Touch Your Heart E.1, Yoo Inna is so pretty in here, but why her character is so stupid it hurts?? And Lee Dong Wook must step on hairstylist’s toes or something because his hair styling is atrocious.
Could beanies recommend me good books on history of Korea, because I always feels like I don’t understand more than half of palace’s intrigues and all this structure around ruling parties.
I read comments on SKY Castle berating WooJoo for getting angry at Kangs, and I’m like WTF, since when being falsely accused and spending months in jail is equal to getting expelled from school, which btw didn’t happen. I would be mad if I find I spent time in jail because of someone grades (!) and that someone I care for, died becuase of that, and adults in the room decided to do nothing and withheld evidence again because of grades.
And people feel sorry that YehSeo lost her shot at SNU early admission but no one asking if she really even want to go there and be a doctor.
Yes, a lot of comments showed why this drama is so popular, people has so screwed perception of education and social standing, I wouldn’t even guess, and not only Korean audience.
Just finished ep 15-16 of SKY Castle and I’m so impressed with writers skills to balance humour with more sober moments, the plot pacing is really tight, I wonder how extension will feel later on, because right now it feels like finale is just steps away but we still have 6 episodes to go. Will we get more time with other families or just focus on watching Kangs spiral into ultimate family break down.
Every week, I am afraid the drama will disappoint. That’s because it is so so good. Every week, the drama surprises me.
Not all episodes are full of revelations or a flurry of things happening although the pace has been exceptionally brisk and well done. When things go a bit slower, I love it too because they are looking deeper into the issues on hand, character insights and the family relationships etc.
I really like the way they portrait the theme of the episode through all the families, not in your face but subtly, it’s all about choices parents made.
But saddest thing of all for me, it’s that the mothers, at least Han SeoJin and No Seung Hye are highly educated, inteligent women, and their only role in society is to produce top grade students, and it is seen as full time job for this women. I’m glad that at least for Seung Hye meeting Soo Im was a changing point.
Just finished God Quiz Reboot, and I’m impressed that this series in the end sucked me in. Main draw I think were compelling villains/anti-heroes. Kim Jae Won and Bora were pretty impressive.
Stumble onto one of Korea’s famous cold cases “Frog Boys” from 1991, and to my suprise there were still rumours at that time of lepers kidnapping children to procure cure for their illness.
Sooo disappointed with news of how Shin Dong Wook treat his grandfather, didn’t see it coming with his gentle image, greedy jerk, officially kicking him off my drama crushes list.
After watching some period dramas and movies, I wonder if it really such a problem to make weave/wig without this ridiculous side bangs. Petty stuff I know but it keep nagging me.
Watched first episode of “Memories of Alhambra” and I’m disappointed how dated Park Shin Hye character is. Writer-nim even pure and naive girls need a working brain to run a business.

Tried to watch Healer but dropped it by 6 episode, I was more interested in flashbacks and present story and characters fell flat to me.

Really? Like I said, it was a good thing.
YehSeo did terrible things, she more then deserves leaving school and taking time to become a decent person.
