REVIEW:
Beautiful.

As some of you may know, I've had a short novel in the back of my mind for a while now, and I've been trying to decide the basic outline for the story.  That being said, I've been watching various shows that deal with cancer patients and what they go through so that I can get some more ideas on what works and what doesn't work in the stories that are similar in nature to my upcoming literature.  However, after watching this, I'm starting to wonder if my story is worth writing.  I swear that the writer of this story read my mind.  Although the story is different, this is exactly the kind of situation I was going for.  (I guess I need to think more about my story before I go through with it.)

Simple, beautiful, and entrancing, this drama really made me want to watch more.  Although I don't usually watch pure romance dramas, I enjoyed this very much.

Let me just state real quick that I normally don't even bother watching dramas like this. A drama with 40 episodes is kind of tough. There's always a huge amount of drama and it seems like there is a constant state of waves crashing over you. Truthfully, I have no idea how I ended up watching this series. However, I must say, it did keep me occupied. I sat down for the first episode and barely was able to tear myself away from the computer screen in order to go to bed. The acting, cast, production, and plot was great. However, since the drama was way too full of drama for my unique taste I can't give it a five star rating. I have to admit that it was definitely a drama worth watching. I was kind of hoping for Byul to have the baby brother that she wanted though lol...

Hero

Rating: *****

Genre: Comedy, Police, Reporters
Episodes: 16
Cast: Lee Jun Ki, Shin Joo Ah, Uhm Ki Joon, Yoon So Yi, Baek Yoon Shik

"Hero is the story of Korea's top reporters and ordinary citizens fighting against the society elite's abuse of power. Working as a reporter for a racy tabloid called the Monday Seoul, Jin Do Hyuk uses any means necessary to get a scoop. One day, he goes to interview Jo Yong Deok, the boss of the Axe gang, who suggests that they start their own newspaper. Do Hyuk lies about the credentials of his former co-workers when he introduces them to Jo Yong Deok as potential hires for the newspaper venture. With his former co-workers on board, he is able to launch the Yongdeok Daily together with Yong Deok. But the newly hired reporters soon find themselves sucked into a huge conspiracy that could utterly ruin their lives. "

I personally loved this series. Then again, I'm biased because I love Lee Jun Ki as he is extremely cute. He makes me want to give him a hug. Anyway, I really enjoyed the storyline and the directing was very good. The only problem I really had though was in the last episode when reporter Jin Do Hyuk (Played by Lee Jun Ki) was hurt, the bandage on his head was nowhere near realistic lmao. Like his hair was perfectly combed and a large bandage was just attached to his hair. Other than that, though, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
