Perhaps Christmas was hoping for more, given that its writer Lee Kyung-hee gave us I’m Sorry, I Love You and PD Choi Moon-seok directed What Happened in Bali. But it’s still early enough for Christmas to rise once IRIS wraps in a couple weeks, and melodramas typically start out a bit slower and work up to their big conflicts as they progress. I’m guessing (from pre-show info) that much of this week’s episodes centered around the childhood flashbacks with Han Ye-seul’s and Go Soo’s characters.
Hero is still facing a tough uphill battle; its slight uptick is good, but not really promising in the big picture. It’s an oddball drama whose fun is in its witty dialogue and small comic beats, so it is finding it harder to hook fans when its competition is giving audiences Loud and Big: explosions, gunfire, tears, and tragedy. Despite that, it is earning positive praise among its small but mighty fanbase.
