I just finished watching all the teasers for Remember and I think I’d watch this drama just for Park Sung Woong’s gloriously ridiculous and flashy suits. The purple one in the courtroom scene is definitely my fave so far. (Also his back tattoo! It’s on SBS – won’t they have to censor that out?)

This is a debut drama for the writer, although his debut film was well-received and broke some box-office records. So I’m mildly optimistic that we’ll have more of a cinematic feel to the drama, even though it looks like the director is just one of SBS-loyal directors on hand. While he hasn’t done much that I’m familiar with so I’m not totally sure of his style, he was one of the directors of Giant, which I find promising.

Still a bit wary, though. Way too many tears in the teasers to instill confidence for the show not going totally melo.

(PS – I’m watching The Attorney on Hulu right now just to get a feel for this writer’s previous work. Also am excited because it has Im Siwan and Lee Sung Min and, as y’all know, my love for Misaeng will never die.)

My local arts complex had a Cyber Monday sale (for unpopular nights and non-automatically sell-out shows) and I just got tickets to 5 Broadway/Off-Broadway style shows for about what it costs me to buy me a ticket to a k-pop concert.

Clearly I have my priorities straight when it comes to my “fun” money.

Things to do this week: get caught up on SFD because I have no other drama commitments and it’s now or never.

N.EX.T – “Fly, Chick”

As heard in ep 11 of Bubblegum.

This ep of Bubblegum has absolutely no Jung Ryeo Won (or Kang Dong Wook, or any of the supporting cast we’ve come to love), yet it was absolutely delightful, beautiful, and bittersweet to see all the bits of flashbacks come together in a cohesive narrative.

I said it before – I didn’t sign up for such a deeply heart-felt drama about the pain of losing someone (or your memories), but it’s so richly and wonderfully composed that I still can’t help but love it. No matter how much my heart hurts.
