How are you guys! My life has picked up on its rapid pace once again – a really apt timing because I managed to finish with Fall In Love With Me episode recaps before I lost all my time again. Right now, I'm at a loss for dramas because Pretty Little Liars has just finished its Summer Finale last week and is on its break, and Once Upon A Time is starting end September.
In the meantime, I would love to entertain myself with a drama, so do recommend me any!

Omg guys this episode is taking so long to churn out…just look at the number of screenshots I've takenXD As an episode itself, I'm very happy with it and it made me smile a lot! But as an ending to the drama, there are still some ends left untied and some dissatisfaction.
I wouldn't say that I'm disappointed with this episode, because I do enjoy the acting and some parts of the plot, but it's getting so draggy and I aint always gonna be so patient.
I'm not sure what you guys think (do share with me!) but I like this episode much more than the previous one. Even though there were some moments where I felt that the characters were being real stupid, I like that at least there was some action and movement in plot. I can't help but recall all the previous build-ups and lies, and wonder what the purpose in foreshadowing was, since they ultimately don't serve as big a function as we were led to think.
THIS EPISODE makes me so…angry at some points. I liked the build-up and the script but now that the scriptwriters are trying to go down a different plot line than what was foreshadowed, I'm just a little frustrated with the story and wish that they would get on with it. Worse still, it seems like they're trying to make Evil Mother realise her mistake and turn good, which is the most unsatisfactory ending you can give to an evil character. They are also taking away our satisfaction of Tian Xing realising that he has been LIED to and manipulated this whole time.
This episode…I hated some parts and I liked some parts. I think it's starting to be draggy, even though they are inserting different plot elements each time – like this episode is our couple's supposed last night together, and Huan Huan steps up on her game, but really in the overall grand scheme of things, I don't think we have moved very much and that irritates me a little. Of course, I was happy to see the return of cute OZ moments and some good kissing between our leads.
I was quite okay with this episode, but as I was doing the recap, I felt an increasing sense of frustration. This episode is meant for build-up. There's not much plot movement but it plants seeds that are useful for future plot development. I get it, but I just feel that they are pushing Tian Xing into an unbreathable corner, and I'm impatiently waiting for some sort of release.
Does anyone watch this series!! I love it, even though I find Season 1 to be the coolest so far — with all the parallel back-stories and fairytale characters. I am on Season 3's Episode 12 and I think Rumpelstiltskin is one of my favourite characters which is really a surprise if you know me. (Since I'm all suckers for second leads and nice people) Okay, but upon second thought, I realise it's rather predictable since Rumpelstiltskin is kind of a good character with a really sad past and understandable motives. I felt so bad for him when Neal kept rejecting him. Hook is another of my favourite characters (I see a trend with me and villains oops) but I think currently Rumpelstiltskin takes the lead.
(And you would probably realise that I've not talked about Pretty Little Liars in ages. That's because I was quite bored with Season 5's Episode 1 and was wondering if having stuck through with this series all this while was getting me anywhere. BUT I shall persevere…soon.)

A few readers have asked me if I knew how many episodes this drama has so I did a quick search. However, I couldn't find anything definitive and different sources say different things:
Does anyone have any idea what the real number is? Personally, at the pace they are going and the things they have to solve, I think 17 episodes will make more sense than a drawn out one like 30 episodes.
Also, once again I will be Internet-less for about a week. This time round, I'm quite sure I would want to do a recap on Episode 15, but it will come really late, estimated to be around 16th/17th July. So I hope you guys will still check back and support the recaps!(: Love you all<3
<3thoughtsramble
I think some people may hate this episode, but I personally like it — not in the way I love Xiao Lu X Tao Zi cute moments, but that I actually felt sad for the couple instead of feeling tired with the moodiness.
Warning, this recap has loads of screenshots focusing on Tian Xing hehe. You will find out why later(:
Have you all watched the preview for Fall In Love With Me Episode 14??
My heart aches for Tian Xing already when the devillish mum announces “It’s not like there’s no remedy – you just have to marry Huan Huan.”
What even!!
<3thoughtsramble
I felt so bad for Tian Xing from the start of this episode to the end. Will you guys just stop bullying him already??
Hiii I would once again be Internet-less for a few days and that is going to affect Fall In Love With Me Episode 13 Recap. However, this time round I’m pretty sure I will still be doing the episode recap regardless of the plot (oops hope I don’t regret this!) so do wait for my recap! It will just be a day later than usual.
