How have you all been enjoying the bizarre February weather?
KOREAN:
~ Tomorrow With You
Empress: Y'know, I haven't been disappointed by a Shin Min Ah drama yet...and I wouldn't mind another Lee Je Hoon drama...I hadn't seen such a ridiculous description until now, which is too bad. I had heard time travel and romance and was looking forward to it. I still mean to watch at least the first 2 episodes to see what it's like. XD
Ambassador: Shin Min Ah is nowhere near enough to pull me into such a crazy sounding storyline... but if the Empress likes it, she'll drag me into watching it sooner or later.
Unni: *giggles* I'll probably wait for one of these two to convince me to watch it....or wait for Pinterest to give me screenshots.
~ Perfect Wife
Empress: This sounds possibly really depressing...I don't think I'm putting it on my list...XD
Ambassador: SUNG JOON would be the main reason I would check this out. I can't tell if this is supposed to be an ahjumma romance or not but either way, it's not likely to tempt me, not even for him.
Unni: *banging head madly into wall*
~ Romance Full of Life
Empress: LOL. At that point, dude, switch careers. XD I would say NOPE, but if it's ONLY 3 episodes...maybe... XD
Ambassador: 3 episodes and Yoon Shi Yoon. Probably at some point I'll pull it up.
Unni: Um..................this just sounds like kinda cute......some weekend maybe.
~ Super Family
Empress: .....I am underwhelmed. No thanks....
Ambassador: NO. It sounds like one of those long Monday melos and I generally dislike those.
Unni: No xie xie....
~ Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
Empress: I was like NO, YOU CAN'T JUST REMAKE WEIGHTLIFTING FAIRY AND HAVE ANOTHER SUPER STRONG GIRL but then I saw some cute promo pics and bother, I like all 3 of the leads, and it might be adorable. So I am not putting it past myself to watch it. XD
Ambassador: I like all three of the lead actors from other things but I didn't think that the synopsis was enough to tempt me. At first, anyway. THEN, I saw the part about her becoming his bodyguard and I cracked up and yes, I'll probably watch it, at some point.
Unni: *BOUNCES UP AND DOWN* I am on a strong woman streak....this sounds delicious! *waves hand madly*
~ My Only Love Song
Empress: Heh. Time travel is in again, huh? Nobody wants to stay in the present after 2016? Unless I hear something raving about it later, this isn't really enough to intrigue me.
Ambassador: There isn't much information about this yet but Lee Jong Hyun of CN Blue is in it and so is the villainous brother of Park Ki Woong from Bridal Mask. As long as my list is right now, I feel that if I added one more drama I'm not passionately interested in, it will be the straw that broke the camel's back, er, list. So no.
Unni: I'll probably wait for screen shots...it's a little interesting.
~ 109 Strange Things (webdrama)
Empress: I am curious. Which is more than be said for the previous dramas. And I've enjoyed the last few webdramas I've seen. I might go for this one. XD
Ambassador: Color me interested enough to check it out. It could be highly amusing.
Unni: This sounds iiiiiiiiiiiinteresting
CHINESE:
~ The Starry Night, The Starry Sea
Empress: Heh. Okay, that sounds a little different from the usual. I like that. I also like the title. However, magical Chinese dramas tend to not be things I watch. So...I kind of doubt I'll get to it....XD
Ambassador: YES, because it's William Feng and Bea Hayden and had enough internet buzz that I'm interested. (Also, I'd watch pretty much anything for William Feng Shaofeng, so there's that.)
Unni: I just watched the opening credit scene because you get a peek at the drama.....I am not sure...it seems jussssssssssssssssssssssst a little more on the too weird side for me, they are cute though.
~ The Glory of Tang Dynasty
Empress: Intriguing. If it was a Korean drama I think I'd be more likely to dive into it...it would depend on what else I heard about it.
Ambassador: Hmmmm, I don't know. I'm inclined to say yes- palace and harem dramas are my kryptonite- but, I'll have to wait and see what it looks like.
Unni: This sounds interesting, we'll see how it all goes down.
~ Love Just Come
Empress: aww...it sounds sweet...but somehow not something that catches my attention....
Ambassador: Good for her, but nope, not going on my list.
Unni: This sounds cute...the subject is interesting. I might look at it...we shall see.
~ The Legendary School: Three Lives, Three Worlds Tao Hua Yuan
Empress: *dies* This sounds kind of adorable...I tend to be wary of magical dramas...but depending how it was done this could be really fun. XD
Ambassador: Chinese urban fantasy is usually hilarious and fun and this looks like no exception. I'll be keeping an eye on it.
Unni: We'll see how busy I am.
~ Detective Samoyeds
Empress: HEE. I still want to watch Joseon X-files. But...between medic, ballistics enthusiast, and analytics expert...in the Tang Dynasty...XD I am very intrigued.
Ambassador: YES. The plot and characters sound like too much fun to stay away. (The title cracks me up though... does Samoyed mean something different in China? Because all I can think of is fluffy white dogs. Unless they're simply referring to the idiom 'like a dog with a bone' for the way they operate... but why choose Samoyeds?)
Unni: Subject matter interesting, everything else...no thank you.
~ Till Death Tear Us Apart
Empress: I like the title a little bit...but the rest doesn't grab me...
Ambassador: I don't thiiiiink so. Just doesn't pique my interest.
Unni: Not up my ally of interest.
~ Long For You
Empress: .....aliens, immortals, reincarnation...somehow I'm not terribly intrigued....
Ambassador: Finally the cdrama adaptation of You Who Came From the Stars. Noooope, not interested.
Unni: Also a pass here. I couldn't get into the K one how could I get into the C one?
~ Full Love
Empress: Poor kids...this all sounds depressing...naw...
Ambassador: Ooh, Hawick Lau and Alina Zhang Meng make it tempting, but the plot removes that temptation. Probably not watching.
Unni: *tip toes around drama* I'll pass.
~ Qin Empire Jue Qi
Empress: Third installment. Because one 30 episode show was not enough...XD When I have endless time I will watch them all in proper order.
Ambassador: I'm putting this on my list of dramas to watch when researching particular historical eras.
Unni: I'll let these two fill me in on these unless I become fascinated with Chinese history
A January cdrama I missed:
~ The Legend of the Condor Heroes
Empress: That sounds possibly interesting...but when there are others in the series that I haven't seen yet...
Ambassador: The
latest in the Condor Heroes franchise. I started the one from 2008 and
loved the chemistry in that one, but I'm not so sure I'll try this one.
Unni: I started watching one of the Condor Heroes once upon a time... I found it a little weird....so no.
TAIWANESE:
~ Art in Love
Empress: no....XD
Ambassador: George Hu isn't enough for me to watch this one.
Unni: This sounds like one of the less interesting Taiwanese dramas
HONG KONG:
~ Romance for 7 Days
Empress: heh. This is not the Hong Kong drama that will draw me away from my massive list.
Ambassador: Naah, not enough to interest me.
Unni: No thank you!
~ Tiger Mom Blues
Empress: okay, while "tiger mom" makes me laugh, the rest of this makes me cringe...
Ambassador: Lordy NO. The title is cool but I don't usually like family dramas.
Unni: Not really interested, there are far more interesting things in life.
Which of these dramas will YOU be watching?
