There's just one thing to be said about Saewa and Hong Hyesuk(Mrs Kim) - They deserve each other. They're literally cut from the same cloth.
It's obvious where the story is turning to now, and it's going to be another long journey of manipulations and deceptions before people are put in their rightful places(which i'm counting on), but it will be interesting i think.

There is plot movement since last 5-6 episodes, which I'm very happy about.
Saewa remains as antagonistic as ever, though it's balanced now with other events happening. The series is so reliant on her obsessive negativity.. she has as much screen space as Donghae, definitely more than Bongi. Her favorite words, which she emphatically utters every five minutes in the series - "Anthwe!!"

The drama is getting quite predictable and borderline annoying now.
Of course, it has to be stretched to 160 episodes, so secrets cannot be revealed just like that.. i get it, but I am so done with Saena and her nasty/plotting looks and manipulations, and the hit and miss scenes - would Anna and KJ just SEE each other already??!! They've been in the same plane, same house, same room and it's so cliched that of course, KJ would leave the drawer open and miss-dark-manipulativeness-personified would be the one to see the photo of Anna and KJ.
Really I don't know why the drag this, and I don't know why they make it so Saena just lives every moment from one deception after another. I think I need to see some forward movement in plot/character, if I have to keep seeing that annoying negativity.
This is why I stay away from long dramas generally, so I can skip the torture of waiting, but somehow I started this, it pulled me in and now I have to wait and watch.. :|

K-POP - The Ultimate Audition Episode 7
0 people found this review helpful
This episode is pretty good among many previous ones. But, I haven't "got" many things yet and it bugs me..
1.What exactly is 'Team Leader' Han's issue with M2 juniors? Why is she the underhanded bitch to them while at the same time trying to act cute with President Jang?
What does she stand to lose if Woo Hyun leaves or not anyway?..
It can't be about the company- President Jang and M2juniors are part of the company, and she's acting out against them both.
If it's about her career- isn't she already very much in demand?
There doesn't seem to be any strong enough reason to back up how she is acting. Makes no sense.
2.Ji Woo and Seung Yoon - strange. Seung Yoon acting like a guy makes all the hand holding even more wierd..(the other team members do acknowledge it as wierd, so that's some consolation there)
3.A company that manages a music band, and idol + 1(In Young) and another 8 junior singers is run by 3 people- a President, a Team Leader, and another secretary sort of guy. Is that feasible really?

Shut Up: Flower Boy Band Episode 3

Why Oh Why did they kill off Byung Hee? I am almost near the end of this episode and I myself can't accept that he's not coming back..I'm still kindof hoping somehow they figure out there was a mistake and he's still alive.. :p
Now I'll have to force myself to continue watching in the hope that I can maybe recover something from the remaining.

Why is the ending so inconclusive? After watching so long, what a dampener to finish it off with characters at loose ends and Iljimae right where he began. I mean, considering how his purpose/ quest is long over, why would he come back and start robbing again in the same getup? It makes no sense.
For a drama that was entertaining for most parts, the ending is like a hashed up job - as if they had no time or idea, and settled for something.

It's getting better now with each episode. This episode was interesting and fun.
Gyeom is molding himself into his chosen character. The other main characters too come together into the plot, and the main couple have their first real meeting together since that childhood evening.

The story picks up pace. Things finally start to heat up in this episode and at the end of it, we get to see Gyeom appear as Iljimae(in costume) for the first time.

The plot isn't moving much. Many characters have been introduced so far, but they are wandering in their own lines now.
I don't really get why after all these years, suddenly, Gyeom is being hunted for with such urgency?
One thing alone is VERY clear thus far- No need to fear for Gyeom/ Yong's life. He has amazing powers of sustaining life. He has been hit and abused severely and left for dead so many times till now, and survived it all like a charm.
Don't look for logic, it's all in his inner strength to survival.

Time goes along, the boys are growing up. More barbarism continues to happen in his life. You can see the base they are building up for the character of Iljimae to show up finally and justifiably.

This episode continues the story of childhood.
Every historical Korean drama I've watched makes me wonder at the brutality of the social structure they show. The evil characters are so many and 'evil', and the punishments/judgements are inhumane to the point of being absurd. Every next person is being killed, labelled a traitor and tortured to death and so on at somebody's whim or fancy. I can't help but think - If this is all true, it must have been torture to just live in those times.

Warrior Baek Dong Soo Episode 29
0 people found this review helpful
They should have ended the series with ep 28 instead of leaving us with such a dis-satifactory ending in ep 29. Basically, the only event happening in this episode is killing off Yeo Woon, followed by sudden focus on romances to give the "happily ever after" feel. And it just feels ridiculous, because the pain of Yeo Woon is still so fresh on our minds, How can the characters be so joyful and go on as if everything is perfect?
I had read beforehand that Yeo Woon will be killed off in the last episode, and though I wasn't the biggest Yeo Woon fan throughout, by the end of Ep 28 I was dreading it and I put off watching the last episode as much as I could. When I did watch it, I really don't know what to think.
Why would any one want to chop off a main lead character using other main characters in the very last bit of the drama? Why were so many misunderstandings placed NOW?
Here's what the last episode left me with:
-Feeling sorry and sad for Yeo Woon, for having to live such an unlucky and hard life, and being misunderstood on top of that.
-Angry at Cho Rip. Was there always such a selfish person under the timid face?
-Dissatisfied with Prince Heir. When did he become so revengeful?
-A bit irked at Dong Soo. After everything, does he still doubt Yeo Woon's intentions?
-And most importantly, What about ALL the talk about making your own destiny. Why does it not work for Yeo Woon alone??
To reiterate, I think - it was a very unnecessary killing of a character who had been developed thus far as strongly as Dong Soo.
Nothing that happens in the final episode is necessary or adds anything to the characters. If you wish to leave the drama on a positive note, better to leave it at ep 28.

Warrior Baek Dong Soo Episode 28

Probably the best and most satisfying episode of the drama so far..there is beauty and grandeur in the main fight sequence..the various major characters come together, especially, Dong Su and Yeo Woon become their closest ever as brothers, which is truly heart warming to watch.
But it ends on a disturbing note..
