Recently I’ve decided on a few exciting things (okay it’s exciting for me at least HAHA) so here’s the first one! I’m going to be more active on twitter now – it used to be just a place that updates itself whenever I make a new post on Livejournal but now I really want to make it a place where I can interact with you guys on a closer and more intimate basis. It makes me so happy whenever I see someone retweeting my recaps(: Here’s my account: @thoughtsramble Come and follow me!! <3thoughtsramble

I'm really loving the theme song from Kill Me, Heal Me — Auditory Hallucination by Jang Jae In Feat. NaShow is what Youtube tells me. Go and have a listen to it! I'm liking this drama quite a bit – I don't love it ENOUGH such that I will suffer disastrous drama blues (as we recall from the aftermath of Healer) but I like it enough to be vested in the show. I was a bit bored with the emotional bits in the past few episodes, but I totally LOVE Ji Sung's acting. He brought so many characters to life, and I can say for sure that my favourite bits of the drama involve the parts where Ji Sung's 6 personalities all come out and confuse the rest. It's hilarious. Perry Park, you amuse me so. much. <3thoughtsramble

Hmm

I thought Kill Me Heal Me was gonna be bad, but I hung on because I've seen some really interesting GIFs and I'm too interested in Ji Sung to give up on the show. I'M GLAD I DIDN'T! Will talk more about this once I've finished marathoning the existing episodes:D <3thoughtsramble

Some rambling thoughts

Published by

Anyway, as you guys would have known, I've finished Healer just yesterday and am dying from drama blues. I was just thinking about my little nice cozy thoughtsramble where I meet great readers (shoutout to @usisblog for recommending Healer) and have long conversations with some of them. Sometimes, I stumble upon my old comments and I suddenly remember the constant presence of a certain reader at that certain period of time. If you guys are still reading, know that you will always have a special place in my heart, even though all I know is your username/letter of your name. I have no idea why, but I suddenly felt like writing a really long and heartfelt post, which I've not done in ages. For the past few days, I'm in this reminiscing mood and I cannot convey to you guys how much this website means to me. I'm always careful not to reveal too much of my personal information, which is why I don't have a self-introduction of my name and where I come from. …

The last post:(

I thought this scene was hilarious *chuckle to myself* Young Shin defended herself against one of the bad guys, which turned out to be Jung Hoo. He was all like hey watch where you hit. He proceeded to take down all the bad guys, while introducing himself to Young Shin's dad, "I'm Seo Jung Hoo" sorry for not telling you my name earlier etc. Dad and Uncle gaped at his fighting skills. Adorably, Jung Hoo will warn Young Shin everytime he's about to kick someone in the ass –  "Are you watching?" "I'm closing my eyes" "Okay" And bam, the bad guy goes down. Gape gape gape HAHA. Failing to summarise the story in an understandable manner, Young Shin stepped in to provide an elaboration, and all this guy can do is to nod and echo the last word of every sentence HAHAHA. Why are you so adorable?? When the whole thing is over, he hugged Young Shin and said out loud that it would only be for five seconds. Uncle stopped Dad from rushing …

Noooooooo.

I finished the drama. It. Was. Awesome??? Needless to say I love every single bit of it – the idea is a bit similar to City Hunter, but I love this even more because of the added rom-com (just the scene of Jung Ho introducing himself to Young Sin's father took like 10 screenshots). Just stab me now I don't know what to do with my life anymore. Okay kidding. But those of you who know how drama blues feel like, IM GOING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW (albeit belatedly, after everyone else has already finished the drama). I will be posting one last post on this tomorrow, after I've edited the screenshots. Drama blues are painful. I miss Seo Jung Ho's smiley eyes already. <3thoughtsramble

WHAT

Eternal Love in Healer's OST is sung by Michael Learns to Rock. I am MIND. BLOWN. I have no idea why but it's just so surprising hahaha. I'm not a devoted fan of theirs, which is why I didn't recognise their voices at all. But it's just cool to hear a famous English band's song in a Korean drama(: <3thoughtsramble

Addicted??

Published by

I was SO busy over the past week that there wasn’t even enough time to sleep…but you know you are truly addicted to a show when you itch to go back to the latest episode you’ve just watched even though you know you shouldn’t! (Hahaha yes I’m talking about Healer.) And I’m so happy to return to 2 episodes yesterday night and now I’m itching for more of it already. What a pity this drama is already over!! I would have loved to recap some episodes hahahah. <3thoughtsramble

Nooooo

Published by

This is not good – I sense myself getting addicted to Healer, and always wanting to load the next episode. It's awful, considering the fact that I have deadlines to meet just in a few days and I'm not anywhere near done. Healer, why do you do this to me! <3thoughtsramble

Update update!

