:: Padam Padam ::

I was very, very skeptical at first about this drama. I was never an avid fan of Kim Bum. He was in Boys Over Flower before...and I don't really like the drama. I finished watching Tree With Deep Roots and was looking for another one so I decided to give Padam Padam a shot.

“Padam” which means ‘to thump’ in French is a mellow drama about a man who lived life according to its own course but meets a woman he shouldn’t love and about his breathtaking love for her.

Yang Kang Chil just came out from prison after 16 years. He was jailed because of a murder he never did. After released from prison, he goes to Seoul accompanied by his guardian angel, Lee Gook Soo. Meanwhile, Han Ji Min will play Jung Ji Na, a cheerful veterinarian who loves Kang Chil.



First off. The cinematography is really beautiful. Hands down on this. It really reflects the mood, the surrounding and the poignant motion of emotion of the characters of the moment. Second, the characters are all well-defined..thoroughly developed throughout the episodes.

Beware. There are supernatural elements in this drama. HOWEVER, in that lies its charms. It is well-balanced between the reality that is supposedly pans out throughout the storyline. I felt as if I was watching a great Korean movie and not a drama. The acting is spectacular and full of depth.

I’m on Episode 8 already and I have to say that I love this drama. It’s one of the best I’ve seen in years. The acting is great and there are great chemistry between the casts. The mood of this drama kind of remind me of Friends, Our Legend, in which I love a lot. I guess it’s because of the way it was shoot and the tone of the drama.

Kang Chil is a very interesting character and Jung Woo Sung play this character very well. I was very amazed by Jung Woo Sung’s acting as Kang Chil. It is simply amazing.

I can’t wait to find out what happens next. Episode 6 and 7 were really good. I was blown away when Kang Chil was hit by the car about four times and he kept seeing the pink shoes, and he cried when he realized some of the truths from when he was younger.

I recommend everyone who loves K-dramas as much as I do to watch this one. You will not regret it. Ever.
