I believe I may be hooked! Read wiki, which happily summarised the first two episodes for me, so I only watched half of episode 1 but the full episode 2….and I love it:O The acting was awesome, the characters had great chemistry and it moved me to tears. Their sad love:( While it's incredibly sad (and annoying) that Seo Hwa betrayed Wol Ryung, it is quite congruous with her character that she would do so… so I guess no complaints there. Well, it would have been nice if we could see more of Wol Ryung^^ Can't wait for Episode 3 and 4!! <3thoughtsramble

It's so easy to slip off from writing in thoughtsramble after not having done so for months (apologiess). I'm enjoying the rare breather before launching into another crazy madness in another month also…and I've not done much dramalandie stuff in this time — I did watch a few Barbie movies here and there to sate the urge for childish, innocent entertainment and kept up with Orange Marmalade, a wonderful webtoon/manga of sorts that I encourage all of you to check out:D Even the Barbie movies for that matter — I absolutely love them hehe. No one else does? With dramas, it's sort of an inertia matter. It's so hard to get started on one, once you have almost completely (never entirely completely:P) got out of dramaland for a month. But I'm gonna get started again for dramas are lovely^^ Just waiting to discover that one drama that will hook me on entirely! Will be back soon hopefully with more news! Take care everybardy <3thoughtsramble

I'M BACK GUYS:D FREE LIKE A BIRD. uhm no. Hahaha sorry that was me going high~ I've been so out of the dramaland I'm completely lost on where I should get back in! There's School 2013 to finish, but other than that, zero plans. Anyone can clue me in please? <3thoughtsramble

HELLO

Published by

HELLO MY DEAR READERS I've been so so busy the past month that the days just fly by — I haven't even finished School 2013! I just had to ditch all the shows and focus on what I was involved with, and even now's not the time for taking breathers. But to keep my innate-drama-side entertained, I've been up to date with Pretty Little Liars, and might I say that the episodes just get better and better! I'm worried that they have cast too many red herrings and clues to tie up satisfactorily at the very very end, but that's a worry that shall be saved for the later. Hopefully I will be able to get back to Heung Soo and Nam Soon soon!! <3thoughtsramble

School 2013 Episode 13

Published by

No recap this time round, just another post of thoughts — Min Ki's face of hopelessness Nam Soon and In Jae looking up And then Min Ki, who sits there and cries</3 And how he tells In Jae that he's just a flower that's being shaken now, right? And I cannot stop loving this two HAHA At this point I stopped taking screenshots since I figured out that there's no time to write a recap..but it's still a good episode nevertheless — How Min Ki slowly overcomes his trauma, and how his mother and him have reached a compromise. I like In Jae's wise words as well, that while experiencing it, any upsetting events would seem like it's a big thing, but just have the strength to survive through that period, and you will come out stronger than before. And this is precisely wh I like School 2013, because it balances plot with life lessons, and not many dramas can do that without seeming like they are preaching I probably should find another whole list …

Aahhh School 2013 Episode 11

Published by

Oh my gawd! Am I just being strangely emotional today, or did someone feel like me too? Teared/cried three times watching School 2013. #1 was when Nam Soon eats his lunch with Heung Soo and he is stuffing all the food in his mouth and tearing. #2 was when Heung Soo tells Uhm Force that Nam Soon and him are just friends in the process of making up. (Oh my how I love this pair of friends. Their friendship is something relat-able. Something that we all can identify with.) #3 is this:

Time Travel Thoughts

Published by

Have been marathoning Queen In Hyun's Man, and am currently hooked on Episode 9…just got me thinking how interesting it is: the destruction of the talisman changes Hee Jin's world and Boong Do's world differently. In Hee-Jin's world, everything else changes but her memories, which means that essentially no one remembers Boong Do, and anything to do with him has to change such that there's not even a trace of him having been in that world. So. Which means that it's to create the idea that Boong Do has never time travelled, since the talisman technically didn't exist. On the other hand, in Boong Do's world, everything else remains the same but his memories. So, the bad guy's still in prison in Jeju, and the servant remembers how he always disappears…but he forgets everything in these two months that have gotten to do with time travel. It's all a bit mind-boggling. If the talisman didn't exist in Hee Jin's world, shouldn't it not exist in Boong Do's world as well? Or is it because the …

Queen In Hyun’s Man

How could I have not discovered this show?! It's amazing. I'm currently hooked on Episode 6 (I think it took me only half a day to get here) and yes I'm aiming to marathon this in two days. Someone recommended it to me but I've never really paid attention to it. Oh I should have.  Bung Do has a natural flair for being a player hahaha.  <3thoughtsramble

Update~~

Published by

I'm not sure where most of my readers come from but here's an early Merry Christmas~~!  I've been spending the month taking a good rest, and also catching up on my various dramas: Die Sterntaler — Stopped at Episode 7. Am 2/3 episodes behind and not really feeling up to it to continue because I know the heartaches are going to start, what with Xiang Qi stepping up on her game, Xiao Cai not being more courageous, Yong )Tuo being the charismatic guy he is and Yong Xiu being (annoyingly) trusting.  Cheongdamdong Alice — Currently on Episode 6. Not loving it per se, but am definitely keeping up with it because of the leads. There was too much crying from the female lead initially and I really don't like it when the male lead goes on his crazy acts, but you've gotta give it to Park Shi Hoo. He switches personalities with such ease.  School 2013 — Now this is the show that I'm really loving. Currently on Episode 6 and loving every single bit …

