River: It is fine. The OTP’s are together. I don’t actually care about the political aspects of it. The power politics is manifestly uninteresting to me. It is why I am not usually a saeguk fan because at the end of the day, it is always a power struggle. I’m rooting for our couples though, even the “bad” one. Lol

Navillera: Hae Nam continues to be the VIP. I really don’t want them to go the dementia route, but it looks like that is where they are going. The injury was bound to happen, I am happy we have gotten that out of way. Now, hopefully only heartwarming things, drama.

Sisyphus: SIGH. It is finish. Thank God. It started off badly, got better (surprisingly), then ended stupidly because the writers couldn’t help themselves. Why would her disappearing into nothingness be worse than her dying? She is still alive with her parents. I got a bean and only want to remember this drama when we have to count the beans. Then I want it removed from my mind forever. At least for CSW we still have Stranger.

Taxi Driver: The first episode was fine. Violent, but fine. Nothing stood out to me except for when they all abruptly left their posts, who replaced them? Also he just left that poor mentally disabled girl in the cold without shoes. Where did she go?

Vincenzo: My joy and happiness. Continue to be great. I’m sad these are the last episodes for 2 weeks. Don’t leave us. I hear good things about Inzaghi!!!!!

Oh! Master: Finally get to watch it today!! But only 4 episodes.

Night in Paradise: An insanely, over the top, and distinctly violent movie with minimal plot. The number of bullets used in this movie, my God, lol. I have rarely seen people survive so many bullet and stab wounds for so long. It is on Netflix for those interested, lol.

Vincenzo - I'm always on the fence with this one, I don't like the violence and all that Evil Doing (I'm really mainly a rom-com girl)... but then they bring the hilarious white board presentations, "Nothing" art or the Italian Secret Agency "sketch" 😁, and I love it. Also, who came with that Balloon Travel Agency idea was a genius 😂 (and that Trio with balloon print t-shirts always cracks me up 😁)

Navillera - I'm happy that Halmoni is actually such a nice person! I'm not happy with the latest direction, I think there was enough to explore and no need to introduce this New Thing.

You Are My Hero - I was annoyed by the two manipulating childhood friends... luckily it was compensated by the constant mutual teasing of the leads... and by a completely clueless Wenbo - remember, when wooing a girl, use only ONE popcorn bucket in the cinema and only ONE umbrella when it's raining 😁

Hello, It's Me - yes!!! Doyun did have a plan!!! I'm happy he stayed Good all the time and he totally deserved his final position in the company. And although Young Hani was sometimes quite bratty, she was also a ball of positive energy and brought love and forgiveness all around... and especially to her older self who desperately needed to learn how to forgive herself and love herself again.

Lee Minki's Master Nana - I don't like some of the plotlines (Iike the stalker/kidnapper part) and the second lead is a bit getting on my nerves... but I'm actually quite digging the main couple, especially whenever they show how they respect.. and get each other. Those two are currently hurting so much because of their mom's illnesses and I hope that as Jooin is leaning on Bisoo now, Bisoo will also share his pains with Jooin soon. I surprisingly also like the melancholy of the Mom's stories and focusing on what's important... and how to say goodbye...
(And... I also love the budding romance of the main managers 😀)

Vincenzo: So many hilarious moments this week: The 108 bows and Vincenzo crying over the lost gold, the Bye Bye Balloon team and their whiteboard, the Jipuragi crew teaming up with the Geumga Plaza residents for a caper complete with a heart stopping kiss, and of course, pig’s blood as the ultimate romantic gesture. I love this show.

Navillera: I’m sad that our adorable Grandpa is showing dementia symptoms just as he finally found what makes him happy. I identify with characters from all generations which is the mark of a good drama.

Mouse: The title took on new meaning this week as Ba-reum finds himself a mouse in Daniel Lee’s experiment. Was Yo-han a mouse too, used by Daniel Lee to go after the 7 sins killer?

