Dramaland

My workload has been particularly intense lately. I find nooks and crannies in my schedule to watch dramas, but I don't always have time to write about them. Lately, I started 2 new dramas that I'm excited about and finished about 4, including some that ended a long time ago. Go me! Hwayugi We now know how Sun Mi could potentially kill Oh Gong. I was skeptical and curious about how her emotions for him could turn murderous. But in actuality, she has such a strong pull over him, she has the power to unintentionally physically hurt him. I do think the geumganggo will come off soon. Oh Gong won't eat her. He sincerely loves her now. And I don't really understand why he loves her because I find her character to have grown quite uninteresting and sobering as the series as gone on. But he does love her. She does have feelings for him. And the geumganggo is putting his life in danger. Adding to the danger Sun Mi could possibly induce, there are several supernatura...

Maybe it's because episodes are, on average, longer than necessary, but it feels like episodes are taking much longer to be subbed. I have nothing but respect for subbers, I just also have no patience. There are many dramas I'm hooked on these days, which I couldn't say often last year.  Nothing to Lose Finished! I can't pretend that I'm not disappointed in how this drama panned out. I was so excited by Park Eun Bin and Eun Woo Jin's casting. I think the key point where the drama fell flat for me was Park Eun Bin's character Lee Jung Joo. I was imagining a fiery judge with a vengeance. Jung Joo was crazy in many ways in the beginning, but she was also very clumsy. She was called the "knuckle headed" judge. And as the show progressed, she grew sober, which made her character meek. On top of my dislike of her character, the romance was also highly disappointing. There were all these subtle, little interactions between Jung Joo and Eui Hy...

It's a new year and I think everyone is hoping this one will be better than the last. Even last year's dramas were lacking. If anything, I think this will be a year of reflection and acceptance, which may not necessarily bring wonders at this moment, but will make everything that much more meaningful for years to come. I'm Not a Robot I find it hilarious that Min Gyu thought Aji 3 had "deep learned" to fall in love with him. When you think about it, Ji Ah did "deep learn" affection for Min Gyu. In a way, all of our emotions and thoughts are processed by our bodies, which makes Ji Ah no different from Aji 3. It's a really strange concept. I also thought it was hilarious when Ji Ah defending Min Gyu in  her polka dotted disguise. She did all of that, but her brother and ex knew it was her anyways. And then it was heartbreaking when he wished she could be human. I can only imagine how heartbreaking the next handful of episodes will be when he...

I'm on break now, which would make you think that I should have a lot of time to relax now. That's a joke because I've been spending that past week making gifts for people and catching up on work I couldn't get done throughout the semester. I'm getting a lot done! I was also strangely affected by Shinee's Johghyun's death for a couple days. I'm not a big fan of kpop, let alone Shinee, but there was something really shocking about the whole situation. I couldn't stop crying for a while, but I really want to focus on brighter things now. Temperature of Love I made it to episode 26! I was secretly really happy when Hyun Soo's mom gave Jung Sun's mom side eye. First of all, she was basically wearing a disco ball in sweater form. Second of all, she's really obnoxious. She's always lying, hiding her true emotions (which she also lies about), and pretending that her life is perfect when it so obviously isn't. There seems to be...
