General Thoughts:

It’s an interesting watch for sure, with the story not being the typical cheesy, sugary fluff that is usually delivered short shows. I do find that events that showcase winners of script competitions, or scripts that have been specially selected (such as TVN’s Drama Stage that this series was on) do tend to move away from the cliche- as this is the reason why the scripts are noticed in the first place.

Not your usual love story

It’s pretty hard to tell a detailed, well-rounded story that can pull on your emotions in only one hour, and I think the writer here did a pretty good job at bringing out the important points of the story, while ignoring more trivial facts. I almost would have liked if this drama had been a smidge longer, as it seemed as though there were more layers to what we were shown,

This pairing weirdly grew on me too

and that so much of what the writer had imagined for these characters was cut out due to time constraints. The show never felt childish or cheap the way a lot of other short shows do, and it felt like it was created with care by all the production staff involved. There were nice music choices, and the directing hand felt confident and sure of the story they wanted to tell. The acting was surprisingly good, especially from Song Ji Hyo. While I’m a fan of her (mostly from 'Running Man'), I must say that I do sometimes feel as though she’s putting up a wall between herself and her characters. However even though this was only a very small drama, I really felt her throwing everything she had into this character. Ga Young’s innocent happiness when she thought someone liked her, crushing embarrassment when she realised they didn’t, and feelings of humiliation and uselessness afterwards all felt very authentic due to Song Ji Hyo’s portrayal of the character.

The secondhand embarrassment was strong

Ga Young felt like a character that had been lived in, and we were being offered a small snapshot into her life. Though admittedly, I do find it a little exasperating when shows play that someone as devastatingly beautiful as Song Ji Hyo has not had a sniff at love. Like sure, pull the other one. And when Ga Young dresses up and everyone is surprised at how pretty she is. As if a bad hairdo and plain work clothes could hide the fact that Song Ji Hyo’s looks are waaaaaay above average. But moving on from Song Ji Hyo, Jo Woo Jin seemed sweet but unremarkable in his role.

An interesting learning curve

The story was definitely about Ga Young and her self-discovery, so the male characters were pushed to the side. Jo Woo Jin did a good job at not making his character seem too lame or unlikeable, only slightly nerdy, so it wasn’t out of the realm of possibility that someone like Ga Young would fall for him. Kang Yoon Jae had a pretty small role, but he played the cute younger man with…well…a good deal of cute. 

What Was Great:

Different:

I liked that this show skewed more to melancholic rather than humour, as it gave the show a more thoughtful, mature vibe. It made the plot feel very different from something that you would usually find in a short drama, and set it apart.

Not a lot of dramas have their lead not being romanced

The fact that the love letters were actually a marketing scam was a great twist that I definitely didn’t see coming. Rather than playing this twist for a laugh, the show instead looked at how lonely and pathetic that made Ga Young feel, and how just the idea that someone might have liked her made her feel like such an important person. It was an interesting commentary on self-importance and confidence that I think does ring true to real life. When someone is interested in you, you feel special and important, no matter who it is that likes you- whether it’s the cute younger coworker, or the slightly odd older coworker. Of course having these letters come from no one made those feelings Ga Young had disappear in an instant. Having our heroine not being involved in some sort of romance was a bold and interesting move, and again set the drama apart from others (though I seem to recall ‘If We Were a Season’ trying this, and in my opinion failing). Despite only being an hour long, the drama never felt predictable, and it certainly never felt cliched. 

What Wasn’t:

Feeling:

Tying into what made this drama feel special and different is also the reason I kind of didn’t like it as much as I'd hoped. While I enjoyed the show’s unique take on what could have been a very common and cheesy situation, I also found it perhaps a little depressing.

Ah alcohol- the poster boy for self medication

The social commentary about what can make a person feel special was definitely interesting, but it was also sad to see how horrible people felt when they didn’t have this sense of validation. When you tie in that it’s not just that this character hasn’t been liked for a long time, but that no one has confessed to her ever, it made the overall tone of the show a very lonely one. It was a success of the drama that I related to Ga Young, but having her left feeling so miserable then also left me feeling a bit miserable.

