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 ;)

Currently Watching: Love Rain

Tweet

I’m in love again with Jang Geun Seok’s character Seo Joon, who could resist his charm? It reminds me of his previous role in You’re Beautiful.

who made my oppa cry?

Enough of my fan-girling, let’s talk about the KDrama Love Rain.

First 3 eps were heavy, maybe because it was known from the start that Seo In Na and Kim Yoon Hee will not end with one another. It was really heartbreaking, period. But the sadder part was they were never able to move on and caused each other (and those around them) more heartaches.

Now to the current generation Seo Joon (son of In Ha) and Ha Na (daughter of Yoon Hee) met and fell in love. It was not instant but enough to establish something before they learned of their parents story. Now the four star-crossed lovers are in a dilemma who will give up their love for the sake of another.

I am always hopeful and naïve to think that love will be enough. But reality always prove me wrong.

Same with this KDrama, I want the older gen to have their happy ending too since In Ha is divorced and Yoon Hee is a widow. But cheering on them means Joon and Ha Na’s separation, they would be brothers and sisters by law. I wouldn’t care if it was me, but Joon also have to think of her mom, which is the bitch here.

This is a melodrama so I’m prepared for more heartaches and even dying. Am I bad to even want Yoon Hee to die (but she’s gonna be blind not dying) just to end this complicated set-up or In Ha to have an accident but I cannot afford anything to happen to Joon or Ha Na. Talk about totally into the KDrama.

I want to end this and get over with, I better watch the remaining 5 eps (but afraid to see the ending).

Crazily Impatient over Queen In Hyun's Man Ep12

Tweet

It's been a while since I've been like this over a KDrama, and the male lead is not my oppas Jang Geun Seok, Kim Soo Hyun and Jung Il Woo. 

It stars Ji Hyun Woo (his first KDrama on my radar) and Yoo In Na (whom I watched as the best friend of female lead in Secret Garden). So nothing really special but their team up is sooooo sweet I had to watch the raw (un-subbed) version of Ep 12 and still get giddy over their supposedly date. 

Pls someone sub ep 12 of Queen In Hyun's Man! 

Wed-Thurs KDrama Marathon

Tweet

I finally had time to watch KDramas and unknowingly chose 3 KDrama of the same Wed-Thurs timeslot:

Rooftop Prince

The King 2 Hearts

Queen In-Hyun’s Man

The first 2 will be ending by this week while QIHM will air eps 9-10. I have to wait for at least 2 days to be able to watch it with English subs so my weekend will be another KDrama Marathon.

Is there a good Mon-Tues or weekend KDrama so I could compensate the waiting time?
