ASIAN KOREAN DRAMA *THREAD 21*

[drag0nfly]

Nasa The Best Hit/Hit The Top din si Cha Eun Woo.  Sya yung kups na artist, si MJ.

On Episode 11 of Thirty But Seventeen.  Medyo a bit dragging na for me.  Sana ma-reveal na soon.

Started Chicago Typewriter.  For some reason, nababanas ako sa mukha ni Yoo Ah In.  But love me some Go Kyung Pyo!

Dropped:
My ID is Gangnam Beauty

Currently watching:
Mr. Sunshine
Sobrang feast for the eyes, especially if you appreciate good cinematography without the need of aerial/drone shots. Same director with DOTS and Goblin, but same composition ang scenes like Scarlet Heart. Story-wise, it's not boring as the scenes are captivating. Cant focus so much on the story line, maybe after a rewatch.

because i miss Ji Chang Wook so much, im watching Whirlwind Girl 2, this is a Chinese series, about youth martial arts and dubbed ang voice nya, pero oh my oh my, ang gwapo gwapo nya talaga 😍

Completed:
Life on Mars - okay ang acting ni Jung Kung Ho. Sabi sa reviews, okay yung ending. Pero fan ako ng happy ending. So kinda unhappy ako sa ending nito, though open-ended sya.

Revolutionary Love - di ako fan ni Choi Si-Won tapos di ko type yung character nya. Super naive pero warm. Si Kang Sora naman, parang misplaced justice naman for me or ma-pride yung character nya. Overall okay naman yung drama, di ko lang type characters. hehe.

Currently watching: Voice 2 (I loved Voice Season 1, so looking forward ako sa Season 2)

[gelaest]

I just finished watching Fated to Love You and it made me a Jang Hyuk fan. I first saw him in Voice, recognized his acting there and I was surprised that he can do comedic characters brilliantly as well. He basically owned the character of the eccentric yet deep Lee Gun (even his maniacal laugh grew on me), and has set a standard for a chaebol character for me. He was the lead din pala in Windstruck, he looks so different there. Now, he's super DILF. Lels. Jang Nara nailed the timid Mi-Young also, she changed towards the end of the series and yet retained the kind and loving traits of Mi-Young.

As for the drama, I don't know why, but I really fell in love with it despite its soap opera-ish plot. From their mishap in Macau, to their eventual falling and longing for each other, I laughed, cried, and rooted for the main couple. And daming feels.

The secondary characters where lovable, too, the secretary, grandma, mom, Dragon, even the "hamo hamo" duo.

The OST gave me chills and feels rin. I saved them already in my Spotify playlist.

EDIT: How can I forget the kissing scenes? Lels. FATED shows how kdramas should do kissing scenes. Parang gusto ko rin halikan si Jang Hyuk. You can feel the passion, love, desire with each kiss. Somewhat spoiler: I especially liked the kissing scene when Mi-Young realizes that she won't want to leave Gun eventually, and Gun affirmed his feelings toward Mi-Young. And the press conference kissing scene, you can feel the 3-year longing in that kiss. Hindi yung usual na humahalik sa bato.

Eto super luma na pero I just finished Scarlet Heart Ryeo at hanggang ngayon may hangover pa ako hehe.  Lagi itong nasa list ko ng TBW (to be watched) pero recently ko lang pinanood talaga.  Cryola ako talaga almost every ep after 8. Hehe.  Heartbreaking lang yung finale but what can we do...sa youtube na lang ako nagtitingin ng mga fanmade endings hehe.

Currently watching, 100 Days My Prince. Cute ito and sana panay tawa lang ako.  Medyo weird lang na parang same locations sila ng Scarlet Heart. Haha.  Anyway, this seems to be a "fusion sageuk" sabi sa mga blogs, not sure what that means though.  Kilig si DO and Nam Ji Hyun kahit in real life mukha silang mag-ate. Haha.

Voice 2 -- Mas gusto ko yung Voice 1. Pero ang maganda here, open-ended sya and there's a next season.

Thirty but Seventeen -- cuteness overload. Cute, funny, with a touch of drama. Sobrang like ko yung characters, tapos lovable maski flaws nila. And I'm a sucker for happy endings, so I was ecstatic na maganda din yung ending.

Next in Line: Familiar Wife

[kachich]

Done watching Mr. Sunshine. Love it. Prepare tissues. Dami ko iniyak grabe, same level ng Scarlet Heart or even better. Will rewatch kasi I want a different perspective and halos ang focus ko was the cinematography.

