Hundred Year Inheritance

Hey everyone!

It has been a while! The thing is, I have recently started to watch dramas weekly, so until a drama finishes, I won`t be posting on here. Today, I finally finished Hundred Year Inheritance. This drama was a great drama with my two favorite actors as leads (Eugene and Lee Jung Jin). I had started watching this drama a few months ago, and it finally ended yesterday. I waited all day yesterday, but the drama was not fully subbed until today. It was totally worth the wait! The drama mainly revolved around Min Chae Won and Lee Se Yoon. It was a family drama, so there were lots of side stories. The drama started off super dramatic, as CW was still in her first marriage to Kim Chul Kyu. Her mother-in-law was horrible to her, where she would yell at her and beat her (she even made her sign a pre-nup). In the first few episodes, we were introduced to CW`s struggles with her mother-in-law. Eventually, when she finally agreed to give her husband a divorce, her mother-in-law sent her to a psychiatric hospital and made her stay there for a while. During that stay is when CW met SY. She saw SY (who was visiting his friend - a doctor at the clinic) and begged him to take her out of there. Initially SY thought she was crazy and was just trying to escape, when she really shouldn't. But then, later he overheard people talking about how her mother-in-law brought her there and wanted to keep her there without her permission. Eventually, he asked his friend about it, and found out that CW was telling the truth. However, by the time he found out, CW had already escaped, and she had a terrible fall during her escape. While SY was driving in the rain, he spotted her on the road and took her to the hospital. While there, he realized that CW had lost her memory, and since SY was the first person CW saw, she assumed that was her husband. The two from then on started to get to know each other. CW still had her memory lost when her mother-in-law returned for her, and so took her back in. CW was very distraught, and eventually just gave in since SY denied being her husband. During the time CW was at her in-law's home, CK realized that he still loved CW, and kept her from finding out the truth about what his mother did. Eventually, her mother-in-law went back to her old ways, and made CW feel like she did something wrong. In the meantime, she attempted to frame CW for adultery with SY because they kept bumping into each other whenever CW was in need. Finally, CW regained her memories, and tried to get her divorce again, however she wanted things in return (such as property, etc.). Her mother-in-law did not want that, so she framed CW`s father for faulty electrical work. CW finally gave in to a divorce without any payment, and left that terrible place. Prior to the divorce, CK was becoming really attached to CW again, but his mother made CW lie and act to get the divorce from him. When he found out it was all a rouse, he was really upset, and chased after CW even more! The rest of the drama revolved around CW becoming independent again (though with SY's help). There was added drama between these two, since CK's sister was in love with SY from a long time ago, and so she tried to cause a lot of problems between CW and SY getting closer. Some other side stories involved CW`s father falling in love and marrying a woman that ended up also causing problems between CW and SY`s relationship from flowing smoothly. One of the main plots of the drama was to find someone to run CW`s grandfather's noodle factory. Eventually CW took over and made the Hundred Year business a success. I won`t give away the rest of the story, as there were lots of different side stories and of course the many obstacles in the way of CW and SY from getting together. However, I definitely enjoyed this drama a lot and will miss watching it every week! It was an excellent drama with a little bit of everything a drama needs! This was definitely one that I will have at the top of my list of dramas. Please do check it out and let me know what you think/thought about the drama! If you don't know yet, I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars!

Some other comments (spoilers):

- The baby switch was definitely predictable!
- I love the Eugene and Lee Jung Jin combo!!! Super cuties together (he has gotten cuter now with the chubby look, but was super hot in 9 ends 2 outs)!
- The interactions between the two leads were adorable!
- The CK and new wife combo was cute, but wow was CK annoying!
- I could not stand CK's sister! What a little brat =P
- When her grand father died, I cried so much! He was such a cute little grandpa!
- I would love to try some of those noodles they kept making
- SY's biological mother was really pretty!
- The cliffhanger after SY's accident had my heart drop when his hand fell (seemed like he died!!)
- Loved the last episode! So glad the old mother-in-law apologized to CW and also learned her lesson!

That's it for now.

Flower Boy Next Door

Hey Everyone!

So, I finished another drama today called Flower Boy Next Door. I have to admit, I have been waiting a while to watch this one (due to exams and all). It seems like a very comedic and fun loving drama, but there was talk of a lot of sensitive issues. The main characters were Enrique (Que) Geum and Go Dok Mi. Initially, QG arrived in S. Korea to visit his brother, however his visited started by him losing his first love to his brother. In the meantime, DM hid in her room all day (possible agoraphobia), but fell for QG's brother since she used to see him across from her window all the time. When QG came along, he figured out that DM was peeking at his brother, and so he went over to confront DM. From that incident on, the two kept seeing each other for different circumstances (e.g. DM was editing QG's book). Eventually, QG was on a mission to help DM come out of her apartment more often (his little project before heading back to Spain). After much efforts, he did succeed. However, DM's neighbour, was madly in love with her for a very long time. Unfortunately for him, QG reached DM quicker, with his boisterous personality. At first, DM did not like QG's constant approaches. But, eventually, she grew to like his bubbly personality. She also appreciated the fact that he cared enough to help her get over her fears of being in public places and coming in contact with large crowds. Later, it was determined that DM kept to herself due to an incident in the past (betrayal, loss of trust, bullying). After many encounters, DM and QG started to fall for each other, but QG was supposed to leave for Spain again. He almost left, but returned back to DM because he was just too worried about her. He later realized, that worry was because he was falling for her. DM felt a bit betrayed since he was going to leave so suddenly. But when she saw QG return for her, her spirits were lifted again. The rest of the drama revolved around the relationship between QG and DM and the struggles to achieve their dreams. The drama was very cute and simple. I give this drama a 4 out of 5 stars. It was also nice seeing Park Shin Hye on TV again. Please let me know what you thought. That's it for now.
