Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016)

Photo source: https://www.dramafever.com/news/first-trailer-released-for-upcoming-drama-scarlet-heart-ryeo/

I first caught wind about this drama from an instagram post by IU. I'm pretty sure she was posing with Lee Joon-Gi and after looking through comments I saw they were going to be in a drama together. (Or maybe it was Joon-Gi with IU...anyway). I was excited because Joon-Gi was putting out another drama! I was pretty hooked on The Scholar who Walks the Night and have seen other previous works of the 2 mains. When I looked up the story I was overflowing with excitement! Cute IU with a cast of gorgeous men oh ma lawd! Goon-Ji being a main one! Set in the the Goryeo Dynasty! Yesssssssssss

21st Century woman Go Ha-Jin (IU) is transported back to the Goryeo Dynasty during a solar eclipse. When she wakes up, she is Hae Soo, beloved cousin of the 8th Prince's wife and currently residing with them. Go Ha-Jin only knows of her past life but decides to become Hae Soo in order to survive. Her modern day personality catches the attention of the princes, thus beginning friendships, romances and a lot of political drama. 

I finished this drama in 4 days. If I didn't have work...it probably would have been done in 2 or 3 days. I had this drama on my to watch list since that instagram post but many things came up so I only just got around to watching it now. I was hooked from the first episode! Oh my goodness! The costumes and hairstyle, the plot, the MEN! You know I love Splash Splash Love which has many similar themes so I knew I would like this drama too. I haven't watched a cliche drama in a while so I think maybe my tolerance was built up against that. There are definitely cliche things and so so many typical kdrama tropes in there but I didn't mind. This drama was beautiful and entertaining. The politics were a bit meh but they didn't take up too much time. I definitely recommend seeing this one if you like period dramas or if you like seeing romances based on a deep longing. Be warned that this drama is definitely a tragic one and if you have a soul you will cry. Just listen to the OST and you get a good feeling for what the episodes will be like. 

SPOILERS BELOW!!

First episode they basically jump right into Hae Soo (yep i'm using her Goryeo name the whole time) being transported to Goryeo. When she comes to, she is in the palace bathhouse and has just seen all the princes mid-bath sesh. All topless! All of them! Muscles on display! Wow 20 minutes into the drama I knew this was a good sign. Her main/closest friend Chae-Ryung takes her back home (the 8th Prince - Wook's house). Where she finds out who's body she seems to have taken over. From here we see Hae Soo adjust to the Goryeo lifestyle. At the same time we see her and Prince Wook develop feelings for each other, despite him being married to Hae Soo's beloved cousin. This goes on for about half the drama, and in the meantime Hae Soo also becomes close with a few of the other princes. 

In the later half of the drama Hae Soo begins a relationship with Prince So (Joon-Gi), who has been after her heart for a long time. I don't want to put too much plot in here...if you've seen it you'll understand what i'm talking about in the review.

So first of all, I loved seeing all the princes together. Each had their own personality and characteristics that made the scenes really entertaining. The Crown Prince: Mu was really kind and full of love for his brothers. The 3rd Prince: Yo was an angry asshole but I found his asshole face very pleasing to the eye. Hell I even liked the endless collection of chunky earrings he wore. The 4th Prince: So who was always scary and moody but soft towards Hae Soo and Baek Ah. 8th Prince: Wook who is very kind hearted and would do anything for Hae Soo (well almost) and his family. 9th Prince: Won who always just followed Yo. He didn't really have much personality other than being a slimy weasel :/ pretty forgettable character. 10th Prince: Eun who was like the child of the bunch. Always joking around and bringing a smile to Hae Soo's face. 13th Prince: Baek Ah (Nam Joo-Hyuk of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo) he was the artsy one and also very understanding towards people's emotions and actions. He was also so freaking beautiful to look at. Then 14th Prince: Jung who was the idiot of the bunch but he had a heart of gold. I've spent 20 hours with these men I feel so close to them haha I need a life. 

Hae Soo's character I really really REALLY loved in the first half of the drama. She always showed her emotions and would do what she wanted when she wanted. It was great to see a confident female protagonist who created strong friendships and would always do what she could to help a friend in need. I didn't much care for her opening her eyes as wide as she could in basically every scene but I assume that's what she was directed to do. In the second half of the drama...after the first time skip when she's the head of the Damiwon she is still a good person, the same as before, but she is always tame and acts as she should. I suppose a few years in the Palace did that to her but it wasn't as entertaining. Still I cried like a little bitch when she died. Not so much because of her death but because of her letter to So. 

