Sanbuingwa (2010)
Hospital Medical Romance
The OBGYN Dept. Works around the clock to save their patients who each arrive with life threatening conditions that affect their families differently. Most situations had closure but there were two patients at least that one doesn't know how that turns out so a bit incomplete. I was tired for them! At the same time there are co-worker romances evolving.
The most innocent but extremely caring young nurse was played by Lee Young-eun. It was fun to see a younger Song Joong Ki. The romantic story was harsh at the end and a little unsettling so I felt bad and annoyed at the Chief OBGYN Doctor. Overall, it was worth watching if you like medical dramas.
Jinsimi Dadda (2019)
A light Romantic Comedy
There are 16 episodes that run about 1 hour long and you will want to watch on to the next episode. It's "light" because the balance is perfect - not to overdrawn or with too much focus on the main couple or second couple. I think if you watched this show again you would pick up even more hidden subtleties. There was a character I really liked who played the CEO of Always Law Firm as he could change roles very well. The writer also portrayed the small "corporate" law firm very well with the overall theme of office romances. The music was okay the main song, "Make It Count" by Chen is worth listening too.
Sseochi (2020)
Military Thriller
This series is absolutely on horror level as the anticipation of what might happen is unnerving. Already set in a forbidding place as the DMZ a volatile body lurks non discriminate to country sides and has the potential to affect all of Korea. There is a biologic forensic edge to this series that adds to its frightening angle.
The casting was done very well. The captain of the search group was a scary individual. Everyone played their parts well. The music was perfect for this film although it's not the kind you would just listen too.
What I liked most of this series was the authenticity of the roles that were played. It was very real.
This could be a series.
Lonely Enough to Love (2020)
Coming To Age Romance Comedy
I liked all the actors and actresses is in this series, the settings and the scenes. The writing of the material for the actual series was consistent and stayed constant through out the episodes. As time went on the residents in the house bloomed one by one and openly shared their concerns in their lives with each other. If you have ever had an opportunity to live like this, or close to it, you know effort has to be in place, daily. There wasn't a second dating set, which I missed, there could of been but it seems the writers held back with this. There were minor other dating sets but no strong couple came forward like the main characters. At one point all the scenes were focused on one character making her choice, I almost got annoyed because I felt bad for the guys. But, the guys did great and ended up bonding closer setting a good example for anyone watching. Time did go a little slow which is why I didn't rate a 10. But, I looked forward to watching it when I could. The OST was great, some familiar songs from other shows. This cast was a great group and I look forward to seeing them in other shows.
Deobeulpaeti (2021)
Why not make this a series-
I almost forgot watching it-it wasn't. It ended and you can think of an ending but it still wasn't there yet in the storyline. There is a pull with the main characters but they hadn't even agreed on a first date day. I liked the unusual start and the way you can tell they were together even though pursuing their own careers. Hopefully, either converting it to a series or having a part 2 is a possibility. The sister really livens it up because there is a certain melodrama feel to what both partners are going through that pulls down the vibe. Thats why I was hoping for a romantic explosion. Theres also the bar owner who is in the movie but Im not sure what hus part is so they need to follow that through.
Woori the Virgin (2022)
Choices as life goes by
There were some great unexpected twists all throughout. The photography was done very well with some very tender moments. . Great job with the overall theme and plot. OST is great too. Wow! Many life stories to be told with this show-that's how life is, right? That's one of the reasons I watch KDrama. I was wondering how it would end, and have to say, with the same, even pace of the main actress. She was very well composed. I didn't expect anything more than a romcom and was pleasantly surprised. I didn't particularly like the CEOs wardrobe, nothing like the main actor in 1% - he was fabulously dressed. Grandmother scenes were poignant. I liked how they showed the cast members when they were growing up. Nicely balanced.
Eunggeubnamnyeo (2014)
Medical Drama Romance
This series has a roller coaster of emotions: laughing, crying and commiserating with the situation. One of the funniest scenes was episode 4.
Scenes included falling out of love, working with your spouse or ex-spouse, falling in love, loving someone who doesn't feel the same way, and waiting for the one you love.
Based with a dedicated chief who cares about them and their patients the interns navigate their caseloads daily and remain close knit outside of work.
Everyone was casted so well! The main theme, divorce, explored opinions, realities and social dynamics of the repercussions of that choice.
Excellent workplace style, dedication and heartfelt romance. At the end of the day it's how you deal with it all. The soundtrack was really one main song.
It's been 9 years...maybe a series 2?
Strangers Again (2023)
Surprises are around the corner
My review is very positive. In fact, I haven't seen a KDrama lately where there are so unexpected turns - and some of them funny, and some hit home. If your in law or have been divorced you can relate to this series. First, the laws around divorce are so different American vs. Korean; how the Lawyers address their clients on the moral issue at hand, what constitutes the right for divorce and alimony. Second, the couples in this series are perfectly matched, each dealing with their own past and set of beliefs which ultimately determines their future with someone.
