FUUUN FUUUN!!??

It's always been on my PTW list, and finally watching it made me realize how much I missed old K-dramas🤔
FUUUN FUUUN!!
I think "Jealousy Incarnate" is the first Korean rom-com I've seen with 24 episodes, and I managed to finish it quickly, a first for me! Usually, I lose interest around episode 16 or put the show on hold altogether.
But not this time with this one. It was chaotic in the best possible way, everything had me bursting into laughter because I was simply stunned 🤭Friends sharing the same taste in women, and two ladies working together having identical preferences in everything from clothes to men, which inevitably leads to conflicts over a daughter.

I won't deny that there were moments where boredom crept in, questioning where the story was headed or why certain problems were introduced, so I ended up fast-forwarding through some parts🤷‍♀️Still, I thoroughly enjoyed the drama, and it brought light to those days.

The ending was fantastic; I couldn't have asked for more. The cast was outstanding, from the leads to the supporting actors. I found myself missing some of them, and seeing them in this drama brought me immense joy.

LOVE DA NE❤️❤️

I have many things to tell, but fell blank at the same time.
Tokyo bandwagon was so good. Those family drams when you fell at home, you feel warm and at ease🥰
The plot was great, the deceased Granny narrating every time, made me more close to the story. They are a small family, living in their own cocoon, and each episode, some new problems occur, so they always meddle and try to solve it.

Started this for Kamenashi Kazuya, he was in Gokusen, but got hooked with the lively vibe and the great other actors. Every one played a big role in this drama, everyone was shining in it own way.
Ganato, AO’s father, held a dear place in my heart, he was playing the role of the careless father, but he always knew the small details of his children, always helping in the background.

I loved how he held each time a mini concert, the singer got a beautiful voice and I already have a favorite OST there – Got to search for it latter-.
The ending was pretty much satisfying. Cried, laughed, felt LOVE... A swirl of emotions!!

Will there ever be better days?

I started this movie without knowing anything about it, except for it being the highest-rated one on MDL. Naturally, I was expecting the best, and I wasn’t disappointed. It's one of the best I have ever watched so far.

The movie unfolds as a sad, dark, and consuming story. Chen Nian, a studious student with a mom working a bit too far away, lives alone with debt creditors knocking on her door regularly. Despite her hardships, she has one goal – to enroll in university. But, will they leave her be? No, there had to be a rich troublemaker with some issues, bullying the poor Chen Nian.

Somehow she meet Bei Shan, who becomes her protector. They start going to and from school together, with him always in her shadows, ensuring no one can hurt her. Everything seems fine until the bully decides to push Chen Nian to her limits.

The plot was awesome, and I loved how the main leads hit it off. The living dynamic and their journey towards healing were well portrayed. Every little thing they did together created sweet moments.

The acting was amazing; they expressed their feelings in a way I cannot ignore and portrayed the characters well. Jackson Yee, considering his age that year, was surprisingly mature, displaying wisdom, care, love, and sacrifice.

I'm not over this movie yet and, as always, wished to see more. It was worth the time!

Fast forward ⏩

At first, the story was fine and funny as I got to know the cast. However, around episode 18, it became harder for me to continue, so I put it on hold for a month😬

I decided to pick it up again because I found out Leon Lai was in 'The King’s Avatar,' and I didn't want to see him in both dramas. I ended up fast-forwarding through the remaining episodes🤭

One thing that saddened me was Alen Fang’s death; in my mind, there was no happy ending for him.
(The fact that I watched two of his dramas, and he died in both of them)

The ending was good, with the characters living their happy afterlife, accompanied by Zi Lu and Pei Shan.
Oh and I loved one OST as usual😆

Laughed, Cried, Loved: A Feel-Good Ride Through Love and Loss

The start was solid, with the male lead grappling with the loss of his wife and the female lead, a doctor, facing a trial due to a misdiagnosis.
She needs the male lead to sue the patient's husband for her advantage.
However, he won't cooperate, having experienced the pain of losing a loved one. This already set up a funny situation that got me curious about what would happen next.😁

She tries seduction, then intimidation, and it always ends in a humorous way. Despite knowing he's married and mourning, she persists, going all out, never giving up on seducing him. She keeps pestering him until she obviously falls for him too.

Their personalities and constant bickering were adorable. I couldn't get enough of their dynamic. The story made me smile, laugh, and even shed a tear.
It was genuinely good, and the ending was wonderfully sweet. Loved the overall vibe.

Rurouni kenshin

Heard a lot about these movies, and they've been recommended a ton, so I decided to give them a shot. At first, I was a bit lost because I didn't bother with the synopsis. Turns out, in the current era, Hitokiri Battousai has ditched the assassin life and is now on a journey to help those around him.