Prince So I guess I had a bias towards his character because he was played by Joon-Gi. I hated that mask he wore in the first few episodes. That made him look way uglier than just the scar. And seriously even with that scar he was still 1000000 times hotter than the villagers (sorry). When they saw him and threw mud they were probably like "I hate this guy cuz he has a scar but he is damn fine." If I didn't have a bias for the actor I don't think I would have cared for Prince So that much. He was moody and that was fine, the typical asshole who gets the girl. But I suppose between him and Prince Wook I was on Wook's side. Prince So went from threatening to kill Hae Soo all the time to "you are my person, you belong to me." Even though he was totally just a friend and Hae Soo was in love with Wook at the time. I get that he saves her life and stands up for her and stuff which I suppose is the reason she fell in love with him...but I don't know I guess a lot of romance happened in that 2 year time skip and I just didn't see the love between them like I did with her and Wook. 

Wook was great, I really liked his relationship with Hae Soo and just felt so bad for this guy. He just got screwed over. He was so close to having a happy ending and then his bitch sister comes and ruins everything. It was unfortunate he didn't cherish his first wife, but i'm glad that his first wife saw the love between Wook and Hae Soo and wanted them to be happy together. I know that Wook didn't come through when he needed to while Hae Soo was being tortured (and even when she was about to marry the King but he attempted to stop that at least). But it was either save Hae Soo or see his family get slaughtered for attempting to kill the Crown Prince. So he was in a tough position. It was just really heartbreaking to see him in that situation when you know he was such a good guy. I'm glad he met a wife and had a daughter later on.

Now for the tragic parts. It was sad when Eun and his wife were killed but at least Prince So did it as a mercy killing. Also I wish Eun cherished his wife...or showed it in the few years they were married rather than treat her with disdain ALL THE TIME. I thought he was cute and playful but every time I saw him with Hae Soo I felt bad for him since it was a one sided love.

When Woo-Hee (Seohyun) killed herself I felt so bad for Baek Ah. Even though he had the title of a playboy he only had 2 great loves in his life and they both died. Baek Ah was also such a good guy and he deserved happiness. 

I was a bit sad when the Crown Prince died because he was actually a good guy and not corrupt in any way. If the other princes (So and Wook) didn't go after the crown they could have lived a good life with Hae Soo. She probably wouldn't have developed those awful heart palpitations and they could live a long life peacefully. Wook and So wanted the power of the crown so they could protect Hae Soo but ultimately that just pushed her away from each of them. Even when she asks So just to live with her peacefully but he says he wants the crown to protect his brothers...*massive sigh*

When Hae Soo died and Jung says "remember me in your next life," and she says "I will forget everything." I was like wtf. Jung has been nothing but loving toward you even though he knows you only had eyes for So the whole freaking time, and then you say that shit to him? You're about to die can't you say something nice? This is literally the only time you were a bitch in the drama and you were such a bitch in that scene. Wow could not believe that.

Oh maaaaaan when Jung and So have that whole miscommunication on Hae Soo's letters oh man that was so tragic. I wish So wasn't such a stubborn ass and he would just read those letters I mean....he didn't throw them away. And I didn't get why having Hae Soo's handwriting so close to So's was a bad thing? What would have happened? Also I don't think I cared so much about Hae Soo leaving So in the first place because after he became King he just like...exiled his brothers, had her bestie brutally murdered and was just a dick a lot of the time. I am happy that he treated his Queen like crap (Prince Wook's sister) because she screwed over Wook and Hae Soo multiple times so it was good to see her unloved (haha i'm terrible).

Im glad we see Hae Soo return to her original life, even though she is super depressed after remembering her Goryeo life. I believe she meets a reincarnated So in this lifetime that she can be happy with. That's how I can make peace with the ending and move on happily. So there were tragic moments but I wasn't as heartbroken as I had been expecting when I started the drama. 

So yes to conclude. I loved the story line. I loved the actors and their characters (well mostly). The drama was definitely a tragic one in the main scheme of things with how everyone lived through massive heartache but there were plenty of good and light moments as well. The costumes and settings were lovely to look at. I will probably re-watch those first episodes just because they were so good (and not tragic yet). 

8 out of 10 stars.

