Slice Of Life - KDrama Addict

The series starts off on a very engaging note. I think this was LJG's comeback Kdrama series after he went on a break for a few years. As with all LJG series, this one keeps you hooked. Racy, filled with action, this legal drama will keep you entertained all through.  I am biased toward Lee Joon gi but with each drama of his that I watch, I am growing in awe of his skills. He literally owns each role he plays, whether it is Baek Hee-sung / Do Hyun-soo from Flower of Evil or the Magistrate Kim Eun-ho from Arang & the Magistrate, or Wang-so from Moon Lovers or the effeminate Gong-gil from King and the Clown, he ensures each character stands out differently in our minds and shapes the characters so well with his touch. I can go on and on about his action skills - is there someone who specifically choreographs stunts for LJG?  Who would have even imagined such a stunt scene? I was stunned and excited at the same time. Things are well-paced till episode 5, in ep 6 she finds out...

Arang and the magistrate is an underrated Kdrama that literally no one recommends. My LJG marathon continues with this series. Shin Min-ah who plays Arang the ghost, makes for a lovely pair for Eun ho, the magistrate played by LJG.  The story is pretty fast-paced and hilarious for the most part while also keeping you hooked till the end and as the episode ends you're left wanting more. LJG in a comedy/action/romance role makes watching this series worthwhile. I noticed that the old man who plays Lord Choi is one actor I like. The son of Lord Choi turns out to be the "My Shy Boss" lead and also the Jade emperor is so cute. Oh, what a lovely cast. I am floored.  The son of Lord Choi wears robes that every Indian woman will be jealous of ... I love the colour combinations and the patterns he gets to wear, in fact, we Indian women, especially from the Southern part of the country have sarees in those combinations 😁 From the 6th episode or so, the story starts to drag a bit. ...

  Source: Internet Since I am on a Lee Joon Gi marathon when I was reading up about him, this one movie kept cropping up over and over again - the movie that was responsible for the rising popularity of the young man that he was in 2005.  Set in 15th/16th century Korea, this period drama touches upon several aspects in the subtlest of ways. There are hints of homosexuality, they talk about the tyrant king, freedom of expression, and of course the traditional arts that are used to showcase these.  In Tamil Nadu, the street plays are referred to as Theru Koothu and it is refreshing to see them in other parts of the world too.  This film had pretty much lesser known "stars" but the output is simply outstanding. Be it King Yeonsan, the tightrope walker Jang-sang or my new favourite, Lee Joon Gi who plays Gong-gil.  These tightrope walkers/minstrels, street performers mock the King and are jailed but get a chance to escape punishment if they make the King laugh, and ...