Published by

A reader recently recommended Healer and I think I'm hooked after 4 episodes!:DDD I love Park Min Young ever since she acted in City Hunter. While I haven't watched the guy before, his good looks and the drama plot are enough to draw me in hehe. I wish that my internet connection stops screwing up – it took me a week to get through 4 episodes, which is really, really slow for me. Also, I read theories that the reveal on who A is will be coming in Season 6 Episode 12!! Is anyone excited?? I have been waiting for this for YEARS. HAHA. <3thoughtsramble

Hello everybody, It has been a long time since I've written here…about 2 weeks? I wanted to write a review for Pinocchio Episode 20, but I watched it really late at night and promptly fell asleep after that. I'm sure everyone knew it was a good show and loved the ending so there's nothing much to say heh. I just have to say though, that I liked it that the Evil mother didn't really repent at the end of it – that's reality for you. I've also not been up to date with any dramas other than Pretty Little Liars. I guess it's really easy for me to just keep going with this show because it's one episode a week, and there's not too much fuss about it. It's like a constant sustenance, or a cheer-up, in my daily life, but it won't give me drama blues after 2 months (since we still have 2 seasons to go!). On the other hand, I'm always so attached to the kdramas and twdramas I watch, and it's …

Pinocchio Episode 19 Review

Published by

I just watched this episode with subs and IT'S AMAZING. I don't have the time to do a recap unfortunately, but I think it's an episode that you guys shouldn't be reading recaps in substitution of the episode itself. A few things happened: Having a good relationship with Chairman for the past decade can be used as a tool. As investigation on the defamation suit opens, Manager Sung and Cap Kim accurately guess what the moves of the Chairman would be. YGN news, because of its swift reporting, manage to stop Chairman from pretending to be overseas when she's in Korea, from shifting the focus to a celebrity (Yu Rae has a funny OPPA I WILL CLEAR YOUR NAME moment), and from bribing Chan Soo. Chan Soo promises not to give into the settlement, but he does waver and would have if not for Nosy Jang's timely arrival. Yu Rae jokingly asks Cap Hwang to come along for Chan Soo's housewarming party and Capt agrees, much to everyone's bewilderment. Cap Hwang is getting more obsessed with Yu Rae. HAHA. …

Pinocchio Episode 15 Recap

Published by

I'm loving this episode (and hopefully can get the chance to recap the rest of the episodes till this drama ends). I checked the ratings of this drama a while ago and was puzzled to see the low ratings – this is one of the best dramas I've watched in 2014, with a solid plot and good acting. However, I'm beginning to see that it's starting to pick up its fanbase, and people around me are getting super into this drama too which is a GREAT thing.

Hello all! Have been flying quite a bit during December and eeks time flies, soon a year will come to an end! I've been very grateful that this site is still up and going for maybe the 5th or 6th year running. Even though I'm unable to post frequently as before, I'm still quite up to date with dramaland, and even managed to recap Fall In Love With Me! Wanted to take up Pinocchio but it was not meant to be heh (do watch this if you haven't, I recommend it!). As the new year comes, I hope that everyone will be safe and healthy. Above all, I hope you guys will be contented and happy with whatever you are doing and whatever drama you are watching heh! Thank you for having supported thoughtsramble thus far, and as always, <3thoughtsramble

Recently decided to give this drama a try and I think it's been a real solid piece so far! Personally not a fan of Park Shin Hye but I saw a couple of gifs that portrayed her in a very cute way in this drama so I thought why not! I like it that the female lead has the Pinocchio syndrome and cannot lie. This is SO refreshing from the usual dramas where the conflict arises precisely because leads weren't honest with each other/do noble sacrifices (never a fan of those)/miss their chance to confess. Obviously it would suck if the entire world was filled with Pinocchios, but just having a few here and there makes a huge difference to this drama. Lee Jong Suk is awesome as usual (biaised since forever), but I do wish he isn't so fair:P. Check it out! <3thoughtsramble

Pride and Prejudice Episode 8 Review

Published by

I'm loving the reveals in this episode. And who cannot fall in love with this pair? Even though I'm not a fan of tall guy – petite girl couple stereotype, I must admit that the height difference between these two prosecutors in particular amuses me very much. And I love Kang Soo's acting too. Even though the cliff hanger ending suggests that Kang Soo is actually Han Byul, which is really strange because it means that he almost fell in love with his own sister…but I think that's quite a cool twist nevertheless and I'm excited to see how it all plays out. I feel that the weakness of the show still lies in fleshing out its cases properly. Even though investigating Han Byul's case is the main thread, but as a show about prosecutors, I think it's still worth the time to develop each case. I know they have already spent great amount of time on each case (maybe 1 to 2 episodes), but I'm referring to the way they present it. Whenever they …

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 Review

Published by

-SPOILERS AHEAD!!- I caught this movie over the weekend and wow, I do miss the feeling of watching a blockbuster at the cinemas. I've read Hunger Games and Catching Fire, but purposely left Mockingjay untouched so that I would be more excited for the movie (but guess which impatient person has actually wiki-ed the plot years ago). Coming from the perspective of someone who hasn't read the book but know just enough to anticipate what the movie is going to be about, I think this movie was great. It was such a joy to watch good actors act. The big screen enlarges their emotions and you see their feelings being expressed through their eyes. Jennifer Lawrence still rocks at being Kaitness but other than that, I really enjoyed watching Julianne Moore's rendition of President Coin (I'm very, very ashamed to admit that I always thought President Coin was a male, based on a skim read over Wikipedia ages ago.) Things I've loved about the movie (not in chronological order): We're allowed time to experience each …