Die Sterntaler~

Okay so now I'm getting a bit emotionally confused — I've been rooting for Yong Xiu and Xiao Cai, even when Yong Xiu loses his memory and his temper but I must admit my heart played a little tug of war there, when Xiao Cai 'ditched' Yong Tuo and forgot about her date with him, and there he was, happily setting up a nice picnic (though Yong Tuo is still too player for my liking right now…too sweet in a bad way). <3thoughtsramble

Yeo Jin Goo and Kim So Hyun Interview 121112

Published by

Hmm….while I remain a shipper of Yeo Jin Goo and Kim Yoo Jung (hehehe), I think Yeo Jin Goo and Kim So Hyun make a pretty cute couple as well~ Snippets of interview: YJG: I felt sorry towards SH during the filming of Moon That Embraces The Sun, because there was one scene when I had to knock into her shoulder very loudly before walking outInterviewer (towards SH): Did you know that he felt sorry? Or is this your first time hearing it?SH: Oh..I've heard it once before. Interviewer: So did you ask for any material compensation?SH: (laughs shyly, doesn't know how to reply, YJG and Interviewer laugh) —- (After showing Yoo Jung's interview when the interviewers asked about her and Jin Goo) YJG: Yoo Jung's character…mm how do you describe..she has a very lively personality, and even plays daring pranks…a very happy-go-lucky girl like a friend. So Hyun on other hand is slightly quieter, and has an opposite personality but still has its charm. Interviewer: You have not contacted Yoo Jung recently?YJG: (laughs and …

I Miss You

OMG. I have a bunch of dramas all loaded, and I've finally gotten started on I Miss You. First surprise was finding child actress of Moon That Embraces The Sun here. Then!! HOW DID I NOT KNOW HE'S ACTING HERE OMG aaaah~~  Totally watching on now. <3thoughtsramble

Die Sterntaler

Published by

I was really, seriously thinking of recapping this series — I absolutely love the male-female pairing this time, what with the cute, good-looking guy and the innocent, sweet girl. Perfect. The catch is, it's a remake of Spring Days which could probably make the list of my disliked-dramas-of-all-time. That's saying a lot. I'm a HUGE shipper of second leads, anyone who has read my reviews/recaps long enough should know that very well but that was one drama where I totally hated the pairing:( I remembered feeling disapproval at the korean female choosing a guy that looks so much younger and immature than her (sorry, I was shallow then). I definitely remembered shouting "Noooo, please tell me I've guessed wronggg," when I pre-empted the female's lines about how the older brother taught her how to smile, but it's the younger brother who taught her how to cry. And if that's the reason for you to choose the younger brother, I don't know what to say. (On the other hand, I really love these lines from a drama …

Nice Guy Episode 20

Published by

I finally brought myself to watch the last episode (yes, the episode has been hatching on my computer for a week) and I LOVE IT. Just a few thoughts here and there — On the whole, I’m very pleased with how everything ties up, and the directing. I like how Maru’s prayers seem to end at the point when he collapsed in the park, but picked up again with a hopeful tone, with a delightful twist at the end. And while I’m not exactly sure, I would like to believe that yes indeed Maru has all his memories and that he does remember Eun Gi. If you guys recall, the couple rings were the ones that he bought way back when he wanted to give Eun Gi (and he found out that Eun Gi recovered all her memories). It seems quite likely that he has kept these rings all along, and I love that touch. I think the crush Jae Shik has on Secretary Hyun is a bit weird though cute, because I was hoping …

Nice Guy Episode 19 Stills

Published by

I can't take it. The two are so adorable, both Song Joong Ki + Moon Chae Won, as well as Eun Gi and Maru. Just look at that guy smiles! credits:http://www.facebook.com/InnocentManKBS2/photos_stream Episode 20 has been out a few hours ago, but yes like all sad us who don't understand enough Korean, we shall have to wait for subs. SUBS PLEASE. The cast's acting really has me being involved in the show the entire time. The telephone scene between Maru and Eun Gi was so poignant, I couldn't help but cry/tear. And then at the end of it all, I can't help but just really want Maru to be happy. <3thoughtsramble

Future~

Published by

Hoho I've been utterly hooked on Innocent Man, but I don't think I will pick it up as a recapping series — purely for entertainment purposes. Regardless, I am impressed with Song Joong Ki's acting! He shows a maturity that is way different from that of Gu Yong Ha in Sungkyunkwan Scandal and I love it.  Currently, I have my eye set on Priceless, Koukou Nyushi, Monster as well as Die Sterntaler! I would really love some comedy but I'm not very inclined towards To The Beautiful You Not entirely sure if I will continue with Die Sterntaler as well since it is a remake of Spring Days and I remembered that I abhorred the ending. So. It has been some time since I've a drama that I lost my head over. The last time was Moon That Embraces The Sun…I wonder when will the next drama come along? <3thoughtsramble

Ratings

Published by

Has been something that is on my mind recently. Are ratings really that important, and are they a good reflection of the show's quality, or even the show's popularity? You might have guessed already, that this post is triggered by Alice in Wonder City. I really do think that it deserves a higher rating than it has right now (which is below 1 I think) — is it really comparable to Momo Love which suffered from the same ratings, and is it really much worse than other shows like Down With Love?  For a show's quality, the ratings can always be masked with the casts' popularity. You have a few hotshots, mediocre acting, passable script and you can survive with not-bad-ish ratings. But even a show's popularity can't be determined from ratings. Taiwan has a rather flawed system of installing track devices in a small number of televisions, so their percentages are all really based on a small population of people. Also, if you think about it, who controls the remote? Most often than not, …
