Joseon Gunman first two episodes

Oh man, with so many new dramas that I want to see premiering I might have to drop one of my old ones so I'm not overwhelmed. Doctor Stranger, you better shape up or I'm dropping you like a ton of bricks.

So Dramafever was having some issues when I was taking screenshots so I could only get screenshots of the first episode, and only a some bit of it but enough for some pictures of important characters. Sorry about that. Half way point will have better/more screenshots. I promise.

I've heard that this drama is very much like The Princess' Man and if be the end of this drama people are still saying that then I will have to look into that drama. I like Saeguks. Sometimes. Joseon Gunman is listed as a Melodrama which would be a strike against it but I love Lee Joon Ki. This drama is also being compared to Iljimae which I haven't seen but I watched the Return of Iljimae and I liked that. So revenge plot, melodrama, Lee Joon Ki begin awesome. I'll look past the Melodrama title for now and focus on what could be a great drama. Already I am loving the main paring together. I love how cheeky Park Yoon Kang(Lee Joon Ki) is and how much he's enjoying teasing Soo In(nam Sang Mi) but I can't wait till the tables get turned and it's Soo In's turn to tease him and make him endlessly jealous. That will be so much fun!!!

But let's just talk about the character of Park Yoon Kang for a moment. yes he kind of acts like a flirt, and he likes to go out with his buddies. He also enjoys showing off and he wants to do things his way. Those things aside. He stepped in front of Soo In so he would take a bullet for her. That is very gentlemanlike. He doesn't really know her but he knows that she finds him a slight burden and he'd have to be dumb to not know she's annoyed by him.  But he goes right ahead and not only run into the forest with her, to protect her from getting caught wearing men's clothing, but he also steps into the direct path of a gun so she won't get hurt. He's a good guy. Cheeky, but a good guy.

Okay, Lee Joon Ki. I am huge fan of him because of how diverse he is. He can play the stiff magistrate(Arang and the Magistrate), or the driven father(Two Weeks). or the cheeky swordsman's son with an adorable crush on a cross dressing girl(Joseon Gunman). While I love the role Joon Ki is currently playing I am super excited for him to turn dark for revenge. He will loose his father, and while they have a strained relationship you can tell the two really love each other, he will loose his sister who absolutely adores him. I want to see him take the words that have been used so many times so far, "A sword cannot compete with a weapon(gun) like that", throw his broken sword away, and run with that gun.

Now I was a little worried about Nam Sang Mi was cast as a lead because, though I've never watched anything with her in it, I've heard that all the roles she plays are sad moping characters. I was a little surprised how much I liked her and I'm praying that he character stays this way and doesn't turn depressing.

Now we haven't met all the characters yet as we have no second male lead but I really like this drama so far. Drama, please don't let me down! I can see you going so far! Don't hide from Joon Ki who the villain is till twelve episodes in. Please jump into the revenge story quickly but don't make it drag forever. Maybe let him slowly figure out who is involved and have him take them down one by one till he meets the real man in charge. Make Joon Ki a fugitive, again, make his love for Soo In strong and hers likewise for him. Don't make him into a noble idiot. Okay, I know that having all of these come true would be an unreasonable expectation for a KDrama but I can hope.

Trot Lovers first two episodes

I was so happy when this drama started!!!!!!!!!
Trot Lovers has started and I wasn't entirely sure of what to expect with the description of: A stuck up genius musician helps a young woman become a Trot Singer. I am loving it. I really hope that this drama continues to be this fun and hilarious. Ji Hyun Woo's character, Jang Joon Hyun, is so petty and overdramatic; I just love it. He's so full of himself and in his mind he's a god. He's not overly intelligent but so prideful that even the smallest jab at his ego can make him do what you want; kind of reverse-psychology on a little kid to make them do something they don't want to. And his temper tantrums are so kiddish they're hilarious.