In Tokyo, there's a businessman hooked on opium made by a female doctor, Megumi, who wants to take over the world or something. There's this old samurai, "Saito Hajime," working for the police, hell-bent on stopping the businessman and uncovering the copycat killer who's claiming victims in the name of Battousai. So, he seeks out Kenshin, and this dude's past is basically tailing him everywhere, but Kenshin's not interested. He ends up meeting Kaoru, who lets him crash at her dojo.

The plot was solid – Kenshin battling his past, trying not to revert to his Hitokiri ways. I haven't read the manga, so I can't compare, but I think it holds up well. Asked for some good fight scenes, and they delivered big time. It was a blast.

Enjoyed the whole thing, loved Takeru's acting – missed seeing him around. It was cool to see him in a different light.

Roof Confessions

This drama unfolds with the Mikkoto contemplating suicide on the school roof, only to be met with an unexpected confession from her teacher Jin Haiba proposing to date before her perceived demise.
Despite the weirdness I felt at first, the storyline evolves beyond typical teacher-student romance, revealing the complex character of Haiba Jin.
Initially perceived as careless, his actions (Flirting and stalking 🤭) take on new meaning when seen through a different lens, revealing a thoughtful and caring side that adds depth to the storyline.
Mikkoto's character is equally compelling, portraying innocence, kindness, and a strong analytical mind. The dynamic between the two characters is well-crafted, making them a match made in heaven.
Their journey, marked by healing and understanding, adds depth to the storyline.
It was cute seeing them trying to be together, but they knew their limits and waiting for her to graduate.
The ending hit me with some real feels, leaving that bittersweet sadness. I was itching for more after graduation😅
Truly, this review do not do justice to this drama, the screenwriters were really smart about the way to broach very hard subjects, but they still did in a light way, always lifting the mood and adding humor in right places.

A Journey to Love!!

I don't even know why I was so reluctant to start this drama. Like, what was I even thinking?!
This is a masterpiece, and it absolutely deserves its rating. It's my first time watching a drama about trauma cleaners, and it's such a compelling subject.
Dramas that delve into the stories behind deaths and evoke such deep emotions are truly amazing, and that's a fact.

Moreover, having Jun Sang portray an autistic character just made it even better. Watching him bond with his uncle and seeing Je Hoon grow fond of his nephew as they embark on an incredible journey is what I loved the most. I found myself rooting for them every step of the way.

I'm genuinely saddened that I put this gem on hold because of my slump. But I know that without that slump, this is the kind of drama you can't tear your eyes away from or stop watching.
Grab some tissues and brace yourself for a roller-coaster of emotions!!

From 1 to 82 and Still Counting!!!

I discovered "Running Man" for the first time through reels on Instagram, YouTube, etc. I found it very funny, and upon searching on MyDramaList, I learned that it is a variety show that first premiered in 2010. I was amazed to find that it is still airing, currently at episode 740. Determined to catch up, I took it as a challenge and started watching from episode 1 two weeks ago. I've already reached episode 82, and I'm thrilled that there is still more to watch.

Initially, I didn't know all the members, but I quickly became fond of them and now can't complete my day without watching at least two episodes. I love how each episode is filled with challenges, missions, and games, keeping it consistently engaging.

The cast is amazing, with each member bringing their own unique personality, adding flavor to the show. Yoo Jae-suk, also known as Yooruce Willis, our national MC, is both funny and kind, taking care of all the members and guests. I enjoy seeing him interact with everyone, especially his occasional banter with Haroro (HaHa or Ha Dong-hoon), who always brings comic relief at the right moments.
The Easy Brothers, Ji Suk-jin and Lee Kwang-Soo, are always searching for their heroic moments and are essential to the show.
Kim Jong-kook, "The Commander," is impressive with his strength and sharp intellect, often guessing the plot right, I love how each time he comes up on the screen they put the "SPARTAA" sound.
The Monday Couple, Gary and Song Ji-hyo, add a unique dynamic. Gary, the innocent and innocent member, consistently brings kindness to the show. His genuine perplexity and simple-mindedness add a charming element.
As for Song Ji-hyo, the sole female member currently, her beauty, fearlessness, and competitive spirit shine through. She has proven herself in numerous games, earning the well-deserved title of 'The ACE.' I often find myself cheering her on, even in the presence of other female guests😁.

There is, of course, more to say about the show, and I look forward to continuing to watch it. I want to witness their journey, appreciate their chemistry, and enjoy the friendships they've forged. "Running Man" is not just entertaining but also inspiring—an experience I won't forget.❤️❤️