Beyond Evil: None of the revelations were surprising but there were some good Dong-sik and Joo-won scenes. I miss when the focus was more on the town though.

Sisyphus: Sigma was a lame villain, Eddie Kim’s last minute villainy even lamer. For 16 episodes, absolutely nothing made sense to me.

Oh! Master: Cute, cute cute. The confession was really sweet. The moms are great.

Taxi Driver: Pretty cool batcave. It was good for a first episode but I’m not sure if I can handle another drama about people doing horrible things to other people.

Revolutionary Sisters: Kim Kyung-nam’s character is the most watchable, luckily for me.

I watched a lot this week and at the same time couldn't make time for Vincenzo and Taxi Driver.

Ongoing
River Where the Moon Rises - Welp General Go went dark. And will get even darker next week. Preparing myself for a tragic end to both Geon and Mo-yong next week. I wish I cared about Dal's pain as much. In a more interesting, better-edited show maybe I would.

Navillera - We were moving towards the inevitability of Ho-beom injuring Chae-rok for a while but it still felt painful. Rather sad to see Kim Kwon so painfully underused - he was really good in He is Psychometric. I'm sensing where the show is going with Deok-chul and I don't like it.

Sisyphus - Well it ended. I actually had fun watching this show in the beginning. Tae-sul's machinations to escape situations were fun and funny. But over time the show lost all its humour and became as sullen and boring as Sigma. It took itself way too seriously especially the nonsense sci-fi.

Mouse - Difficult to watch episode. Everything about the rapist creep was making my skin crawl. But I understand why they only showed one episode this week - this is the turning point for Ba-reum as he takes on vigilante justice for psychopaths.

Oh! Master - This show is skipping through its story with a very light touch - the confession, finding out about the mother's illness, the second lead also confessing, etc. I'm bracing for angst in the second half since the ToD storyline is still looming.

Beyond Evil - Last week felt like filler to some extent. Other than the "interrogation" scene between the two leads, not much stood out. Will watch the final two episodes today.

Vincenzo - Did not get around to it this week. Which may be a good thing given next week's hiatus.

C-dramas
I binged Hikaru no Go finally. 36 episodes in 3 days but it was totally worth it. The story and performances are excellent. And though the pace is a little slow, it helps in building out the progress of our protagonist over time.

Finished You Are My Hero. One of those rare cdramas with an intelligent FL and a respectful relationship. This is how you do long-distance relationships (watch and learn Sunbae... 😤!)

Also watching Word of Honor, No Boundary, Love Scenery, and Hello Mr. Gu.

Plan for next week - Taxi Driver and the TGCF donghua on Netflix.

I don't have much interest in T20 and least in IPL and don't often watch IPL matches. Still i do watch some matches here and there for a few players.
RCB the meme team - love for ab de villiers - the guy carrying the whole team for almost always. Like yersterday's match.

SRH - for afgan bowlers - good bowling lineup and a team that thrives in low scoring matches in T20 - my style - and also for Kane williamson

Rajasthan royals - a team that won the 1st IPL when no one else expected them to win and in 2020 they won matches they shouldn't have won.

That's it.

River where the moon rises. Not enough hot and hot. Na In Woo is doing an amazing job. Pincess is so bad written: a minute ago she was totally clueless of Palace intrigues and now she’s a master.

Sisyphus. It’s over, and that’s he best thing I can say. I earned a bean. It was total waste of talent, and I found the last twist with Eddy Kim totally unnecessary. One more thing, I guess TaeSul was going to be super successful even without Sigma, as he can still travel first class. Even so, if you are tempted to watch, don’t be and don’t watch.

Navillera. As much as I love the show the fact that Deok Chul shows up in the right dramatic moment for the third time in 6 episodes felt very anticlimactic to me. Even so, characters are warm and I specially love HaeNam and the interactions between SeungJoo and Sori.

Oh, Master! aka Mindy’s drama. Four episodes this week, as already caught up all episodes. Love our leads to bits. They are so super cute together I could die that I’m willing to overlook every single trope the dama uses (and it uses all of them).

