I personally enjoyed watching “Perfect Bride” and “Whisper,” which both end this week. After looking at some previews, I am sure the following drama, “Breezy Love” will not disappoint my Sunday evenings. There have been many emails and confusion 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 half way through the series. She was last seen opening up 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. Mipoong is a bright person who defects to Seoul and meets Jango, an honest South Korean attorney who is kind and straight forward. The series is 53 episodes in length and is full of twists and turns.
