Episodes 1 and 2\u00a0 both aired this week and our Drama Club has submitted our reviews to DF and now its my turn for my own personal commentary on this weeks shows.<\/p>\n

A devious ghost, feisty women and a man cold enough to get his own winter storm name from the weather channel make up this newest dish for our drama addictions.\u00a0 I personally was excited to see it because I just wanted to see Jeremy play a jerk.\u00a0\u00a0 Thankfully Lee Hong Ki is very good and I quickly fell into character with him.\u00a0 Yang Jin Sung plays our “look alike” female heroines who are different as night and day.\u00a0\u00a0 I was excited to see Jin Sung again because I enjoyed her performance in City Hunter as a bodyguard at Blue House.\u00a0 She was still kicking butt here and that was fun.\u00a0 She does an outstanding job playing both characters\u00a0 of\u00a0 Yi Kyung\/Doo Rim.\u00a0 2 episodes in and I couldn’t see the resemblance.\u00a0 She moves and talks so differently that I have no problem buying that its too different people.<\/p>\n
I was happy to find out the ghost story was real.\u00a0\u00a0 The Ghost makes quite a few appearances in the first episode.\u00a0 She kills her first victim,\u00a0 sets up to have Doo Rim rescue her from drowning and then “gifts” her with a\u00a0 “lucky bracelet” to help her find true love.\u00a0\u00a0 Lucky…..yeah right.\u00a0 She intimidates a psychic and follows our Hero to work.\u00a0\u00a0 Whatever the reason, this Ghost clearly has an agenda and has some personal preferences in how this plays out.\u00a0 I guess if you are going to get to take the soul of the first wife of each first born son you’d get picky, too.<\/p>\n
Yi Kyung really gets the raw end of the stick and I don’t blame her one wit for taking off and running away.\u00a0\u00a0 She gets treated like a puppet, used, abused and then gets derision heaped all over her.\u00a0 We have the jealous friend\/secretary\/childhood sweetheart who just makes matters worse .\u00a0\u00a0 Loveless business marriage….woohoo…what every little girl dreams of.\u00a0\u00a0 Right?\u00a0 No?\u00a0 Yeah… me neither.<\/p>\n
Doo Rim is Yi Kyung’s poorer, no relation look alike.\u00a0 Forced into pretending to be Yi Kyung courtesy of a bad business associate and her dying grandmother who needs surgery,\u00a0 Doo Rim\u00a0 submits to temporarily pretending to be the missing girl.\u00a0\u00a0 Little does she realize our Ghost has now put her exactly where she wants her.<\/p>\n
While the curse is always there, nobody wants to talk about it because, hey….who would sell…”cough cough”…marry their daughter into THAT family?\u00a0\u00a0 There is an ongoing debate between the staff and various family members on whether the rumors are true or not.\u00a0\u00a0 Thankfully, we the audience aren’t left in the dark….<\/p>\n
Our second episode\u00a0 really lets the comedy play.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We have magically appearing bracelets,\u00a0 fights with dishonest Ajummas,\u00a0 stumbles that lead to kisses,\u00a0 love triangles and through it all we have our cold hero Kang Joo trying to chase off\u00a0 our fake Yi Kyung (Doo Rim) by acting all alpha male over her.\u00a0\u00a0 Doo Rim isn’t’ having any of that, of course and she lets him know it.\u00a0\u00a0 I love it when the women aren’t wilting flowers.\u00a0 At one point, our catty friend confesses to Kang Joo where Doo Rim can hear it and while they didn’t know she was there,\u00a0 Doo Rim could care less.\u00a0 After all, its not her wedding.\u00a0\u00a0 Kang Joo even tries to bring it up later and she just ignores him.\u00a0\u00a0 She was more worried about the cat she was holding then Kang Joo’s need to either absolve himself or cause a problem.<\/p>\n
No thanks, I’m not interested in your love triangle, I’ll be over here thank you.\u00a0 lol<\/p>\n
Our Ghost, while not making as many appearances, still shows her influence by getting Doo Rim, not once but TWICE\u00a0 to trip and fall on our cold hero leading to compromised positions and unwanted kisses.\u00a0\u00a0 Seeing Kang Joo covered in matches was priceless.<\/p>\n
So far,\u00a0 this drama has me intrigued and I’m enjoying the underplay.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m also going to have a lot of fun talking and playing with Taleena and Firnlambe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
