rosdriseI finally got around to finishing Faith and it was ... alright? I guess? There were plenty of moments along the way where I was ready to drop it, but then something interesting would happen of Gongmin and Noguk would have a scene together and it would suck me back in. In the end it was a much more solid romance than it was a time-travel or political intrigue story. Because honestly, it all felt really weak to me. I think the biggest issue was probably the directing/editing. It never flowed exceptionally well. I think the actors did what they could, and there were some solid plot ideas in there. It just, like I said, never truly came together as an entire, fulfilling story.
For I while I was wondering if I was just over the whole drama thing, because my watching habits have withered away to almost nothing. BUT! I started Queen In-hyun's Man and I looooooove it. I'm six episodes in and I love everything about it. The leads are excellent, the story is compelling (both dramatic, funny, and swoon worthy), and the time-travel aspect is really well implemented. My only major issue is the mustache-twirling nature of the baddie, who likes to sit alone in a dark room repeating a phrase the hero said over and over again. But that's an issue fairly commonplace in dramas.
It also probably doesn't hurt that it's a cable show and is therefor only around 40 minutes an episode. But the episodes move at such a good clip, and it's pieces together so well, those 40 minutes fly by for me.
What is everyone else watching? I feel so out of the loop right now.

Date: 2012-11-15 10:24 pm (UTC)I'm juggling so many dramas right now. After a long drought of nothing interesting, I'm watching Drama Go Go Go & Love, Now (Tdramas), Can We Get Married & Ohlala Spouses (kdramas) and Monsters (Yamapi!!). None of them are epic but they're all fun. I'm also debating I Miss You just for Yoon Eun Hye but the angst - i don't know if I can take it.
