Doctors versus Beautiful Mind

I wished these dramas are not on the same time slot but if I had to choose, I would probably watch Doctors live and Beautiful Mind on the reruns.

Now that the high school love story is out of the way, I can comfortably swoon over Kim Rae Won and Park Shin Hye together. I never thought their chemistry would be so good. Based on description before the drama premiered, I had some reservation with the pairing because I remember watching Kim Rae Won acted when I was still in school! He is like an ajusshi to me. Park Shin Hye is of my generation so I thought there is no way this pairing would work. 

I wished the high school love story serves as a nostalgic memory.. but watching it so real made me feel uncomfortable. Never mind their real age gap is 9 years, a student is a minor and the portrayal should have a clean clear line.While I'm so happy to see the progress being quite fast, I thought that reunite is still lingering a bit inappropriate.

But both are legal now so I am just going to forget that.

As for Beautiful Mind...sigh.

I'm willing to overlook inaccuracy because I'm not a professional. However the methods used in the dramas is a bit overboard and dangerous is an understatement,

I'm watching out of curiosity, it may turn to be the most ridiculous medical drama. 

There isn't one character I'm attracted to. I never quite like Jang Hyuk and Park So Dam character is my least favorite type. She has no sense and acts rashly. I can't get this type of character. I think her character is just very messy. 

The biggest problem in this drama is that I tend to forget which side character for which drama.  I also don't like both are neurosurgeon. So many department...yet both choose neurosurgeon.

Entertainer

I'm dropping the drama because I have other better dramas to watch.

It is not engaging enough for me to commit to the drama and I feel terrible because I don't drop often. The last drama I dropped was The blue bird house, which was a weekend drama.. It's 50 episode long, and I watch like more than half.

Is it really bad that it made me dropped a drama? Despite all the plot twist and strong character profile, I just can't seem to want to like the character or their story. I feel like their flaws are not suitable for their character.

I think it's a case of too much of everything at once that it made me loose interest. One was falsely accuse of rape, one is a single father, one is a mama boy and one is just spoilt brat.Where is that air to breath? Harsh but I hate all the character...maybe except the guitarist, Kyle. He is the most normal one. ahhaha.

Mama boy doesn't bother me too much but somehow I don't buy L.Joe playing a Mama boy.. Kang Min Hyuk character is frustrating. Please writers, don't tell me this boy is a good student and then let him not do anything about his false accusation.

I only watch up to episode 6.. maybe it does get better but for now... I will not finish the drama

YooChun

I can't believe that this would ever happen to my favorite bias ever. Granted that I was lesser of a fan today than back then but it hurts so bad because he is one of the reason I stayed in Kpop for so long.

The feeling I have inside is just enormously overwhelming. I am mad that he possibly did something wrong and sad he was in this huge mess. I am not siding with anyone, I believe in the truth.

I wish it was someone else. I feel bad for feeling this way but I've seen other past celebrities caught in a similar situation and it doesn't end well. Park Shi Hoo case was dropped but his image is forever tainted and Kim Hyun Joong mess is awful.

This is just too much for me to handle. I just want to believe that this is just a nightmare and I can wake up from it.

Fucking frustrated dudes and girls.. if you are fucking horny for some love, do yourself a favour by just fucking masturbate. Get into therapy or  get a better hobby. you are a fucking human not an uncontrollable beast. Don't go messing around with other people that don't want you!

Misaeng



First of all, I need to say thank you to all the team that translate the drama. I think the dialogues in this drama must have been difficult to translate because it was a lot of business and trade jargon.

I read a lot of rave review about this drama but I come without expectation because I knew that love story isn't strong in this drama. I just wanted to know what is the hype was. I thought.. oh this drama is kinda boring...but I find myself already at episode 5, and wants to watch the next episode.

On top of unfamiliar terms and no experience working in an office environment, I don't know why a person like me would watch the drama. I think the drama is character driven so I find myself relating to each characters. 