Just date him already

The show did save itself a little at the end there with the hint of a new (and real) romance for Ga Young, but I do wish that the show had perhaps taken it a little further to show that Ga Young was taking and using what she learned from her situation with Byung Sun, and confessing first.

Recommend?

If you’re a Song Ji Hyo fan it’s probably worth a watch, because she was really charming in this, but otherwise not really.

Basically a Song Ji Hyo special

General Thoughts:

I’m super into web-series right now. They are the perfect way to de-stress after a week at work. They’re fun and humorous, and usually lack the patch of angst that accompanies full length rom-coms.

Yup, no angst here

What I must say about this drama, is while I found it laugh-out-loud funny, I also thought it approached its humour in a sensitive way. Granted, there are people who will be offended by anything, but I personally thought that the show handled the gay misunderstandings in a way that was fun and not offensive.

I love hilarious misunderstandings- I love them a lot

No one reacted badly to the misunderstandings- they were always upset for a reason other than that they thought these two boys were gay. It was because they had walked in during an ‘intimate’ moment, or because the guy they liked wasn’t interested in them, etc. This prevented the show from seeming like it was presenting homosexuality as a bad thing. I appreciated the inclusion of an actual gay couple, and how the show maintained its middle ground. It wasn’t celebrating nor condemning homosexuality, it was simply showing it as it is- two people who like each other dating. Which I think is a pretty great accomplishment from a small, lighthearted show. Web-dramas usually use lesser known actors whose acting is still developing, so I was delighted to see Choi Woo Shik and Jang Ki Yong heading this one. I’ve loved Choi Woo Shik since seeing him in ‘Fool’s Love’, and think he’s brilliant at doing comedic with a dash of heart. Jang Ki Yong has been slowly growing on me for a while, and I actually think it was this little drama that has pushed him over from being an actor I’m aware of to an actor that I enjoy and would actively seek out his dramas.

You're both fabulous

Jang Hee Ryung was new to me, but I found her sweet and cute, and her character endearing. While I wouldn’t call the humour of the show sleek and witty, I wouldn’t call it crass either. It was almost satirical in a way.

♫ You are my destiny ♫

It went beyond simply using situations to create humour, and used lighting and sound to enhance the comedy. The show parodied common rom-com moments, and used the same moody lighting and emotional music when recreating those scenes which only made it funnier. It never felt like the show was mocking standard rom-com moments, but it had more of a teasing vibe where it showed that with the right camera angle, slow-mo and music, any scene can be construed as romantic. The humour wasn’t the only thing this show had going for it, though it was the most prominent. There was a little bit of plot sprinkled throughout each episode- just enough to separate the misunderstandings. The love-triangle was hinted at early on and developed more as the show progressed. This added an extra layer of comedy, as there’s something so funny about two guys liking the same girl while the girl thinks they like each other. It’s just a situation that is ripe with hilarious moments. Of course, the two boys actually started to become friends, which was cute to watch as well. 

Those feels when you think that your ex and your crush are dating

What Was Great:

The Boys Next Door:

Obviously the stars of this show were the two boys. Both the actors and the characters were excellent.

Pepero- bringing people together since 1983

The boys had enough character that they felt well thought-out and carefully created, rather than just making the actors do all the work. While, Choi Woo Shik and Jang Ki Yong did amazingly well at bringing the characters to life, it was clear that the characters themselves were well constructed- a perk of basing the drama off a manhwa I’m guessing. Either way, the two boys drove the show and made it something that was truly enjoyable to watch. Choi Woo Shik and Jang Ki Yong had great chemistry, and it felt like they (and the staff) really enjoyed working together and had a blast filming this fun little show. The acting felt relaxed, even though some of the scenes could have been potentially uncomfortable to shoot. It was obvious that both actors were really invested in making sure the audience had a good time watching the drama, and they did a great job at making the show fun, but not childish or ridiculous.

