Gu Family Book (구가의 서) (Drama Review)

The final episode of Gu Family Book (구가의 서) was aired on Wednesday 26th June.The drama started airing on the 8th of April on MBC and had 24 episodes.

The drama is about a males Gumiho who is half human and half divine creature and shows his struggle after he finds out that he is not a full human. The drama shows the challenges he faces in order to become human and for society to accept him and find true love.

Lee Seung Gi played the male lead Choi Kang Chi and Suzy played the feamle lead Dam Yeol Wool. Other actors in the drama are Choi Jin Hyuk who plays Kang Chi's biological father Koo Wol Ryung, Jo Sung Ha who plays Yeol Wools father Dam Pyeong Joon. Sung Joo plays Yeo Wool's bodyguard and friend Gon, Yoon Yeon Seok plays Park Tae Seo who is Chung Jo's brother. Actress in the drama are Lee Yeon Hee who plays Kang Chi's biological mother Yoon Seo Hwa and Lee Yoo Bi who plays Kang Chi's first love Park Chung Jo and also Jung Hye Young who plays a Head Gisaeng Cheon Soo Ryun.

I will be sad to see it finish I was really enjoying this drama. Normally I'm not a fan of historical dramas but this drama was an exception. I think I might be because Lee Seung Gi is one of my favorite actors and I've liked every drama hes been in but I was also impressed with Suzy's acting in the drama. When I was watching I would forget she was an idol.

The drama had romance, action and comedy which will suit all Kdrama fans and it is definitely one to watch.

Missing You (I Miss You) [Drama Review]

It's been months since I've been hooked onto a drama. I started this new drama, Missing You (I Miss You) last night and I have already watched all 4 episodes in the space of 24 hours. Must be a good one? The storyline got me hooked straight away and I am already in suspense. It has only just started, so unlucky for me but I'm going to have to wait every week now!

It's not that lovey dovey, but there is a very cute romance/friendship in the drama. I have already fallen in love with the characters and want to see what else the drama has in store! So for anyone looking for a good drama to watch, this may be worth a try?

The first 4 episodes were really good and interesting, I'm hoping the rest of the drama doesn't disappoint!

P.S. And Yoochun is going to be in the drama, for all JYJ lovers out there!

My Girl (마이걸) [Drama Review]

Usually I tend to watch the latest dramas so I decided to watch an old school drama My Girl instead. OK, so My Girl (마이걸) aired in 2005 and it might not seem very 'old school' but after seeing their fashion sense in their drama, it definitely earns the 'old school' title.

The lead actess in this drama is Lee Da-hae (이다해) plays the role of Yoo-rin, a compulsive liar who finds herself pretending to be the long-lost cousin of Gong-chan, played by Lee Dong-wook (이동욱) in hopes of helping his grandfather recover from a terrible illness. Yorin and Gong-chan try their best to keep the lie a secret but it is not an easy lie to keep. But Gong-Chan's ex girlfriend, a professional tennis player Seo-hyun comes back to Korea and wants to get back with him and Gong-chan's cousin Jung Woo, Gong-chan's cousin, starts to like Yoo-rin which just makes the whole situation more complicated.

How will Yoo-rin and Gong-chan handle it? And what will happen as they begin to develop feelings for each other but have to act like cousins?

I won't spoil the drama for you but I'll tell you what I liked and disliked about the drama.

Liked:

• It wasn't a typical Korean drama storyline. Yes, the lead guy is a über rich guy. But the general story line where they pretend to be cousins is different to other Korean dramas I've watched which is what I loved about the drama.
• The random busts of comical scenes
• Lee Dong-wook ;)

Didn't like:

• Yoo-rin's excessive lying. There were points of the drama that I was just shouting 'just stop lying!' But that might just mean Lee Da-hae's acting is great and she plays the role really well.

Rating: 8.5/10

I'd definitely recommend this drama.

The Equator Man (적도의 남자) [Drama Review]

Offical Poster for 'The Equator Man'

When I first heard about this drama, I wasn't too sure if I would like it. I read a few reviews about the drama and thought it sounded pretty interesting so I thought I would give it a chance. After watching the first couple of episodes I got totally hooked. In 2 days I watched 8 episodes and was dying to watch the rest but they had not been aired yet.

I really enjoyed Eom Tae-Woong's (엄태웅) acting. He has the ability to adapt to roles quickly and makes the character realistic. I have watched his drama Dr Champ and really liked his acting in that drama so I was expecting the same with this drama. Eom Tae-woongs's plays the character Kim Su-Woo who tries to find justice for the brutal murder of his father. While trying to find out the culprit Su-Woo comes across some unfortunate events in which his becomes blind.