Vincenzo.I can’t get enough of it. I just can’t. I loved this show from minute one and it’s becoming one of my favourite ones ever. Everything from the tenants to the leads to all the absurd moments. Can this go on forever, please? Ah! And I love Taec (just in case y’all forgot about it).

Mouse (Episode 11) - Mood: C
Are all episodes from now on going to end with Ba Reum killing someone? There’s still 9 episodes to go but I don’t think that there’s enough characters to kill, or so I think, because this writer loves to throw in new characters like that mole in the police team who’s definitely shady. Honestly, I don’t care about the whole psychopath part of the story anymore: its a futile exercise trying to understand the mystery behind the killings. I care more about Moo Chi: he’s suffered so much, yet still threw away his vendetta to save Bong Yi. Now that’s a great character moment! The rest of the show? Oh dear.

Beyond Evil (Episode 13-14) - Mood: B-
Yes, the execution was well done and it was nice to watch, but did we just spend the entire penultimate week to get Joo Won up to date with what the viewers already know from the Episode 12 cliffhanger? There was also some awkward bit with how Ji Hwa randomly brought up the CEO’s drunken rambling: the plot point of them being exes wasn’t used much in the story so that seems a tad convenient. Regardless, it was wonderful to see how Dong Sik and Joo Won’s bond has developed throughout the show, as the former frantically denies a little too strongly that he actually cares for the latter.

Sisyphus: The Myth (Series review) - Mood: C / C- / C- / C- / C- / D+ / D / D-
Prior to the airing of this show, I had commented 3 main worries I had for it: 1) The production in the trailers looked nice but the writers were a gamble, 2) Romance being shoehorned into the plot would be of 0 benefit to Park Shin Hye, 3) Jo Seung Woo might never do a drama after this show if his acting skills were wasted. Sadly to say, all 3 of them were not resolved and then some: 1) Writing was terrible but the production was equally bad, 2) Seo Hae was a 8 year old girl romancing a much older man, 3) Tae Sul was frankly miscast and imo, the show damaged his reputation.

Hello? It's Me! (Episode 15-16) - Mood progression: C+ / C+ / C+ / B- / B- / C / C / C, Unimpressive ending.
Navillera: Too busy to watch :(

Happy Easter! It's good to be back. I caught up with VINCENZO this week and watched a few movies in the past month:

Kdramas
-VINCENZO (14/20): Love it so far. The music choices are killing me, from Intermezzo (reference to The Godfather) to the Flight of the Bumblebee in the courthouse hornet episode. I love seeing classical music incorporated into the storytelling and not just as background music for villainy bubble baths. I need to brush up on my opera lore.

Movies
-WARRIORS OF THE DAWN (2017): Now that's the Yeo Jin Goo Gwanghae that I wanted and did not get in THE CROWNED CLOWN! I read reviews saying that it fell short of epic, but this is not a flashy Hollywood film. It's gritty and poignant in a subtle way. Recommended.

- FORBIDDEN DREAM (2019): Ok, if 2 hours of Han Seok Kyu as King Sejong the Great are this good I can't imagine what he's like in TREE WITH DEEP ROOTS. Must get to it asap.

- THE SOUND OF A FLOWER (2015): About the first woman who became a professional pansori singer in Joseon. I should have expected that ending but I didn't. Kim Nam-gil was really menacing in his brief scenes as Daewongun. Suzy's singing did not sound like pansori to my untrained ears but her acting was decent. I was surprised.

Webdramas
-MUST YOU GO? The lite version of QUEEN IN HYUN'S MAN. The Joseon scenes were pretty and the modern scenes had every possible rom-com trope you can think of. Cringe.

Who else has been emotionally wounded by the elegantly sentimental slaughterhouse Killer and Healer? Even with all the spoilers floating around, I was not prepared for the level of violence in the end...