What Wasn’t:

Why So Short?:

I honestly could have watched this drama for many more episodes. While I question if there would have been enough story to stretch it out, I just had such a fun time that I was actually a bit bummed out when I made it to the last episode.

I really wanted this drama to keep on going

The episodes themselves were only about 5-10 minutes long, and I just felt like I wanted to watch so much more of this delightful drama. I kid you not, I could watch this for hours and hours. 

Recommend?

Yes, yes, yes. This is just the thing to watch on a lazy weekend afternoon when you’re in need of a bit of a lighthearted laugh. 

Season 2? Please?

2017 Dramas

Can you believe that 2018 is almost half gone already? I sure can’t- it seemed to just fly by. In regards to my K-Drama watching, I feel like I’ve watched significantly fewer dramas this year than I had at this point last year. Is it because I’m spending more time at work? Have the 2018 dramas just not been striking my fancy? Have I actually been *gasp* socialising?! Who knows. But the fact is that my K-Drama watching has unfortunately taken a bit of a dive, so let’s take a look at best dramas that came out of last year (ie- the year I watched an exuberant amount of K-Dramas). You can check out my Top 5 2015 Dramas here and 2016 Dramas here.

5: Because This Life is My First

This drama was an unexpected winner for a lot of people. It had an interesting and unique way of looking at life and love, and gave us two leads that were about as different from usual rom-com leads as you can get. A girl who isn’t desperately seeking love or a career? A guy who isn’t either the perfect male or a complete tsundere? Unheard of. Rather than showing the heart-pounding moments of falling in love, the show focused on the small and simple way the characters fell for each other and how they had to learn to accept and live with each others’ more complicated personality traits. The leading couple were complimented by two other unique and interesting couples who had complications of their own. The cast were all brilliant without a single weak link, and they truly made their characters endearing and easy to watch. While the ending of this drama did lose it a few points, it remains an interesting and utterly engaging show.

4: While You Were Sleeping

Well to start with- Lee Jong Suk, Jung Hae In, Lee Sang Yeob. On a more serious note, the plot for this drama was totally riveting. The heroine can see the future in her dreams and gets into one of the cutest love-triangles. Each new mystery was engaging and helped to further develop the main plot line. The show was very good at hitting very emotional beats without ever feeling like it was trying to make you weep. The acting was exceptional all round (except for poor Suzy who was a bit outclassed). The plot was generally pretty fast paced, and managed to sneak in a fair amount of comedy which prevented the drama from ever becoming too dark. As a result the show was meaty but fun, and very enjoyable.

3: The Lonely Shining Goblin

Not my favourite drama by a long shot, but it was bound to make a splash. It was Gong Yoo first drama since 2012 so people were obviously to tune in. The huge budget behind this drama definitely made it feel like more of a cinematic experience than most dramas, and it was so amazingly pretty to look at, with wonderful CGI. The main love line was sweet, though a little angst-filled for my taste, but the second leads absolutely dominated with charming characters, astounding actors, and a heartbreakingly bitter-sweet story. The fantasy element of the show was continued strongly throughout, and the world building that went into the story was detailed and interesting to uncover. 

2: Circle

I find it rare to come across K-Dramas where the mystery aspect is actually extremely intriguing and…well…mysterious. Something about the length of time that dramas run for somehow seems to make it hard for writers to hold onto their secrets for exactly the right amount of time. ‘Circle’ instantly grabbed me as it was so unpredictable and had a such a strong mystery at its core. Each episode unveiled something new, so it never felt like the plot was at a standstill, but the more we uncovered the more dangerous and confusing it seemed to become. Happily, the drama also managed to bring pretty much all of its lose ends together to form a satisfactory conclusion, and answered most of the questions the plot presented along the way. The acting in this drama was absolutely phenomenal, with Yeo Jin Goo giving what I think might be his most dynamic performance to date.

