KBS Drama Specials 2020

Hooray! After last year, in which only four episodes were made available with subtitles, I was worried about whether I would be able to watch the KBS Drama Specials at all this year. Luckily, Kocowa has stepped in to sub them! I've really missed watching these, and I've missed reviewing them. This year is a good one - rife with unique stories, complicated protagonists and really interesting themes - so without further ado, here are my thoughts on this year's specials!

Was It Love? No, It Was Not.

Okay, so I almost didn't finish this post because I knew I couldn't form a cohesive take-down of Was It Love. The issues with the drama come from so many different directions. But I need to put something out there to warn people away from this show, so instead this post is structured one issue per paragraph. It's different from my usual style, but what's wrong with that, right? So let me break down the (consistently) worst drama of the year and why it was so bad. (Also, this blog post will entirely use pictures of Song Ji-hyo's face, because it makes me laugh.)

Last Cinderella: The Fairytale We Needed

Once upon a time there was a kind, brave and generous woman. Because she acted more like an old man than a woman, the world told her that no-one would ever fall in love with her. The woman liked who she was - she didn't want to change! But she was also very lonely. One day, a snake disguised as a young man approached her. He planned to win her love and then abandon her. As he planned, the kind and generous woman came to love him. However, it was impossible for the snake not to love the woman too. Miraculously, her kind heart affected him and the snake transformed into a real man. The two of them lived ever after.
