Yong Pal - When Grey's Anatomy Meets Crime Dramas?

Well, Yong Pal will be taken down from Netflix until August 17, 2020, that's until the license is renewed. This show was aired on GMA-7 before. This show is already five years old but it's still pretty good. Joo Woon of The Good Doctor acts as the new doctor named Kim Tae Hyun who gets the alias Yong Pal. This is where a badass sleeping beauty named Han Yeo Jin acted by Kim Tae Hee. Hmmm funny that the writer Jang Hyuk Rin should give the main protagonist a Kim Tae as his name while the secondary protagonist is acted by Kim Tae Hee. Tae Hee who's a badass beauty had been in many other projects like IRIS and Forbidden Love while being part of the typical love story genre. Yes, there's a love story involved as the protagonist Yong Pal enters into a marriage of convenience with Yeo Jin to save her.

What's amazing with the show for me is the medical themes mixed with insane action scenes. Family feud has wayward half-brother Han Doo Joon (Joo Hyun Jae) not awaken her from her medically induced coma. Gotta admit that actor Hyun Jae makes such a despicable villain feel more and more irritating that you sympathize with a vengeance-crazed Yeo Jin for some of her actions. Who wouldn't feel so bad when you were purposely kept asleep for three years and you're stuck in a nightmare. The conspiracy involved also has some medical procedures that you might want to check out. Also, you might end up getting your medical research or high school biology and chemistry books ready. I mean,t here's some science in this show! Though, if you're scared of blood then the viewer's discretion is advised!

The show gets more and more interesting with how things unfold. Yes, it turns out that Tae Hee actually had put herself in roles where you'd wonder if her character would pass away. Remember how Tae Hee played a character with leukemia in Love Story in Harvard? Here, it turns out that giving Yeo Jin doses of ethionine had led to her liver cancer. It's a vital organ and it's scary. I felt the cancer plot wasn't too random either. I mean, she was already fed with some chemicals along the way so it's only normal. Somehow, this show will make you interested more into anatomy IF you're not squeamish. I admit, I'm pretty squeamish myself too!

"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