Take care, everybody~
<3thoughtsramble
I like this episode in that there's more comic relief and a sense of our olden, ancient days where characters were happily fooling around. However, in reality, the pace of the drama has slowed down and there's nothing much that happened in this episode. I understand that it's necessary to deal with the fall outs from the previous episode's conflicts so I shall eagerly await for the day when we can see cute moments from our main couple once more!:D
This episode was so good:D
Finally a bit of change in the angst in this episode!!
I will not be able to access the internet for about a week, starting this Sunday, which means that I won't be able to do Fall In Love With Me Episode 9 Recap! I might still write it when I come back to drama-land but that will mean that the recap will be a week late. Alternatively, I might just skip recapping Episode 9 and go on to do Episode 10 when I'm back. I shall see how it goes!
On another note, I have been marathoning Once Upon A Time (just started on season 2!). Rather delighted with Julian Morris's cameo appearance.
Even though he's better known to me as Doctor Wren hehe.
My eyecandies are suffering from short-lived fates.
First the Huntsman died because he tried to escape from Regina. He was kissing Emma yes, but that doesn't make his death any less tragic. T.T
And then Prince Philip (or Doctor Wren, or Julian Morris) died within a episode because he was marked. T.T T.T
My dear Prince Charming, please be a long-lived character because I think you are pretty cool.

Didn't really like this episode but it's needed in the plot development so here goes.
My current favourite on-going drama. Enough said.
someone has abs now:D
This drama is really growing on me. I was initially rather disappointed that we can't see Puff and Aaron again, but to be honest, the pairing of Tia and Aaron is growing on me too! While I don't think they have that great chemistry off-screen, on-screen wise I think Tia has done a good job of being Tao Zi and now I can't really vision Puff bringing a better Tao Zi (we might actually be seeing Liang Liang).
I think the script for Fall In Love With Me might be a bit stronger than Just You, in that the script is really funny when it's supposed to be funny. I love scenes between Tian Xi and Fu Bo, hahahah they are like father and son!
Quite eager to see what else the drama has in store for us:D
<3thoughtsramble
This was quite funny/sweet of Xiao Lu/Lu Tian Xing hahaha. I like it that they had Xiao Lu call Tao Zi as the Lu Tian Xing persona so that we can see that these two personas can exist as one, and that Aaron isn't being bipolar in the show.
<3thoughtsramble
Oh no I've disappeared again hahaha, it seems like complete free time doesn't exist since two years ago.
Anyway, I've been catching up on a few things recently
And thaat's about it.
Any more dramas to recommend?:D
<3thoughtsramble
Hooray for a misleading preview HAHA, and it's a happy ending for all as I've wanted!! *throw confetti* I love it that the main couple isn't rushing into marriage this time and that they are just taking it slow, learning from the mistakes they have made in the past. It's nice that Chief finally learns how to open his heart and to accept his past. The mothers have put down their grudges, and Yong Gyu and Ha Reum have a happy ending.
What I like about this show is the exploration of the theme second chances and also relationships. Using couples of different forms (I mean different types of relationships), we see how each couple deals with the past and present circumstances. It's kind of a feel-good and sad show for me at the same time, because while I love how Oh Chang Min and Oh Jin Hee finally found their happy ending, it feels kind of wistful that these kind of second chances may never come by in reality. Their relationship worked because they exist in a drama, but I do hope for sure for us real beings out there, that if we really do fall, we have the chance to learn and improve, and to save what has been lost.
I also like how the both of them have found true meaning in the Emergency Department, kuddos to you Chief(: With this power couple in ER, I think the department will do really well!
It's the end of yet another drama journey. I started off on this show because of Choi Jin Hyuk. He put on such a great performance in Gu Family Book that I loved the first two episodes so much and was so happy to see him again, albeit in a evil monster form. Evil but still handsome. I recalled myself thinking — if this guy looks really great with long hair, I wonder how he will be like with short hair! Will he look even better! (I feared it might turn out like Ji Jin Hee, whose saguek form I much preferred.) He didn't disappoint in The Heirs, even though I didn't see much of him:( and now, this show with him as a lead muahah. It's perfect. Even though I only started watching when Episode 11 was airing, I think I had a lot of fun marathoning!
Thus it has been a short but good journey with this show. And I hope I will get to see the two of them in drama projects again:D
<3thoughtsramble
Oh no I don't have a good feeling about the last episode sighhh. Is Jin Hee gonna be sent to somewhere far away:(( and why must they make Chief see the kiss between Jin Hee and Chang Min tsk…I rather his rejection takes place along the lines of him confessing and being rejected, but no, they must make him into this sad figure who FINALLY decides to have some action, only to be stopped by some cruel 'fate' of running into the couple.
