Synopsis:

Hong Nan Hee and Byun Hyung Tae have been friends for as long as they can remember. They have an uncommonly close friendship where they can always call each other, drink together, and support each other. Their close friendship has often been the cause of trouble in their relationships. As Nan Hee turns 30, she realises that she is running out of time, and may only have one chance left for love. She is currently dating Kim Jung Joo, a talented baseball pitcher whose dream is to play in the American Major League, who is eight years her junior. After a disagreement with her mother, Nan Hee moves out of her family home. With hardly any money and nowhere else to go, she moves into Byun Hyung Tae’s house. As the two grow even closer, they realise that their friendship may be the reason they have never had a successful relationship, and that they must choose- love or friendship?

General Thoughts:

Don’t be deceived, apart from a few wild analogies- it has nothing to do with baseball. Seriously though, it’s not a bad drama, it just moves incredibly slowly. There’s basically nothing going on besides the gradual development of feelings between Hong Nan Hee and Byun Hyung Tae.

Most baseball action in the whole drama

Apart from our two main leads, hardly any characters get any development. A significant portion of the drama was devoted to Kim Jung Joo, and then he just sort of disappears. Besides Kim Chun Hee, we actually don’t know much about anyone else in the supposedly tight-knit group of friends. The drama could have been so much more heart-warming had it focused a little more on the friends as a group, rather than Nan Hee and Byung Tae as a couple. While there were definitely cute moments between our main couple, a lot of the time it felt like rehashing what we already knew. “I want to move out” vs. “I want you to stay”, “I want to love you” vs. “Don’t risk the friendship”. I originally started out watching the episodes back-to-back, but had to change pretty quickly to leaving at least a day’s gap between them, because I was just getting so frustrated at how slowly things were moving.

Cute snapshot of life over 30

The characters themselves were very realistic and believable. No one made big, bold moves that really created a sh*tstorm, because no one wanted to mess up their lives. Unfortunately though, this did contribute to the plot moving at a snail’s pace.

What Was Great:

Noona Romance:

Long live noona romances. They are just adorable. There are few things better than watching a young man battle against the odds to claim the affections of the woman he wholeheartedly loves. And Jung Joo is such a great character. He’s got our typical younger male puppy-love, immature jealousy, and burning passion. All must-haves for a good noona romance.

Can you get any cuter? 

He has that little bit of uniqueness as through all his actions, he constantly holds that tiny piece of fear that he will lose Nan Hee because he is not man enough.

Sad reality of the noona romance

This drama delved into some big, realistic problems with noona romances: the simultaneous pride and embarrassment of your partner, family objections on both sides, and loss of time. It was heart aching to watch the two circle each other, with Nan Hee feeling both like she was running out of time, and as if she was stealing time and youth from Jung Joo. My favourite parts of the drama definitely involved Jung Joo. It was after his disappearance that I felt the plot started to lose steam.

Questionable Friendship:

The relationship between our two main leads was pretty great. They were so comfortable around each other that gender didn’t play an important role- but then we got those awkward moments when our character would think ‘Oh, he’s handsome’, or ‘She’s like a woman today’.

Adequately amusing shenanigans

The friendship also laid the groundwork for mass-jealousy. We had jealousy from the outside- those romantically involved, jealousy from within- when they felt the girl/boyfriend was closer than them, and jealousy of each other- when one had a partner and the other didn’t. It was relaxing and easy to watch the dynamics constantly shift around, but again, not a lot actually happened.

What Wasn’t:

Slooooooow:
I’ve basically said all I need to on this. The plot was slow. Nothing actually happens. There’s some things that happen in the workplace, and a few things that happen with outside relationships, but not much. Nothing is given even close to the same amount of development that is given to Nan Hee X Jung Joo and Nan Hee X Hyung Tae.

That sexual tension though

There were a lot of half-assed side plots that never really found their feet- they just kind of lurked in the shadows debating whether or not to emerge.

Friendship Circle:

What little glimpses we got of all the friends together were actually really nice. But we were never given enough information on anyone. Supposedly Lee Jun Mo was a major contender to become Nan Hee’s husband- but did any of us believe he actually stood a chance? No. Because All we knew about him was that he dated Nan Hee a while ago, and they broke up because of Hyung Tae. We all KNEW our main couple would end up together- but a little contest would have been appreciated.

