I enjoyed watching “Perfect Bride” and “Whisper,” which are both ending this week. After watching some previews, I am sure the following drama “Breezy Love” will not disappoint on Sunday evenings.
I received many emails from viewers confused about “Perfect Bride,” as the character Heo Da Hae (played by Kim Gyu-ri), Gab-dol’s older sister who always got into financial trouble and ex-wife to Jo Geum Sik, disappeared more than halfway through the series. She was last seen opening a chicken restaurant in the countryside and didn’t show up afterward. The series was extended 11 episodes, and actress Kim Gyu-ri did not extend her contract with the series.
“Breezy Love,” also known as “Blow Breeze” or “Windy Mi-poong,” is about a North Korean defector who moves to Seoul and meets Jango, an honest South Korean attorney. The series is 53 episodes and is full of twists and turns.
