Foreign Drama -Something About 1%

Published by

1% of Something or Something About 1% 16 episodes 2016 Each episode is around 30 minutes in length, so I consider it a shorty.  Anytime you have a shorter drama it can’t carry the depth of a full length drama but this one is balanced well.  They keep most of the focus on the couple and bring in surrounding characters just enough to make it real. I can’t say I fell in love with either the lead male, Ha Soek Jin or the lead female,  Jeon So Min.  Soek Jin has made several dramas but I’ve yet to see one.  So, this is my first time to be moved by him.  Was I?  At moments he really did draw me in.  For instance, we was a decent kisser -and boy are there a load of kiss scenes in this drama. So Min is also new to my drama world.  There were also moments I thought she was beautiful, but she just didn’t capture my interest  for future dramas.  What I did find interesting is these …

Foreign Drama -Jealousy Incarnate

Published by

Jealousy Incarnate/Jiltooui Hwashin 24 episodes 2016 Funny, entertaining, sweet and competitive are words to explain this drama. Cho Jung Seok (Oh My Ghost) is so funny in this drama he keeps you laughing but he is also good at making you cry.  A man with breast cancer is no laughing manner but watching him struggle with his manliness while walking the halls in a pink gown and getting a mammogram will get you on the floor rolling with laughter. I love this guy!  He is so good at sexy and humor. Pare him up with the amazing Gong Kyo Jin.  She has performed in countless movies and some big names It’s Ok, This is Love Master’s Sun Flower Boy Ramen Shop The Greatest Love Pasta and the unpopular drama, but well known –The Producers Pasta Ko Gyung Pyo really was the perfect guy in this drama but he was just too perfect.  Girls want sexy and Gyung Pyo, though a sexy man, was not sexy in this drama past his first couple of scenes.  It just written …

Foreign Drama -K2

Published by

The K2/ Deo Keitu 16 episodes 2016 Can Ji Chang Wook be more powerful then he was in Healer? Yes. Yes. Yes!  Chang Wook is a monster in this movie.  The fight scenes were amazing and his character was, what can I say?  Sexy, macho, intimidating, manly, powerful, (do you want me to keep going or stop?) gorgeous, endearing… Okay, aleso -I will stop. Yoona is always entertaining, whether singing, dancing or acting.  I loved her in Love Rain (one of my all time favs) and she showed her talents here also.  My only problem is the writing.  Oh my gosh, did they make her a weak and pathetic creature. At the same time Yoona brought out a strength that was admirable and gutsy.  If I were a child in her same circumstances and as withdrawn and mentally disrupted would I have the strength to escape into an unknown world over and over, without a support system, or face death to be next to the men I loved?  I don’t know.  Yoona is a singer with …

Foreign Drama -Shopping King Louis

Published by

Shopping King Louis/Shopingwang Looi 16 episodes 2016 If you are looking for a different side to Seo In Guk this is the most hilarious side of him.  Trust me when I tell you, this actor has managed to put adorable, while maintaining a sexy into pathetic. King Louie is a mere child in a man’s body -and his existence is torture to watch -at least until he escapes and meets Go Bok Sil.  The two of them are fabulous.  How she holds onto this child man without throwing in the towel and grows as a woman, a worker, a thinker is endearing. Nam Ji Hyun is a new actress to me but she won Best New Actress in What Happens to My Family as well as Best New Couple, in 2014.  She also won Best Child Actress in Little Girl Detective Park Hae Sol, in 2012. Yoon Sang Hyun is goofy in this drama.  Well, he is seriously serious while being utterly goofy.  What was with his clothes and hairdo’s?  Well, anyway, he does a …

Foreign Drama -Scarlet Heart Ryeo

Published by

Scarlet Heart Ryeo or Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo 20 episodes 2016               Wow!  What a love story!  What a tragedy!  Lee Joon Ki and IU are perfect together. Yet, I feel such agony over the ending.  Yes, it was perfect for this drama -because how else could it have ended?  I don’t know!  I really thought he would follow her to the future or he would be a man in her future, also reborn.  Maybe she wasn’t reborn, just transformed into a different life.  Then the king was real, with a real life and a real story -so to disappear would have been noticeable.  Aish! We must also deal with their daughter.  How could he leave his child behind -even when her mother did.  He may not raise her, but she is still his. If their love story wasn’t enough to break you down and rip out your heart, what about the love Prince Wang Jong gave her (Ji Soo).  Not only did he care for her each …

Foreign Drama -Moonlight Drawn By Clouds

Published by

Moonlight Drawn By Clouds or Love In The Moonlight 18 episodes 2016       Park Bo Dam -Can you find an actor with more expressive eyes then this guy?  I love him!  His kiss scenes were very good despite their lack of depth.  He seemed to understand just how to go in to bring the optimum delivery.  Yet, I still hungered for more depth. His character was the perfect drama for me.  Why?  He was smarter then everyone else and he was always able to rescue the woman he loved.  Not only that, there was nothing the bad people could do to bring him down.  If I was to fall in love today -I would want a man like this crowned prince.  He was… perfection! Interestingly, the production company may be reprimanded for the kiss scene and the scene where Kim You Jung binds her breast.  You Jung is only 17 years old -and this is considered to risky. (Golden Rainbow, Secret Door, Angry Mom and Moon Embracing the Sun).  What a delight this young …
