Ok, enough about my Korean craze. Let's talk about the dramas that I've been watching recently. Sadly, the big dramas of the year just ended - "The Heirs" featuring so many big names including "Lee Min Ho". At first I thought the show wasn't appealing enough to me, firstly cos' I'm not a big Lee Min Ho fan and yeah I thought it would be your typical "Rich guy meet poor girl" storyline. But luckily, the scriptwriters did not disappoint us! :) The drama had such a nice ending to it! Love it!
Another drama I really liked initially was "Marry Him if you Dare". Somehow or another, I'm quite a Yoon Eun Hae fan. Love how versatile her acting can be, just like how she portray her character in "Miss You" (2012), I knew she was one actress who can deliver up to viewer's expectations. Show's concept was quite interesting, with Mi Rae (Yoon Eun Hae) 's future self travelling back in time just to try to stop an unhappy marriage only to discover many drama along the way. Sadly, the ending wasn't up to my expectations >< However, I did enjoy "Lee Dong Gun" charismatic acting! Somehow I really like older, matured actors (around 30+ years ago) who can be so charming in a way :D Yong Hwa's acting was kinda disappointing in this drama in my opinion. Hope he'll have better roles in dramas in the future!
Dramas currently airing
I think for Korean dramas, the more blockbuster dramas comes late in the year. After "The Heirs", dramas like "Bel Ami", "My Love who came from the Stars" and "Miss Korea" and "Prime Minister and I" looks quite promising. Just a penny of my thoughts below..
"Bel Ami" (Pretty Man) ★★★☆☆
I was totally excited for this show because the Main Cast is no other than "IU" and "Jang Geun Suk"!!! Who wouldn't be attracted to this show! Watched the trailer before it started airing and I was just so excited. HOWEVER, sadly, I felt the drama did not get me hooked. The storyline was boring, humour factor wasn't there too. And being someone's that easily bored, I WAS BORED IN THE FIRST TWO EPISODES ALREADY. What a bummer.. Had such high hopes for this drama but just didn't like the story. However I really like "Lee Jang Woo" in the drama whenever he gets smitten over "IU", such a cutie :) Anyways, I stopped watching around episode 4/5??? Good if you liked it, just my personal preference.
Miss Korea ★★★☆☆
Oh yes, love the main I must say! Featuring "Lee Yeon Hee" (love her role in "Hello Schoolgirl" and "Lee Sun Kyun" (absolutely love him in "Pasta"!) Take note that the drama portrays Korea in 1997 which explains the weird dressing and all. So basically "Lee Sun Kyun" is the director of a Cosmetic line trying to find business while being chased by hooligans due to the unpaid debt. His colleagues then suggested of nurturing a "Miss Korea" to promote their products, hoping that they can get some investors somehow. Haven't watched much into this drama yet to know the whole storyline but I guess it's worth watching(?), given the great cast and hopefully storyline. But on a honest note, I'm a bit bored in the initial episode, hope that it would get more interesting than this!
You who came from the Stars★★★★☆
Featuring oh-so-popular "Kim Soo Hyun" (who shot to fame after acting in Dream High along side Suzy) and Jun Ji Hyun (who came back after 14 years away from the drama series!).
First thing first, I'm totally not a Jun Ji Hyun fan, didn't like the Dream High series and of course never paid attention to him. But maybe this drama will change my view. Judging from the first two episodes, this seems like a pretty good drama! There's a sense of humor in the drama which I liked and let's see how the drama progresses! :)
Prime Minister and I ★★★★☆
Didn't had high hopes for this drama. Perhaps because I didn't expect much from many singer turned actress people which in this case is Yoona from Girls' Generation. But...... Turns out that I really enjoy Yoona acting in this show! She really portray her emotions really well and especially when she have to act for her crying scenes due to her family problems. She has definitely improved so much in her acting, kudos to her! Another reason why I didnt expect much from this drama was that she was acting beside such an OLD actor. I wasn't being bias or what, and I think "Lee Bum Soo" should be some well-respected veteran actor in the k-drama world. But sorry! I do not know who he was previously. Never seen any of his works before. But quite amazingly, he really portray his role as a Prime Minister so well that I thought was rather charismatic! *O* Haha really like it during scenes where he speaks with so much justice and passion to serve the nation! I'm sure Yoona is slowly swooning over him as well!! Haha and the supporting actor, Yoon Si Hoo is such a cutie as well!!!!! Seems like there would be a love triangle!! :) Side track: Supporting actress "Chae Yeon Ah" looks so much like Boa in the drama poster somehow, am I the only one that think so? Haha
That's my take on the current dramas based on the initial few episodes that I've watched so far, hoping that my top two favourite "Prime Minister and I" & "You who came from the stars" wouldn't disappoint us!