Everyone loves a bit of boy biffo

It was the same sort of thing with Yoon Sung Ah. She and Hyung Tae dated. She and Hyung Tae broke up. She and Hyung Tae dated again. That’s pretty much all there is to it. Oh, and she cheated with the dead guy. Speaking of the dead guy- what up with that? It was as though the writers only thought of this development a minute before they put it in. It could have been a MAJOR development, but it was just swept under the rug.

Oh I'm sorry, who are you?

The impact of his death on his friends was interesting to watch, but would have tugged a whole lot more heartstrings if, you know, we actually KNEW any of them. Also, why would Nan Hee not tell Hyung Tae that guitar-girl cheated on him? The dynamic between the two girls was a tad wishy-washy, I could barely even tell if they were openly competing against each other for Hyung Tae or if they just enjoyed saying snarky things every now and then.

Honestly, as much as I hate flashback sequences, I feel this drama may have needed some, or at least something to develop the group of friends beyond ‘our main couple’s mutual friends’.

Friends or Love?:

Similarly to many points in this drama, it just dragged on for too long. Really, as soon as it got to the point where Hyung Tae was ready to walk away from their friendship because it wouldn’t survive their marriages to other people, Nan Hee should have been on board. She had nothing to lose at that point anyway.

Ha Ha

While it was great to have all the awkward of slowly realising their feelings, and questioning their intentions- there was just this lull from about 2/3s in.

This guy knows what's up

Everybody knew they were ending up together. Legit everyone. It was charming for a while have our support characters chuckling from the sides, knowing how their relationship would play out but it was a little overused and bordered on irritating after a while when our main lady didn’t respond. Because, let’s be honest, Hyung Tae really did all he could.

Holiday:

It was adorable. The whole scene was pretty picture perfect and played out quite nicely. The casual confession and suggestion, begrudging acceptance, giggly honeymoon phase. I was expecting when our main couple returned from their getaway that they would be smacked with some real-world problems, and watch them slug it out together (similar to Nan Hee and Jung Joo at the start). But alas, Nan Hee turns into a big chicken and backs out of everything, and we’re back to square one- but this time with a very frustrated Hyunng Tae and a very frustrated audience. It’s understandable that she doesn’t want to ruin the friendship- it is. But when Hyung Tae was ready to walk away from their friendship anyway, and Nan Hee STILL didn’t suck it up and dive in, I wanted to smack her. Smack her hard.

What's not to like?

Development for Nothing:

I was so invested in Jung Joo’s character. Not gonna lie, when he was around vying for Nan Hee’s heart I was rooting for him- even though we all know he wouldn’t get the girl in the end. His determined passion was just so inherently likeable. He goes through so much struggle and development, and is such a driving force in the beginning stages of this drama, so I couldn’t help but feel a little gypped when he vanished off for America with no return. It makes sense storywise why he went- it was his dream, and Nan Hee would have been constantly looking towards him wanting to go back to him that it would have made things difficult to progress.

Come back Jung Joo!

While I suppose that this rings true to real life- after a serious breakup that’s the end of the role that person will play in your life, I just so desperately didn’t want it to be the end of Jung Joo’s role in this drama. At least we got the 10 second video at the end, so we know he was smashing it in American baseball.

Re-watch?

No, once was definitely enough. The development of feelings was cute to watch, and Nan Hee and Hyung Tae were both likeable characters- but everything just moved far too slow. Not every drama has to have a racing plot, but it does need at least a little forward momentum.

It may have taken 16 hours, but we got there in the end

Synopsis:

Choi Kang Joo is the eldest son of Taeyang Group, a large conglomerate. His family is rumoured to have been cursed hundreds of years ago, and as a result of the curse, the first wife of the eldest son will die on the wedding night. Due to this rumour, Kang Joo’s family is unable to set him up with an advantageous business marriage. Jang Yi Kyung is the daughter of a failing company, and her mother agrees that she will marry Choi Kang Joo for his family’s support, even though Yi Kyung has no desire to marry Kang Joo. When Yi Kyung runs away in the middle of marriage negotiations, her mother discovers a girl named Na Doo Rim, who happens to look exactly like Yi Kyung. Yi Kyung’s mother pays Doo Rim to pretend to be Kang Joo’s fiancé until Yi Kyung is found.

