I'll try really hard not to drop any dramas because I'm not really a fan of quitting something I've already started. The only drama I dropped was Dream High but then a couple months later, I decided to give it another shot and I am soooooo glad I did because it became one of my all-time favorites.
If ya'll got some recommendations just let me know!!

My Arang and the Magistrate Review

Hey guys!
I just realized that I didn't post a single thing in April; School has been thoroughly kicking my ass.
K so I finally finished Arang and the Magistrate and I have to say- Its probably one of the most bizarre Kdramas I've ever seen ( I think its up there with Padam Padam) but I enjoyed it. I think the writers are very smart and they really sold this alternative universe thing.
I've never seen Shin Min Ah in a movie or drama but I had  heard lots about My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox and I've always thought she was super gorgeous and one of the most beautiful K-actresses ever. And its kinda the same with Lee Jun Ki. I've never watched him in anything but I've heard lots about the stuff he's been in.
When I was watching the first few episodes, I thought Yoo Seung Ho ( the Jade King)  looked ridiculous with that long hair but by episode 8, I found myself swooning over him lol. There's just something about him! I can't wait to see him in I Miss You even though I already know he won't get the girl. Still can't wait to see him anyway :)

































What I liked about this drama, is the fact that it was so different. I liked it because that type of stuff is kind of hard to pull off, in my opinion. When I saw how weird and different it was, I thought I wouldn't be able to emotionally connect with characters but I totally did. This drama was ALOT of things in one but I think the writers did a good job of incorporating everything. I don't really want to go into detail about the story because I don't want to spoil anything but If you're going to watch it, just keep your mind open and enjoy the bizarre, strange and interesting world the writers have created.

Brand New Crush 2ND Edition


K so, Kim Woo Bin played Dong Yup the tough, sometimes bully, and  lovable high school student in A Gentleman's Dignity. I'm not really sure why I like him but there is just something about him that makes him  so attractive to me. I think its his eyes and the fact that he plays  the character so well. Every time I see him, 
Eat You Up By BoA starts playing in my head, if you know what I mean.


 But yeah, ummm..  i'm just going to post my favorite pictures of him now, and maybe you guys will see what I mean. 


( Look at what his jacket says lol) 









Gah he wears clothes so well! No wonder he's a male model. 

My A Gentleman's Dignity Review



Hey Guys!

K so,  I FINAAAALLY finished A Gentleman's Dignity after like, 2 months (It usually takes me like 2 weeks to finish a drama)
My  Rating: 6.5/ 10

What I Liked :
1)  The friendship dynamics
2) Min Sook
3) Jung Rok's over-confidence and hilarity
4) Im Meh Ah Ri clothes were sooooo enviable!! I wanted to steal everything she wore.
5) The development in SOME characters
6) The ending was pretty good
7) The shoes thing that the Do Jin/ Yi Soo couple had  (If or when you watch it, you'll get what I mean)
8) The caring/tough love  relationship Yi Soo had with her students
9) Jonghyun from CN Blue :)
10)  The funny scenes

What I Didn't Like :
1) The Yoon/MehAhRi Relationship. I thought they were cute together but MehAhRi was so immature. I liked her character in the first few episodes and I hoped she would learn to be an adult and  control herself sometimes. BUT  her obsession with Yoon was super annoying.( I mean, she was supposed to be 24! How does a 24 year old act like that!? ) She had absolutely NO SELF RESPECT. And it seemed like her insecurities did not allow her to even consider the fact that she might deserve a man who won't  reject her a billion times before accepting his feelings for her. I understand why Yoon didn't want to accept his feeling but at the same time I wanted to slap him and Yell "Yoon you need to allow yourself to be happy and stop worrying about everyone else!"

2) For some reason I kind of found it hard to emotionally  connect to the main character (Yi Soo). Usually when i'm watching a drama its easy for me to fall in love with the main character but this time I really had to force myself to like Yi Soo. I mean, I felt bad for her in some parts but not really at the same time.

I can't really say more without spoiling it but I will say that I loved the friendship between the four men. I also loved seeing how they met and stuff. And you know they will always have each other's backs like when Yoon's wife died. that scene was super heart breaking. I think the friendship was what made the show so appealing and lovable to everyone.

 I actually really want a friendship like that but unfortunately I don't  really have the same friends for long periods  of time because I  move around a lot and its hard to stay in touch with people. Because people move on, make new friends, and forget about you. And suddenly they're strangers and suddenly your whole friendship seemed so ... forgotten, unimportant, irrelevant.  And you can never get that friendship back.


I''ll always manage to be happy and laugh about random stuff and entertain myself though. So I always know I will be fine in the end.
