ADR Sunday- Mad Dog

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Mad Dog had to be one of my top favorites for Chinese dramas

A private team of investigators led by former police investigator and Insurance Investigator Kang Woo. Work undercover to unearth those who try to swindle Insurance agencies out of money by faking injuries.

Kang Woo left the Insurance company he worked for after the death of his wife and son due to a plan crash. He felt there had never been a clear cut answer as to why his wife and child died that day.

This team is made up of a rag tag group of people. Kang Woo, Oh Seo Ra, Park Soon Jung, and I think On Noo-ri. Each have their specialties to bring to the table as they fight against corrup officials and regular people who try to swindle money from insurance companies.

Each with their own skeletons from their past that they wish to forget.

Then along comes Kim Min – Jun, a swindler whose brother had died in the same plane crash as Kang Woo. He throws a wrench in the group by monitoring them and trying to get under their skin. It works.

As time goes the group realizes who Kim Min-jun is and slowly accept him into the group. Together they work to find out what had really happened to the flight where his brother had been accused of taking drugs that caused him to fall asleep and crash the plane.

It’s an intriguing series of twist and turns and eeee… moments.

Asian Drama Sunday (High Society)

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Jang Yoon Ha is a chaebol (elite society) heiress who hides her identity as a socialite and works at a food store.

She wants to find her own man to love. A Man who isn’t going to marry her just because she is a rich heiress but because she is herself.

Enter Park Hyun Sik as her boss who was supposed to be her blind date at one point but instead falls for her co-worker and best friend.

Meanwhile, Jang Yoon Ha falls for Park Hyn Sik’s friend and subordinate. They start a rocky relationship and fight for their rights to marry who they choose.


I absolutely adored this show. You often wonder how often socialites feel like Jang Yoon Ha and want to find men who love them not because of money but because they actually truly love them.

Park Hyn Sik nearly had me in tears when he sat crying for days because his mother refused to let him see his love interest. The ending was quite hilarious though. I truly believe that tis show deserves the 5 star rating.

Asian Drama Sunday – You’re Beautiful

Rating: 4 out of 5.

The title of this Drama is You’re Beautiful or Fabulous Boys.

A.N.JELL’S lead singer Tai Jing’s voice needs a rest. New Vocalist Mei Nan ends up going to the states to fix a botched eye job.

Mei Nan’s agent decides to ask Gao Mei Nu, who is Mei Nan’s twin sister and a nun in training, to pose as her brother until he returns from his eye surgery.

She struggles to maintain a platonic brotherly relationship with the other members of the group, while maintaining her brother’s image.

Eventually though the lead singer starts to suspect something is up and each of the members starts to fall for the quirky temperamental female.


This drama is mostly a comedy. It mostly is dry comedy. I loved it to a point. I adore these shows where the girls dress up to be a man or boy just to be accepted only to in the end be discovered and the boys all have different reactions when they discover that the FMC is actually a girl.
