Queen In-hyun's Man - Korean Drama Review

Queen In-hyun's Man (2012)

Queen In-hyun's Man really taken me by surprised with its interesting, creative and romantic plots. The story kept me watching it from beginning till the end. It is another top Korean drama that will mesmerize you with vivid memory after watching it is.

The story revolved around time travel, a bit similar to “Back to the Future”, but the plot is entirely different. The author uses time travel as the background of the story, and adds on romantic details which are beyond your predictions. Summary of the story goes like this:

Year 1694, Joseon Dynasty: Kim Boong-do (Ji Hyun-woo) is a scholar loved by the emperor at that time. However, he did not live long enough to enjoy his success. His family and later he himself were killed in a conspiracy. Queen In-hyun, was also deposed due to a scheme by royal concubine Lady Jang.

Year 2012, modern-day Seoul: Choi Hee-jin (Yoo In-na), is a struggling actress, who experienced a twist in her career when she is cast as Queen In-hyun in the television drama "New Jang Heebin".

With the help of a mysterious talisman, whenever Boong-do’s life is threatened, he will time-travel to 2012, where he crosses paths with Hee-jin. Due to 300 years of differences, Boon-do has a culture shock and a series of funny incidents take place. However, a fast learner himself, he is able to learn to adapt the new world. He uses the time travel, re-creates the history, and reinstates the queen.

Here is one of the romantic scenes:

With Hee-jin’s help, Boong-do went to the library to read about the history in year 1694 and learnt that the people behind the conspiracy were severely punished with death sentence. He was thrilled with what he read and asked Hee-jin, “What do you do when you are overjoyed (in modern-day)?”. Hee-jin replied, “We normally hug the other person.” And Boong-do just hugged her. She was stunned ! Hee-jin is already attracted to this tall and good looking noble man, a hug from him melt her to the bone.

Then in the lift, Boong-do said that he will not need to see her again as he knows how to get the library himself. Hee-jin is so sad to hear that, unable to control herself, she kisses him out of a sudden, for fear of not able to see him again. Then she explained herself to him vehemently that, this is the way to say good bye in today's world. Boong-do is startled and believing her, he said that in his time, only lovers kiss.

Then Hee-jin’s manager appears and insists on knowing this mysterious man. She offers to drive him to the nearby garden to drop him off. When they reach there and about to depart, she just said, “Good bye” to him, (no kisses). Boong-do wondered and asked her, “Is that all you do to say good bye”? Then she waved her hands. Sitting at the back seat of the car, Hee-jin was so embarrassed.

This funny and romantic plot does not end here. Watch and know more. You will enjoy it.

The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry - Korean Drama Review

The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry (2010)

I totally enjoyed this drama. It is really funny and romantic at the same time.

This romantic and comedy drama talks about three female friends in their mid-thirties, who are still not married, a bit similar to the American series, "Sex and the City", but minus out the sex. (Korean drama is seldom talking about sex anyway.) The first woman, a Korean-English translator Da-jung (Uhm Ji-won) is desperate to find the right man and marry herself off, but she will not settle for anything less than the perfect man. She is miserable and frustrated over one wrong man after another.

The second woman, a successful and attractive broadcast journalist Shin-young (Park Jin-hee) desires true love, but often finds herself torn between highly demand workload and relationship. After a few failed relationships, she has become pessimistic about committing herself to the right man.

The third woman, Bu-ki (Wang Bit-na), is a gorgeous, sophisticated, confidence, successful restaurant consultant and owner. Bu-ki seems to have the answer to every question from the first two women. She is perfectly happy to remain single forever, after experiencing and breaking off a disappointed engagement. She doesn't believe in marriage any more, and finds happiness being single.

Of all three women’s stories, the romance between the broadcast journalist Shin-young and Min-Jae (Kim Bum) is most romantic. Kim Bum's role was just so-so in "Boys Before Flower". Here in this drama, he really caught my attention.

Kim Bum played the role of a college student and talented musician. He sings so well and is so good looking - a man of every girl’s dream. Shin-young and Min-Jae had a unfavourable first encounter, where Shin-young cuts his guitar string, when she finds him noisily disturbing.

