Slice Of Life - KDrama Addict

I watched Eve after I saw Seo hye in Lawless Lawyer . I was shocked to see how much she had lost weight, she was all so pale in the entire series. I feel she had to lose weight to resemble a girl in her 20s. But believe me, she was so fragile. I couldn't bear seeing her. While she does a fantabulous job with her acting, she can jump from being the coy Sun Bin to the menacing La El in seconds, her skinniness does keep troubling me. I really hope she is alright healthwise. Coming to the story, a revenge drama, can get gory and scary, keeps you startled for most part (at least I was), disgusted by the villains for their actions. How greed and power once again make people do things that are inhuman. How one man's greed for power and money can make him destroy an entire family and this man doesn't stop at hurting others, he hurts his own people. How growing up in such a situation can make a child also a devil. Actors did a fantastic job getting into the skin of the characters. A...

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 ...

Didn't hear too much about this series on social media but decided to give it a shot for 2 reasons 1. Is a legal drama 2. Has only 12 episodes. Until the 8th episode, we are still trying to figure out who Cheon Jihun is and why he does what he does. He comes across as a funny, silly lawyer who charges only 1000 won as legal fees. But we also see him wear fancy clothes and goggles at any part of the day. Then we realize how he was and how he changed himself to be. In the past, he is seen to be as less emotive and doesn't show his emotions at all. He hardly smiles at people, doesn't mix too much, generally, a socially awkward kind of person. But he warms up to a fellow lawyer slowly. I really loved how he finally grieved the passing of his then-girlfriend and how he takes up her dream as his. Cheon Jihun - I've never seen his dramas or movies but what a guy. Looks very plain and has no special stuff (on the exterior) but what acting he can do! I kind of like his walking s...

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 m...

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...
