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.

EXO Next Door Review

Title: Exo Next Door
Genre: Romance, Music, Comedy,Webdrama
Episode: 16
Broadcast Period: Apr-2015 to May-2015
Cast: Moon Ga Young, Park Chan Yeol, Do Kyung Soo, Byun Baek Hyun, Oh Sehun, Kim Jong In, Chen,

Ji Yeon Hee (Moon Ga Young) is a 20-something year old girl, who hasn't yet dated because she blushes terribly and is completely paralyzed when she's near a good looking boy. One day, four members of EXO (A univers-well-known idol group) are trying to keep a low profile, and move into the house of one of the member's grandfather. However, it turns out that EXO members house is right next door of Yeon Hee's house.

Hmm.. I can’t decide whether this was a success or  failure for me. In between maybe? It’s just that it was sooo silly and ridiculous… I mean, none of the members can act properly (I hope I don’t attract anti-fans), BESIDE D.O!! I mean wow, he got his own show going on in this one, I love him from other dramas, so I’m quite happy that he was in this one too. Plus, after all it’s a webdrama, and it’s not supposed to be so serious, so maybe I’m just used to serious dramas. But still.. it was silly cute. I got hooked, however it took me awhile to watch, but I’m happy that I’m finally over with it. The storyline was nice, while watching I rather hoped they had made it into a real drama. I'm not a fan of EXO, but that was really funny and nice to watch. The main couple irritated me sometimes, but they were adorable. I guess I want to watch more of them ^^.

Dr. Ian Review

Title: Dr. Ian
AKA: Dr. Mo Clinical
Genre: Romance, Drama
Episode: 9
Broadcast Period: Mar-2015 to Apr-2015
Cast: Kim Young Kwang, Park Sandara, Choi Dae Sung, Jung Ji Yoon, Kim Min Chan

The memories of pain and love shape our reality and personality, hence they can be used to find healing in counseling. This is the story of psychiatrist Mo Ian (Kim Young Kwang), who specializes in hypnosis treatments. He meets an eccentric, 4-D office girl, Lee So Dam (Park Sandara), and through the process of treating and counselling her, he finds a way to heal his own wounds.

A sweet love story between two people who needed some healing. I loved it. I wasn’t expecting anything, after all it’s a short webdrama. Usually I don’t watch webdramas, however I was interested in Sandara Parks, so I gave it a shot. Now I just wish they turned it into a full-length drama. The story was cute and realistic, of course there were some issues here and there, and the storyline were lacking, but isn’t that what webdramas is all about. There were many scenes, which made my heart flutter and me punching a pillow. Aiguu I’m a sucker for romance. I never realized how handsome Kim Young Kwang actually is… and tall!  Sandara Park is actually quite a good actress, I hope she gain success in that field too, and I’m looking forward to her next project. The episodes are maximum 13 minutes long, so if you have a free afternoon, I do recommend it.
