dangermousieI've been reading about Big's ending and LOL. LOL. I am so glad I dumped this at ep 8 (and only sorry I held on s long as I did). The ragey comments at dramabeans are super-entertaining.
I've loved my share of bad dramas but this wasn't even 'bad but entertaining in its badness' (a la Dr Jin) or 'bad but hitting my shippy kinks and caring' a la Myung Wol. I adored the latter and was very entertained by the former but Big was just one big, slogging, dull mess. Still, I expected a better ending than that. Oh, Hong Sisters! I used to love you so...

Date: 2012-07-25 12:12 pm (UTC)Nothing they have written these past few years can compare to their earliest dramas. Chun-Hyang, My Girl, Hong Gil Dong (I had my problems with that one but no doubt it was far superior than most of the new ones)
Fantasy Couple, never watched it nor am I planning to. You're Beautiful, despite being cute, had major flaws. MGIAG was also cute, even angsty at points, I liked it but didn't love it.
And let's not even begin on Best Love. WTF was that.
Big seems to be the final nail in the coffin..

Also, I didn't even finish the first episode of Dr. Jin. Half of my brain cells died in those minutes. But sometimes I skim through Dramabeans' recaps and it's so freakin hilarious I almost can't believe it's real.

Date: 2012-07-25 12:30 pm (UTC)I'm currently watching:
- I Need Romance 2
- Rich Man, Poor Woman
- A Gentleman's Dignity
- Iki mo Dekinai Natsu (age gap romance... but the romance hasn't started yet)
- Beloved (aka: Dear You). About a happily married couple who's relationship is tested by old flames and homewreckers. It's kind of repetitive, not much plot.
- Hatsukoi - A married woman in her 30s with pancreatic cancer runs into her first great love... who just so happens to be the only doctor that can save her. A very quiet and emotional Jdrama. I like it very much, though some people might find it boring.
- Mou Ichido Kimi ni Propose - Only watched the first episode. It's too slow to watch weekly, so I'll marathon it once it's over.

Le sigh.

Date: 2012-07-25 02:21 pm (UTC)The drama I Do I Do, which I thought wasn't so interesting in the beginning, ended up being a good surprise. I loved it! Specially because the leading guy stopped being childish-ly stupid.. I mean, character growth! Stories that could happen to someone you know! The second leads aren't evil!
I'm also watching Bridal Mask (lurve!) and Rich Man Poor Woman (love at 1st sight! How I missed a good jdrama)...
Now waiting patiently for the olympics to end so I can watch Faith and To The Beautiful You (worth a try with this one, at least.. I love the manga, hated the jdrama, so I want to see if korea does it right)

Date: 2012-07-25 02:36 pm (UTC)On a totally different note, you need to watch episode 17 of Bridal Mask. Every week I think they couldn't have ended on a worse cliffhanger and the following week I'm proven wrong. I'm both extremely satisfied at the way it ended and tearing my hair out that we have to wait one week for the next episode. You will LOVE the ending and what it promises us for next week (hint: one of your favorite drama kinks).
