The Moon that Embraces the Sun Update

I have finally finished The Moon that Embraces the Sun!

Whew, what a rollercoaster of emotion! One minute I was happy and giggly for my otp, next minute I'm worried about Prince Yang Myung, and then I'm getting angry at the monkey politician.

Look at him. He looks like those monkeys with those faces that have hair all along the edges. 

Except I think the monkey is a lot cuter. Just sayin'.

Anyway, I saw Yang Myung start to work together with the Monkey and then my mom and I got worried about his plans to overthrow his brother. But then we saw that he wanted a book of names and we started to think that he was planning on turning the book over. We were right! Ugh, but getting to that revelation had us going along a path of worry and thinking that Yang Myung was a bad person. Then he went and sacrificed himself! I was so shocked at first and then as it started to hit me and I saw Kim Soo Hyun's excellent crying skills, I too started to get teary eyed. I understand why he did it and how it tied in to the story at the beginning of the show, but still...WAE!?!?!

So the first queen went crazy and then committed suicide. I was actually still crying because of Yang Myung and then her scene came on and I remember thinking Eh, sorry honey I didn't like you as the queen, and I stopped crying for that minute where she was on screen. Congrats to the actress for making me really dislike her character.

Then the king punished everyone involved, even his sister. I was a little shocked about that, but it's okay because she gets her own little happy ending in the end. And then our main couple has a cute little boy and everyone is happy, they are in love, and it was a beautiful story.

I really liked the way it ended. Yay for happy endings!

Here are some more cute pictures of some monkeys: 

Bad Guys Make Me Angry

Just as the title says, the bad guys in Blood are making me angry right now!

First off we have the vampire director and he is using our good team of doctors' sense of responsibility to their patients as a way to gain information about the vaccine.

Plus, we have the Assistant Director who is now keeping secrets for the Director and she is willing to do that in order to gain the hospital.

Then we have the evil doctor, who we found out was an evil doctor before he got this job and he has no remorse for his patients and likes to see them in pain.

Now we even have the Chairman who it turns out killed his brother and sister-in-law. Really?!?!?! Writers! Come on! How many bad guys are there going to be in this drama!

Probably the ones I'm the most angry about is the Assistant Director and the Chairman. The other two we already knew they were bad, and their most recent actions only validate that knowledge. But with the Assistant Director, she was a friend to Ri Ta and she also tried to help find out what was happening in Ward 21A. For her to be so easily swayed by a person that she knows is a murderer and is using the hospital for his own gain, it just makes me so annoyed with her.  In regards to the Chairman, I am just shocked. I honestly wasn't expecting it until he started to bring it up with the Assistant Director.

Who Knew Vampires Could Be So Cute?

I finally got to catch up on watching Blood and this main couple is adorable.

I really loved the scene where he is getting his bed ready and she is just standing there in her winter coat and beanie.

And then they are cuddling in bed! And they look so cute together.

When I first saw who the main couple was going to be, I didn't think I was going to like them. Now I love them so much and they make me giggle whenever they have a cute scene.

Sensory Couple Update

I have been really busy and I have been having to postpone my drama marathons. Sad, I know. Thankfully, I was able to set aside some time and watch the current two episodes of Sensory Couple

I really love the bubbly music and the lighthearted feel that it has and Oh Cho Rim's personality is too cute.

After seeing these current episodes , these are my thougths:

1. I called it! Sort of... As I was watching the show, I saw that Dr. Chun had to piece together that Oh Cho Rim was the witness from Jeju and that her name was Choi Eun Seol. I then thought to myself, maybe he isn't the murderer since he still has to figure this out, or he is a stupid murderer.
Then we find out that it is the Chef Kwon. Called it! The thought had run through my mind, but I didn't really dwell on it as I was watching, so I sort of called it.

2. Is our Officer Choi starting to finally like Cho Rim? Yay! He is starting to worry about her and he is buying her gifts and he is trying to tease her a bit. This makes me happy!