Divorce is not selective and can happen to anyone at anytime for a multitude of reasons. There's various scenarios played out and it never gets dull with people and their emotions in times of stress. The families portrayed are victims as well because of the dissolution or unmet promises from unfaithful partners.
Watching this show, I am reminded that it's hard work to have a career plus dating, getting married, having a baby, or getting divorced and is a lot of emotional stress.
Very well done. Worth to watch if your interested in the theme.
Ban-chang-ggo (2012)
Redeeming Drama
I thought this was very good. Fast paced, story about a firefighter devoted to his work and goes up and beyond to save victims in distress. He meets a doctor who at first tries her charms to try and get him to do something for her. But, this guy cant be swayed. While seeking him out she ends up falling in hate with him. She even volunteers at his station as a doctor to be near to him. Shes not a stalker shes just on a mission to get him. She needs to mature though and goes through some very difficult times. It maybe easy for a few to be a doctor but there is a ton of responsibility to the patients and the family. Who doesn't need to watch a story thats through hardship hate abounds - thats universal. Worth to watch.
Wolgan Jib (2021)
Sweet Series So Far
This is my first time watching Jung So-Min and I like her style.
There are some very funny scenes:
Ep. 1; when she is responding to an eviction
Ep. 6 (?) when her co-worker and admirer Shin is driving her to the bus terminal.
Jung So-Min pulls of how every girl acts and feels at that age.
Kim Ji-Seong is a man trapped as appearing (and he maybe) as a ruthless real estate buyer where inside he wants to be complimented and loved.
Slowly through her own nature and beautiful face, Na Young-Won breaks through Yu Ja-Seongs personal barrier and the two begin to care for each other.
At this point, Yu Ja-Seong doesn't know why he's even thinking about Na Young-Won and there are several funny scenes with this.
Other funny scenes include showing personal sides of everyone at work and how they care for each other and are their own family in a way.
I haven't seen the end yet, I was hoping it would end well, as most KDrama's do, which is what the world needs.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)
Funny movie with the kids.
My kids don't even know what an inside mall looks like - ours are all outside venues. But, we all found this funny especially if one understands the social arena of malls.
We look forward to watching Mall Cop 2.
The Spy Next Door (2010)
Cute for family
We watched this film 12 years after this was produced in 2009.
Although the characters of "Bob" and the Russians were made to be dorky We laughed a lot as the scenes were funny American idiocies.
For example, when the Russians go to Bobs girlfriends house to kill them they are walking in their neighborhood looking fierce on Halloween. And, even tho they are destroying the house, families remain walking around trick or treating. So American - minding our own business.
Another one is when the girlfriend has to get home immediately to save her kids - she yanks a guy out of taxi and throws him on the ground. What a #MotherBear.
Third, the film displays the struggles of a blended family trying to come together.
How coincidental to now that Russia declared war on Ukraine.
Oddly enough, the Russians in the movie try to create biological warfare to destroy the planet. Why the bad guys in movies are always trying to destroy the planet idk but this is a real danger threat with chemical and nuclear weapons available.
Regardless of the similarities in time, it was a comical relief.
Seolganghwa (2021)
Spies, Politics, Love and Youth
No matter how much people can not trust, steal and are selfish, love will still bloom and grow with those that are open to it. It made me sad and wary tho because of the situation they were all in and the doomed outcome. At the end, I wanted happy ever ending for 3 couples not just one. The acting must of been very tiring for all as there was so much action & drama.
Qin'ai de rong zhuang (2020)
Military-Physician Romance and Brotherly love while fighting for Good
This was very well written and scripted. There's a lot emotions and life decisions happening when your in a military profession as a soldier or doctor and this series displays it well. Most scenes take place either at the military camp, hospital, or police station with lots of twists. It got so intense around episode 37 I had to take a break. Just great, real like human stories fighting the everyday challenges and joys of life if you like the military-doctor theme. Would love to see a series 2 - actors were very well casted, music was beautiful.
Shinibsagwan Goohaeryung (2019)
Series on life an s a female historian during the Josean period
This series has more than what the title eludes too; the role and life of historians during the Josean period. It involves Kings, royal plots, the responsibility socially of Historians, and general life of that period.
The series settles mostly at the Royal Kingdom and happenings there. The main character is Prince Dowan and afemale Historian whom he loves. She is very smart and wise for her age. Without going into detail the series moves pretty well through time in the court and the goals of some of the officials to not correct errors of
The past.
KDramas never cease to surprise me with new history lessons and this will not disappoint.
Sangsogjadeul (2013)
Equivalent to 90210 but in korea
I still think American kids don't have as much responsibility as some of the Asian countries - for example, were not going to marry for a merger, especially being engaged in high school.
I actually was Iin a scenario like this one where the Dad of the boy was a nightmare. And, this Dad is the ultimate ruin of everyone's life whereas if he had not been so focused on money he could of had a better relationship with his sons.
There were some very funny scenes.
There are some interesting student scenes wher you wonder - where are the teachers?