Then, the story continued where it started with a bet - Kim Bum bet with a friend that he could win Shin-young's heart. Out of Kim Bum's expectation, a game turned into true love. Kim Bum found himself falling for a women 12 years older than him, and she is not returning his love, as easily as other girls. His pursuance is so persistent and romantic. Shin-young was moved many times but could not believe how she could end up with a man twelve years younger than her. Several rejections from the pessimistic Shin-young did not make Min-Jae give up.

“My love for you is real,” says Min-jae to Shin-young. “Just because I’m young, that does not mean I do not know how to love or I love less.”

At one point, Shin-young decides to throw away all her concerns, and tells Min-jae, in whisper that he could barely hear:

At this point in my life, I love you… more than anything else in the world.

Love Rain - Korean Drama Review

Love Rain

If you always enjoy Jang Geun Suk's acting, don't miss this drama !! Some review has mentioned how so-so this Korean drama is. I didn't think so. I think it is another awesomely romantic drama you should not missed. I totally enjoyed it. The love story was great !

The drama talked about the first love of a couple, Seo In-Ha (Jang Geun Suk) and Kim Yoon-Hee (Yoona). In-Ha is a talented art student while Yoon-Hee is a shy beauty. They bumped into each other in college and fell in love in 1970’s. Seo In-Ha would only paint the woman he loves. Love at first sight, In-Ha secretly painted Yoon-Hee while she was reading in the garden, from the window of his room.

Unfortunately, fate was not on their side, and they had to go separate way. In-Ha stayed in Korea to finish his studies, while Yoon-Hee was fatally sick and went to US to seek treatment. In-Ha thought Yoon-Hee has passed away from rumour he received, so he married another woman whom he didn't really love. He had a divorce 20 years later, since he could not forget Yoon-Hee.

Thirty years later, their children, Seo In-Ha’s son, Seo-Joon (Jang Geun Suk), a bold and talented photographer, met and fell in love with Kim Yoon-Hee’s daughter, Kim Ha-Na (Yoona), a cheerful girl who enjoyed gardening as much as her mother.

Before meeting Yoon-Hee, Seo-Joon did not believe in romance, after seeing how his father suffer from his unforgettable first love, Yoon-Hee, and left his mother. He flirted with celebrities who often tried to please him. Indifferent to Seo-Joon’s fame, Ha-Na hurt his pride and caught his attention.

At the same time, Seo In Ha and Kim Yoon Hee met by coincidence, and Seo In Ha would not take another chance to lose her again. How would these tangled up love stories unfold, watch and you will know.

If you like to watch “Winter Sonata”, you will enjoy this drama which reunited director Yoon Suk Ho and screenwriter Oh Soo Yun of “Autumn Tale” and “Winter Sonata” after ten years.

Me Too, Flower! Korean Drama Review

Me too, Flower! korean drama is about the love story between a cynical police woman and a successful bag designer who hides his real identity. I think the lead make actor was well played by Yoon Si-Yoon, and the lead female actress, Lee Ji-Ah did a good job playing out the role of a fierce and tough police woman too. However, the story line can be further improved. Some of the converstation are not realistic. The overall drama lack of depth, and the story is rather dragging. I think this drama is a case of good actor and actress, but weak script.

List of Good Looking Korean Actors With Long Hair

Many Korean actors looked captivating with their long hair. One after another, they appear in the Korean dramas with long hair look, especially in the traditional Korean set up. The actor looked so manly, strong and romantic in the new hair style, some of them even kept the look for further drama promotion. Here are the list of good looking Korean actors with long hair. Would you follow their hair style ?

Lee Min Ho had his first long hair in the Korean drama called Faith.

Best Kiss Scene in Korean Dramas

The kissing moments in Korean drama series are the most unforgettable. Despite saying that, not many of the Korean drama kiss scenes are that good especially when compared to the Hollywood movies. Sometimes I wonder whether that is how Korean man and woman kiss - so reserved, and lack of passion. Therefore, if there are really great kiss scenes in K-drama, fans will immediately go hooha about it.