Goblin (2016)

Photo source: http://www.allkpop.com/article/2016/11/new-drama-goblin-drops-posters-filled-with-bromance-and-romantic-chemistry

Goblin. Saw the hype but didn't feel any real interest to watch it. I have loved Gong Yoo since Coffee Prince and have found him to be one of the best actors I've seen (based off a few of his other works as well). I've also seen Kim Go-Eun in Chinatown and thought she was amazing in that. I think my main deterrent was the age gap between the leads. The fact that she plays a high schooler while Gong Yoo is (I think in his 40's as his character age). Anyway of course a bunch of friends recommended this one to me so I gave it a go after much convincing.

Kim Shin (Gong) was a human cursed to be an immortal goblin until he found his bride. In the present day he lives with an amnesiac grim reaper (Lee Dong-Wook). One day Kim Shin meets Ji Eun-Tak (Kim), who has the ability to see ghosts and is destined to be his bride that will end his immortality.  

So, the first episode I was confused. The next few episodes I was annoyed...and then after that I started to enjoy it. It's hard to give this show a rating or an overall opinion. It was a good show and really well made but I think I found it a little boring. It does have normally excellent reviews so up to you if you want to see it.

SPOILER ALERT BELOW!!

Alright down to business. So basically the first episode I was just like WTF IS HAPPENING AND WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE!? Was that lady in white his lover? Why did everyone get slaughtered? Why was he banished to be a goblin? Okay guys, I am going to rant so much and tear this show apart. Even though I overall didn't mind the show...I think.

Okay so first of all he walks up to the King, watches everybody he cares about get slaughtered and THEN stops and is like "okay you can kill me now" wtf Kim Shin wtf? I think the reason you were cursed to be an immortal goblin is because you're an IDIOT! So the first episode is basically all in the Goryeo period and everything was confusing. All the women looked the same so I couldn't keep up with who was the Eun-Tak's mother. Also! Why did they put massive old lady make-up on Samshin (Lee El) I mean couldn't they have hired an actual old lady to play her during the old lady bits? She looked freakier than the evil ghosts that turned up.

Now on to our female protagonist. Okay I know she had a hard life...super sucky but omg she was soooooooooooo annoying in the first few episodes. Every time she was with family or at school she was all hateful and angsty (which was fine, that made sense). But as soon as she met the goblin, and all the times after she would not SHUT UP. It was like she needed to fill literally every second with dialogue when she was with Kim Shin. Also, he turned up when she blew out the candle. Has she not blown out a flame in that entire 10 years or something since her mother died? Also, was she not the goblin's bride since birth therefore during her 9th birthday when she blew out candles shouldn't the goblin have turned up?

Finally hope came to me in the form of the grim reaper and Sunny. I loved all the scenes with these two and found the grim reaper so incredibly cute. He was just so awful at dating but so pure! It was around these times where I would skip to their scenes because I could not stand Eun-Tak.

Eventually Eun-Tak becomes bearable and I started watching the episodes in their entirety. I found the relationship between the goblin and Eun-Tak a bit bland. I didn't really see any romantic chemisty between them. I felt more chemistry between the few scenes Eun-Tak had with her childhood friend. I still don't understand how their feelings developed. Kim Shin went from trying to avoid Eun-Tak to falling in love with her? Why? How? I still don't know! Can someone PLEASE explain to me how they fell in love? Gong Yoo just kept putting on constipated faces when he was her then cracked a baby smile when she wasn't looking at him.

Also, I get that Kim Shin was cursed with immortality so he could see everyone he loves die. But why did he have goblin powers? Didn't those powers just make his life way more awesome? It doesn't really seem like a punishment.

I don't get why Sunny and the grim reaper couldn't be together when they remembered their Goryeo past. I mean you guys loved each other back then so why can't you just get together now anyway? And why the hell did Sunny not age a day when she died at like...age 60 or something?

I don't think this is a very good review. Mostly just a rant. The last 4 episodes I thoroughly enjoyed because shit finally started happening. Also I had to re-watch that passionate kiss scene between Eun-Tak and Kim Shin oh ma lord that man can kiss! I also think I liked these later episodes because Eun-Tak was 29 so it didn't seem creepy anymore. (Yes I know the actress is in her 20's irl but that's not the point).

