass, slightly violent, sassy characterization of Kim Hyun-ji. This show will simply leave you with a huge smile on your face, despite being made for people who enjoy tragedy as well.

SUMMARY

- Favorite characters:

- Negative: subplots sometimes take the focus, a familiar story, stereotypical portrayal of ghosts (yes, ahre, i said it), no real plot twists (which can be a good thing, too, since the show rather simply unfolds each part of the story over the course of its run)

- Positive: the two leading actors, their incredibly shippable couple, a happy ending. If I was going to recommend a light-hearted, happy kdrama that has some tragic parts but ends happily and isn’t that hard to follow, I’ll recommend you this one.

_____________________

4) The Tale of Nok-du. Rating: 4,6 / 5 stars - strongly recommend.

- If you ever are in search for an unproblematic dummy as protagonist, watch this show. He’s a dummy you just have to love. You laugh about him, you laugh with him, you cry for him. He’s a puppy, you cry with him. And the best thing is, this puppy falls in love with a girl who can be quite rude and annoyed, but he always makes her smile and genuinely is attentive to her. The most frustrating thing about both of them is that each of them keeps a secret they cannot tell each other because they refuse to hurt each other - and this almost leads to tragedy. Better even, they’re portrayed by two very skillful actors. You’ll love them in the blink of an eye. And then there’s the cute second lead, portrayed by Kang Tae-oh. Yes, cute. Until he really isn’t. I’ve never seen an actor being able to turn around a character to 180° in no time. Some talent that is. And now let’s just say - the plot is nice. It is not the most complex one, but it is interesting to follow and you are always eager to find out new information to collect and put the pieces together. If you are searching for a show that is simply entertaining and nice to watch and featrures a great cast and nice characters and ranges from comedy to tragedy, this is your pick.

SUMMARY

- Favorite characters:

- Negative: the narrative change in the middle of the show that shifted the focus away from women to men (even though it made sense within the story, it was still a very sudden and harsh change, especially if you consider that these women were mostly slaughtered to death)

- Positive: CAST (specifically the three mains are just beyond amazing); an innocent, pure, absolutely adorable protagonizing couple that will steal your heart; feminism; male protagonist being a feminist who ends up working with badass women for his entire lifetime; directing; narration practices - this show is the one that draws the line between the ones i discussed above and the really great ones because it is the first on the list to be capable of telling a story by constantly keeping your nerves up while also not overstimulating the viewer with too much information at once. Only the other 3 shows which will follow now were able to do the same - and it’s what makes people watch or quit, and that’s why it’s so important: constant plot development, no unnecessary side plots, and handing your audience enough information to make them keep watching but not enough to guess the entire plot yet. The Tale of Nok-du was able to do exactly that and I honestly enjoyed the ride.

_____________________

3) W - Two Worlds. Rating: 4,8 / 5 stars - strongly recommend, must watch.

- I’d like to point out first that my top 3 are interchangeable. I sometimes tend to change my mind which one of the three I adore the most, and W is definitely in those top 3. Firstly, I’d like to let you know that W was my first Kdrama watch. And it blew me away. I was in awe with Lee Jong-suk, with Han Hyo-joo, with the narration of this drama, with the plot, with the direction, with the leading couple, the cast, THE DIALOGUE. Everything about this drama was excellently executed. The slow-moving narration in episode 1, the extra long scene of Chul holding the writer at gunpoint, the writer ‘becoming’ the killer (which he has always been anyway), the philosophy behind it, the creativity. I was blown away by literally everything about this drama and I believe it to be one of the strongest dramas ever made. Furthermore, what I also really adored, is that you don’t need to necessarily be into the couple in order to enjoy this show anyway because the plot takes the spotlight - but since the couple is always involved in the main plot, you get to enjoy plot, dialogue and couple at once. An interesting thing that I want to note here is that a few weeks after finishing the show, I stumbled upon reddits criticizing Lee Tae-hwan for his acting in general. I don’t know if he just perfectly suited the role of Chul’s bodyguard in W, but I highkey enjoyed watching him in this drama.

SUMMARY

- Favorite characters:

- Negative: I would have adored if Yeon-joo took a more prominent role in the resolution of the story (last 2 episodes) since the ‘hero arc’ went all to Chul there. And another negative aspect is that the show lives from very strong dialogues throughout all episodes, all incredible, all amazing and then - the very last scene. The last words spoken on the show, as a voice-over of Chul and Yeon-joo, are rather dull compared to the rest of the show.