Below are the three best kiss scenes that I have encountered in Korean drama series so far, if you disagee with me, please let me know your favourite kiss scene among the K-drama you have watched.

In the drama, "Mary Stayed Out All Night", after Jang Geun Suk and Wi Mae Ri denied their attraction to each other for some time, they just could not resist the passion and fire that has held up so long within them. After a really exciting run-away from Jang's fans in this drama in chained hands, Jang could not resist the temptation any more, and kissed Mary passionately. Mary responded the same in return.

In the drama, "Goong" (means palace), Joo Ji Hoon and Yoon Eun Hye kissed so passionately, especially at the section when Joo Ji Hoon and Yoon Eun Hye finally openly accepted each other's love, the long waited moment in the drama.

"Me too, Flower", despite being voted has the most underrated Korean drama series has an absolutely unforgettable kiss scene.

I think the romantic comedy drama, "Queen In-Hyun's man" has many very nice kiss scenes. The two are real lovers while filming the drama, maybe that's why the kiss scenes are long and natural. They are actually kissing !! This drama proves that the Korean drama kiss scene has leap jump improved.

Way to go, Korean drama !!

Review

Oh, I loved this movie. Excellent plots, excellent acting, extremely romantic and mesmerizing….

I think it has :

the best kissing scene

the best couple moments

and

both male roles were so convincing that whichever one that the main actress Mary chose, the audience would not mind so much. In fact, some audiences preferred Mary chose the supporting actor, a rich guy who was so so perfect and not less romantic than the poor main actor. Nevertheless, Jang Geun Suk acted so well in this drama. In my opinion, he was more convincing acting in this drama than the other, “He is Beautiful” series. (I was fast forwarding often while watching “He is beautiful”.)

Best Kissing Scene

In most Korean drama series, the kissing scenes are quite disappointing. The actor just touched the actress lips, not much passion involved. But in this series, Jang Geun Suk kissed Moon Geun Young so passionately that I think he drove many young girls crazy ! Watch it in Episode 5 :

I think the other drama with excellent kissing scene is “Goong”, which can match this drama.

Best Couple Moments

There are so many couple’s beautiful moments in this drama - the pictures of Jang Geun Suk and Moon Geun Young together such as :

· When Jang Geun Suk played the guitar and sang with Moon Geun Young beside him

· When they skated together

· When they got drunk together (first scene, wow that was good !)

Women of the Sun - Sisters in Love – Review

Rating : 8 out of 10

Mainly, it is a story about two sisters. The plots were very well written - exciting, thoroughly thought of, refreshing, and will keep anyone watching till the end. There are not many romantic scenes, but there are plenty of love stories. Both sisters have their own men whom they love, and the men are just so perfect - extremely thoughtful, mature, intelligent and supportive.

Every scene is well planned and exciting. I didn’t fast forward any scene, which is my normal impatient behavior when watching a Korean drama with scenes I disliked.

The actors and actresses are so beautiful and handsome in this movie, and they acted so well.

It is really worth a watch !

My favourite romantic Scene

Ji Young in the drama

One of my favourite romantic scenes was when Ji Young and Joon Sae had a drink, and how Joon Sae realized that he made a mistake following his brain rather than his heart, when deciding on the woman he wanted to be with. Joon Sae was a gentleman who kept his promise even if that went against his own will. He still wanted to marry the woman he didn’t love since he promised her. In this scene, he regretted over his decision. Then, as Ji Young and Joon Sae walked in a underground tunnel, Ji Young again spoke openly about her feelings to Joon Sae. Without a word, Joon Sae held Ji Young’s face, and kissed her. He has rejected her so many times before this scene, hence his surprising act in this scene was so captivating !

Joon Sae in the drama

The Most Touching Scene

As an adopted daughter, Do Young (below) was so unloved by her foster mother, and she craved of her mother's love so much to the extend that she did many wrong things in her life. Before she committed suicide in the second last episode, her last words were that she were so sorry, she was just so"greedy" of her foster mother's love. That was the saddest and most touching scene. She deserves an acting award for her excellent act in his drama.

Do Young in the drama

Be prepared to cry to your heart's content in this drama.