Sisyphus: The Myth
Well...Those scripts could have used several more rewrites, especially since the writers had enough time to make revisions. I don't understand. There was potential for a fun sci-fi drama, but the execution (aside from the acting) was off.
Do I regret watching? No. It was mostly entertaining and the main cast was great. I just wished it could have been better written/produced.

Navillera
Oh I hope we are not heading where we seem to be heading. I don't want to relive the heartbreak of losing someone dear to their own mind. Deok-chul is too precious. I love how Chae-rok is slowly becoming like a member of their family.

Can Chaerok's bully, Eunho's dad, and Eunho's manager just go wallow in self-pity together on an island somewhere far away since they enjoy the company of misery so much my gosh.

Vincenzo
I am still loving this drama. Fun and exciting! Ok Taecyeon remains my scene stealer and the relationship between the brothers is oddly intriguing. Kwak Dongyeon is also great as the little brother who fears and despises his older brother, but also morbidly admires him.

Mouse
I am 3 episodes behind. I just did not feel like watching it this week. It is odd. I have a hard time motivating myself to watch, but once I am actually sitting down and watching, I oddly enjoy it despite it's ridiculous take on psychopathy...

N no tame ni
I re-watched this Japanese drama this week and it was just as good as I remembered. Oh the feels!! This drama is so well written in the way it depicts all the different facets of love; the most beautiful and the most horrid. Although the main intrigue is captivating in the way it slowly reveals the different pieces of the puzzle, it is the relationship between the characters that is the drama's real strength.
Also, the theme song is so addicting and really captures that unique feeling of the drama. I remember listening to Leo Ieiri's Silly on repeat after watching the drama for the first time.

I highly recommend this drama to anyone who likes a good character-driven drama with a healthy dose of mystery, friendship and subtle romance.

Last Friends
I was craving more Jdramas after N no tame ni. I am only 3 episodes in but all I can say is this drama is quite depressing. It is strange since I have watched dramas with heavier and darker storylines...I think it must be the overall tone and mood. For me, it is the kind of drama that is better to watch in small daily doses...

Hello Tunnel Me: 7.9 (Re)birth symbolism.

Vincenzo: 9.5 Even (more-or-less) good guys need to take backups.

Joseon Exorcist: It got exorcised?

Sisyphus: The Myth: 8.5 The first half of the finale made pretty good sense, and made sense of some things that had gone before, but then the 2nd half went off the rails again. Still for all it's weaknesses, show was fun -- much the same kind of guilty-pleasure over-the-top fun as Vagabond with more logic (eventually) and a less-sucky ending.

Oh! Master: 4.5 💤 Wake me up if Nana does that high-strutting power walk I remember from Into the Ring.

Taxi Driver: 8.0 Easy watch, mostly harmless.

River Where the Moon Rises: 8.0

Beyond Evil: 7.5 (day 13 / ) Getting more fun now that they are explaining things, but it hasn't really been worth the journey.

Shin Ha-Kyun has been doing "Beyond Evil" and a couple years ago he did "Less Than Evil"... so when will he do "Precisely Standard-Level Evil" and "Just a Little Bit Evil"?

River Where the Moon Rises I didn't watch the last 2 episodes, I guess I kinda dropped it... They would like to submit this drama at the 49th International Emmy Awards, I don't think hardworking crew is a criteria... Because I don't see anything to be rewarded...

Navillera I'm kinda frustrated by this one. I love the plot but they added useless tropes. I'm not convinced by the 2 young actors, Song Kang looks good for the dance scenes but he always looks like a sulking teenager for the rest. Grandpa and Grandma are the best!

Oh! Master I would like to see LMK in a new role, this one reminds me too much BTIMFL without the good writting (except the end...) The best thing in this drama is the house 😍

Sisyphus It's over \o/

Taxi Driver I want to try it.

Beyond Evil A drama I want to end soon too.

Vincenzo It's a good mix between action, humor and emotions. My favourite for now.

