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!

My Princess: Episode 15

Hurrah for the return of Hae Young and all adorableness! While I loved the transition going on in Episode 14-15, I'm happy that we're finally getting to the meat of the drama and what we've all been waiting for: the vote! To be the Princess or not to be the Princess? That is the question and it's finally up to the voters to discern through all the political drama what to do. I'm pretty sure if I was a voter in this election, I would have thrown my hands up in the air by now. This has dragged on long enough.

My Princess: Episode 14

This has to be one of my favorite episodes so far. It really felt like the drama could have ended here at Episode 14, especially with how all of the loose ends were tied up so nicely. We finally got to witness the downfall of Yoon Joo and not a moment too soon. But it's was really interesting how the beginning of this episode hinted at some angst for our Seol and Hae Young, but that didn't last very long which I didn't mind. With all of the conflicts having been dragged out this long, I'm glad that our characters didn't dwell on the bad moments too long.

My Princess: Episode 13

So many good and bad moments here. While the episode began with some very adorable flirting between Hae Young and Soel, the mood turns south very fast. What Hae Young planned to be a get-away turned into a reunion with more memories for Seol. A phone call later, and the angst begins. Declarations are made, the Chairman collapses, Yoon Joo continues to be her evil witch self, but that doesn't stop our heroes from saving the day! Mom and Hae Young especially...

My Princess: Episode 12

My Princess: Episode 11

My Princess: Episode 10

My Princess: Episode 9

My Princess: Episode 8

I don't think I've ever been so angry with an episode before. Hae Young, how could you? After KISSING her, you threw her away and destroyed her life, crushing her little soul! Don't even pretend it was for her own good because we all know better. Thankfully, Professor Dreamy and his talk with Seol put some courage into her. We've had a lot of crying so far and it's about time our princess steps up and takes the throne. Good job, Seol!

My Princess: Episode 7

Wow, who knew Yoon Joo could be such a witch? At least she finally laid down her cards. From here on out, we should be quite confident that Yoon Joo (ENEMY #1) will be the bane of Seol's existance. I still don't understand her and I REALLY don't understand why she would make Seol wear such an ugly wig! For the first time in this series, I *cringed* when I looked at Seol! Thankfully, it was a wig and only a wig. If it was permanent, I would never have finished the episode. Glad that I did, though, because we're finally getting some romance!

My Princess: Episode 6

Ok, now I'm insanely curious. Oh Hae Young! What are your evil plans now? Just when you were starting to warm up to me, now you've decided to pull out your "I'm evil but will pretend to be good" card? At least it's consistent with your character, but why?? You know you're only going to get hurt later. Or hurt Sul. And we would rather laugh than cry, so if you make us cry then you'll be answering to me! But gah, somehow this reminds me of the Shin v. Yul drama in Goong and you all know how that went down...

My Princess: Episode 5

Oh Hae Young, what to do with you? Threatening a scandal with the princess, assaulting a mannequin, and you can't skip an episode without letting Professor Dreamy know just how great you are. Mmhmm. That's our Hae Young! But what? An affectionate side? Was that my imagination or do you actually care about Sul? I think even the princess was slightly surprised to find you in her imagination. Until she woke up to the nightmare of realizing that she might actually be falling for you. Gah! How could things happen this way?

Dream High: Episode 6

Hmm...what to say about this episode? Well, I'm torn between my new loves--Jin Gook and Sam Dong. Oh the two underdogs battling it out over Princess Grumpy! I have no idea what they actually see in her to love her, but it is adorable that they do and that they are fighting because we want some more of those showdowns! Yes, they are petty, but come on! She smiles at me while she cries with me and OMG ARE YOU WEARING MY UNDERWEAR? Yes, more of those moments...

Dream High: Episode 5

I'm still addicted. This episode, from beginning to end, was overall very well done. We got to see development from Hye Mi, Jin Gook's nobleness, Sam Dong saving the day, and Pil Sook is becoming my favorite character over and over again. The best scene in this episode has to be the four of them dancing to Girl's Generation's "Genie." I had to watch that scene twice because it was so much fun! What a great episode! If we get more of those dancing/singing moments throughout the rest of the show, I will be satisfied ^.^

Secret Garden: Finale

I just finished watching the final episode of Secret Garden, one of my stranger addictions. This show was definitely way better than Marry Me, Mary which both began around the same time. I started watching Secret Garden right after Episode 8 and was quite addicted afterwards. It's not a rational addiction because I didn't really like much about it. The beginning was WAY too long to set down plot and it dragged on and on...after Episode 4, I was ready to give up. If it wasn't for the body swap in Episode 5/6, I think I would have abandoned Secret Garden forever.

