Familiar Wife will be my last romance drama for a long while.

These types of shows should not be 16 episodes. There's not enough external story or drama besides the romance to carry a story. On episode 11 now and I'm becoming restless because these characters have been around for too long and the tension has faded.

I would say, that this show is Hi, Bye Mama executed properly. It still suffers from the genre its in but a much better show than Hi, Bye Mama

:hhh:

Just finished Vincenzo overall dope show :wow: But on second thought it like a 7 out of 10.. Sort of cheesy at times and plus the tone of the people never matched with what was really going on. It should have been more dark and cut a lot of the over the top comedy.




The writing when ole girl got shot and when the brother got killed was weak and uncharacteristic. That was the main flaw. And damn is Korea that corrupt or the dramas go overboard on every show :dwillhuh:

It’s a 9/10 nicca and we ain’t accepting anything less:stopitslime:


It was straight the way it was, it NEEDED the humor to tone down a lot of the dark shyt.

Cuz it got where it needed to get at the right moments.

Also the villain Jang Jun-woo / Jang Han-seok was Top 5 KDrama villain:ufdup:



Sidenote…. Watching Lawless Lawyer. Dope so far

fell short for me. But then again, grain of salt since I’m an IRL lawyer.
