Dramaland

Winter is coming to an end, finally. I always love the arrival of winter; the first snowfall, holidays, and celebration. But it quickly tires and I yearn for the freedom and mobility that comes with warmer weather. I want this winter, in particular, to end soon. Meanwhile, I've reached as far back as dramas from last May and I'm well on my way to being all caught up. While You Were Sleeping Now that I've finished this, I think I can say that it failed my expectations. I really liked it in the beginning. I thought the drama introduced its characters in an interesting way. And I do think the character and relationship development was the show's strongest point. Each of the 3 main leads (Hong Joo, Jae Chan, and Woo Tak) were complete strangers in the beginning, but by the end they were deeply intertwined in each others' lives. A good deal of that, however, was due to the fact that they dream with each other, which I don't think was explained very well....

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...

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...
