humor


Be forewarned—spoilers scattered throughout.

A blog can be like a diary. Or if you’re Doonesbury’s Rick Redfern, it’s your non-paying, disrespected gig after being tossed out of the hanging-by-the-skin-of-their-teeth traditional news outlets. Either way, you’re blogging to reach the masses (if not, your posts would be all private, which indeed, some of you may be doing—not me, though).

So in looking at my stats, even though the comments area is still a vast, wasteland yet to be explored, it seems it’s my previous post about Korean drama that gets the most hits, and pretty much one of the few posts where anyone bothers to click outgoing links.

In any case, watching online kDrama is one of my biggest web addictions, so I’m pleased as punch to blog about a new series that tickles my kDrama addiction with no end in sight because it only just started airing in Korea…

So without further ado, I bring you: THE KING OF DRAMAS (this post is writing itself)


. . .
Disclaimer: my previous excitement over ARANG AND THE MAGISTRATE proved to be premature—it started out with a glorious, bright, beautiful bang that about a third of the way through, petered into a hiccup making me sadder by each subsequent, excruciatingly deflated episode. It was definitely watchable but the latter part of it most certainly didn’t match up to the beginning part.

Maybe KING OF DRAMAS will go down that same route, but for now, I am wearing my ear-to-ear silly grin seeing KIM MYUNG MIN (김명민) sparkle like a sharply cut diamond, with his seething, snarling delivery that’s as razor sharp as it was back in the day when he played the sadistic conductor, cut-you-at-the-knees, torturer role in his other starring kDrama, BEETHOVEN’S VIRUS. (Hard to describe his anti-hero charm; you have to see it for yourself.)


. . .
In KING, Myung Min plays the egotistic, arrogant producer, Anthony Kim, of a Korean entertainment production company who eventually must go against a seemingly sweet, mild mannered, assistant writer, Lee Go Eun, played by JUNG RYU WON (정려원), who’s proving to be a pretty good comic actress. She had a hysterical scene in her previous kDrama, HISTORY OF A SALARYMAN, where she’s talking on her cell in a coffee shop and her sweet, innocent face suddenly contorts into a non-stop tirade of coarse, street gutter swearing you usually hear coming from big, tough cops or gangsters (she’s anorexic petite).


. . .
In KING, Go Eun has a job that’s on the lowest level on the totem pole in the entertainment industry. When Go Eun tries to get an extension on a bank loan, the bank employee sneers at her insisting an assistant writer (transliterated as secondary writer) was as good as being jobless doing no more than gopher type tasks.

The beginning of the first episode gives a nice—albeit brief—overview of kDrama segue-waying into an actual shoot in progress (for those of you who know PARK SHIN HYE (박신혜) from YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL (silly fluff), she does a hilarious cameo in a boring scene that has the director snoozing, not to mention the leading guy who’s so bored, he falls asleep while holding Shin Hye dripping drool on her face while she plays dead, a burning car wreck in the background).


. . .
I salivated over the scene between the CEO and his minion about a production’s main screenwriter who, right before the final filming of a series in progress, balks over the ethics of having to write the final scene with a product placement: (the subtitling is not professionally done but I leave it as is since I don’t know Korean, ergo I don’t know the intention of what’s being said)

Anthony Kim (CEO): So how much percent of a probability to miss the broadcasting time?

minion: Well, I’m not so good at math… I majored in Literature, so…

The scene immediately cuts to the crazed screenwriter (not naming her because she has a short role), a 20-year veteran, who gets paid 20 million won per episode. Over the phone, she verbally spars with Anthony, who insists she write in a segment where orange juice in a carton is the drink of choice just before the main star of the drama dies.

In the end, the screenwriter refuses to compromise her integrity as a writer and submits the screenplay of the hero’s death sans the orange juice in a carton.

Without a hint of scruples, Anthony concocts a whopper of a lie on the spot convincing the assistant screenwriter, Go Eun, to revise the crucial death scene adding in the orange juice (that’s helping fund the drama production). To the low-on-the-totem-pole assistant writer, the authoritative figure and demeanor of a very convincing CEO plus the temptation of writing an important scene is too juicy to pass up.

Anthony is a hands on CEO; he changes bits and parts of the scenes as Go Eun feverishly envisions and types out the drama finale on the fly, typing on a laptop in a van en route to the production site, minutes away from the actual “lights, camera, action.” When she questions his direction, Anthony spits out specifics and statistics of the ever important ratings (in kDrama, screenwriters change elements of the plot/script on a daily—if not minute-by-minute—basis to boost ratings) that has the CEO’s majored-in-Literature minion looking up at the ceiling trying to comprehend the math. This is a devilishly delightful turn for JUNG MAN SHIK (정만식) casted here as the bumbling minion when most folks will remember him as the k-pop girl band’s evil manager in THE GREATEST LOVE.


. . .
It’s an adrenalin rush to see screenwriting in action as Go Eun is pushed and pulled by Anthony’s spur of the moment scene changes, the corresponding ripples of change reflected in the hectic, running around like headless chickens of the production crew and actors filming the up-to-the-moment revised scenes while the background music swells with the sounds of church choir music you hear in satanic horror movies.