- Positive: narration device, leaving out information to fill us in later and blowing our minds away (PEOPLE, I THOUGHT CHUL DIED), complex main characters, complex plot, no unnecessary subplots, no unnecessary romantic drama, no unnecessary cheesiness, DIALOGUE, direction, the cast in general*.

*I tried Memories of the Alhambra, as I found out that the same people who also made W were in charge of that drama, and I have to admit that I was intensely let down, specifically by the casting. Hyun Bin was alright-ish (not very memorable though), but Park Shin-hye was unbearable for me after episode 3. I stopped watching. If the plot was as interesting as the one of W though, I would have kept watching. But seeing as nothing really happened in those first 3 eps other than the lead killing his old best friend and playing video games that appear to turn into reality, I felt like I was wasting my time.

_________________

2) Extraordinary You. Rating: 5 / 5 stars - strongly recommend for hopeless romantics, people who suffer from second lead syndrome and people who like getting into philosophical debates.

- Extraordinary You was the second kdrama I ever watched. And. And. And. And I almost gave it up after episode one. It seemed somewhat ridiculous to me, way too fast-moving. I would regret my entire life if I had given it up right there and then. Because PEOPLE, IT IS SO GOOD. Not only does it feature a very healthy main couple, it leaves you emotionally devastated because there’s a backstory that you only get to know in the second half of the show but which influences your entire perception of the first half - and jeez, by the time I reached half of the show, I was yelling and screaming and crying my eyes out. You ever want to see a love so deep that it transcends consciousness and universes? A love so deep that time and space become mere nothings? That’s what you get in this show. And one of the best parts is that the ‘’’’’actual’’’’’ lead (in the ancient story within the show, not the story of the show) aka Baek Kyung* does NOT get the girl. But that doesn’t mean you won’t fricking suffer with him. Jeez, I bawled my eyes out for him, too. But Haru/Dan-oh, guys, they’re.... everything. Oh and all of that is nicely mixed up in a strong, complex plot that leaves nothing unexplained. Not everything is explained through words - the show is high on symbolism rather than dialogue - but everything makes sense. And the ending, oh that stupid ending. As beautiful as heartbreaking. Since the plot is put into a philosophical perspective throughout the show, the show also raises questions about existence and being. Yes, I yelled when Heidegger was mentioned. So not only do you get to see a beautiful, heartbreaking love story; adorable, complex characters; time-and-space-transcending friendships, you also get to laugh, cry and think about your own existence and your own place in this world. This show is a delight.

SUMMARY

- Favorite character:

- Negative: you will cry and cry and cry and then laugh and then cry and cry and cry. It’s really not fun. Emotionally devastating. No, but for real... I wished we had a more complex depiction of the female characters that aren’t Dan-oh (specifically Ju-da, Sae-mi and Su-hyang), and a bit less focus on the guys therefore (I love them all but I thought the girls could have gotten some screen time of theirs while I would have accepted Jinmichae, Do-hwa and Nam-ju to get a bit less)

- Positive: Honestly? EVerything. Directing, casting, characterization, narration, love story, friendships, everything.

-  *Let me say something about Baek Kyung, portrayed by Lee Jae-wook. That character could have simply been an asshole. The set-up was there, the writer of the comic also made him that way. But Lee Jae-wook has portrayed this character with so much depth that it is impossible not to feel bad for him. His entire life stages (hahahaha, I’m so funny) are a tragic mess. The fact that he eventually realizes that who he is and who the writer made him are eventually indeed two different people after all - but that they both share being in love with Eun Dan-oh - is as important as it is devastating. Cause it makes you realize that he can finally move his life more freely with that knowledge - become a better person outside of the stages (only if given the chance by the writer though) - while also never finding a happy ending. Firstly, because happy endings don’t exist in their world anyway because endings - if happy or sad - are always endings to these characters’ existences and because it is glaringly obvious his happy ending would include having Dan-oh by his side also outside of the stages. That is denied to him and will always be denied to him. And as a viewer, you understand that and you want nothing else, but the fact that he doesn’t even appear in the new story, not getting a chance at a new life this time, just adds a tragic notion onto all of this that no one asked for. I’d like to thank Lee Jae-wook here for such an incredible portrayal. I started Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol because of him and, unfortunately, had stop watching after 2 episodes because Go A-ra is simply... a terrible actress. I can’t put it any other way. I’m looking forward to other dramas with him and the rest of the cast though. Extraordinary You definitely had a huge advantage already by having a quite young, but incredibly talented mass of actors and actresses.

