Slice Of Life - KDrama Addict

 Business proposal Very popular series this year. Classic kdrama trope but made hilarious thanks to the lead characters. The second lead pair is also cute, especially the 2ML. The 1ML looks like a junior version of Park Seo-joon tbh, and his kdrama obsessed grandpa is hilarious too. S2 is coming thanks to how much it appealed to the public. School 2017 One of the very cute Kdramas I've watched. Unlike other series which had high school romance, this one was neat. Yes there are the usual elements of rivalry, frenemies, rich boy, poor girl, but still it was engaging and entertaining. Give it a watch if you want to see Business Proposal lead during her younger days, loved her in both.  Reply 1988 This series deserves a separate blog but since I did not note down the finer points I am writing a very short review here. It was boring at first, 3 episodes later, you are thoroughly enjoying each and every aspect of the series. Took me back to my childhood tbh. Hye-ri, I loved her thro...

The series starts off on a very engaging note. I think this was LJG's comeback Kdrama series after he went on a break for a few years. As with all LJG series, this one keeps you hooked. Racy, filled with action, this legal drama will keep you entertained all through.  I am biased toward Lee Joon gi but with each drama of his that I watch, I am growing in awe of his skills. He literally owns each role he plays, whether it is Baek Hee-sung / Do Hyun-soo from Flower of Evil or the Magistrate Kim Eun-ho from Arang & the Magistrate, or Wang-so from Moon Lovers or the effeminate Gong-gil from King and the Clown, he ensures each character stands out differently in our minds and shapes the characters so well with his touch. I can go on and on about his action skills - is there someone who specifically choreographs stunts for LJG?  Who would have even imagined such a stunt scene? I was stunned and excited at the same time. Things are well-paced till episode 5, in ep 6 she finds out...

Good job series starts well but soon loses steam. Hero has athletic abilities and is a chaebol, while the heroine has super-vision. Add to this mix a tech-savvy lawyer and his interest who has a good presence of mind.  What starts as a search for il woo's mother's killers somehow loses track of the original high-paced start. They could have tightened the script a little and avoided the romance part too. Why can't two ppl just be partners/friends on a mission, why does everyone have to fall in love, ugh!  Il-woo's acting is the usual that he delivers - the best. His smile and style do stand out, and as his fan, I am biased. The comedy is good, slapstick most of the time but it kind of keeps the story afloat at times. The chemistry between il woo and the lawyer friend is good entertainment. The second pair love story takes up airtime which I thought was unnecessary.  They claim to be good at disguise but what they wear or who they pretend to be doesn't really show, th...

Arang and the magistrate is an underrated Kdrama that literally no one recommends. My LJG marathon continues with this series. Shin Min-ah who plays Arang the ghost, makes for a lovely pair for Eun ho, the magistrate played by LJG.  The story is pretty fast-paced and hilarious for the most part while also keeping you hooked till the end and as the episode ends you're left wanting more. LJG in a comedy/action/romance role makes watching this series worthwhile. I noticed that the old man who plays Lord Choi is one actor I like. The son of Lord Choi turns out to be the "My Shy Boss" lead and also the Jade emperor is so cute. Oh, what a lovely cast. I am floored.  The son of Lord Choi wears robes that every Indian woman will be jealous of ... I love the colour combinations and the patterns he gets to wear, in fact, we Indian women, especially from the Southern part of the country have sarees in those combinations 😁 From the 6th episode or so, the story starts to drag a bit. ...

 Continued from Part 2 , you can read Part 1 here too.  Because This Is My First Life She's so cute, ain't she? I wanted to write a full blog for this but restricting myself here. Cute storyline, a man and a woman get into a contract wedding to suit their conveniences - one for a cheaper accommodation and the other to shut up his parents. It is a different take, especially that of youngsters' thoughts about marriage, commitment, parental pressure, societal values, etc. How they become friends and open up to each other forms the rest of the story. The story also traces two other couples' lives in parallel with the main leads. OST is super nice, there is this fat cat that is an integral part of the story. Overall, lovely watch. I was floored by the actors - Jung So-min and Lee Min Ki. Must-watch! Thirty-nine Story of 3 best friends who are single and how they find their better halves while also discovering one of them has a stage 4 terminal illness, all this as they near...
