Doom at Your Service
(2021 - Netflix, 16 1:05 eps)

Beautiful. Scenery, sets, actors, clothing, music, writing. This was part of my Park Bo Young quest. I thought she was fabulous. She & Seo In Guk have wonderful chemistry.

The storylines delve into creation & destruction, rebirth & death, growth through love & suffering, how we need to lay down our burdens & love ourselves, how choosing the more difficult journey may be the best way forward. I found it very philosophical. I can't complain about character development. Each grew to become a better version of themselves (except maybe Kevin).

If you've suffered grief, you might find a lot of comfort in this drama.

Oh My Ghost / Oh My Ghostess
(2015 Viki, 16 60min eps)

This was recommended for my Park Bo Young Quest, and I couldn't be happier. I stayed up late to binge this one! PBY's acting in this is fantastic, winning 2 awards for it.

It's a rom-com, mystery, thriller combo that brings it all. There is quite a bit of setup, but it all comes together. The last episode does feel somewhat rushed and leaves a few questions hanging out there, but the important storylines get resolved.

Bo Young has heart-fluttering chemistry with the ML, Jo Jung Suk (they won the best kiss award). She also has heart-wrenching chemistry with the 2nd FL, Kim Seul Gi.

The supporting actors are so well cast and are so believable. Kang Ki Young plays dorky goofball so well!

It will be on my rewatch list!

Thank you so much for your recommendation! I started “Oh My Ghost” and it’s so good! If I don’t binge it, I will be surprised.

More thoughts on “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon”.

The more I thought about this, the more I thought about how different people might interpret it.

After the first meeting of the lead couple (which happens fairly early in the 1st episode, so this is not really a spoiler), the ML comments to his secretary that the FL is sexy. Some people may think he’s referring to her looks, but I took it to mean that he thought the sly way she just insulted him was sexy.

He’s a young, good-looking, CEO-chaebol and probably hasn’t had many people ever question him and she takes him down a peg on their first meeting. This interpretation flavored my experience of the entire rest of the series. I think if you miss that insult and how much it surprises & tickles him, you might interpret a lot of things differently.

This is rich chaebol (with trauma), but the girl is more middle-class and she has super powers which make her strong & vulnerable at the same time. I felt they were equals always - but in complementary ways. (He’s educated, she’s not, she’s more open with her feelings, he’s not.) Even though he teases her about not being smart (so does her family) there are several scenes where you can see how much he admires her.

If you watch, he is very jealous and manipulative at first, especially when he doesn’t understand his feelings, but there is a lot of character growth for both of them.

It will be interesting to see the variety of answers to this question!

My favorite is “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon”.

You’ve seen the leads willing to risk their lives to protect their loves, but In SWDBS, not only does he risk his life more than once, his love for her is so profound that he is willing to … (well, I can’t say because that would be a spoiler - but you’ll need tissues).

I’ve seen comments where people complain about the ML being the manipulative, spoiled, rich chaebol, but if you watch closely the FL has him wrapped around her little finger and he loves it. He is also sweet about respecting where she is in acknowledging her own feelings. It’s a beautifully developed love story with romance, silliness, and acceptance.

If you can’t tolerate the silly gangsters, then it would be hard to watch, BUT it does have (IMHO) one of the best love stories ever.

I have rewatched the love story part about a dozen times - but you have to get a few episodes in to start to see that story really develop.

The gangsters end up bringing comic relief from the horrible criminal activities.

One more episode to go of Abyss. Hoping for a happy ending, but I don’t know.

This was another drama that started out slowly for me. It wasn’t until the 5th or 6th episode that I couldn’t stop watching.

Suspense, mystery, science fiction, and a sweet love story are all in there. The mystery is complicated and does get confusing at first, but everything seems to be clearing up now. We’ll see how the last episode wraps it all up.
