Reply 1997 Review

Watching the drama, I wonder how would it feel like watching it live back in 2012. I wasn't a big Kdrama fan back then, I would just watch whatever I like on KBS or SBS channel and that was it. I do know that this drama was such a big hit and everyone is talking about it.

I have watch some clips here and there but I don't know the story apart from 1997 top stories. I'm a big Kpop fan so I naturally know about the history of how Kpop first started. Sech Kies is now reunited (minus one member) so I feel like watching this drama to reminisce.

Busan accent is the best! I really need to study more on Korean geography, I think it's the Gyeongsang do dialect? Anyway, if I'm talking to my dogs, it sound weird now because I mixed with some satoori. Yup, I do speak Korean to my dogs. haha

Is the reply series all about the husband search? I though this one was sort of weak. I didn't really have to wait till the last episode to find out who was the husband. I thought 1988 was quite interesting one. I have yet to see 1994 but I already know who is the husband so I might just watch to see Sung Dong Il and Lee Il Hwa. 

If I were to put myself in this drama, I would probably be Yoo Jung, not the fact I'm brazen with guys but the fact I can't pick a side. But I would probably like H.O.T better because I'm quite loyal like ShiWon. 

The Yoon Brothers story is very fantasy like. I can't help but to roll my eyes whenever their achievements are mention. Especially the older one. Actually I can't believe that he would like ShiWon at all. It's kind of wrong is so much level. The fact he is her sister former boyfriend, her teacher and the age difference is just too much..

I'm glad that TaeWoong had a good relationship in the end though. 

It definitely feels different to watch it today because I already know what would happen and the hype isn't there anymore but I felt like time spent on watching the drama is worth it. It was fun to see the family relationship and the close friendship is endearing. 

I love all the meta jokes and like how I know most jokes. I guess that's one of the good thing to watch it now? if I watch back in 2012, perhaps I wouldn't get it.

Let's Eat Review

I'm doing things backward. Hahaha. I watched Let's Eat 2 first then this one. I thought it would feel awkward..but it wasn't.

Here's a weird fact, I don't watch anything older than 2/3 years because of the phones they used. I find it cringe worthy to watch older model phones although it's really not much different. I watched Reply 1997 (will do the review next) and hated to see the old phones. I don't know why it bothers me so much than it should. Speaking of which.. I think starting from last week, Samsung is retracting the Note 7 PPL from dramas, now it's Samsung S7 edge. Looks like lucky no.7 didn't work on Samsung. Who's bright idea it is to skip no. 6 then?

I am not a foodie at all but I do like facts, similar to Let's Eat 2, I skipped all the eating part and just focus on the food facts and the stories. I prefer this storyline because like Jin Yi, it is my dream to live alone. I have a similar suspicious syndrome like Lee Soo Kyung so I relate a lot to her character. I like that she's a nice but smart person! like finally a nice character that is smart.

Barassi is the perfect drama dog. I'd replay his scene a lot because he was so adorable. I like that he is a character own it's own instead of a decoration. Goo Dae Young never changed huh? He is really friendly and I wished I know someone like him. The side characters are fun yet realistic.

Jin yi might be the closest to be unrealistic character because she's so nice and bright but who could hate her? She's such a bubbly character and I love that she gives that good vibe in the drama. If we have more characters like Jin Yi in this world, I definitely think the world would have less depression.

The romance game in this drama isn't strong. It's cute but I don't come for the romance. I just enjoyed the friendship between neighbours and how they live their lives alone. I liked Let's Eat 2 but this original one is why Let's Eat 2 exist so I do prefer this drama better.

Cinderella and 4 Knights Review

Meets my expectation.

Except that my expectation was nothing.

Haha. bad joke, I'm sorry.

I'm well into a Kdrama addiction that I watched anything remotely interesting to me. I thought I was going to slow down watching drama but my resolution in 2016 was to watch more Kdrama.. Can I say best resolution I have ever made in my life? Sad but fun nevertheless.

I was mildly interested about the glitz and glamour. I grew to like the secretary so I stayed for him. I think I lost because he got little part. hah. I wish he had a bit of a love story. like anything! Why call it 4 Knights then???

I'm gonna sound pretty mean so skim through this paragraph. I don't get NaEun's appeal at all. She's not ugly but I don't feel she's pretty? Especially so in acting. For the love of Kdrama and Kmovies.. Please Naeun, stick acting to your A Pink music video and nothing else. I don't think I want to see you improved. I wished they would switch the step sister to play Hyeji role instead because she is a better actress.

The conflict in the drama is predictable and the medical part in the drama apparently is very flawed. Hmm well Kdrama...

Overall I think it's not going to be the drama I will think from time to time and possibly forget I ever watch it. The most memorable part is the fact that HyeJi is such an annoying character. If only the writing could be better. I hope it won't deter Park So Dam from doing drama. She's a good actress and I love seeing her on screen (more so than Kim Go Eun)
