Rather than writing about the dramas I’m seriously committing to, I’m previewing episodes of everything ever basically. You might also call this wanton “LET’S TRY THIS” foolishness. I still have a grip of dramas from last season to finish, but eh.

five things
Five little things I’ve been digging lately!
SHINee, “Dream Girl”
(more…)
Talk about a cute and dreamy music video! I like everything about their concept. Nice hair? Check. Fun choreo? If getting fancy with the mic stand counts, check. Suits on suits on suits? Check, check, check!

Scent of a Woman (Episode 11)
This show gives me so many feelings! Yeon Jae threw Ji Wook’s heart into a blender, and Ji Wook’s immaturity makes me want to flip tables. * WHY MUST THINGS BE SO DIFFICULT.

Mawang (fin.)
I, um, ugly cried my way through the Mawang ending. It looked even worse than Oh Seung Ha’s ugly crying. I was literally clutching my pillow to my face for dear life and hiccuping for the last ~10 minutes of the drama. The ending itself was… ideal. It didn’t end the way I personally wanted it to, but it was for the best. I guess. Despite the fact that I feel my heart got stomped from here to Seoul.
The only problem is that I thought Mawang was so good for a Korean drama. So good that I’m afraid to watch any others because I don’t want to be let down, ahah. They are also far too long for my tastes — twenty episodes? That’s a show, a sequel, and an SP for any Japanese series…
I think I’m going to cheer myself up by watching The Naked Kitchen. You can never have too much Joo Ji Hoon!

HIDE & SEEK
I have finally started watching Mawang and while I’m only
sixeight episodes in (this would be half a series in Japan, but I’ve barely scratched the surface here) and I’m actually surprised that it’s good so far? What universe am I in?! Boys Before Flowers was so horrendous that I thought I’d never watch another Korean drama again.… and that is what I typed a couple nights ago. Then, I watched a couple more episodes. It got better.
But last night I had a dream about it and that basically solidified the fact that I REALLY REALLY LIKE MAWANG. And not just because Joo Ji Hoon is fine as haaaaaaaale and he was the centerpiece of my dream … …
I feel like the production values of Japanese dramas are slightly better than Korean dramas. I just finished watching Utsukushii Rinjin last night (which I will get to in another post) and the cinematography was gorgeous. Mawang on the other hand… is Atashinichi Danshin quality. Which is alright. And you know there’s a problem when you see the breaths of the actors when they’re inside a building, hahaha!
Lastly, I don’t know how I feel about Kang Oh Soo. What he did was pretty awful and I guess whoever this ~mystery villain isn’t going about this the right way, but dammit if Oh Seung Ha isn’t attractive/CREEPY. Those long stares. So awkward! And Joo Ji Hoon’s acting is kind of stiff, I don’t know if it was always like this since it’s been a while since I watched Antique.
Also: “I don’t warn twice.” AWWW SHIT

it’s march!
And that means–
- I will be spending a lot of money on music. I’ve been buying a lot of songs from the iTunes store lately. BLAH!
- Time to marathon some dramas! I’ve made it my mission to watch ROOKIES no matter what. And maybe I’ll like Sato Takeru more, because he’s really not doing anything for me in Mei-chan no Shitsuji and I think his role as the “third wheel” is really unfortunate. I never root for the third wheel (ex. Jihoo, Rui, Nakatsu)!
- My favorite season is nearly here.
