Doctors Review

Phew I'm on roll. This is my 3rd post in a day! I'm just striking while the iron is still hot. hehe.

Doctors was that drama, the drama that made me look at the clock and rushed to my laptop so I could stream it as it was shown in Korea. I was really obsess with the drama.

The level of chemistry between Kim Rae Won and Park Shin Hye is perhaps one of the best from this year. I wasn't really comfortable when they were Teacher-student relationship but once that passed, I could enjoy comfortably.

Unfortunately that did not last long. As time went by, the romance just got very cheesy. I couldn't stand it. If I was at the scene I would probably be slapping some senses to this couple. I couldn't look away because again, their chemistry is no joke but urghh so much cheese.

The medical part of the drama does nothing to me and it's fine. I wasn't in for the medical drama, I just like the characters in the drama. I read a comment on other sites saying that this isn't a medical drama, it's a romance drama in a hospital setting where two lovers happen to be doctors. I thought that made sense so I didn't expect much from the medical part.

I thought that the drama is a bit draggy to be 20 episodes. SPOILER I couldn't care much about HyeJung's grandma case. I just couldn't relate to it. I lost both grandmothers last year and I missed them dearly but I don't dwell too much on how they died. Everyone may grieve differently but HyeJung is too extreme. it's been 13 years, and what in the world did she do the past 13 years? SPOILER

The politics.. yawn.

Kim Min Seok did a really good job in this drama, I'd be mad he doesn't win any awards

Liar Game Review

This is a Korean Drama review.

This drama is an adaptation of the Japanese manga that I have not read yet. I might if I have the time. haha most probably not because I only read Detective Conan these days.

Liar Game is one of the drama that I constantly see rave reviews in various site. I thought it being only 12 episodes, it would be easy to watch.

I'd say it definitely lives up to the expectation. It is very thrilling and uses a lot of logical reasoning that I'm fond of. I like how each character reacts to the twist but as for the games, there were one or two that I find a little boring.

Boring as in, not the game that makes me intrigue. I'm not going to elaborate more in case I would have spoilt it. I probably would failed at the game so hard though. haha because I'm a lone ranger and the game is best played as a team.\

I really like Kim So Eun character but why do dramas make nice people stupid? Can't they make nice people smart too? I'm literally shouting towards the screen to tell Kim So Eun not to be so nice.

Romance plot isn't strong in this drama but I wish it was. I totally can see Lee Sang Yoon and Kim So Eun together..I think other fans would disagree with me though. Not a spoiler but that ending is leaving us much desire for another season.

I'll be anticipating that too!

Beautiful Mind Review

I wasn't sure I was going to like Beautiful Mind. I'm not particularly fond of Jang Hyuk, not that he's a bad actor.. just not my type.  I was intrigue with Park So Dam, she earn rave reviews from her film so I wonder if she would live up to the expectation. Based on the summary before the premiere... I thought it was interesting so I decided to give it a try.

I was really close to drop the drama because of Gye Jin Sung. I think Park So Dam did nothing wrong but her character type is my least favorite. That brass kind of attitude is a no-no for me. I like people who has a better action. Ironically though.. I actually stayed when she mellowed down. I like her when she fallen in love with Lee Young Oh. 

Lee Young Oh is a really special character. I think Jang Hyuk totally delivered his role to a tee. I just wished he was a little younger. Would it hurt to shave his moustache so he would appear younger? I love his voice though. It sounded really cool. 

I had a bit of a crush on the second lead but he is just becoming increasingly disappointing.. I don't hate him too much, he still have some good value in him just that I felt like it would be nice to see him being in love with someone. 

The side characters are full of fun. I love the power rangers although they seem very random. Dr. Yang is so adorable! I wished he was shown to have a good relationship with his crush. The cases in this drama is interesting and it matched well to the development of Lee Yong Oh character.

What I don't like about the drama? Obviously the politics. I think politics can be an interesting plot but I can't even bother when it doesn't really help the character growth. Beautiful Mind is a drama that should centralise on  It mostly felt like filler that I really don't care about. 

This drama was shorten from 16 to 14 and I'm really upset about the decision. It was announced when I was just getting started to enjoy the drama and they crushed my heart. I felt like it should have just have been 16 so the ending doesn't seem rushed and that we have a proper closure. 

I hope that if you're reading this before watching the drama, that the fact the drama is shorten doesn't deter you from watching it. I still think the time spent on this drama is worth spent. A lot of dramas that has been shorten is kinda bad but this drama is just unlucky. 

Why I don't watch sageuk.