1: 7 Day Queen

I love dramas that can make me cry, mainly because there are so few that can. I often read comments of people saying that certain scenes made them sob and I’m left feeling completely confused as to why and how. ‘7 Day Queen’ made me weep. It was so beautiful and so sad, and was the true embodiment of a tragic love. No matter how hard the characters tried to make things work in their favour there were always too many obstacles in their way. And unlike most K-Dramas, these obstacles were actually extremely dangerous. Such as our hero getting hamstrung. The villain was an absolute standout as he was so twisted, but also extremely vulnerable. It was hard (in a good way) to watch him enter his downward spiral, and impossible to fathom a way for him to get out of it. The visuals were absolutely breathtaking, and the acting was all excellent- particularly from our broken King.

General Thoughts:

I’m glad I watched this after I knew that a Season 2 was confirmed, else I’m not sure I would have liked it as much. But knowing that there was another season on the way left me free to enjoy the characters and their interactions without having to worry too much about any sort of closure. 

It's not every day you come across a mystery-comedy

‘Mystery Queen’ is an interesting little show that really took a bit of a risk. Mystery-comedy isn’t a well-travelled genre, and it could have ended up a complete disaster. I am happy to announce that far from being a disaster, the show snagged a great niche and did a great job. The comedy was never overplayed, and I didn’t find the mystery aspect too dark- there was a nice balance of funny and creepy.

Sherlock and her Watson

The whole show was a bit tongue-in-cheek and I loved that about it- so many K-Dramas (including other comedies) take themselves waaaaay too seriously. I mean, the main characters’ names are basically Sherlock (Seol Ok) and Watson (Wan Seung)- and that’s totally my style of comedy. I adored that Seol Ok was a housewife who couldn’t cook, and the running joke that resulted from this tiny character trait was just hilarious. My only other experience with Choi Kang Hee has been ‘Protect the Boss’ (yikes) and I must say, she made me completely forget about that experience as she sucked me into her new character. She was the perfect fit for a pretty, nosey Ajumma. She wore a pretty shocking wardrobe throughout the series that paired with the bob haircut really sold the housewife vibe. However, stick a bit of makeup on her and put her in a nice dress and she really became quite cute- which made it believable that there just might (emphasis on the might) be two cute policemen crushing on her. Choi Kang Hee did an excellent job at making Seol Ok sweetly endearing rather than irritating, as the way her character was written did lean a tad to the annoying side.

Nothing if not persistent 

However, Choi Kang Hee’s bright-eyed innocence and love for those around her made Seol Ok into a lovely character. Admittedly, there were times Seol Ok was annoying (like her insistence that she saved herself after Wan Seung un-buried her), but beyond that her sneaky sleuthing was great fun. Kwon Sang Woo was a new face for me, and I really loved his take on Wan Seung. Rather than being the cool,

We all love  good man-child

arrogant detective who was great at his job, Kwon Sang Woo gave Wan Seung a slightly annoying vibe. Not annoying as in ‘gosh this character is so stupid I’m annoyed’, but more picky and in-your-face that it was clear he was annoying other characters (such as Seol Ok). A childish kind of annoying. Which was great, as it wasn’t really what I was expecting, and it made his character so much more approachable than if he’d been a classic don’t-mess-with-me cop. I’m currently also watching Lee Won Geun in ‘Jugglers’ (because it would be far too sensible to only watch one drama at a time) and he’s basically K-Dramaland’s new puppy. Which is fine as he makes a great puppy. The character of Joon Oh was pretty straight-forward and easy- he’s the likeable, easy-going cutie who brings the ajumma and detective together. All that’s really required to play the role is a cute smile. Which Lee Won Geun has down pat. That being said, I did appreciate the little bit of romantic tension that Lee Won Geun brought to the role, making it seem as though he might have an inkling of romantic interest in Seol Ok, but being completely oblivious to it. Shin Hyun Bin as the weird other love interest (but not really) for Wan Seung was okay, but the character was so poorly written I don’t think it would have mattered which actress played her. She was an uncomfortable character to have around, and I think the drama flowed much nicer when she wasn’t in it. 

