| Ho Gu’s Love |
1. Ho Gu’s Love (Fool’s
Love) – such a nice
drama, heartwarming but delivers some big laughs. Choi Wu Shik making cute
faces to the baby and not only. I couldn’t sweep off my smile. You just want to
hug Ho Gu and his family. Takles new territory for a drama with a mature
approach and understanding. The mistranslation in episode 3 (?) and then the
flashbacks mislead me, and hated the jerk, until I read the recaps on
Dramabeans. Then seeing him so pityful, tortured by his believed gayness was
almost rewarding. I know I sound cruel but I’m just being honest.
2. Falling for Innocence
(Falling in Love With Soon Jung / Beating Again) – I approached this drama with moderate optimism,
but was better than I expected. It was fun to watch how a total ass was
transforming due to his heart transplant. I liked that first the heart was
remembering and then the mind. The female lead felt cold from the beginning to
the end and I didn’t like that. Strangely the work related stuff and intrique
didn’t bore or annoy me.
3. It’s Okay, It’s Love – I cought on early in the first few episodes of the resemblance with A
Beautiful Mind. The talks and presentation of mental illnesses are very
schetchy and superficial (maybe except the main character’s). I liked it more
in Kill Me, Heal Me. But the reaction of the people around those afflicted felt
real.
4. My Unfortunate Boyfriend – The
first 4 episodes were mostly boring and annoyingly idiotic, with few glimpses
of what it could be, nice composed moments with some meaning. Everything was
based on silly coincidences. No Min Woo is terrible at acting stupid or
innocent, he’s much better at making sad faces. The introduction is too long.
After the 5th episode I got engaged with the show by the main characters, not
by the story. I liked their simple love and how they conveyed their emotions,
it was so heartfelt. Yang Jin-Sung carried the show she was the only good actor among the younger cast
members. The rest were barely serviceable.
5. Yong Pal –
I had so high hopes for this and the first few episodes were fascinating, but
then the whole thing fell flat. Kim Tae Hee was cold and emotionless, she had
no chemistry with Joo Won. The side characters were more lively and stronger,
they controled the show, the main couple was at their mercy.
6. Hidden Identity (Hide Identity) – It was okay, not outstanding. The episodes
were linked, even though in the beginning I didn’t see the connections. Kim
Beom’s character was really masochistic, he took so much beating every time
that it was hard to watch and even so he never gave up. He still has to work on
the acting part. Yoon So Yi was the first actress at who’s action scenes I
didn’t cringe, she’s tall enough, a little skinny but she was believable. At
the last 4 episodes things got more serious. At last I felt engaged to the
story, this was what I missed earlier. But I was irritated by the scenes, where
the otherwise professional team members were staring at things or persons for
precious seconds when it wasn’t time to waste ‘cause it was a dire situation. And
can someone explain to me the logic why they blurred the knives every time, but
they didn’t do the same with guns and bleeding wounds?
