Updated Drama Schedule for October

I know I said I was halting all drama-viewing, but to a drama addict like me...well that's impossible. So I've worked out a 'plan' for myself to satisfy that crave and still be sort of diligent.

MONDAYS-FRIDAYS:

Shut up Family (sitcom)
This is realistic since it's only 30 minutes a day 

FRIDAY:

1 episode of Vampire Prosecutor II to suit my crime thrilling needs (and of course Prosecutor Min Tae Yeon). 5 episodes are out as of today, I have finished 1 this Friday.

SAT-SUN:


Alternating between Horse Doctor and The Great Seer
and perhaps if I can fit it in there, I should pick up on Faith and Arang...




Sounds good, right?

Arang and the Magistrate

I can't believe there are so many good shows starting now! Besides Faith, I have fallen in love with Arang. First of all, I love supernatural things. Ghosts, aliens, demons, superpowers, I'm all for it! Arang ties in these supernatural elements along with folklore (Arang itself is a story), and characters like the Jade Emperor, King of the Underworld and his workers. It gives me a nostalgic feel because I grew up with these characters while I was little whilst watching the series "The Monkey King". I was surprised Korean folklore also included these characters. 

Moments of Arang

cliffhanger moment right at the end of 2.

best scene from episode 1 when he sweeps her onto the horse.

A compilation of my favourite intimate moments between Arang and Eun Oh. Shin Mina and Lee Junki's chemistry is just sizzling!

Supporting/Side Characters, the Funny, the Evil. 

Dol Soe (Kwon Oh Joong) as Eun Oh's servant. (First time I saw him was in Damo and he was a cool, sarcastic left bureau policeman with
 great sword skills. Contrast him from his role now who is simple-minded and impulsive. Impressive!)

Moo Young (Han Jung Soo) and King of the Underworld/Yeom Wang (Park Joon Gyu) 

The 3 funny subordinates of the magistrate's. 

Bang Wool (Hwang Bo ra) the cute shaman 

Nobleman Choi (Kim Yong Gun), the evil father of Joo Wal's. Has a grudge against Eun Oh's father who demoted him.

Mischievous, smart, compassionate Jade Emperor (Yoo Seung Ho)

? questions

It seems peach blossom petals are harmful both to arang and those in the underworld. Where did arang get them?
Does it have to do with the peach blossom trees in heaven? How about red beans (as seen in episode 1)?

Joo Wal, the scary guy with the knife. It seems he has something to do with Arang (aka Lee Seo Rim)'s death?

how about that black ring of his he always turns about?

In a conversation with the Jade Emperor, it was mentioned Moo Young had a sister.Why was this fact mentioned? 

the full moon is ALWAYS a factor in supernatural shows and books I've watched or read,
 and it appears to play quite an important role in Arang.



--------------------

The preview for episode 3 showed us more revealations (Arang's body gets found!) and is bound to get even more exciting
Left to wait for Wednesday~
