Taxi Driver 2 (Series review) – Mood progression: D+ / D+ / D / D / D- / D- / D- / D-
I thought Shin Jae Ha’s role in Crash Course in Romance was bad, but looking at Taxi Driver 2 has made me appreciate slingshot guy instead. Somehow, the 2nd season has found a way to be even worse than the 1st one: I am actually impressed they made it more unrealistic, with less character development, blander procedurals, lamer villains? Well, the silver lining in the cloud is that no matter how makjang this show was, Shin Jae Ha won’t be involved with the 3rd season: surely he doesn’t want to be yeeting off yet another high building? But maybe he wants it, we’ll never know.
The Secret Romantic Guesthouse (Episode 9-10) – Mood: C-
Despite the predictability, I still found myself gasping in shock when Si Yeol was revealed to be the watchman, credit due to Kang Hoon’s acting which magnified the difference between his bumbling facade and his watchman identity. But it looks increasingly hopeless for the political arc of the plot and the mystery is no more so I’m not optimistic to say the least?
Doctor Cha (Episode 1-2) – Mood: C-
Initially, I baulked at watching the show given the blatant infidelity, but I saw the first impressions post and thought why not given the lack of any show capturing my attention these days. And that slap made it so worthwhile! I was worried about the kids if she divorces but it seems like they don’t deserve any worry. General plot is pretty mediocre, but it’s a guilty pleasure.
Stealer: The Treasure Keeper (Episode 3-4) – Mood: D+
You know, I get that I’m not the intended audience when Japan’s historical colonialism of Korea was the backdrop behind a cultural war between our protagonists and villains here (not my place to judge either). But the writer can certainly do better than making Pen Killer’s motivation be his sister who I dread is Min Woo. Still, there’s hope for the arcs of the cop team trio.
Bora! Deborah (Episode 3-4) – Mood: D-
If I recall correctly, the last time I gave a D- to a drama’s 2nd week was Forecasting Love and Weather (or Now We Are Breaking Up before that). I can’t comprehend what compelled Chansung to accept this role or the wild writing that somehow has him as a leading character. There’s no one to root for and that’s certainly unintended in this plot.
