SoulMates

Hmmm... I'm not really sure what to write about this drama. I am still having mixed feelings about this. First off I felt that this show dragged a little bit and stretched out things that weren't very important. I feel that they spent way too much time focusing on the supporting leads and their relationships more than the main leads. The show is about Soul mates. I get that they need build up the suspense to the big moment but it just took way too long. And the ending completely sucked. I was very frustrated and felt like it was a waste of my time to watch. BUT it also had its great moments. I will not lie! There are a couple of parts in this show that left me completely astounded and in shock, but then laughing a couple seconds later. I don't think I will ever get used to how comfortable they are with bodily functions. Hahaha.

PLOT:  

Dong-wook, a playboy who no one can even dare to follow. Soo-kyung, a girl who only looks at one man like a sunflower; a perfect, pure hearted...more character. Two people who have never seen each other, and who live on the opposite sides of the world from each other live and love in their own way, but from some point on they start to move towards the same dream and feel the same physiological feelings. Two people who have met by fate in a world full of mixed up fates. Now, the most amazing things, which no one could have ever thought of, start to unfold between the two.

 

Now that I've got all that out of my system I can say that Individually I LOVED all the the characters in this show! Each one was so unique and made this slow moving drama bearable. There are two of the supporting females role that every time they open their mouth you want to burst with laughter. IT IS HILARIOUS!

 

 

 

I would give this a...

2 1/2 stars!

 

Cheongdam-Dong Alice

This show was definately not what I was expecting it to be about. I have a habit of not reading anything about a show and then just jumping right on into it! Now most times its not a big deal, but then there are other times.... well like this one. I thought this was an actual Alice and Wonderland spin-off story but, its really not. LIKE REALLY NOT. Maybe a few references here and there but still. Not enought that I would think that it should really have anything to do with Alice in Wonderland. I did think that the main male lead was a little bit ridiculous at times though. Not in hahaha ridiculous, but as in, "What the heck?". But overall I would say that it was fairly good.

 

PLOT:

Han Se Kyung (Moon Geun Young) is a talented young designer who lives each day with the motto "Strive for your dream to succeed". Until the day she met Cha Seung Jo (Park Shi Hoo) a president of a luxury brand shop in Cheongdam-dong who will change her life

I would give this a...
2 1/2 out of 5 stars!

GU Family Book

Okay I am going to be honest with you. The only reason I started watching this show was because I thought that Choi Jin-Hyuk was the lead role. I cannot begin to describe the disappointment I felt when I realized that was not the case! :) BUT, if you start to watch this you will soon realize like I did this show is not so easily turned off!!! It was very captivating and beautiful! I thought that both the male and female leads did a great job!!!! I really ended up loving this!

 

PLOT:
Story of Choi Kang Chi, born as a half-human-half-mythical-creature (or human werefox half-breed), goes through in order to live more like a human despite not being able to become human.

Last Cinderella

Okay so first off I will tell you this is NOT a korean drama. It's Japanese. Now normally I don't watch Japanese dramas but a friends reccomended this and so I watched it. I will tell you I was NOT disappointed!



Hahahahaha! I really liked this show! It is a little on the weird side for me. Now for most people the age difference while dating someone doesn't matter, but to me i'm a little more picky :) But I still really enjoyed watching this show! It is very whitty but at the same time very serious and has a great plot and really does a great job of tieing everything together at the end! (Can you tell I'm big on endings? hahaha)

PLOT:
Sakura is a 39-year-old single woman who works in a beauty salon. One day she meets Hiroto, a young man 15 years younger, at a party and he is immediately attracted. Rintaro, Sakura's employer and her neighbor, is soon aware of the relationship between his employee and this man much younger than her, he then begins to intrude.

I would definately give this a....
4 out of 5 stars!!!

The King 2 Hearts

 

So this drama was a little hard to get into at first, but I stuck with it and I am glad that I did!! It takes a little bit of going, but once it does... :)  It was a little different for me at some points it left me confused. The bad buy in this drama is very very good, but I really didn't enjoy the violence that he produced and the way he acted. Don't get me wrong, that is what is supposed to happen! But, it was a little much for me! :) The chemistrty that these two have is subtle but very very sweet. I have to admit that I really thought that the two supporting roles had a better connection than the main actors. But all in all it was a very good love story with a good amount of action, romance, and comedy.

