I don't know…I think this show definitely deserves a higher rating than it has right now. There might be loopholes and plot-holes and pace-holes and whatever holes here and there along the way, but no doubt, it has much better content, directing and I would even go so far to claim, better acting than what a lot of better-rated idol dramas have!
So has anyone watched the finale yet? IT'S AWESOME. I've no time to write out a recap, but here's just some of my thoughts included under the spoiler tag! AH:((( I knew it that Caleb will be shot. I mean dude, did no one teach you not to put down a gun when a pyschopath is still alive and twitching? I'm just hoping that he will survive the shooting. He better be. Nate is dead, but that means whatever he knows goes down to the grave with him. I'm just thinking, what if when A said that he/she owes Emily one, it was referring to killing Nate? I've been reading a few speculation theories online and apparently Marlene King has confirmed that Toby has no good intentions right now. Really?:( that might just be a vague answer thrown out to distract us, because when Toby hugged Spencer and they shot a scene of him, he looked conflicted and determined and sad, not hateful. But one of the speculation theories I've liked is that Toby was …
HAHA thoughtsramble isn't just a site for me to post recaps, but also mainly to fangirl. And here's my fangirl post of the month…on Aaron! No guys, seriously if you can understand Mandarin, you should always watch behind the scenes, that's when you fall in love with the actors themselves and not just the characters. I really started liking Aaron after Love Buffet. True, Ah Yi is so sweet, but the real deal is looking at how playful Aaron is, and that's what makes me follow on with the other shows. And I've been watching behind the scenes for Alice in Wonder City, and I'm so glad that he's still as cheeky as ever. If anything, I think it's something innate, rather than produced. I've watched behind the scenes for Miss Rose as well, and try as they might, the leads weren't able to be very funny off set. I sat there watching, and found myself laughing for a grand total of… one time. That's when I realise that behind the scenes are so important, …
At this rate, I'm going to churn out one recap a month hahaha. That sounds…not bad^^
I MISS YOU GUYS:(((( What dramas are you all watching now? I'm still on the heels of Alice in Wonder City and Pretty Little Liars. Not much time to churn out anything at all but well, at least I've the time to watch a few episodes here and there, which is always good. <3thoughtsramble
Yep! I'm back in business again, at least for a while. Well, an what an episode to start with.
It's always major spammage of screencaps when you have 1. good quality of video and 2. a fangirl-able episode. On a side note, wow it has been ages since I've done a recap. Rusty fingersXD
Whoo! Just finished Episode 2, and it's quite nice! Other than Lara's acting, I thought the other three are not bad actually. Check out the behind the scenes if you haven't already! <3thoughtsramble
Gasp-worthy. Lara's acting, though, is cringe-worthy. <3thoughtsramble
I'M BACK IN BUSINESS. Haha okay, not really. Remember me saying a while ago that there's a drama that I would really want to catch? Yep, that's A Miracle For Alice. There's a reason why I'm so hyped up about this show. Okay reasonS. First and foremost, we have Aaron Yan. -cue fangirling- Thoughtsramble has been peppered with fangirling posts over Aaron here and there, and if you want to know why I like him so much, check out Love Buffet recaps! And then, we have one of my favourite actors as the second male lead, Xiu Jie Kai, and I'm very happy about it. I'm feeling rather neutral towards the two female leads, but!!!! This show was advertised as somewhat similar to Nodame Cantabile -cue another round of fangirling- and that both male leads would be playing the violins -cue faint-. I mean that's like the best combination everr. My favourite actor playing one of my favourite musical instruments in a plot that takes the drift of another drama that I love. Need I …
Hey there(: Now I suppose some of you might have seen this coming…and yes I'm going to take a long but temporary break from thoughtsramble. Remember how I always get sporadic rants and emo-times last year to the start of this year, when I worry about how I have to leave this place before I could see myself fulfilling the maximum potential of the site? Yeah, and even though it isn't exactly that point of time where I have to leave completely, this is perhaps a small taste of what is to come. By a 'long but temporary break', I don't mean that long, I might even be back next week, but I don't want to keep you guys wondering where I will be, should I NOT be able to come back next week. So I've decided to just write a proper post. This year, I've moved on to a different school environment that has probably twice the workload. To make things 'worse', I've taken up a new commitment in school and that takes up …
