Whoever gave that mission to Taeyeon, chose wisely! This episode was both equally funny and heartfelt. The reflection moments were nice and you could tell how serious they get when they set their minds to something. I fully enjoyed this episode and looking forward to the full 8 members in the next one. Also, there's nothing better than Girls' Generation competition, it gets funny real quick. (Like the running man episodes.)

I enjoyed this episode, it's fun and relaxing. Not much happens in terms of variety but it's nice to see the 7 of them playing small games and talking as a group again. They always have had this ability to make it feel like all the members are included even the absent ones, or the quiet ones, which just is refreshing to see again.

I know this is a weird comparison, but it feels like the Great British Bake off in terms of competition. That everyone is routing for everyone in some form. It feels very different in some ways from other idol shows. More of a coming together to try and achieve their goal, doing the best that they individually can. From the looks of the next episode that might change, but for this one, it felt like that. This is the first Survival show that I'm watching as it airs, so it's an interesting to me in terms of how they direct it and show off. There didn't feel like any evil editing in terms of showcasing any of the contestants in a bad light. It felt very natural in that aspect. Though I disagree with the judges in terms of whom they thought should be in the top 9 for a few them and those who were considered to be, I thought they were being too generous in terms of "Vocal" ability.

I was mainly interested watching this show for Tiffany. I ended up actually liking how this survival show is going. It's different, and I liked how all the girls were separated into different groups before hand and didn't come under company names. I love how supportive everyone is of each other and the girls calling out in support is amazing to see. Even when the contestants don't do as well, they still support them whole heartily. I find it also very interesting seeing the different view points from a "JYP" trainee and a "SM" Trainee through Sunmi and Tiffany. They both kind of reflect what the companies stand for in terms of what they look for. Sunmi with her Aura and Tiffany with her technique and vocal ability. (Even though Tiffany is no longer at SM; Still SNSD) I truly do think that teaser was a very misleading into this episode, chalk it up to Mnet editing issues.

For me, I enjoyed watching it a lot more than I thought I would. I am coming into watching this series a little biased because I've watched survival shows before, but I was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere that this show has. One thing that I noticed as opposed from it's Korean counterparts, is the lack of camera motion, and it brought out a newer kind of show, that felt more authentic instead of staged. Talent wise, it's a different system from South Korea or even China, but it's also different style when you look it. I'm interested to see how they develop in the future.

Pretty Li Hui Zhen Episode 4
0 people found this review helpful
Zhu Ying is my hero in this episode. She reminds me of a stylish, older Li Hui Zhen, which I think was the point. A guiding character of our protagonist.
This episode you start to see the selfishness of the Xia Qiao, that makes you feel sorry for her in more than mad. I think the fact that she different from the korean version, is that you see a kinder side, more caring side to her than you had in the previous version. I think her pep talks to Hui Zhen are what keep her in the business, proving to her and to everyone that she can do this.

Pretty Li Hui Zhen Episode 3

In this episode we see how she has impacted his life and how it’s kept up to this day. I also think he’s being a little too hard for her breaking the rules, simply because it was her first offensive.
You also see in this episode Xia Qiao, start to gravitate towards Hao Yu in order to escape her own issues she dealing with.
Second Lead Syndrome is powerful in this drama.

Pretty Li Hui Zhen Episode 2

I think the strengths of the lead actress show in this episode. Particularly when she is on the other end of the phone, how his words hurt her are clear in the way her facial expressions change suddenly. She hangs on every word, and you can see that she has been in love with him this entire time.
The second meeting you can see how Xia Qiao is falling for him already. I don’t think Xia Qiao meant to in the beginning, I truly think she only wanted to help her best friend. I honestly think this mistaken Identity, though the girls played into it, is entirely Bai Hao Yu’s fault. Though they are at fault for also playing into it.
I also think the highlight between the friends is shown in this episode, with how excited Xia Qiao is for Huizhen. Getting the job. Also the scene where she is going to use her heel as a weapon is precious.
And of course he is her new boss, because that is how dramaland works.