*drumroll*

1) Hotel del Luna. Rating: 5 / 5 stars - strongly recommend, must watch.

- It wasn’t thaaaat surprising to me that I would love this show. It was rather.... obvious that this would happen because a fantasy show set in modern day with the involvement of other time eras and a badass, broken, strong female lead is simply my taste. What I did not expect was this to become my favorite tv show of all time. I don’t even know where to start. I guess Jang Man-wol is a good starting point. Because I live for such characters. Characters like hers are precisely of my taste (I had similar people to her before - Ámbar Smith from Argentina’s Soy Luna or Melody Paz from Argentina’s Casi Ángeles - and also after her - Seo Dan-ah from Korea’s Run On), but Jang Man-wol takes the no.1 spot in all tv characters ever. She’s so layered, so complex, so well-written. She’s not predictable, but she’s also not ever surprising. She comes across as one of the most relatable tv characters you could ever see because she isn’t just one thing. She’s very contrary, she can be soft and loving or harsh and ruthless, sometimes all at the same time. She can be forgiving, she can be arrogant, self-hating, self-loving, lazy, passionate, she is quite literally everything. And while in the show’s set-up she is punished for hundreds of years when other, much more problematic people were allowed to leave this world sooner than her, the narrative wants you to feel sorry for her. You see her flaws, you see she’s anything but perfect but it won’t make you conclude that her punishment was ever deserved. The more you get into this show, the more you will ache. Because you know that there is only one possible ending to the show - for her to finally find peace. And that... that can only be achieved if she finally is allowed to leave this world. And it hurts and pains because, obviously, there is a love story. A love story that goes back to when she was a child 1,300 years ago. A love story that reunites her with the guy who saved her these 1,300 years ago and who now finds her again, someone who makes her care about her life again. As deeper as you go into the show, the more you will cry, the more you will suffer. And you will feel conflicted. You will want her to get her revenge while you will want to protect her. You will want her to finally be able to leave this world, but you won’t want her to leave Chan-sung. You will want her to actually care about her own fate while you will also want her to make the mistakes that worsen everything. It is a beautiful character put into a story that mixes fantasy, comedy, tragedy, soulmates, life, death, revenge, a stunning cinematography and strong dialogues into one. And what you get is the probably best show ever made.

SUMMARY

- Favorite character:

- Negative: There is really only one minor thing I’d criticize. While all the chars are rather complex and all subplots and character arcs work within the main plot frame and round up the entire story perfectly, there is one subplot I personally got a bit tired of because it is definitely the most unconnected one to the main plot - this concerns the romance arc of yu-na and hyun-joong. I wasn’t hating it, but I just didn’t need it for this story.

- Positive: This show has everything. I told you above already all the things I like. On top of that, I’d like to add that it has a beautiful found family story arc, promotes wonderful messages, has gotten itself the most excellent leading actress with IU who just beautifully portrays Jang Man-wol in all her depth. The show leaves you with your heart aching while there will be a smile on your face. Emotional devastation is just how this show works.

Review: My Girl (2005)

I'm not quite sure why they call Yoo Rin a "con artist," but other than that this drama is sooo enjoyable.

Synopsis

Joo Yoo Rin is a tour guide living on Jeju Island who has lived in many different places with her dad, who is a compulsive gambler. When the loan sharks that her dad has borrowed from to fund his habit show up to collect, they begin to go after her for their money. In the ensuing chase, she nearly runs into a car driven by Seol Gong Chan, the heir to an upscale hotel chain, who was in town to check on their resort. One thing leads to another, and after Gong Chan realizes that Yoo Rin speaks Japanese and is a pretty convincing liar, he hires her to pretend to be his long-lost half-Japanese cousin, who was widely believed to be dead when her family was caught in a devastating earthquake. The arrangement starts off fine, though slowly but surely the two “cousins” begin to catch feelings for each other, despite the fact that Gong Chan is dating Kim Se Hyun, a Korean tenis star, and that as his long-time friend Seo Jeong Woo attempts to capture Yoo Rin’s heart. As Yoo Rin and Gong Chan try to keep their secret under wraps, their growing feelings and their friends’ and family’s meddling begin to derail their lies. Will they be able to be together, or will their lies keep them apart?

