283. Meloholic 멜로홀릭 (2017) Korean

Jung Yoon Ho, Kyung Soo Jin, Choi Dae Chul

Drama Rating: 4/10     Neck Score: A+

This is one of those dramas that I'm not sure why I actually watched, except for Yoon Ho. The things I do for my idol boys, tsk tsk tsk. This show was outright embarrassing to watch at times. Especially the first half of the show which was full of needless sexy time. I swear Choi Dae Chul's character was there just to hook up with women. That whole Clara the sexy lunch lady thing was ridiculous. It was like three different dramas rolled into one. One drama about the main couple, a boy with powers and a girl with a split personality, one was about a serial killer, and one was about Choi Dae Chul getting some. Yeah, pretty ridiculous. Then there were the college friends who were there for the first half of the drama, but we forgot they existed by the ending of it. Basically it was a mess and all over the place. Whew.

Some of those plots I listed above were fun. I actually really enjoyed watching Kyung Soo Jin play multiple personalities. She did it really well. I liked both of her characters, and I thought that they handled it very well. It was pretty refreshing to see the girl get to be the one with the DID. Of course Yoon Ho also had his powers which allowed him to read girl's minds. I did appreciate that that only gave him confidence, but that he was still a huge nerd on the inside. That was adorable. I loved that when it came right down to it, it was about a pair of nerds falling in love, who happened to have confident alter egos that came through special circumstances, such as a mental disorder or random powers.

The psychopath plot line was ridiculous. Especially the ending of it. It was all over the place and especially draggy at the ending. It also felt really slap dash, like they were just throwing everything together last minute. This is a prime example of all the currently popular tropes, as well as past tropes, thrown together into one ridiculous romcom, which has too much sexy time. I'm not sure who they were trying to appeal to there with all the boob shots. No more rice scooping demos, Clara, please! They had the DID, which was popular a couple years back, the psychopath in the romcom, which was last year's trope, and they even had to throw amnesia in there right at the end. Wonderful! Just what we always wanted (gagging noises)! So yeah, it was pretty dumb, and I'm embarrassed that Yoon Ho was able to make me watch it, but sometimes you gotta watch bad dramas and laugh, and even if it was cheesy beyond all reason, Yoon Ho was cute and Soo Jin was awesome. I liked that OTP. So the result is embarrassed but not regretful.

270. I Order You 당신을 주문합니다 (2015) Korean

Jung Yoon Ho, Kim Ga Eun, Jang Seung Jo, Baek Jung Won, Jo Yoon Woo 

Drama Rating: 5/10     Neck Score: A-

I never thought I'd live to see Yunho out acting anyone, but he was way better than our female lead in this.  He wasn't amazing or anything, but he was decent.  The show was just fluffy, but that is what we wanted.  Nothing better than a web drama when you want fluffy, because they can't afford to waste time on anything, although they still managed to do it.  We burned through the first like 12 episodes in one night, and let me tell you they were the best episodes, full of her falling in love with his face and cooking over and over, and him falling in love with the way she appreciated his food, over and over.  He was on the teasey side, which was generally cute.  He could also be a bit of a butt.  She was generally smart and nice, although she was not great at acting.  The flowerboy coworkers were the best.  It was literally The Flowerboy (who is in all the flower boy dramas) and this tall oppa that we liked.  He was smiley.  Also, her younger brother is pretty cute and awesome too.  Just saying.  The second male lead was a cutie too, I called him Diddy Kitty (like the Diddy Kong of Kitty- aka Kim Jae Joong) because he looked a lot like Kitty.  This, of course lead to much TVXQ jokes.

The last four episodes were needlessly dramatic and mopey and since we saved these for the next day, we were even less able to pay attention while the shiz hit the fan and the girl literally became the worst person in the world.  She was even worse than the last minute bitca they added.  So it ended.  Like I said, fluff.  But while it was mostly enjoyable, it had way more drama then say Wednesday at 3:30, which is a comparable web drama full of fluffy Beanie.  So, this is still good if you want a bunch of cheesy fluff and happen to like Yunho (which I not so secretly do now, how did this happen!?!?!) but be warned, it is also ridiculous and mopey in spots.
