Vampire Prosecutor 2

Image
Vampire Prosecutor 2 (Korean) - Tae Yeon & Jung In I loved this season. I was on the edge of my seat just about every episode. Definitely the last few. It was great to have all of the characters back. It was also good that the opening from the first season was brought back for this one. I also liked how there was a theme song. The song is MC Sniper's “Danger” . There was another song that was used that I like to think as being Tae Yeon and Jung In's theme. That song is Carly Rae Jepsen's “Call Me Maybe” that was played in a couple of different areas. There were things I loved, liked, and so on. I loved the moments between Tae Yeon and Jung In. Like episode four when the both of them were at a filming location where one of the murder victims was working at (although the second victim was also working there but that was not their case). Every time the people were filming, Jung In would imagine it was her as the lead female and Tae Yeon as the lead ...

Life is Beautiful, Part 2

Life is Beautiful (Korean) - Tae Sub & Kyung Soo UPDATE! So, at first, I couldn't find a website that had all of the episodes. So, I decided to go from site to site, collect the URLs, and then watch the show. Well, at one point, I came across Good Drama which just happened to have all of the episodes. I was so happy! I still am! Anyway! I can't believe how much I missed by only watching those specific scenes on YouTube . When Kyung Soo and Tae Sub were basically sneaking around (hugging each other, touching each other's shoulders, etc.) in Tae Sub's house, I found it to be beautiful. And I don't even know why. I also fiund it beautiful that they would text or call each other in the privacy of their own rooms like a couple. Of course, they are a couple. Whenever Tae Sub's step-mother or someone in the family would bring up the topic of Chae Young and what type of girl he likes, it was sad to see Tae Sub not be able to say anything. The look on his face ...

Life is Beautiful, Part 1

Image
Life is Beautiful (Korean) - Tae Sub & Kyung Soo Okay, so, I "watched" this latest drama. "Watched" is in quotes because I couldn't watch it. It's because for some strange reason, none of the episodes (or most of them) were unavailable to watch. I tried on Dramacrazy .net but none of the beginning episodes were working, and I am not going to watch the last twenty episodes of a drama without watching the beginning. Even episode twenty or thirty wouldn't work. I went from place to place to try and watch the episodes but the videos wouldn't work. I got lucky enough to watch the first episode on some random site. The only thing I was able to watch was twenty-seven videos about Tae Sub and Kyung Soo . The person who put them together only included like if the both of them were hugging or talking or having a fight with their families. I watched a fan-made video about the both of them and there were scenes I never saw. One example is when Kyun...

The Color of a Woman

Image
The Color of a Woman (Korean) - Joon Soo & So Ra I really loved this show. I know that I say that all the time when I watch a good show. And another thing I say all the time when something bad occurs every second is that the more I watched this show the more depressing it became. Luckily there were happy endings! What I found to be a shocker was that Joon Soo was the man who said, "I don't want to sleep with you (yet)." The reason the "yet" is in parentheses is because So Ra didn't hear him say it because a vehicle was driving passed him when he said "yet". And because of that, they never spoke, saw, or wrote each other in the ten years since that incident. Before we find out that it was him, we only hear get the scene from So Ra's point-of-view ("I don't want to sleep with you."), and we don't see that it is him because we are looking at him from a hotel window on the second floor. What I liked from ...

K-POP: Extreme Survival

Image
K-POP: Extreme Survival (Korean) - Woo Hyun & Seung Yeon I liked this show. I could not believe they had freakin ' MBLAQ !!! (G.O., Cheon Dong, Mir, and Joon ) make a couple of appearances as the band M1. I liked the song "Stand Up" that the drama's latest group, M2 Junior, performed. Awesome song. One thing I did not like was how the show was ended. Okay, so it ended with the main couple but did Woo Hyun go to that meeting where he would say that he convinced Seung Yeon to dress like a guy to hide their relationship? Did her uncle get with the team manager or did she leave the country? There were so many things that basically came up last second that were not given a conclusion. In the end, I liked the storyline and the music. And not to mention freakin ' MBLAQ !!! making some appearances and acting perfectly!!! Unfortunately, this drama does not rank in the top spots on my favorite dramas list. All in all, it was good. Just not great.