Shin Sung Rok's character is interesting. After I got over the fact that he was a crazy murderer in the last drama I saw him in, actually still trying to get over that mindset, I really just find him rather hilarious. He is odd, like really odd. I kind of hope that he really is a kleptomaniac rather than Jung Eun Ji just mistaking him as one. He's so strange and I really hope that they keep the kleptomaniac/always misplacing his stuff gag running through the whole show cause it's fantastic. The first time it happened it was funny but then he showed up with another person's phone in his pocket, misplacing his wallet, and then he lost his phone so he took Choon Hee's. I love it. Show, please keep this aspect because he's kind of adorably strange. I find it oddly endearing.

So far I think that I am going to continue to love this drama because I do like lighthearted, humorous dramas more than melos. I'd rather watch people having fun and being slightly over the top rather than watching depressing plots with outrageous decisions and actions from the characters. I really hope that the two loan sharks end up being Choi Choon Hee(Eun Ji) biggest fans and supporters. Oh, or her fashion consultants!!!! YES! The scene where Joon Hyun was burred in the ground with his head above the dirt but covered in a paper sack and Choon Hee starts singing, the two gangsters start singing and dancing while Joon Hyun jumps in as a background singer was hilarious. I was seriously laughing out loud.

Choi Choon Hee seems like a typical drama heroine. She's hard working, her life is difficult, strong love for her family. Though something about her character really fits a Trot lover's style. She seems like a girl who would love Trot music. Can't wait for her next episodes and I hope this drama keeps Joon Hyun's egomaniac style because the songs that play during his moments of self pity or anger are fantastic.

And how cute is Choon Hee's little sister?

High School King of Savvy first two episodes

Ah yes! Man, do I need this. Doctor Stranger is kind of giving me a headache with everything that's going on and I needed something light and fun to make my Mondays and Tuesdays worth it and this might be just the ticket. I love impersonating shenanigans if they are done correctly; High School King os Savvy just might be one of these dramas.

The first two episodes gave us just a sample of the trouble Seo In Guk's character will be dealing with as he masquerades as his older brother, the new director, of the major company Comfo. So far I love Lee Min Seok's(Seo In Guk) personality, his confidence, and his slacker mind. I cannot wait to watch him hone acting like his brother to an exact science cause he's not doing half bad right now.

I am curious to see how Soo Young works into this whole thing. Right now I can't see exactly how she'll get tied up in this whole thing, maybe she'll suddenly remember the night she met Min Seok and realize he's actually a high school student rather than a business man. I'm excited to see her help Min Seok with his quick changes and figuring out the work place cause Min Seok hates studying and work in general and he'll need her help. I wonder how they'll con her into helping with this whole tricking the main boss thing. 

Yoo Jin Woo(Lee Soo Hyuk), I really do like his character and it doesn't help that I'm almost finished with Vampire Idol and loving him in that. Anyways, Jin Woo isn't a jerk. I appreciate that and I actually find him rather likable. He let Soo Young down gently when she confessed to him and didn't string her along, nor did he express any interest in her romantically, she just interpreted his attention the wrong way. As I was watching episode one from a viewer's point of view when he first met Soo Young I saw nothing but a slight interest in her as a colleague and a person rather than a romantic interest. When she helped him break off the China deal I saw his mind register her as someone who could be useful as a colleague and his attention at the company dinner was nothing but polite but with her odd mind and personality I totally saw how she interpreted the situation. Oh man, how awkward was that? That was just fantastic though I don't like the pity angle they're playing Soo Young on. I do pity her but I want to see her become a more confident woman and I think her encounters with Min Seok will do that. I am in no way hoping for them to become romantic interests because he's in High School! I have never liked Noona romances which is unfortunate because it's a rather popular thing in Korea for reasons I can't understand. So while I want Min Seok and Soo Young to become good friends, I want Jin Woo to start liking her and eventually end up with her. I can see the awkward couple becoming a real couple; that is unless Min Seok decides he's in love with her and she takes interest in him. I am also interested to find out what Jin Woo's devils are as well as Min Seok's Hyung's reasoning for bailing on his new company. 