Kim Ah Young (God of House)

General Thoughts:

I really, really, really wanted this to be a good drama. The first half was amazing, starting off at a strapping pace. We get an instant idea of who our main characters are, and what situations they are in. The plot moves fairly quickly, with the characters making bold moves right from the start. We are set up to feel pity for Jang Yi Kyung when we see Choi Kang Joo treating her badly, which predisposes us to feel positively towards Na Doo Rim, her doppelganger. Na Doo Rim completely steals the show, not taking a backseat to Kang Joo, and her fiery rebellion is a great contrast to Yi Kyung’s simmering dissent. Yang Jin Sung does an excellent job expressing her two different roles, capturing both Doo Rim’s cheerful innocence and Yi Kyung’s festering anger. Lee Hong Ki is perfection (when isn't he) and gives a wonderful performance- perfectly capturing the very gradual softening of Kang Joo’s heart.

The beginning was ripe with hilarity

However, no amount of great acting can cover up for poor script writing. At exactly the halfway point, the plot takes a dive, and our characters suffer for it. The plot slows right down and we are privy once more (as is so common in K-Dramaland) to characters making stupid decisions. At this point in the drama they start to introduce the idea that longing and letting go is also a form of love.

"Why yes, I will lose my sh*t halfway through."

Sweet baby Jesus, we’ve seen so much bloody longing and letting go in K-Dramas. Please no more. When done well, and for good reasons, a main lead stepping back from their desires for the happiness of their significant other is heart-wrenching and bittersweet. However, in this case, it’s just a display of pure stupidity. If abandoning your loved one changes nothing in their situation, why abandon them at all? And the lame, played-out excuse of ‘saving them from suffering’ doesn’t cut it anymore. Haven’t we all gathered by know that being heartbroken at the departure of their lover is a form of suffering? Seriously. The writers also try to over-complicate a rather simple plot. Most of our characters’ major cards had already been played, and they’re all doing a lot of darting around in the shadows to try and get the upper hand, while not a lot is changing on the surface. The series also started out with a fair amount of quality humour, but that starts to flat-line as the drama has an identity crisis and tries (and fails) to become a melodrama.

We all know, but no one cares

The show gets back a bit of its old spark towards the end, bringing the humour back in and starting to round the rather haggard plot into its climax. And then we have some more uncalled for ‘I’m going to leave you because I love you’, with no real consequence except to make our characters (and viewers) miserable again.

What Was Great:

Ghostie Girl:

Most adorable ghost ever

The ghost was a nice twist on the classic rich-man, poor-girl scenario. I really enjoy characters with hidden motives, as it prevents the drama from becoming too predictable, and frankly it can get a little boring when you know what everybody wants. Right until the end, it was unclear what the intention of our ghost was- did she want to kill Doo Rim or not? I must admit, towards the end there I was hoping she would. What I was most worried about was that the drama would fail to address why this ghost was bothering this family, but thankfully, we got an episode that explained quite nicely what our ghost’s deal was. It was a pity the rest of our characters weren’t mapped out this nicely.

Flashback:

I’m not usually a fan of flashbacks at all- particularly when they are used to explain the current actions of the characters. However, surprisingly enough, this drama showed a nice little example of how effective flashback can be when pulled off well. It gave us insight into both our living character’s intentions, and also perfectly explained why ghostie was harassing this family. The key point was that the drama didn’t focus on the past characters for too long, only giving us a little snapshot of what had happened, while managing to include all relevant information.

Oppa:

Okay, Jang Yi Hyun was a great (if unrealistic) character. He was essentially perfect- with a kind heart, gentle nature, and strong sense of responsibility. The way he protected Doo Rim from the Choi family, and eventually even his own family, was massively endearing. He had so much cute going on with Doo Rim, and it was so easy to love him as an audience. Running away to live a happy life with this man does not sound like a horrible plan at all.

