There used to be a time when I had summer shows. Lots of summer shows. Here are the summer shows/summer episodes I haven't even started:
- Burn Notice
- The Closer
- Covert Affairs (thought I'd try it)
- Eureka (never even saw the season 3 finale, actually)
- Leverage
- Lie to Me
- White Collar
Shows I'm behind on:
- Drop Dead Diva
- Top Chef
- True Blood
I am up to speed on NOTHING. Go team me!
Haven't even been getting all that much Kdrama watching done. I finished my Goong rewatch, which was much better this time around, what without all that sloooooow taaaalking by grandma. And those "I don't care about this" subplots that inexplicably appeared towards the end.
I did finish Soulmate last night!
My absolute favorite thing about this show was the soundtrack. And it makes you realize just how much other shows lose out on by all playing that Same. Damn. Song. (If you've seen a Kdrama in the last five years, you know the one I'm talking about, right?) I mean, are there no other songs in Korea that everyone needs to use that one? Actually, this show just proved to me that there are, so THANK YOU FOR THAT.
But there was a lot of other things to like about the show. Like the fact that the soulmated 'ship in question were about as far from soulmatey as could be. I liked having cynical(-ish) and world-weary(-ish) characters to watch. And you could just tell right away that they would work really well together.
The secondary characters were a little too cartoonish, but likable and fun.
LOVED that the ending was open-ended.
What I didn't like was how long and drawn out the other relationships on the show were. Fine, I get that you don't want Your Couple to get together until the end, but for crying out loud, let them be alone for a while instead! When you can't even tell your girlfriend that you think the clothes she picked out for you suck, when there isn't even that basic honesty, why in hell would you ever think that marrying her would be a good idea? That scene was when I lost patience with that couple, and then it just went on and on and on and on...
Before I started on Soulmate I did watch the first four (five?) episode of Prosecutor Princess, but I don't know. It's not that I dislike it, but there's nothing that's drawing me in, either.
I'll probably go back to Boys Over Flowers next, though. (Mostly because I've been saving Capital Scandal for after and I REALLY want to see that one.) Epic fail, here I come!