I don't get why when the sword was pulled out Kim Shin just got banished to a snowy field for 10 years. Wasn't he meant to die forever? Didn't Eun-Tak blow out any flames in those 10 years? Did you see how many freaking candles she had? THAT IS A PLOT HOLE. Also Kim Shin comes back and is still immortal. Soooooo Eun-Tak will die again and reincarnate another 2 times. Spend all those with Kim Shin and he's just going to wait around for all that...live through her death 4 times and then he's just going to chill single and alone for the rest of eternity? Wasn't his curse lifted once the sword was pulled out? Wut?

Also when Kim Shin comes back and he's like "as long as you are well I am happy." Mate, did you not hear her when she said she has severe mood swings? Did you not see her wolfing down pills to control her emotions? She isn't well.

The way the show ended was good through, wrapping up the relationships and showing happy endings for everyone. But still there are many questions left unanswered and many plot holes made for the sake of the drama achieving what they wanted. I'm not going to let those slide. Also, I feel that the episodes would not have been 1.5 hrs long if they didn't have so many god damn slow mo's and camera angles. Every time something "full of tension" happened we got it in slow mo AND in 50 different angles. Did anyone else notice that? I get they want to build tension but seriously it was so overdone and they did it every episode! Multiple times! If I got a dollar every time that happened I would probably have $50 or something.

So yes, in conclusion, it was a visually stunning drama haha I know I didn't mention that but yeah it really was. I wish they travelled somewhere other than Canada though. "Oh look I have a magic portal to anywhere....hmm let's go to Canada 4 times for steak." Pretty sure Australia is known for the best beef right? Unless you get some legit Japanese wagyu. I have never heard anyone rave about Canadian beef. Okay back to the conclusion. I wouldn't watch this drama again, and the only memories I'll have of it are the illogical plot points and my annoyance toward the female lead. The only good memories will be the visual locations and that 10/10 kiss in episode...12? maybe 14. Anyway that was marvelous.

I give it...6 out of 10 stars. It's not as bad as I make it sound but it did take me a long time to get through it because I wasn't very enthusiastic. I gave it a good chance when I started episode 1 and they tore me down. You shouldn't have to make a comeback halfway through the drama to make it good.

Let me know your thoughts! (I'll probably be torn apart haha)

Until next time my drama queens and kings,

Oh My Ghost (2015)

Photo source: http://asianwiki.com/Oh_My_Ghost

I found this drama after looking up Kwak Si-Yang, whom I fell in love with in Perseverance Goo Hae Ra. The plot looked promising and I was a fan of the two female leads from past dramas. When I went to look up some info about this drama before starting it I found out it was written by the same people who made Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo! You know how much I love that drama. Oh My Ghost also stars Kang Ki-Young, Bok Joo's uncle in the show. 

Oh My Ghost is about timid Na Bong-Sun (Park Bo-Young). She works in the kitchen of arrogant star-chef Kang Sun-Woo (Cho Jung-Seok), who constantly reprimands Bong-Sun for making mistakes in the kitchen. Bong-Sun has the ability to see ghosts, passed down to her form her shaman grandmother. She is possessed by lustful virgin ghost Shin Soon-Ae (Kim Seul-Gi). Soon-Ae believes she needs to lose her virginity to "resolve her grudge" and move on to the afterlife. When Bong-Sun suddenly becomes a confident and charismatic woman Sun-Woo starts to notice her. 

This was a good drama. Every character including the supporting ones have depth. Park did an amazing job acting out both timid and charismatic versions of Bong-Sun. Sun-Woo was lovable even if he was arrogant. The way he would word compliments about himself just cracked me up. Soon-Ae was a really lively character and many times over the top so you can see the extreme difference between her personality and Bong-Sun. The four kitchen staff at Sun restaurant (the main setting for the drama) are hilarious and have a wonderful group dynamic. 

The first few episodes I'll admit I found Soon-Ae rather annoying. She was incredibly rude and over the top with things. She didn't give a damn about who she had possessed and just caused trouble. Towards the middle the Soon-Ae and Bong-Sun started to become closer in personality. Bong-Sun became more confident and it was really good to see. Sun-Woo was such a good guy taking care of his erratic employee and accepting her "personality disorder." 

Oh My Ghost isn't all about comedy and romance though. It was unexpected but there's actually a very sinister plot throughout the episodes as well. So I would say definitely give this drama a shot, even if you find timid Bong-Sun or eccentric Shin-Ae annoying at the start you'll start loving them pretty soon. 

SPOILER ALERT BELOW!!

