The Moon That Embraces The Sun Episode 3

Published by

I love this episode to bits! Knowing what will come next, all the plotting, tears and all (My heart sucks at those, this is why I almost never watch period dramas because I just couldn't take all the plotting. Too many regrets for me lol), it makes watching the childhood part more meaningful! It's a very bittersweet kind of feeling.  I really smiled when I watched this: This kind of family…such warmth and unity in the way the parents treat their son and daughter, and vice versa. I reallyyy hope nothing happens to this family. If the scriptwriters decide to pull a Dae Jang Guem plot on me where basically all the nice people die here and there (I will never forget Lady Han lol), I WILL PULL SOMEONE'S HAIR. (Okay you know I'm kidding:D) Right. The thing is, I almost always ship second leads because I love (it's just my character, I can't help it)/ pity them when they did everything they could do to help the girl, without asking for anything. Actually, it …

The Moon That Embraces The Sun

Published by

I'm writing this as the fourth episode loads on my computer. Anddd I must say I'm really hooked! This feeling is just greattt, because I've not gotten hooked on a KDrama for ages, probably since City Hunter.  I must say, I didn't feel that interested at first, because the casting didn't have anyone I like, and of course, I wouldn't know or be able to predict where the story goes, but after three episodes in, here are my thoughts: (Listed, as usual. I'm sorry heh, thoughtsramble has something for lists.) 1. Usually I can't really stand watching the childhood bits of dramas. They draw out and drag the pace of the drama most of the time, and you don't know what's the point of them. But! (with an exclamation point) this is different. The actors for the young characters are really good, because they act so naturally, and bring out their characters so well, I would be entirely satisfied just watching them for the whole show! In fact, I shall admit that I'm having a …

Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata ~Ending Planner~ Episode 1

Published by

Omgggg. I really want to kill technology right now. I typed out an entire recap, only to have Livejournal screwed up on me. So. I really can't type this all over again, because it was a realllyy long recap, so here's just caps that I've taken.  Pardon me, I rarely swear, but screw you Livejournal. (It was partly my fault, but is it only me who hates the autosaved draft function? It posed so many problems a year back. That time, I had the stamina to re-type the entire recap twice, and even thrice, but now…) I'm so sorry. But, I promise to write a recap for episode 2! I usually don't start from the first episode anyway.  What do I think about this? I think that I will come to like this drama. It has themes like acceptance, separation, life and death and as long as the scriptwriters don't mess it up, I think it can be a really great drama! Even though I highly doubt any Yamapi's work will top my love for …

I FOUND A DRAMA!! Yes that really calls for some celebration… I'm currently quite hooked on Tong Flowers Love! I'm not sure if it was famous or what, but I like the casting and the plot sounds okay-ish to start with, so there's no harm starting.  I would love to do recaps actually…but we shall see, since I'm planning to do recaps on 2 series already.  <3thoughtsramble

Hey there~ It seems like I've been really busy frolicking around in Dramaland, but at the end of the day, there isn't anything that is worth posting entire entries to, so I shall just list: Got myself swimming in mangaland for the first time: Got introduced to really good mangas which I love and will recommend to anyone out there, looking for a good shoujo, yet interesting manga –> The One, Ao Haru Ride and Fifty Rules For Teenagers.  Not very interested in any Asian Dramas as of the moment. After I finished Nazotoki, I've not started any Jdramas yet. I was in a Kdrama slump for a very long time, and Colour Of Woman didn't work out for me, so I'm going to take my time to rediscover my love for kdramas. It seems like after City Hunter, I've yet to fall in love with any Kdramas hmm.  That being said, I'm going to take a shot at The Moon That Embraces The Sun and Wild Romance….not getting my hopes high though.  Wow, I'm …

Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Episode 14 Recap

Published by

Before I start rambling, I realise that this is highly irregular for thoughtsramble to even consider recapping an American series. But there you have it, I'm all ready to start rambling (in fact I'm reallyyy impatient to do so). I understand that most recaps are out there already, since this episode was released quite some time ago, and fans should be ready to watch it the moment it's uploaded, but whatever, I figured that I need a place to rant and fangirl, so yup!  And omg I loveeee this episode. If you have watched it already, comment! If not, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR:D

