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.

The single highlights AFTERSCHOOL's versatility and their smooth transition into the Japanese music market.

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.

Under the Queen's Umbrella

This is a beautiful series. I smiled, laughed and cried. This is the story of a mother who loves her children and will fight to the teeth to protect them. As a mother myself, I could understand her feelings and her actions. Queen Im Hwa Ryeong is an intelligent woman, street smart, and she has learned to play the politics game to protect her five sons. He eldest, the Crown Prince and his own wife, little boy and his youngest on the way are her pride and joy. He is the model child everyone would want to have. She worries about his health.

When the king decides to look for a substitute for the Crown Prince's assistant, the Queen will have to prepare her other four carefree sons so they can show they are just as worthy as their other half-brothers. But as she tries to do so without alarming them, she runs around inside and outside the palace looking for them.

Her second son, Grand Prince Seong Nam, was taken away from her when he was born. She was able to bring him home after years of living outside like a commoner. He feels like an outsider inside the palace and likes to train outside, but he loves his brothers, and cherishes his relationship with his older brother.

Grand Prince Muan is a young man in love with a woman of low birth. His mother is constantly getting him out of her home and bring him back to the palace.

Grand Prince Kye Seong is a quiet young man who brings peace to his mother but carries a secret that could kill him.

Grand Prince Il Young is in his early teens and too young to care about politics.

As the political intrigues unravel, we see her relationship with her sons strengthen. This a woman who will protect, not only her children, but the king's other sons. . . She is strong and flexible, accepting and a problem solver.

I liked her relationship with her sons. How she interacts with each and gives them the support they need while also giving them wings. I also like her relationship with the King. Out of all his wives, the audience can see a special bond between them. He values her opinion and respects her. She respects him, although there are things she will always keep away from him in order to protect her sons. She is indeed her son's secret keeper and their support.

I really love what the title symbolizes. The umbrella she puts over her boys' heads when it rains and what it all means.

I truly love this story!

May I Help You. 8-9

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: The Masters Sun (kdrama); From Now on Showtime! (Kdrama) ; Hotel del Luna (kdrama); Bring it on Ghosts (kdrama);

This was a beautifully written drama that had a few hiccups along the way. It definitely won’t be for everyone, but it has a lot of heart and a lot of well written characters. For me it fit into my favorite genre perfectly and gave me a slight feel of the western drama ‘Pushing Daisies’ void that I was missing. It does have its problems, it gets sometimes a bit uneven throughout the series and the romance did get a tad bit cliche with the whole love triangle bit, but it didn’t really matter since both leads had an extraordinary amount of chemistry together. I actually wished it used it more towards the somewhat meh ending. And for the episodic ‘ghost of the week’ stories….. I can’t count how many times it had me reaching for the tissues. Overall definitely recommend.

Happy 16th anniversary to After School!

After School is recognized for their unique "graduation" system where members could join and leave the group over time. This dynamic lineup allowed for constant evolution and freshness in their music and performances. The group debuted with five members: Kahi, Jungah, Jooyeon, Bekah, and Soyoung, and over the years, new members like Uee, Nana, Lizzy, E-Young, and Raina were added, each bringing distinct talents and charisma to the group.

Musically, After School is known for their versatility, covering a wide range of genres from pop and R&B to electronic and dance. Their discography includes emotional ballads like "Because of You," which became a major hit, and high-energy tracks like "Bang!" which featured the members performing with marching band drums, showcasing their dedication to unique performance concepts. Other significant songs include "Diva," "Flashback," and "First Love," the latter incorporating pole dancing into their stage act, a bold and unprecedented move in K-pop.

The group also explored different musical directions through sub-units. Orange Caramel, featuring Nana, Raina, and Lizzy, became especially popular for their quirky, catchy songs such as "Magic Girl" and "Catallena," known for their whimsical and playful style. Members also pursued individual careers in acting, modeling, and solo music. Nana, in particular, gained prominence as a model and actress, while Raina focused on her solo singing career.

After School's innovative performances and bold concepts have left a significant mark on the K-pop industry. They were pioneers in integrating complex performance elements like drumming, pole dancing, and tap dancing, pushing the boundaries of traditional K-pop girl group performances. Though the group entered an indefinite hiatus around 2015, their influence endures, inspiring newer K-pop acts with their risk-taking and creativity.

Even in hiatus, After School’s legacy persists. Their constant reinvention and willingness to experiment set a new standard for performance and creativity in K-pop, making them a memorable and influential part of the industry’s history.
