Two dramas which have totally different genre. 


There is no way out for Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Hyun Joong, both from Keyeast, competing against each other in Wednesday/Thursday timeslot next week. Kim Hyun Joong's new drama Inspiring Generation also known as Age of Feelings will start airing on the 15th via KBS and it will clash with Kim Soo Hyun's drama Man From The Stars via SBS. While Man From The Stars, a romance/comedy has been receiving a huge follower and high ratings somehow a new drama like Inspiring Generation  might pose as a rival with it's noir/romantic genre.

I have been a viewer of Man from The Star and I can say that the drama is not predictable and the story is engaging making viewers satisfy at each episode. The drama has a lot to offer still with the story progressing beautifully. But I am also one who is definitely waiting for Inspiring Generation, ottoke? The plot and trailers are all compelling. The background is set in the 1930's which brings a whole new dimension and feel to the story.

A face off between two actors from the same company. 

[an excerpt : http://www.soompi.com ]

Kim Hyun Joong was asked, “You are in the same agency as Kim Soo Hyun. Have you two discussed about your dramas?”
In response, the singer turned actor said, “Although I am in the same agency as Kim Soo Hyun, he is the popular icon. Also,Jun Ji Hyun is the original popular figure. Since my drama is competing against their drama, it is true that I feel burdened. I said to him to not be nervous, but I think both of us will be nervous while filming. However, our nervousness won’t change the dynamics. The viewers are the judge. I hope that both dramas will have a successful conclusion.”
-end-
With Kim Hyun Joong's response, I think that even though it may be awkward but it has to happen. And he is letting us the viewers pick our choice. But also wishing success for both drama.
There is no way out for this face off. Whether Inspiring Generation will affect the ratings of Man From The Star or not . ..what's important is that I believe that both drama will bring satisfaction to the viewers.

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