Remind me again why you're even in this story?

I actually really liked the directing of the show, as it made each case seem like an adventure. In all actuality Seol Ok is just putting pieces of information together and telling us what happened,

The characters' chemistry was fab

but the way we were shown how Seol Ok put those pieces of information together was always interesting. The whole drama was filmed in quite a novel way- feeling much more like a crime book than a crime show. Where it really got its draw was that it made finding and interpreting the clues engaging, rather than simply having them be a means to catch the culprit. A lot of the time I find crime dramas a tad boring, as after a while I just want to get to the end and solve the case, but ‘Mystery Queen’ made the process of solving the case so much fun that I was happy for the show to take its time explaining and exploring each crime. The show earns another point for not having all its criminals be serial killers. Because there’s only so many ways you can make serial killers seem different from each other. Because each of the criminals and their motives were different, the smaller criminal plot lines kept my interest for much longer than usual. Except for maybe the last plot-line about the old ladies poisoning each other because no one really cared about that.

Worst case for sure

What Was Great:

Sherlock and Watson:

The highlight of this show is of course its two main leads. They were delightful characters on their own, but together they were completely charming. The frenemy relationship was easy to get behind, and it was simply enjoyable to watch how these two strangers became each other’s biggest supporters.

They're hilariously wonderful

Initially Seol Ok thought Won Seung was lazy and uncommitted to his job, and Won Seung thought Seol Ok was oblivious and interfering. The addictive quality in this drama was definitely watching the two start to rely on each other, and not just at work. Won Seung was invaluable to Seol Ok for showing her what love and family really meant. 

If Wan Seung doesn't like him, he's got to be a bad dude

Due to her husband’s family taking her in after her parents passed away, Seol Ok thought that was the biggest show of love and dedicated herself to this family. However, after a while it became clear that while Ho Cheol wasn’t exactly the evil husband we were expecting, he for sure wasn’t the husband that Seol Ok deserved, or the husband she thought he was. I always get a bit worried when shows have their leads married to someone else, but the writers did a great job at showing Seol Ok’s marriage break down without her feelings for another man being the primary cause. I appreciated that neither Seol Ok nor Wan Seung saw the other in a romantic light until it was clear that Seol Ok’s marriage wasn’t going to last. Yes, they were close and other characters (and us viewers) had suspicions that they had romantic feelings that they weren’t aware of, but there wasn't really a true hint of romance until after Seol Ok realised her husband was cheating on her. I liked that it was Wan Seung’s support and his friendship that led Seol Ok to believing she deserved to be treated better- because if this is how far a friend would go for her, shouldn't her family do at least that much?

Goodbye crappy husband, hello spunky detective

While it was sad to see the completely loving and trusting Seol Ok realise she wasn’t nearly as loved as she thought, it was a pivotal point in the story. Possibly my favourite moment in the show was Seol Ok standing up to her husband about his unwillingness to help her with her parents' case.

They really were the perfect team

The ‘You say don’t do it because it’s dangerous, but others say let’s do it together because it’s dangerous,’ line was superb, and in my mind is one of the best descriptions of unconditional support. Won Seung never made decisions for Seol Ok, and he never took away her autonomy. While he always poked fun at her and teased her, he stood up for her when it counted, and Seol Ok was able to rely on him during one of the hardest moments of her life. For me this was the peak of their relationship development, and showed just how far the two had come over the course of the drama. Rather than dismissing him as useless and trying to do everything herself, Seol Ok started to rely on Wan Seung and acknowledged his input during cases. And rather than Seol Ok being the one trailing after Wan Seung trying to be let in on the cases, it was Wan Seung who was following her around, begging her to help him catch the criminal. The two were a hilariously delightful combo, with just the right amount of romantic tension. 