3. I am so glad, that I stopped even slightly shipping Cho Rim and Chef Kwon. Whew, dodged a bullet there. Not really, since I know how drama land works and he will be after her once he finds out who she is.

4. So is the library behind those doors that Moongchi kept barking at? Maybe Moo Gak will put the case of the illegal gambling chicken restaurant and the chef's house plan together and realize he has a large room hidden. Hmm... I will have to wait and see.

5. When will the doctor be found? Also, he had that letter and when will that be found. Hurry up and be delivered little letter, that way Moo Gak can find out who the real killer is.

5. I still want to find out what Moo Gak did to make the troupe leader laugh. Writers, all I am asking for is a flashback and Moo Gak acting like an idiot.

That is it. Until the next two episodes!

The Moon that Embraces the Sun Update

So I have been dutifully watching this show and loving it very much. I finally saw the episode where she remembers everything.

Thank goodness! With each episode that passed I was cheering for her to remember her past, and finally it happened. Took you long enough Yeon Woo. Sheesh.

Where I am currently at, is she has been called in by the Queen and she just saw Yeon Woo's face. What I really want to happen is the Queen sees her and flips out and threatens her saying something along the lines of, its too late for you to have the throne etc. Then I want Yeon Woo to be all, NOPE and say that she will get back what is hers. That would be the best.

So we will have to see. I know there are countless people who have seen and already know what is going to happen, but whatever, a girl can dream right?

Currently Watching: The Moon that Embraces the Sun

GAH! I did it again! I have started another drama!

This time it is The Moon that Embraces the Sun and so far so good. I have only just watched the episode with our grown up Crown Prince, or should I say King. So I finally got to see Kim Soo Hyun, and I have to say that I love all of his little eye rolls every time a bad person speaks. It makes me giggle each time.

I only started this one because I was crocheting and wanted to watch something, so I wouldn't sit in silence with my crochet project. So I saw that it was on Netflix and I haven't seen it yet, so it was perfect. As I was watching the first episode, my mom sits down and starts watching it with me. She had only missed the first twenty-ish minutes, so it was easy to explain what was going on.

BOOM!! Just like that we were hooked and we watched three episodes that night.

I really like having someone watch dramas with me. After each episode, we sit there for a minute and rapidly discuss what we think will happen, or if one of us is confused, someone is there to explain, or the next morning we will have all these theories about the plot. I just find it so much fun to have someone to actually talk to.

So even though I already have so many other dramas on my plate, I continue to watch this drama because my mom is willing to actually watch it with me. And because it is good and has an interesting plot. And because of the handsome Kim Soo Hyun. And because of his little eye rolls and smirks.

The Long Awaited Kiss

Blood finally had a kiss!!! Oh my goodness, it took a while.

I have been patiently waiting, and waiting, and waiting. I mean there were some moments that it could have happened and the writers decided to pass up the opportunity. I personally thought thy could have kissed when they were coloring, or after the back hug, but that might just be me.

At least they gave us the back hug scene. That calmed down my need for some romance in this drama, but then I saw the preview and I got all excited, giddy, and ready for the next episode.

I will admit that their kiss/romance was a little bit more realistic, minus the whole vampire virus and him turning into a handsome green-eyed model, because when he first met her, he didn't like her, but he grew to be okay with her. Then he got closer and closer and then he found out Ri Ta was the girl in pink, and that only compelled them to get even closer. So they became friends, shared secrets, had their cute moments (and a hug), realized their feelings, and then kissed.

I personally like it when dramas are like that. Really, I just like that for TV and movies, in general.

So far, I like where this drama is going. Now I just need the Director to stop being a meanie and for our nice team of doctors to go and stop a virus.

First Impressions: Sensory Couple

So far, I really like this drama. There are only four episodes out and I really like them. I'm also slightly angry because I started a currently airing drama and now I have to face the consequences. 

I am a little worried about the upcoming episodes. First off we have the evil doctor, Chun Baek Kyung. Ugh, I really liked him as the older brother in Reply 1997, and here he is playing a bad guy. I have never seen him in any other shows, so I will admit that I am excited to see him play a bad character, but that still doesn't mean I'm not worried about how he will affect our main couple. What is he going to do? 

