Bulgasal

Usually I don't write reviews for dramas. That is also because I wait for the drama to complete and binge watch. But I patiently waited a week to watch this.

What I liked - Actually the story was different from other fantasy dramas. If you haven't watched it thinking it is like Goblin then don't be. Except the genre they are totally different. The story is catching and the acting is good. I'll always remember this drama for Lee Joon though. He was the best part of this drama. Though he got quite less screen time he was the star for me.

What I disliked - The show couldn't maintain the momentum it had until episode 6. It started dragging after that. Lee jin wook was kind of misfit for Dan Hwal. I would say he couldn't express his emotions as excepted. The second leads were better than him. Kwon Nara was good though.

Music - I have no complaints with the music. All the osts were good.

Bulgasal is not as bad as everyone is trying to make it look. But everyone have their own opinion.

Overall rating - 9/10

The best thriller after a long time

I finished blind and I was literally feeling empty for a few days. I have not loved a drama this much after Tomorrow ended. I seriously feel that it is way too unappreciated. Blind is a crime thriller that keeps you on the edge for most of the time. You can guess a few things but suddenly the plot twist would make you doubt about the things you guessed.

This is my second Ok Taecyeon drama after Vincenzo. If he made me hate Jung Han Seok there i was totally in love with Ryu Sung Joon. His acting was phenomenal.

Ha Seok Jin is seriously becoming another favourite of mine after his portrayal as Ryu Sung Hoon. An upright Judge but his character as a broken child is what made me his fan.

Jeong Eunji needs no introduction. She was definitely an angel as Jo Eun Ki. A character everyone needed in their life( watch the drama to know why)

But seriously the person who caught my eye is Park Ji Bin. This is his best role no doubt. Until now his memeorable role was Guem Jandi's brother in Boys over flowers but his role in blind definitely got him a lot of new fans.

I have tried to keep my review spoiler free because I want everyone to watch this masterpiece. Do not see the ratings and watch it. You will not be disappointed. This drama is definitely heavy and dark and the fact that there are children who must have suffered these things for real because the story is inspired by true events.

A drama that shows you reality

My main reason for watching tomorrow was lee soo hyuk. But in the end its everything about this drama that made me stay. The first episode was marely setting the premises.
Tomorrow is based on the webtoon with same name but other than the drama name, character names and sub plots the drama was very different from the webtoon.
Every sub story made me cry rivers. The pain and the reasons why people choose to end their lives weren't grand but they were realistic.
I love lee soo hyuk but Yoon Jion was a surprise for me in this drama. Lim Ryun gu and his mother's arc made me cry a lot. I hope you get lot of work after tomorrow.
Kim Hee sun is obviously a star and no one would have played this role better than her. Rowoon is the best idol turned actor i would say. Choi Jun woong was a kind hearted person and deserved good things only.
There is nothing I disliked except I think Park Joong Gil deserved a better ending but since tomorrow was not romance I will still accept what we got.
The lessons that this drama taught I hope people can implement them in their lives.
We need more dramas like this.

Good content on a Bold Topic

Love and Leashes is really on a very bold topic. BDSM is a topic that has usually been covered to show nudity and unnecessary sex scenes. So i was pleasantly surprised to see a movie on this topic without sex.
Honestly it was the best movie on this topic, a lot better than highly popular Fifty shades of grey.
I liked the way the whole plot was executed. Instead of female sub the male lead was the sub and female lead was Dom. The female lead was strong. Even if she was cold I loved seeing her stand up for what was right most of the time.

Our male lead was like a cute puppy but had suffered a lot due to his propensity. His gf dumped him just because of his preference and I think he considered himself weird. Honestly you can sympathise with him for not being accepted for who he was.

I particularly didn't dislike anything except some loose ends here and there. But on the whole it was likeable.

If you want to know about BDSM without much caring about the sex scenes you can watch this movie.

Overall it is 8.5/10 for me.

Importance of self love

Honestly I started this drama with very low expectations. I am a Shin sung rok fan and I wanted to watch it for him. But little by little this drama got me hooked. I'm not saying it was the best drama I watched or something but it was really light and funny.
Shin sung rok was perfect in this character. As someone who usually plays negative characters it was a delightful change to watch him in this role. The expressions, the comic timing he totally exceeded my expectations.
The FL(both of them) were great too. I have usually seen kdramas not casting heavier people as leads so for a change I loved Min Jae Hee more. Her insecurities and turmoils about her weight and life were well portrayed.
The best part of the drama was the importance of self love along with such amazing comedy. It was funny and cute at times.
I would totally recommend it if you want to watch something light and with a good message. Kdramas still have a long way to go to be fair to fat actors or actresses since their beauty standards are different but I loved how this drama broke stereotypes.
I loved the ending. Usually when I start a drama i feel unsatisfied with the ending. But the ending here wasn't rushed or bad.
I don't know if I'll rewatch it since I usually don't but if I ever feel sad or down I just might

Bland revenge

OK honestly I started doctor lawyer with very low expectation. But after the first episode my expectations increased. With actors like So ji sub and shin sung rok it wasn't wrong to expect from this drama. But unfortunately the drama despite having good plot and an exciting theme like revenge couldn't deliver what it promised.

*what I liked*

The way the story started I was immediately hooked. A talented doctor Han Yihan who was respected for his talent but also acted as a ghost doctor for the director's son. We all knew there would be a lot of jealousy and anger.
So ji sub portrayed han Yihan perfectly well.
Of course this drama depends so much on shin sung rok as Jayden Lee. After a certain period of time you realise he is the only interesting character in the drama. Jayden Lee makes you root for him inspite of not knowing if he's a good guy or bad. I may be biased but I found shin sung rok overshadowing the leads.

*what I disliked*

I honestly found the drama to again insult our minds when it comes to female leads. As a prosecutor our female lead was very bad in keeping secrets about the revenge. I think it's high time the dramas stop showing good people as stupid. There were many loopholes in the storyline. At one point it was just dragging. Honestly when you watch a revenge drama you expect some fast paced action. Doctor lawyer wasn't heavy for a revenge drama.

Overall I loved this drama. I was hooked and I can forgive some silly plotholes because of the actors and their hardwork. I would not rewatch it but if I have to maybe only Jayden Lee and his very subtle bromance (why didn't they explore this) with our lead. The actors were definitely good and if only the story was well knit doctor lawyer could have been a better watch. But nevertheless this was a good show.

An interesting take on justice

I watched both seasons simultaneously and I have to say this drama kept my attention intact.
The best part of this drama is definitely the cast.
Lee Je Hoon as kim Doki was the best part of taxi driver. No one could have done this better than him.
Pyo ye jin as Goeun and her chemistry with Le JeHoon was worth watching. I would like to see them more in season 3.
Special mention to Shin Jae Ha because playing a villain always brings lots of hatred and criticism. Hajun was definitely a villain who brought out hatred, pity, sympathy and disgust. His death was still sad especially his last memories
Lastly the other supporting casts were good and did justice to their roles.
I hope season 3 is officially announced because i can't wait to watch it
