[mslee's thoughts] Emergency Man and Woman First Impression - Ridiculously Funny Yet Intriguing


A new drama premiered via tvN this Friday Jan. 24, 2014. Emergency Man and Woman, a new romance/comedy. Choi Jin Hyuk and Song Ji Hyo played a couple who married young but divorced only after a short time.

A drama that I anticipated because Choi Jin Hyuk is the lead actor. Actually, he captivated me during his role as Kim Won in The Heirs as the older brother of Kim Tan played by Lee Min Ho. After the drama ended, I hoped for his own lead role and thankfully, I did not wait for along time.

First impression? Hmmm....I know there will be funny scenes just by watching the teasers, yet still surprised how ridiculously funny most of the scenes are. The petty fights, the endless arguing, the foul mouth degrading of a husband to his wife, the arrogance of the resident doctor to his interns, the chaos, all these scenes are mostly cliches' in a typical Korean drama that I find absurd and outrageous and sometimes unbelievable yet at the same time intrigued to know more.

Oh Jin Hee [SJH] and Oh Chang Min [CJH] with their non stop fighting while married to each other decided to divorce and live separately. Both resumed studies and ironically, both pursue the same dream to be doctors. Becoming interns made their world smaller, too. They went to the same hospital to be resident interns. Surprised at seeing each other again, insults were soon thrown at each other as if they were in a volleyball match. They can't stand each other, considering they were once a couple. No one knew among the team that they were married before least know each other.

As expected, I finished the first episode intrigued to know what will happen next. So I watched episode 2 and though I am already anticipating some scenes to be volatile every time they saw each other in the midst of the already busy and chaotic emergency rooms, still I find myself grinning at this impossible couple.

 Then there is this resident devil doctor in the ER who scared every interns that are duty under his watch. I find him cute and charming, this doctor Kook Cheon Soo. His first encounter with Oh Jin Hee was not good, yet I think he will be nice to her in the future.

Well, I think I did enjoy the drama and will wait for the third episode. Just hoping that the writer will lessen some ridiculous scenes but maintain the fun.

Final episode [20] ... Recap... Tae Sang agreed to marry Seung Jo. SJ excited. MD went to TS office, talked with TS then SJ came in and TS announced to MD they are getting married. MD, a bit surprised or not, with her poker face [but there is conflicting emotions there] congratulated the couple. MD dreamed of TS...in the bookstore, they were still together happily bantering at each other. Woke up, found it was only a dream. Went to their old home, to the bookstore, realized it's not real and stared with tears at the chalkboard, at the bookstore. [regret is written on her face] TS and Tae Min went to mom's shop, mom cried seeing TM. A small family reunion followed. Wedding pictorial for the couple. Yong Gap told SJ about what really happened to the missing person whom TS mom eloped with. He died accidentally when he fell on the stairs. MD and JH talked and seemed like breaking up. [well, what they did was wrong so they surely won't be happy toget

[mslee's thoughts] The King's Face Episode 23 Final Screen caps and Review

Image
Finally I am writing my thoughts on episode 23. Even in this last episode, the King never took time to understand the heart of Prince Gwang Hae. It was so easy for him to think that Prince Gwang Hae will take his seat away from him. Yes, Gwang Hae admitted thinking of being a King but it does not mean he has a mind that could be accused of treason. Prince Gwang Hae advised his father that it should be the people he must worry about and not his face because what happens to the lives of the people makes a King's face. The King has not had the face of a king until now because he lacked the understanding and the heart of what his duty entails. His people are not happy and still suffers that's why those transcend to him as the King who over looks on them, giving him the face of not suited to be King. The advise was so honestly brutal that the King's anger to Gwang Hae made him ill and the fact that  the poison Ga Hee mixed with his tea already s

[mslee's thoughts] Ep. 15 & 16 - Secret Final Review

Image
Honestly, I was not so eager to watch the final 2 episodes. Why? Perhaps I know the story is nearing it's end and there'll be no more Secrets to look forward to next week, Why do great dramas end so fast? Hmmm...sighing here. this is somewhat long... Episode 15 Anyway, last week's ending was another cliffhanger for viewers. The question hanging in my mind was, will Do Hoon win in this game he planned? Yes, it is like a game of hide and seek, hiding secrets and seeking the truth. Yoo Jung finally had the courage to go on and file a complaint against DH for abandoning her father leading to his death. Even as she warned him that she will go through with it, DH was initially shaken but he did not let her undermine him. He was afraid for himself, the reason he gathered all the documents that will make the two companies shake. By this time, DH knew what he had to do to survive. Se Yeon was clouded by her obsession, not even considering what those documents will d