Devil Beside You

Image
Devil Beside You (Taiwanese) - Ah Meng & Qi Yue I enjoyed this drama. The only downside to this show was that they sped through so a million plots in, like, two seconds flat. One of the story lines was Ah Meng's brother, Ah Rang, suddenly showing up, saying he likes Qi Yue, and also saying that he'll basically let the whole world know about their (Qi Yue and Ah Meng's) relationship. That only lasted, like, two episodes. The other story was a sudden arranged dating thing between Ah Meng and another girl. Didn't last very long. Another thing I didn't like was how after the first several episodes or so, they left out Xiao Cai (Qi Yue's other friend) and the gang. Only Yuan Yi and Qing Zi were in every episode and Yang Ping and Li Xiang once in a while after the first several episodes. Only the episode where the substitute teacher was having a relationship problem and the final episode was when the entire gang (still excluding Xiao Cai) made...

Take Care of the Young Lady

Image
Take Care of the Young Lady (Korean) - Dong Chan & Hae Na, Tae Yoon & Eui Joo I know! I know! It's been forever since I made a post on anything. It's just that, when I was done with my last post, I spent that time to the seventh keeping up to date on Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na and then last Wednesday, Dad was asking me about Torchwood : Miracle Day  which led me to watching some scenes from Torchwood . Specifically scenes with Ianto . This led me to videos and fan fics of the show. This then led me to videos from other shows and Harry Potter videos and fan fics . I just started this show two days ago so you should be happy I am making a post!   I quite enjoyed this show. It was so typical of Hae Na to be a spoiled brat. When she nearly caused Dong Chan to get into an accident, she threw money at him. He got revenge on her by getting her community service and to pay money. She then turned around and claimed kidnapping when she had called for a dri...

Vampire Prosecutor

Image
Vampire Prosecutor (Korean) - Tae Yeon & Jung In I quite enjoyed watching this show even if it is very far from what I would normally watch. I liked just about everything this show had to offer. From music to story lines to relationships and funny moments. For the music, I did not care much for all of the music that was played. The one song I did love to listen to was the opening theme to the show that could be heard throughout the show in some areas.  I liked how every episode had its own story with the exception of one storyline linking all twelve episodes together. There were times where I was on the edge of my seat, waiting in anticipation for the next scene to appear or someone to make an entrance. The last two episodes had me on the edge because the main three of four characters were getting close to the real killer(s). I was practically biting my nails when Tae Yeon was fighting with their boss, Chul Oh, in the alleyway after Chul Oh killed Ji Hee and then both m...

MBLAQ's Hello Baby; Smile, You; Queen In Hyun's Man

Image
I know that it has been such a long time since I've made a single post anywhere. The thing is is that I had a hard time on finding what to watch next. The first thing I did was skim through some of the dramas I've watched before. Okay. So I watched a scene or two from Scent of a Woman , Heartstrings , Playful Kiss , You're Beautiful , My Princess , 49 Days , and It Started With A Kiss . And then I skimmed every episode of It Started With A Kiss 2 , Autumn's Concerto , and Queen In Hyun's Man . Then, after that, I went through a ton of pages on DramaCrazy to find new shows to watch. I found one show that is not a drama but I did watch after I finished my search. MBLAQ's Hello Baby (Korean)   MBLAQ's Hello Baby is a reality show. Well, Hello Baby is the reality show, and MBLAQ was hosting the fifth season. I quite enjoyed watching it because it showed that even "tough guys" are unable to control anything. One thing that made...

Smiling Pasta

Image
Smiling Pasta (Taiwanese) - He Qun & Xiao Shi , Ah Zhe & Rita   I loved this show. There were some parts that ridiculous in a cute way and others that were hilarious. There were also other scenes that was sad because of what was going on and others that made me happy. I also loved the music. Now, here's what I have to say. One thing I loved occurred in the thirteenth episode between He Qun and Xiao Shi . Because Xiao Shi didn't listen to the administrator, she had to clean the Archive room. Well, when He Qun is in the room with her, the door shuts and locks them inside. He says that he read one way to keep calm was to remember what makes one happy at the moment. She starts listing them off and stuff and my heart just jumped when she kept on mentioning moments between the both of them. That was what made her happy and what she mentioned: moments where they were together. Then, I had butterflies in my stomach when they were about to kiss. LOVED!! And...

Dae Mul

Image
Dae Mul (Korean) - Do Ya & Hye Rim I liked this show. Though I did not know what was going on half of the time, I still liked it. The thing that I did not get was what was happening behind the scene in the political parties. Basically, what it comes down to is that everybody involved in the two main parties (or at least the heads of the parties) were bribing each other and accepting illegal funds to get what they wanted. It was like this: Person A bribed Person B who bribed Person C who bribed Person D who turned around and bribed C who was supported by Person E who bribed A... It was just chaotic for the first twenty-two or twenty-three episodes. Out of twenty-four! One thing I liked was how Do Ya was always there for Hye Rim. And he also hung out with her son. I also liked the last five or so minutes of the last episode. This is because he set up a very beautiful scene for her. There was a Christmas tree, a table with a lot of candle, and another table that had dinner ...

