Lie to Me: Episode 3 & 4

Even though I wasn't too sure about the first two episodes, this drama is starting to have me hooked. So far, I've been enjoying the set-up and the love/hate between characters, Ah-Jung's desperation to prove herself, and the brothers and their love triangle (which we still only know minimal about). This drama's pace isn't very fast, so we have lingered on this lie, going through the angst over a possible law suit, etc. However, with the ending of episode four, the drama has taken a lurch forward and promises to finally move forward!

49 Days: Drama Review

Have you ever thought of what it is like on the other side? Or those you have lost--what if they were given a second chance? What is amazing about 49 Days is how we are taken through the path of one's life and we get to re-examine it in a whole new light. We get to see love and betrayal, hope and hopelessness, laughter and tears, and in the end--we see that in every death, there is a new life. If there was ever an epic drama, this would be it.

Best Love: Episode 1-4 Review

I've been eagerly waiting for the next Hong Sisters' drama ever since I fell in love with You're Beautiful and My Girlfriend is a Gumiho this last fall. Both dramas were full of wit, charm, and funny moments that there was no doubt in my mind: I'm a fan! So now Best Love/Greatest Love has made it's appearance and Mother's Day has passed, I finally have a chance to review it! However, it definitely wasn't what I expected...

Lie to Me: Episodes 1 & 2

I'm going to start reviewing episodes in two's because I work during the week and it's getting difficult to review individual episodes when I can only get to them during the weekend. So here is my two cents on Lie to Me, which aired Monday and Tuesday of this past week! I have to say that the drama is very entertaining, though a different feel from 49 Days which has been the only drama I've been following up until this week. While I missed the awesomeness that was 49 Days and was slightly critical of Lie to Me at first, this feeling didn't last long. By the end of Episode 2, I actually found myself craving more of the fun that Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan.

49 Days: Mid-Drama Review

I am definitely late on the bandwagon with this drama, but now that I've jumped aboard, I'm 100% committed to it. This drama was recommended by Edna from Dramafully and it took a little persuading (real life is a killer right now), but I gave it a try. Three days later, I am now updated on all of the excitement, adorableness, death-glares, and hot-sexy-scheduling going on. The only question remains: why didn't I pick up on this awesome drama in the beginning??

Dream High: Finale

Talk about a drama full of surprises. When I first started this drama, I had my doubts. Not only did the acting lack, but the first three episodes did not interest me at all. At the end of 16 episodes, however, I have to say that this makes my list of top 5 favorite dramas. We saw growth in our favorite characters, redemption in our enemies, heartbreak when Sam Dong started losing his hearing, and of course all of the fun stuff that made us laugh in the middle: underwear wars, lollipops & love letters, terminator impressions, flower clips, and even a flash a mob! What an awesome drama it was...

My Princess: Finale

I feel like the drama only just got started and suddenly ended. I can't say that it's technically the time that went by, but the pace that the story went. The ending itself was satisfying in the respect that it wasn't about tying ends, but furthered the plot development, character development, etc. This is the first time really seeing some decent conflict in the last episode to bring about a great ending. Too bad the whole drama couldn't be this way!