The running joke of her falling for his bad-boy charms was one of my favourite things

Non-Episodic:

As the primary draw of this drama was the characters, I appreciated that we weren’t bombarded with a new case every hour. Rather than having a new crime and a new criminal to catch, the series as a whole had maybe four or five crimes that it explored slowly and in depth.

I almost forgot that you could have criminals in K-Dramas that weren't serial killers

This allowed our characters more time to interact with each other, and let them experience great character growth that you don’t always get when they’re so busy catching a new criminal every episode. Most of the crimes were so well thought through that spreading a case out over a couple of episodes didn’t slow the momentum at all.

I'm still not sure if I like Inspector Woo though...

The show still felt fast-paced and smart, as it really let the detective duo explore every scenario in as much depth as possible. Most of the crimes were actually introduced earlier before they got full attention, which gave the show a really smooth feel, rather than having it seem as though random crimes just kept popping up in this neighbourhood. The best example of this is the panty-thief case. This plot was introduced while we were focused on another crime, and I initially thought it would just be a funny side-story. However, when the young girl was murdered, it felt more personal than a random character dying, because we’d seen this girl around for a few episodes, and seen her interacting with our main characters. Not only did her murder then become the present crime to be solved, but was also used to further develop Wan Seung’s character through his guilt at not giving her concerns his proper attention, and his determination to catch her murderer. This case also linked into the next case about the duct-tape killer, and brought Woo Sang Ha into the spotlight. 

What Wasn’t:

Promise of Season 2:

While I’m super excited that there’s going to be a Season 2, and it’s one of the reasons I actually watched the first season (K-Dramas so rarely get second seasons that they have to be pretty good if they do), I did think that the show was relying too heavily on getting another season to finish its story.

You...you can't finish your drama on a cliffhanger! I mean you can but it's pretty sucky.

Generally speaking, I like my seasons to have a complete feel about them where a second season would be nice and might explain things in more detail, but the first season is still able to stand as a whole and complete story on its own. That’s not exactly what happened here. I suspect that it was due to the fact that the show was in talks of a Season 2 while this season was still airing,

But WHY did you try kill that girl?

but the BIG mystery (the one about Wan Seung’s first love and Seol Ok’s parents’ murder) did not come anywhere close to being solved. By the time the end of the show comes around, we are aware that there’s something bigger behind these crimes, and have a pretty good idea of who’s behind it, but the why is still a big ol’ question mark. And that made me pretty disappointed. Yeah, I get that there’s now a whole other season to explore this mystery- but what was the point of the first season then? Leaving it this way basically renders the whole first season into being set up and character introduction. Unfortunately the fact that ‘Mystery Queen’ now relies on a second season to finish telling its story means that my opinion of the first season can now be heavily influenced by how good (or not) the next season is. If the next season is brilliant then hooray we’ve got a great story and two excellent seasons of it! But if it isn’t then it means that the first season that I loved is now ruined, because the story wasn’t finished properly. If the first season was able to stand on its own then it wouldn’t matter if the next season wasn’t as good, because Season 1 would still be a great drama with a complete story. Second seasons are also pretty risky in that you’re never guaranteed the cast will sign on. As is the case here. Thankfully our leads Choi Kang Hee and Kwon Sang Woo will return as our detective duo.

How can this squad return without Joon Oh?

But Puppy Policeman Lee Won Geun and wannabe fiancé Shin Hyun Bin didn’t sign on for Season 2. Which is a bummer because I loved puppy’s relationships with our leads, and the lawyer seemed like she was stepping up to be a bigger player at the end of this season. At this point it’s not clear if the characters will be written out of the next season or if they’ll bring in new actors for them, but either way its a bit of a let down.

Recommend?

This is actually a hard one, because I would recommend it for the A+ banter and the absolutely awesome relationship that developed between our detective and our Ajumma- however, depending on how Season 2 goes, the actual big mystery may end up slightly disappointing. So…long story short, if you’re wanting fab characters definitely watch, if you’re wanting a fab mystery maybe wait until Season 2 is finished and see.

My new favourite odd-couple
