Korean Soap
I’ve been following 2 shows that’s been on for about 3 months now on channel 18 in the LA area. This is the “Asian” channel where depending on time of day various asian programming is shown here. My folks catch the prime time during the week for their Chinese soap and I watch the Korean soaps from 9:50 – 11:00 slot. The first series is called Coffee Prince’s Flagship Store and second one, Time Between Dog and Wolf. Yes funny names but very entertaining series!
The Coffee Prince’s Flagship Store is your typical Korean romance / comedy movies. The story is about a girl trying to work her way up at a Cafe and ends up falling in love with her boss. But the twist was that she hides the fact that she’s a girl and continues to work as a boy. Funny moments when she is constantly avoiding getting caught. This would be something you would call, “cute”. Way too much cheese. It finally ended this week on Monday.
The second movie Time Between Dog and Wolf was a combination of action, thriller, and romance. Basically its your typical love triangle. Throw in a few mob bosses, manipulating government agents, and revenge and there you have the movie. The acting is superb and not cheesy at all. Very action packed. Kinda reminded me of The Departed. I highly recommend catching this. I found some videos here. This show should end by next week. I’ve already finished the series tonight on my own.
I have to say, I’ve been watching alot of Korean drama the past year or so. Very good stuff!