This was a very good start to the drama and I think showed the actors strengths as a unit. Though I'm not a big fan of love triangles, I do sort of appreciate that they cut right to the chase instead of dragging it out until the 12th episode. I really liked this episode wasn't just about backstory like a lot of historical dramas are. I'm interested to see the dynamic that comes about from these three, they all have good chemistry.
Overall a good start.

I do have to admit. Knowing that they fell in love and got married because of this show makes their bickering a little funnier and cute. Almost like silent flirtation. I think the dynamic between the two characters is what this show needs to help it and not be completely serious all the time because I honestly don't think this show is one that can be and still be considered well done. The comic twist that the two bring help the show in my opinion not dismantle it.
I like how different this character is already from gu hye seon’s characters in the past. I have only ever seen her in boys over flowers but the two characters a polar opposites. Watching this a second I can appreciate the work that went into the character and she wasn't off putting this time around as I remember her being the first time.
This episode for me highlighted the main characters ego’s more. Both don't like to lose nor do they want the other to win. If they one up the other they are going to.
I’m interested to see in the next episode if he gets exposed or not. Probably not because it's episode 3 and it's a Kdrama. They don't do anything fast pace.

this episode is building suspense. Though in actually for me it just fails to deliver. The fact that they chose the worst possible way to go out of the two options is the most ridiculous and unbelievable part of this story because they are supposed to be with true seasoned explorers. The friend at this point is just getting on my nerves with every little over reaction. I found myself hoping he would fall into the water and get eaten by the corpse beetles.
This episode for me shows the importance of farcical control. If you let your expressions be too big and to unbelievable they are are just that. Not believable. For me, the biggest mystery I want to solve is who the hell is Shang Qi Lang!

in this episode we really learn the importance that An-na plays in this drama. Not only for her father but also for Choi yoo jin. The overall cat and mouse games hands are shown in this episode between the senator and his wife. I'm excited for the next episode when An-na is finally back in Korea so her storyline will be able to develop more and how she fits into the scheme of everything.
As for Je ha this episode we see a little bit more into his character background, some of his past that we haven't seen before.
Things that this episode in my opinion did well was so the backstory of Je Ha and give a depiction of PTSD that so far I haven't seen in many shows. Another things that they highlight is stringing the two characters An-na and Je Ha together with both when dreaming have nightmares. Compassion for each.
This episode for me also highlighted the background music and how important it is in series crime mysteries. When something was going to occur that was unexpected to a character it played the same chorus singing in dramatic fashion. With complex back stories and interesting drama happening now, it's a good way, in my opinion to keep the viewer interested and focused.

It's not getting any better. I had hoped it would, but in my opinion the acting in this is just terrible. Nothing is really believable and instead of it being cute or romantic, it's just awkward. Things that are supposed to be scary, isn’t. I can understand they struggled to find the budget to get actual wolf like dogs, and used huskies, but the huskies that they used were fluffy and cute, and short.
Obviously this is just my opinion, but you are enjoying feel free to ignore me. That is your own opinion as well.

Descendants of the Sun Episode 3
0 people found this review helpful
Dick move, but I loved it. It made me laugh.
I think this moment shows better the complexity between Kang Mo Yeon’s character. She plays a tough doctor, but on the inside she is also really scared of things outside of her field. The complexity of the female lead is something that I like about this character as to oppose to other female leads, so she not as two dimensional as most people think.
I’m sorry, I have to say it, but can they try and find better non-korean actors. It honestly sometimes just make me think they took the first person who signed up for the job. It takes me out of the show.
The complexity of the before story is what kind of makes this now plot more interesting. We are just catching a moment in the lives of the characters before they go on, but the detail of the before, is quite curious as well, and makes me want to watch an entire drama based on who each character got to the point where they are currently. This episode highlights this with the relationship between Dae Yeong and Yoon Myung Ju.
Overall it wasn’t a bad episode but the plot feels kind of slow until the end. Maybe because the first two episodes their relationship progressed so quickly. This episode feels important to set up the next part of the story as well as reveal needed background information.
