Hot Young Bloods (Korean Movie)

Hey Everyone!

I just finished another Korean movie after a while, called Hot Young Bloods. It was an extremely cute drama about teens in the 1980's. The plot revolved around Young Sook and Joong Gil. JG was the biggest play-boy in the high school. He had seduced almost all the girls in the school except YS. YS was the school Jjang (gang leader/best fighter), and so JG avoided seducing her (also because a Jjang at another school claimed her to be his girl and threatened JG). YS however, had a huge crush on JG and continuously sought his attention. JG never gave YS a chance, especially as soon as Soo Hee (a beautiful transfer student) showed up. JG follwed SH around and wanted to seduce her. In the meantime, YS was becoming more and more jealous of JG's affections for SH. The rest of the movie revolved around a few revelations that made the plot even deeper. I really like this movie because it showed that there are many sides to stories, and without realizing the truth, you never know what you are missing out on! I give this movie a 5 out of 5 stars because it had several surprises. That's it for now.

Two Weeks

Hey Everyone!

So, I suddenly finished another drama today called Two Weeks. It was honestly amazing! It has been a while since I wanted to marathon a drama because I was on the edge of my seat during every episode! If I didn't have to study everyday, I would have marathoned the whole series in less than two days. The drama was a suspense themed drama. It was mainly about Jang Tae San and the many obstacles in his path to save his new-found daughter's life. Initially, TS had no idea he even had a daughter until one day, his ex-girlfriend, Seo In Hye showed up. Their daughter, Seo Soo Jin had cancer and needed a bone marrow transplant. TS was shocked to find out that he had a daughter, but he agreed to do the test, and miraculously, he was a match. The surgery was to take place two weeks later, but in the meantime, a gang-leader decided to frame TS for a murder. TS knew that he had to keep away from infections, so he decided to escape from his imprisonment (since the people that framed him, wanted to kill him). During his escape, the Prosecutor Park Jae Kyung and detective Im Seung Woo were the ones trying to catch TS. JK had her own motive to catch TS, and SW (who was in charge of TS's case) happened to be IH's fiancee. The rest of the drama revolved around TS trying to clear his name and save his daughter! This drama was so intense, that I finished the series within three days. I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because it kept me glued to my screen the whole time. That's it for now.

I Need Romance 3

Hey Everyone!

So, I just marathoned the drama I Need Romance 3 this weekend! Initially, I needed something to fill the gap after watching Shut Up Flower Boy Band. Of course, it helped that the lead male actor (Sung Joon) was in both dramas (lol). Anyways, this drama was just what I needed this weekend. I have been recovering from a cold, and what I really needed was a sappy romantic comedy. And that is exactly what I got. The drama was mainly about Shin Joo Yun and Joo Wan. JY had taken care of Wan when he was a baby because his mother paid her mother to be a nanny (Wan was 6 years younger than JY). When Wan turned 9, he emigrated to the US, but before he left, he promised JY that he would come back one day. 17 years later, he came back to Korea as a successful music composer and writer (by the name of Joo Allen). When JY found out he returned, she called him and told him not to bother coming to live with her (since her memories of taking care of Wan were nothing like he remembered). However, Wan had other plans. In the meantime, JY was dumped by her boyfriend, yet she was emotionless; she did not cry or make a scene or even ask him to stay. A few days later, Wan was DJ'ing an event where JY had gone with her company colleagues. There, she found Wan staring at her, and she felt exhilarated that such a young guy found her attractive (she had no idea who he was). But unfortunately, Wan was there with her arch nemesis, Oh Se Ryung. SR had stolen JY's first boyfriend many years ago, but what hurt JY the most was that SR was her bestfriend. Since this incident was the first time the two had interacted in years, the two cursed each other right in front of Wan. Wan had no idea that it was JY (possibly someone that resembled her), and refused to believe it was her because the JY he remembered was a sweet and innocent girl. But to Wan's dismay, it turned out that it was his JY. So, Wan went on a mission to bring back the old sweet JY. The rest of the drama revolved around Wan trying to make JY "human" again whilst trying to figure out his and her true feelings. There were a few other cute side stories as well. I really liked this drama because it was more realisitic. It showed that you cannot give up on love and just be with someone because they are the "right fit". You should love someone that makes you feel loved. I felt that was a good interpretation of love as I still feel that way about my fiancee (10 years and counting). The drama was relatable and it also had a very "Sex and the City" vibe. I definitely give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

Shut Up Flower Boy Band

Hey Everyone!

