Be My Man(ny)

The past two recent posts all I've been writing about is Korean drama and Korean music, but what can I say. They're much more entertaining and better than American TV. I've always kept up with my dramas and couldn't put it down. I just absolutely loved them! However, starting last August when school came back I couldn't watch many of them. Soon I started to put a list of what episodes I need to watch next as a reminder on my comp. Now I watch up to 3-5 episodes a week. It's not just k-drama, but variety shows as well - mostly of 'We Got Married'. It's all because I have to watch my beloved Nickhun and David Oh. Some dramas I just can't grasp onto anymore. Like the tvN drama, Manny.


At first, when I was reading the synopsis I was effy about this drama/show. It just didn't sound like my type of genre. But hey what can a girl do when she's bored and all the other dramas aren't yet subbed or uploaded yet. At first it was really interesting because I love watching all the CSI shows , Combat Hospital, Grey's Anatomy, and such. It was interesting how the character, Lee Han, helps children not only as a manny, but as a therapist in a way. Not only is Seo Ji Seok who plays the character, Lee Han, is pretty cute. But as the drama later drags on it got boring. Maybe it's because I've watched too manny TV that I know what the endings will be like. The female lead character, Seo Do Yeong, played by Choi Jeong Yoon, is whiny, emotional, and generally cries too much. She lacks self-confidence/esteem. It's tiring to watch her whine every episode. However, the show doesn't just focuses on the lives of these two characters. It also shows the life of Do Yeong's older sister, Janice, played by the famous Byeon Jeong Soo (who was in Past - the first ever k-drama I've seen). I can't really put this into words right now, but Janice basically owns a modeling agency. And so it covers Janice's life, her work, and her secretary, and two of her models. Who I might say one of them is quite gorgeous. As well as the lives of Do Yeong's two children.

I was hoping that Lee Han will diagnose some more problems that the kids have, but no it just some crazy, no sense plot that goes on. The little boy is just adorable! I have two episodes left until the finale. However, I just can't get myself to finish watching and also the fact that dramacrazy won't let play it. This drama goes into the bookmark of Ok Dramas. The chemistry between the characters just wasn't there. And the storyline was just a flatline for me.

This is the first time I've ever written an 're-cap'/critique about a drama. I just usually tell myself. But I feel like writing in here since I haven't wrote on here for over a month! Please don't write smack about just because I wrote a mere critique about a drama. It's my first time. Give me a break! :p Good night everyone! Off to watch Miss Ripley..yay...another drama that I don't feel like watching, but I must. Can't stop the train now! ^^
