PPL and Amnesiac Chaebols

PPL and Amnesiac Chaebols

Another week, another batch of news to fill the void in my heart as I wait for my new dramas. Overly dramatic statements aside, this week I consider the difference between good and bad PPL (product placement) through some translated pieces about the type of PPL and its numbers."Shopping King Louis"has dropped plenty of cute goodies for us and"Woman with a Suitcase"is packing her bags for Dramaland with stills and a teaser.

Product Placement Vs. Product Peddling

Productions need money and so product placement is a necessary evil. It is also one which works rather well, asthis pieceexplains. Some commentators tend to hate the forcefulness of this practice, while others rush to fiercely defend it. I belong in the middle crowd, sharing the sentiment ofthis articleon the PPL of 2016. PPL is necessary, but if your scenes resemble a home shopping channel, you are doing it wrong. That does not deservea medal, Dramaland.

From Riches to Rags

"Shopping King Louis"is certainly aiming for adorable with itsnew posters, the making of which you can also see invideo form. Everything out so far, including thisfirst encounter teaseris looking really fun and fluffy, which I hope the series can remain throughout. I just found out that our hero suffers from memory loss, which will surely make his adapting process to common life interesting. Can we get an even cuter "Haeundae Lovers"? I will be cautiously optimistic.

Giggles and Suitcases

A new life and a new romance is in the future ofChoi Ji-woo's"Woman with a Suitcase", the series about a woman who faces hardships in her life and career before picking herself back up. The series has releasedphotosofLee Joonswitching between office worker and pyromaniac, as well assomeofJeon Hye-bin. The giggles and office flirting in itsfirst teaserhint at a light tone, at least to begin with. The series starts airing on September 26th.

As much as I like dramas, I do welcome this little break between their seasons and my coverage of them, as we all need to recharge our batteries sometimes. I feel rejuvenated and oh so ready for"The K2"and"Shopping King Louis". Before that, my first look at"Fantastic"will come out next week.
