KBS's Blood - A Vampire Doctor Premieres Monday

We have a new doctor in kdrama land. Doctor and Vampire are two words that shouldn't probably come in the same sentence. But we have rookie Ahn Jae-hyun starring as Doctor Blood. Well actually he plays Park Ji Sang, a genius in his field. Like a lot of kdrama heros, including vampires, he appears to be cold and unfeeling on the surface but has a soft side to his animal instinct. Nobody can understand the value of a life unless they don't have it. And Dr. Blood is one of them who uses his supernatural powers to save his patients. He is in search of a cure for his current state and like all supernatural beings, wishes to be human. Yes, apparently he can be cured as his parents were infected by a "Vampire Virus" and thus he was born infected.

Gu Hye Sun plays Yoo Ri-T, an heiress doctor who is by nature bold, snotty and equally a genius as Dr. Blood. The teaser reminds me a lot of twilight, maybe because of the concept of a "vegetarian vampire". Let's see how the drama spans out. This is Ahn Jae Hyun third drama and the first one as the lead. He was expectional in You Who Came from the stars and You're all Surrounded. But can he carry a drama on his own. Only time will tell. Blood premieres Monday, Feb 16th.

Gu Family Book - Season 2 Questions Answered

The Finale of the hit KDrama, The Gu Family Book or Kang Chi, The Beginning left lot of things unanswered. I for one was fuming and you can see my review of the Gu Family book Here. Incase you want to know the short version of my rant, its that I have never felt this unsatisfied and betrayed by any drama till date. Anyhow, though I was not able to find the source, I did read in one of the forums of how the writer had started out the series with a Season 2 in mind. However, this aint happening! :( This might be why the story felt more like the beginning rather than a whole package. But this is my speculation. But what is not speculation is that the Production house have decided not to have a season 2 for the Gu Family Book... yet. Things might change and I hope to God that they do. But until then, I am left with FanVids of Gu Family Book 2.

Gu Family Book - The end or just the beginning?

Now that the drama, “Gu Family Book” or “Kang Chi, The beginning” has ended, I have loads of things to say about the drama, not all of them good. So lets start off. Be warned Spoilers Ahead. First of all, the ending was One Shocker. I am not really the crying sort but this drama, especially Lee Seung gi made me feel like this while watching the finale... Once the drama ended, I was like this. Not sure cause now I have to find a new purpose on Mondays and Tuesday or if the finale brought this on. I had wondered why the drama has such diverse names : "Gu Family book" and "Kang Chi, the beginning". Where they thinking of a season 2? I am not sure. But what I am sure of is that the Gu Family Book plot which seemed to be the focal point in the first couple episodes was brought up very rarely as episodes went on, usually when people didn't have anything to say. Ok, I am exaggerating. Moving on. There also seemed to be story-lines that seemed...

Healer - Kim Moon Shik's Evolution to the Dark Side.

The problem with watching a drama like Healer is that it spoils you for all other dramas. You start having expectations so high that from there on only a handful of dramas are able to fulfll them. I started watching Healer seeing its similarity to City Hunter but expect for a few details, Healer is more satisfying a drama and much better scripted keeping the suspense and the fun till the end. All characters are well written, but the most interesting of them is Kim Moon Shik (KMS). When starting out this drama, I was certain that KMS was the villain. The PD did the awesome job of maintaining the mystery of the 1992 incident up until episode 18 which was primarily the reason it took me this long to actually figure out KMS's motive. We all know he did not start off as the bad guy but somewhere down the lane, lost his path. Up until episode 17, we see flashes of the past that gives us hints of Moon Shik's love for his friend's girlfriend. We were lead to assume th...
