KBS Drama Specials 2018

They're finally here! I always look forward to the KBS Drama Specials - you'll never know quite what they'll be, so watching them blind is such a fun experience. Here's a mini-review of all the ones I watched. There's something for everyone here. Also, I was half-way through writing this post, when suddenly it just up and disappeared, so hopefully I was able to remember most of my original thoughts?

Song Jae-jung Hates Her Heroines

For anyone who doesn't know, Song Jae-jung is one of the greatest sci-fi fantasy writers on the scene today. She partially inspired the love I have for thrillers now, and is responsible for one of the most romantic dramas I've ever seen. But... I don't think she's perfect. Namely because within the four dramas I've seen that Song Jae-jung has written, I've noticed parallels - in each one, the male leads are charismatic and deftly written, but I'm convinced that comes at the expense of the female leads.
