Dohee-ya (2014)
Is it just about child abuse?
I agree with other reviewers that this is an excellent , albeit dark, film that is well acted. I don't think that one can ignore the pathology present in the young girl. She manipulated her stepfather's situation with deliberate intent. I think, too, that she was also complicit in here Grandmother's death. She is also manipulating Young-Nam; whose own personality has defects. Donee is responsible; but the pathology is a product of her abuse. So to say Dohee is an innocent bystander; I feel is not wholly accurate. The subplots add to an understanding Young-Nam's personality point toward her strengths and weaknesses.
Marry Me (2014)
show won't last the mid season
The premise of this show is tired and contrived. Every episode so far formulaic and more painful than funny. Annie's mouth is going to get her in trouble every time. Jake is going to remain clueless about what a relationship takes to make it work. He will agree with Annie then disagree, make faces or be condescending behind her back. The whole thing doesn't even remotely ring true. As I was watching E03 I just couldn't stand it anymore; and turned the TV off. After the 1st episode I thought it was a little lame; but the next 2 only reinforced my mixed feelings about the show. There's no doubt the cast is talented; they just don't have a good vehicle to support them.
