| Finding the gems among the stones [Year In Review, Part 2] Posted: 23 Dec 2010 08:30 PM PST What a fascinating roller coaster of a ride this year has been. There were many disappointments (most of which I stopped watching halfway, because Life Is Too Short For Bad Dramas (copyright Gangsta Kitteh and hjkomo)), but also so many unexpected gems that shone with a light that proved impossible to stifle. Maybe it’s just the swan song before an untimely death, but in 2010 at least, K-dramas had their moment of rebellion and glory. And I. Am. Ecstatic. The following are divided between long dramas and short dramas, and are in alphabetical order.

| Lots and lots of Dream High stills Posted: 23 Dec 2010 04:00 PM PST So here’s a whole mess of stills from the upcoming KBS drama Dream High, which is probably most known because it’s the collaboration of actor-mini-mogul Bae Yong-joon and kpop producer/svengali Park Jin-young, and stars lots of young idol stars. It’s for those three reasons that I’ve been pretty leery of the drama, not because I hate kpop (I do like it, promise!) but because I feel like it’s hard enough to get dramas right when the production is in the hands of people who are experts at it. When you throw a bunch of people in there who are totally green and not experienced in this world, it’s a crapshoot at best. But even so, I still want to hope for the best, because I have a soft spot for high school dramas (there really aren’t enough of those — at least not good ones) and youthful exuberance. And I do kinda like that you can take the title as a noun and a verb (as in, high school of dreams and “Dream high!”).

| Kim Hyun-joo takes on new drama project Posted: 23 Dec 2010 11:26 AM PST A year and a half after her last drama (lawyer drama Partner), Kim Hyun-joo is coming back for another one, a weekend show this time called 반짝반짝 빛나는, which translates to Twinkling or Sparkling (still a working title). Taking a little bit of poetic license, you might also translate it more prettily to All That Glitters. The MBC series is described as one woman’s success story after her life is turned around due to someone else’s mistake. Kim plays the lead character Han Jung-won, who’s born unlucky. I expect she’ll bring a warmth and gentle spirit to the role, which she’s so good at delivering. While I rarely watch MBC weekend dramas, I’m actually a little bit excited for this, because directing is PD Noh Do-chul, which has my immediate attention; he brought his fresh, interesting directing style to quirky shows like vampire sitcom Hello Franceska and one of my all-time favorites, Soulmate. Eee! If he can bring that same refreshing energy to this, I’m SOLD. (He also worked on General Hospital 2, which I could never get into.) Writer Bae Yu-mi wrote I Really Really Like You and Who Are You?, which makes me tentatively hopeful; both were flawed but charming shows that had bright, comedic moments as well as some heartfelt stuff. All That Glitters is being prepped to take Gloria’s place and plans to begin its broadcast in February. I haven’t seen an estimated episode count yet, but given precedent there’s a good chance this’ll be a 50-episoder. Aw man, I may actually have to watch a long drama now. Via Kuki News RELATED POSTS
