Dramas Made Better by Music (Part 2): Missing You

Missing You had a pretty solid first four episodes. It was a little confused in what it wanted to be (juxtaposing a hard-earned yet blossoming young friendship with mystery melodrama, family makjang and straight-up horror elements) but it set the stage well. Of course, Baby Kim So-hyun and Baby Yeo Jin-gu were amazing – this is the project where I fell in love with them both! But what followed this tragic and beautiful backstory was a whole lot of poorly-written nothing, confounding performances (Don’t you just hate it when the child actors get the characters more than the adults?), and a lacklustre conclusion. I have to say, I’m really wracking my brain to remember anything after the introduction. All I took away after watching this was the soundtrack.

    In terms of the adults, Yoo Seung Ho definitely stole the show. I don’t even remember Yoon Eun Hye, and Yoochun just portrayed another typical angsty cop character

      I always forget Yoo Seung-ho was in this, which is MAD, because he was such a captivating villain! I vaguely remember how torn up with hatrid and love and grief he was towards his mother. His ending was an interesting one, perhaps the only way to save a character too tortured and sympathetic to be considered evil.

    The first 4 episodes were enough to make me stay halfway through the drama but Yoo Seung-ho’s performance made me stay for the latter half. Can’t believe KSH and I are the same age and she acted so amazing on the first four episodes of this drama.

      It’s unbelievable that she was thirteen here, I can’t deal.

        *maknae high-five* So good to see a ’99 baby here! HAHA.

        It is really amazing that she was thirteen and did an amazing job with this show while looking so cute with a clothespin clipped on her hair. How were those two things possible!? When I was thirteen I can’t even make my Mom believe that I was asleep and I don’t even look good with a hairclip on, and even worse if I had a clothespin on my hair. Pfft.
