Dramaland

I started watching 2 new dramas lately, but they're so good! Honestly, there are a lot of great dramas out right now. And I could try and practice some self control by limiting my drama plate, but then I would think about all the great stuff I'm missing and then I wouldn't be able to focus on anything else.  I think I made the right decision. Age of Youth 2 NOOOOOO it can't be over!! There is so much that has been unresolved. We know now that Sung Min has concrete feelings for Ji Won, he's even acknowledged them.  But he's decided that it's better to keep things the way they are. WHY!? Ji Won has admitted that her relationship with Sung Min might lead to something more, but who knows if she was earnest in this confession. Eun Jae has finally let go of Jong Yeol, or has she? Ye Eun has a long way to go before she's fully recovered. Her family might stunt her recovery forever, actually. Her grandmother asked about her health and said she didn...

I managed to watch a lot of drama episodes recently. I'm not sure what that says about my time management or my priorities, but when things are tumultuous as they have been for me these past couple weeks, you need an escape. While You Were Sleeping I kind of begrudgingly started watching this because I knew it would be really popular just because it stars Suzy and Lee Jong Suk. I thought it would be vastly overrated like Descendants of the Sun. I didn't think I would like it but I really do. Hong Joo and Jae Chan are just so undeniably charming and I absolutely love them together. I also really loved Kim So Hyun's cameo on the show. I love her, she's great in everything she does, and I wish she could have had a more continuous role. And yay for Tae Hee oppa from Goblin (actor Jung Hae In) for finally getting a meatier role in a drama. So basically I just love the entire cast. I'm intrigued that Woo Tak and Jae Chan can see the future through their dream...

It's so damn hot outside. I just want to feel a breeze while I walk down the street, crunching leaves.  Age of Youth 2 I've watched up to episode 6 with subs and episode 7 without subs. I absolutely loved the first episode. It was such a great transition from the last season to this new one. Second seasons are done so rarely in kdramas, and when they are they are they feel like spin offs or completely different series. This one feels like a true second season, though. Eun makes for an interesting new character, but I do miss Kang unni. I really don't like the new Eun Jae. What exactly is Park Hye Soo doing that she didn't have time for this? With the combination of supposed character development (which went in the wrong direction, if you ask me), and a completely new face, she just feels like a completely different character. I know it's not the actresses' fault, it's the writers'. Also Eun Jae's storyline sucks. In the first season, s...

As classes begin again, all my drama watching time tragically disappears. Even when I do find time to watch my favorite shows, I get distracted and miss important moments. So I haven't been able keep up with very much, but I'm still trying! Bride of the Water God 2017 Hey, look I actually finished something! Actually this is the first drama I've finished since Strong Woman Do Bong Soon back in April. Overall, I thought it was very visually appealing. The color scheme and set design was really nice. So Ah's rooftop house and office are literally my dream. It did feel, however, to be quite hollow. It was pretty, but there wasn't a lot of substance to back it up. And I think that's ironic actually because that's something a lot of people say about the original manwha and yet fans are frustrated at how much was changed. I actually did try to read the manhwa and was a little disappointed. I didn't get past book 2 though, so maybe it gets better? T...

I got wisdom tooth surgery, which served as the perfect opportunity to lie on the couch with my puppy and watch tv for 3 days. I watched as many drama episodes as I could before I fell asleep. And then my week got very hectic with a lot of traveling, but at least I don't look like a chipmunk! Bad Thief, Good Thief As the plot unravels rather quickly, so does my interest. I just finished episode 21 and Pan Soo already knows that Joon Hee is actually Min Jae. Min Jae is fully aware of his father and brother being in his life. Min Jae discovered Dol Mol is J, and so does pretty much everyone else at this point. It feels like the drams is nearing its end since so much has been done and revealed but there are 29 episodes left!? What else is there to be done? And Joon Hee is starting to piss me off a little. Even if he wants to teach Dol Mok a lesson about what being a thief does to your life, arresting him was cruel. And then he blames his dad for not being interested in him u...

The vast and rapid influx of new dramas seems to be calming down lately. And thank god for me because I think if I tried to add anymore at this point, my head would explode. My summer is winding down and I'm running out of time, so here's hoping I can start to catch up with everything I've left behind. Bride of the Water God 2017 Ok I still don't understand Hu Ye's purpose exactly. Is he actually the antagonist? Is he rivaling Habaek as emperor of the god realm? I'm guessing that will come more into focus in the next couple of episodes. I definitely wasn't expecting Bi Ryum's mischievousness to turn so dark. It gives me little bit more appreciation for his character, but he still doesn't really carry the gravity of a god. And Mura most certainly doesn't either. She may look like a goddess, but she's pretty whiny and obnoxious for someone 3,000 years old. I wonder if she'll always stay that way or if she'll have some actua...

Some dramas caught me by surprise this week, causing a sudden attack addiction. Some disappointed me as the week went on. And some fell through the cracks. Which dramas captured my heart this week? Let's find out. The Best Hit I'm starting to get really confused by the time jump. I started being confused when Hyun Jae and Young Jae were shown to have the same sheet music book, which is constantly changing for the other. Why is that possible? What are the rules here? But what really confuses me is that I always assumed Hyun Jae was assumed to disappear after he travelled to the future. But now apparently, he was actively interacting with people and being seen up to a year after he travelled. This would mean that the Hyun Jae that travelled to the future in 1993 is a different Hyun Jae that disappeared in 1994. So if he travelled in 1993, did another version of himself suddenly pop up in his place? And where did this other version of himself disappear to? Is there some...