On another note, I am going to miss the main couple SO much. They have so much cuteness going on, and it makes me feel good. It makes me feel as if second chances really exist in reality hahaha and that if you were meant to be, the obstacles that got thrown in your path would make sense one day. I love the scenes when Chang Min was being all prim and proper about which side he is drinking the water from (to avoid contact of saliva/indirect kissing, which is hilarious because they slept together the night before) and how he cried in the cinema while Jin Hee just slept through it. They are really coming together as one unit now, not as two bickering people who had an unfortunate past, but as two who survived the past.
Sadly, I don't know if we are going to have a for-sure happy ending (happy for me means that Chang Min and Jin Hee get together and continue their cuteness, Chief is not sad anymore and preferably gets together with Ji Hye, everyone else is happy) but I guess we will know very soon!
<3thoughtsramble
I really like this episode a lot, so my fingers felt rather itchy…and then..I couldn't resist, so here's the recap!!
Even though I am a Chang Min — Jin Hee shipper, I felt sad for Chief here when he was helping Jin Hee find Chang Min. I could see the sadness in his eyes:(((
And much as I am a shipper of the main couple, I don't like how Jin Hee suddenly discovers that she has feelings/respect for Chang Min. It seems too simple and unreal, and not how I would want them to come back together as a couple.
<3thoughtsramble
It's quite a pity because Emergency Couple's episodes always get released on days when I'm the busiest, hence I don't think I would be able to recap them. However, I do like how it's turning out so far hehehe. Pleaseee just give Chang Min and Jin Hee a happy ending! I admit I might be biased towards Chang Min from the start. He certainly wasn't the nicest character around and I don't like him in his immature ways. Yet, he has really become more mature in the past few episodes, and I'm sure the death of his father is going to change him and his mother in ways that are permanent and for the better.
I do like the pairing of Jin Hee and Chang Min. Jin Hee and Chief make a really cute duo, but I feel like they are perhaps just a brief respite to each another rather than the significance of a new life. They make each other's hearts skip a beat, but that initial attraction and admiration…could it really be the start of true love?
In any case, I think this drama makes a good point of treasuring what you have, right now, at this moment. Do not wait till you have lost the person that you love most, before realising what you could have done better or how he/she was so important to you.
<3thoughtsramble
"Work is tough, so like these two, like husband and wife…" -Chang Min desperately hugs Father in a hope that he would shut up- HAHA I LOVE THIS SCENE SOMEHOW.
<3thoughtsramble
Really thought this scene was very moving:') Cried so much hahahah way to go Oh Chang Min.
<3thoughtsramble
in the end, my love for this drama started to ebb away, so here's some final thoughts from me without any screenshots.
I think it's a lovely drama (note: especially if you support the main couple). They do awesome covers and I like how there's a backstory to almost all the characters, so it was very satisfying to finally learn of them. However, I read both Dramabeans and Couch Kimchi's recaps for the last episode, as I decided I didn't want to waste anymore time watching or loading the shows…and the thing is, both of them dislike Seon Woo!
I think I must have been quite blinded/biased/Seon Woo turned horrible in the last episode then, because I still find Seol Chan very annoying and that there's hardly any cute parts about him. True, he was super sweet when he told Ahjusshi that he grew up listening to J. Ahn's composing, but he isn't always that sweet. And he has that inferiority complex thingy going on or is it some jealous thingy that just makes him shout and flare at Se Yi all the time.
I guess it's also a personal 'principle' issue where I judge characters by how I would react to them in reality. Seon Woo's fault lies in that he ( may be) mean to Nana, even though Nana makes it so clear about her crush and he still turns a blind eye to her. But that's hardly a fault that only he commits, especially when we see Se Yi doing the same thing. It always irks me when the girl realises the main lead likes her wayyy faster than the realisation that the second lead likes her and has been protecting her ass until the main lead suddenly decides to join the picture (sorry, that was like my You Are Beautiful angst coming all out again). On the other hand, I won't take a guy who shouts at me and gets jealous all the time, or doesn't say what he thinks and tries to poke the other person into saying what he wants, or I don't know…till the very end, still calling Seon Woo out for showdown talks. It's not cute.
And eventually, it made me feel that their triangle of love is rather childish and I don't even know what all the confusion/angst/tears are for.
But okay, Se Yi's very, very pretty. HAHA.