He's basically just wonderful. All the time. Forever.

Initial Setup:

The beginning of this drama was so, so, so, so good. All our characters had reasons behind their actions, and we even had some pretty surprising character reveals- with some people in our main cast not being who we thought they were. The idea of the curse was set up strongly, and our characters were slowly beginning to circle each other in preparation for the big climax- which sadly fell a bit flat after a drag in the build-up. We were also given little hints to side problems that may arise later in the drama: daddy Choi’s first love, discovery of Doo Rim, and Oppa’s half-brotheriness.

Back before the drama lost the plot (quite literally)

Roo Mi:

Oh, how rarely do we see a well executed turn-around for our female jilted ex-lover. Originally Roo Mi was set up as dislikable- antagonising Yi Kyung and doing everything in her power to keep Kang Joo for herself.

Omg, a successful side-woman character switch-up

She is the perfect opposite force for Doo Rim, giving Doo Rim opportunities to buck up, display some delightful sass (without coming off b*tchy), and stick close to Kang Joo. Unlike SO many girls in K-Dramas- Roo Mi when to back off. Instead of making an ass of herself when she realised Kang Joo was really in love with Doo Rim, she backed away from the situation. Hooray! It was totally believable that she didn’t like Doo Rim for a patch in the middle- who likes the girl that captures the heart of the man you love? Then, as the story progresses, and Doo Rim makes stupid, incomprehensible decisions, Roo Mi works really hard to help Kang Joo and Doo Rim’s relationship work, because she’s a smart lil’ cookie, and figures out that she can’t be happy and move on if the man she loves is miserable. The discovery of Yi Kyung’s true character also makes it much easier to accept Roo Mi’s apparent character change. It was a wonderful, well-executed character 180°.

Grandma’s Role:

Okay, this whole tie-in with Doo Rim’s family was actually pretty cool. It was nice that they revealed all these hidden connections, even if it was mildly incestuous.

What an unexpected gem

What Wasn’t:

Letting Go is Love Too:

Oh. This whole concept is just….blegh. We are actually given a nice, hidden, accurate representation of what this means. Roo Mi. Even though she loves Kang Joo, she lets go of her feelings for him so they can both be happier.

If you run off I'm going to dislike your character instantly. 

I cannot stress enough- THIS CONCEPT DOESN’T REALLY WORK ON TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE TOTALLY IN LOVE. It just doesn’t, K-Drama. Stop trying to make this a logical move. It is never, ever going to be a logical move between our main couple. Sure, Doo Rim’s backing out made sense when Kang Joo didn’t even know she existed. He really might have been happier not knowing that the fiancé he fell for was a different chick. Maybe. But then the second running away is just ridiculous. Not only does Kang Joo specifically ask her to wait until the commotion dies down so they can be together, but nothing actually changes with Doo Rim’s disappearance. Except that now both she and Kang Joo are sad little heartbroken babies. Not even kidding, the situation would have played out the same regardless of Doo Rim’s presence- the only difference being that everyone would have felt a little less like shooting someone if Doo Rim had even tried to stick it out. It’s just salt in the wound that Kang Joo has potentially ruined his whole life for this girl, and she just buggers off. I swear, if another K-Drama does this (which it inevitably will), I’m going to lose my noodle.

Not my tears.

Ethical Queries:

Okay, was I the only one that was massively uncomfortable when this girl married Kang Joo while still pretending to be someone else? It was dead creepy. The whole scene was given this super dreamy, golden light and music vibe, and I’m just sitting here like ‘dude, he doesn’t even know who that is’. Was it supposed to be sadly romantic when in her vows she thinks her own name, but says someone else’s’? Because it wasn’t. It was weird. And wrong.

Wrong on so many levels

Doo Rim was given so many perfect opportunities to tell Kang Joo who she really was, and she passed them all up. That whole episode was just waiting for her to let the secret out, but no. She chooses to secretly marry this poor, unsuspecting man while continuing the lie. Understandably, Kang Joo’s not pleased when he finds out.

What. What are you even. You crazy.

