Tagged by @verochkasnightmarecorner, thank you ❤️

Currently watching:

I just finished Kleo. I liked it.

I have three shows that I need to finish:

Tracer (finished season 1, must watch season 2)

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay (finished episode 2)

Cafe Minamdang (finished episode 11)

Other than that I really need to start watching Summer Strike.

Rewatching:

The Merciless (always <3) and some episodes of Beyond Evil.

I think I’m gonna rewatch D.P. soon as well (GIVE ME SEASON 2!!!)

Looking forward to:

KILL BOK SOON!!! (31ST MARCH!!!)

Same director as Merciless (Byung Sung-hyun) and Jeon Doyeon and Sol Kyunggu as lead actors!

Not sure how many epsiodes are left, it's usually 12 or 16 with K drama shows.

Hope they do a season 2. I can easily watch these three scamming criminals and making money with their fake shaman antics :)

Episode 10 / 📺: Cafe Minamdang 💛💛

Why I am still watching Cafe Minamdang

Let's be brutally honest here. It's likely because of this face:

But even Seo In-guk's insane charm can only keep me watching a sub-par drama for so long.

Cafe Minamdang falls under the K-drama category of comedy-crime-procedural where characters solve weekly cases with lots of shenanigans while chasing an ultimate baddie who did something awful to our heroes personally and often professionally.

Examples of such dramas would be Bring It On, Ghost!, Fiery Priest, Catch the Ghost, and Police Academy.

These tend to be weekday dramas that don't ask much from the audience.

They are light, fast, frequently funny, and let you invest just enough emotionally to enjoy the show while it's airing and forget about it soon after.

I don't mean that they aren't well written or skillfully directed. It requires a lot of production effort to craft crime dramas that aren't taxing emotionally, but still deliver a satisfying viewer experience.

I'm trying to emphasize that these dramas are meant to be easy to watch.

And Cafe Minamdang is easy to watch.

It has a quick pace, a colourful palette, unexpectedly funny moments, and a commitment to poke fun at itself.

And sometimes that's enough.

I can't make myself care about the ritual obsessed serial killer or Han Jae-hee's childhood crush on Nam Han-joon.

But, I do enjoy the Minamdang team's dynamic and their individual quirks clashing in the middle of stakeouts and fighting criminals. It creates a second layer of narrative that keeps my attention until the next scene, and then the next.

I also like the police team members. Oh Yeon-seo's Jae-hee is most enjoyable when she's working with her team. As a less experienced detective, suddenly promoted to the head of a team, her relationship with her sunbae played by actor Jan Man-shik is one of the more genuine parts of the story.

I was also impressed by the unfolding of our protagonists' connection with the serial killer, especially with the scene where Nam Han-joon finds his friend's burning body.

So, there are something that I clearly like. But I'm still feeling disconnected from the show. And that's what I'm mourning when I see this face.

Because the story largely keeps its focus on Nam Han-joon and Han Jae-hee's relationship, and never were two "partners" less well matched.

Through most of the show, Seo In-guk infuses his own character with clownishness and charisma in equal parts.

When he's in scenes with Oh Yeon-seo he remains the same man, but adds hints of confusion and irritation to his reactions to her. He's affected by her, but he doesn't know why, so he often loses control of his mouth or temper.

On the other hand, while Oh Yeon-seo is calm, measured, and conscientious as a detective when she's with her team or with her prosecutor friend, as soon as she comes near Nam Han-joon, she loses all perspective and will sooner punch him than listen to anything he's saying.

Which doesn't sound as bad as it actually is. As a director's note for a character who has believed that Nam Han-joon is partially responsible for her brother's death, this is not unreasonable behaviour.

But somehow, it all goes wrong in the execution.

The drama having decided that this is an enemies to lovers romance, Han Jae-hee is allowed only one way to react to Nam Han-joon – aggressive distrust.

And this makes her do things that are unethical and unprofessional to say the least. Like, breaking into his home and hiding in his closet while he changes. Or punching him or threatening to punch him frequently.

There's no subtlety to Jae-hee's behaviour and no nuance that lets you sense where her emotions actually lie. The drama tells us that she's had a childhood crush on Han-joon, but it fails to show us any slow deepening of that affection in the adult Jae-hee.

And even on Han-joon's side, it's hard to see any feelings developing under his brash external facade.

So, while the drama tries to center the romance as the emotional linchpin of the story, the audience struggles to find anything to really connect with.

Now, not all crime dramas (comedy or dramatic) have a good romance. I would even argue that most of them have terrible romantic subplots that would have been better deleted in the draft.

But when you don't have a strong romance, you need to give your audience a different emotional center to invest into, and the perfect example of this was another Seo In-guk drama from 2015 called Hello Monster.

In that show, Jang Na-ra was also trapped under the burden of playing an extremely one note heroine and her chemistry with Seo In-guk was dead on arrival. But nobody really cared about that because the emotional core of the story was held by Park Bo-gum and Seo In-guk as brothers who were separated in childhood and had very different upbringings.

Now, the writer of Cafe Minamdang, Park Hye-jin, is also working on Seo In-guk's next project Smoking Gun, which will possibly be released later this year.

Here are the tags on its mydramalist page.

While the genre is right up Seo In-guk's alley, I can't say I'm very impressed with how this writer plots her crime thrillers.

And with a trope like amnesia thrown into the mix, I'm getting a very nervous feeling that I may be writing another post in six months wondering why I'm watching Smoking Gun and if this face is again to blame.

I’m so mad at Cafe Minamdang’s script.

Like, you have this star studded talented cast paired with a fantastic premise, and the writers seem to have been so focused on aesthetics that EVERYTHING else has fallen flat.

The vibes of this show are immaculate. But every character is 2 dimensional. And don’t get me started on how they set up this female lead. What is with this actress and getting amazing set ups for complex badass characters, and then the writers taking a bludgeoning tool to all her development to flatten her to 2 dimensions so the male lead can be impressive? (I will always be mad about A Korean Odyssey, despite rewatching it all the time)

And it sucks how, like in A Korean Odyssey, it’s working. The ML is FANTASTIC! I love him. That actor is bodying this character. But the writers keep doing it at the female lead’s expense.

Just WRITE HER CONSISTENTLY DEAR GOD! SHE CAN’T BE THIS IMPRESSIVE POLICE OFFICER WITH NO EQUAL ONE SECOND AND THEN THE MOST INCOMPETENT DETECTIVE EVER BECAUSE YOU NEED TO RAISE THE MALE LEAD’S IQ POINTS

#cafe minamdang #like how in a korean odyssey she was a self sufficient badass the first two episodes and then a helpless damsel the rest of the show #so the male lead could have badass hero moments #I’m going to drop this show #which I hate cause it is funny #but only during plot irrelevant moments #the moment the plot comes back into play it falters #kdrama #Netflix

Upon hearing the news, Ms. Han went to save her team. She went unarmed and took down every one of them. Flapping her long hair, she flew as if she was unaffected by gravity. They say she looked like a ghost, not a human.

That's when people started to wonder, "Is Miss. Han even human? Is she a ghost?" The rumor started to spread.
