King 2 Hearts

Posted: March 30, 2012 in korean drama

I guess what makes this drama funny is the SNSD portions. It is definitely leveraging on SNSD. ‘Cameo’ Appearance. And I wonder how long will SNSD stick into this drama. Thus far, ep 2,3,4 featured them somehow. Will this lead to actual cameo appearance by SNSD? U get to listen and watch SNSD MV in this drama. Definitely customized for SONEs.

 

Been a while, and yes, 2012 is another year full of dramas. Brand new start, new expectations, which are those that is worthy to watch?

Instead of doing episodes summary/drama information, there’s a new change. I’m adopting the traffic light system.

Disappointing dramas , you shouldn’t watch at all, are in red titles.

All other titles in blue. 

Ongoing in green title, approval that yes, you should/could watch now.

Upcoming drama is in yellow.

Korean:

Highly recommend to watch blind by Kim Ha Neul. A story of a blind witness VS a gangster youngster (Yoo Seungho). How that both combined forces to nail the culprit.

Sector 7 (If you like Ha Ji Won from secret garden). If not, don’t bother to watch this. It’s meant to be fantasy but I find it pretty amusing that the alien form cannot be destroyed by flame and bullets, but can get drilled to death, isn’t the drill made of metal too(like bullets)?. -.-. If you like Primeval series then perhaps u might enjoy this.

Taiwan:

Starry Starry Night is way too artistic a film for me to truly appreciate though the child actors are pretty good.

 

After a long wait, I’ve finally watched Startling each step. You can find the Full episodes RAW online.

So what’s next? After the above drama you will definitely need some lighthearted drama.

If you like dream high, and Beethoven Virus, then Do watch The Musical by Goo Hye-Sun(boys over flowers) and Daniel Choi.Warrior Baek Dong Soo I won’t exactly recommend it, unless you are looking for some action film.

Though Poseidon seemed to be an action packed drama, with super junior Choi Siwon(yes, eye candy) in it, it failed to impress me.

Ongoing Tdrama:

By Ariel Lin & Chen Bo Ran, In time with you. Similar type of drama will be My queen (2009 drama). Yellow Ribbon Love not too bad if you kind of miss girl being boy(you’re beautiful, Hana Kimi) that kind of drama.

Ongoing HK drama: Man with no shadows. I’m guessing that it might be something like Death note. Have yet to watch, but will love to.

 

What’s worth waiting to watch?

  • Heavy hearted drama: Love Rain(Kdrama, starring Jang guen suk & SNSD Yoona). Think it’s gonna be heavy hearted coz the same scriptwritiers produced winter sonata.
  • Thousand day Promise (Kdrama)Simply love the pairing. Su Ae impressed me with Athena, and Kim Rae Won with Love Story in Harvard. I’m sure they can pull off the drama. Probably heavy hearted too.
  • (Tdrama) Going Home. War torn drama. Obviously something about family.Casts: Vic Chou, Janine Chang I may compare it with Road No. 1 by Kim Haneul & So Ji sub.
  • (Tdrama) 真心请按两次铃 (not sure the english title though). Casts: Peter Ho, Janine Chang. Something similar to Autumn’s Concerto in 2008.

Recent Completed drama:

  • Startling by each step(C): 4.5/5, sad ending
  • Lives of Omission(HK): 4/5,  sad ending
  • Love you(T): 3.5/5, Happy ending
  • Hayate the Combat Butler(T): 3/5, Happy ending

Another actor in an ongoing drama that I’m watching is involved in a car accident. First it is Park Shin Hye in YOu’ve fallen for me. Then now Yoo Seung Ho in Warrior Baek Dong Soo. I’m loving this drama slowly, so hopefully they will recover fast.

City Hunter has ended, so has Wax and Wane. Though he former impress me better than the latter.

Anticipating Tree With deep roots (Queen Seon deok production team) in Sept, and Man of Honour (if cast is confirmed, with gd production team that did Baker King) in Oct.

Naturally there’s some disappointment. Especially Startling each step which was rumoured to air in July but now, in Sept! ARGH. More waits.

Ikemen desu ne

The Japanese version of You’re Beautiful. Honestly, I didn’t find this version as appealing as the original. Shouldn’t comment on looks but as a consumer, I am superficial. You’re beautiful (kdrama) original cast is more of eye candy to me, and this is what a idol drama should offer.

Taiwan

Love You ongoing, mid way through

Hayate the Combat Butler, just aired  last week. If you missed Park Shin Hye, watched this.

Korea

City Hunter,airing halfway. VERY NICE =)

Upcoming: heartstrings, more of Park Shin Hye. Plus Jung Hwa from CN blue.

Yoo Seung Ho fans, watched out for his drama,Warrier Baek Dong Soo coming up and replacing Lie to Me timeslot.

HongKong

Wax and Wane, family drama, airing halfway through.