"what have you been doing for the past 26 years?"

when that line was said out to Geu Rae (Siwan) I could feel my heart wrenching because I can totally relate to the statement. I don't know what I've been doing either. I feel so small whenever that lines comes around. 

Baek Ki (Kang Ha Neul)looks a lot like my first crush. Men who looks good in glasses is my weakness. I was helplessly in love with Baek Ki, no matter how jealous or petty he was, I can't hate him. I thought his character is absolutely realistic. I've seen people like him before.

Apart from the fact she is a female.. I don't think I could relate to Young Yi (Kang So Ra) character. I do feel sorry for her troubles but I think she is a girl crush material all the way. I don't get why Mr. Ha being so hard on her. She is so gorgeous and intelligent, please don't disturb her!!

The crazy dog, Suk Yool (Byun Yo Han). He reminds me of Heechul so much, I don't hate him at all. I love his love for Geurae. I was so sad when he chopped his hair because it is not Suk Yool without the long bob. Yeah, he looked better with the haircut but it's boring and Suk Yool is never boring.

Our Dong Shik...why isn't he married by the last episode??? Opps spoiler. He is such a teddy bear sweetheart, I don't get why he isn't taken. If he exist in real life, I think he would definitely get married for sure. 

I feel quite empty now that I have finished Misaeng in less than a week. I seriously lack of sleep and I might just withhold watching drama for a bit. I have a long list of  anticipating dramas though. I think I might quit after Another Miss Oh ends. I hope the day never comes and Another Miss Oh will continue to show forever. 


Let's Eat 2


If it wasn't for DooJoon and Seo Hyun Jin, I might not choose to watch this drama because I am not a foodie. I like food but I can eat whatever that is convenient. I don't like queuing up for food, if I am at the food court, I will never choose the one I need to line up.

All the food shots were pretty but all that eating scene is kinda over the top for me. I don't like watching people eat or the fact people see me eat. I skip all the eating part. I like the random fact on food and the difference style of eating between Dae Young and SooJi.

The side love story is typical. I thought it was predictable as usual. The mystery element was annoying. I didn't think it was necessary but maybe others like it. I did like the villa stories, and the Pomeranian with a lot of nickname, (Dog, Happy and JooYoung) was so adorable. 

Kwon Yool seems to like to play the character a lot. I feel like the past dramas I've seen him on seems like the same person. I think he suits those role well but I can see him playing a villain someday. I hope he would expend to other type of character some day.

Doo Joon is very much like Dae Yeong. I see no difference. So many Beast reference and I love Yoseobie cameos! 

Perhaps because I'm quite obsess with Another Miss Oh, I don't find the chemistry berween Seo Hyun Jin with Kwon Yool and Doo Joon works for me. For some odd reason I thought she looked a little different on this drama that in Another Miss Oh. I think she got prettier lately.. maybe, SHE AND ERIC ARE DATING??? lol

I've been seeing Hwang Suk Jung everywhere! I was watching Misaeng, Let's Eat 2 and Mr. Jo Deul Ho at similar time.. imagine the confusion. haha

Shut up & Groove



Dean can do no wrong in my books. I don't how he does it but he is my answer to music. I apologize for starting this post with Dean although this is Heize song. I have not check the credits yet but I'm pretty sure Dean wrote and produce the song because it sounds like him a lot.

I was a bit surprised to hear her sing. I recognize her name from Unpretty Rapstar, I have not watched the show but I do read articles on it because of my interest in Korean hip hop. I thought she did well. It isn't my first listen to Heize, she did a collaboration with Chen earlier on this year I think for SM Staton.. It wasn't my favorite song. I don't really enjoy her raps.

The singing method that Heize used in the song I find a bit annoying because it can sound nasally at times but I cannot deny that it actually works. It has a lot of groove and it works well against Dean's voice.

