Springtime First Impressions continue! This week's theme is "flummoxed".
4:53 - The second season of "Go Go Waikiki" (aka "Welcome to Waikiki" aka 으라차차 와이키키) starts off as a major disappointment. We wish JTBC had given up on the whole enterprise when they realized that they had only Lee YiKyung to work with. Believe us when we say that we really liked his character in the first season, but he has completely crossed over the line into caricature territory.
19:56 - "The Fiery Priest" (열혈사제) is an SBS drama about a priest, a prosecutor and a detective forming a team to bring down corruption in their city. It stars Kim NamGil, Honey Lee and Kim SungKyun. It was difficult to pay attention to the corruption plot when characters are eating black bean noodles (jajangmyun, 짜장면) every other scene.
32:57 - "The Item" was an unexpected delight from MBC, starring Joo JiHoon, Jin SeYeon and Kim KangWoo. There was definitely enough tension and mystery to keep our interest, but more importantly, we want to recommend this to you based on our theory that the main villain is a secret vampire.
Next week, we're checking out "Possessed" (빙의), "Doctor Prisoner" (닥터 프리즈너) and "My Fellow Citizens!" (국민 여러분!).