I just finished another drama today! The drama was called Shut Up Flower Boy Band. It was honestly one of the best "music" genre dramas I have seen. It was mainly about a group friends that were part of band called Eye Candy. Initially, the group was made up for six boys; Lee Byung Hee, Kwon Ji Hyuk, Lee Hyun Soo, Jang Il Do, Seo Kyung Jung, and Kim Ha Jin. But then, unfortunately BH died from an unexpected accident. After than incident, the boys went on a journey to get the song BH composed to be known to the world. Their main goal was to enter in the Rock Festival because before BH's passing, he had signed them up for it. However, to perform, the boys had to stay in school. Due to that, JH became the new band leader and helped the boys get on the stage at the Rock Festival. The rest of the drama involved the band growing closer and learning more about themselves through their musical journey. As well, there were developing feelings between JH and Im Soo Ah (who was also BH's muse). The drama was great because it showed how strong of a friendship the boys had. Through many ups and downs, the boys grew to trust eachother and enjoy music while doing so. It was really nice to see something so refreshing for once. I definitely give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

Let's Eat

Hey Everyone!

I just finished one of my favourite weekly dramas called Let's Eat. As people say, this drama was definite "food porn". I have had my fair share of wanting the food they aired on the show. The drama was about Lee Soo Kyung and her adventures with food and love. SK was a divorcee that just loved food. She lived next to Goo Dae Young and Yoon Jin Yi. Majority of the drama revolved around SK and her love of food, with delightful clips of food from all over Korea. Another aspect of the drama was the friendship between SK, DY, and JY. JY was in love with DY right from the start, whereas Kim Hak Moon was in love with SK since College days (almost 10 years). SK worked for HM, but was always completely oblivious to his feelings for her because he was a complete jerk to her (he thought he was taking revenge on her for rejecting him those years ago). Throughout the drama, there was also a more serious matter, about a "don't ask" murderer. Somehow, SK got involved in that matter, and so the rest of the drama uncovered that mystery. This drama was really great because it always made me anxious for the next episode. I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars and will definitely put it on my all time "top 5" K-drama list. That's it for now.

Can We Love?

Hey Everyone!

So, I finally finished a weekly drama again. I should be finishing another one this week. The drama was called Can We Love? and it starred Eugene (one of my favourite actresses). I mainly started this drama because of Eugene, but I realized it was a really good drama. The drama was about three "nearing age 40" women; Jung Wan, Sun Mi, and Ji Hyun. The three had been friends since they were younger, but over the years they became a bit distant due to their own lives. Jung Wan was a recently divorced single mom with a dream to become a script writer. Sun Mi was a successful Interior Designer, but still single. Ji Hyun was a devoted housewife, living the perfect life, with a loving husband and two children. The drama started with JW finally getting a break by getting to write for a new movie directed by the famous Oh Kyung Soo. Soon after JW joined the film, she introduced SM to the company (since she was an Interior Designer). While discussing preparations for the film, both JW and SM fell from KS. Meanwhile, JH was seen to be living the perfect life, yet life was not so perfect behind the scenes. It was true that she had a loving husband, but her mother-in-law was very abusive and soon enough, an ex showed up. The rest of the drama revolved around the love triangle between JW, SM, and KS, as well as JH coping with her not-so-perfect life. I really liked the drama because it showed that no relationship is perfect and that everyone needs to have good friends to rely on in their times of need. I give this drama a 4.5 out of 5 stars only because it did not make me anticipate the show every week. That's it for now.

No Breathing (Korean Movie)

Hey Everyone!

I was not looking for a movie to watch tonight, but somehow came across this new movie. It literally just got posted on a website, and I honestly started it thinking it was a new drama. The cast was star studded, and the movie itself was really cute. The movie was No Breathing, and it was about Woo Sang (Lee Jong Suk) and Won Il (Seo In Guk). The two met when they were children at a swim-meet, but after Won Il won that one match, he never swam again. However, Woo Sang continued to swim and became the national swimmer. Fate suddenly brought both of them together again when Won Il got expelled from his high school and Woo Sang got kicked off the national team. Won Il came in with a bubbly and carefree personality, whereas Woo Sang was very serious about making it to the nationals again (to be on the Olympic team). During their time together, they learned that swimming should be fun and that friendship is just as important as competition. The rest of the movie involved the two mains learning about what swimming means to them. I really liked the movie because I love movies with sports themes (especially since the Sochi Olympics just ended). Anyways, I give this movie at 5 out of 5 stars because it had lots of laughs. I really enjoyed the main cast's acting as well. That's it for now.