[mayda_m5c]

Korean movies pinapanood ko this past few days.
- What a Man Wants - pinanood ko because of Song Ji-hyo  Ok naman, comedy siya pero R-19. Hehe kaloka!
- The Beauty Inside - 2015 film pa, pero ok siya. Imagine, everyday iba iba katauhan mo. Nakakalungkot lang na hindi ka maaalala ng mga tao.
- The Accidental Detective - favorite ko talaga mga detective movie/drama! Astig ito, ang cute ni Kwon Sang Woo.  May part 2 ito, pero di ko pa mahanap. Haha

[brokus]

started watching the new kdramas The Third Charm and Terius Behind Me (So Ji Sub), so far they are both interesting

[mayda_m5c]

Started watching Lovely Horribly. Kakaiba yung story. Ang cute ni Eul Soon at Philip 

[kachich]

@mayda_m5c pinanood ko din yang Beauty Inside -- ang lalim lang hahaha

Na appreciate ko yan kasi (just copied this from a reviewer):

1. The question of identity. Does our appearance correlate with who we are? Does my appearance influence / interfere with who I am? Just because I look different today, does that make me a different person than who I was yesterday?

2. Can we accept someone for who they are, regardless of what they look like on the outside? Would we be able to love our significant others and loved ones the same, if they looked like completely different people?

[brokus]

Currently watching all these new kdramas so has something to look forward everyday:

1) The Third Charm - light and funny
2) The Terius Behind Me - So Ji Sub, thriller and funny at the same time, I like spy stories in general
3) 100 days my Prince - never a fan of these actors but the story is entertaining enough for Mon-Tues
4) The Beauty Inside - this is the TV series, which is surprisingly very good
5) Where The Stars Land - I dont know if there is fantasy related to this, but first for me to watch series shot in airport, so the cinematography is what keeps me engaged, plus having closer look at how things work inside the airport, Chae Soo Bin is pretty here

I am planning to start watching also The Smile Has Left Your Eyes since I am a Seo In Guk fan. Bagal lang viki to upload subs.  I have annual subscription to both Dramafever and Viki kaya catching up real time on these new dramas. Cannot do long marathons anymore since it ruins my sleep lol

[crzysxycl]

Soobrang ganda ng lovely horribly. Kakaiba ang story, na hook ako nung matyempuhan ko EP1 sa KBS world. Ito lang ayaw ko sa ongoing eh, nakakabitin haha. Todo antay ako pag may new EP with subtitle. Kaso ngayon na tapos na, namimiss ko si Philip at Eul Soon. Nalungkot talaga ko ng matapos na.. Pero atleast happy ending naman. Sana may part 2 (as if haha), kasi namimiss ko talaga sila. Dahil sa kanila, planning na ko to go to KR next year hahaha, as if naman makikita ko sila.

Currently watching yung bago ni my love   So Ji Sub, Terius Behind Me. Ganda rin ng story, cute cute ni SJS!

[_shayness_]

currently watching:

1. Terius behind me - basically because of So Ji Sub. Gwapo nia baby sitter ah! 
2. Heart Surgeon - I'm not sure but medical dramas of Koread got me always. Di ko knows mga actors but the story is good. Dame nga lang flashback pero connected lahat sa story.
3. The Smile Has Left your eyes - Syempre first reason ko si Seo In Guk.  Mas nainlove ako sa kanya dito. That lips though.. pero maganda din yung story.
Dame to look forward each week.

^ I watched Angel Eyes and nagandahan ako sa kanya. That's when my love (and obsession lol) for Lee Sang-yoon has started.

Melodrama, nakakaiyak (though mababaw luha ko) but medyo dragging towards the end. All in all naenjoy ko pa rin sya. Ganda ng chemistry between the two leads for me. 😊

I know it's a 2014 series pa but now ko lang siya natapos. hahaha! may question lang ako. never ba nalaman ni Soo Wan na si Jin Woo yung driver at nanay niya yung pumatay sa mother ni Dong Joo? =/

[gelaest]

^ Sis old series din mga napapanood ko. Eto nga sa Fated to Love You naman ako na-obsess, I still watch my fave scenes. Haha. Jang Hyuk is just so adorable and hot, he raised the bar for chaebol roles.

Re Angel Eyes, I forgot na if hindi nalaman ni Soo Wan re sa accident. Medyo matagal ko na siya napanood eh.

[ieiky]

Just finished My ID is Gangnam Beauty. Sobrang gwapo ni Cha Eun Woo. Kahit hndi maganda 'yung Actress, na-love ko siya because if this Drama. Feel good lang. Lakas maka girl power, maganda 'yung story for me.

[Shadow Angel]

Just done watching Cheo yong season 1 and 2. Will try to watch vampire prosecutor.

[ataypool]

have to watch Fated To Love You. First series ni Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara, Success of A Bright Girl (or its many translations) was the first Korean drama I watched that got me hooked for two years in the early 2000s.

Hintayin ko na lang matapos ang 100 Days Prince just to see Kyungsoo (D.O.) so I can binge watch. Ayaw ko naghihintay sa series.