River Where the Moon Rises: I feel like I have been through so much with this drama that, despite the obvious fact that the writing is such a crime, I'm going to ride it out to the bitter end (and the end will certainly be bitter and tragic for the more interesting of the two pairs, so the drama should give us more scenes with them before that in compensation). Nevertheless, I truly applaud NIW, and wish that the princess was written better for KSH's sake.

Sisyphus: is over.

Navillera: the marshmallow-y bashful joy on Chae-rok's face when Halmoni poked his cheeks and call him cute was the highlight of a week full of sweet and touching moments. I love watching CR and Haraboji come together, and I love that CR is being pulled into the warm orbit of a caring family.

Oh! Master: they need to quash this 2ML/fake dating thing stat. The other tropes I honestly don't care so much about - in a show that takes a light and sweet touch to everything, this is the one element that lands like a lead balloon. The development of the OTP's relationship is well done, and the look on Joo-in's face nearly every time she looks at or watches Bi-soo is so subtle but so telling, even if she's still working through it herself. The moms finding each other again - and there being no conflict there or with the kids - is one of my favorite things.

Vincenzo: having put this on hold and picking it back up again, I am riveted by and rolling on the floor because of it, and I can officially say that I am now all in.

And speaking of the phrase "all in," over the long holiday weekend I finally finished Mr. Queen which I did enjoy but wouldn't rave about. I loved the cast, the premise was interesting, and I did laugh a lot, but I just don't think I'm a sageuk person.

River where the moon rises: ok, drama has flaws, but I'm here to talk about the good things. So, here it goes: *plot moves fast;
*typical sageuk scenes of ahjussis conspiring in rooms kept to a bare minimum;
*it's got great Baddies. Not only Hot n'Hot, who are obviously hot and satisfyingly ambiguous about their true feelings. I also love Go Wonpyo and all the court backstabbers. Cool-looking Silla king is also an interesting new player.
*Princess taking the role of Royal Troop Commander. Princess in an armour ready to rip her enemies to shreds - badass. Love it
*On Dal is goofy and tender, but he looks amazing riding his horse in full warrior gear and going around battle-crazed. You can trust Na Inwoo to deliver intensity.
* I find it really interesting that the drama chose to base On Dal's conflict on how traumatic war is for him but he still becomes a general for Gajin. Like, war is hell, of course nobody walks away without being haunted by really bad sh*t
*On a shallow note (and I'm all about shallow), everybody's gowns and jewelry are on point. Love Moyong's tiny fur capelet and Go Geun's leather trimmed outift. They're both bad, and stylish, and excellent kissers🔥 yay! On Dal is looking good in his palace makeover too, and I love all the armours' design (if only they didn't look so rubbery, *sigh)
*On an even shallower note, it's a shame that something feels a bit off in the OTP scenes (both KSH and NIW are acting their hearts out, it's definitely not their fault). Fortunately, Hot n'Hot deliver on that front, so it's all good!

achieve something grand. At the end it was forgiving yourself, doing your best and reminding yourself that - You are the most brilliant start of your life.
Sisyphus : This remained full of holes. What I don’t get is – why Tae-sul needed to save Seo-hae’s life by endangering whole Korea. Even if she died, it would be her future version. If he does not build uploader, the world does not get destroyed. Little Seo-hae would be safe and happy with her parents, future event will not happen. Tae-sul will never meet future version of Seo-hae , will not fall in love and will not live in regret for rest of his life.
I don’t know why a genius like Tae-sul could not understand that.
Oh Master: I am onboard with main couple. I am sure about one thing – There will be no SLS.
Navillera : I am bit behind the show. I think Deok-chul will be one of my most favourite character of this year.
Taxi Driver: There are logic lapses here and there. They are not overwhelming at this point but this is only first episode.

