The Whirlwind Girl | Review

The Whirlwind Girl Synopsis: a girl’s whirlwind journey to mastering Yuan Wu Dao and three men’s journey in pursuing that whirlwind girl.

Overall tone of the drama is light and breezy. You’ve got three guys chasing this one girl. The girl is pure and angelic; the guys are either a serious dude, a cocky dude, or a kind dude. Pretty much standard stuff. The drama balances out the romance and the sport element rather decently.

The Whirlwind Girl Episode 1

I’ll only be recapping one episode to introduce the drama and then I'll write a full review on it later.

In short, this drama is a long shot from being a home-run but it’s like playing a really good catch and throw game. You get what you expect. And you get quality.

My Amazing Bride Review

Here’s my basic synopsis: it’s about a sane, wonderful woman falling in love with an intellectually disabled genius, wrapped up with a plot involving the dethronement of a king. 

This drama was completely overlooked. It’s got quality in terms of acting and plot. Despite the kiddish opening theme song, the drama’s got more heart than the silliness it’s desperately selling. True to its nature though, it was fun and zippy without being overladen with draggy clichés. If it’s a plus for you, you probably don’t need a box of Kleenex.
