KBS2 Drama list Jan To May 2015

It's been a long time. I didn't know I'll be MIA for a long time... I thought I'll just stop coming back but here I am again. Trying to fill in something... So, where should I start? back to January? or just start where ever I stop? Hmmm let see....For now I'll just list down the must watch drama in starting from January until May from KBS2

Healer (힐러)

Must watch!
Love this drama... it's like watching someone stealing your heart without you even know it.

It's an action romance. So, if you're expecting the Healer going to help the world like Superman or Captain America  than forget it. 

Oh I don't believe people who claimed  they only watched this drama because it's good. 

It's either Ji Chang Wook/ Park Min Young, you name it.

Blood (블러드) 

To be truthful, this is not really my favorite one.

And that doesn't mean it was bad, just not on my fav. list that's all. 

It failed to get my attention to the fullest. But If you're into vampire mysterious love story this might be for you to watch.

Oh, I don't even really watch Twilight... now I know why this one didn't get my attention hahaha

The King's Face (왕의 얼굴) 

I really love Saeguk drama, I just can't help but keep checking on a good one.

Since this one is based on a well known Korean historical event, I believe this must be awesome. But seriously.... it's just too complicated. Hahaha

Historical note:

"Prince Gwanghae is considered a progressive and real politic king of the time that get removed from the thorn by a coup of the old guard nobility."

 
 

Unkind Women (착하지 않은 여자들)  

I guess the reason why I love this drama is because of the way it describe women in every generation way of thinking. Since I'm an independence woman. I found some of the character in this drama has great similarity to me. 

Finally, something that close to reality is on air.

 
 

  

 Spy (스파이)   

The reason this one goes in my fav list is quoted below. Not that perfect but nice!

"If there ever was a shining redeeming quality to this show, it would be by far the men in this family. I could fill pages about Dad and his steadfast devotion to his wife and children, along with his willingness to protect his family. His helplessness in the time when he knew that there was nothing he could do broke my heart, but how could you not love a jolly, honorable family man? And wouldn’t you know that Sun-woo takes after his father in his own relationship with Yoon-jin (even if I was never sold on the romance). Coming across a hero who actually comes from a loving home with solid parent-child relationships is hard to come by, which makes me appreciate Sun-woo all the more." - Gumimohi's Review @dramabeans

Producers (프로듀사) 

Too early to mention it as my fav. one. But I'll keep on eye on this. Fighting!

 

Orange Marmalade (오렌지 마말레이드)

Yeah! my eyes refreshment is back! The first 2 episode was great. I'm still looking forward on the next episode... seriously, I guess I'm just being bias here. I'm not interested on vampire dramas but this one hahaha

Everything looks like webtoon in this drama... or is it just me? I know it was from a famous webtoon but since I haven't read or come across to the webtoon so I don't know. For now I'll just stick to watch.

(I'm definitely going to put some review on Orange Marlade. Wait & see... )

One day, Eun-Bi practices a song while out in a park and Hong Jae-Hee, who fell asleep in the park after drinking too much alcohol, is awaken by her singing. Jae-Hee tells Eun-Bi that he wrote the song "Maria Maria" that she is singing. Eun-Bi doesn't believe him. Jae-Hee advises her that without talent she shouldn't think of becoming a musical actress.

Eun-Bi, ignoring Jae-Hee's opinion, decides to take time off from medical school to take part in numerous auditions. She fails all of them. With only 2 weeks left before she has to return to medical school Eun-Bi becomes desperate. She spots an audition advertisement looking for a male musical actor. Eun-Bi decides to take part in the audition dressing up as a man. Her ruse is discovered though by Yoo-Jin (Park Gi-Woong), an investor for musicals, and she is kicked out from the audition.

In the bathroom of the audition, Eun-Bi meets a woman named Sa Bok-Ja (Park Kyeong-Rim). Bok-Ha insists she is a musical instructor and gives lessons to Eun-Bi. Bok-Ja even moves into Eun-Bi's apartment. Eun-Bi then decides to take a year off from school, believing that with lessons from Bok-Ja she cam make her dreams come true.

A creative musical contest is then held by an investment company led by Yoo-Jin. Meanwhile, a friend of Jae-Hee asks him to write two songs for the contest, but Jae-Hee refuses. Later, Jae-Hee drinks with a bunch of people including Bok-Ja. Bok-Ja has become drunken and grabs Jae-Hee without letting him go. Jae-Hee takes Bok-Ja back to his place and uses her cellphone to call someone. The person that answers is Eun-Bi. A short while later, Eun-Bi arrives at Jae-Hee's place. Jae-Hee learns that Eun-Bi wants to become a musical actress and asks her to sing to a melody while he plays something on the piano.