Overall: 10/10, would watch again

This has to be one of the cringiest love triangles (squares?) ever written, but not so much that you can't get into it. As someone watching in 2021, this show actually holds up pretty well, with the obvious exceptions of style (hindsight is 20/20). If you want something funny, dramatic, and sweet, this is your show. Even though the ending takes a while to wind down, the final scene is so funny that you almost can't help but leave on a good note. What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? (2018) or Full House (2004) would be excellent follow up shows, though for different aspects of this show.

Review

I am slowly but surely making my way through the top k-dramas of the 2000s, so I knew My Girl would be a must. What I didn’t know was that it would actually hold up so well. It has all the essentials: main leads with awesome chemistry, a solid group of likable side characters, a secret that can’t be easily revealed, and meddling second leads that you don’t like enough to root for but you don’t dislike enough to not feel bad for their plight. I was expecting way more melodrama and leading-man-pining-over-second-leading-woman, which of course we do get. I felt that this show didn’t dwell on it as much as others from the same time (My Lovely Sam Soon (2005) and Full House (2004) being the first examples that come to mind). There were many funny scenes between the main leads, and Jeong Woo was always there when Gong Chan was going back to Se Hyun for whatever reason, so our Yoo Rin was never left out in the cold for long. 

What’s more, it actually has an interesting storyline, and knows that it is doing something different from what might be expected. I kid you not, there is a whole scene where they make fun of a potential plot, which was also the theory I had for the show. I am so glad that they didn’t do that ending, but the ending that we did get was extremely drawn out. As I pointed out in my True Beauty post, I HATE time jumps. This one had a bit more going for it because it made some sense to have distance, but it really came out of nowhere. I would have preferred that they didn’t have it, but at the end of the day the show ended nicely. Besides this, my only other semi-complaint about the show is that Se Hyun’s character was so indecipherable. Not in a good way where she is acting in a particular way and we are trying to figure out her motivations, but that her motivations are all over the place and lead to her acting in weirdly conflicting ways. They try to give her some scenes where she shows her inner conflict that leads to her actions, but ultimately if they were trying to portray someone with inner and outer conflict, they should have just given her more screen time. Then again, I say this knowing that my favorite second leading women have all had pretty clear cut motivations with trajectories that lead them to a happy-ish ending. That said, I’m still not over how they did Seo Dan in Crash Landing on You (2019), but that is a post for another day!  

This show is definitely worth a watch!

OMFG, I’m dying.

The coast guard(?) slamming the door shut when seeing Se Ri and Jeong Hyeok kissing.

Jeong Hyeok and Se Rin lunging at each they open the door again.

My TOP 10 Favorite K-Drama (part 3)

6. Princess Hours (2006)

Drama terjadul di list ini. Wkwkwkwk. Aku baca komiknya btw kalo drama ini, sebelum nonton dramanya. Dan emang sih ini drama beneran ngikutin alur komiknya (bahkan endingnya juga). Sebenernya kalo diinget-inget lagi, aku pas baca komiknya ngerasa gak puas banget sama komiknya. I mean,kalo udah sengsara-sengsara begitu, bagian happy nya banyakin kek. Eh, taunya dramanya ngikut rute itu. Buat ukuran sekarang, cerita ini nyebelin banget sebenernya. Wkwkwk. Tapi aku masukin karena ide ceritanya original banget.

Gimana kalo dinasti kerajaan korea masih eksis?? 

(lah, jadi inget The King Eternal Monarch) 

Gimana kalo masih ada pangeran kerajaan Korea dan dia satu sekolah sama kamu?!! 

(gak tau kenapa ini ide FF banget ya,dan bikin inget Drama Thailand The Shipper, wkwkwk) Seru kan idenya?

Heroine cerita ini, Shin Chae Kyung (diperankan oleh Yoon Eun Hye), adalah siswi jurusan seni biasa. Anaknya ceria, lumayan blak-blakan dan polos (atau bego?), kagak pinter-pinter amat di pelajaran, tapi loyal sama temen. Shin Chae Kyung satu sekolahan sama Pangeran Mahkota Kerajaan Korea, Lee Shin (WAW, SUPERIOR SEKALI NAMANYA) (diperankan oleh Ju Ji Hoon). Udah makanan sehari-hari banget buat Chae Kyung ngeliat si pangeran mahkota ini diteriakin siswi-siswi se-sekolahan, termasuk dua temen di gengnya yang bener-bener mengagumi pangeran mahkota, yang buat Chae Kyung gak gimana gimana banget itu.

