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!

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!

OTP

Tweet

I was reading recaps for the non subbed eps of Lie to Me and Best Love on Dramabeans and A Koala’s Playground (a new found drama blog) when I encountered the acronym OTP more than I could count.

What? Me a certified Drama Queen isn’t aware of OTP meaning?

Can’t believe it myself, and with a hurt pride I googled “OTP in dramas”.

And OTP happens to mean One True Pair/ing.

Well, in case of Lie to Me it would be Ae Jung and Ki Joon then Ae Jung and Dokko Jin for Best Love.

Another vocabulary on my already- cramped brain.

Crazy Drama Weekend

Tweet

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).

Wierdo

Tweet

This'll be real quick, coz I just want to share my wierdo side.

I was laughing my ass out while watching eps 1 & 2 of KDrama Best Love aka the Greatest Love, loving the characters of Ae Jung and Dokko Jin. But the wierd part is I can't understand what the hell they were saying. It doesn't have an english sub title yet. Wahaha.

I'm lovin' Best Love, with or without eng subs!

KDrama: Best Love

Tweet

Whoops! I miss one day.

That’s because the Kdrama: Best Love started yesterday.

It’s the seventh of The Hong Sisters’ Dramas, they’re one of the sought for Screen Writers in the KDramaland. They just wrote the scripts for


1. Delightful Girl Chun-hyang, 2005
2. My Girl, 2005-06
3. Fantasy Couple, 2006
4. Hong Gil Dong, 2008
5. You’re Beautiful, 2009
6. My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, 2010


My fave among those are You’re Beautiful and My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. I still have to watch Hong Gil Dong and Fanasy Couple though, but definitely not this May (as my KDrama sched is full-packed!).

Anyways, reading the recaps at Dramabeans made this (meaning ME) non-Korean speaking girl so so happy!

Waiting for eng subbed eps!

May KDrama Festival

Tweet

Oh My! I am so excited for May!

Korea seems to have their own drama festival this May. I have at least 6 new KDramas on my watch list, not to mention those started in April which will still run (like 49 days and Manny which I will make separate posts).

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!
