Last week on KDrama The Master's Sun

Tweet

Can't wait to watch the last 2 eps of The Master's Sun but at the same time don't want it too end. I'm gonna miss Tae Gong Sil and Joo Joong Won. Will miss Secretary Kim and Kang Woo too. So it's really a mixed feeling.

Ep15, let's us have the closure of Joong Won's bitter and tragic first love. The one that left him unable to trust and love. We saw how the twins Hee Joo and Ha Na's identity got mixed up, who master mind the kidnapping and eventually led to the death of one of the twin. All along Joong Won thought that Hee Joo just used him. He was right but he didn't know that the other twin Ha Na is the one he fell for and died for him. Hee Joo was the mastermind and then later on lived as Ha Na. 

But enough for that, I am still wondering what Gong Sil will accomplish going with Jin Woo the other ghost seer. On some FB groups they were hinting the possibility of Joong Won and Gong Sil (in ghost form) meeting up in China some years back thus cementing their fate/ destiny theory. 

As long as I get my happy ending, I don't have any complaints ;) 

Pretty Boys in KDrama: My early Christmas gifts

Tweet

It's beginning to look like Christmas... in KDramaland!

I've been really left behind with my KDrama addiction these last few months, seen only a few here and there. Maybe that's why the KDrama gods gave me my 3 ultimate oppas in their own KDramas before the end of 2013 to bring me back to my senses.

Jang Geun Seok will play title role Pretty Man, couldn't agree more. I don't have any details yet but it will air sometime in October.



Jung Il Woo will have a Weekend Drama titled Gold Rainbow with UEE. I'm not particularly keen with a weekend drama (50 eps) and UEE but if my Il Woo oppa is there, nothing can stop me.



Kim Soo Hyun will play alien in The Man From Another Star. I'd want to be abducted if i'll be with him forever.

Then there's also Lee Min Ho, Jung Yong Hwa, Lee Jong Seok, Kim Bum, Kim Woo Bin among other pretty boys with current or coming KDramas. I really need to buckle up as it will be an exciting ride, fangirling style ;)

2013 Mid-Year Stats for Drama Queen

Tweet

Hey, time went by soo fast!

Would you believe I only had a single post for the 1st half of 2013?

What happened?

I felt guilty and sad :( .

But there's no use crying over spilt milk, therefore

I plan a comeback!

Pls watch out for it ;)

My current drama series

Tweet

Though I haven’t blog about the latest Korean Drama series, it doesn’t mean I stopped watching those. I can’t imagine myself not watching anything in a week. That’s how I am into these drama series.

In those 5 months I’ve watched Arang and the Magistrate, Nice Guy, Full House Take 2, School 2013, Flower Boy Next Door and Civil Servant level 7 among the few I can remember. The last one is still on episode 12 with few more weeks to run. It’s a legal drama series with romance and comedy twist. I am not particularly into this kind of genre but I can’t find other drama series that interests me. I am checking That Winter, the wind flows or Five Fingers as my next in line. I guess after watching Arang and the Magistrate and Flower Boy Next Door, every other series fail into comparison. I can watch these two again and again, and still smile and feel giddy every time. I’d love to have my own flower boys next door specifically Enrique with his antics. Nice Guy is more suspense with love and revenge as theme. School 2013 on the other hand is about teenage pressure or problems. And they got lots of problems if I must say.    

I also check the new site blip tv which specializes on web television. They host new and emerging series which are not the same with the mainstream movies and tv series. But you can find more entertaining series than on regular tv or cable channels. It’s sure nice to have lots of options when it comes to watching online shows.

I plan to update my blog again on the latest Korean drama series, I need to fit it into my schedule with all my work and social responsibilities. until then please wait for me and my nonsense blabs.      

Back Online

Tweet

It’s been a while blog. I’ve been busy, very very busy. But as the saying goes, all work and no play makes a dull life. With a recent 4 day holiday I make sure I got plenty on the play mode. And catch up with all Korean and other best drama shows I could watch. I just finished Korean dramas Big, I Do I Do, Arang and the Magistrate, Panda and Hedgehog. I am also near the ending of Nice Guy and planning to start Faith and Gaksital. Then there’s the new series of Yeon Eun Hye and Micky Yoochun titled I Miss You. And I hope I get to blog about those series too. I especially love Arang and the Magistrate, love Shin Mina and Lee Jun Ki.  

With all my Korean dramas I was really pleased to chance upon this site where a new trend, web television is the focus. Here I get to see something new, funny, interesting shows or series like never before. I was usually into Korean drama series so I wasn’t aware much about the other TV or web series. I am guessing in a few weeks or months this site will be a hit, and I get to see and enjoy them first. You read it here first too!

So if you want something new, hip, unique, entertaining, educational to watch, check out blip.tv. They have a series called In The Internet which is both educational and reality series. Bestsellers is about girlfriends and books, I totally fit in! If you’re into suspense thrillers try Desturbia. Scifi geek, then Frontier Guard may fit your bill. I tell you they have a lot more! Just checking out all the titles took me a great deal of time. I’m sure you’ll find your kind of series.

Currently Watching: Switch Girl

Are you one of us? I mean a switch girl?

I guess most, if not everyone is guilty of putting a mask (not necessarily a make-up) or putting a facade in front of other people. We want others to see our good side, highlight it and keep within ourselves, our family or friends what we are truly made of. I don't think it's technically lying but just putting your best foot forward.

This JDrama is a manga adaptation so it's a lot of non-sense and I actually enjoyed both the manga and drama. Ha! I admit to being a switch girl myself but i need not just an ON and OFF switch, maybe NORTH, SOUTH, EAST and WEST or even 1 to 10. That's how complicated I am.

Here Nika has an OFF and ON switch, while on OFF mode she's an otaku, cheapstake, messy, silly, etc at home. But while on ON mode, she's cute, stylish and proper. 

When Arata (the boy she likes) discovered her 2 personalities, that's where all the fun and craziness starts.