Her rap part in the song almost felt non existence.. it was as if she just speeds up a verse that sound like she was sing-talk. I don't mind it, I think it's cool if rappers don't rap in every song. I have one complain on the song. What's with the bark?? Sure it fits the song but it kinda breaks the mood for me.

Dean's ad-libs are on point. Some singers can overdone it but not this fella. He is so good. I wish he got more popular and do more TV appearance so I can watch his performance more often. From the not many video found, I think his LIVE performance is too good to be true.

If Heize continues to keep on doing similar things, I'll be interested to learn more about her. I don't know if I could have high hopes just because I like 1 song.

Drama progress

I'm currently watching completed Let's Eat 2, Misaeng, It's Okay It's Love, Bubblegum and Marriage Contract.

It's a lot. My life is a mess trying to keep up with these dramas on top of currently ongoing dramas.. just for the record, I'm watching Another Miss Oh, Lucky Romance, Dear My Friends and Beautiful GongShim.

I decided to drop Entertainer and it marks the first time I'm dropping a drama when I'm quite far long into the drama, I stop around episode 8.  I'm waiting for the romance part to progress quickly before picking it up again. Reviews are saying it gets better. Dear My Friends actually turn for the better for me. I still think the plot are so scary and terrifying but I felt like the grandmas are too charming to drop this drama so I'm going to complete the ride.

Lucky Romance is kinda a bust for me because I came in with too high expectation. Am I expecting too much that I feel no chemistry on the 1st episode that is making me feel the bubble has fizzled out? I mean.. I just saw the promotional poster for Suzy and Kim Woo Bin's Drama and it was on FIRE.. Now I'm quite pessimistic on that drama. haha

I'm afraid of Another Miss Oh. I'm going to enjoy it for the moment but I have a bad feeling. T_T Beautiful GongShim is something I watch to kill time and it's painfully predictable...except for Ahn Dan Tae. I think I might drop this drama because I feel like I watch this kind of drama over and over again.

Let me spoil it for you. Ahn Dan Tae is Joon Pyo. Gong Shim will date Joonsu but she ends up with Dan Tae. Joonsu will be the villain in the drama. His parents would probably want him to marry Gong Mi. Gong Mi will learn a lesson. GongShim would either end up working in the kitchen or continue painting.

Bottom line, I don't think that this drama would surprise me at all.

Neighbourhood Lawyer Mr. Jo Deul Ho



When it comes to Korean drama, I like to stick with the usual romantic comedy or melodrama because I like the familiarity. However the recent years I think Korean drama has evolved to be more than just the typical poor girl meets chaebol heir.

However I admit that I'm still quite sceptical on law drama because of past dramas I have seen, It's not really memorable..I don't have a great memory to begin with but I remember wanting so much for a love story on Kim Hyun Joo and Lee Dong Wook in Partners.. I watch I can see you voice only remembering the love story and the scary ajushhi. 

I was going to pass on Neighbourhood Lawyer Mr. Jo Deul Ho because it was based on a webtoon and I'm a bit bitter after Cheese in the Trap. After DotS was done, I was surfing around to find a good drama to watch and read a lot of good reviews on this drama so I got curious and end up watching 8 episode straight. 

Another reason I didn't want to watch the drama is because the leading man and lady had a jarring age gap. I don't really have problem with couples with wide age gap but honestly I just don't want to feel uncomfortable. Thankfully the leads are not a couple but a partner in work. Love story is put in the back burner so if you're looking for that maybe skip this drama?

To kill time, I enjoyed the drama. I personally find the drama is a bit draggy at the end. I'm not trying to be logical but some scene is quite the stretch. I wished Kang Sora's presence is more prominent. The humor antic are fun and adds color to the drama.

I'm really glad they didn't end up extending the drama. It was reported to extend 4 drama because the following drama had a bit of problem.. I thought it was going to end at 16 episode. 

Koreamie~!

Hello! It's end of May and this my first post of the year. *nervous laugh It's okay..because nobody read this blog right? haha. ...
