Welcome...

I love Korean culture, mostly the music and the dramas, so I thought I'd share my thoughts here.

K-Drama Review: Who Are You


Earlier this week was the finale of Who Are You starring So E-Hyun, Taecyeon and Kim Jae-Wook. The basics of the storyline is that Detective Yang Si-On (So E-Hyun) woke up after being in a coma for 6 years and is able to see ghosts. She's a police officer and is assigned to be the team leader of the Lost & Found department. Detective Cha Gun-Woo (Taecyeon) is already a member of this department after being put on suspension from the Special Investigations Unit. Si-On begins to solve crimes from the help of clues that she learns through the ghosts who are attached to items in the Lost & Found storage. Gun-Woo doesn't believe in ghosts so this causes a bit of tension between them. Lee Hyung-Joon (Kim Jae-Wook) is a ghost and a part of Si-On's past.

I was rather disappointed with this drama. I thought the writing was lack luster, the chemistry between the two leads could have been better and some of the acting was pretty bad. I was impressed with Kim Jae-Wook. He did a great job. It seems that Taecyeon's acting is getting worse or he needs to be cast in a better drama. He was better in Cinderella's Stepsister and even in Dream High. One of the problem's was that there wasn't much depth to his character but at least he's good looking. The chemistry between him and So E-Hyun wasn't that great. I mean he had better chemistry with Suzy in Dream High and she couldn't really act back then.

There are other dramas that I would recommend but if you're in the mood for something light then this would be a good pick. There's romance, comedy, mystery and suspense. Sadly, Taecyeon doesn't have any shirtless scenes but sometimes life likes to hold out on us.

That's it for now.

Cheers. x
