Father is Strange Review

Title: Father is Strange
AKA: My Father is Weird
Genre: Family, Drama, Comedy
Episodes: 52
Broadcast Period: Mar-2017 to Aug-2017
Cast: Kim Yong Chul, Kim Hae Sook, Min Jin Woong, Lee Yoo Ri, Lee Joon, Ryu Hwa Young, Jung So Min,

This drama is about a family that lives on the outskirts of Seoul. Byun Han Soo (Kim Young Chul) is the father and his wife, Na Young Sil (Kim Hae Sook) is a dedicated, responsible mother to his three daughters and one son including Hye Young (Lee Yoo Ri), Mi Young (Jung So Min), Ra Young (Ryu Hwa Young) and Joon Young (Min Jin Woong).
Suddenly one day, Ahn Joong Hee (Lee Joon) shows up at the household, and declares that he is the son of the family. Ahn Joong Hee is an actor who used to be a member of an idol group. He gets accepted into the family and begins to live with them…

This was seriously a wonderful drama, loved it from 1 to 52. Maybe this statement is based on my still hyped emotions of it, but I just feel that this one captured a really special place in my heart. Maybe because it focused so much on the family relationships, and had some sprinkles of romance here and there, however the main theme kept shining out throughout the drama. The actors did a pretty decent job; they all were expressful of their character and made you love them and hate them at times. What I mostly like about this, is that it’s not like a typical family drama were they drag the whole point till the end, no, they reveal everything in the beginning, and you just enjoy seeing the story unfold with it. I’m definitely stating another family drama soon, I get so addicted to it, because I get so much more time with the characters, and I can truly see them develop, and I think that’s what makes the whole time worth for me.

Drinking Solo Review

Title: Drinking Solo
AKA: Let's Drink
Genre: Drama, Romance, Comedy
Episodes: 16
Broadcast Period: Sep-2016 to Oct-2016
Cast: Ha Suk Jin, Park Ha Sun, Hwang Woo Seul Hye, Min Jin Woong, Kim Won Hae, Gong Myung, Key, Kim Dong Young, Jung Chae Yun,

Background of the drama is set around a private institute for people preparing for their civil service examinations in Noryangjin, Seoul, South Korea. Story depicts people drinking alcohol alone for different reasons and the romance between Jung Suk (Ha Seok Jin) and Shin Ib (Park Ha Sun). Jung Suk is an arrogant, but popular instructor and Shin Ib is a rookie instructor. She struggles to survive in the private institute world.

The best thing that happened in this drama is the chemistry between the trio students, that are attending the institute. The way they act really makes me want to be in their circle. Also, oh boy, the way I related to their problems. Being a student is hard these days :'D The main leads problem was the lack of chemistry. This drama had a slow start, but it gets better towards the end. Though, there are some parts i had to skip because it was kind of boring and irrelevant to me. In the beginning the title did concern me, was it only about drinking? or did it have more to it. Well, half of the drama is just repeatings, even if you skip it you won’t miss much. Overall this drama is a good one if you don't focus on the leads love story and the alcohol, but the trio: Lonelyboy, Dumb and dumber.