Sageuk is a term for traditional/historical genre for films or drama.

I've watch a couple of them, Hmm.. Let me try to list them down.

1. Tree With Deep Root
2. SungkyunKwan Scandal
3. Hwang Jin Yi

Modern Sageuk fusion

1. Goong
2. Splash Splash Love

Yup. pretty much that. I felt like I might have watch 1 or 2 more...but I forgot. History isn't my favorite topic but I like to know every single detail of a drama so I think watching sageuk would make me learn about history..and I would then feel guilty because my own country history would be forgotten. Hmm.

I'm not sure whether I'm relieved or sad the fact that end of the year is approaching with more sageuk line up, Yesterday KBS premiered Love in the Moonlight and next week SBS will premiere Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Not sure about MBC yet.

The boys are ridiculously tempting. heh.

I might try to watch because my number of currently watching drama is depleting but I have a lot more dramas yet to finish..like Marriage Contract, Lucky Romance,Wanted and Squad 38 from this year and previous years Bubblegum and It's Okay It's Love

I've finished Liar Game and Beautiful Mind which I have yet to write a review. I'm so busy!

Beautiful GongShim review

Technically I didn't really finished the series. I was bored so I skip to the goodies and call it a day.

This drama really should have been a 16 episode drama instead of freaking 20 because it's so draggy and I ain't got time for that.

The drama started very cute and it was very easy to follow. I thought it was super predictable and even made my own prediction. So let's see what I got right! Look away if you don't want spoilers!

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.


I got almost all right! So yes, Ahn Dan Tae is Joon Pyo, Gong Shim did not date JoonSu, but she did end up wth Dan Tae. Joonsu isn't really a villain.. I don't know okay not villain if one is only being a mama's boy. I was right that his parents want him to paired up with Gong Mi. Love Seo Hyo Rim but I hate Gong Mi so not so sure Gong Mi learnt a lesson but I think she did. Gongshim end up working in her field.

PHEW. SPOILER ENDS!

The kidnapping plot was weak, I think a university student could have wrote the story better and the villain is just lame.  I don't know why they didn't continue the slow-mo thingy or the fact Gong Shim freaking wore her wig while having surgery.. yup. yeah a lot of minor mistake.

I like that Joonsu is a wholesome person..but a bit unrealistic. Can anyone be THAT nice?

It's a cute drama for sure, I think most of the viewers stayed because Namgoong MIn and Minah were adorable together.

Dear My Friends Review

Dear My Friends has been a whirlwind ride. I wasn't sure I could go on, I contemplated of dropping the drama but somehow I knew that it's not right to mess with our elders. So I just brace it and continue to search on what I like.

In every drama I watched, I somehow feel like I can relate to the characters and this drama is no different. The character I'm most attached is Choong Nam. She is the main caregiver to her family, owns a cafe, loves art and sarcastic as it's best. All characteristic that I can relate, I don't have a cafe but I do dream to own one some day. I kinda can see me not wanting to loose to the young ones and kinda not refer myself as old. I think I'm half way there because I feel small for not achieving more in life. I'm a merely diploma graduate.. felt like I could at least get a proper degree.

JeongAh is another character I can relate to because she loves to give and care for somebody. I don't think I'll get marry but if I do.. I probably be like Jeong Ah. I wished she just care for herself a little more.

Sungkyun is not the worst character in my books, he's really traditionalist person so I don't think he's bad person, he is just educated such way.  I hate Sungjae the most! How could she toyed with Choong Nam's heart? I like that he is a smart guy but don't hurt my Choong Nam's heart!

I love love Hee Ja. She's so lovable character and I'm so sad on what happen to her. I think she is the most realistic character because I have seen character like her in real life. I knew she has a stubborn streak and yes, it is very difficult to care a stubborn person. You have to be clever not to make her feel like she's a burden.

Ssang Boon, Nan Hee and Wan, the only 3 generations family is not my favorite story. I can understand not wanting an cheating guy but not wanting someone who has disability is mind boggling. It is hard to live with someone with disability but it's not impossible. Not being able to walk isn't the worst thing in life.

Not forgetting our star, Youngwon seems to lead a glamorous life. She was in war with Nanhee but I'm glad they resolved the problem. I don't particularly care for her story.. it's not boring but I can't really empathise her story.

I'm trying my best not to give spoilers.. I think if you have nothing better to do, this is a good drama to watch. It may be a little depressing at some parts but happiness is there too. I want everybody to know that before they are known as mothers or grandparents.. they were like us, very youthful.
