Who are you?

I've been keeping up with the Korean dramas lately after I'm done with the reality varieties. Just something trivial... I realized that apart from the romance element which was found commonly in K-dramas, these dramas I watched recently could be broadly categorized under another theme - "Who Are You" (secret identities) even though they were of different genre!

Here goes the list (all very watchable!):

1. Yong Pal
Who are you, Kim Tae Hyun? A doctor or a quack (Yong Pal)?

2. School 2015
Who are you, Ko Eun Byeol? The popular student or victim of bullying (Lee Eun Bi)?

3. Oh My Ghostess
Who are you, Na Bong Sun? The assistant chef or the ghost (Shin Soon Ae)?

4. Hyde, Jekyll, Me
Who are you, Koo Seo Jin? The strict or the sweet (Robin)?

5. She Was Pretty
Who are you, Kim Hye Jin? The ugly but familiar or the pretty (Min Ha Ri)?

6. Kill Me Heal Me
Who are you, Cha Do Hyun? The gentleman, the bomb-maker uncle (Perry Park), the dangerous and cool (Shin Se Gi), the suicidal teenage boy (Ahn Yo Seob), the idol-chasing teenage girl (Ahn Yo Na), the little girl with bear (Na Na), or the mysterious Mr X (Father of Na Na)?

IRIS has my eyes locked

Korean drama never fail to amaze me. There was 大长今 and 医道 a few years back. This time round IRIS was simply fantastic. How could I have missed it. I only hopped on halfway and boy, was I hooked! My eyes are practically glued to the TV.

Lots of action, nice leading actresses and actors. Never had such a kick after watching Shiri, Brotherhood and Joint Security Area (JSA) but those were movies. This IRIS drama had me longing for the sequel IRIS 2 and the spin-off Athena.

I never did knew that Lee Byun Hun was so "stylo". It like a total transformation from way back in JSA. I also never did notice much of him as Stormshadow in G.I. Joe. He does look quite the versatile actor. I like his good guy role in IRIS, much like Jason Bourne. He looks equally hateful in G.I Joe. Got to admit K-actors are looking better and better.

On a sadder note, the ending of IRIS sucks totally! I was like cursing and swearing at the end. What the ...!!!

Word has it that Lee Byun Hun declined the role in the sequel due to G.I. Joe commitments. Even then, it's a very lame way of writing him off the show ... Saddening ...
