I really want to write a proper post about Yakou Kanransha aka Ferris Wheel at Night but I don't have time. Let us just say it was thought provoking. I haven't seen quite this complex characters in a while and spent most episodes not quite sure what I felt about each of them. At times I wanted to smack someone and the next minute I felt really

YAY!

Aw! You found a drama that you just might like?? :D That's awesome!! Considering how disenchanting you've been finding most dramas, this is definitely a cause for celebration! ^^

And bummer about You From Another Star.. I'll be checking that one out very soon, and I'm really hoping it'll be good, coz I do like Kim Soo Hyun. *crosses fingers*

PMAI was surprisingly good. It's breezy and fun with some quiet and contemplative thrown it as well. Lee Bom Soo is one hot ahjussi indeed and I like Yoona in this. :)

Well, I'm not a big fan of Kim Soo Hyun (he's way overrated as an actor imho) but that wouldn't be a problem if I found the drama otherwise interesting. Which I did not. Most people seem to have really loved YFAT right off the bat though so you might too. Oh well, romcoms (and romatic dramas to some degree too) are hit and miss for me anyways.

I've been reading recaps for both "PM&I" and "You from..." and the former is full of adorable squee. I like that sort of breezy but heart warming kind of drama as long as the acting doesn't mar that and it looks like everyone is doing well in it.

I like Kim Soo Hyun a lot cause I'm shallow and like his face. hur. But also cause the guy just seem so sweet so I was looking forward to his comeback and was quite excited to see him teaming up with My Sassy Girl cause they had quite a sizzle in "Thieves" (a let down of a movie for me but I like their pairing). I can't get over the plot that much though with the alien/time traveling/ reincarnation thing going on. "Fated to love" or "first/childhood love" are tropes I dislike cause and this drama seem to be veering into that territory =/

Yes, PM&I has been breezy and fun but looks like the usual manufactured angst will hit soon. That's just lazy writing and a convenient way to add some unnecessary strife. If conflict is needed they should put some effort into making it beleavable.

Oh, KSH's looks do nothing to me but then, I'm the odd one when it comes to men, remember. ;P He's probably a sweet kid but somehow it irks me how the hype is claming him to be a way better actor than he really is. A lot like it's with, say LMH or YSH. Thye are all promising but not nearly 'there' yet. Besides, e.g. Yeo Jin Goo can already act rings around these guys.

I've never been able to understand Korean penchant for 'first loves' or 'fate'. They are both tropes I've begun to really detest myself.