Suatu hari Chae Kyung gak sengaja curi dengar kalo pangeran mahkota ngelamar primadona sekolah mereka, Min Hyo Rin (diperankan oleh Song Ji Hyo. Iya. Song Ji Hyo yang Running Man itu), penari balet berbakat yang dengan cepat menolak lamaran Pangeran Mahkota. Dasar si Chae Kyung ceroboh, waktu lagi nguping HP nya nyala tiba-tiba dengan ringtone heboh (tau lah, HP 2G dulu emang ada fitur silent?) dan dia pun ketauan. Tapi dianya kabur pas ditanyain sama Pangeran Mahkota.

Balik-balik ke rumah ngerasa campur aduk abis dilabrak sama Pangeran Mahkota (yang ngancem buat merahasiakan “obrolan” lamaran pernikahannya sama Min Hyo Rin tadi). Chae Kyung menemukan fakta bahwa dia bakal dijodohin sama pangeran mahkota berkat kakeknya yang temenan sama kakeknya pangeran. Awalnya Chae Kyung jelas gak mau, orang pangeran mahkota maunya nikah sama yang lain? da dia mah apa atuh??

Tapi keluarga nya punya utang banyak. Dan nikah dengan pangeran mahkota adalah satu-satunya solusi tepat saat itu buat menyelamatkan keluarganya. Jadilah Chae Kyung setuju nikah sama pangeran mahkota. Karena dia aslinya emang bukan keluarga bangsawan apa gimana gitu, ada banyak “penyesuaian” yang harus Chae Kyung lakukan selama hidup di istana.

Disisi lain, sepupunya pangeran mahkota, mantan(?) pangeran mahkota, Lee Yul (diperankan oleh Kim Jeong Hoon), balik ke korea setelah menjalani kehidupan pengasingan sama ibunya , terpesona sama  keunikan Chae Kyung dan di satu titik berusaha merebut tahta dari tangan Lee Shin. Kelanjutannya gimana? Tonton sendiri aja, ya.

Karena ini drama lama, jadi harap maklum trope-trope drama lama kayak tokoh utama cowoknya nyebelin abis tapi tokoh utama ceweknya bego itu masih ada ya. 

Jaman sekarang tokoh kayak Lee Shin gak mungkin jadi tokoh utama, deh. Wkwkwk. 

Tapi buat masa itu, drama ini patut lah diperhitungkan. Seingetku drama ini juga yang melambungkan nama Yoon Eun Hye dan Ju Ji Hoon. Aktingnya Ju Ji Hoon emang agak kaku di beberapa bagian, tapi kupikir itu mungkin karena karakter nya Lee Shin itu EMANG gak make sense dari awal gitu, makanya mungkin agak susah emang untuk mengeluarkan “Lee Shin yang sebenernya”. Aku aja sepanjang drama sering banget mikir, Lee Shin tuh sebenernya maunya apa sih?? #esmosi

Tapi sebagaimana yang udah kubilang di awal, drama ini idenya original banget. dan tema fantasy nya tentang keluarga kerajaan Korea masih bertahta selayaknya keluarga kerajaan Inggris itu keren banget. buat jadi topik untuk lari dari kenyataan itu pas banget, btw. Apalagi, sudut pandangnya tuh kebanyakan dari Chae Kyung (well, komiknya emang gitu, sih) yang emang bikin ini genrenya full komedi romantis juga. Walaupun,karena ini drama lama, jadinya cinta segi empat masih eksis, dan Chae Kyung nya entah polos entah bego, kayak ngasih harapan ke second lead dari awal, jadilah masalah cintanya runyam.

Yang keren juga dari drama ini adalah baju-baju yang dipake Chae-Kyung sepanjang drama, semuanya lucuuuu… (kecuali satu deng, baju dia waktu wawancara terakhir barengan pangeran mahkota dan ngaku hamil itu aneh banget). Mungkin karena dia juga anak sekolah seni, ya. Jadi diceritainnya emang Chae Kyung bisa jahit, dan sedikit bisa modifikasi baju dan pinter padu padan gitu. Entah dari episode berapa, lupa, pokoknya pas pangeran mahkota juga mulai punya perasaan sama Chae Kyung, baju mereka selalu “gak sengaja” couple-an. Kayak warna dasi nya pangeran sama kayak warna blouse nya Chae Kyung, atau bajunya mereka setema warna biru-putih. Yang gitu-gitu deh.