Pride and Prejudice Episode 6 Review

Published by

Did this episode give anyone else a headache? Because it gave me one. I like the premise of the show and where we are heading towards, but the way the show unravels each mystery is unsatisfying, especially this one. Are they saying that because Panda drank a drink with drugs inside, thats why Kang Soo wasn't the one who killed him? What's the link there? That Panda's head broke open because of drugs….? How did Song Ah Reum come into all of this…. I'm definitely confused and I felt like I wasted a good half an hour. But I really liked how they developed Kang Soo's relationship with Ahjusshi – the way Ahjusshi ran after the car when he came back from the drugstore and saw Kang Soo being arrested, the way he hugged Kang Soo when Kang Soo turned up on his doorstep (Y) Hopefully the next episode will be better! <3thoughtsramble

Pride and Prejudice/Liar Game/Birth of a Beauty

Published by

I'm on a roll! Managed to find 3 new good Kdramas (but judged based on a very minimal number of episodes). Loving Pride and Prejudice so far – I'm a fan of Choi Jin Hyuk so it's no wonder that I will find this drama equally pleasing. I haven't seen the female lead before but a fresh face is always nice and she reminds me of Yoon Eun Hye. The plot line is engaging enough, but it can be confusing at some points. Do prosecutors really do all this work, that seem to replace that of a policeman?:O Also as per Episode 4, what is the significance of those bank statements? Sometimes, they drop important pieces of information here and there, and wait for a long time to patch up the information. However, overall, I think it's a drama worth checking out. Watched half an hour of Liar Game Episode 1 and all I could think of is that girl (Kim So Eun) is so gorgeous! She certainly has the same vibe as Toda Erika …

My Secret Hotel (2)

Published by

Finally finished the drama! I'm not sure if any of you is watching this but I think it's a hit or miss kind of drama. I still can't decide if it's a good one for me, because some parts were so bad. The mystery and the horror were quite well done, and even the unveiling of the truth was pretty good – for someone who has very high expections of reveals, I think they did okay. I loved the romance between Hae Young and Sung Hyo but the development of the relationship was quite poorly done. We have a great start (I quite like the filters and the way they shoot the scenes in Las Vegas), and we have an awesome awesome end – but the middle was draggy and stagnant. I only held on for so long because I wanted to see them get together, and because I wanted to know who the murderer was. On the other hand, the drama is very good at tying loose ends up and for that, I think …

My Secret Hotel

Published by

I chanced upon this drama and was hooked straight away — romance, comedy mixed in with a bit of mystery and horror? You got me. I spammed 12 episodes in a few days, but I must say the drama could have done so much more. It was fortunate that I didn't have to wait for the episode every week, because now I can simply forward the parts that were draggy and unncessary. Was it really important to have so many sad scenes from Hae Young? And I think Sang Hyo could have been a much stronger female lead – a girl with her own ideas and her own feelings. Right now, I'm shipping her with Hae Young (surprise surprise) because I really don't like the way Managing Director Jo is treating her. Dude, you don't keep forcing your kisses on people, and insist that you are dating when she hasn't even said yes. I'm obviously super biased though and I can only say that I hope the ending will end up like how I wish …

The weeks just fly past! And I'm not really sure which holes they have flown into but it has been a good month. Still not onto any korean/japanese (haven't watched one in a long time!!)/taiwan dramas because it's just too troublesome to find out what's good or to even find out which dramas are airing right now. Getting a longgg break in a few weeks time so I'm really looking forward to that! In the meantime, I'm still watching lots of movies like Hitch and When Harry met Sally. Not really a favourite of Hitch, but am sold on the latter heh. <3thoughtsramble

Updates?:D

HELLO! I'm actually not that busy, but I haven't been posting anything because I wasn't watching anything on-going and recent. I was going down this memory lane/catch-up lane, watching Boys Over Flowers and a ton of movies which I never caught in the cinemas.

Hahaha even though I haven't been watching any on-going dramas because of my busy schedule, I have taken time out to watch some old movies and dramas when I'm chilling or eating! So I think the next few posts will be more of updates on what I've been doing rather than recaps/reviews. Boys Over Flowers That's right – guess who has decided to pull out her old stash of DVDs and to binge on this drama HAHAHA. I am loving it all over again, despite it having been…6 years? OMG it has been 6 years. Guys we are old. I love it when they have the four of them together<33 And of course, I love Yi Jung/ Kim Bum. Look forward to these screenshots HAHA. I'm only on Episode 5! <3thoughtsramble

Aaron's song with G.Na is playing on my Itunes right now and it's giving me a wave of nostalga! I'm actually so tempted to re-watch the first 6 episodes of the drama hahahah where it was simply cute watching Xiao Lu (but I guess the later part of the drama is really sweet if you wanna watch Lu Tian Xing…whom I kinda miss too!) <3thoughtsramble
