I have just watched ep 1 of Paradise Ranch and, shock of shocks, I really liked it!



Yeah, I know. I know. Changmin is still not my thing looks-wise (feed him, SM!) and I can't say he is an acting prodigy (though compared to his bandmate Yunho, he is better, but then anyone would be), not to mention I can't unsee those awful dude ranch promo pics but somehow I am weirdly charmed by the drama and its vibe.

I think because somehow it comes across as a Taiwanese drama which has mysteriously been cast with Koreans, down to the leads which are charming even if they can't act too well, deliciously warm weather (so nice during this nasty cold winter), the sweetly romantic vibe, and the inexplicable adorableness of it all. Twdramas are the only kind of dramas where I love the romcom genre.

So yes, I love my twdramas to bits and this feels like a twdrama so there it is...it's deliciously relaxing candy.

Is it objectively good? No, but I am enjoying it anyway and will be watching ep 2 for sure.

I thought Tamra would have been the shock of the century! XD

Nope - PR looked so bad it made Tamra promos OK (but I am not in love with PR, just enjoying it).

I am currently watching it too and while I'm not too far in, about 15 minutes, I'm surprised at myself for not turning it off yet.

It's shockingly pleasant.

From the last trailer, it looks like it would surprise you. Though I wasn't thrilled with the plot, I might give it a try.
I actually saw 2 episodes of Heading to the ground...and as much as like Yunho, I couldn't. lol Let's hope, this is better than HTTG.

HTTG - never was there a more apt title.

To be fair, not even a decent actor could have saved the mess that was HTTG's script -yikes.

Ohh. I was scared of venturing into the territory of this drama at first. But a semi-hopeful review from you gets me a little more interested in this one here.

It's not bad at all tbh.

I feel exactly the same couple mins in, this IS SOOOOOOO TWdrama. Plot, feel, acting, directing, EVERYTHING. I don't adore TWdrama as much as you do, yet I have a sinful craving for it once in a while, there's a warm cute charm to it you really would be cruel to beat it to death with over-criticizing it. Asking fine acting jobs here is like asking your puppy to be cute+cuddly and do your taxes.

Exactly. The whole thing has this harmless ditzy adorableness to it.

Heh, knowing my track record with cute TW dramas I don't think I'll be tuning in. :)

Yeah, it's very silly.

shock of shocks, I really liked it!
Have you not learned with your poking fun at MSOAN? lol (though I hope PR goes a better route) Anyway, watching it out of loyalty; we shall see if it sticks /crosses fingers

Heh. But MSOAN was awesome before it went insane. First ep of PR was dumb but passable and entertaining :)

The worst actor & actress..(goshhh)

Actually this drama got a simple plot.
It supposed to be a sweet romantic drama.
But it turn to be the worst drama because of the main actor & actress..
I don't even know where to start. The acting is so terrible.
Goshhh.. The main actor & actress should learn from the supporting role.. They are much much better thn them..
Just being honest
