My Roommate is a Gumiho - Full on crushing on the lead pair - Here's Why - Review

-

Hye-ri coveted my heart (in a nice way) in Reply 1988. I was initially very irritated by her Doek-sun character but she grew on me with her silly antics. I loved her dressing sense in that series even though all the boys around her made fun of her. She kind of reminded me of myself in some ways.

When I saw one scene of My RoomMate is a Gumiho in an Instagram Reel, I was literally LOL-ing. Yes, in the first episode when she understands who Shin is. When I watched the entire sequence of events that led to that scene I was literally ROTFLing.

Just when you think, the series/story is going down the usual path, there comes a twist. You can be assured of your laughs, thanks to Hye-ri's presence in the series.

The story might not be new but the way the writer and director have handled it is commendable. It never gets dull anytime as the episodes progress. Unexpected laughs, heart flutters, tears - this is consistent across each episode and I so looked forward to the next one.

Hye-ri won my heart as a girl crush but now it's time for the girl in me to fawn over the male lead. While he keeps a straight face in the initial episodes, the bright smiles just take your heart away every single time after he realises he likes Lee Dam.

You feel the pain of Lee Dam and the gumiho and their happiness, laugh along with them, uff what a satisfying series.

How can we ignore his height and these killer smiles... Just look at that, just look at those pearly whites, sharp chin, I just cannot get over him for some time now.






I have to commend the second and third pairs, the other supporting characters who come together to give us this hearty piece of drama where all our emotions are satisfied. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and so will you. If you're looking for a light watch, do try this!

May I Help You - Heartwarming Kdrama Series - Hyeri Is The Best - Review

-

This series is yet another heartwarming one from Hyeri. I love how she chooses her scripts. I watched it purely for her. Warning - this one covers death, bereavement, and funerals so if you will get triggered pls exercise caution. Hyeri or Dong baek lands a job as a funeral director and discovers that she has a special power - the dead talk to her just before they depart to the other world - she is able to get to know their final wishes and she has to do it, if she doesn't, she keeps getting hurt, involved in small accidents that remind her of her duty. She runs away after she meets the first "spirit", a little boy. But after all those reminders, she comes back to her job only to be shunned by her boyfriend (namchin) and other people around her just because she touches dead bodies and they deem it unlucky. Hyeri continues working in the job inspite of her father forbidding her from doing it. So she moves to a rented place owned by Vincent who runs an errand startup, A Dim...

The Veil - Underrated Action Thriller KDrama - Review

I had finished One dollar lawyer - a feel-good, funny, and warm legal series and was impressed by Namkoong Min's acting. The way he smiled, frowned, laughed, and walked, so like all fangirls, I googled him, and wow. The wonder of wonders, he is a multi-talented personality! 2021's The Veil came up in the search and when I read the reviews I had to watch it. Trigger warning - this series has a lot (I mean a lottt) of blood, violence, and gore, so please use your discretion to watch. The opening scene itself turned my insides so much that I decided to drop the series. Watched a little bit of Little Women again and then came back to this series once again. Every episode in this series has a mind-blowing beginning and closing scenes. When you think, oh god this must be it for Namkoong Min, he just surprises you, my goodness, out of this world experience, you are left with your mouth open - like what just hit me! Every single episode is packed with action, I thought Again My Life ...

Alchemy of Souls S1&S2 - Must Must Watch - Review!

-

Well, one of the best series of 2022 - lots of magic and action. It took me a while, at least till episode 4 of S1 to understand who each of the names corresponded to, what alchemy of souls meant, why someone does it, what or who mages are, and all that jazz. Till the 4th episode, things go slow but once you start understanding things, there's no looking back. Jang Uk played by Lee Jae-wook is fantastic, he is the black sheep in the family and has no powers or skills but with the help of his maid Mu Deok-i, he goes on a quick learner mode and picks up most of the skills that take years to master. He is also lucky in many ways and seems like the stars are aligning to help him out. Loved the chemistry between all the stars, Mu Deok-i played by Jung So-min whom I first saw in Because It Is My First Life, is pretty and smart as ever. The story gets interesting and intriguing with each episode. We get to understand why Jang Uk was not taught anything and why he did not develop any skill...
