Slice Of Life - KDrama Addict

Was surprised to see Strong girl Do Bong soon as the FL here. Male lead looks "tasty" as Doom. Dong Kyung works at a webtoon publishing company as an editor. She is diagnosed with a terminal illness. As her day goes on horribly she sees a meteor shower and wishes Doom fall on Earth and It comes to an end. This falls in the ears of Doom himself. What happens next forms the rest of the story. Doom is fed up being evil and wants out. Whether he gets a chance to do that we'll have to see to find out. The way Myul mung calls Dong Kyung yobo or jaagi is so cute and funny. The story progresses very slowly, the other Deity is highly irritating. I don't understand why she needs to make statements like these. I mean what the hELL! And what kind of deity lives in a hospital as a patient? Is there any backstory to this? In India we do I not have any legends of such deities who will suffer for the sins man commits. Humans suffer or rather reap the benefits of their actions - Karm...

  So after all the hype around this series by all the influencers in the KDrama world, I decided to wait for the series to end so I could binge-watch. I tried watching as and when episodes were released with If You Wish Upon Me, but I ended up forgetting many things. So now that the 12 episodes are over, I can happily watch them all in one go. To start with the design and music in the introduction are very intriguing - remind us of the vintage Little Women era, the graphics give off that scent tbh. Little Women is a novel by Louisa May Alcott that was published in 1868. The novel is set during the Civil War and follows the lives of the four March sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The novel explores the sisters' relationships with each other and with their parents, as well as the challenges they face growing up in a time of great social upheaval. As they navigate the complexities of adulthood and the expectations placed on them as women, the sisters must learn to support each other a...

Image from Rakuten Viki Disclaimer: I wrote this as I watched each episode. I started watching this drama a few months ago but at that time, I somehow didn't find it so interesting so left the first episode halfway. But now that time has passed, it does seem interesting. Yes, it is the regular trope but nice in a way, maybe because of my current mindset - fangirling for LJG (if you check, I am on a parallel LJG marathon too) This drama is a romcom about the twin lives of Park Min-young who plays Sung Deok-mi, is a curator by day and a fangirl by night. She's obsessed with Shin-An, an idol, but has set her own limits. Enter Ryan Gold (Kim Jae-wook), a top-class artist who has lost his mojo because of a painting. Their paths meet, and what happens next forms the rest of the story. Park Min-young is perfect for the role of curator - she knows her stuff, has taken an art gallery from zero to the top and as the fan girl she's collecting everything about her favourite idol. She...

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...