The show is about friendship, love and family commitment.
The Soundtrack OST is perfect. Every time I play it I think of the movie and it makes me happy.
I wonder if it's a true depiction of Korean wealthy schools.
I loved the way Lee Min Ho betrays a high school student who truly loves his girlfriend. The characters were perfectly played. Every girl should have a boyfriend like this.
The King: Youngwonui Gunjoo (2020)
Enter the Parallel Worlds Life
This was a awesome series. Never a dull moment. I'd go to bed and say, I have to take a break because I was almost anxiety ridden with what was going on, and, then that night I'd be back on, watching - for hours.
The cast is great. I never watched anything about parallel worlds so this was my first time. #Facinating
The Love story is wonderful.
I was always worried the Bamboo Forest would disappear with deforestation, and then what would they do?
The ending was a bit of a disappointment after all they went through. Won't add any spoilers here.
The beginning scene was one of my favorites as well as when he walks by her in his military Naval outfit - the footsteps, his look, stature -I'd be staring too!
The most intense was the fighting scene when she shows up at his world - I was exhausted.
Soundtrack OST is not a disappointment and a keeper.
Wonderful storyline. Maybe they'll be anYhe King Eternal Monarch 2.
Seuwingkizeu (2018)
Makes you google history of Koje POW camp.
I didn't know about this island POW camp and I can't be alone. Background info. On the camp would of been helpful to understanding the cause and meanings of the riots. The Americans were caught off guard in the movie and in real life. I think we're one of the more generous nations with POW camps and abiding by international rules that is how we were on the loosing end with safety.
The movie dance story shows across nations how the love of dance, the beat, is universal.
The movie also shows that each individual in war has their own desires in their struggle to achieve their goal.
It's a strong film with several messages. After you watch it- look up the history of the camp and all the battles it had and why.
Yeonaeui mat (2015)
Romantic, funny movie
This was a relief to watch in between tv series. It's 30 based, funny and real. The actors are great at their roles and the subject matter is very sensitive to everyone.
Descendants of the Sun (2018)
Even better second time around
I like both the 2016 and 2018 version of this show and this one is my favorite. Even though it is harder for me to listen to the Vietnam language verses Korean. I liked the actors all around and the story was a bit different and to my liking the second time around. The Vietnam scenes were beautiful. I had forgotten how difficult the doctor became as she struggled with her new loves life and job and how mean she actually was to him. In the end, it's nice to see her turn around. The soldier doesn't change at all with protecting his country his ,sin objective. I felt there were ,
More relationship bonds in this show. It's a show either year yoke can watch over and over in time. Now I see, a third one came out so I'll watch that one too!
Kkotpadang: Joseonhondamgongjakso (2019)
Stories of Forgiveness
Set in the Josean Period, this is a story of an unlucky woman whose fate changes along the way when she meets a matchmaker. The woman is a hard worker and ends up having to choose between her growing up boyfriend who became like her family or her new boss who she has feelings for as well. But, then the story changes to the acts of forgiveness between lovers and friends ultimately giving everyone peace and happiness in their life. The music was superb. It reminded me of theater music from an orchestra and there are many songs throughout the show. Each one, revealing the feelings going on the show. It's overall, very happy with family dynamics and politics of course.
Baekilui Nanggoonnim (2018)
Korean Love Story when there were kings
This was a first of its kind for me and I liked it a lot. I liked the love story between the prince and his childhood friend. I don't know much about the history of this time but there was a lot of sword fighting between regimes. A lot of backstabbing. And, a lot of modern day drama applicable then. There was a lot of servitude. The movie depicted life then and that was informative. The characters were very well appointed.
Driveways (2019)
Who are your neighbors and family?
This is a warm, sad and sometimes funny movie about life on an old street in a mill town where people live forever and still don't know who lives next to them. It's about sisters who grow up and know everything about each other only to move apart and never know each other again until one has to clean up the property of the other. It's about a helpful person who enters your life and silently helps you move on from sadness. It's about staying not leaving and befriending others in moments of importance in life. When my daughter was 9 we spent it with my grandparents. They doted on her and my grandma made her a cake. It was just the 4 of us and it was the specialists of all birthdays. That's how this movie is. #Life. #Friends. SINGLEparenting
Ni he wo de qing cheng shi guang (2018)
Fashion Textile Success For A Designer
This was my first long series drama (50 shows). It's about a designer who wants to be very successful. It starts out when she's younger and as the show develops so does she in her work and relationships.
From a sewing view, it's interesting to see how she designs and tests her work. She is very knowledgeable with fabrics which carry's her through to be successful. She is also not afraid of anything or anyone. She meets a soldier whose family is also in the fashion/textile business and the two begin working as one. I thought the first episode was extremely good showing a trafficking scene where she was abducted and saved by this soldier. There fates match up again when they meet in the business world. The last scene is equally as great so the show never lets you down. Amazingly enough, this man is incredible in his support for his woman as she is for him. If only the world had respect like this.
