Don't Let Sibling Rivalry Get In The Way Of Family Business, Yong Joon!

I just like itching to write another update on "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" -- which starts to highlight the sibling rivalry between the male protagonist Yong Joon and his older brother Seong Yun. At first, the female protagonist Mi So has no idea yet that the two are brothers. All she knows of Seong Yun is that he's using the pen name "Morpheus".

I was thinking of the scene where Yong Joon wants to propose to Mi So but it's cut short because he catches his older brother. It's somewhat implied that Seong Yun has feelings for Mi So creating a love triangle between brothers. Seong Yun offers a copy of his book to Mi So -- only for Yong Joon to come out and literally shove it to Seong Yun! This causes a lot of trouble especially when Mi So wants to endorse Seong Yun for the grand opening. She has zero idea that they are brothers until it's revealed later in the series.

There's the rather serious scene where Yong Joon and Seong Yun are having another conversation. It's another attempt to stop their sibling rivalry. Yong Joon refuses to admit whatever feelings he has. Maybe, he's hated Yong Joon for not participating in their family business and instead -- succeeded on his own as a writer. It feels like that there's some jealousy of the younger brother towards the older brother -- because he may have long wanted to succeed on his own. It's not that Yong Jun isn't successful -- I guess seeing his older brother succeed on his own terms must be very envy-worthy!

What I really love is how Yong Jun starts to defrost this way -- not only does he learn to say I'm sorry to Mi So but he finally agrees to let his brother (for once) help out in the launching. This causes a series of hilarious (and serious) confusions -- especially when the episode ends up with Yong Joon's attempt to kiss Mi So end up in an awkward failure.

I can't wait to watch the sixth episode this week and for the next weeks to come. Annyeong!

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her. The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think. Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
