Queen In Hyun's Man Review


Kim Boong Do is the reason why women have unrealistic expectations of men. Like he is  ridiculously perfect. Handsome, charming, INTELLIGENT, funny e.t.c
he reminds of Kim Soo Hyun in My Love From Another Star.The two of them had some similarities for sure.

-I guess guys from the past are the same as guys from other planets. either way both of them can get it!

- this drama really appealed to my romantic side. I wasn't ready for all them kiss scenes. I know i'm single but damn! way to remind me!


- the chemistry between the two is impeccable (also i know that they started dating after the drama ended. I even remember when the story broke. I posted a comment online about how cute it was that he publicly confessed his love for her and my comment got like 300 likes. no joke. I wasn't expecting that.
- Hee Jin was in the hospital so many times in the drama like wtf. Lots of strange things were happening  and all, but it felt like she was in the hospital every 3 episodes.
- she was also in the rain alot. I felt like she was going to catch pneumonia for sure.
- the relationship in this was really authentic. we didn't have like one kiss scene in the last episode and they weren't boring with the man doing all the work and the woman just  being stiff as a wooden board. Instead there was equal participation and lots of kiss scenes which makes the couple look more realistic too me.

- I like that Hee jin was the person to initiate the relationship. She didn't chase after him but at the same time she didn't act like an 11 year old so that was good. Also in addition to being hot, effortlessly charming and intelligent, Boong Do was also very intuitive and a really fast learner. So it didn't take him forever to realize that she liked him. So basically he wasn't a babo so that was really good.

- Her manager was super annoying! she was meddling in Hee jin's life waaay too much. Like you are not her mother, dammit! And even if she was her mother, Hee jin is a grown ass woman that means she can make grown ass decisions about her own grown ass life. And I understand that she's her manager so she's trying to protect and preserve her career but if Hee Jin says "No, let me handle this. I got this". She should respect that and back off!
- Overall, the drama was very very sweet and heartwarming! It was light and refreshing but it also had some serious times.

Hottest Men of Mixed/Asian Ancestry Part 2

Heey! When I was making part 1 I never thought I was going to make a part 2 but I am! I made one! Also, I think I mentioned this in part 1 but I'm putting the spotlight on mixed Asian guys because I'm always fawning over Korean men but I don't exclusively find JUST Korean men attractive. To be honest, I find all types of people attractive. Paranormal Attractivity occurs in many, many individuals.

Anyway, Like I said last time, this is in no particular order.


Cary Fukunaga 




(Japanese and Swedish)
Whether he has long hair and a beard or is clean shaven with short hair, he is still beautiful to me. I am so in love with him lol. He's an award winning director btw. I love my hipster jesus.

Mario Maurer 



(German and Chinese)
GAH. What a cutie.

Hideo Muraoka 


(Japanese and Brazilian) 
There are too many good pictures of him like seriously. Its exhausting trying to pick. 
here's a bonus:

Hideo carrying our first born child lol. 


Booboo Stewart



 (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Native American, Russian and Scottish)
That last picture got me like


Last but CERTAINLY NOT least, we have:

Will Demps
 

   


 (African-American, Puerto Rican and Korean)
I would melt if I saw him in real life.

Free At Laaaast!!!

Guess what guys!?
Exams are over!! My summer vacay  officially started on the 19th!



I cannot believe it because I literally remember my first day of school when I was the scared new girl and I had absolutely had no idea what to expect. I just knew that I had to mentally prepare myself and try my best not to have a panic attack on my first day of school. speaking of my first day of school when I say I remember everything, I mean EVERYTHING; like it was yesterday. that's why its so crazy to me that its finally over. no more waking up at 7 am, no more having to deal with those basic ass bitches from monday to friday, no more almost losing my mind when people are in my way in the hallway, no more fighting sleep in class, no more being nervous to talk in front of the class, no more listening to annoying teachers talk for 75 minutes, no more memorizing useless shit for quizzes and tests... for 2 months.

I don't even know how to plan out my summer. like I have so many movies dramas and tv shows to watch and I don't know how i'm going to organize it. I really want to make the most of my time because I know summer goes fast and I don't want to look back and be like "what did do with my time?".So I really need to make the most of every minute of every day.

But either way i'm free i'm free from school for the next 2 months!!

Chuno Review


This drama is jam-packed with lots of well-choreographed fights, heartbreaking scenes, flawless acting (can you say awesome cast!? everyone brought their a-game). Hilarious moments, great quotes and just like, everything nice.
Tae ha is like captain america and dae gil is like heath ledger's Joker. Not in relation to the storyline of the movie just personality-wise (or better yet, the way they displayed themselves because there's a difference).





 Tae ha's life got destroyed and he got beaten to the ground but he still manages to have a heart and basically be the perfect gentleman.
Dae gil is a twisted and unapologetically ruthless slave catcher who has a pretty bleak outlook on life.

 I would say he lives in the grey area (he does bad things yes, but he also does really good things as well). but in comparison to Tae ha he would be the "bad guy" and the anti-hero which is interesting because he's the main character and most writers wouldn't take that risk of making their protagonist more of an antagonists.I know that usually the second male lead is usually the goodie goodie and the male lead is usually the "bad boy" but he then goes on his redemption path like midway through.This isn't the case for Dae Gil.

 He has done some pretty bad things and said some pretty mean things. so to some people (people who view good and bad as black and white) he can be considered a bad person because of that. its not exactly easy to root for a bad person.
 I on the other hand, loved him because I have a soft spot for broken, anti-heroic characters. Also Jang Hyuk's  face and body is a blessing and his acting is STELLAR. He really embodied this character through and through. I can't believe he's the same guy from Windstruck.



Gah I  felt sorry for both Tae ha and Daegil. Both of them were so hopeful and normal and HAPPY before their lives  were tragically changed by forces (and people) they had no control over. Specifically Dae Gil. He was just a kid when his parents died and he lived a pretty sheltered life before.
Underneath his fury and overall asshole-ness he really has a huge hopeful and loving heart. but because he had  to find a way to survive on his own, he had no choice but to toughen up and he became twisted and bitter because of it.
He basically had to create this "Dae Gil" image to survive. the big bad wolf, the monster, every slave's worst nightmare. without it, he wouldn't have anything.

Tae ha is the sweet honorable former General who is a bit  territorial and has an a superiority complex(not necessarily a bad thing because he can back it up). He's a  man's man and he is definitely someone you would like to have in your corner because he's smart but a great fighter. Basically don't attempt to fight with him cuz he may be nice but he got mad skills and you will lose.

The love square was interesting because it was not cliche but I think the real compelling stuff is the relationship between Tae ha and Dae gil and how it starts in the first few episodes and the point it gets to in the last episode. (you know I love me some bromance!!!). 

I definitely enjoyed all the female characters. (even the bitchy Gisaengs). I really felt for Sulhwa. Something about the character was relatable and I don't even know what it is. 

Our lead woman UnNyun/Hye Won could've easily been super boring but I found her likable towards the end  because she had a silent power to her. She may seem meek and damsel-y but when it came down to it, she was able to think fast. She was also really understanding and wise without being snooty about it. Great character. 

When Park Ki Woong first appeared I was happy to see him but his character was basically the Ramsay Snow of the drama. lol
