Drama Catch up

A little late on this post again, School is sucking all my drama watching time away from me. Okay, I will do my best not to give too many spoilers, but because I love talking about things, I make no promises.

So . . . Man from the stars. I Already talked about this, so this will just be my final thoughts now that its over.

           

I loved this drama, I was so glad that they stayed true to the characters, they used his alien powers until the end (which I give a mental high-five to the writers on that one, its rare to find a drama that keeps up with the use of the powers as well as this drama did.)  I appreciated that they never over looked the fact that he was an alien, and had abilities that could out due humans,  total win! Everything that happened in this drama made sense with the plot, and it was so heartbreakingly intense towards the end.
I was also really impressed that I didn't feel like zooming past anything when I was watching, that is how I knew it was a good drama.
Basically, all I should have to say to promote how fantastic this drama is, can be summed up in three syllables Kim. Soo. Hyun.

And his acting is out of this world! But truthfully all of the actors were brilliant, this is a high quality show, I could just go on and on. But I don't have the time!
 The villain in this drama, so evil, I loved to hate him!!!! I think the best part about him was that he was he was both believably innocent when he was faking his innocence in the murders and murder attempts. His evil face when he was plotting was so . . . just pure evil! I loved it!

This drama gets a 100,000 out of 10.

I break this scale all the time it seems. But it really is that good.


Next is a Drama that Literally took me a year to finish.

Greatest Love,

     

Here is the deal with this show, there isn't anything wrong with it, its a good story, and a great cast. But for some odd reason, that I really can't explain, I had such a hard time wanting to watch it. I would be interested for like two episodes, then I would have to go to something else, and I would just forget about it. And maybe a month or two later I would remember and watch a few more episodes.

Katie and mom hate that it took me so long. This is there favorite drama, so the fact that I didn't finish it in a week confused them. But it just didn't keep my interest, even though its a great story!!!

I'm sorry! But I have to be honest. I think the issue was with the writers and directors to be honest, they just didn't give it enough of an edge, or maybe because I just felt like the story was too hard to believe, but I'm still not impressed by it.
I have a feeling Katie going to hate this post.

I would however recommend the drama, because I think the issue was with me, give it a try and let me know if you have the same issue. Katie really loves this story.  

It gets an 8 out of 10.

Next is an equally hard to watch drama

Deja-Vu.

   

This is a Taiwanese drama about a Ballerina's worst nightmare, where he boyfriend dies, she loses her baby and so she tries to kill herself, but some wizard dude gives her a second chance to relive her life from the point that she met her boyfriend. Which would be great if she wasn't forbidden from dating him, and had to give up her ability to dance in order for this to happen.

 So Basically she has to be miserable for the rest of her life, so he can live. I Liked it for the first three episodes, but just like greatest love, I just lose interest and I honestly have skipped four episodes to find one that sounded a bit more interesting.

Honestly, its all the "my life is so hard! Everyone hates me! Everyone thinks I'm evil!" sad scenes that really bother me. I know that Taiwanese dramas like to drag that stuff out, but maybe its because I really wish she would stop letting people walk all over her for the sake of a reality she hates anyway. I just felt like her once winning personalty was so weak, come on! fight back!! Or better yet, talk faster!!!! Because she would pause for a LONG time when being accused, that is really when things got sticky for her.

I don't know, this drama is just really hard for me to watch. I will not give it a rating until I finish it. But I can hint that its not going to be a very high rating.


Now for the best drama that was ever thought up and cast!!!!

Bride of the Century!!!!

       

Lee Hong Ki never looked so good!!! (That's a lie, he always looks good) I am really surprised by this drama, when I watched the promotions, I thought it was going to be a low quality drama with an over exaggerated storyline and corny love scenes. Man was I wrong!!! This is turning out to be a really good drama, I haven't disagreed with anything that has happened. So far, when I think I have predicted what was going to happen, and was anticipating being disappointed, I have been completely wrong!

This drama has a very unique storyline, which to me is the biggest selling point (once again I lie, he is my ultimate bias after all) the use of the curse and the ghost as the big issue, and then the added issue of who will die, and how will Kang-ju accept Doo-Rim when he finds out who she is. oooOOOOoooo!!! intrique!!!!

On a side note, Hong Ki's acting has improved so much in the past year, I am having fun watching him act all high-and-mighty on Bride of the Century, then wake up every morning to him doing something ridiculous on instagram. He is doing so well, my baby is all grown up!!!

I really think this role will be beneficial for him and all of FTIsland, maybe they will be treated like adults and be allowed to do more rock songs. Crossing my fingers!!! 

That is all for this drama catch up. Let me know what you are watching. I love finding new dramas, also I am looking for some good Japanese dramas, let me know if you have one in mind.

Drama catch up

Okay,

I really wanted to find time to review in video the dramas that I have been falling in love with, but with school that hasn't happened.

Come summer I should have more time to do this in video form.

Okay, I am super late on some of these, my apologies.

So if you have already seen them, you can leave a comment and we can talk about them!


Starting with what I am currently watching

                                                             Man from the stars

This is the best drama I have watched in a while. And not just because Kim Soo Hyun is in it, but that does help, he is an amazing actor, this drama will make you love him if you don't already.( I will brainwash you if I have to, you need to love him!)

