In fantasy dramas, they build an interesting world but can’t really use it.
A Korean Odyssey : the end was a disaster. (the actress playing the FL wasn’t great neither)
Alchemy of Souls : The FL changed so many times without any logic behind it at the end. The ML had everything so easily, in the second season his fights were pretty boring.
Big : they had the beginning of the story but not the rest.
Warm and Cozy : It was boring.
I liked :
The Master’s Sun, Hotel del Luna, Couple or Trouble, You’re Beautiful and My Girl.
I enjoyed both seasons of AoS, but my favorite Hong sisters dramas are their older ones – The Greatest Love and My Girlfriend is a Gumiho being my favorites, with Master’s Sun an honorable mention. I haven’t seen Korean Odyssey yet, but I’m a fan of Lee Seung-Gi, so it’s on my list.
I watched Alchemy of Souls 1 & 2, which I didn’t love but… I watched, anyways. I think the plot was a mess but in the end I didn’t even care, I was only watching it for Lee Jae Wook. I think the story could have been much better, and have more sense.
Then, a few months later I watched Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey). It was funny, messy too, but I enjoyed it more tan AoS. I loved the main male leads, but the zombi girl (Lee Se Young) almost stole the show.
And that’s all I have watched by the Hong sisters so far.

Done–Alchemy of Souls 1&2. Beanies, what are your thoughts on dramas by the Hong sister?

Loved S1. I liked S2 too but it felt sort of redundant and there really wasn’t enough story in it for 10 episodes.

I liked season 1 of AoS. It was an easy binge-watch. The opposite for season 2. I almost could not finish it. Took me sheer will and effort to do so.

Their earlier dramas were much better. Recently they are hit or miss for me. I love You’re Beautiful, Greatest Love and Master’s Sun.
