Partners of Justice Review

Title: Partners of Justice
AKA: Investigation Couple
Genre: drama, crime, mystery
Episodes: 32
Broadcast period: 2018-May to 2018-Jul
Cast: Jung Jae Young, Jung Yoo Mi, Lee Yi Kyung, Park Eun Suk and Stephanie Lee.

Eun Sol (Jung Yoo Mi) is a newly appointed public prosecutor, full of life and energy. Though very young and inexperienced, she graduated with highest points, and treats everyone with enthusiasm. Easy to talk to and bubbly, she is liked by everyone, until she encounters Baek Bom (Jung Jae Young), a forensic pathologist. Grumpy and simpleminded, Bom is rude to everyone, especially Sol, after she accidently almost contaminates a crime scene. Scarred by his past, Bom who had been a successful surgeon, but decided to become a medical examiner, and excelled while doing so.
The two completely different people, both talented in their fields, start recognizing each other’s strengths, while cases from past and present turn up, and the two unknowingly become partners…

This is one of those where you can’t really give a decent resume, it has to be watched.
I swear, this drama took me by surprise. I did not expect to like it as much as I did. I think I cried (or was teary) in almost every story! The fact that there weren’t unnecessary love stories, or a draggy/long main story, kind of made it more interesting as a viewer. To be engaged in every story, rather than wanting to follow a main story, is kind of refreshing. BUT yes... There is a main story, it just doesn’t take much of the screen time in every episode, different than (filler episodes) dramas… I enjoyed the characters too. They seemed a bit typical at the beginning, but you kind of find them relatable later one. From the happy girl to the grumpy guy. I liked both.
Of course, there are annoying things as well, but you kind of forget those along the way.
So: all in all, a great drama to watch - heck made me interested in pathology… says a bit.

Noble, My Love Review

Title: The Noble You
AKA: Noble, My Love
Genre:  Romance, Webdrama
Episodes: 20
Broadcast Period: Aug-2015 to Sep-2015
Cast: Sung Hoon, Kim Jae Kyung, Park Eun Suk, Kim Dong Suk, Park Shin Woon, Lee Seung Yoon, Seo Young

Lee Kang Hoon (Sung Hoon) is a wealthy heir who is attractive, but he cares little for the feelings of other people. Cha Yoon Seo (Kim Jae Kyung) is a cheerful and lovely veterinarian who runs her own animal hospital. After the two meet in an unexpected crisis, can feelings of dislike turn into feelings of love?

After some serious, heavy and devastating dramas, all I wanted was something light that doesn’t require my brain to work. Noble, My love just fit that description, it’s short, (20 episode a la 15 min), and it was very simple. For the record, this show is far from perfect. There are definitely flaws to be found, even if you choose not to look for them. Take for example the acting. I’m really disappointed in Sung Hoon, I’ve seen him in plenty of other productions, but this one was so far his worst performance, and I can’t really say Jae Kyung were any better. On the upside, they both do solid enough jobs of making their characters engaging. In spite of their various limitations in delivery, they managed to make me care, and that counts for a lot. The storyline were easy and simple, nothing surprising about it. Warm, feel-good, fluffy (and mostly mindless) fun.