 

PLOT:

Lee Jae-ha (Lee Seung-gi) is a handsome yet materialistic crown prince who doesn't care about politics and feels total reluctance to being the second in line to the throne. Lee Jae-kang (Lee Sung-min), the current king, tricks him into joining a joint military collaboration with North Korea as a means to help "make him grow up."

Meanwhile, Kim Hang-ah (Ha Ji-won) is a North Korean Special Forces Officer who is also the daughter of a North Korean military high command official. Both Jae-ha and Hang-ah meet at the joint military training, a crucial part in establishing friendly relations between the two separate countries. Although the two are initially antagonistic towards each other, Jae-ha unwittingly sparks a friendship with Hang-ah and he subsequently falls in love with her. Soon, an arranged marriage is set up between the two and they eventually become engaged. While they attempt to set their differences aside and build a growing relationship, things suddenly take a turn for the worse when King Jae-kang and his wife are assassinated by the devious and notorious terrorist group, Club M, led by John Mayer/Kim Bong-gu (Yoon Je-moon), a mysterious magician who is obsessed with eliminating the royal family and plans to rule in their stead. Now crowned the new King of South Korea, Jae-ha must learn to be responsible and protect the country before it is too late.

 

I would give this a....

3 1/2 out of 5 stars!!!

Who Are You?

Alright so I really did like this drama!! I totally was into it and then it just stopped. I don't know if the show was cancelled or what. But if you are looking for something good to pass the time and don't really care about the ending this is pretty good!

PLOT:
Detective Yang Shi-ohn (So E-Hyun) wakes up from a six-year coma. She gets reassigned to the lost and found department, where she discovers that she's gained the supernatural ability to see ghosts connected to the objects left behind there. Along with her new partner, rookie cop Cha Gun-woo (TaecYeon)  who's a hotheaded skeptic, Shi-ohn uses the information to solve cold cases. Gun-woo only believes in tangible things he can see, hear and touch, but he gradually comes to trust Shi-ohn, and together, the bickering partners help the spirits fulfill their dying wishes and unfinished business before passing on to the afterlife.

If this had had a better ending it would have definately gotten 4 stars but because it didn't I am going to say....

3 out of 5 Stars!!!

My Love From Another Star

Wow... just wow. I am just amazed about how many good dramas have come out lately. My list of FAVS has grown SO much these past couple of months. This has definitely made it up there in my top 10!

PLOT:
Do Min-Joon (Kim Soo-Hyun) is an alien that landed on Earth in the year 1609 during the Joseon Dynasty. As his spaceship is broken, he is stranded on the planet for the next four centuries. He possesses a near-perfect appearance, enhanced physical abilities involving his vision, hearing and speed, and a cynical, jaded view regarding human beings. In the present he works as a college professor and finds out that due to a comet coming in three months, he will be able to return to his home planet. In the meantime he accidentally meets famous actress Cheon Song-yi (Gianna Jun), the biggest Hallyu star in Korea, when she moves in next door to his luxurious apartment and also turns out to be attending his classes at college. Song-yi is an obnoxious, entitled attention seeker, someone who became a top star in her teens and never learned how to live a normal life.


In the first 3 mins you are already laughing. Cheon Song-yi (Gianna Jun) does a phenomenal job! When I heard she was in this drama I wasn't totally sure how it was going to play out, this being SO different than the action movies I have seen her in before, but she did a remarkable job!  Her character... where to start? She is very self-important, obnoxious, vain, extremely (gut-busting-ly) dumb, and she frequently talks to herself.


Do Min-Joon (Kim Soo Hyun) *sigh* I cannot tell you how much I adore this man! Every drama I have ever seen him in I could not help but fall in love with him, and this is no different. His character at the beginning is unfeeling, cold and cynical, but as this drama unfolds his inhuman hard heart melts and so does yours. There is a moment in this show where he breaks down and starts to cry. It was probably the most unbearable and tragic moment in a drama I have ever seen.


 This show weaves the most tragically beautiful love story I have ever seen in Korean Drama. I really loved the way that this show ended as well. They covered all the loose ends and made you thoroughly satisfied. The ending was a little sad, but was so distressingly romantic. I would absolutely without a doubt recommend this to anyone looking for something to help rekindle that little spark of impossible yet destined romance that is written in the stars.
I would give this a solid...

 

4 out of 5 Stars!!!

Now I now this is a little strange and definitely something I don't do ever but I seriously couldn't resist, and not only because its true :)

 

Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
