One Zombie, Sharing Her Love of all Things Hallyu With The World
Well my friends, this drama is finally over and honestly, all I can say is, “Finally!” After suffering through so many episodes of ridiculousness, I can’t say I’m sorry to see this one go. Especially not after the crappy episodes that made up this finale… Ugh! Continue reading “ZOMBIE’S DRAMA REVIEW: Please Come Back, Mister Episodes 15-16”
A lot of my questions were answered in these next two episodes, which is nice, seeing as how the final two episodes have just aired. However, I do have to wonder, will my last few lingering questions be answered before the end and if they are, will I even like the answers?

I’m pleased to announce that my vote of confidence in Lee Hae Joon hasn’t been completely misplaced. However, I can’t quite figure out if that’s because Hae Joon is actually becoming a better person or if it’s because so much other craziness went on in these two episodes that he kinda got lost in the background. Either way, this next set of episodes caught me completely off-guard which, I’m really kinda liking. I think. Continue reading “ZOMBIE’S DRAMA REVIEW: Please Come Back, Mister Episodes 11-12”
I’ve been trying really hard these past few episodes, to find some sort of redemption in Rain’s character. Up to this point he’s been a total sleaze-bag and I’ve been completely disappointed in his actions up to this point. However, I’m starting to see a glimmer a hope for him and that makes me feel like there may be redemption for him yet. Continue reading “ZOMBIE’S DRAMA REVIEW: Please Come Back, Mister Episodes 9-10”
Every time I sit down to watch another set of episodes of this drama, I come with the hope that Hae Joon will finally get a clue and stop being a total dip. But every time I wrap up another set of episodes I walk away completely disappointed. I’d really like to believe this won’t always be the case but we’ve reached the half-way point of this dram and if things don’t change soon, they’re not ever going to change at all. *sigh* Continue reading “ZOMBIE’S DRAMA REVIEW: Please Come Back, Mister Episodes 7-8”
Despite the fact I spent a lot of time feeling like Hae Joon/Young Soo needed a good punch in the face, I still found myself enjoying these next two episodes. Though now that I think about it, that’s probably because watching Oh Yeon Seo act like a tough thug is nothing short of hilarious. Seriously, almost every time Hong Nan is on-screen, I nearly fall out of my chair laughing. Too bad the same can’t be said whenever Rain makes an appearance… *sigh* Will there ever come a day when Rain stars in a drama I actually enjoy watching? (Ouch! That was a bit harsh, wasn’t it?) Continue reading “ZOMBIE’S DRAMA REVIEW: Please Come Back, Mister Episodes 5-6”
I’m now four episodes into this drama and I have to say, I’m still very much enjoying it. Sure, that may have something to do with the fact Rain’s abs keep showing up in unexpected places but let’s be honest here, that will never get old. All abs aside, this story is still as intriguing to me as it was after watching the first two episodes so let’s dive into these next two episodes and see if any of the questions I asked last week were answered in these next two episodes. Continue reading “ZOMBIE’S DRAMA REVIEW: Please Come Back, Mister Episodes 3-4”
So I finally had a chance to sit down and check out some of the new dramas that have recently started airing and I was so intrigued by Rain‘s new drama, Please Come Back, Mister, I’m now sitting here, ready to dive into this crazy world of supernatural train stations and second chances. Care to join me? Continue reading “ZOMBIE’S DRAMA REVIEW: Please Come Back, Mister Episodes 1-2”
As you can tell, I’m not Zombie Mamma (sorry). Like Karen did last week, I am filling in for her. Don’t worry, she’ll be back next week and all will be back to normal.
For this week’s Friday Night Drama, I bring you one of the best romantic comedies with a great ending (a rare thing in the K-Drama world :p): All About My Romance starring Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Min Jung. Have you ever watched a drama and complained about too many useless side characters? Well then you’re in luck, there are zero useless characters here and everyone somehow contributes to the story. I know not everyone is into political dramas especially when they’re wrapped up as comedies, but this one really did good in the balancing department. The politics portion can be a bit overwhelming at times in the beginning, but that takes a backseat when Kim Soo Young (SHK) and Noh Min Young (LMJ) starts up.
Let’s give a little bit of a background on this one, Soo Young and Min Young are from two different political parties and end up having a secret relationship, why? Because how else would they be able to date without anyone interfering? Well sneaking around isn’t as good as one would like to think and our dear couple spent a lot of time hiding out from their colleagues in dressing rooms, under tables, and they just sometimes ran away.
Of course with this being a rom com, or K-Drama in general, the couple can’t be happy all the way ’til the end. It’s just K-Drama Rule #501 that states we must have a second lead who never gets a hint that the main lead doesn’t like them. I mean, it has to happen in order for the OTP to be happy. So who’s the second lead who has to have Soo Young all to herself? Reporter Ahn Hee Sun who has followed Soo Young around for years in hopes that she can finally win his heart, but alas that isn’t possible. I mean, Min Young already kissed his chest before they got together so it was only a matter of time before it become official.
Without giving too much away, each character was funny in their own way from Soo Young’s aides to Min Young’s colleagues and even her own family. The comedic timing was perfect and there wasn’t a dull moment in this 16 episode series. So if you want to watch a fun, light-hearted drama to give a balance to all those melos/revenge dramas you’re watching, try All About My Romance.
Fun Fact: This is actually based on a novel of the same title by Lee Eung Joon.
