Cinderella with Four Knights

 Cinderella with Four Knights (Korean) - Ha Won & Ji Woon





Originally, I did not watch this show, skipping past it whenever I was looking for something to watch. A few days, ago, I saw it on Netflix and watched the short clip they showed when it's on a show for a period of time. I saw the clip and figured, "I will just check it out. I highly doubt I am going to like it." Suffice to say, I was wrong.

I enjoyed how hard Ha Won tried to accomplish the tasks given to her by the grandfather. It showed how hard she would work while living with the upper class rather than having to try to skate by in life. These tasks led me to enjoying the interactions between her and the Kang cousins more and more.

As the show progressed, I saw Ji Woon slowly change because of Ha Won. Obviously not because of any feelings that would develop but because she was honest, trying to make the guys get along, and also because she cared about each of them.

I think the thing I enjoyed most, in a weird way, is Ji Woon unravelling the story of his parents. Not just his parents, but also how Ha Won and her mom ended up being part of that several years earlier. What I found sad was Ha Won basically being told by the grandfather to leave the house and never come back because she was dating Ji Woon. It was even sadder to see their story being exactly like his parents' story. Thankfully, at the end, the two of them were able to start dating again.

At the beginning, I hated Hyun Min because he was a player. I am happy that as the show went on, I got to see more and more as to why he was the way he was. It was sad to see he blamed himself for something he did not cause. I think he was too young or too scared to comprehend the situation. Or somewhere along those lines. I am glad he was able to confess to Hye Ji, the girl he has loved for years, about that day and that he would protect her.

I loved Seo Woo. He was like the younger brother who wanted nothing to do with the family when it came to his music. That was his priority. I am glad that he changed, I think quickly, when it came to them because of Ha Won. And I think he was the easiest one to change. 

At the end of the day, I am glad I watched this, even if it took me years to stop skipping over it. I think I will continue to watch this show.

Boys Over Flowers (Korean) - Yi Jung & Ga Eul Now, there's not much to this show. This show was about this main couple who I don't give a crap about. Now, this is the couple to care about. In the beginning Yi Jung and Ga Eul didn't like each other. Yi Jung was like a womanizer. Ga Eul only hung out with him and his three friends because the leader of the group was hanging out with her friend. When the show got extremely boring and only followed the main characters, I would speed through the episode, specifically looking for Yi Jung and Ga Eul , and watched those scenes. Eventually, Yi Jung and Ga Eul begin to like each other and then fall in love. But they don't say a word. In the final episode, Yi Jung said to Ga Eul that he had to leave the country for a couple of years and that when he got back, the first thing he was going to do would be to look for her. So, after a couple of years, he returned, and guess what the first thing he did was. He looked for...

Tree of Heaven (Korean) - Yoon Suh & Hana I enjoyed this show. There were moments when it was happy and moments when it was sad. One thing I found unbelievable was the fact that every time something happened, Hana's aunt would hit her! I kept thinking that Hana just needed to turn around and get physical with her aunt rather than just taking the beatings! But no. One thing I liked was when she went to his hotel room on his birthday. The room looked so romantic. There were a lot of candles lit and a lot of her favorite rose was spread throughout the room. When I saw the room, I was in shock. I thought I was going to die with how beautiful the room looked. One thing that was sad was when Yoon Suh told Hana to marry Ryu. I was like, What?! You love her! She loves you! How can you tell her to marry somebody else?! And on her wedding day to Ryu, she was not happy. She couldn't even smile because she was so sad. And that made me sad because she should be marrying Yoon Suh. Not...

Advance Bravely (Chinese) - Yuan Zong & Xia Yao This was an excellent drama to watch, even though only the first season is out. I actually finished watching it last weekend but I have been reading the translated chapters (there's two hundred-plus and only ninety are done) for the past week. I like that some things were changed such as the characters. In the book, just about everybody smoked. In the show, no one smokes which I like. I like Yuan Zong and Xia Yao's chemistry because it keeps me guessing as to if Xia Yao is starting to fall in love with Yuan Zong in this scene or that scene. The same thing with Yuan Zong. Also, with how a certain scene between them ends, it makes me wonder if they kiss or just look passionately into each other's eyes. I do have to say that my favorite scenes are with them together. They could be talking about the weather or staring into each other's eyes while twenty people are around them and I would still think, “...
