Hallyu Tanya and I are back to talk about episodes 3 and 4 of We Got Married: Global Edition Season 2. Enjoy!
And now that you’ve watched us fangirl over this week’s episodes, I want to know what you thought of them. Which parts were your favorite? Which made you laugh? Which made you cringe? And I have to ask, isn’t Heechul just fabulous as a vampire or is that my weakness for the un-dead talking? As always, I want to know what you’re thinking so be sure to leave me a comment below!
So Hallyu Tanya and I have decided to get all fancy and do a video edition of our Hallyu Zombie Drama Review for We Got Married: Global Edition Season 2. Enjoy!
As with all of our Hallyu Zombie Drama Reviews, we’d love to hear what you’re thinking… What you liked, what you disliked, what you’re looking forward to, etc. so be sure to leave us all your thoughts in the comments below!
For this week’s drama, I’ve decided to go back into the often overlooked “classics” of K-Drama and pull up a drama that’s every bit as delightful as its name implies, the much-loved Delightful Girl Choon Hyang.

South Korean hip-hop group B.A.P invaded the northern Midwest Saturday night at the Star Plaza Theatre in Merrillville, Indiana, making their first appearance in the Chicago-land area as stop number three in the U.S. “B.A.P Attack” portion of their LIVE ON EARTH 2014 tour.

This week brought with it the end of TvN’s medical romantic dramedy, Emergency Couple, which means that now is the perfect time to begin your weekend K-drama marathon. Woo-hoo! Continue reading “FRIDAY NIGHT DRAMA: Emergency Couple”
As you can tell, I’m not Zombie Mamma (sorry). Like Karen did last week, I am filling in for her. Don’t worry, she’ll be back next week and all will be back to normal.
For this week’s Friday Night Drama, I bring you one of the best romantic comedies with a great ending (a rare thing in the K-Drama world :p): All About My Romance starring Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Min Jung. Have you ever watched a drama and complained about too many useless side characters? Well then you’re in luck, there are zero useless characters here and everyone somehow contributes to the story. I know not everyone is into political dramas especially when they’re wrapped up as comedies, but this one really did good in the balancing department. The politics portion can be a bit overwhelming at times in the beginning, but that takes a backseat when Kim Soo Young (SHK) and Noh Min Young (LMJ) starts up.
Let’s give a little bit of a background on this one, Soo Young and Min Young are from two different political parties and end up having a secret relationship, why? Because how else would they be able to date without anyone interfering? Well sneaking around isn’t as good as one would like to think and our dear couple spent a lot of time hiding out from their colleagues in dressing rooms, under tables, and they just sometimes ran away.
Of course with this being a rom com, or K-Drama in general, the couple can’t be happy all the way ’til the end. It’s just K-Drama Rule #501 that states we must have a second lead who never gets a hint that the main lead doesn’t like them. I mean, it has to happen in order for the OTP to be happy. So who’s the second lead who has to have Soo Young all to herself? Reporter Ahn Hee Sun who has followed Soo Young around for years in hopes that she can finally win his heart, but alas that isn’t possible. I mean, Min Young already kissed his chest before they got together so it was only a matter of time before it become official.
Without giving too much away, each character was funny in their own way from Soo Young’s aides to Min Young’s colleagues and even her own family. The comedic timing was perfect and there wasn’t a dull moment in this 16 episode series. So if you want to watch a fun, light-hearted drama to give a balance to all those melos/revenge dramas you’re watching, try All About My Romance.
Fun Fact: This is actually based on a novel of the same title by Lee Eung Joon.
Zombie: So, Kpop, you wanted to talk about TROY?
KpopKolorado: Oh yay, we’re doing TROY!! eek!
To offset the overwhelming abundance of cute I’ve been floored by this week, I’ve decided to recommend a darker drama for this weekend’s marathon, one with action, mystery and suspense all centered around an oh-so-adorably un-dead male lead… Vampire Prosecutor. Continue reading “FRIDAY NIGHT DRAMA: Vampire Prosecutor”
For those of you who prefer to watch your dramas in a one-shot marathon, as opposed to enduring the sometimes torturous weekly wait just to find out what happens next, I have good ‘news for you! This week brought us the final episodes of yet another recently aired drama, I Need Romance 3. Woo-hoo! You can now officially begin your marathon!
Zombie: I just have to ask, are you two loving Bride of the Century as much as I am because really, I’m freakin’ loving this show!!!
Tanya: I love the unexpected bits of comedy thrown into the darkness of this slightly creepy drama. It’s like they took My Love From Another Star and The Master’s Sun and rolled them together. I like it.