Queen In Hyun's Man

Image
Queen In Hyun's Man (Korean) - Boong Do & Hee Jin   I loved this show. I know. I say that for almost all of the shows I watch. But this one is in the top five or top ten of the best shows I have watched since starting dramas. I thought that it would be boring because it was about a guy from 1694 and a woman from 2012 who meet. Well, I was totally wrong about that. It was EXCELLENT ! I found it funny when they meet for the second time because she faints. I would too if I saw someone suddenly appeared out of thin air. I also found it funny at the end of the sixteenth episode because they show him going through the interview process with her friend, Soo Kyung , for the third time. I think there were some other parts that were funny but I don't remember because what is staying with me are a few majorly sad parts. The first sad part is when Boong Do returns to 1694 and bad guys are waiting for him. Well, one of the bad guys ends up slicing the talisman ...

Nodame Cantabile

Image
Nodame Cantabile (Japanese) - Shinichi & Megumi This was a cute drama. Though I didn't really care for the couple and what was going on majorly between the characters, there were places I found a little bit funny, and I also quite enjoyed the music. The one thing I laughed at was whenever someone would get hit and that person would end up flying a million miles away or would end up hitting a boulder or something in their path. One thing I liked was when  Shinichi  and  Megumi  were on the phone with each other and he ends up coming up behind her and hugging her. Actually, before that, when he gets into the cab to go to her hometown where she is at, he basically thinks to her as if she would hear,  You don't know how much it took for me to ask you to go with me . The week or so before he goes after her, he had asked her to go with him to Europe. Besides the story and stuff, I  loved  the music. Why? Hello!! Classical music! I was practically...

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge

Image
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (Japanese) - Kyohei & Sunako I liked this show because I just found it too cute. Unfortunately, this was a Japanese drama which meant it had only ten episodes. There was basically one story per episode and each of the four guys had an episode dedicated to themselves. One thing I liked between Kyohei and Sunako is when she first appears. It was so funny. It's a stormy night and the lights go out. I'm thinking to myself, What is this? Halloween? This would be a great time for it to be Halloween. He walks towards the balcony doors and she suddenly appears with her face and hands pressed against the glass. He is so scared that he falls down. I also found it funny whenever she was like, "Ma- Mabushi !" (Br-Bright!) WHACK! Whenever she would see his face, she would say that, and she would end up head-butting him. In one of the last two episodes, when she says that and is getting ready to head-butt him, he grabs ...

Switch Girl!!

Image
Switch Girl!! (Japanese) - Arata & Nika This was cute. I just didn't like that it was eight episodes and each one was approximately twenty-six minutes long. Unfortunately, all Japanese dramas are like this where there is a small number of episodes and so the relationship between the two main characters is obviously rushed into. Other than that, this was cute. I liked how Nika was trying for her relationship with Arata . He saw the teacher forcibly kiss her and she had lied to Arata about what happened. It took a Valentine's Day Confession ceremony thing for them to get back together. I also liked that whenever Nika would cry over something sad such as their break-up, you would want to cry alongside her. I found Arata to be cee - ute without his "glasses" on. All in all, this was a cute drama with some parts I was scared of and some story lines I thought could be developed if only the Japanese were into long-running dramas (having fifteen to twenty...

Ojakgyo Brothers

Image
Ojakgyo Brothers (Korean) - Tae Hee & Ja Eun Just like a couple of my other posts, this one is long. So! Here I go! I quite enjoyed this show. For the first several times I would look at the name and find out how many episodes there were (58), I was like, No way. There is no way I am going to watch fifty-eight episodes. After watching a collaboration several times, I finally decided that I would just watch it because I couldn't find anything that sounded any better than this show. I am so glad I chose to watch it. In fact, this drama is longer than It Started With A Kiss and It Started With A Kiss 2 on their own and combined. Only by eight episodes but whatever. So, anyway, back to the show itself. I just loved Tae Hee and Ja Eun . I loved their interaction between each other. One scene I found funny was when he came home drunk one night and crawled into her tent. When he collapsed on her, she shrieked . And then she had to go and take photos of him passed out. A...