And then, THEN, ohmygodguys, THEN she has a secret baby. I mean, the whole marriage thing can sort of, maybe be given a pass if you kind of squint your eyes. It was her he loved and not Yi Kyung after all. But on what planet is it okay to give birth to your sort-of-husband’s baby and raise it for two years- all while he’s running himself ragged to find you? Not this one, I can tell you. In this moment, Doo Rim’s character lost any feelings I still had left for her (which was minimal after the uncalled for disappearance). I was really hoping Kang Joo would find her, blow his top, take the kid, and arrest her for impersonation and identity theft. But no, he’s not even mad. He’s mad that she lied to him for a couple of months about her name, but it’s totally cool that she lied to him for two years about his own fatherhood. Drama, what are you even doing. Stop. Stop it now. Stop it forever.

Oppa’s Family:

I didn’t really get this whole plot-point. Is Yi Hyun actually related to Yi Kyung? I thought so, but then everyone’s talking about how he wouldn’t act this way if Yi Kyung was his real sister. Isn’t a half-sister still a sister? Don’t these kids have the same baby-daddy? I thought they did.

Sooooo is it borderline incest or not?

Really, I don’t know why they bothered bringing this up at all because it had no impact on anything relevant. Maybe the writers were hoping it would just make it a little less weird that Oppa fell for a girl with the same face as his sister.

Re-watch?

Absolutely not. This drama made me so mad. It was most likely the excellent start that made the low points seem so very, very low. I don’t think I’ve ever been so angry at the writers before now. Why did you kill this drama half-way through? Jerks.

There was so much right, but so much wrong

Synopsis:

After Detective Yang Shi Ohn wakes up from a six-year coma, she is assigned to the Police’s Lost and Found Department. While working, she discovers that since waking up from her coma, she is able to see ghosts who have a lingering attachment to the world. Together with her partner Cha Gun Woo, she helps solve cold cases so that the ghosts can move on to the afterlife. One of the ghosts is Detective Lee Hyung Joon, a detective who died six years ago while on a stakeout for a drug trafficking case- a case that is connected to Yang Shi Ohn’s coma-inducing injury.

Cast:

So Yi Hyun (Yang Shi Ohn)

Ok Taecyeon (Cha Gun Woo)

Kim Jae Wook (Lee Hyung Joon)

General Thoughts:

The plot was laughably bad

I think it says a lot about a drama when there are only three main cast members, and they are all involved in the main love-triangle. The storyline itself isn’t all that good, it’s pretty shallow and there’s nothing going on under the surface. Everything is face value- what you see is what you get. There are no real surprises, even though the show does try, it’s all pretty clear where everything is headed. Taecyeon and Jae Wook are sad victims of poorly written characters, and rather thankfully, So Yi Hyun’s character was also poorly written- allowing us to mostly bypass her average acting ability. No characters change or develop, the plot is overly simple, and the second half drags.

What Was Great:

Male Cast:

By far the shining beacon of hope in this drama is its male actors. Originally, I only picked up this drama because it had Taecyeon on the front, and I was delighted to see that Kim Jae Wook would also play a role. Taecyeon fits well with the goofy, headstrong cop, delivering believable emotion in the one or two scenes that called for it. Jae Wook kills it as both the silent, vengeful ghost, and the loving, straight-shooting detective. He displays more depth and emotion in one silent facial expression, than our leading actress managed in the whole drama. Both the boys did excellent jobs at performing their rather sloppily constructed characters.

Just bask in the beauty of the boys

Ghosts:

I hate horror. I get scared easily. This drama does a really good job of making the ghosts creepy, but not scary. The ghosts were all acted really well, able to convey great emotion without uttering a single word. The ghost plotlines were also the most interesting aspect of the drama. These plotlines asked for very little acting ability from So Yi Hyun, and each segment was long enough that it was an interesting, well-rounded story, but short enough that it never felt dragged out.

Oh ghost girl, please distract me from the disaster that is the main plot

I was hoping that we would have a few more short ghost cases before getting into the so-called ‘thick’ of the story, as I so accurately predicted that there wouldn’t be enough content to stretch across 8 or so episodes. Sadly, the drama tries getting to the main point too fast, and loses what little momentum it had.