Alright let's get to business. While watching Oh My Ghost I felt so bad for Bong-Sun because she was possessed and Soon-Ae stayed inside for about two weeks. While possessed Bong-Sun has no idea what's been happening. I wasn't sure how the series would play out. Obviously Bong-Sun (either normal or possessed) would end up with Sun-Woo but Shin-Ae wouldn't be able to stay forever and Bong-Sun has had a crush on Sun-Woo since before she started working for him. Also, I was rooting for the real Bong-Sun. I was really happy to see her become more confident.

When we started seeing the police brother-in-law being sinister I was like OOOOOOO shit is going doooooown. But I wasn't too sure what was going to happen. I knew that he must have something to do with his own wife's hit and run accident that made her unable to walk again. For the first half of the series I thought that maybe Shin-Ae was in a coma and kept secretly somewhere by the brother-in-law. Then at the end of the series they would find her, her spirit return to her body and Bong-Sun tell Sun-Woo that he was actually in love with Shin-Ae. But then she had been "dead" for 2 years already and that's a long time to keep someone around. So I faced the truth that she probably was dead. 

I'm glad that Shin-Ae stopped possessing Bong-Sun around episode 9 so that gave ample time for Sun-Woo to actually know he was in love with the real Bong-Sun. It was pretty sad to see Sun-Woo bringing up memories that he spent with possessed Bong-Sun and her just sitting there like "okay the guy I like actually likes a ghost. Cool." So I'm glad she came clean about it all to Sun-Woo and he was able to see that he had in fact had feelings for the real Bong-Sun, even though it took possessed Bong-Sun for him to realise. 

I found Heo Min-Soo (Kang) really annoying. He was so full of shit and forced his company and ideas on the other kitchen staff. But, in saying that there are times when he was hilarious and overall you're glad he was included in the show. It wouldn't have been nearly as hilarious without him. My favourite scene is when he drunkenly plays a stalk. 

Seo Joon (Kwak) was such a sweetie. I loved how he didn't take Min-Soo's crap and how he would say the perfect thing at the perfect times. I think at the start of the show he was probably going to become a love rival to Sun-Woo but maybe the writers changed their minds later on. It was probably for the best. There was enough drama without that plot happening.

For the sinister part. I liked it, it made the show interesting. Also I liked how sinister they made the bad guy. Possessed by an evil spirit and had no hesitations about brutally killing people. It was great. The actor was really good with his expressions from being this lovely sweet man and instantly turning to a killer face. 

The way this show wrapped up all loose ends and had everything explained was perfect. In the last episode I didn't feel sad for anybody. I feel that everyone was given a good ending.

I'm going to give a shout out to Shin-Ae's brother who beat Sun-Woo to his senses and then quietly says "be happy" as Sun-Woo runs to reconcile with Bong-Sun. Man that made me laugh! 

8 out of 10 stars. 

I found a few characters annoying but other than that everything in the show was really well done and really fun to watch. 

Let me know your thoughts!

Until next time my drama queens and kings,

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (2016)

Photo source: https://www.viki.com/tv/32634c-weightlifting-fairy-kim-bok-joo

Growing up I've always had a soft spot for sport themes. I had just finished watching season 3 of Haikyuu (a volleyball anime) which had me crying like a little bitch during most of the episodes. I find stories that revolve around sport to be very moving and motivating. You get to see the struggle of the players and understand how much success means to them. I stumbled upon Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (WFKBJ) while searching for sport tagged dramas/movies. I remember I was tossing up between this drama and a volleyball one at the time. I can't remember my motivation for choosing this one though, I think it was due to the comments.

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo centers around Bok Joo (Lee Sung-Kyoung), a girl who has dreamed of becoming a professional weightlifter since her elementary school days. Now she attends a sports university and specializes in weightlifting. Here she has a few bad run-ins with the very handsome swimming star Jung Joon-Hyung (Nam Joo-Hyuk). These bad run-ins become the start of a very beautiful friendship. 

I'm going to put my rating here before the spoilers so that people who have not seen this show can go and see it. I give this drama 10 out of 10 stars. Hands down my favourite drama I have ever watched. I don't really think I could come up with any flaws. I loved the show, it is so heartwarming and every episode leaves you with a smile.

SPOILER ALERT BELOW!!

I don't know where to begin pouring out my love for this show. Do I start with the themes? Do I start with the acting? The characters? Please please PLEASE watch this show! I don't know if you've noticed it but I am all for non-cliche story lines. WFKBJ might have maybe one or two thrown in there but I suppose without it it couldn't be classified a 'drama.'

