Nine: Nine Times Time Travel Episode 1
13 people found this review helpful
Most of the time-travel dramas thus far had to do with someone from the past going extremely far into the future or vice-versa for most of the series. This one features a man taking multiple trips which is definitely a fresh take on the theme. I liked the first episode and that the main couple is already established(a kiss scene in the first 5 minutes in a Kdrama-yes please).

This was mostly a setup episode but I still enjoyed it. I really loved the use of animation as a storytelling device in the beginning and end of the episode. I also liked the use of magic and fantasy elements which sets it apart from other time-travel dramas. I didn't dislike any of the characters or actors and I enjoyed the fight scenes. Only time will tell if the characters have chemistry and the plot stays interesting.

Surplus Princess Episode 1

Mermaids and kdrama? Count me in. I really enjoyed the first episode, it was well paced and quite funny. I loved the various pop culture references, especially the nods to the Disney film. Ha Ni is a fun character and I found her to be very similar to Mi Ho from My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, she is energetic and fully embraces her desires.

Overall it was a decent episode that made me want to watch more but it was far from perfect. What the heck was up with Lee Min Ho's English? He's lived in America for years but his English needed subtitles. And what was with the American actors? Having horrible white actors in Korea is understandable but not when you're actually filming in America.

Itazura na Kiss: Love in Tokyo Episode 1

I enjoyed the first episode and it seems as though they are using a mixture of elements from both the Taiwanese and Korean versions. The female lead is cute and thankfully doesn't come across as annoying.

Arang and the Magistrate Episode 20

I was very happy with this episode-every plot point was tied up nicely which can't be said of the finales of most dramas. I was extremely satisfied with the ending and the paths that each of the characters took.

It was a good first episode and thankfully not identical to the first installment. There are familiar elements-fangirling (basketball instead of kpop), the mother making extremely large quantities of food, mystery husband and physically abusive female lead.

The first episode reveals a bit of the mother's history, the meeting of the parents and the main villain. Although I liked this episode it was a bit sad. I'm assuming the latter episodes will be lighter and more comedic.

Panda and Hedgehog Episode 6
1 people found this review helpful
Did the writers forget which drama they were writing for or what? Panda wasn't the most amazing character up until this episode but she was likeable. This episode was an epic failure because it completely changed Panda's character for no apparent reason. She becomes an extremely selfish, annoying, weak and stupid character as soon as she and Hedgehog go on a few practice dates to get inspiration for a new assignment. Realistically, any feelings that Hedgehog might have had for her would have immediately disintegrated after witnessing Panda's strange personality change. One can only hope that this "new" Panda only exists in this episode.

This episode was filled with really sweet moments as well as extremely heart-breaking ones. Wol Ryung is basically perfection but the sight of his true form shocks Seo Hwa so badly that she ends up making a lot of bad decisions. They both felt betrayed by one another but his betrayal was out of love and hers was out of hate. I don't think Wol Ryung is dead and I believe we may see them both again.
