Upcoming: Legend of the Blue Sea

Published by

I was just thinking about all the current male actors dominating the scene and wondering where the Lee Min Ho went, when I found out that he has not disappeared after all (he did after all, act in Bounty Hunters) and will be coming back with a new drama on November 16 2016. The show is basically about a mermaid (Jun Ji Hyun) from the Joseon era who met a con artist (Lee Min Ho) and their love story. Okay I probably simplified it a lot but we only have a few weeks before we find out the whole premise of the show. I’m excited because these two leads are huge, so hopefully the show is going to be a blockbuster too. I mean, look at what happened with Descendants of the Sun! But Descendants was a smart show with smart writing and honestly, I don’t know how many Descendants we can pull off in just a year of 2016. Yes, that show blazed through the world only a few months ago and thereafter, we …

Finale Review: Oh My Ghost

This is just a really short post that I’ve been wanting to write for AGES. Yeah this show has long finished. I tend to have very serious drama blues if I’m too attached to a show, and I’m not kidding when I say that sometimes this affects my mood in real life. As such, over the years, I have developed this defence mechanism whereby if I foresee myself getting too attached to a show, I stop myself from watching the last episode until my own hype for it has died down. Does that make sense to you? This method works wonders for me(:

I Remember You Episode 16 Recap (Finale)

Published by

I don’t know if I was very tired when I watched this, but the ending was a little draggy for me. I can’t pinpoint which part of the episode could have been faster, because I admit that everything mentioned was important and relevant…but it just didn’t end with that tension which I’ve expected from an open ending, or that over the top crazy fangirl-feels expected from the romance. That being said, I still like the finale very much. I love the idea of an open ending! Even if they don’t make Season 2 (I won’t even harbour hopes for that because Kdramas rarely make second seasons with the exact same cast), the storyline is apt for that sort of storytelling – every end brings with it a new set of questions, and new beginnings.

I Remember You Episode 12 Recap

I LOVE this episode! What’s there not to like – that wonderful kiss-on-the-forehead scene (I just mentioned two days ago on another recap that I love forehead kisses. Who’s with me!), the reunion, Hyun’s persistence to break down Min’s walls and that cliffhanger at the end. I’ve not really teared from any recent dramas (I have a bad memory so I don’t know if you should trust me on that…) but this reunion was so bittersweet, I couldn’t help myself.

Warm and Cozy Episode 13 Recap

It seems like the main theme for this show, whether intentionally or not so, is ‘misunderstanding’/’the could-have-been-saids’. If it wasn’t for the fact that I really like the visuals, the cast, the acting, and some attachment to the characters, I would have dropped this show. Thankfully, I spam-watched the existing episodes (12 of them) in 1.5 days so I wasn’t too bogged down by all the verbal hurdles that the characters had to face. A conflict which could be solved simply by having a conversation is one of the worst conflicts to drag out, in my opinion.
