Alchemy of Souls: All caught up and no place to go. I detest a drama hiatus! The one issues to do whereas I wait are: a) not panic in regards to the impending finish; b) not panic in regards to the impending forged change; c) hold making Chisu and Hwansu jokes; d) discuss Shin Seung-ho’s eyebrows to anybody that may pay attention. And never in that order.

Alchemy of Souls: Amidst all the opposite methods this present has me by the heartstrings, one thing that notably stood out to me this week was how a lot I’m warming as much as Cho-yeon. I used to be pleased with her for standing up for herself to her mom, even when she wasn’t fairly prepared for every thing that may entail, and I discover myself rooting for her and Mu-deok’s reluctant friendship nearly as a lot as Wook’s and Prince Received’s (and that’s saying one thing!). As for the story general, I’m attempting to not suppose too laborious in regards to the finish, or that second season, and as a substitute simply hold having fun with the journey for no matter it decides to be.

Right now’s Webtoon: I can’t say that this drama is spectacular, nevertheless it’s simply the type of feel-good story that I’m within the temper to look at as a result of I’m nonetheless all melodrama-ed out (Thanks, Why Her?). The mini-stories that includes the webtoon artists are cute and spotlight the vitality and magic Ma-eum provides to the crew, however I’ve bought to confess that I dwell for all of the details about her previous as a judo athlete. Individuals hold underestimating her as a result of she lacks the anticipated expertise and training for the trade, so I adore it at any time when she’s in a position to bust out her athleticism to point out that she has different strengths — actually and figuratively — and is an knowledgeable in a unique discipline.
Extraordinary Legal professional Woo: I’ve efficiently transformed not one, however TWO of my coworkers into Legal professional Woo followers! So far as I’m conscious, neither of them have watched a Okay-drama earlier than, and they’re the third and forth co-workers that I’ve efficiently satisfied to look at a drama. Slowly however absolutely I’m going to show everybody within the workplace constructing into Korean drama lovers! Mwahahaha! Like everybody else, although, I’m a bit involved with how the story will wrap up in its finale week. I swear, if this turns into one other Twenty 5 Twenty One scenario, I’m going to breathe fireplace. I’d hate to suppose I launched my coworkers to a very good drama, just for us all to be disillusioned by the ending. Sending optimistic vibes to the drama gods!

It’s Stunning Now: This was a tricky week! I knew it was coming, however the father-daughter reveal hit me laborious. Poor Mi-rae and Hyun-jae! I really feel unhealthy for everybody concerned within the scenario, however by some means, it’s Min-woo I’m most fearful about. Everybody within the household is anxious about grandpa, and rightfully so, however in some unspecified time in the future I used to be anticipating his spouse and the boys to ask how their father feels about all of this. It doesn’t even assist that the opposite aunt from upstairs is simply harping on about blood relationships, inheritance and whatnots. Pfft.
Right now’s Webtoon: I don’t understand how she does it, however there isn’t a Kim Se-jung character I don’t fall in love with. And now Ma-eum has joined the ranks of characters who’ve my entire coronary heart. My coronary heart additionally went out to the black and white comedian man, and I simply wish to defend him. I hope the webtoon crew picks him and sends him to Ma-eum for mentoring. Lord is aware of she’s in a very good place so as to add some coloration to his world.

Extraordinary Legal professional Woo: I’m not fairly updated, however I’ve fallen laborious for this present. It’s all right down to the completely marvelous Park Eun-bin, who’s appearing her socks off in each single scene. And wow, what scenes! Each episode is as thought-provoking as it’s enjoyable: it’s clear that regardless of the subject, the writers have completed their homework. Granted, it’s not all the time good; the kid kidnapping plot was an actual bust, for me. (Wow, what a sentence…! However actually, my safeguarding instincts have been blaring loud sufficient to drown out all keen suspension of disbelief.) Nonetheless, regardless of the occasional misfire, this present largely leaves me delighted, giddily amused and stuffed with surprisingly intense feelings about whales. Plus, full marks to them for doing probably the greatest moments of incidental queer illustration I’ve seen shortly! That half’s small, nevertheless it’s good to see a present that cares. And this present actually does care about every thing — above all, that’s the great thing about it.
