K-Drama My Eyes Out

KDMEO Episode 130 - Spring 2019 First Impressions 4


Listen Later

We genuinely enjoyed all three dramas that we selected for springtime first impressions this week.

Digressions:

1:05 - "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" Part 2

1:39 - "The Umbrella Academy"

3:21 - "Love, Death & Robots"

 

8:36 - "Doctor Prisoner" (닥터 프리즈너) is a KBS medical (?) drama, starring Nam GoongMin, Kim ByungChul, Kwon NaRa and Choi WonYoung. The term that comes most to mind about this show is "overwrought". The ER doctor/oncologist/neurosurgeon/OBGYN played by Nam GoongMin is so very good! The rich, illegitimate, drug-using douchebag played by Choi WonYoung is so very bad! In spite of all this, we genuinely enjoyed the cheesiness. Too bad you can't watch the rest of it for 300-something days if you don't feel like paying for Viki Pass Plus.

27:02 - "My Fellow Citizens!" (국민여러분!) is a lighthearted KBS2 drama starring Choi SiWon, Lee YooYoung and Kim MinJung. It's refreshing to see a story about a married couple who have drifted apart and will have to find their way back to each other. The con artist husband versus detective wife conflict somehow elevates the whole thing to a new level of fun!

45:45 - We selected "Possessed" (빙의) on a pure whim, to be honest. It's an OCN drama starring Go JoonHee and Song SaeByeok as an unlikely team who uses psychic abilities to catch a serial killer. Despite its very meh show premise, the excellent writing and production values make it definitely worth checking out. 

Next week, we are doing second impressions for the following four dramas: "Radiant" (눈이 부시게), "Touch Your Heart" (진심이 닿다), "My Fellow Citizens!" and "Possessed". Which will be our final pick for spring 2019?
