Doom at your Service 어느 날 우리집 현관으로 멸망이 들어왔다 | Review

I’ve recently had the time to watch dramas aired in the past years, dramas that I’ve wanted to watch but didn’t have time to. “Doom at your service” was a drama that I had on my “plan to watch” list for the longest time. Wanted to watch it last year but it wasn’t completed and as I waited, I continued to forget about it as newer dramas aired. 

So, finally, I’ve had the time to watch it.

Thirty-Nine 서른, 아홉 | Review

It's been a while since I last posted! I've been watching a lot of dramas and have not been able to catch up with writing the reviews. Not to worry! I'll get down to writing the reviews... soon... 

I wanted to do a weekly update of this drama but in the end, I couldn’t keep up with that frequent posting schedule. So, I’m here to write a review after watching the whole drama.

Forecasting Love and Weather 기상청 사람들: 사내연애 잔혹사 편 EP 1 - 8 | Review

Before I begin a new drama, let me get these thoughts out of the way. I’m basically breaking all of my own norms by starting on another ongoing drama. I’ve started on Forecasting Love and Weather as it was showing on Netflix. I saw some clips and it looked good. 

I shall briefly write about my thought for the first 8 episodes while waiting for the rest of the episodes to air. 

SPOILER WARNING

Thirty-Nine 서른, 아홉 Episode 1 & 2 | Review

I’m starting on a new drama and I’m going to try to do an episode or 2 episode update instead of my usual whole drama review. I’m not sure how it’ll go but let’s give it a shot! 

This drama is currently ongoing and airing 2 episodes a week on Netflix. Hopefully, I can be patient and wait for the next week's episodes.

Our Beloved Summer 그 해 우리는 | Review

So, I've completed another drama! I didn’t expect to finish this drama that quickly, considering I started it only on Monday and I tend to watch Korean dramas slower than Chinese dramas (I watch Chinese dramas sped up hehe). 

I’m glad I waited for this drama to complete airing before starting on it. I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much if I had to wait days to watch the next episode. Watching it back to back like what I did (I basically binge-watch most of my dramas, do not like waiting), provided a fuller picture of the storyline. I liked that it was on Netflix, the autoplay feature makes drama-watching life easier. 

You could probably also say that a new year’s resolution would be to write a review of dramas when I just completed it so it’s fresh in my mind. However, that also may mean the review may not have any structure and just me writing whatever thought I had when I finished the drama. 

Without further ado… here’s the review on Our Beloved Summer.

Crush 原来我很爱你 | Review

I finished this drama yesterday and I haven’t really formed concrete thoughts about it yet. Overall, though, I'd say it wasn’t very pleased with the whole outcome of the drama and if I had to give it a rating, it’d be 6.5/10. 

Those who have been reading my drama reviews (thank you if you do ♥), would probably know that I'm quite accepting of dramas with not-so-good plots if they have a happy ending or well-concluded ending.  

This drama did not leave viewers hanging BUT... yes, the BUT... I feel they could’ve done so much better with the plot. It had so much potential... 

I'm not sure how coherent this review is going to be but if you watched this drama and would like to hear my thoughts, please keep reading and join in the discussion.

Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha 갯마을 차차차 | Review

Once again late to the drama party by waiting for all the episodes of this drama to air before I started watching. However, this time, I managed to catch up with everyone else. I started watching this when episode 15 aired and completed it the day after the final episode 16 aired. So, I’m not that late to this drama party 🎉 but by the time this post goes up, it may be quite late.   

I did get some spoilers from those K-pop news sites and that almost made me decide not to watch the drama. I’m glad I decided to start watching drama.

My Fated Boy 我的邻居长不大 | Review

I have been into watching more Chinese dramas as compared to Korean dramas recently. I find that Chinese dramas, most of the time, are pretty predictable and thus, lighthearted. 

Lately, the Chinese dramas I’ve watched have somewhat similar storylines. Rather cliche storylines but not complaining as it makes it something easy to watch. 

Like every cliche or predictable drama that I’ve watched, I still end up watching them just to find out how the story unfolds. Even the most cliche dramas can end up cringe-worthy.

True Beauty 여신강림 | Review

It’s been a while since I’ve written a drama review! I’ve been busy with work and have been putting off drama watching and using the time to sleep and rest instead.

First off, I love the webtoon that this drama is based on. I started reading the webtoon during “Circuit Breaker” last year and I was hooked from the first episode! When I heard they were making it into a drama, I was a little skeptical. How were they going to turn someone ugly into someone pretty? 

As the webtoon is still ongoing I wasn’t sure what to expect with the drama. They definitely wouldn’t be able to follow the original webtoon since the storyline has yet to be complete. So I began watching wanting to find out how different it would be.

I Cannot Hug You 无法拥抱的你 | Review

I watched this drama some time ago and began on this drama review then but paused and didn't continue it for awhile. So here goes nothing! 

Over time, I've added more and more dramas to my "plan to watch" list on mydramalist and the list got really long. Thus far, I did drop a few dramas but most of the dramas I've watched in the recent months have not disappointed! Except maybe a web drama that I just completed... I'll save this for another post.  

For some strange reason, I actually started watching this from the beginning and not somewhere in the middle like what I normally do. Halfway through, I realised that this drama was 32 episodes only because there were 2 seasons! I wasn't complaining though, as the plot was really interesting and I wanted to see how it would play out.

