*** Idol I (2025) ***
(Viki 12 1:00 eps)[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]
A top lawyer & secret fangirl defends her ultimate bias when he is accused of murder.
Phenomenal casting, brilliant acting, spot-on costuming, cinematography that told the story, & a wonderful OST. Writing was poetic at times & so tight that a storyline was finished with 1 line & a camera shot. If you blink, you might miss it. Writer Kim Da Rin is not credited on MDL & this seems to be the only project.
Pacing was perfect, just enough angst, & clues to the mystery dropped to keep interest up. Romance was refreshing & evolved well as the characters developed.
Messages about believing in yourself, justice, & solidarity run through the storylines. It also provides commentary on overzealous fans & the societal backlash against any imperfection of stars in Korea. Excellent!

#ADramaLunies2025
10-Feb : Worst case of 2nd Lead Syndrome?This year, of the dramas I watched, the worst case of 2LS was "Cheer Up."
I had recently seen Kim Hyun Jin as the sweet secretary in "My Sweet Mobster." I had also seen him as the 2nd lead in "Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale." In "Cheer Up" he's so sweet again & it just should have been him.

Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale
(2024 - Paramount 10 0:40 eps)A complete farce! Rich, arrogant, cold chaebol meets poor girl who readily admits she's looking for a Cinderella scenario. Both leads do grow as characters & the show has some good messages about being true to yourself, believing in yourself, & loving yourself 1st.
Decent chemistry - although Pyo Ye Jin disappointed a bit. 2nd lead (same as "Cheer Up") again in a horrible love triangle. Stupid antics, ridiculous meet-cutes, crazy animation & sound effects. Inside jokes about other dramas the actors have been in.
You have to meet this with the right mindset: it's crude & ludicrous. Somewhat similar vibe to "No Gain, No Love," but a common story & not nearly as well executed. Lee Jun Young does not take himself seriously at all - great comedy from him & tears too.

Cheer Up
(2022 - Viki 16 1:10 eps)Yeonhee University's cheer squad has a long history, including a terrifying prophecy. A poor woman concerned only about supporting her family & paying tuition is persuaded to join the cheer squad for money. She realizes there is value in doing things you enjoy & having relationships. Other members of the cheer squad also find value in belonging & having others cheer you on.
Interesting look at an unfamiliar (to the U.S.) part of Korean campus life. The love triangle is intense (big-time 2nd ML syndrome) & really becomes the story, making the message take 2nd place. The criminal's motives are mostly glossed over & the crime-ing was very uneven, but since it wasn't central to the story, it's okay. Not a lot of character development, but it did try to present a good message. Some great acting saved the show & made for a very fun watch.

emotional hardships and romance, there's also a mystery to solve.
It's quite interesting to get a snippet of campus life in South Korea and such club as the cheering squad. It's different from cheerleading, as the goal is to make the crowd move with them.
I developed a big second lead syndrome for Jin Sun-ho (#KimHyunJin #김현진), who also plays the handsome manager in #MySweetMobster.