What Wasn’t:

Bad Acting:

Classic deer in headlights

I’ve never actually seen So Yi Hyun in anything else, so I don’t know how much was her little amount of acting ability, or just a terribly written character. In any case, the boys were able to act well (enough) despite their two-dimensional characters, and she wasn’t. It was less noticeable during the ghost plotlines, because all she had to do was stand there like a startled rabbit- and we all know Korean actresses are great at that. Even if you can’t do anything else, if you can do a good startled rabbit- you’re golden. Seriously though, as we got into the main story it became more apparent that Yi Hyun was not the best fit for the role. The sporadically written character (going from deadpan, humourless detective, to klutzy, cheeky girlfriend) was not helped by So Yi Hyun’s increasingly schizophrenic performance. Casting a weak female lead is basically shooting yourself in the foot.

That character flop though...eish

Poor Plot:

There’s not a lot that can save a badly written plot, try as Taecyeon and Jae Wook may. It’s just not good. It’s written as though it wants to go deep into the corruption in the police force and politicians, but it never really makes it there. It might have worked, had there been a few corrupt individuals, and innocent Detective Hyung Joon was working with them when he got shot, but the writers tried to make it too big. It wasn’t even slightly believable that two cops from Lost and Found could get involved in a highly efficient, deep-rooted string of corruption and get away (mostly) unscathed.

The police-work...it's not good...

There was never a sense that our two main cops were in over their heads, and they managed to arrest the highly powerful baddies far too easily. Go back to your little lost and found box where you belong. If a weak female lead is a shot in the foot, a terrible plot is shooting yourself in the head. Similar to how I’m sure many of us felt after sitting through this fiasco of a drama.

Character Similarities:

Cha Gun Woo and Lee Hyung Joon are way too similar. It was as though the writers couldn’t get past their own concept of a perfect man enough to create two distinguishable, enjoyable main male leads. Okay- dead, vengeful, angry ghost Hyung Joon was fantastic. He was stoic and determined in death. But in all flashbacks, alive Hyung Joon was cheeky, funny and sweet- much like Gun Woo. He also had a strong sense of justice and responsibility, taking his work extremely seriously- just like Gun Woo.

Notice any similarities?

Due to these similarities, it never felt like Yang Shi Ohn actually liked Gun Woo. All the moments when we see her contemplating her growing feelings are situations in which Gun Woo has acted similarly to Hyung Joon. I get that people have an ideal type, but these two boys were basically the same person. It just came across as Shi Ohn looking for the ghost of Hyung Joon in Gun Woo, rather than liking him for who he actually is. Did not buy the romance between them at all.

It's all a little uncomfortable

More Comas:

K-Dramas love their comas. First off, six years is a long bloody time for someone to be in a coma. Not to mention if Shi Ohn had accidently stumbled into witnessing the biggest corruption in the Korean police force, I’m sure SOMEONE would have managed to snuff her out in the six years she was lying there all defenseless.

Here's a coma, there's a coma, everywhere a coma coma

Why bother giving us the spark of hope with Hyung Joon? So he’s not dead- yay! But his girlfriend finds him just in time for him to die- boo! Not killing off Hyung Joon originally added nothing to the plot or character development, and he ended up dying anyway. I’m not sure if my verging tears were for Hyung Joon, or the 16 hours I flushed away.

She Didn’t Look at Him:

Look at the beautiful man, LOOK AT HIM

Was I the only one bothered by the fact that Shi Ohn didn’t look at Hyung Joon’s ghost as he died? Surely this pissed off more people than just me. It’s such a stupid thing to get annoyed about, but I just can’t help it. Like, rather than looking at his currently…living(?)…existing(?) presence, she’s focused on his dead body. C’mon girl, the dead body will be there forever. Turn your ass around to look at the smiling, weeping ghostie who’s trying to say goodbye to you. Jeezus.

Re-watch?

Never. I adore both Taecyeon and Jae Wook- but frankly, I can watch them in other, better dramas.

I feel sad for all Jae Wook's wasted potential