Daddy Long Legs (Korean Movie)

Hey Everyone!

So, I was in the mood for another movie tonight, so I watched Daddy Long Legs. It's an older Korean film, but it was a great movie. The movie was mainly about Young Mi and her "Daddy Long Legs". After YM's parents passed away, a "Daddy Long Legs" appeared. He gave her lots of gifts and was always such a mystery. One day, when she finally entered a broadcasting company, she started sending messages out to "Daddy Long Legs" via the radio show that she wrote for. Because she suddenly moved to Seoul for the show, she was given a house to live in. There, she started reading the owner's emails (about a 10 year love). Soon after, she herself found someone to love; Jun Ho. She kept on bumping into him everywhere, and soon after, realized that she was falling in love with him. The rest of the movie revolved around YM trying to figure out who the house's owner loves and starting her own romance. The movie was written really well. It was actually based on an American novel written by Jean Webster. All I can say is that, this movie has lots of unexpected twists! I really liked it. Hope you all give this movie a chance. I give this movie at 5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

Queen of the Night (Korean Movie)

Hey Everyone!

Wow, this must be my Korean movie week. I just finished another great movie called Queen of the Night. It was mainly about a very nerdy and cowardly man, Young-Soo, that kept going on blind dates but finally ended up with the gorgeous Hee-Joo. He somehow wooed the beautiful Hee-Joo by consistently visiting the sandwich shop she worked at. 3 years later, the two were married and living very happily. One night, they ended up going to Young-Soo's class reunion, where Hee-Joo competed in a dancing competition to win a kimchi frige. The fact that Hee-Joo did such a sexy dance, confused Young-Soo because he thought she had stage fright. The rest of the movie revolved around Young-Soo trying to figure out Hee-Joo's past. It was a very interesting drama, which showed that trust is a very important issue in a relationship. I give this movie a 5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

Accomplice A.K.A. Blood & Ties (Korean Movie)

Hey Everyone!

I watched a really good Korean movie yesterday called Accomplice. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of Korean movies, but this one was exceptionally good. It was not your typical "abduction" plot. The movie was mainly about Da-Eun (Song Ye-Jin) who lived a great life with her father. Her father treated her like a princess all her life, and always did everything for her. However, one day, she watched a movie based on a true story about an abduction that ended horribly. At the end of the movie, they played the abductor's real voice. The voice sent chills down Da-Eun's back because it sounded just like her father. Not only that, the line "It ain't over, 'til it's over" was said by the abductor (a phrase her father taught her). This began Da-Eun's obsession with figuring out her father's past and to see if there is link with the boy that was abducted many years ago. The movie was very interesting and touched upon a subject that is prevalent in many countries; child abduction. It also showed that sometimes you grow close to your abductor, enough to want to protect them. I really liked this movie and would give it a 5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

You Who Came from the Stars

Hey Everyone!

I finally finished another drama last night! The drama was called You Who Came from the Stars and it was great! I don't usually complete dramas with "fantasy" as an element unless it's really good. This drama was about a man (currently) named Do Min Joon that came to Earth 400 years ago on his space ship from another planet. He got stuck on Earth because he missed his flight back home since he was helping a little girl. Now, he had 3 months left to live on Earth before his space ship came back. However, during those 3 months, he met Chun Song Yi; an eccentric actress and model. SY was everything MJ hated about a girl, except for the fact that she resembled the little girl he had saved 400 years ago. It turned out that he had saved SY when she was younger (12 years ago) because she looked identical to the little girl he had saved when he first arrived on Earth. He then started to follow SY around to see if she is the same person. It turned out that she was definitely not the same girl, but during their interactions with each other, he grew to have feelings for her. In the meantime, Lee Hwi Kyung's (SY's childhood friend and someone madly in love with her for 12 years) brother had murdered one of the actresses that SY was rivals with. The media made SY into the reason for the actress' "suicide", however during the time of her hiding, she became closer with MJ. But, HK's brother was now after SY because he thought SY knew the truth and had evidence against him. Of course MJ would not have any of that, so he kept showing his powers in front of HK's brother to stop him from hurting SY. The rest of the drama revolved around developing feelings between MJ and SY and the obstacles in front of them, as well as the long struggle to put HK's brother behind bars. It was a very interesting drama and the plot was unique. I would give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because of its originality and acting. Even the ending was very appropriate (won't spoil it!). That's it for now.
