Happy Endings

Tweet

Oh I love happy endings! That’s why I limit my drama addiction to romantic-comedies aka rom-coms because I don’t want to add drama to my already dramatic life.

I love dramas but I don’t want drama.

What an inconsistency, right?

So with the last 2 weeks, my May KDrama’s Best Love, Lie to Me and Baby-Faced Beauty ended and given me sweet endings to cherish.

It made me sad for the drama itself to end, I will miss watching the raws, next day recap hunting, and re-watching with eng subs after a few days. My life was that hectic!

I gave myself a few days as breather and now ready to pick new batch of KDrama or TwDramas to watch.

Any suggestions?

I have! Tons of it!

Watchin' BFB

I think the KDrama Baby Faced Beauty is quite underrated.

I happen to like the story and even the characters, I admit I am biased to Lie To Me (because of YEH) and Best Love (it’s a Hong Sisters drama) and at first I am kinda irritated with Jang Na Ra and Daniel Choi’s bickering. But little by little their characters grew into me.

The scenario is also based on a lie and with ep 10 where the lie was taken out in the open, we have the second half (yup, additional 2 eps so we got 20!)to let our heroine salvage her pride and prove to everyone she got what it takes to be a designer. Of course, there’s additional problems along the way. I find Jin Wook’s character kind of cute and lovable. I would be happy to be the bride of a pig-foot-restaurant-owner too!

Maybe if BFB was not shown in May and not pitted to Lie To Me and 49 Days (which ended already and dried my tear ducts) then City Hunter (Lee Min Ho oppa!), they would get more following or more hype. Although among the 3 Kdramas shown in Mon-Tues timeslot BFB rated #1 followed by CH and my fave LTM (huhu).

BFB Fighting!

Too Much KDrama!

Tweet

There’s a lot of KDramas currently airing or about to air, but my sched is full with

Mon-Tues:
Lie To Me
Baby Faced Beauty
Manny

Wed-Thurs:
Best Love

Though I usually watch the eng subbed eps on my Fri-Sat off which is extended until Sun-Mon (for Best Love), I regularly stalked the net for any previews, recaps, news, etc during the entire week.

I am guilty that I cannot even watch the premier eps or read the recaps of

Romance Town
City Hunter
Miss Ripley

Which are getting great previews by the way. I guess I have to write it on my long list of to-watch dramas. To make up, I'll make a general post and a separate one or two later (when I finally had the time to watch it).

Also my heart cannot take any more angst aside from Ah Jung-Ki Joon (Lie To Me) and Ae Jung-Dokko Jin (Best Love) or it will just burst. And I would be one Iron (wo)Man like Jin!

Crazy Drama Weekend

Watched:

Best Love eps 1-3 (with eng subs)
Best Love ep 4 (w/o subs)
49 Days eps 17-18 (with eng subs)
Lie to Me eps 1-2 (with eng subs)
Baby Faced Beauty eps 1-2 (with eng subs)

My emotions were like a rollercoaster, one time I am laughing hard (Best Love, Lie to Me), next I’m crying my eyes out (49 Days). As for Baby-Faced Beauty I’m kinda irritated with the idiotic bickering of Jang Na Ra and Daniel Choi (though I’m still hopeful and plan to watch the next eps).

KDrama: Baby-Faced Beauty

And let the countdown begin!

Today marks the pilot episode of Baby-Faced Beauty, which was on my May KDrama Festival list.

I’m still waiting for the recap or subbed ep.

So excited!

Oh My! I am so excited for May!

To watch (die for) KDramas:

Lie to Me

Best Love

Romance Town

Baby Faced Beauty

City Hunter

Miss Ripley

I’ll be staking Dramabeans for the recaps and Kimchidramas for the subbed videos for sure.

So excited!
