Newly Added Korean Dramas to "Planning to Watch" List #2

Guys! Guuuuys! You will not believe it, heck it's difficult for even me to believe it, but I am finally graduating, people! I will be a college graduate, a holder of a bachelor's degree in English and Adolescent Education! And they told me watching too much korean dramas would get in the way of my education. I simply scoffed and proved them wrong! 

As such, I will have plenty of time to catch up on my dramas as I prepare to go to Graduate school in the Fall. Below are some recent additions to my Planning to Watch List:

Beautiful Man

Reasons to Watch: 

1) My honey-baby, Jang Geum Seuk. (I could just stop right here, actually.)

2) Playing a beautiful man who uses his beauty to gain/maintain power. (Is Sukkie-baby even playing a role or just being himself?)

3) Who falls for an ordinary girl (which means that there is hope for me, right? I won't be forever alone?)

 

Good Doctor

Reasons to Watch:

1) Endearing synopsis: a brilliant surgeon with the mannerisms of a sweet 10-year-old falls for a fellow surgeon? I bet they'll be so many feels involved.

2) Fellow K-drama fans seem to love it so I'm sure I will too.

Heirs

Reasons to Watch:

1) Heeellllo! Lee Min Ho! AND Park Shin Hye! AND Kim Woo Bin! Seriously! This cast is ah-MAY-zing!

2) Rich, powerful young men and women and love triangles galore!

3) Did I mention the cast?

Master's Sun

Reasons to Watch:

1)  A horror, romantic comedy. Yes! Win!

2)  Gong Hyo Jin from my beloved The Greatest Love and Pasta!

3) Seems similar to Chilling Romance, which I loved! Review here.

 

Heartless City

Reasons to Watch: 

1) Heard it's good. That's all. Don't really know much about this drama nor do I recognize the actors, but I'm willing to give it a try!

That's all for now! Am I missing any gems? It's your duty to tell me! Please and Thank you!  

[K-Drama] Love Rain (2012)

 

Love Rain (2012)

K-Drama (20 Episodes)

Genre: Romance

Synopsis:

When you’re in love, rain can be sweet like flowing emotions, or it can be bittersweet if it reminds you of the love that got away. While in college in the 1970s, Seo In Ha falls in love with the sweet Kim Yoon Hee. But destiny stepped in and separated them, and both moved on with their lives. Forty years later, In Ha’s son meets and falls in love with Yoon Hee’s daughter. Can the young couple finish what their parents started or will fate step in again to separate two generations of lovers?

My Review:

I really liked the concept of the plot of this drama. The whole parents were in love 20 years and then the kids fall in love bit was intriguing, emotional and highly interesting. The four first episodes showing the fast was an excellent touch.The lead characters of course were excellent. I love Jang Geum Suek in everything he does and Yoon A was adorable as Ha Na. The supporting actors added dimension to the series. The soundtrack was good. The ending was the perfect adorable bow to wrap around the drama. My only issue was the pacing of the drama. I felt the indecision of whether or not to remain together because of their parents in episodes 15-18 or so, was overdone. I simply fast forwarded past the angst to the end. I felt like they tried to stuff in too many other conflicts in addition to the main one, which I felt was unnecessary. I mean in addition to the star-crossed lovers bit, we had the evil mom, the love rectangle and even a disease! lol Despite my complaints on the pacing, I really enjoyed Love Rain and would recommend it to any K-drama enthusiast.