OH MASTER (Ep 5-6): The rush of the love triangle through the mothers' conspiracy of the blind date to the lesser of two scandals (even though a CEO dating his firm's model would also be a bigger, third conflict scandal) puts Nana's character development in reverse. She does not want to hurt either man so the solution is not to make a choice. I think the story is beginning to bog down because it is not focusing on the main leads. The blender approach of throwing so many tropes into the story at once does not smooth out chemistry of the main actors. Once Bi-Soo rewrote the script to mirror his actual events with Joo-in, I got a suspicious feeling that this story may wind up to end with the worst trope of all: the coma dream of the writer after he was hit by TOD.

BEAUTIFUL WORLD (2019) (Ep. 7-12): The mid-point writing is excellent. There is no filler or pause in the story. I find the acting very good especially Yeo Jeong's character starting to fall apart as her narrowly focused life begins to collapse.

Variety:
HOUSE OF WHEELS 2: (Ep. 1): Last year, this show was a simple treat. The season opener was much slower (probably because of the cold weather). Bae Doona is the guest but I wished she talked more about her life and her career.

Finally managed to finish The Good Detective and it's so good! Everybody is doing a great job, but Ji Seunghyun (in my mind he'll always be My Country's Chido) is playing my favourite gray character in a long time

This week I also managed to read a bit! Big Flykid recommended me the very excellent webtoons Suitor Armour and Lumine, and I also read and had great fun reading Gideon the Ninth. I'll need a rest from so much gore and bone magic before I take up the second part of the trilogy, but I loved this crazy fantasy novel with a bit of whodunnit in a big gothic futuristic palace. Cavalier girls who love their big swords, and bone magic necromancers who are into dead chicks - what's there not to love?

Vincenzo: Saying this every week. This drama just knows how to have fun and the jokes per minute here is high. There really should be spit-take warnings, especially when they get really on-the-nose regarding what is happening in real life, like when one of the prosecutors mentioned he was working with Team Mafia because he's following the trend - eradication is the trend now as opposed to harmony and forgiveness.

Hello Me: A warm, feel-good drama that also stuck a perfect landing with the ending. And, omg, they brought back another round of the Joa dance! Pretty much every character was a good guy (even the one antagonist repented quickly). I love how it's a drama about Bahn Hani finding happiness again and the romance was more like a tertiary plot.

Mouse: Dr.Daniel is alive and is being hella shady. I wonder if he's been rounding up more conscientious psychopaths to kill off the unrepentant psychopaths? And it looks like the writer and director are up to their camera/timing tricks again. Love that ending scene of Ba-reum hauling the rapist down the path with a chain and the blood mixed with rain leaving a wide trail. It was beautiful and chilling with that background music.

About is Love: Cdrama. Watched it for the 4 lovable second leads and fast-forwarded the scenes of the main couple and family drama. Made a 30 episode drama into a pleasant 6-ish episode watch.

Only watching Navillera currently, loving the dynamics of the different characters. It does a good job in paying attention to the side characters and build their respective plots like the eldest son’s family, the seemingly blissful marriage of the daughter despite real life failures, the youngest son’s choice, the ex-couple of the ballet teachers, and even sofas have a role in this drama. Of course, our OTP is the best but it’s even better whenever they are with the teacher and/or the ortho-doctor - the TEAM!

This week I stumbled upon a lovely, lovey KBS drama special - Review Notebook of My Embarrasing Days with Jeon So-min and Park Sung-hoon. Such a breezy watch and that’s gold standard of what a good romcom should be like. JSM is so earthily lovely while PSH is effortlessly dreamy - just wonder if he’s cast for Into The Ring based on his performance here.

Any recommendations on other drama special?

I've been in a terrible drama slump these past few months. Somehow I ended up watching (more like agonizing) through Dr. John. It was incredibly terrible in my opinion. It was one of those moments where I finished the drama wondering what was the point of its existence. I don't know what I judged more, the drama or the fact that I finished it. I lost count the amount of times Lee Se Young's character cried. It was unreal and it drove me nuts whenever her eyes would well up and she'd treat YoHan like a defenseless 5 year old.

