ILJIMAE : Review


I definitely agree with the commenters on MyDramaList that said this drama was slow, but I don't think that is the main problem with this drama. I think the problem is, not only was it slow, it was excruciatingly frustrating . At the beginning of episode 8, I thought to myself  "If a person can get through the first 7 episodes if this drama, they can get through ANY drama". Without spoiling anything, I 'll just say that this drama gives you an emotional workout. Like seriously, just be prepared. Secondly, ALOT of stuff that happened in the last 2 episodes should and could have happened like 4 episodes ago. Towards the end of the end of the drama, it seemed like the writers kind of just found themselves in a pool of loose ends and were like, "OH SHIT...WE HAVE TO TIE ALL OF THESE!?". And I was like, "FINALLY! STUFF IS GETTING REVEALED AND RESOLVED!" But even though I was happy, I can't deny the obvious fact that it felt soooooo rushed.
                                                           Some BongJimae eye sweets hehe ;) 

Like, We could have had it AAAAALLL WRITERS!! Iljimae could have been a 10 for real!! Besides the obvious downfalls, I think Iljimae's plans were so elaborate and well though-out! And ya'll know I love me some Junki!! And there was Han Hyo Joo (although I found her character rather bland) and Hot Stuffs Park Shi Hoo as Shi Hoo. Heh. I see what you did there, writers. AND the girl from Vampire Prosecutor!( Her character was annoying at first but she totally grows on you! BONG SOON-AH!!) Anywho, I gave this drama a 7 because even though it frustrated the hell out of  me, it had some real redeemable qualities.

Song Obsession: Hate You by Ladies' Code


Ladies' code is definitely one of those groups that I knew about, but was pushed to the side by me because in my mind I was like "new groups debut like, everyday and most of them don't catch my attention so I'm not even going to bother". But when I heard this song I totally changed my mind. Not only did I love the weird, sinister-ness of the video, I was literally obsessed with the song. It was stuck in my head for DAYSS. And I was not complaining at all.


The MV is kinda dark and weird and I LOVE IT. I never realized I liked this concept in kpop until I watched it.

I will definitely continue to love and support this group as long as they keep  releasing catchy and awesome songs like this.
P.S the blonde one (Sojung) is super pretty and her voice is lovely!!

Nice Guy AKA Innocent Man : Review

One thing I learned from watching this drama is that you can't rely on high ratings too much. because some of the dramas I loved, some people might not like them (i.e  one of my sisters found coffee prince "Boring" while I think its one of the best Korean dramas ever made). Anyway, to be honest I really DID enjoy Nice Guy for the most part. it was intriguing, the characters were 3 dimensional and it is very well written but I think my main issue is the whole amnesia thing and how it came about. I hate to say this, but (but it is what it is) I spent most of the drama ogling Joong Ki Oppa. Like, seriously who can help themselves when it comes to him?  Cuz I sure can't!

 and sometimes he would make a cute expression and I would rewind it over and over again. Ok, I have a problem don't judge me! But I'd hate to think that the MAIN reason why I enjoyed this drama is because Song Joong Ki is beautiful. But now that I think about it, it feels like that's probably why EVERYONE on MydramaList was all "ERRRMAHGERD THIS IS THE BEST DRAMA EVAA" and had me watching it with high-ass expectations.
One thing I loved about the drama is how different the story is. Then again, I don't know if it's different to me because I haven't seen it before, or because it actually hasn't been done before. Either way I was ENTERTAINED and it had me engaged for all 20 episodes.
Obviously I won't say too much (but if you wanna discuss this drama with me, leave a comment!) but I WILL say that there were certain scenes that had me all emotional (i.e a certain scene that occurred in the rain. I'll stop there).
The last thing I want to say is that Moon Chae Won should play a bitchy character in another drama! I totally want her to be the antagonist.