Kiss Goblin 키스요괴 | Review

Just before the year ends, let's try to complete this drama review! 

I don't think I've written a review a web drama before. Maybe I have some years ago but not recently. I found out about this drama from Facebook, they usually share those short clips from the interesting parts enticing people to watch the drama. Well, guess what? It worked! I wanted to find out what happens next.

Go Go Squid 亲爱的, 热爱的 | Review

There are many drama reviews waiting for me to complete writing! I have been watching lots of dramas lately but haven't had the time to complete a drama review. All these reviews just piles up if I don't begin writing them. 

So without further ado, let's discuss this Chinese drama, "Go Go Squid!" 

I heard some of my friends talking about this drama when it was first airing but I only started watching it when it came out of Netflix. Although I can understand Chinese but I still prefer to have English subtitles to support me LOL.

Find Yourself 下一站是幸福 | Review

When I first began on this drama, it had just finished airing so there were quite a few people and sites on my timeline talking about it. Being a Kpop fan, I wanted to check it out since Victoria was the female lead of this drama. Let me know if you started on this drama because of Victoria too! :)

As you may already know, I don't usually watch dramas from the beginning, choosing to start either in the middle or towards the end. I may even drop the drama if it fails to sustain my interest. However, I started this drama from the beginning and it managed to keep me interested throughout all 41 episodes. Chinese dramas tend to have more episodes huh.

Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency 꽃파당: 조선혼담공작소 | First Impression

Already halfway through the drama so I'm not sure if you could call it a first impression post but I'll just quickly write down my thoughts of this drama so far. 

I started on this drama only because of Park Jihoon♥ I don't usually watch dramas that take place in the Joseon era or other historical dramas mostly because I don't like the killing and suspense. 

So far, I quite like this drama and the plot actually seems quite solid. I'm not sure how it'll end but up till this episode I'm on it has been interesting! I mean if I made it to the halfway mark without dropping the drama, then it has a certain level of "interesting". Haha. Although my sisters tend to doubt my drama choices :/ 

It includes a variety of unexpected twists and turns which I hope can be resolved and addressed before the drama ends. At the middle mark, I can't really predict how it'll end so if you're looking for an unpredictable drama to watch then you could check this out! 

Along with the serious plot, there are parts of comic relief... That's where Park Jihoon♥ comes in! I do think they mixed a little of the present day fashion items and turned it into something historical so it's actually quite funny. I must say (totally not biased) but he really portrayed his character well and he's quite a natural actor! I mean you can't expect anything less of a child actor right? :) 

Off to continue this drama now~ Do check it out or if you've already watched it, let me know your thoughts! Take care and stay safe! 

Love the Way You Are 身为个胖子 | Review

While the drama is still fresh in my mind, I shall attempt to complete this review. It's the latest drama that I've watched. It was recommended by my friend and finally decided to check it out. 

So this drama sounded like it had quite a typical storyline which is didn't have high expectations for. It seemed like it would be a cliché typical drama but there were a few points that caught me by surprise. I'd say Chinese dramas are longer and have more episodes but they do cover quite a lot of details. It makes viewers happy and so far no open endings, unlike some K-dramas.

Put Your Head On My Shoulder 致我们暖暖的小时光 | Review

Netflix has been adding quite a few Asian dramas aside from Korean dramas. Recently, I've watched quite a few of new dramas that aren’t K-dramas and found them not too bad. This was one of the first few Chinese dramas that I've watched.

Clips from this drama were actually being shared on social media so that made me want to check it out. It looked cute and quite light-hearted.

Romantic Doctor Kim 2 낭만닥터 김사부 2 | First Impression

Another first impression of drama that’s currently airing. Romantic Dr Kim 2! I’m sure many people are watching this drama too even though it’s not completed. I completed 10 episodes in 2 days so these are my thoughts of the drama so far. 

Cinderella and the Four Knights 신데렐라와 네 명의 기사 | Review

This drama has finally made it to Netflix and I must say, I’ve been enjoying the sudden addition of many Korean dramas on Netflix. Gone are the days where we’d have to wait for episodes to load or for people to upload them in HD.

Crash Landing On You 사랑의 불시착 | First Impression

So I’m writing this as I wait for the latest episode of “Crash Landing on You” to air on Netflix. 

Here are my first impressions of this drama. 

Jukebox #84 Perhaps Love 사랑인가요 ♥︎

I have been in love with this tune since the days of Princess Hours. I've almost forgotten that it existed until this popped up on my YouTube feed one day.

• Perhaps Love 사랑인가요 // Eric Nam & Cheeze // Your OST Vol. 1 • 

I really love how Eric Nam's vocals sounded in this remake and it brought back lots of memories of my younger days where I was crazy about the drama! I think almost anyone, even friends who aren't Korean drama fans, would have watched Princess Hours. It's really one of those dramas. Probably the Descendants of the Sun of those days. Hahaha.

But nonetheless, let's not forget about the original version.

• Perhaps Love 사랑인가요 // Howl & J // Princess Hours OST • 

It was a really good drama! 

Let's just take some time to listen to this song and reminisce about the good old dramas that we don't really get these days. Haha.