I feel like I'm going to love this show and I couldn't wait to see Seo In Guk playing a High School Student again.

Good Luck

Oh man. The second Yoseop started singing. Man I about lost it. I love his voice, and Black Haired Yoseop is my second favorite version on him just barely being beat out by Blonde Yoseop. Yoseop, one day I will meet you and we will be married. One day.
I still have no idea about the plot of this video. We didn't really get to see anything other than what we were shown in the teasers cause the rest was either them dancing or solo shots, so I'm just gong to say that my original evaluation of this video remains true. I do believe that I liked the dance but with the darker set, lights, and far away shots it was a little difficult to tell; I did, however, like the song.  The beginning with Junhyung's piano piece and Yoseop's voice was beautiful and I honestly would have loved for a whole song of just those two. When Yoseop went to falsetto and the bass started rubbing, great contrast right there. Overall I liked this, but not their outfits, seriously terrible stuff there. Oh, and their English was pretty dang good. Yoseop did a great job with his English at the beginning, even pronouncing "loving" with not only a "v" but also an "ing". I find that if Kpop stars try and use the words "love" or "loving" we often hear "lub" and "lubin". Great job Yoseop, and while it took me a couple times to realize Junhyung was saying "elevator" and "ain't no cure for my disease" after I figured it out I decided that for difficult words like "elevator" and "disease" his pronunciation wasn't too shabby.
Final thought, who wears heels to bed? The first thing I take off when I enter into my house, or even a hotel room, would be my shoes. Let's be real here, and Dongwoon, if anything you should take her shoes off, not put them back on. That is all. Can't wait to see the live version of those notes Yoseop and Hyunseung hit. And the live dance.

Final, Final teaser for Beast

My bad, I thought the member teasers were going to be all we got but nope, we get another.
Okay, this is a song I could get into. Not so wild about Yoseop's and Hyunseung's outfits, (seriously what are you two wearing?), but the song is one I could possibly love. Hyungseung's "uh-ho" was fantastic. I really hope this song is awesome even if I'm skeptical about the MV from the teasers, though the dance looks cool. June 16th.

Final teasers for Beast's Good Luck

The last three member teasers for Beast's new MV Good Luck have come out. I didn't want to post one teaser a day so I waited till all three were out so I could post them all at the same time. Junhyung's teaser, Dongwoon's teaser, and Hyunseung's teaser were the last to come out. Still not sure what the song is going to be like but we have learned that if you stab Junhyung, money pours out of him. Good to know incase you are ever short on some change.
And after watching all the teasers in order of when they came out, I have realized the story they are telling. The girl with the black heels gets rejected by Yoseop, (Yoseop, you death glare that girl!), because Yoseop knows what type of a girl she is cause she's hurt him before, so she goes back to her room, 2047, but Gikwang is in the room next door, 2046, spying on her. Creepy. Dujun wants to go into the girls room, cause she's been with him as well, but can't bring himself to do so; good thing too, Maknae Dongwoon is in the room with the black heeled girl and they are not playing an innocent game. After Dongwoon is finished in the room he feels terrible because he knows that not only Yoseop would be hurt if he found out, so would Gikwang, Dujun, and Hyunseung. And Junhyung, I don't know how he fits in, maybe the girl saw him playing the piano in Yoseop's teaser and she decided he knows too much and has to go.
We shall see if I am right on June 16th when this MV comes out.

More songs from Beast

Comebacks, comebacks, comebacks. So many comebacks happening right now. They all come in at once. All of them. I swear.
Beast has another MV and song coming out. Good Luck with be released on June 16th of this year and we have three member teasers out so far. Yoseop's, GiKwang's, and DuJun's. From the teasers, I have no idea what to expect from the song because each of the teasers have had different lyrical pieces at the end. Maybe we'll see a pattern when the other member's teasers come out or maybe we won't.
