11-Feb : Most memorable villain?

The most shocking villain from this year's dramas has to be Song Ha Yoon as Jung Soo Min in "Marry My Husband." The writer & the actors do a fabulous job of slowly revealing the villainy & it's so surprising & creepy - excellent twisty makjang.

Fight for My Way (rewatch)
(2017 - Viki, 16 1:00 eps)

4 friends in their late 20s with unrealized dreams & boring lives create a good friends-to-lovers story with incredible acting, a strong 2nd couple, & touching friendship.

A great Park Seo Joon role (he may be dressed better in others, but his acting shines here) - he plays a not-bright, vulnerable, desperate, yet talented man. Kim Ji Won is amazing. I also loved Song Ha Yoon's acting here - is she really the same actress as "Marry My Husband"'s villain? What a range.

A few tropes: a dark past, old enemies, & love triangles but since these are average people, it comes off differently. The 2nd couple's story is unexpected. There is romance & great MMA action, but the stars of this drama are young adults coming into their own, creating the lives they want for themselves, despite hardships.

Please Don't Date Him
(2020 - Viki, 10 1:00 eps)

A surprising but too short gem of a romCOM. There are plays on words, silly physical comedy & have you seen the- FL-needs-to-wear-ML's-clothing-for-some-reason trope turned upside down before? A great scene of a photo shoot for the "hot" firefighters calendar. A fun watch for all that, but layered enough to ponder.

FL, an anti-hacker, develops an AI fridge that gets a chip that can check on her friends' dates, but not her guy. We get a little mystery about the off-the-grid ML.

A lovely womance - which I wanted more of & the ML doesn't do all the rescuing. Questions about social media, AI, trusting our instincts, is using private data, even with good intentions, justified? It also looks at misogyny in relationships & the workplace. It was a nice production with great acting!

Marry My Husband
(2024 - Prime, 16 1:10 eps)

Changing fate by going back in time with the twist that fate is fate. Who ends up with that fate by changing their own behavior & circumstances is the story here.

A woman who has never stood up for herself dies at the hands of her cheating husband. Waking up 10 years earlier, she learns to advocate for herself.

Great acting by all - special mention for Park Min Young & Song Ha Yoon. Their commitment to their roles was evident. Lee Yi Kyung brings humor to his villain, which provides relief from the outright madness of the other antagonists.

The great side stories are relief from the revenge & craziness.

The show hit double digit ratings domestically & is trending internationally. It's a great watch.
