[Drama Review #39] - Crime Squad 강력반 強力班

For my thirty-ninth drama, I picked out Crime Squad 강력반. Crime Squad reunites the main leads, Song Il Gook and Song Ji Hyo, who previously co-starred in another series. As with a number of drama series I chose to watch, I selected Crime Squad because I wanted to watch an actress I liked who was on Running Man. In this case, I wanted to watch Song Ji Hyo. I first saw her star in Goong, which is about five years before she filmed Crime Squad. Crime Squad is also my first Korean police drama. The only police dramas I've seen were scenes from Hong Kong police dramas that I saw growing up as a kid.

[Drama Review #38] - Nice Guy 착한남자 善良的男人

Nice Guy 착한남자 is the thirty-eighth drama I've finished. This drama is also known by its full name, No Such Thing As Nice Guys 세상 어디에도 없는 차칸남자. Nice Guy brings together Song Joong Ki and Lee Kwang Soo who were on the main cast of the popular variety show, Running Man. Both actors built up a very good friendship on the show. As a result, many fans and I were looking forward to seeing their acting chemistry in a drama series. Nice Guy also stars Park Si Yeon, who I previously seen in My Girl. Nice Guy's main female lead is Moon Chae Won. Although I had not seen any of Moon Chae Won's previous works, I was eager to see her talent as an actress.

[Drama Review #37] - Reply 1997 응답하라 1997 回答 1997

Reply 1997 응답하라 1997 is one of the hottest dramas this year and also my thirty-seventh drama. This drama marks the acting debut for Jung Eun Ji, who is a member of idol girl group A Pink. Reply 1997's male lead is Seo In Guk, who played a role in Love Rain. The drama also features Infinite's Hoya and old school boy band Sechs Kies's Eun Ji Won. Reply 1997 includes numerous cameos from other entertainment celebrities. The number is actually quite astounding. It reminds me of the time I watched High Kick Through the Roof. Like High Kick Through the Roof, Reply 1997 is arguably more similar to a situational comedy than to a typical drama. Instead of a standard laugh track, Reply 1997 uses a hilarious sheep noise for noting awkward moments. It might seem weird at first, but it becomes very amusing running gag. This drama was recommended to me by a friend and has become one of my all-time favorite dramas.

[Last Chance] - Episode 13 제13회 第十三集

Joonhyuk and Eunjoo made eye contact with Jungmin.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Jungmin walked up to them and turned to Eunjoo, "I've been trying to call you. Where have you been?"

Joonhyuk cut in, "Hey, it's getting late. Eunjoo, head inside."

Eunjoo looked at them both cautiously. Feeling the tension, she made a quick bow to Jungmin and walked inside, leaving both guys to talk.

Jungmin turned to Joonhyuk, "Eunjoo's still my girl. You should back off."

"That's not what I heard."

"Well, I'm not giving up on her. Not to you, not to anyone." Jungmin walked past Joonhyuk, pushing him aside.

As Joonhyuk watched Jungmin walk away, he thought "I'm not going to give up that easily either. Not without a fight."

[Drama Review #36] - The Moon That Embraces the Sun 해를 품은 달 月亮懷抱太陽

For my thirty-sixth drama and first historical Korean drama, I chose The Moon That Embraces the Sun 해를 품은 달. I caught interest in this drama when I learned Kim Soo Hyun would take the main lead in The Moon That Embraces the Sun after his success in Dream High. Han Ga In's guest appearance on Running Man was another main factor for wanting to watch this drama. Jin Ji Hee, who played Hyeri from High Kick Through the Roof, take the role of the young princess in this drama. All of the actors and actresses are phenomenal in their roles. Although most of the cast is new to me, it doesn't take away from how much I enjoyed this drama.