Sekali lagi ya, karena ini drama lama, konflik salah paham nya emang agak-agak bikin : ya ampun! Tinggal ngomong!! Susah amat!!! AAARRGHHH! #geregetan

Bikin stress sendiri lah intinya. Aku ada tuh mikir emang ni drama gak ada yang mau remake apa?? Ngeliat para pemerannya pake HP 2G (yang pada masa itu adalah teknologi termutakhir) dan laptop yang masih tebel banget itu jadi geregetan rasanya. Tapi mungkin kalo sekarang mah bisa ngeliat drama  The King Eternal Monarch aja kali ya, kalo mau liat kerajaan korea dalam setting paling modern.

OST nya jelas yang paling terngiang-ngiang adalah Perhaps Love, I’m a Fool sama Parrot. Perhaps Love itu sering dipake di adegan-adegan so sweet (kayak pas mereka nge date di pantai. Huhuhuhuhuu.. kenapa scene kayak gitu cuman ada satuuu). Yang I’m a Fool itu lagu yang sering dipake kalo kesalahpahamannya sudah teruraikan, wkwkwk. Kalo Parrot tuh lagu yang dipake kalo lagi scene nyesel-nyesel sendirian gitu. Sama jelas yang paling berkesan adalah si intrumen yang di awal pas logo judul drama nya muncul itu.

Karena mereka ceritanya masih SMA, jadi emang pasangan ini aslinya berantem mulu, kalo ketemu kagak pernah ngomong baek-baek. 

Lee Shin nya juga tsundere gitu, si Chae Kyung nya bego/polos, kan mblunder jadinya. Sering sih mulai ngomong baik-baik dari hati ke hati, eh, Shin nya ditelepon sama Min Hyo Rin. Nyebelin kan?? Iya, senyebelin itu drama nya. Se-nyebelin itu tapi tetep aku masukin list. Haha.

Tapi buat yang kangen masa lalu, boleh lah coba nonton ini. Siap-siap kena second lead syndrome buat yang biasa kena (wkwk) dan siap-siap angkat alis kalo aneh sama ceritanya. Aku tetep nangis kok tapi, terutama pas merekanya dipisahkan (jiaahh, baper asli disitu. Mereka masih muda tapi masalah cinta nya berat banget gitu loh). Sekali lagi, aku gak sreg sama endingnya. Tapi seenggaknya masih happy ending lah ya, walaupun kurang puas aja. Wkwkwk. Walaupun jujur, kalo aku jadi yang nulis,aku juga mungkin bakal bingung mau ending nya digimanain, wkwkwk..    

5. Still 17 (30 but 17) (2018)

Drama ini adalah salah satu drama underrated yang jarang orang tengok (di base yang aku follow aja dikit yang bahas ini). Drama ini bagian fantasy nya itu menurutku yang si ceweknya koma 13 tahun. Aku gak tau sih di dunia nyata ada apa nggak. Tapi serem gak tuh, koma nya 13 tahun??

Judulnya tuh Still 17 atau 30 but 17 karena awal mula ceritanya dari situ. Tentang gimana ceweknya yang aslinya udah 30 tahun, tapi karena koma 13 tahun masih ngerasa dirinya 17 tahun. cara dia menghadapi dunia yang udah beda banget dari apa yang dia tahu adalah fokus utama drama ini.

Drama ini dimulainya emang agak aneh tapi. Kalo bosen sama episode 1 nya, tolong lanjutkan ke episode 2 nya, baru emang kerasa seru di episode 2 nya soalnya. Emang butuh 2 episode biar kita bisa paham sepenuhnya apa yang sebenernya terjadi.

Wah, aku mau panjang-panjang nulis alurnya, tapi dipikir-pikir kepanjangan kayaknya jadinya.

Intinya, tokoh utama cowok kita, Gong Woo Jin (diperankan oleh Yang Se Jong), yang seorang desainer interior berusia 30 tahun, terjebak di masa lalu karena suatu hal. Dipertemukan oleh nasib dengan cewek bernama Woo Seo Ri (diperankan oleh Shin Hye Sun), yang koma selama 13 tahun. Woo Seo Ri ini walaupun seumuran sama Gong Woo Jin, tapi karena mentalnya masih 17 tahun, jadi lebih akur sama keponakan nya, Yoo Chan (yang diperankan oleh Ahn Yeo Seop), seorang siswa SMA yang juga atlit dayung.

