Impression of The Master of Revenge aka Master - God of Noodles




I will call this an impression because I didn't watch all the episodes but I did watch the first few and the end. It starts off kind of good but then it spirals into predictability. The ending was terrible and happened so fast. I suggest you skip this drama and watching Oh Hae-Young or Beautiful Mind. 

The show stars Chun Jung-Myung as a young man out for revenge against a man who stole everything from him. He is brought up in an orphanage and has 3 great friends all who have different paths in life. Due to a tragic even the four friends split up but eventually make it back to each other. It's a tough road for the four of them and not everyone makes it out alive. 



Despite the terrible ending, I do like this cast. 

Cho Jae-hyun does a wonderful job as the main villain. I've seen him in a few films and I have been impressed with his talent. He does a lot of Kim Ki-duk films, so some people might not recognize him. I've actually never seen him play a sane character before, that would be interesting to see. 

Dramas:

Piano
New Heart
Syndrome
Punch
Take Care of My Dad
Assembly





The beautiful Jeong Yu-mi who I have loved watching since Assorted Gems. She
stars as the love interest of Chun Jung-Myung's character and is a prosecutor. 

Dramas:

King Sejong the Great
Painter of the Wind
Assorted Gems
Dong Yi
A Thousand Days' Promise
Rooftop Prince
Wonderful Mama
Maids
Six Flying Dragons



Lee Sang-yeob as Park Tae-ha who is one of the four friends who is very selfless. He is the kind of film you would want around you.

Dramas:

King Sejong the Great
Midas
Miss Ripley
The Innocent Man
House of Bluebird
Signal

First impressions of Beautiful Mind



A Beautiful Mind is a 16 episode Korean drama currently on-air. It stars Jang Hyuk as a neurosurgeon with no sympathy and Park So-Dam as a naive cop who is all about doing the right thing. It is my first time seeing Park So-Dam so far I'm not too impressed but I'm very impressed with Jang Hyuk. 

I've seen Jang Hyuk in Searching for an Elephant, Five Senses of Eros, Maybe, The Client, The Flu, and Innocent Thing. So he's not new to me but his performance in this is far better than anything else I've seen from him. His character is so dark but at the same time vulnerable. It's a very difficult character to play so I have to tip my hat to him. Only 7 episodes have been aired but this is my favorite drama of 2016 so far. I often don't wait for the subs to be fully translated into English, I have to thank Viki. 

Lee Young Oh (Jang Hyuk) is a neurosurgeon who his father calls a monster as he lacks emotion and has been taught how to analyze body language in order to understand emotions.  Eventually, Lee Young Oh is left alone in this world after he is betrayed rather harshly. In comes Gye Jin Sung (Park So Dam) a traffic cop who is a bit naive that Lee Young Oh seems to like to play with. When he has no one left will Gye Jin Sung rush into his life in order to save him and make him "human"?

The Return of Superman

I have started to binge on this show, I watched a few episodes in the past. I re-discovered it when I signed back onto DramaFever for the first time in a few months. I think the show is really cute and I enjoy seeing the family structure plus all the cute moments. It's a good show to watch if you need something to uplift your mood to get you to a better place even for a moment.

I love to see how the dads freak out once the mother's leave, their expressions are priceless. It's a good show for those that want to go to Korea as you will see many places and get to see places from the point of view of Korean stars as well as their children. There is one star who lives in Japan so you can see some parts of Japanese life as well.

It's not a scandal but it is a scandal if you don't watch it. Corny haha, well enjoy the show and I'll be back tomorrow with more scandals to showcase.