So on another boring afternoon last week I started Heart Surgeons on a whim and it easily became everything Dr. John was not. It was exciting, heartwarming, and the actors were phenomenal. It was my first time watching Go Soo and I'm impressed. His micro expressions are something else. Props to Um Ki Joon as well. And it was a delight to see Seo Ji Hye again. It was refreshing to have a medical drama where the female lead was just as competent as the male leads. *cough..Dr. John* It was a week well spent binging this show. If anyone is ever in the mood for a compelling and cohesive medical drama, check this one out. Albeit the usual medical discrepancies it was a solid show with a great cast.

And last but definitely not least, Vincenzo!! Has Song Joonki always been this good? Last time I saw him was in Nice Guy and I never really followed his career so I don't know how his acting has progressed. This character was made for SJK though. I love love love this show with its dark humor. I adore Cha Young almost as much as SeRa...okay maybe equally. I'll ponder that later. Her energy is contagious and she's charming and witty. Interestingly I've seen some viewers saying they think she's over the top. I like it though. I can't get enough of her. I've yet to catch up but I have my fingers crossed Vincenzo will keep up the momentum to the end.

And I have a confession. I haven't started Oh! Master yet. I don't know what it is with me raving at promos and waiting for a drama for months only not to watch it. Same thing happened with Start Up (haven't gotten past 20 minutes still). Sorry Nana! I'll get to it one day, soon...hopefully.

The highlight of our week is watching NAVILLERA. This show is a gem. But we are also loving OH MASTER which is really good. My wife has a girl crush on Nana- I cannot count the times she has said “She’s so beautiful”.

My Wife stumbled across HAECHI and binge watched the entire thing. She is also staying up with the newest episodes of RIVER WHERE THE MOON RISES. She is now also watching KANGCHI, THE BEGINNING.

Of course she continues to enjoy her beloved Chinese Costume dramas like THE LONG BALLAD, MY HEROIC HUSBAND and THE SWORD AND THE BROCADE.

For something light we continue to watch the C-drama LOVE UNEXPECTED which is a nice rom-com.

The weekender REVOLUTIONARY SISTERS continued to disappoint me in episodes 7 and 8. What is this writer is doing? So what do I watch for a family drama? So far BE MY DREAM FAMILY has held up well so far through 9 episodes. Of course this is a daily so that means there are 111 more episodes to go but there are already enough plot elements for an extended show- and the episodes are only 30 minutes long so it is really no more lengthy than the typical weekender in terms of total elapsed viewing time.

Even though I am not usually a mystery watcher I am looking forward to LAW SCHOOL which starts on Wednesday.

NAVILLERA is such a treat to watch week to week. The injury was brutal but it warmed my heart to see people around Chae-Rok rally around him and care for him in their own ways.

Has anyone watched the first episode of TAXI DRIVER yet? It's early days but I thought it was a very effective and dynamic introduction to the characters and the story. I've been disappointed with so many action shows this year, so I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging it was. Fair warning though, it does deal with disturbing content. I did not feel that the violence and abuse were shown gratuitously (like I feel that many of these 18+ crime shows do) but it might be triggering for some.

My TOP on the list with a big banner over my head :VINCENZO!!!
Now off to the other shows i watch...My Mon-Wed new addicting became "The Long Ballad" a current airing C-drama,that i really enjoy and makes me want the days to come sooner for the episodes(6 eps a week and still feel is not enough)
River Were The Moon Rises : Gotta admit for some weeks now my intrest for it became a bit low and now i'm more on on/off with this one watching it still but detached of it...Not really a problem with the show but guess it's from my side...Gonna pick it up again when it's over and have the desire to watch it...Still,the end of ep. 16 was trully heartbreaking and Na In Woo made me ache for Ondal...
Sisyphus : Well,that disaster ended...Good premise and cast bad.bad execution and writing...At least a great chance to see Park Shin hye act something outside the candy roles...Liked the OSTs
Hello Me: Also ended but this was such a great comfort drama that had a great message...Was simple,funny and sweet with great characters...
Mouse: Still loving it and curious how dark will get and curious about it's conclusion...
