I bailed after ep 12 of MSOAN but I did read recaps and liveblogs of it through to the end. Oh my, the writer must have had some really really good drugs. It's a pity because it had a lovely cast and the first half had a delicious, quirky, off-beat vibe. I really do wish they stuck with the first writer, despite her flaws ( Read more... )

What I got from this was ...you didn't like Painter of the Wind?
And, well, maybe Cinderella Unnie wasn't entirely MGY's fault. It was so good the first couple of weeks, and considering those dramas are made week to week, maybe she didn't know how boring it would become.

This is the first drama that CU writer did that I did not utterly love (mmmm Piano and Robbers). I have no idea what went on.

POTW is just very much not my thing

hmmm I have to agree about Mary. I had such hopes for it too, but they kinda died. I haven't finished it - but I probably should. For me it was mostly the draggyness of the plot. It seemed like each week I was watching the same episode being repeated in slightly different ways.

Speaking of people you don't trust to pick good shows - who would be the actors that you do trust?
I'm on a Bae Doo Na watch at the moment. So far I've seen Country Princess and Linda Linda Linda and I'm in the middle of God of Study right now. They all seem pretty good depending on your style - could also just be that I find Bae Doo Na funny and love to watch her act. I've mostly liked Lee Da Hae's choices as well. Also Hyun Bin...

Bae Doona - yes. Hyun Bin - loved every drama of his except KSS. Sung Yuri. Kang Ji Hwan. Lee Da Hae.

nycteris_m January 5 2011, 02:35:41 UTC

yeah, I have to say I didn't really like KSS. It was recommended to me by a friend so I slogged all the way to the end. I don't have the heart to tell her I didn't really like it.

So do you know if The Snow Queen is good? I noticed it has both Hyun Bin and Sung Yuri. And how bout Hong Gil Dong -with both Sung Yuri and Kang Ji Hwan?

Both SQ and HGD are huge faves of mine (be warned - SQ is pretty heartbreaking). I love them to bits!

The 24 hours waiting period between episode 15 and 16 were perhaps the most anxious I've ever been for a drama ever. I was actually even consider not watching it at all because by 15 even I didn't think I could stand the shit anymore. And this coming from someone who loves all three the Gokusen series' despite questionable acting chops by some of the leads and the fact that the whole series feels like a 30 chapter fanfiction written on one prompt.

But I can take comfort in knowing that despite my fears Maeri did not end up with Jung In (by the end I that was really the only thing left to care about) and I got my Mugyul/Jung In moment and while the three parents unfortunately did not die, they were sent to the OVER THERE of dramaland and were promptly never seen again.

I take back what I said about the Gokusen series. Despite the recycled plot for the two sequels (first series not implied because it is awesome) at least it seemed to be going somewhere. What even it had over Mary was consistency and a point (and season three has Miura Haruma to rival JGS in pretty).

dangermousie January 5 2011, 01:17:25 UTC

Yes - at least the parents left