My Princess: Episode 4

Finally, after four episodes, the plot is going to move on and it looks like it's going to be one fun ride. So far, we've spent four hours introducing the plot, the background, the characters, and where they stand. And of course, snickering to ourselves the entire time. Honestly, if this show only had Hae Young and Seul bickering the entire time and nothing else, I think I would still be addicted. It's that entertaining.

My Princess: Episode 3

Can you say "super cute"? I can officially say, this is my new favorite fluffy drama currently. Being the third episode that I've watched, we still have another episode to go before the week is over (SQUEE!). But anyways, coming back down to Earth, this drama has kept a good momentum with both touching moments for Seul, hilarious bickering between Seul and Hae-Young, or all of the misunderstandings for Yoon-Ju that make you snicker. Whichever it is (and there is a lot of it), the right moments are there and there are a lot of it.

Dream High: Episode 4

Wow, all of a sudden this drama hit the ground running. Where was this energy before? We finally got past the introduction which is great because honestly, I was waiting for President Jung to finally disappear. Honestly, he just made no sense. Now we leave the plot in the hands of the three special admission students who are stuck in the lower classes where they cannot study music or dancing and there only hope is maybe get into a college...how sad is that? But at least the plot has finally decided to give us some direction. I can tell from now on, we'll be following these underdogs whom the new Principal will refuse to let succeed. Ok, now I'm on board!

Dream High: Episode 3

We are delving deeper into the characters that are Hye Mi, Baek Hee, and Jin Gook. After this episode, it's kind of clear where the line has been drawn. Obviously the three specially admitted students aren't exactly welcome and President Jung left WHO in charge and put his trust in WHO? I question his character and his reasons. Does anyone else feel that this drama has started to get random? Where did Sam Dong come from, anyways?? How does President Jung even know about him? Well, that's where we are this episode.

My Princess: Episode 2

Wow, talk about the LOL's! Seul continues to surprise me and make me crack up while Hae Young is really exercising his acting abilities and wow, shirtless? Can you walk around with your shirt off every episode? Ok ok, just asking! But I just love where this drama is going. The reactions to the plot are so believable that you don't wonder why the characters are acting that way, but what they will do about the situation.

My Princess: Episode 1

Plot? Check. Characters? Check. Characters are believable? Check. All parties are accounted for? Come on, we don't want to leave anyone out here. Check! Logic? Umm, check for now. LOL's? Most definitely! What a way to hit the ground running. This drama means business and it's not wasting time with introductions. In fact, we aren't even introduced to the main characters before they even have their first argument! But that's ok. The rest of the hour makes up for it as we are entertained by four different characters (love square) and a plot to bring back the royal family of Korea. Alright, I'll buy that for now.

Dream High: Episode 2

This drama is still in the 2/5 range, even after this episode. I can see how we're getting a deeper understanding of each character and being introduced to a few new ones. With the bar being so low on the first episode, this episode wasn't much more of a surprise. The plot didn't seem to be going anywhere in this second hour and no one's actions really made sense, especially Bae Yong-Joon's character. We pulled two random people out of thin air without no explanation and we are expected to accept these people as legitimate characters. Logic, where are you?

Dream High: Episode 1

After having just watched the first episode of Dream High, my feelings are mixed. The hype of an idol-filled drama mixed with heavy advertising might suggest that this drama would be the hit of the season, a great way to start off 2011. However, I will try to keep in mind that this is the first episode and we shouldn't hold it against the drama. First episodes tend to be the worst which is horrible if a drama wants to keep their audience to the end. Now onto business!

New Years Resolution

Hello Stalkers!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a safe holiday and if you were travelling, that you got home in one piece. For our news years resolution, we plan on fan subbing at least three dramas this year.

-Dream High

-My Princess

over these next few weeks. So you can look forward to that!

Happy New Year and welcome 2011!
