Drama rambles

23 Oct

Mary Stayed out All Night:

Did you see the trailer?! So much to mock, so little time. What’s with the waving, the leather skinny jeans and why the hell does Jang Geun Seok look like one of the girls!?

We’re hoping that the drama is so bad it’s good- we think it would be kind of sad if it’s actually quite good- where’s the fun in that, hey?! Muhahaha.

Secret Garden:

 We love the idea of a drama about soul swapping- add your usual OTP action, rich cold leading men/ high spirited hard done leading lady and we’re sold but why, why Hyun Bin?? Yes we’re in the very small minority that doesn’t swoon at the very sight of this man but we just don’t get it and from most of the dramas we’ve seen with him, he’s played a miserable git that takes far too long to be redeemed or made likable. (We took an instant dislike to him in MNIKSS).We would have loved it if Jang Hyuk was still on board- how good would that have been? Hehe.

Despite Hyun Bin and his stern ways-we definitely plan to check it out because as we said before we love the premise and haven’t seen a K-drama like this one before but also it’s by the same writers as City Hall which we loved! Yay.

Seriously- What’s with the OTP have matching haircuts? – Sadly it doesn’t look good on either of them.

Queen of Reversals:

Okay we checked this drama out for two reasons:

1. We loved Jung Joon Ho in My last Scandal. He was hilarious and had a feeling he would be just as good in this drama.  

2. Park Shi Hoo- Come on, he’s adorable!

Before we comment on the drama we just had to mention Jung Joon Ho’s appearance- He looks younger in this than he did in Scandal! It’s amazing how different he looks, he actually looks quite good.

Anyway back to the drama- first impressions:

– it was funny, with a good pace and a really nice assembled cast of characters- the way it’s presented and written is actually quite similar to The woman who still wants to marry– which we really enjoyed-  So it’s all looking good so far.

Lawyers of Korea- general thoughts:

We love Lee Sung Jae’s character Han Min Gook – he’s like a fishwife that snipes his way through the drama- He’s so funny and his crush on Yi Kyung is so sweet.  We’re still enjoying this drama and love the visual comedy on show – honestly it’s the small things that make this drama charming and worth tuning in for, also we pretty much love the entire extended cast as well- so many quirky characters to laugh at.

 We just watched the funniest man on man fight between Min Gook and Byun Hyuk aka love rival and we literally sat there laughing our butts off at how silly they both looked- like two old grannies brawling in a car park. It’s worth tuning in to the drama just to witness their fight.

What do you think?
