Numbers

It’s a revenge drama about a young man, who starts working at the prestigious, but corrupted accounting firm. He wants to take it down from within, because that firm was responsible for destroying his grandfather’s company and his life.

I enjoyed the first two episodes, but right now I feel like I want to watch it mainly so I can read and enjoy Dramabeans review. Because the review of those first two episodes was hilarious and it made me laugh. For instance this:

“I chose this drama for one reason: to see implausibly attractive accountants tussle over spreadsheets like warriors locking eyes across a battlefield.”

Heh, that was my reason, too. That and the presence of Choi Jin Hyuk as one of the leads. I loved him in Tunnel and wanted to see him in something else.

And I have to say that it reminds me a bit of The Devil Judge. I mean – there is a charismatic and morally ambiguous older man, who is using an idealistic younger man for his own goal, and slowly starts to become emotionally attached to him. Chemistry is not as explosive between two male leads in this drama as it was in The Devil Judge, but still, it’s there and it’s nice. And I do ship them a little already.

This drama is available on VIKI.


The Veil

I missed my beloved Nam Goong Min so I started The Veil re-watch. And really this drama wouldn’t be even half as good without him. And I appreciate again how you take one look at Han Ji Hyuk and you can clearly see that he’s a ticking time bomb that will explode for sure, you’re just not certain when or what will set it off.


Heartbeat

Taecyeon’s new vampire drama started airing (on Amazon Prime), and I glanced on Dramabeans review of the first two episodes. Their opinion is that it’s cheesy and fun. Something for me then. 😊 I think I’ll wait until a few more episodes air, and then I will decide if I want to pay for another subscription or if I want to try finding it through other sources.

Cheesy vampire dramas are definitely my thing although the description on MDL and Prime make it sound more like a romance than anything. Still... *bookmarks* Ta! :D

[maggie33]

Vampire dramas, cheesy or serious, are my thing, too. And the romance probably is a big part of that drama, but still for Taecyeon I'm willing to try it. :)

PLEASE NO SPOILERS (we're only about six episodes in) but we are currently enjoying his unhinged performance in Vincenzo!

[maggie33]

I will only say that there are so many good things still before. And that Jang Han Seok is one of my favorite Kdrama villains. :)

Thanks, I'm putting Numbers on my list.

[maggie33]

I really hope the next episodes will live up to my expectations. I want it to be good so much.

I just watched the Heartbeat trailer on YouTube -- hee! It looks great. (I wonder if it's trying a bit to be Tale of the Nine-Tailed?)

[maggie33]

I haven't watched Tale of the Nine-Tailed, so I can't answer that question. I just want it to be cheesy and fun as the review said it was. Will report back when I check it out. :)

ooooh, this is the second recent show that "feels" a bit like the devil judge, and i gotta say i'm liking the trend! the first two eps were very enjoyable; can't wait for more. plus i've only seen choi jin hyuk in comedies so far, so it's really nice to watch him in a dramatic role.

[maggie33]

There are two more eps now, but I still haven't watched them. I plan to watch at least the 3rd episode tonight. Here is hoping it is as enjoyable as the first two eps. :)

Yes! Heartbeat started airing! \o/ I actually don't think they made him look attractive in it - I keep looking at his ears :DDDD, but the humor is quite nice so far.

[maggie33]

Aww, I love Taecyeon's ears. They're cute. :D And it's good to know that the humor is nice.