Eom Tae-Woong's new character gives you an insight into his struggle to find justice for his fathers murder while trying to deal with losing his sight. He has to overcome a lot of obstacles and learn new skills to reach his goal.

Other characters in the drama include Lee Bo-Yeong (이보영) who plays Su-Woo's first love, Lee Joon-Hyeok (이준혁) who plays Su-Woo's best friend and Lim Jeong-Eun (임정은) as Su-Woo's childhood friend.

The drama is getting lots of praises from its viewers which has lead to the extension of the drama so now there will be 24 episodes. The Equator man has increased in ratings beating their rival drama The Rooftop Prince. Episode 13 was aired on the 2nd of May 2012.

Let us know what you think of the drama and be sure to check out what we think of the drama as a whole once all the episodes have been aired.

Korean Drama Review: Fashion King (패션왕)

Poster for Fashion King

I'm enjoying this drama, so far I'm on episode 13. The main reason I wanted to watch this drama was because of Shin Se Kyung. I enjoyed her acting in High Kick Through The Roof. (If you haven't watched that drama, that is one to watch, don't let 126 episodes scare you away!)

Yuri (from SNSD) is also in the drama and acts as Choi Ana. I always seem to forget it's Yuri acting, I believe she is actually Choi Ana. Sometimes when idols acts in dramas, I find it hard to remove their status and see them as the character in the drama. But this time I really believe it. I hope she continues to act in more dramas, what do you guys think of her acting?

The drama is about fashion, but also about relationships and the relationships each characters have with each other. It's not as predictable as I thought it would be, each episode has something new and I still don't know what will happen. The 2 main male leads; Yoo Ah In as Kang Yung Gul and Lee Je Hoon they are like rivals in the drama and their relationship makes the drama more interesting.

I wouldn't rate this drama highly as I haven't been totally hooked onto it like some of the other dramas I've watched before, but I think it is worth watching.

Korean Drama Review: Wild Romance (난폭한 로맨스)

Wild Romance is a romantic comedy drama about a basketball player called Park Mu Yeol played by Lee Dong Wook (이동욱) who falls in love with his bodyguard called Lee Eun Jae played by Lee Si Young (이시영).

I have enjoyed watching Lee Si Young's previous dramas such as Boys Over Flowers & Poseidon. She is a versatile actress who can play any type of character perfectly. Her character in this drama is a body guard who is hired to protect a professional baseball player after her starts to receive death threats by an unknown person. You must be thinking a small girl like her out to protect a grown man, don't worry her character is trained in Judo.

This drama shows the unexpected romance between two different people with totally different backgrounds and interests falling in love. I won't give away too much about the drama and let you guys be the judge of it.

Let us know what you guys think of this drama.

Korean Drama Review: Bad Guy (나쁜 남자)

I can't believe I haven't done a review for one of my FAVOURITE dramas, Bad Guy. I watched this drama nearly 2 years now, when it was out. I was TOTALLY hooked to this drama. Firstly, it has an actor I really like, Kim Nam Gil as the main, which totally caught my attention. From start to finish, this storyline had me on edge, especially as I had to wait a week for new episodes!
Me and my sister (Tamanna) have got this down as a drama to recommend to ALL Kdrama addicts, so if you haven't see this drama yet, you know what to do!!

Majority of the dramas I tend to watch are usually the "same." Rich guy, "poor" girl, fall in love, but they encounter a few problems in the middle, usually the dramas end happily ever after. This drama does consist of a rich guy and "poor" girl, but the way it all pans out is what I LOVED about it. At first I thought it would be a typical drama for me and I'd know how it would end, but I was wrong. The storyline is really interesting! (For those of you who have watched it, let me know what you thought of the storyline!)

Kim Nam Gil / Shim Gun Wook

I love unpredictable storylines, just as much as I love catchy OSTs. And this drama has both! Still today I play the OST and it still makes me teary eyed everytime I hear it. By far one of the BEST drama OSTs yet! (I just had to play some of the songs while writing this review and I was right, I am still in love with basically every song!!)
For me, a good drama is not just the storyline, but the perfect music can either do it justice or the opposite!

You know how much I LOVE this drama, for those of you who still have not watched the drama...You know what to do and let me know what you think and if you are in love with this drama as much as me!
