The Problematic of the Unproblematic

Dewaani: The puzzle pieces are starting to come together as both Eun Ho and Jung Eun start finding things out. While this means that their worlds are starting to come together, it pretty much means that all the other players' worlds are starting to fall apart. This doesn't look like it's going to be pretty, well everyone is still gorgeous looking, but you know what I mean. JoAnne: I'm only going to look at you from now on, Oppa. EunDong-ah, hwaiting!

All this dancing around the truth, dancing around feelings, almost knowing things...it's nerve-wracking. Thank goodness we have Joo Jin Mo being cute and boyish to sustain us! I don't know about you, but I feel very sustained.  Oh most definitely. I am so very glad that cute and adorable Joo Jin Mo is such an intricate part of this drama. His smiley-ness is constantly threatening to do me in.  We all wait, alone, dreaming to Joo Jin Mo in our ear.  Don't we?

Cute and smiling Joo Jin Mo is a treat.  Since we still have no idea where the story will take us, shall we pretend for now that we've never seen a K-Drama and that this will end with unicorns and rainbows? Oh yes! Let's! Smiley Joo Jin Mo is maybe my newest favourite thing. Pleeeeeaaaaase drama make sure he smiles lots more before the inevitable sad-face-crying Joo Jin Mo.  Episode 3 Ji Eun Ho is charmingly self-deprecating as he allows himself to be questioned at the start of his press conference, and he is very forthcoming about his purpose. He confirms that he is writing his autobiography as a means to find someone, and he offers her name slowly, so that they can be sure to mention it correctly. She is Ji Eun Dong, and she is not just his first love, but his fiancée. I think those reporters are definitely fan girls. I mean, who asks about abs at a news conference?!?! Actually, Eun Ho, please show us those abs. I don't believe you that you haven't been workin...

Episode 2 It's 2015 again and famous actor Eun Ho stares into the distance while sitting under a tree, holding what looks like an engagement ring in his hand. Is it mine? No? We'll see about that.

Hi there dramaworld! Guest blogger Dewaanifordrama here. Normally I blog over at  Samsoon Down the Rabbit Hole   but the lovely ladies of PotUP are good friends. Um, what else, I live in South Korea right now and I teach English at a university there, but really I'm just a culturally confused, K-drama-loving citizen of the world who stays up too late on Twitter so I can hang out with all my awesome Tweeple. I'm excited to recap this with JoAnne! JoAnne: You all know D, right? So happy she wanted to do this with me! We have this friend who neeeeds the recaps, for reasons. Who are we to say no? So let's get to it, shall we? After all... someone is waiting for us

A few months ago, I was struggling to condense my thoughts about Jung-Yi: Goddess of Fire into a coherent evaluation. After enduring all 32 episodes I felt like I owed it to myself to write something about it, but I was getting nowhere, and on impulse I started watching Padam Padam... The Sound of His and Her Heartbeats as avoidance. Padam Padam was in my queue because I had recently seen the film The Good, The Bad, and The Weird , and had been intrigued by Jung Woo-Sung (who played The Good), but I discovered immediately that his costar in Padam Padam was none other than Kim Bum, whom I had just seen in GoF . Not long after that I realized that another show in my queue, That Winter, the Wind Blows , was also a Kim Bum drama, and an idea was born to watch them all back-to-back and review them together, along with Boys Over Flowers , which I watched more than a year ago but never wrote about. In the interest of completeness, I even added The Woman ...
