Mad Concrete Dreams: The first episodes were incredibly stressful and tense, and I loved each minute. The play did a awesome occupation of telling america truthful galore things astir our characters done nan smallest details. Even nan opening segment pinch Sun having cooked her ain day miyukguk said truthful overmuch astir her narration pinch Soo-jung (imagine having to cook your ain day barroom erstwhile you don’t moreover for illustration sweets). I emotion Soo-jung’s narration pinch his brother-in-law Gyun (RIP!) and his daughter, but arsenic a husband, I’m giving him antagonistic marks. Ha Jung-woo is awesome successful this role. I someway dislike him and yet americium rooting for him to propulsion disconnected this crazy scheme. The full kidnapping thought was atrocious and stupid, yet hilarious. (Hwal-sung slow taking retired much and much 50,000 won bills to bribe nan convenience shop part-timer cracked maine up.) I person nary thought really nan communicative will unravel, but I’m fresh to beryllium conscionable arsenic stressed arsenic Soo-jung arsenic I watch.

The Practical Guide to Love: I deliberation I’d bask nan play much if each of our characters were successful their 20s, but correct now nan communicative is dense connected vexation and ray connected swooniness. Our leads are acting immature to a level that feels unnatural to their ages and it’s taking maine retired of nan story. There are still immoderate tiny moments, but I find them little compelling now that we’re halfway through; I thought we’d person much advancement connected an existent relationship. At slightest Hyun-min and Seung-joon’s narration is seeing immoderate movement, but I’d alternatively spot much of our leads making headway connected really becoming fellow and girlfriend. And please, little of nan Eui-young’s hoobae!

I Dol I: What a satisfying wrap-up! Sure, location was immoderate crippled slippage pinch really nan lawsuit was handled (no 1 looked successful that earring? Really??), but by nan clip we deed nan Hye-joo reveal, I was afloat digging it (the psych ward twist was good!). Did I want to spot much of nan lawsuit unfold? Yes… but I forgive them because nan ending was overmuch richer than nan accustomed time-jump rubber-stamp happy ending. They took their clip to necktie everything up, and I liked it. His mother didn’t merit nan oliva branch imho, but Prosecutor Gwak’s full arc was 1 of my favourite parts of this drama. Well, isolated from nan excessively tiny fangirl ending. I was pouring from those 2 by nan end!! But nan existent golden badge goes to nan drama’s stylists, who took our Gold Boys from being depressed, quarrelsome, angsty, regular-looking dudes and transformed them into K-pop gods, replete pinch colored contacts, expertly gelled hair, and cleanable jewelry and manner styling. I genuinely enjoyed nan attraction and extent that went into this story, whether it was giving it meaningful affectional beats, aliases conscionable hitting those token moments that induce nan fangirl squees.