 This is the best storyline, not a single episode has been disappointing, I am truly impressed with the characters and the surprises they give in each episode. I love the use of the alien powers and the fact that have not gotten rid of them or failed to use them when, in that type of situation, he would utilize them like a boss!! yeah, I love it!!!! so far they have not don't anything that I disagree with or found to be pointless, I love this drama.

It's too early to give this drama a rating, but I honestly want to carry a tv around with me everywhere I go to show everyone the awesomeness of this drama. IT. IS. AWESOME. I can't say enough about how good this drama is. 

                                                               Next up The Heirs.

I don't think I need to promote this drama too much, because this was the most popular drama of 2013. Everybody knows this drama.

I'm just going to give my basic thoughts on it.

The Heirs storyline had a good base, all the characters, including the smallest side character, were well developed and entertaining. There was nothing wrong with this drama. .  . you hear the but coming don't you?

I felt like there was too much hype for this drama for the actual reward of the episodes. It was actually just kinda average. I liked it, but it just was an okay drama, nothing special.

Okay, there were a few special things. I liked that Kim Tan was so nice, that was a pleasant change in love interests. I liked how the story didn't turn out conveniently. But I don't think that I would watch it again. 

so 7 out of 10

Now pretty man

This drama had no point, at ALL!!!! I have no idea why I continued to watch it.  it went going on and on about something I didn't care about and I got so bored.  I was majorly disappointed that Jang Geun Suk did this drama. Plus there was no progress with the two main leads until the last four episodes . . . seriously, this drama!!! So frustrating, the storyline really isn't even worth talking about. Watch it if you are bored, but don't expect a lot. 

4 out of 10

Next is I Miss You

So sad . . . So so so so sad!!! I loved it though, I was addicted to this show, I couldn't get enough of it!!!  But I also love JYJ, so Pretty much anything the one of the members in I am in love with. Everyone should love JYJ, if you don't do research, you soon will. I promote them so much they should pay me for it.  Geez!!

This is a drama that you have to be in the mood for major drama, ironic I know, but seriously someone is sobbing in every episode, sometimes multiple people are sobbing. At first I didn't mind it, but after awhile I was like

So that got old, but the rest of the drama was so awesome. It ends beautifully by the way, I loved the ending of this drama. So I give it a 10 out of 10.

Next is one of my new favorite dramas 

Nice Guy

This drama sucks on so many levels, and when I say suck I mean rock your socks addicting with the dramatics and hatred of the characters that you actually love so much you could squeeze their guts out. WARNING, it is the least happy drama you can find. It is so depressing, and basically nothing good happens the entire drama. But at the same time its evilness makes you want more. The love story will emotionally stab you and shred your soul to pieces, but its so beautiful!!!!

I loved it, but I was also screaming at the TV throughout the entire drama. 

this gets a 11 out of 10.

But be warned, it will kill you.  

Next The Master's Sun:

I didn't think I was going to like this, mostly because horror films are not my stick, but this actually wasn't too bad. I only held Lydnsie's hand through the first three episodes, and after that I felt like the ghost's got progressively less intensely scary. But the story maintained this intense creepiness that kept me interested. Every episodes ghost story had me hooked.

The love story was so cute, I loved Seo Ji Sub's acting in this, he played the perfect disinterested boss, but with this adorable twist to his attitude, I never found myself hating him when he was mean, because the way he did it was just so comical.  his  "Get lost!" is now a running joke in our Fangirl apartment, while we were watching this, we were looking forward to when he would feel fed up and say "Get lost!" I truly enjoyed him in all his moods.

This was a drama of hot hot hot hot men, it also had Seo Un Guk as the loser nice guy, can I get a raise of hands of who else just loves that man? That alone makes this drama worth a watch.

I never had a problem with Taeyang either, well, personality wise, her fashion sense is another story. Her clinging to the master was actually cute and comical, mostly due to his reaction to her, but truthfully they played off each other well.
 The ending kinda deflated the story for me, and I wanted to flip a table when the ghost seeing guy showed up at the last few episodes. Where was he all this time?!!?!?!

This drama is a 9 out of 10 on the drama scale, due to the great story, but a saggy ending.


That's it for now, I have watched a lot of dramas in my free time, so if you want me to review one for you so you don't waste your time on one, nothing is sadder than a boring drama, I am happy to help.

Wow, it's been a while.

Now that I am back from Korea, Katie and I have been talking about what we plan to do with our videos.

I love doing DDW, it's been fun working hard on them and finding jokes in the dramas that we all could enjoy. However it's a one woman job, and not in a good way. I am close to being completely burned out. I cannot physically keep up the long process of DDW, therefore I have a proposal for y'all!

Most of you know of VivaLaKpop's NDK-News, if there is an interest in learning about good drama's that are worth your time ( or ones that aren't) I am willing to do a spot on dramas in our line up. Or,  a short heads up video that can do about the same outside of NDK-News. And now a pause for Hongki!

 . . .I felt like this post needed more sexy, sorry, moving on,

you can vote for what you prefer, however I will have the final say on what happens, the voting is just to see how everyone else feels about the options.

I still have two DDW's that I filmed before Korea, I will be putting those up in their normal fashion as soon as I can. and I will have a poll for Drama's I have seen for you to vote on for whatever is in the future.

I do not own this photos or memes. If you know you made them let me know, I would enjoy ruling the world with them. 

Drama Update,

So I was going to post that I had started "Answer me 1997" but I finished it in one night . . . \(*o*) /
So that unfortunately will not be on the list until the next DDW which means you will have to wait to vote on and then for me to review for a while. sorry.
