To the Beautiful You: Episode 1 and 2 Mini-recaps and First Impressions

Okay, in four words... I. Love. This. Show. I'm not sure why, really, because it's mediocre as far as acting and plot sense/writing go. To be completely honest, it's probably because of the OST, the cinematography, the set, and the wardrobe/makeup more than anything else. Oh, and Ki Tae-young and his absolutely hilarious crush on Yonsama. Bahahaha. Anyway, the first week was surprisingly fun to watch, and met any expectations I had going into it. The resemblances to the J-dorama are kind of few and far between, with only the broadest of references made to the source material.

Spy Myung-wol: Episode 8 Mini-recap

The game-changer! It's finally here. So much fun in this episode.  It's my favorite whole episode so far, which is saying a lot because this show has a real problem pulling things together cohesively. Regardless, Stony-faced Robot Boy ain't so much an ice block anymore, and everyone gets a taste of their own medicine.

Spy Myung-wol: Episode 7 Mini-recap

In which Myung-wol kicks some more ass and Kang-woo finally realizes his own feelings. This was a good episode, and left me salivating for the next, because, let's face it, who doesn't love this show? The whack factor is high and so is the chemistry factor, so you really can't go wrong.

Spy Myung-wol: Episode 6 Mini-recap

Episode 5 had Myung-wol throwing herself at Kang-woo. Episode 6… not so much. She spends most of the hour running in the opposite direction as she begins to realize her feelings for him. She's not alone in that of course, as the boys begin to clue in to their attractions as well.

Spy Myung-wol: Episode 5 Mini-recap

In which Robot Boy gets shaken and the Plastic Princess  has a meltdown. This episode was good for so many reasons, least of which is the fact that Lee Jin-wook is finally emoting. His scenes with Myung-wol cracked me up. Additionally, we've got more crazy "Seduce the Hallyu Star" antics which are always entertaining.

Spy Myung-wol: Episode 4 Mini-recap

This show just makes me giggle like a little schoolgirl. It's so funny in a screwball way, and I love that the characters aren't even trying to be funny, which makes it even goofier. Four episodes in, we've got a distinct goal and numerous players in the game. Here's to hoping that In-ah just falls off a cliff or something...

Spy Myung-wol: Episode 3 Mini-recap

I loved this episode of Spy Myung-wol for a lot of reasons, least of which is its seeming randomness. The funnies get funnier and we get to see the beginnings of attraction on Kang-woo's part.

Spy Myung-wol: Episode 2 Mini-recap

Ahh, the funnies just keep a'comin. I'm beginning to love this show already. Let's just hope it doesn't take a nosedive off the deep end anytime soon. The end of the first week in Myung-wol world brought us lots of laughs and set things up for the real plot to begin.

Spy Myung-wol: Episode 1 Mini-recap

It's breezy, funny and easy to look at. What more could anyone ask from a spy rom com? This is going to be a good summer. I just know it. The first episode of Spy Myung-wol did not disappoint, and I'm hoping the rest of the series lives up to this introduction.

Recaps and Mini-Recaps

So, my experiment on recaps didn't turn out the way I wanted (I'm still not finished with the Episode 1 recap for Secret Garden). I'm not giving up hope, however. I'm working on another experiment and have realized recaps are not an impossible endeavor.
