Reply 1997 Review

I finished Reply 1997 last week, I must confess it took me less than 9 days to finish this Korean drama. I am not proud to admit that I have been spending most of my free time after work watching Korean drama, but hey, I won't have time during the school year to watch anything so I might as well enjoy it while I can.
 
(Possible spoilers ahead)

I loved Reply 1997 - it didn't follow the typical Korean drama recipe - the main guy isn't a rich snob who hates everyone and then falls in love with the poor girl. I have to say that this drama is probably one of my favorite Korean dramas so far, because it is unique, and all the characters had so much development through the show, and were relatable to me. The show felt like it could have been an actual real-life story.

It made me laugh so hard, sometimes I wondered what my roommate thinks of me - ah well, she's knows I'm weird just from the fact that I watch Korean drama. While there were times the show frustrated the heck out of me, it had a very satisfying ending, and a good rap up for all of the lives of the different characters in the story. I fell in love with the side characters, ( the dad was probably my favorite, he's hilarious) and the 90's heavy atmosphere of the show. All of those old phones, haha.

Its an awesome show about growing up and discovering what it means to be yourself, while maturing and learning about love. It's also a show about how important friendships are, and what it means to be a good friend. In short, I loved this show so much, and recommend it to everyone.

I Jump (Willingly) Back Into the Black Hole of K-Drama

Life is pretty regulated with my time working at the library, I like following a specific schedule but sometimes it can be a bit tedious. I had originally planned to relearn Algebra this summer, but I am finding that my brain is too dead after work and dinner to be able to handle that. Thus, I've started using my evenings very productively: watching K-dramas. Oh well. Sorry not sorry.

I had stopped watching Korean dramas because my school life was too busy, but I got Dramafever premium when they were offering a 50% discount and now I'm hooked again. I've loved these dramas since the day I discovered them; they are shorter than other TV shows, tend to have better plots, and usually have fantastic music. It's gotten to the point where I no longer feel like watching American movies or TV shows. I try, but I always end up on DramaFever anyway. Oh well. I'll stick to K-dramas until Season 9 of Doctor Who and Season 4 of Sherlock come out.

I'm currently watching Your Beautiful, (I'm on episode 9), and I love it for making me laugh. I was expecting it to be pretty much the same as To the Beautiful You, but was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't. I'm excited to finish the series. (I probably will this week) I actually am finding myself cheering for the secondary guy character, which is unusual. (I'm pretty sure she ends up with Taekyang, but a girl can dream)

Anyway, yup, I have once more succumbed to the world of Korean drama, and I refuse to be ashamed.

That smile though...

Of To The Beautiful You

So tonight I started watching a K-drama called To The Beautiful You and so far am thoroughly enjoying it as well as laughing my head off every 30 seconds.



Basically lovestruck girl Gu Jae Hee starts attending an all boys school to be with a super star athlete that is going through trouble after an injury. Clearly drama follows. I expected this show to be pretty predictable, but was surprised when they made the lead guy character (the athlete) figure out Jae Hee was a girl in the 4th episode. I figured they would tag it along alot longer. (After Merlin I kind of expect this kind of treatment)

Anyway, I'm really enjoying it, and am looking forward to what the rest of the story holds.

Also was super excited to see Exo-K perform Mama in episode 2...made my night.

The Catalogue of Happy Endings

Hi guys,
So I launched the Catalogue of Happy Endings! Unfortunately since I cannot afford a domain it will be powered by Blogger like a blog.

I'm looking for people to add entries, so if you are interested, please let me know! It will take me a while to get a lot of content on here myself.

On Asian Dramas

Recently I have started watching Asian dramas on DramaFever because it is a website who offers the ability to watch shows and movies free and legally. You can pay for a subscription to buy HD streaming and get rid of ads, but you really don't need that because when you watch, you gain "premium credits", that enable you to watch an episode without ads. 

Since I withdrew from music theory on Wednesday (that's a whole other story), I had a lot more free time to get things done, like wash my sheets, organize my shelves, code, and of course, watch Korean dramas. So I watched My Tutor Friend 2. You can watch it for free legally if you click on the link. No viruses, really.

I like to search for lists of movies and dramas that end well. I plan on starting a separate website/blog that will start cataloging movies/tv shows that have good endings. I figure I'm probably not the only person looking for stuff to watch that doesn't end depressingly. 

But anyway, asian dramas are great, I love them, everyone should watch them, blah blah. I'm weird, but you know that already.