Gah, I'm running out of things to watch! I'm patiently waiting for Pretty Little Liars to be released on 2nd Jan, kinda dropped Future Diary and Phi Brain (not in the mood right now) and watching Colour of A Woman! But it isn't terribly interesting; I'm only hanging on for Jae Hee, and to watch Byun So Ra (hopefully) transforms because I know that the actress is quite pretty! I'm thinking of Padam Padam because I loveeed Kim Bum from Boys Over Flowers, but he's the second lead   Suggestions anyone?? I think I'm in a particularly picky mood right now. <3thoughtsramble

Looking back on 2011

Published by

I felt that it was apt to have come up with such a list, especially since we're nearing the end of 2011. I thought of how I could present it best – Should I separate each drama/movie into different categories by order of the nature of the show, or what…and in the end, I've decided to simply place them under 2 categories: Hit or Miss.  Here are all the dramas/movies that I've watched! Possibly a very short list compared to most drama bloggers out there, but I think I did okay, seeing as how much work I've juggled. 

Right before the last episode/Halloween’s special…

Oh yes, I've finished yet another 10 episodes in one day, and whoooo I can't wait to get started on the last episode!! I feel so glad that I started on this late; I can't think how you guys manage to wait since October for the next half of Season 2 to be released! I'm not too sure on this, but I read that it's going to be coming out in early Jan? Yayy.  I'm putting this under the cut because I took too many screen caps for this to be a short post, and also I didn't want to spoil any episodes for anybody. SO please don't click on this unless you are completely sure you want to spoil the suspense for yourself. But for you guys who have already watched this, PLEASE JOIN ME! I'm a little too late on the uptake of fangirling over this yes, but better late than never right? 😀

Pretty Little Liars~~

Published by

Hey you guys must be prepared that you will see major spam-mage of posts on this, because it's the only series that I'm currently watching crazily (i.e loading episode after episode, after episode). Here's a couple of things that I felt (note: major spoilers if you haven't watched Season 1!) : 1. OMG I'm majorily creeped out by Season 2. My friend wasn't kidding when she said that it was better, and arghh all the mysterious/dangerous things A is doing to the four girls is really getting to me. Maybe I should stop watching this late into the night, where I start to hallucinate that someone is watching me from the windows.  2. Accidentally read a couple of spoilers on Wiki, heh 😛 From which I found out that whoo hoo Wren is coming back!! (Yes I finally found out the spelling of his name ._.) and that Spencer shared a kiss with him. Can't really decide who I'm siding here, because I like Toby and Wren both!! Okay and this is really premature thinking, …

Pretty Little Liars/ Tyler Blackburn

Indeed, gosh has it only been one day that I've watched 10 episodes? It has been a long time since I did that, and it feels greaaaat. Yep, that means I've finished Pretty Little Liars Season 1:D And I got Season 2 Episode 1 all loaded and ready to go on my computer.  Which also means that I'm not entirely sure what is considered spoiler-free and spoiler-ful anymore. So I will leave it up to your discretion kay. I love writing about how I feel, but I wouldn't want to spoil the episodes for any of you guys((:  SO!! Gotta be my favourite couple so far: Caleb Rivers and Hanna!!<333 Actually to be honest, even though my friend has been telling me how great Pretty Little Liars was for ages, I didn't really want to get down to it, thinking that it's just going to be that usual American drama where there's lots of grope and romp which I hate. Then I got bored and the usual thing, but I still wasn't that ready to …

Samurai High School

Published by

A really long ago drama, filmed in 2009 with Haruma Miura and Shirota Yu. Didn't really want to watch it last time, when I was checking out the dramas that Shirota Yu had appeared in before. The story starts with me liking Haruma Miura now and am desperate to watch something of him. I mean, can you blame me? So I finished up with the drama he acted in with Toda Erika, and decided to move on, till his cameo appearance in a tv special of Hi wa Mata Noboru. Wahhh. I can't resist it. I would have checked out Hi wa Mata Noboru immediately, except I'm not really sure if him not being the main lead would make the show less interesting. So I decided to go back to Samurai High School. Shirota Yu! Being all geeky and speaking like a kid.  But this, this — LOL. I simply can't help but burst out laughing. Omygawd, I didn't know Haruma Miura was such a versatile actor!  Anyway, I finished with Samurai High School a …

