New dramas:
Korea
Gumiho's revenge: I have watched the first episode of this and loved it. It is like a very scary and very dark fairy tale that explores the evilness of the human world using fantasy media. Both girls (Jang Hyun Sung and Kim Yoo Jung) are fantastic and I hope for some unconventional romance developments. I noticed that the ratings are rising , and I will not be surprised if this will end up to be an unexpected hit. Must post some screencaps!
King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo: reminded me heavily of "East of Eden", which is not necessarily a bad thing, but the whole premise goes like this: It is fine for a man to have an affair with a specific purpose to make an illegitimate child of male gender; who would blame him when his wife is only giving him girls? It is all fine because the MAN is GOOD and of course his child will become a great person. But it is NOT fine for a wife to have an affair and an illegitimate child. This automatically makes her evil, and makes her spawn an evil bakery hater.
Dramas I am actively watching :
Korea
Bad Guy - (ep.6, my ratings so far - 7/10) I love this and I can't wait for the subs
Dong Yi - (ep.30, my ratings so far - 7/10) We are now entering the period of Dong Yi becoming the King's concubine. I am becoming very reluctant to finish this.
Kim Soo Roo - (ep.11, my ratings so far - 6/10) A very good drama but the reliance of the whole nation on the Big Golden Egg prophesy is making me laugh.
Queen Seon Deok - (ep.42, my ratings so far - 8/10) I love this much more than I expected to.
Worlds Within (ep.6, my ratings so far - 7/10) I should marathon this tomorrow
Taiwan
Summer's desire - (ep.8, my ratings so far - 7/10) My huge obsession of this season
The Outsiders - (ep.16, my ratings so far - 8/10) Pure great
Why why love - (ep.10, my ratings so far - 6/10) Fluffy angstorama I am really enjoying in fast forward mode.
Japan
Gaiji Keisatsu - (ep.6, my ratings so far - 7/10) I am on the very last episode, but finding it hard to approach it. What if everyone dies???????????
Tsuki no Koibito - (ep.6, my ratings so far - 5/10) I am spoiled for the ending and it is the ending I want, so I must finish.
Dramas I am sort of watching , but need a move on:
Korea
Barefoot Youth (ep. 16, my ratings so far - 6/10) Such a good drama, but has bad subtitles.
IRIS (ep.8, my ratings so far - 7/10 )
Que Sera Sera (ep. 7, my ratings so far - 8/10) I must finish this one day
The Slingshot (Story of a man) (ep.10, my ratings so far - 8/10 I must finish this too!