Also we have the famous chef, Kwon Jae Hee and is he going to be a part of a love triangle? I like him and he seems like a nice guy, but I already ship Choi Moo Gak and Oh Cho Rim. Not sorry. Sorry. 

The female police investigator, Yeom Mi... I can see her liking Choi Moo Gak. For me, that is a big no-no, because like I said I already have a ship. I do feel sorry for her though, since the other detectives don't like her. 

Now for the main couple. Oh Cho Rim... She is cute and bubbly and I just really like her. Also, how and when will she regain her memories? It is bound to happen right? This is dramaland we are talking about here. Also why did her "Dad" take her in and hide her from other detectives? I hope that is explained in a later episode.  I also like Choi Moo Gak and I feel sorry that he lost his sister. Plus, he was all playful and happy and now he isn't. I really hope that he goes back to his adorable ways. I mean, look at him before and after. *sad face*

I also REALLY want to know what Moo Gak did to make the troupe leader laugh. I remember sitting there just thinking "Tell me!" They better have a flashback to that scene or I will be so disappointed. 

So far, so good. I have some great expectations for this drama and I hope that they get fulfilled in every way. 

Currently Watching: Sensory Couple

Well… against my better judgment I have decided to start a new drama, Sensory Couple AKA The Girl Who Sees Smells.

As a general rule, I give a drama two episodes to woo me with its awesomeness. After watching the first episode I was hooked. I wanted to see the second episode so badly, but it was way past my bedtime and if I didn't go to bed, I would have looked a mess come morning.

So, I am totally ready for the happiness and sadness that usually comes with a drama and I cant wait to see what is to come with this new drama. 

Unfinished Business

As I stated in the previous post, I am watching eight dramas. Eight! What is sad is that most of them just have one episode left or maybe a couple left, but I just haven't watched them.  I want to, but there is maybe no desire to finish it, no time to finish, or since I am watching a current drama I put them on hold. If this continues I might just drop them or just find a recap online and read about what happened and not even try to watch the rest of the drama.

The dramas I currently have to finish are Bad Guys, Empress Ki, High School King of Savvy, Jiu, Joseon Gunman, and The King's Face. Blood and Who Are You are also on this list, but I am currently both watching them.

Bad Guys: I only saw the first two episodes, and it was interesting and I wanted to watch them. The only problem was that it wasn't as highly subbed as other dramas were. So I just skipped over it, thinking that I would wait for it to be subbed and watch it. I didn't do that.

Empress Ki: I actually really like this drama and I am on episode 31 of the 51, but finishing 51 episodes is a time commitment. I love the actress and actors, but I had to stop due to school and I just haven't picked it up again. Maybe in the summer when I have more time I will continue with this drama.

High School King of Savvy: I have one episode left. I saw the preview and I've seen screenshots of the drama, and I don't know if I want to see the ending that I think it is. I saw the preview and thought, I don't want that to happen. Maybe I'll just read a recap for this one and move on.

Jiu: I usually only watch Korean dramas, but I made an exception this time with a Japanese drama because I really like one of the actors. Jiu has Kim Myung Soo, better known as L from INFINITE. I am an Inspirit, so I kept seeing their leader Sung Gyu making fun of L and I found out that he was quoting this drama. So I wanted to watch it. I have two episodes left, and I know I'll finish it someday.

Joseon Gunman: I started this when I had a lull in my drama watching. Nothing had come out that I wanted to watch. For some reason I started this drama, but I only got half way. I like the story, but I just need to finish it.

The King's Face: I guess you can see that I like Seo In Guk, since this is my second drama on this list with him. I like saeguks and this one was no exception, but I think there was a holiday that happened so I missed an episode and then I got off schedule and I just never came back. I will finish this too, since I do like Seo In Guk, but I don't know when.

Wow... Typing all this out has made me realize that I just need to finish these dramas. Life just gets in the way, making it hectic and sometimes you have to put other things first. I'll just finish these during the summer when I am able to do what I want.