Sigh, enough excuses made — I must admit, I'm getting a bit lazy. School has snowballed, I've taken up a mega huge commitment in real life, and there are a couple of things that I need to face in the coming weeks, which means that I really do not have much energy left to watch any dramas, much less recap or review on anything. Strangely, I'm in a very zen mood about this. The past me might have been quite affected, seeing that no updates means lack of responsibility to my readers, and on the practical side, less readers, but I really hope you guys will understand where I'm coming from. I'm not taking a long break though, but seeing as how this temporary silence is the longest inactive period I ever had, I feel obliged to at least pop by and make some noise. Give me a couple of days more, and I think I might be able to come up with something when weekends arrive. In any case, don't stop coming/commenting or whatever! …
IM BACK:D Someone is in desperate need of sleep, and dramas. <3thoughtsramble
will be off for a little while, so I apologise for any lack of updates. I will be back in a few days, and then I will decide which recaps to write and so on. Happy watching!(: <3thoughtsramble
I'm in a cloudy, dreamy mood right now and it makes me really happy. Updates as usual — Have jumped onto the Equator Man's ship last week, and wow, you guys are really awesome. I know that it's because I was fast in recapping and Dramabeans hasn't posted its recaps on it, hence the large flow of traffic, which means that I foresee a drop of numbers next week, because I don't think I can be here from Friday till Monday….but it still makes me happy to see comments, and no matter what the stats are, I write because I love it!(: Next, I thinkkkk I will totally loveee it to be on the King2Hearts ship as well. Finally watched the existing episodes (but cheated with some recaps from Dramabeans), and they are amazing….like taking a ride on the rollar coaster. You never know when some mindless prank is going to turn into a gun war, or if a serious test is going to end up in cute bickering, before some gunshotthatjustcausesyourhearttojumptoyourmouth. But climbing onto …
I'm so amused at all the references — how the friends teased Hang Ah if she thought that she was Hwang Jin Yee, because…Ha Ji Won acted as Hwang Jin Yee before! And then when Hang Ah fangirled over all the celebrities in the military, I just knew it that a reference to Hyun Bin would come up, it will have totally topped the day if they start talking about Secret GardenXD <3thoughtsramble
Gah. I have no idea if it's the Lee Joon Hyuk factor, or simply second-fiddle factor, but I do feel sad for Jang Il.
First recap on this show! Excited~
Aha, I'm so not done fangirling here. I'm so excited to see Lee Joon Hyuk as the bad guy (he was sooo good in City Hunter; I loved him!) yet, sad at the same time…because I'm an ordinary girl who likes a good guy any time (I'm a second fiddle fan, remember?) But this scene makes me really anticipate the development that is going to come our way: (sorry he was moving too fast in panic and no screenshots that I've attempted were clear) I'm so excited to see his acting; I think he will be able to carry out the different conflicts within Jang Il really well! Then Seon Woo passed by Jang Il, who kind of heaved a relief…before Seon Woo grabbed him from behind, and Jang Il was in the most terrified, choked state I've ever seen. Just saying, I thought that choked expression was really good. I hope I'm not being biased, am I, anyone? Phew, I finally caught up! I can't say for sure that I will be recapping this, …
He has appeared!:D <3thoughtsramble
And so we transit from child to adult in Episode 4. More on that later. Love, love this scene when Seon Woo jumped off the bridge and landed on the train, before a tear slid out from his eyes. And while Seon Woo's basically throwing his life out there because of Jang Il, Jang Il was happily setting up a new life in Seoul. It was kinda cute to watch him 'confess' to Ji Won. Aww, who wouldn't melt when you see a guy looking at you like that, tell me. TWO GOOD LOOKING GUYS IN SUITS. His face before hitting Seon Woo another time, rendering him fully unconscious. And is it just me who find this scene a little creepy? How Jang Il starts rehearsing in front of the mirror what he should say when the police comes to find him? How he does that with a little hint of desperation mixed in with calm and calculation? I like the portrayal of Jang Il — it's very interesting. He's not really an Evil Villain, …
I wouldn't say that I'm entirely hooked on this show yet, but episodes 1 and 2 have proven to be quite promising. While waiting (impatiently) for the adults to take over so that I can finally see Lee Joon Hyuk in action again, I'm also appreciating the acting of the young actors and actresses.