At the start we have Bok Joo who is a woman that knows what she wants and works hard to achieve it. She's great as a person because she is so caring toward her friends and can act like a complete idiot and not give a damn about what people think (well actually she kinda does but more in a "how dare you insult me" way rather than a "you're words have hurt my insecurities" way). Bok Joo acts like a real goof, she stuffs her face all the time and she walks like a hobbling man. I also love how she didn't need to undergo some 'beauty' makeover to get the guy/felt that she needed a makeover in the first place. I find this so realistic. In life if you like someone then you will probably change things up like wear cute accessories or something but nothing to the extremes that you see in other shows. (I do love a good makeover scene though). 

Joon Hyung is such an amazing guy. He's like the perfect man. It's great to see how much he supports Bok Joo and how he never acts in the typical chaebol mean fashion. Oh my god a guy who's nice actually finds love in a kdrama? WHAT! Anyway he's such a sweetheart. The first half of the show is just about Bok Joo and Joon Hyung's friendship and it's lovely because they honestly only view each other as friends. No hidden agendas or anything. They are so comfortable around each other. 

Later when Joon Hyung realises he actually likes Bok Joo it was such a good scene. Then he has to try and woo Bok Joo! I like how she didn't just say yes to him straight away because of his looks or anything. The feelings have to be there first. Once these two get togther they are the most adorable couple. Wow I honestly got cavities watching them and I loved every scene! I re-watched every scene! I told my friends about the scenes! 

The supporting characters are all amazing as well. Hell even the antagonist ex-girlfriend I liked. You pity her for the first half and then you're like, yeah she's cool I'd chill with her. Bok Joo's 2 besites are so cute. When the 3 of them go out to eat or hang out in the dorm and how they say 'swag' as their catchphrase is so cute. 

The communication between the lead characters was fantastic. They had a few misunderstandings here and there but it was nothing that spanned over a few episodes. If Bok Joo was pissed she would tell Joon Hyung. When Joon Hyung liked Bok Joo he told her quickly. When Bok Joo liked Joon Hyung she just came out and said it. Joon Hyung openly cries in front of Bok Joo and nobody is uncomfortable or embarrassed. Bok Joo cries multiple times in front of Joon Hyung even when they're just friends and he just supports her. 

The kisses! Yes thank you! These two kissed convincingly. They gave each other cute pecks on the cheek or lips here and there. When they went to smooch they SMOOCHED! It was so realistic! The kisses were fulfilling. I hope all dramas start doing this now. Oh my goodness it was so wonderful to NOT see any crying kisses, dramatic open eye kisses, 1 person is asleep kisses. Wow so nice.  

As a sports drama to be honest this was nothing like what I had expected. It was definitely a rom/com in a sports university setting but you didn't really see them struggle towards their sports goals the way you would in Attack No.1 (Japanese drama) or something. 

I'll just give a mention to this, I know that Joon Hyung being abandoned by his mother was the reason he couldn't swim well in competitions and I suppose they tried to make that a big theme...but when she came back he forgave her instantly without kicking up a fuss. When he found out why she came back he was angry for 2 days maybe? Which meant about 20minutes in drama episode time. Then he just sends her off at the airport and is fine again. Also Bok Joo understanding his mother's feelings. Hell no! She abandoned him in Korea to get remarried. Then only comes back like 10 years later to ask the family for money to save her new child. Like...lady... Okay that was more than a mention haha but I'm happy it only went on for 20 minutes. That was the biggest drama that happened in the show and it was messing with the good vibes! 

Sung-Kyoung plays her part perfectly. She always puts on amazing expressions and does so well at making you laugh! Or feel her pain. Joo-Hyuk is also an amazing actor and his little facial expressions or hand gestures made Joo Hyung the person he was. It's the small things that create a complete character and really gets you to connect with them. Also the two leads are so good together. So natural and comfortable. 

Okay so in conclusion watch this show. It is amazing. Seeing the leads together as friends first is wonderful and then seeing them develop into a couple just makes you feel complete. These two characters belong together and are perfect for each other. They never try to change each other because they are completely in love. I think I particularly loved this show because there were so many relatable parts and made me remember past crushes and relationships.

10 out of 10 stars! Have you watched it yet? Talk to me about it in the comments!

Until next time my drama queens and kings,

Sarah

(How can I watch another drama now? Will anything compare to my love for Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo? I've been tainted!)