The brazen absurdity of the hero walking along the beach towards the ocean, waves lapping near his feet, a gun in one hand and a carton of orange juice in the other, is ridiculous yet satisfying.

It’s a wrap.

How the CEO negotiates with an oblivious, earbud plugged, head bopping courier to get the tape into the studios in time for the show’s last broadcast compounds the consistent notion that everyone’s dealings with Anthony is like making a pact with the devil.

By all appearances this is a comedy, but a kDrama is not a kDrama if it doesn’t have its gut wrenching moments. Anthony is not just a devil stand-in, nor is his verbal bile simple excesses of Machiavelli—he shows a hint of a soul that understands human pain although we are not clued into the specifics of it yet.

KING is absolute wicked fun. Whether it will continue to have high caliber writing and acting remains to be seen but the first episode has been a heart pounding rollercoaster ride that leaves a suspicion of trouble brewing for Anthony; whether you hate him or love him, it’s motivation to see more of KING.

Myung Min didn’t get the girl in BEETHOVEN’S VIRUS but neither did the other lead guy, heartthrob JANG GEUN SEOK (장근석 wasn’t the lead in HONG GIL DONG but I liked him best in that kDrama where everybody was rooting for the bromance between Geun Seok as Prince/King and Hong Gil Dong); it didn’t matter because the spectacle of watching Myung Min chewing up the scenery in that gargantuan way of his is more than satisfying.


. . .

Getting the girl may be equally elusive in KING seeing as Super Junior boy-band idol, Choi Si Won (최시원 of ATTACK ON THE PIN-UP BOYS, a super fun movie where the boy-band makes fun of themselves), is set to make his appearance in episode 3, playing himself as a male diva (divo?).


. . .
If Go Eun ends up being Anthony’s eventual love interest (more satisfying since they’re intellectual equals and watching them work together is intense) that’s just icing, if it comes to pass; right now, their tenuous partnership/enmity is enough cake to keep this kDrama addict satisfied.

RECAP from previous Episode 6a:
Am I dead? And what‘s with this two-ton deadweight on top of my chest?


Episode 6b: THE BURDEN OF LIFE, AND DEATH

I’m not dead. My eyes can’t open because I got eye boogers up the wazoo. The impact from the s/he/it/idiot that flew full speed at me must’ve triggered some glands to squirt out big time eye boogers.

After tearing off the eye boogers–ripping off my bloody eyelashes along the way–I see the deadweight on my chest that was the s/he/it/idiot who, like a honey bee that stings, died on impact, its dead carcass of a body bonking me on the head and flopping onto my chest. But when I got it off my chest…

RECAP from episodes 1 – 3:

When me and the birds flew to the moon, the tree dripping with lollipops/lollipops and Blackberries vanished the moment bobbleheads popped out of bubbles and came crashing down shattering into millions of pieces that regrouped, morphing into giant strips of turkey bacon but when we bit into them…


Episode 4a: INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION

Poof! We were each individually transported into another space and time. I dunno what happened to the birds but where I was seemed like something from the future. There were lots of people all over only they weren’t walking around; it was like they were swimming in the air–not like the crawl, more like the breaststroke or treading and diving in the air, swim/flying around other people or swooping/swooping into tall, thin building structures.

RECAP from Episode 1 and Episode 2:

When me and the three birds flew to the moon, it felt like we were in heaven on account of the tree dripping with lollipops/lollipops and Blackberries but the big action was when the bobbleheads popped out of bubbles that came crashing down shattering into millions of pieces that regrouped, morphing into…


Episode 3: HUNGER

…giant strips of turkey bacon using their wrinkly wavy bodies to spring up and down in lock-stepped organized lines. Like marching ants encircling an object, they took great care to avoid us (unlike some kamikazi bobbleheads we know).

Seeing as all this time me and the birds didn’t have a bite to eat we jumped at the chance to get some bacon down our throats. It wasn’t easy because they’d been carefully avoiding us but after a couple of tries we each were able to jump up (or fly atop of, for the birds) onto the darn things sinking our teeth (beaks for the birds) into the bacon.

RECAP of Episode 1

The three little birds and I flew to the moon where we saw a lollipops/lollipops and BlackBerries laden tree but when we went to pluck the pops, some kinda bubbly like thingies oozed up and started popping all around us. And what popped out from those bubbles were…


Episode 2: AN ENCOUNTER WITH MISSILES OF A DIFFERENT KIND

Bobble-heads!!!

All kinds of bobbleheads, like baseball bobbleheads, hockey bobbleheads, Star Wars bobbleheads, ‘N Sync/Conan bobbleheads, hawaiian bobbleheads, Star Trek, Betty Boop, Captain America, KISS… heck, anything-you-can-think-of bobbleheads!

Funny thing was, the moment those bobbleheads popped out of the bubbles, the tree was like, poof! It vanished into thin air, just like that!

Man, just when I was salivating for some sweet/sweet treats.

The thing is, when the bobbleheads popped out they eventually came crashing back down like guided missiles targeting us. We had to scramble for our lives, running in zig zags/zig zags to avoid the once innocent bobbles that shattered on contact into a million pieces. Just like in the movies, the shattered pieces regrouped, morphing into…