Pretty Little Liars

Published by

This was a drama that was recommended by a friend, and to date (i.e Season 1 Episode 12) I still pretty much love it!  If anything, I fell in love with the main theme song, Secrets by The Pierces. It's utterly hooking and creepy.  4 girls who became friends again when they started receiving messages from this mysterious person named A.  This A seems to know all their secrets, secrets that only Allison, their friend who had mysteriously disappeared for a year and later to be found dead, would know.  I love this look that Aria gives. So our four main leads are: Spencer — initially threatened by A because she seemed to have something for her sister's boyfriends (mainly Ian and Rann -spelling  I'm unsure of-) As of now, she seemed to be perfectly happy with Alex so A's trying to break the two of them up.  Sigh. I really like Rann. I wish she stuck with him, instead of moving on to Alex zzz.  Emily — threatened by A because she's a gay. …

After quite a long break, I need a few days to get on track with all the dramas that I've been missing out, and I promise I will get down to replying the comments in a few hours!(((: It's nice to come home to comments hehe.  I will probably do a few more posts in the next few days because right now I feel like it:P  What a short post. Lol.  <3thoughtsramble

More updates!(:

Published by

Hey guys!(: I'm so glad that I managed to finish In Time With You recaps before I go on a holiday, and yes I'm going on a holiday!(: Shush on where I'm going, but I'm pretty excited about it. This means that I will be absent for a very, very short period of time, probably just a week…but I wouldn't want you guys to think this is a temporary break or something! I've been catching up with an American drama, Pretty Little Liars, and so far I loveee it. Putting aside the cute and good looking guys, I thought the creepy elements were well done! I just hope that they would be able to come up with a satisfactory explanation as to who on earth A was. Favourite guys right now are Toby and the ex-fiancé of Melissa (not really a huge fan with Mr Fitz…besides I don't get it why it must be either a break up or a risk-all dating kinda thing. Why can't they just hold it off until she graduated from high …

Future Diary…among other updates

Published by

So yep, after my post about taking it easy on livejournal, I'm indeed taking a break. But that doesn't mean my anime-watching and drama-watching have come to hiatus as well! Of course not.  I've been watching Future Diary, which is an anime about how twelve people are chosen to be in this game where they have to kill one another until only one survives and goes on to become the God of Time. The story follows Yuno, a boy who always writes in his diary (phone) and is appalled to find out that what he thought he had imagined, Deus, is actually the real God of Time. His phone soon has the ability of predicting the future, but he finds out that the other eleven people have different forms of diaries as well!  Not the best synopsis that I can give you here, but I can tell you three words about it: Psychotic, Creepy, Good Oh well, it wasn't thaaaaat brilliant (sorry, forever biased towards Kindaichi:D) but it sure is damn creepy. Especially with Yuki, …

If only

Published by

I have been thinking hard about this, and I realise that it has been inevitable all along.  Yep that same old line about: Not Enough Time.  It has come to a stage that if I want to do recaps, it's going to take a toll on things that I want to do in my personal life. If I want to do recaps, I can't watch as many things as I want to, read as many books as I want to, and learn as many things as I want to. A reader once told me that this is my livejournal, I should be the one to decide when I want to ramble along about some drama, but as time goes by, I can't help but feel obliged, or this sense of responsibility, to update…I mean, I want to do a good job after all.  But I will come out straight here about something that some of my readers already know, and that's the fact that I'm still a student. That means that I have workloads and …

Update!

Published by

Have been away for many days… let's just say that I'm taking a mini-break and I might still continue to do so for the next few days! No worries though, I will still try to churn out In Time With You recaps as fast as possible, so that you guys can get updated, but as of the moment, you can tell that Nazotoki Wa Dinner No Ato De's recaps are not being done as fast.  I have a reason though!:P Other than going out everyday, I'm also trying hard to keep up with my reading-list and to-watch list, thus virtually having no time to update here. I finished Samurai High School, and am on Kuroshitsuji Season 2!(: I tried reading some manga  on the computer (failed to do so for the past years because I was just too impatient with how I have to click and wait for each page to load) as well haha!  So yep, all in all, I need more time and more sleep, but what's new!:P Gonna start working on recaps soon …
