“Is that a wild boar chasing us?!?!”
I’m back in my kdrama swing of things. Luckily for me, the new batch of kdramas started airing last week and today. My thoughts so far?
- The Hong Sisters’ new drama My Girlfriend Is a Nine-Tailed Fox (or Gumiho) is very promising from what I’ve seen in the first episode. A supernatural twist to melodramas I usually see is very welcomed right now. The girl is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous, I can’t take my eyes off her. She definitely fits her role. Lee Seug Gi is a good actor from what I’ve seen in Brilliant Legacy but he’s not my favorite. Let’s pray that this one will be better than Hong Gil Dong and it’s ‘plateau effect’.
- Watched 10 minutes of I Am Legend. I think Asia is going through a trend of middle-aged men/women doing rock band. One example is Shonen Merikensack. Over the last year, I’ve already seen more than 5 films based on this premise. An additional TV series wouldn’t hurt, I guess.
- Is it just me or does that REALLLY say GUILTY PANTIES on Kim Hyun joong’s uniform in Playful Kiss? That’s some really bad Engrish right there. I still can’t get my mind off of it. I have to admit, the guy is really pretty and he would’ve fit the Hanazawa Rui role in Boys Over Flowers if he just acted like himself in We Got Married!. Oh Lettuce Couple <3. I’m actually pretty pumped for this one but I’m not having any high expectations. Every time I have high hopes for a drama, they always turn out to be a disaster in the making. Now I actually liked ISWAK but I was teen back then. Even then, it took a long time for me to start liking it. I’m probably going to have a different opinion anyways since a) I’m older, b) I’m not stupid and I love strong heroines, and c) Hyun joong’s acting abilities is very limited. A toothpick and him would be best friends.