Woo Seo Ri nyasar ke rumahnya Gong Woo Jin karena itu rumah dulunya rumahnya dia. Woo Seo Ri sendiri bisa koma selama 13 tahun karena kecelakaan bus (little did they know, this accident is playing a very big part in their life). Dengan pengetahuannya Woo Seo Ri tentang rumahnya itu, Woo Seo Ri bisa tinggal di kamar rahasia di bawah tangga yang emang dirancang buat tempat dia latihan biola. Woo Seo  Ri pun selanjutnya berusaha keras agak bisa hidup normal kembali.

Di episode 1 dan 2 kita diajak memahami apa yang sebenarnya terjadi, dan sejujurnya menurutku, ending episode 2 tuh udah lumayan bikin penasaranlah, apa yang bakal terjadi selanjutnya. Ending episode 4 lebih-lebih lagi coy. Inget banget aku, karena ini tipenya konfliknya penyelesaiannya diselesein satu-satu, tiap episode dari episode 6 sampai tamat kayaknya aku nangis mulu, deh. Sedih soalnya. Hikes.

Dari semua drama di list ini, mungkin drama ini yang paling “slow burn” dan paling melankolis. Dikit-dikit banget kita dikasih kepingan-kepingan puzzle nya. Tapi seru sih.. mana waktu itu aku ngikutin ini on going dan itu tuh barengan sama Asian Games, jadilah beberapa episode suka ada yang ditunda gara-gara SBS nya nayangin pertandingan Asian Games. Makin stress gak tuh, nungguinnya??

Drama ini tuh pake format drama lama, dimana episode awal jelas dibuka sama pemeran-pemeran remaja nya. Baru dilanjutin sama pemeran-pemeran dewasanya. Walaupun banyak flash back nya sih nanti (karena kepingan-kepingan puzzle nya itu), tapi itu bener-bener memuaskan banget gitu, kok, rasanya. Chemistry antar pemain di drama ini tuh keren banget pokoknya.

Aku sendiri kepincut banget sama chemistry aktor remajanya, gak pernah ketemu samsek kecuali ngobrol dikit gitu, tapi bisa berasa kalo mereka tuh cocok banget?? Aku sampe sekarang masih suka berharap mereka bakal berpasangan lagi di drama lain sebenernya. Wkwkwkwk.

OST yang paling berkesan di drama ini buat aku tuh SEMUANYA. (for real this time). OST part. 1 nya diisi oleh Every Single Day. Udah lama gak dengerin Every Single Day ngisi drama (terakhir sebelum ini aku cuman tau dia ngisi Jugglers), dan buat drama ini gak mengecewakan lah. Lagu-lagu di drama ini cocok banget buat mewek terutama lagunya Hyorin_Just Stay sama Lucia_Tears in My Heart. Inget banget aku di episode 27-28 (episode 14) aku nangis kejer sambil terharu-sambil senyum-tapi nangis (Gimana coba itu??) gara-gara scene terakhir di episode itu. Udah gitu abis itu sambung minggu depan. Kan ngeseliiiinnnn..

Huft. The point is, that is really a very good cry. (lebay, ro. Bodo lah ya)

Ini ringan banget ya, drama nya. Riiingaaaannn banget, kayak bulu, kayak kapas. Nonton seharian mungkin gak kerasa. Masih sering aku ulang-ulang juga kok. Karena lucu juga soalnya. Wkwkwk.

Ih, seneng bisa nulis sehari ampe banyak begini… wkwkk..lanjut postingan selanjutnya yaaa~

Blood type: AB- (negative)

Languages: Korean, Japanese, Chinese, English, French, and a little bit of Italian

Nicknames: Belle, Kid, Girlie, Sister, Pabo, Baby Doll, Baby Girl [  ;)  ]

Background:

Born and raised at Daegu

Speaks satoori

Her parents divorced when she was 10 

Her mother remarried a French businessman when she was 11 while her father remained single

Sehwa, her older brother, and her younger brother kept flying from Korea to France for the custody but not her younger sister

Their mother’s new husband was very wealthy so he was able to afford it

A few years after the divorce, her mother gave birth to her half-sister Diana and a few years after that, gave birth to her half-brother, Rafael

