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.

Currently Watching: Who Are You

I decided to start a new drama and as it was the weekend, I got to watch eight a couple of episodes of the drama. And even though I am also currently watching, I think seven other dramas, I decided to start a new one.

So I started Who Are You, starring So Yi Hyun, Ok Taecyeon, and Kim Jae Wook.

So quick summary of what has happened so far… please know that spoilers are ahead.

Summary

So, Lee Hyung Joon, a detective, is on a boat and is investigating some bad guys. Then something happens and he is shot and killed by a mysterious person. All of this is seen by Shi Ohn, another detective, who is on the boat for an unknown reason. As she tries to escape she is hit in the head and passes out.

Six years pass and she has been in a coma. Suddenly, she wakes up and gets questioned about the crime and is told to go to therapy. While there she tells the doctors that she is seeing ghosts. The doctor then asks if she is seeing them now and she says no, but then one of the other doctors in the room gets up and walks towards the window. She sees that he has a major head wound and then he falls out the window. One of the doctors was a ghost!

Shi Ohn now works in the Lost and Found Center with her new coworker Gun Woo and while doing inventory she comes across other ghosts. She solves their cases and Gun Woo is now suspicious as to how she knew everything. She confesses to him and he doesn’t believe her. She gains his trust when she finally see his father’s ghost and asks him things only Gun Woo and his father would know.  

Now she sees the ghost of Hyung Joon, the guy on the boat, and she realizes that something is wrong about that case. As she tries to piece the case together, a mysterious man keeps trying to hurt her or prevent her from finding out the truth. Each time this happens, Gun Woo helps her and saves her and is worried about her.

Currently their office has the weekend off and so Gun Woo went with Shi Ohn to the movies. And he was awkwardly adorable as he realized he likes her, so he tries putting his arm around her with the yawn-and-stretch trick, but fails in any attempt. After dropping her off at her home, he sees her phone in his car and goes back to give it to her. He teases her, saying his spiel he usually does when someone comes into the Lost and Found Center to get an item. When he doesn’t give it back they play a little tug-of-war game with the phone and he accidentally pulls her towards him. She lets go, peeved and he continues his spiel asking for her ID saying how he can’t give it back for free. Jokingly she then says maybe he wants a kiss as payment. He ends up giving it to her and turns to leave. He stops and has a determined look on his face and then walks back and kisses her. She is shocked, needless to say and then he leans in again for another kiss.

Comments/Concerns 

Woo hoo! The last paragraph is in more detail since I just watched it last night so it is fresh in my mind. But that kiss! I fangirled in front of my computer because I was so shocked and happy. I also liked watching him not like her at first, then slowly warm up to her and like her. And how he was acting at the movies was adorable.

I am worried about Shi Ohn and Hyung Joon, since it is known that they were a couple in the past, but she can’t remember it, but she knows that they somehow knew each other. What I am also worried about is Gun Woo’s mentor. He seems to be hiding evidence and telling lies and if he is a bad guy, Gun Woo will be crushed. What I am curious about is the reason for their case on the boat and why everyone has hid it from Shi Ohn. Also, like I mentioned, Gun Woo’s mentor is lying and it seem he is lying about Hyung Joon, who he was, and what he did. This man is going to disappoint me. I can feel it.

I don’t know if it was smart or idiotic of me to start a new drama when I already have so many on my plate, but my mission is already a go, so there is no stopping me.
