2016 has been a great year for dramas so far and September continues that by bringing us a new Ji Chang Wook role.
Korean:
~ Drinking Solo
Empress: If anybody could make drinking alcohol alone interesting, it'd be Korea, but good grief. I can think of a lot of things that would require a lot less work to make interesting.
Ambassador: Naaaah, sounds boring.
Unni: Honestly, not really interested.
~ Fantastic
Empress: It doesn't grab my attention, and there's a lot of other dramas that are doing that, so...
Ambassador: Could be interesting, and Ji Soo is in it but I doubt I'll make time for it. Way too many other things on my plate.
Unni: I am not sure if I am ready to sign up for this, It sounds interesting but, death and love isn’t really something I am interested in watching right now.
~ Shopping King Louie
Empress: The fact that Seo In Guk is in it tempts me. (He was unbelievably charming in Task Force 38, which I still need to review.) Other than that, though, there's not much about this to interest me. Then again, once C4K and MDBC have completely converted me into a lover of rom-coms, who knows what I'll watch. XD
Ambassador: Normally I'd not touch this one but I miiiiight consider it because Seo In Guk is hilarious.
Unni: This sounds really cute! I just might end up going for this one.
~ On the Way to the Airport
Empress: Melodrama no, relationship exploration and attempting to answer that question yes...Liar Game reunion with those two leads YES. I want to see how they interact when not geniuses battling on a game show...XD
Ambassador: Despite the bizarre sounding title I'm absolutely watching this because the two male leads are the male leads from Liar Game, my top favorite kdrama ever, and the premise is intriguing.
Unni: I’ll probably wait to see screen shots of this before I invest...but it’s on the maybe list.
~ The K2
Empress: It's all in how it's done, but adventure dramas are usually my thing, and Ji Chang Wook means I'm definitely watching it.
Ambassador: Since the casting news first broke for this, I've eagerly been following its progress. It's Ji Chang Wook, one of my top ten favorite actors ever. There is no question about it, I will most definitely be watching it. I'm actually going to watch it with my mom and sister as it airs. Previously, my mother and I watched Healer together as it aired. This will be my sister's first time watching a JCW currently airing drama.
Unni: You can sign me up! This one just sounds really good! And the fact that JCW is in it...certainly doesn’t hurt at all.
China:
~ Love is More Than a Word
Empress: ...if I wanted to watch a magistrate I'd watch Arang and the Magistrate. XD
Ambassador: Either the synopsis writer needs a lot of help or this drama would bore me to tears.
Unni: *bangs head into wall* No...please...stop.
~ Love 020
Empress: ......Adapted from a novel tends to make me more interested, and guild wars and gaming experts sound somewhat intriguing, but...wow. This synopsis is SO DRAMATIC!!! I just can't take it seriously. I'm really not seeing it in my future. XD
Ambassador: I'm laughing so hard at this synopsis. It sounds cheesy and corny. I'm tempted to check it out because Yang Yang and Zheng Shuang are both great actors who's work I enjoy but I doubt I'll ever make time for it. EDIT: this drama is proving so popular that I'm now curious enough to try it.
Unni: This sounds cute! But with the amount of dramas on my plate and to be honest my major interest is in Korean and Taiwanese, Chinese dramas tend to hurt my ears I have no idea why...just do.
~ My Little Princess
Empress: *grits teeth* Okay, if just a summary puts me on edge, I wouldn't make it through a full drama.
Ambassador: Noooope. Too many misunderstandings and typical rom com craziness to make me watch it.
Unni: UFDA!!! I think I got dizzy from just reading that one!
Hong Kong:
~ Brother's Keeper II
Empress: If it ended with a question other than "How will they handle it?"...I'm just not really biting.
Ambassador: I like Edwin Siu but the plot for this one isn't enough to make me watch it.
Unni: Interesting, but I have dramas I’d rather watch or rewatch, so I’ll skip!
Which September dramas are on your TBW list?

September has an interesting line up of shows. I'm so pumped for The K2! Most of the others I'm not interested in, though I might check out Shopping King Louie because it looks kinda cutesy and Seo In Guk. I'm not really sure how I feel about On The Way To The Airport after watching the teaser. It just seems like a slow melo, not sure I want to watch that even though having the male leads from Liar Game in the same show makes me super excited. I'll probably just check out recaps and see if it gets interesting.