Has an okay relationship with her stepfather

Chose her stage name after what he calls her

Stayed in France for 1 year when she was 15 and went to school there and learned some Italian

Her father pressured her to come back home and study there 

Her brothers and eventually her sister stayed in France with her mother but occasionally go to visit Korea

It was all because of her father that she was able to become a trainee in YG

Ever since she was young, she’s always loved dancing 

So, her father recorded her doing a cover of one of Shinee’s songs

Unbeknowst to her, he sent the recording as her audition tape

Her mother wanted her to come back so she went back to France

She was around 17 at the time so she studied in France another year

There’s a test you have to take for colleges overseas and she was smart enough to get offers

Sehwa happened to be able to get a letter from University of Cambridge at England

However, her father told her that YG wanted her to train for them

Of course, she still needed to prove to them that she’s worth it because they’re not just going to accept her with one dance video

Sehwa had to pick: Cambridge or her dream of becoming a dancer

Of course her mother, her stepfather, and her older brother wanted her to take Cambridge

But her dreams of becoming a dancer was much bigger than college

So she went back to Korea and gave up her scholarship to become an idol

Facts:

likes mayonnaise

a gamer but not as good as chanwoo

has a weird accent

she has a little bit of a satoori accent mixed with a french accent with the seoul accent

sometimes, her members couldn’t figure out what she’s saying

talks in konglish a lot

has a tendency to forget the language she’s speaking

like, donghyuk would be talking to her and all of a sudden, she’d go quiet and blank

he almost shit his pants laughing after she explained that she forgot all languages for a hot minute

takes pills for her ADD

also diagnosed with insomnia

when she was born, one of her kidneys wasn’t working so she came out almost dead but was able to be revived

due to that, she has a hard time keeping up with physical activity that strains her body

collapsed once during a concert and got the boys vv worried

has a resting bitch face

ppl think she’s upset or angry even though she’s just thinking on what she should eat for dinner

likes to act all badass but she’s so smol and so soft for her boys

is very diverse

like her face and her attitude can fit in with any concept

but ikonics die when she goes from cute to vv hot and sexy in a matter of 0.000000000001 seconds

she is the type to forget everything around her when she’s focused on something

for example, she was working on the RETURN album, she forgot to eat and drink and shower and was stuck in the studio for 2 days 

the members couldn’t get in there because she locks her door

finally got in when bobby drilled off the door

since then, the boys look after her since she looks after them but not herself

Madam Jung’s Last Week (2017)

Genre: Drama

Plot:

Madam Jeong was working at a hostess bar in Busan. Somehow, she manages to run away with the thug, Ttaengbari’s money bag. She hides in a small semi-basement room in Seoul, without going out for 7 years, waiting for the statute of limitations to end. But just a week before the expiration date, she encounters Eunmi, a girl living next door. Her identity is in danger of being exposed. To add, Ttaengbari gets released on parole and chases after Madam Jeong. The urgent and tense week of Madam Jeong, who is trying to lead a new life, begins.

Cast & Crew:

Ra Mi Ran as Madam Jung

Shin Rin Ah as Eun Mi

Supporting cast - Lee Bong Ryun, Yoon Gyung Ho, Park Se Wan, Park Jung Hak,  

Director - Kang Min Kyung

Screen Writer - Kim Se Rang

Awards: 2017 KBS Drama Awards - Excellence Award, Actress in a One-Act/Special/Short Drama - Ra Mi Ran

Music: The only song of note is Frozen’s Let it Go which is related to a major part of the plot, all other BGM went under my radar.

Overall:

I think we can all agree that Ra Mi Ran is always worth watching, and she is her usual fabulous self here. She plays, a paranoid shut in awaiting her release back into the world once her statute of limitations on a crime she kind of didn’t even mean to commit ends. But then in her last week before freedom some jjajangmyeon cravings and a child mess with her plans.

This drama special is basically a low key comedic shorter version of Mother. Well, if all the rich people were replaced with thugs and everyone’s IQ’s dropped a few percentiles... As well as a few laughs there are plenty of meaningful moments which might get your waterworks running. Take note, there is a nice epilogue after the end credits so don’t shut that window early.

I’ve had this one on my list for ages but went in without reading the synopsis or anything about it and really enjoyed this. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this child actress play a few tragic characters before so totally loved when her character had her Elsa moment.

 Rating: 8/10
