Stop the press! Que Sera Sera has been added back to Viki! This is one of the most delightfully messed up, complicated, ugly, petty, fascinating and sultry k-dramas ever! It also has my favorite kiss scene of all time…
I didn’t even have to wait long for this amazing scene, they popped it right into the end of episode three. When a gigolo decides to give a cute virgin her first kiss in a stalled elevator and that gigolo is played by Eric Moon, you know you’re going to get a good lesson in smooching. There’s a point where he’s leaning in and she’s all nervously clenching her fists and squeezing her eyes shut and he smirks… that smug little smile just did me in. And then her wide eyes response! “More, please!” I died.
It’s a toxic mess.
Which is, honestly, my preference in romance tropes.
This is a distinctively 2007 drama. Sleazy men and women, lots of realistic economic desperation driven decisions, men behaving badly, women behaving badly, poor judgement and frustratingly wild characters.
I loved it. And haven’t seen it in years… so excited to be firing up this gem today.

"Shipped the actors but not the characters"
I actually shipped the characters in this case as well

DEATH'S GAME: PART 1
GENRES: Drama, Supernatural
SUMMARY: Caught in a game of punishing resurrection, a man who took his own life tries to find meaning in hanging on.
THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Pillar demons, citron tea, hundreds of cover letters, finding meaning in the mundane, fated connections, bullies, prison, male models, car chases, MMA, chair-fighting, gut-wrenching regret, hopelessness, redemption, and a dizzying number of A-list celebrities.
HOT TAKE: Episode 4 of this show broke me, hard. Although the plot is simple and a bit repetitive, every single acting performance is stellar. The character connections made with each new story gives the overarching experience real depth and emotion, and I can't wait for the second part coming in 2024.

DRAMA REVIEW | Perfect Marriage Revenge (2023)
There’s an argument to be made about how Perfect Marriage Revenge had a perfect execution because it was a 12 episodes long drama and didn’t waste time for unnecessary conflicts. Everything took its right time and was resolved in a cohesive way with the characters development.
Both leads were compelling and had amazing chemistry, but the secondary characters were equally interesting to watch. All the performances outstanding and you can tell the actors are enjoying themselves in their respective roles.
On a story about a woman looking for revenge against her own family, this kdrama had a perfect balance between makjang and romcom. Making it an easy and fun watch. I highly recommend it!
