Looking back on 2012

[blobofcolour]

My first thought when getting ready to write this post was 'meh, what a lackluster drama year' and it certainly feels so with me stuck in this drama slump with no apparent end in sight. However when I skimmed through my lj entries as well as my written journal, I realised that while dramas didn't consistently deliver through 2012, there were quite

Looking forward to your lakorn post. But you didn't watch any Korean dramas this year? I think this year I watched more kdramas then anything else.

I'm interested in watching quite a few dramas from your list, like Inborn Pair which was finally completed at viki. And I've been looking for some good jdramas to watch, but nothing compared to last years Keizoku 2:SPEC. I watched the first one this year, Keizoku, and loved it, but the special episode and movie really sucked.

I thought Keizoku 2:SPEC the movie just really strained my incredulity by the revelation of Sebumi's spec power. It made sense, but it made everything seem so cartoonish. And it seems from the movie like they were setting it up for more sequels, dramas, something to follow?

Is there any dramas you're looking forward to next year? I want to see Ann and Tik's lakorn and looking for some Song Jong-ki action once again.

I watched 5,6 episodes of 'Faith', followed the rest in recaps and also caught 1 ep of 'Aarang' and that was the extend of my Kdrama watching this year. I feel that I'm getting increasingly disconnected from Kdramas and however much well shot, well acted or well written (to others) they are, I can't seem to care for the characters.

'Inborn Pair' got too tedious for me by the last quarter but it's a light, easy way to spend some free time. I agree that the SPEC movie was a bit of an overkill but I was just happy to see Toma and Sebumi on screen again and yes, I'll bet a dollar that some form of sequel is in the works.

I'll be checking out Rome/Chompoo's 'Khun Samee' as the subs come but otherwise I don't have anything in mind. D:

Looks like we were right. More SPEC on the way! http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/4533252.html#comments
