Rating: **.5


Genre: Romance
Episodes: 20
Cast: Yoo Ah In, Shin Se Kyung, Lee Je Hoon, Kwon Yu Ri, Jang Mi Hee




SYNOPSIS:
"Fashion King tells the story of young aspiring designers in Dongdaemun Market as they dream of success, and the relationships, love, and challenges they face along the way. Kang Young Gul has never had any goals or dreams for a bright future until he meets Lee Ga Young. Together they work towards their dreams. "


REVIEW:
I rarely ever do a rating lower than 3 stars, but I think that this drama really doesn't deserve it.  Although the execution of the drama was good (which landed it 2.5 stars), the actual storyline was just annoying.  Truthfully, if it wasn't for the fact that I need content to review, I probably wouldn't have even finished this drama.  Although the show certainly ended with a bang, it didn't make up for the fact that it was a complete waste of my time.  Don't waste your time on this unless you feel like making fun of a drama.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal

Rating: ****.5

Genre: Period, Romance, Comedy
Episodes: 20
Cast: Micky Yoochun, Park Min Young, Song Joong Ki, Yoo Ah In

"Sungkyunkwan Scandal is set in Sungkyunkwan University in the late Joseon era during the reign of King Jeongjo, revolving around the exploits and love stories of four youths. When her younger brother's illness worsens and their family is in danger of being evicted from their house for lack of money, Kim Yoon Hee enters the school under his name, disguised as a boy in her desperation to support him. There, she becomes friends with the intelligent and upright Lee Sun Joon, the playboy Goo Yong Ha and rebellious Moon Jae Shin."


I finally got to watch the finale of SKKS and I'm quite happy with the entire series. Ever since I heard about this series, I've been very excited to watch it. For me, I've always enjoyed gender-bender stories, mostly because they are generally very comical and provide a lot of entertainment. Like most gender-bender stories, this one has a young woman (Kim Yoon Hee) posing as a man. This drama was originated from a Korean novel, however the drama is very different from what I've heard of the original book. Watching it as just a drama, (and not in relation to the book at all) I found it very interesting, funny, and enjoyable to watch. I must say, though, the playboy Goo Yong Ha and rebellious Moon Jae Shin are probably the reason I watched this drama through the end. The way Song Joong Ki acted as a his character was just hilarious and the lines that the character said made me want to re-watch the drama over and over again. In the end, I think I got the "You're Beautiful" syndrome all over again. In reality, the reason I was hooked on this drama was not because of the main characters, but because of the supporting characters.

As far as the acting and production of this drama, I found nothing too wrong with it. Micky did an awesome job considering that he doesn't have much experience with it. Still, though he still has room to grow and get better at it. Micky, fighting! I really wanted to give this a five star rating, but, in the end, there were times when my interest faded a bit. I really hope you give this drama a chance, it's definitely something I would recommend.

Strongest Chil Woo

Rating: ****

Genre: Period Drama
Episodes: 20
Cast: Eric, Lee Eun, Jun Noh Min, Koo Hye Sun, Yoo Ah In

"Kang Chil Woo is a lowly officer during the Joseon era. Chil Woo is not a very smart and one of his life long goals is to become a midlevel officer. However when night falls, he is no longer that low level officer but instead a top assassin in an assassination organization. He gives out punishment to criminals and gives justice where needed. So Yoon and Chil Woo have a tragic love story. Yeon Doo is the daughter of a fallen yangban who owns a textile shop. She falls in love with Chil Woo after he rescues her from thugs who were harassing her. "


Strongest Chil Woo is a lot like spray can cheese. It's fun and cheesy with just about no nutrition in it. The drama is a very light take on more serious situations. You'd think that the characters in this drama (who've all gone through many trials and tribulations) would be a bit more serious. However, I kind of found the silliness quite fun. Even though there were "transformation sequences" like in power rangers (lmao), and the fighting scenes were a bit unrealistic it still was interesting enough to keep me hooked.

P.S. I never knew how gorgeous Yoo Ah In could be before this drama. I swear, when he has his long wig on he looks so pretty. I'm jealous. I wish I could look as good as him hehe XD
