Slice Of Life - KDrama Addict

  Warning - there may be spoilers While I know it might not be right to compare two Kdramas that were being telecast almost alongside, I cannot help but do that. After all the hype about My Liberation Notes, I started watching that series and yes, I binged.  I follow a few Kdrama influencer handles and one such is  Noona's Noonchi . Being a mental health expert she shared a lot of videos about this series and I kept waiting every episode for something to happen. But it was all very bland. I tried very hard to connect but couldn't. I still cannot wrap my head around the hype. Anyone out there who share my thoughts?  Nevertheless, I jumped on to Our Blues as I saw the ensemble cast and the imagery reminded me of Hometown Cha Cha Cha. What more, Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin were also among the cast. To be honest, I developed a bit of liking for Kim Woo Bin after I watched The Heirs. He had transformed so much and his understated acting (as much as I could see in the trai...

Continuing with my obsession for the Korean Drama series, let me share what I watched and liked among those series since the beginning of January this year. Coffee Prince, Guardian: The Lonely & Great God, StartUp, Nok-Du, Marriage Contract, Something In The Rain, One Spring Night. I started watching a few others Oh My Venus, Touch Your Heart, Hometown Cha-Cha, Love ft Marriage & Divorce but left them halfway because the first episode did not grab my attention like the others did. Maybe I will get back to these some other day.  So  Coffee Prince  was hilarious, tear-jerky, I also found the male lead, Gong Yoo's character to be very a male chauvinist and rough. There seemed to be shades of narcissism but maybe I am wrong. The female lead was very cute and shown to be extremely hardworking. I watched it for her and slowly started liking the male lead too.  That took me to  Guardian  aka Goblin series.  While the premise can be cliched, it was ref...

I came across this genre of TV/web series about 2 years back in a mommies group on Facebook. I had fleetingly watched some series on NBK during my stay in Malaysia but it wasn't so appealing. I just noted down the popular series names to check out later. So sometime in 2019, I watched the first of many - What's Wrong With Secretary Kim? I found it to be mildly funny, moderately entertaining and the words Appa/Amma (for Father/Mother) seemed to catch my attention because those are words we Tamilians also use to address our parents.  The show however did not catch my fantasy and I did not watch another one for the next 2 years. Come January 2022, I decided to gi...
