Yeowoogakshibyeol

Why do Korean programs have heroines that are loud, nosey bumbling idiots with a huge sense of self? Why?

Airport and you have this woman weepy, bad mouthing everyone except herself. Ughh. I think the writers think it's funny to have her behave like a rat..it only demeaning and stupid.

Otherwise a powerful human interaction with the working of an airport beautifully woven into the story. The backdrop of a busy airport is a great backdrop to the complexity of human interactions.

Where the Stars Land (Yeowoogakshibyeol) had the potential to soar as the mighty planes in the background of this series, but it never quite took off. There was the potential for a few interesting main plot lines that the viewers could have boarded into that were left on the runway. Why did the writer go into a tail spin? Why did the writer clutter the series with too many plot lines only to crash, leaving them unfinished. The nose dive of the finale was a big disappointment of all the stories, it was grounded on the runway. There was a terrific cast fulfilling their roles, especially the male lead, Lee Jehoon! The actors showed up but stayed stuck at the gate too many times. My rating of 8 is based on the actors commitment to their roles with good performances and the landing of a few plot lines.

A Simple drama with a cozy feeling to it. I wasn't going to watch it at first, as the description wasn't that appealing. Also, the first episode was just so so, with nothing interesting to display. However, the story had more to it than just Incheon employees. The robot parts twist was entertaining at first, as it was fascinating to try to figure out what was happening and why he had super human strength. Then, when it was explained properly his story, it became more humain and closer to a slice of life drama than a fantasy. However, I found the leading character dull. Not that the actor did a bad job with his performance. But the character was only presented as a man who hated his currant condition and was in love with the leading lady. So, that and the ending too. Too many stories were left open, questions were left unaswered and the final scene wasn't satisfying.

That's the question, worked really well, waiting for the west to take up the challenge. Netflix have only shown 16 episodes, so waiting for the next 16. But anything with Lee Je Hoon, main character or even as a supporting role is usually worth a watch. First series that we've seen Chae Soo Bin in, very impressed, she has the cute innocent look about her, just what Lee Je Hoon fragile character needed in this drama. But as per a lot of Korean dramas, the main character always has more than one suiter and there's the obligatory hook at the end of each episode. Again, Korean drama will need to stop having characters that over act like it's a Hollywood show set in the 1950's.

To be honest, I added this show to my watchlist because I liked the series cover visual. The short description of the show didn't convince me though so it actually took a while until I finally gave it a shot.

First things first: The description doesn't do it any justice. This show isn't about a common romantic relationship between two ordinary co-workers. The main plot is a little more complicated and unique than that. And you're gonna realize it in the first few episodes. Your curiosity is also what keeps you going at first.

Soon after, the chemistry between the main couple plus the supporting characters were what made me stay and also somewhat enjoy the show. In between, you're even served some nice life lessons and a few beautiful quotes.

Because this show kind of ended up being a mess. Too many side plots or characters that come and go and you never know what happened to them. In short: too many things left unresolved for the viewer. The relationship between the main couple, though I liked their characters and the chemistry between them, became a marathon of finding reasons why they couldn't be together and the reasons became more and more ridiculous towards the end until I couldn't understand their actions anymore AT ALL. And although that didn't keep me from continuing to watch the drama, it did get exhausting and kind of annoying towards the end.

Last but not least, the final scenes were unsatisfying to me although there is somewhat of a happy end.

In conclusion: It's a good show you won't regret watching but also one which won't make it into your favorites list for the reasons mentioned above.
