    A Wife’s Credentials (fin.)

    (I’m really good at this updating once a month thing, huh?)

    I feel like I get like this whenever I finish an exceptionally good drama — Misaeng being the most recent example — but A Wife’s Credentials (jTBC / 2012) is in my heart of hearts. On paper, a drama about a housewife trying to educate her son and falling in love with his handsome dentist sounds boring, but I assure you it is not! This show is definitely the best of the best, maybe even among the Top 5 of all the dramas I’ve ever watched. (Someday I’ll be brave enough to do a definitive ranking.) The opening chords of The Byrd’s “Turn! Turn! Turn!” get me all glubbed up and it’s only been a week.

    (Trying to update from my tablet…)

    I started A Wife’s Credentials on my flight home today and it is safe to say I was captivated by the first two episodes. There wasn’t anything remarkable about Warm & Cozy for me to recognize Lee Sung-jae but daaaaaaang he really burns it up with Kim Hee-ae.

    Subject matter was a surprise to me – I went into it for the Ahn Pan-seok/Jung Sung-joo/Kim Hee-ae combo, but it’s very mature and emotionally “raw”. Feeling feelings kind of stuff. It’s also interesting to see the societal/personal fallout AFTER a speedy/emotionally consuming affair… things happened so quickly (not TOO quick) and I’m still just on episode 7. Definitely a must watch.

    (Getting back into the swing of watching dramas, but probably won’t get too serious until after early November.)
