In the year for stories based on doppelgängers, the first two episodes were solid. Love and War has the potential to be a decent historical romance and I hope they stay away from the usual tropes. The acting is good and I think we will see some interesting twists and turns.
A terrific start in my view. Gentle comedic elements interwoven with tongue in cheek commentary on the political divide, the promise of romantic interludes and ambitious sister-in-laws who are smarter than their husbands :)
Triad Princess is worth a watch. I found it a good mix of funny, sadness and the decisions we make in life. However, it could have been so much more. Xu Yi Hang as a character didn’t quite work for, but our Triad Princess was awesome (she is good in other shows too). There has to be a second series, and I look forward to that.
An idyllic ending to what I thought was a much better story overall than CoS1 although there were those usual kdrama elements popping up during the last few episodes.
What a fabulous performance by KGS as the Minister for Justice. He really wanted to crush JTJ using all the political means at his disposal and not through the Chairman’s more crude methods. He really believed he had the better political prowess. He just forgot about how the mouse (the Driver) when it roars can turn the world upside down.
As for our main couple, I liked how they rebuilt their relationship over a long period of time in a very considered way. A couple for the ages!
Then we have the wide eyed boy wonder and YHW - finally a bit of traction :)
The best thing about this show is Jang Tae Joons(Lee Jung Jae) ass. Sorry, but true. Hey daddy.The show is interesting…
All I will say is I have been in the political arena for over 30 years and I have enjoyed every moment of CoS2, even if there might be one or two little questionable moments :)