Well I was wrong in thinking that Moon That Embraces The Sun will send me into a kdrama slump. Turns out that there are three kdramas that I do want to check out right now — Equator Man, Rooftop Prince and King2Hearts. I'm on Episode 3 of Rooftop Prince, and just started on the Equator Man which looks really promising: The very important man who is really the guy that makes me even click on the show. It seems like Lee Joon Hyuk is going to take second place to Uhm Tae Woong, whose only shows I've watched was Delightful Girl Choon Hyang, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be happy about this. I mean, I like Lee Joon Hyuk. Younger version of Jang Il, acted by Siwan. Kyaaa~. Younger version of Seon Woo (Lee Hyun Woo) is not too bad either((: And aww, Jang Il got doused with water. Not too certain how far I will carry on with this show. The first episode starts out with a scene that seems to be …
A proper update, and a time for me to breathe. I haven't been properly updating since my last post which was on Pretty Little Liars' Finale Recap, and today, I've finally uploaded my Strawberry Night review, henceforth marking the end of my four-dramas'-recaps period. It has been the greatest number of dramas that I've chosen to take up, and while I've made decisions to drop an episode here or there, I'm glad that I've survived with each drama till the very end. In case you haven't realised, yes, it has really been hectic. This is the first time I didn't update for more than a week, since I've started writing seriously on thoughtsramble. I had on average five hours of sleep which is kind of sucky, because I still have school. It was tiring and fun, but I'm ever so happy for a timely break. I'm not very sure about my upcoming recap projects yet. There simply wasn't any time to watch anything, but I figured that Rooftop Prince seems like a good choice. The …
Yes, I'm sorry:/ I didn't want to drag this out for too long, and I practically have no time to sleep, much less for dramas and recaps…so I've decided to do a review/episode summary instead! No screencaps, just plain words. (And by summary, I mean summary)
I'm left off with one episode of Strawberry Night to watch and recap, then I can officially end say that I've unlocked the achievement of recapping four series at one go! Looking at my busy days ahead though, I will have to say that this will not come soon, and I apologise for that. The past two days were crazy, having to deal with stuff that took my sleep away from me, but it was fun(: The next few days will be even crazier, and so thoughtsramble might be quite quiet. But I look forward to filling this place up with thoughts and recaps again, so remember to keep visiting; I haven't ditched this place^^ <3thoughtsramble
Heyyy, here's the recap! Everything pertaining to my reaction that has gotten to do with the identity of A, will be put in spoiler tags.
I will be coming up with a recap in a day, but here's my thoughts….and I presume anyone clicking on the cut below should be smart enough to know that there will be tons of spoilers! So what do I think of the finale?
I believe…I'm back into a Kdrama slump. I'm not sure if you guys remembered, but basically, I had been in a slump after I finished with City Hunter and even though I tried watching other kdramas, nothing seemed good at all. Until I got bored and decided to watch Moon That Embraces The Sun (yep, so I was on the boat since it first started, and not like after it got famous…so it's quite amazing to see how its popularity went from okay-ish to boom!) which then brought me out of my slump. But I think I'm going back in. I don't know. Nothing that has been showing during the span of Moon That Embraces The Sun appeals to me, and while I remain open-minded to upcoming shows like Love Rain, King2Hearts and Fashion King, I feel a lack of excitement. I got Shut Up Flower Boy Band loaded already, so hopefully it's going to at least sate my drama urge for now. <3thoughtsramble
This episode is rather mind-boggling; I'm not even sure whether I understood everything 0.0 Anyway, who else wishes for Kikuta — Reiko interaction too! Seriously, at this rate, they will only date and get married ten lifetimes later.
