I Need Romance 2

Hey Everyone!

So, recently, I've been a little busy with school and family things, so I didn't really have much time to watch many dramas (also, many did not air due to the recent S. Korean ferry accident; my heart goes out to all the families mourning). However, as soon as my exam was over, I decided to give something light hearted a try because too many stressful events have happened to me recently (this drama was a nice escape). The drama was called I Need Romance 2. It was an interesting story involving Joo Yeol Mae and Yoon Suk Hyun. The two grew up together as neighbours (their mothers were best friends) and eventually fell in love with each other. However, SH always kept YM from knowing his deepest thoughts. He never let her in. Due to that reason, the two got together and broke up several times. The drama started after their 6th time getting together. But, that did not quite end pleasantly either. Eventually, YM met Shin Ji Hoon, a sweet coffee shop owner. The two also had an interesting past, where they had met many times in passing (of course, YM's memory was weak, so she did not remember such encounters). It did not take very long for YM to finally give in to JH, but during this time, SH was realizing what he had lost. The rest of the drama revolved around the three characters and their love triangle. Not only that, but there were cute side stories involving YM's two best friends. The drama was cute and I liked the character development. I also had major "second lead syndrome" *sigh*. Regardless, it was what I needed right now, so it was nice to keep myself preoccupied with this one. I give this drama a 4 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

Bride of the Century

Hey Everyone!

So, I recently finished another weekly drama called Bride of the Century. It was a really good drama that had some interesting twists. The drama was mainly about Choi Kang Ju and Na Doo Rim. Initially, DR lived in the countryside but was discovered by Jang Yi Hyun as a look-a-like to his sister (Jang Yi Kyung). YK was engaged to KJ, but decided to run away before their engagement was made formal. That is when YK's mother and YH went to ask DR to play YK for a while. At first DR was hesitant, but she needed the money for her grandmother's surgery. KJ was a very cold and serious person, until he met DR. Initially, he was fascinated by this unusual person called YK (well DR), because of all the strange things she did (e.g. cake eating contest). The two eventually fell for each other, but only to figure out that KJ's family has a curse; each first born son's first wife will die. Turned out, that YK and her mother plotted to have DR come because they wanted her to marry KJ and die, then YK would take her place. The rest of the drama revolved around DR trying to make the decision to marry KJ, even if it meant death for her. As well, various other mysteries were solved throughout the rest of the drama. I'm not usually a fan of supernatural, but this was a well played one. The acting done by the lead actress was excellent in both roles. I would definitely give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

The King 2 Hearts

Hey Everyone!

I just finished the drama called The King 2 Hearts. It was an interesting drama about the need for a collaboration between South and North Korea. The drama was mainly about Lee Jae Ha and Kim Hang Ah. JH was the Crown Prince of South Korea, whereas HA was a military officer from North Korea. The drama began with JH coming out from the army and being sent to join the WOC (World Officers Championship). This was the first time Korea could qualify for it because the two nations came together to join forces. At the training, JH met HA. JH was a bratty and selfish Prince, whereas HA was a boisterous military personnel (the two clashed from the start). JH had no interest in the joining of forces between the South and North, but his brother (the King) was determined to have the collaboration (for peace between the nations). However, not only did the King plan the collaboration, but he wanted to up the antics by having JH marry a North Korean girl. In the meantime, JH had to go through many obstacles to finally trust the soldiers of the North. Eventually, Club M's president (John Mayer) came into the picture. He was a psychopath that wanted the throne to himself, so he used his influence (his company deveoped military weapons) to cause more trouble before a collaboration could occur. The rest of the drama revolved around finding mutual trust between North and South Korea and their struggles with John Mayer. It was a really interesting drama that showed the struggles between the two nations. It was nice to see that they fought for peace till the end. I give this drama a 4.5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

After the Banquet (Korean Movie)

Hey Everyone!

I just finished another Korean movie called After the Banquet. It was a cute movie, that started off with a wedding between friends from college. It had been 15 years after they met, and all of their friends from the college days came to the wedding except one. After the wedding, they all decided to spend a few days together with the bride and groom since it had been so long since they all saw each other. However, suddenly, Mi Rae appeared, a 15 year old girl that was the daughter of the missing friend. It turned out that their friend died one year ago, and since all the friends gathered together, she wanted to find out who her father was. The rest of the movie showed the relationships between each character and the discovery of who MR's father was. It was a cute movie but I admit to have skimmed through a bit because it was a little slow. I give this movie at 3.5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

Emergency Couple

Hey Everyone!

I finished the drama Emergency Couple a few days ago, but had a few things going on that kept me busy. Since I came on after finishing another drama today, I figured I should write this review as well. The drama was mainly about Oh Jin Hee and Oh Chang Min. The two got married when they were young, but because of differences, they got a divorce. Now, a few years later, the two met again in the Emergency department. The rest of the drama revolved around JH and CM becoming close again and learning what went wrong in the first place. The drama was a cute romantic comedy. I give this drama a 4 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

Beyond the Clounds

Hey Everyone!

I just finished another drama just now (well, actually, I finished a different drama last week, but will post that summary after this, since it's fresh in my mind right now). Anyways, the drama was called Beyond the Clouds, and it was really good! I usually avoid melodramas, but since this was a new Han Ji Hye drama, I had to give it a try. The opening scene was intense, as we saw Jung Se Ro for the first time in a dramatic manner. From that scene, they go 5 years into the past to show what had happened to cause SR's angst. It turned out, SR was a simple young adult, that lived a simple life. However, his father was a thief by profession and lived in Thailand comitting his thefts. SR was worried about his father, so he went to Thailand to see what was going on. In the meantime, SR's father was planning a big diamond theft with Park Kang Jae and Seo Jae In from Bel Laffair. In Thailand, there was an international jewellery exhibition, where Bel Laffair's CEO, Han Young Won was displaying her jewellery. The diamonds that SR's father was going to steal, happened to be in the hands of YW's fiancee Gong Woo Jin. On the night of the theft, WJ figured out what was going on and followed the thieves, so KJ decided to lock WJ up in their hideout. Unfortunately, SR ended up arriving to Thailand on the night of the theft, and found WJ in his father's house. Suddenly, out of nowhere, WJ was shot. SR was startled, so he called YW to inform her that WJ was shot. That night, was the night that changed many lives. By the end of the night, SR's father got into an accident, WJ died, and poor SR was arrested and framed for the murder of WJ. Because SR was arrested, he could not pay for his father's surgery, so his father also passed away while SR was in jail. Five years later, SR came out of jail and was on a mission to get revenge on those that put him behind bars (i.e. anyone related to Bel Laffair). The rest of the drama, revolved around SR learning the secrets behind his arrest and his long journey to getting revenge and falling in love with the wrong person. The drama was very intense and the story was very touching. I give this drama a 4.5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

A Werewolf Boy (Korean Movie)

Hey Everyone!

So, I finally decided to watch the movie A Werewolf Boy. It was a touching story about Soon Yi and her family moving to the countryside due to her respiratory illness. There she met an unusual boy that grew up in the wilderness, whom they named Chul Soo. Initially, SY could not stand CS, but eventually decided to tame him. The rest of the movie revolves around SY learning more about CS, and CS learning how to be human. It was a cute movie, but I'll be honest, I started watching it because Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Young starred in it. They did a great job in the movie. I give this movie at 4.5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.

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.
